She likes to research what the season's colors and integrating them into her wardrobe. She loves to pair dark clothing with bright accent colors. Chia loves to accessorize, you can always see her with several rings on, or eccentric necklaces and odd earrings to boot. Due to her height and weight she can sometimes even wear young teen clothing which gets some interesting pieces. Because of her cultural background, Kaochia also likes to express herself sometimes with traditional Hmong clothing. She would never wear it to school, but she does have some outfits and purses that were handmade for events. Despite her disconnect with her traditional lifestyle she loves the fashion that comes with her culture.[/i] [hr][center][img]http://i.imgur.com/mRqsf2t.png[/img][/center][hr][h3][b][i][color=gold][center]Traits that define your character[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [i][color=dbb5b4][center]Happy Go Lucky - Dramatic - Gentle - Liar[/center][/color][/i] [b][color=dbb5b4]Sexuality:[/color][/b] [i]Heterosexual[/i] [b][color=dbb5b4]Personality:[/color][/b] [i]Kaochia has a very happy go lucky personality, with a tendency for the dramatic and a weight on her shoulder that doesn't seem to get lighter. At school she is the girl that you will see with a cheerful smile across her face and a pep in her step. She enjoys making people laugh, talking with anyone that approaches her and being involved with extra-curricular activities. Back at her childhood home however, she tends to be very meek- not raising her voice or getting in anyone's way. She likes to keep to her room besides coming out to do chores. No one from school has ever been allowed to come back over to Kaochia's house so no one has really seen that side of the girl. Kaochia could be seen as a liar because of the sort of double life she is living, but she feels it's better to just wait out her problems rather than confront them and cause more trouble for herself.[/i] [b][color=dbb5b4]Habits:[/color][/b] [list][*]Gasping dramatically for no real reason [*]Texting with too many emojis and exclamation marks [*]Eating late at night[/list] [b][color=dbb5b4]Hobbies:[/color][/b][list] [*]Self teaching how to play piano [*]Knitting and sewing [*]Watching youtube tutorial videos[/list] [b][color=dbb5b4]Fears:[/color][/b] [list][*]The dark [*]Ghost and spirit stories/pictures [/list] [b][color=dbb5b4]Likes:[/color][/b] [list] [*]Teal [*]Cooking big meals [*]Hot tea with lemon and lots and lots of honey [*]Having a reason not to go home after school [*]Reading and learning about new things [*]Getting her hair and nails done [/list] [b][color=dbb5b4]Dislikes:[/color][/b] [list][*]Getting lectured often [*]Not feeling like a grown adult [*]Having to babysit her siblings last minute [*]Summer time heat and humidity [*]Some of the traditions in her culture [*]Having to lie about her major to her parents[/list] [hr][center][img]http://i.imgur.com/r2eDKfY.png[/img][/center][hr][h3][b][i][color=gold][center]History[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [b][color=dbb5b4]History:[/color][/b] [i]Born to a middle class Hmong American family, Kaochia is the middle child of six children. She has three older siblings; two of which have moved out and started families of their own. Her other older brother has been incarcerated for a few years now with about 5 years to go. She was too young to really know why he was put away, and her parents just tell her that "That is what happens when you're bad. Don't be bad!". Kaochia's other siblings that are younger than her, and she often is stuck babysitting them while her parents work at their family owned laundromat. Growing up in a traditional house, Kaochia was taught how to cook, clean, and 'tend' to the men of the house on a very early age. It wasn't until she was old enough to go to school that she realized not all family dynamics out there were just like hers. She felt a bit of rebellion to her chores and tasks because of this, but those outbursts were quickly shutdown with a stern tone and a firm hand. Kaochia was a good kid, kept on top of her school work and because of her fear of her parents mental and physical abuse- kept to herself for the most part. College brought Kaochia a bit more freedom and allowed her personality and true self to blossom. She kept her childhood ways in her homestead but every morning when she walked through those double doors she was able to leave those worries and thoughts behind. She made plenty of friends, and joined a few of the clubs available that interested her- letting her parents know that they were for becoming a doctor preparation only. Most days were built upon lies to her parents; claiming she was practicing for exams everyday while she really would be out at the mall with her friends. Things didn't add up one day when she came home with a head full of blonde hair instead of her natural black. That month was hell, as the lectures grew longer and the choke chain grew tighter. Kaochia's mother eventually accepted the change, and even allowed the girl to keep it up, but only if she began working at the laundromat every Sunday. For now, Kaochia is trying to break the chains her parents have bounded to her. She is lying about her major in college, saying that she is going for her doctorate but really she is going for music to pursue her want to play the piano professionally. It is very hard on her, but she hopes that can turn her life around while attending college.[/i] [hr][center][img]http://i.imgur.com/1qX5mxv.png[/img][/center][hr][h3][b][i][color=gold][center]Extras[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [b][color=dbb5b4]Character Quote:[/color][/b] [i]Sometimes you need to bend some rules to get where you need to be[/i].
