Appearance

Ming is a woman that can be most easily described as short and frumpy being more on the wide end of the spectrum though that does not mean she is in any way unhealthy. Rather than being a heavy unhealthy eater Ming is larger due to the fact she just packs on fat due to her metabolism being weaker. Ming could care less about her weight and rather flaunts it liking to say things such as “I am large and in charge!” rather than let it get to her. Her typical outfit consists of a pair of glasses she will almost always be wearing having terrible farsightedness without them. In her hair she has a special pin passed down to the eldest women of every generation and only to be given to her first born daughter should the time ever come. The pin is adorned with a special silver snow decoration that hangs from the ruby tip of the pin. As for the actual outfit beneath her heavy layer Ming wears a light, blue tank top and small pair of tight fitting blue workout shorts. Her actual heavy layer consists of mainly down based clothing and a heavy coat adorned in her family's crest on the shoulders. The hood of the jacket is rather a massive fur collar made from massive Timber Wolves that live in the mountains with the fur able to help Ming through temperatures of down to negative sixty degrees. On her she also carries a large belt with three small pockets for carrying not only tools for fixing a large manner of problems but also ice climbing gear.

Beneath her jacket she wears large and tight fitting pants designed to keep heat in and make sure that it is not siphoned out by the frozen air. The pants themselves are blue in color with decorative light blue lines on her sides that serve no purpose. Her boots are large with small metal spikes on the bottom to help her grip the mountains surface and the ice when she needs too. The rims of the boots and the bottom rims of her jacket both have the same Timber Wolf fur as the top of her jacket. On her hands Ming wears specialized gloves that attach to her jacket and prevent the cold air from getting inside the jacket as best she can along with the gloves being lined with the Wolf fur they also have a soft outside being almost as soft as silk but still sturdy as the strongest material. Her hair is almost always kept tied in a bun using her family hair pin with her bangs being swept to the right. In general Mings complexion is much more pale and fair than many would expect due to the lack of sun they tend to get higher in the mountains due to cloud coverage being very consistent.

Personality

The cheerleader is a very good explanation of how Ming acts while she is just hanging around with people. Rather than sitting around on her own Ming has a habit of moving around and talking with anyone and everyone she can never being one to shy away from the idea of interaction. The reason for this is simply the fact she enjoys people as a whole finding them all fun and great to interact with along with the usual daily routine she is used to. Because of this many would note that she has a habit of talking your ear off as she simply loves to chat with people and could go on for hours about the stories of the mountains she lived in. Because of this she is not one to shy away from drinking having taken a liking to the midi made Sake and even some of the harder drinks like whisky which she tends to mix with other drinks to numb down the flavor. When she gets Drunk in that sense Ming can be one of two ways based on how she was feeling to begin with, she can either be a super happy drunk who the smallest joke or the worst one could make her lose breath from laughter. Or if things are not going the way she hoped Ming can be a sappy drunk quick to cry when she reminds herself of the failures she had and tends to lean on people for support both figuratively and literally

Even with all that Ming is one to try and look on the bright side of everything since in her time with the family she ended up learning that no matter what there tends to be a positive that stems from the negative. It is that reason that those who are overly negative in their world view annoy her since she just cannot understand them and how they see the world from that light. Should anyone be down in the dumps Ming has a tendency to be very empathic for them feeling how they do to the degree where sometimes if the person she is trying to cheer up is crying she ends up doing it too. It is due to this empathy that Ming loves to make others feel better as with every cheer she puts her heart and soul into it, and with every pat on the back is a sincere feeling that you can always do better.

While Ming prefers not to fight and would rather talk things out she is not naive enough to believe she will never have to fight. It is because of this that Ming is a very motherly figure trying to cheer on her allies while also focusing on her own battles hoping to get them over quick and while both receiving and inflicting the least amount of pain. In her own opinion Ming feels that no dark mage can be entirely evil or at least that none have the potential for good tending to get very angry when anyone says otherwise as she can never believe that some kindness or good exists in anything. With such a sentimental nature to her Ming is very good at taking the orders of her leaders or partners tending to do it with a cheery little, “Of course!~” Rather than a more serious tone. It is because of that fact almost all leaders tend to think she is not taking the job seriously as Ming tends to be more cheery than serious in the worst of situations. Yet that very fact can bring hope to people as Ming always refuses to see the worst in anything and will climb the despair until she stands at the peak of hope if she has to fall a thousand times to do it.

As a leader Ming is very much the same as if she was taking the orders being more unconfident as a leader than she is a follower as she believes she MUST make the best decision at all times. It is this very fact that can backfire on her as she tends to feel her only real despair when her own choices or actions cause another being to take grievous harm. Because of this while Ming may opt out most times to be a leader she will always when the need arises try her best to make sure that those under her are kept as safe they can be under her leadership. Because of this she tends to rely on the advice of others to make sure she is not being TOO afraid to get people hurt often being more of a follower even as a leader. This carries over into her relationships too as Ming is a woman that takes pride in her motherly nature often tending to smother someone she likes in her chest (Which often HURTS the person she does this to.) as a show of affection. As a lover she is almost too worried for the safety of those involved often doing three to four checks to make sure they are alright before they do anything (A fact her own family found annoying) but it all comes from a good place even if it is very unorthodox.
