Yue Zhang

Description: Yue had naturally pale skin but due to her outside activities there is small tan color to her complexion. Her hair is a dull burgundy and reaches just past her shoulders. She's somewhat short.

Personality: She is quite frank and honest which can mean she comes off rude or indifferent on the wrong occasions. She is also quite monotonous and quiet. Yue is however very intellectual and open-minded. She is a student finishing her last year of school before heading to college. If she's not cooped up inside on her computer, she's outside playing basketball.
It took her quite a long time to warm up to Kei; she mostly kept him studying and hardly interacted with him at first. Now, Yue is starting to enjoy her mischievous student but she still tends to keep a professional distance. She still doesn't deal well with how much of a handful he can be. They clash more than get along, especially since all Kei wants to do his hang with his senpais, and all Yue wants Kei to do is work and study. 

Background: Growing up in a busy, single parent household, Yue's emotional well-being was the last thing that was worried about. Her mother made sure to spoil her with tangible gifts and rigorously push her through school. But expressing feelings was never taught. Just as her mother taught her, Yue grew up to believe that education was the most important things, that and to be able to get into a high paying career. 
Seeing such an opportunity to teach special animals beings to be proper humans, Yue was fueled to teach and have her student be the best human to survive in the tough economy.

Yue lived in a small townhouse; close to her school, but in a quiet rather posh neighborhood.  There was one bedroom, a full kitchen and dining room, a living room which was designed a bit more like a mix of a study and a lobby, and an attic. The attic was well-kept and was where the students resided. There was bunk bed and standard bed, along with a wardrobe and drawer. Yue has also added an additional two futons to the attic due to the increase of students, in the meantime while she decides about buying another bunk or full beds. 

If she wasn’t instructing her students, she was at school (or studying). Yue was not in need of long study hours, she was brilliant. But studying was like clockwork, her entire routine seemed embedded into her. She has no need to work as she lived comfortably with money that her mother left her so she wouldn’t work while being in school. 

Yue was neglected of most care and love that parents give to their children when growing up. Instead of being raised to be a good daughter, she was instructed on how to be a good business woman, a good soldier. Any little thing, any, her mother would reprimand her for. If her elbows were at the table she would be sent to her room to reflect on her actions. If she spilled something, by accident, it was hand-washing the laundry for a month. If the cake she baked was a little too dry…the entire thing was garbage. Yue was not permitted or encouraged to ‘make friends’; she was always to focus on her studies and being the best person that she could be. A mother’s love or some fun with friends was seen as unnecessary time consumption. Even sickness, injury, or puberty was no excuse to her mother. Her mother even stated ‘If you’re not on the table, than I except nothing less of perfection,”. So basically, her mom said if Yue’s not in the emergency room ready to die than anything less of perfect is completely unacceptable. Yue has an inhumane sense of moral, justice, and right. She is far too tightly wound. This reflects in her ability to connect with her students, or anyone for that matter.

She sets strict expectations and rules to rigorous amount of work for her students. She doesn’t spend time to connect with them and only teaches them facts and ‘how to be a human 101’.

Yue has no personal goal for her future—no dream career. She was qualified to excel in most careers. She studied nearly everything in great detail. But all she really knows is to teach or to be taught. She took in the animal students into her home for a few reasons: to butter up her college application, to improve the world by adding ‘better humans’, and to see what teaching was like first hand.
