FULL NAME : Jordan Corin Hsing.
ALIAS : Jordan Hsing.
GENDER : Female.
AGE : Nineteen.
SIDE : Citizen.
PHOTO REFERENCE : El Clickko, no?
OCCUPATION : Waitress.
RESIDENCE : A random apartment or house or something. Because I wish it.
DESCRIPTION :
Jordan stands at about 5'1", as both her parents were short, and weighs somewhere between 115 and 125 lbs, depending on how lazy she feels that month. Her skin is fair, if a little parchment-pale, and her hair and eyes are both deep in color, though for her eyes the wheel settles at 'brown', as opposed to 'black'.
Her tendency to wear sleeves and gloves comes from the fact that, during an accident, her back, right arm, and hand were all burned, a fact she is both uncomfortable with thinking about, and ashamed of the appearance its caused on her skin.
When she was eighteen, Jordan's friends convinced her to get a tattoo. Influenced by her experiences, and by a vague knowledge of mythology, Jordan chose a colorful phoenix, starting at the small of her back, and traveling upwards about seven inches, just below the start of her burns.
PERSONALITY :
Jordan Hsing comes off as a stubborn person, with an iron will. Really, though, she just doesn't want to admit to herself how insecure she really is. She subconsciously searched for approval in everything she does, sometimes annoyingly so. However, sometimes that painted surface of strong-willed feminist sink into her soft skin, and she manages to pluck up enough courage to form an idea or two before returning to her shell.
Because Jordan merely wants to be liked, the hint of a temper flares up when she's insulted. To her, this could merely be a friend cheerfully pointing out that she's being ridiculous, or letting her know that she should try harder to be her own person.
She holds in her a deep fear of fire, and because of an accident at her previous home, has developed an almost OCD-like behavior in terms of constantly checking different items, situations, etc.
GOAL IN LIFE :
To learn how to cook without exploding her microwave; conquer electronics and finally buy herself a cell phone.
LIKES :
♠ Eating someone else's cooking.
♠ Neon-bright colors.
♠ Fireworks.
♠ Bubblegum.
♠ Going to the beach.
♠ Cats (though she's allergic).
DISLIKES :
♠ Fire.
♠ Getting weird looks/judgements.
♠ Feeling compelled to check on things.
♠ Storms.
♠ Dogs (mildly afraid).
FAMILY :
FATHER! Cheng Hsing; 47.
MOTHER! Gabriella "Ella" Carpenter-Hsing; deceased.
BROTHER! Anthony "Tony" Hsing; 21.
BROTHER! Finley "Fin" Hsing; deceased.
SISTER! Sh'Bel "Shelby" Hsing; 17.
HISTORY :
Jordan's family life was always the average household--they went to work and school, and then came home to spend time with the family. It was all lather, rinse, repeat, until one day, when helping her older brother Anthony cook, a fire broke out. While her father was at work, Gabriella Hsing sprang into action, telling the kids to run outside, and get away from the fire. However, young Finley had been fast asleep, and through a combination of faulty fire alarms, and a few acts of stupidity, the flames claimed Gabriella and Finley as its own.
This experience has left Jordan unwilling to cook, and with a deep fear of both fire and electronics. She realizes that, in this advancing age, and with her own need to succeed, cell phones, at the very minimum, are necessary in her life, so she works at this. Jordan also has a habit of checking to see if the oven is turned off, if batteries in various devices work, and if the doors are locked, when she leaves her home.
Grieved with their losses, the remainder of the Hsing family moved to Gotham City in an attempt to start over, and Jordan has been their ever since.
