history / about / bio

Name: Ning Yizhuo
DOB: 10/22/2002
Orientation: Panual/Demiromantic
Major: Fashion Design
Year: Senior
Council: Communications Officer
Sports: Cheerleading
Status: Single/Busy

Ning Yizhuo, otherwise known by her nickname Ningning, was born and raised in Harbin, China. She moved away from home when she was 16 on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity awarded student exchange program, in which she studied in America for one year and France for her senior year of high school. It was during those two years that she was able to study and learn more about the history and application of fashion, solidifying the art as something she would like to do as a career.

It wasn't until her Sophomore year in college that she truly chose her lifegoal: to create and experience success with her own fashion line, inspired by the styles she loved the most. Influenced by the 2000's and cybercore wave, she adores sharp angles and futuristic-type fashion. Things that play with textures, angles, androgynistic features, and the obscure robotic nature that the future could offer. 

Ning Yizhuo’s international journey and bold personality shine through her fashion. Growing up in Harbin, she was surrounded by the blend of traditional Chinese aesthetics and modern cityscapes, which left an imprint on her sense of style. Her time studying in America exposed her to urban street fashion and vintage Y2K styles, while her year in France introduced her to avant-garde and haute couture. These influences meld together in her work, creating Whiplash Couture—a brand that marries sharp, futuristic designs with nostalgic, playful elements from the 2000s.

As a senior now, Ningning balances her demanding role as a cheerleader and her position as the council’s Communications Officer. Behind her confident exterior, though, she often feels the pressure of perfectionism, juggling both her professional ambitions and personal desires.

out of character

Before You Approach Me

•.*★ important。 Try to have something in mind and read my profile before actually talking to me about roleplaying. If you'd like, send me a random starter! I actually love 'em! And the more unique or out of the box, the better.

Writing & Plotting Style

•.*★ writing style。 I do script and para to novella. Script is generally done in 3rd pov, while para is done in 1st or 3rd pov. Lengthwise, I try to mirror, but I can get carried away fairly easy, so it's not guaranteed.

•.*★ plotting style。 I prefer winging over plotting most times, but I can plot. Because of this, I'll often do vague-ish plots that provide enough detail for you, but also give me enough room to play with our ideas. I also don't typically approach people unless I have a plot or idea in mind, and I really like when people do the same. Saves a lot of time.

To be honest, I also like writing starters and will most times if I know what I'm doing and if it makes sense for me to do it, but don't shove them on me. I get burned out doing so at times.

•.*★ overall。 I'm very flexible about how we actually rp and will work at your pace if possible. Like, I can do one lining script all the way to novella, in both 1st and 3rd pov. I'm really chill with whatever you wanna do!

Activity & Reply Speed

•.*★ important。 I will never poke you. Never poke me or I will ragequit/ignore you. You also don't need to remind me about me owing you a reply. I usually remember who I'm roleplaying with. Also refrain from using my activity or lack of it as an excuse to pester me about a reply. Doing like that will just annoy me and make me prolong sending something if I send something at all.

I'm usually very slow with my replies, sometimes because of the length, but sometimes because I'm just slow to do them. We can always drop/pick up our thread(s), but make sure you communicate with me. Also know that I might be active in the chat infrequently or a lot. I'm not a very consistent person when it comes to this.

Location Preferences

Honestly, I'll roleplay anywhere I can. I like rooms, walls when I'm busy, and I'm okay with PMs. Most plots I do are public friendly too, and when they aren't, I take them to PMs.

The Childhood Friend

  • Availability: Open/Taken.
  • Relationship: Long-time Friends.
  • Preferred Gender: Any.
  • Rec. Age: Senior/Junior

⸢ ⋆ ⸥ description
Ningning’s childhood friend from Harbin, this person has been a constant, though sometimes distant, figure in her life. They spent their early years together, forming a close bond, but when Ningning left for the exchange program, they lost touch for a while. Now both of them find themselves in the same college, and though their interests may have changed over the years, there’s still a deep connection between them.

This character might be studying something completely different—like engineering, business, or something more science-based—but they share Ningning’s drive and work ethic.

While they are supportive of her fashion endeavors, they sometimes worry she’s pushing herself too hard, recalling the quieter, more carefree version of Ningning they used to know. The rekindling of their friendship could be smooth, or there may be lingering tension from the years they spent apart, depending on how their relationship evolved over time..

TLDR: This character is someone Ningning grew up with in Harbin and reconnected with during college. They both have a shared history, but their paths diverged when Ningning left for her exchange program in high school.

The Photographer 

  • Availability: Open/Taken.
  • Relationship: Collab/Friend.
  • Preferred Gender: Any.
  • Recommended Age: Any.

⸢ ⋆ ⸥ description
This character and Ningning crossed paths during a fashion show on campus, where they immediately clicked over their shared love for edgy, avant-garde aesthetics. As a photography major, this person quickly became one of Ningning’s closest collaborators.

They help her bring her designs to life by capturing them in striking, bold images that reflect her cybercore inspirations. The two have developed a professional and personal bond, spending countless hours together in the studio perfecting their work. They trust each other creatively, often pushing one another to take more risks, and their collaborations have garnered attention from students and even a few local designers.

Beyond their creative projects, they enjoy hanging out over coffee, discussing the latest trends, and dreaming about their futures in the fashion world. They might even be working on Ningning’s launch campaign for Whiplash Couture.

TLDR: This character could be a photography major with a focus on fashion, and they often collaborate with Ningning on her projects, helping to capture her designs in a way that complements her bold, futuristic aesthetic.

The Roommate 

  • Availability: Open/Taken.
  • Relationship: Roommates.
  • Preferred Gender: Any.
  • Recommended Age: Senior.
  • Trivia: And they were roommates.

⸢ ⋆ ⸥ description
Ningning’s roommate is her go-to person for everything from late-night conversations about life to spontaneous fashion critiques. They’ve been living together since their Sophomore year and have developed an easygoing yet deeply supportive friendship. While they might not share Ningning’s passion for fashion, they respect her drive and are always there to offer an outsider's perspective.

In return, Ningning helps with whatever creative or academic project they're working on. They love throwing themed apartment parties when they can, which often doubles as a chance for Ningning to showcase her latest designs and for her roommate to play their music or display their art (etc.). Their friendship is filled with humor, encouragement, and a healthy amount of teasing.

TLDR: This character could be someone outside the fashion world—perhaps a music or visual arts major—who helps keep Ningning grounded. They share a two-bedroom apartment and have a fun, supportive dynamic.
