From Egs Mayhem

by nokvok

Name: Hou Nuo
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Place of Birth: Small town in China

Physical description:
Nuo is 5'3, slender and agile. She looks a little like those Chinese Floor exercise athletes, except a little more womanly, She by no means is 'skinny', but frail and slender. She has a little less curves than most Western men like, but aside from that got a very exotic beauty which just makes it nice to look at her. A happy smile and cute brown almond eyes emit a general friendly and energetic personality. Though she looks a little dumb at times.
She often dresses very skimpy, without the intention of seduction. It is more that she prefers light weighted clothes which don't hamper her motions. Her long, black hair is often tied back with two or three rubber bands, when worn open it quickly gets messy and hangs into her face.

Personality:
Nuo is, to be honest, not exactly smart. To be precise, she is so not smart, that she would have problems in school. Barely speaking English. But she is friendly and chummy, liking to be active and have fun. Where Fun for her is anything where she can do something physically. Sports, dancing, climbing...
She rarely talks about her family or past and seems rather clueless and oblivious and impulsive.
She seems to have troubles with the American culture.. or maybe with functioning in Society at all.
She doesn't like people who are mean to her... at all...

Brief history:
Nou is home schooled. She doesn't attend Moperville high, since she doesn't speak English well enough.
She immigrated a little while ago, following her father Mr. Hou who moved to Moperville about 10 years ago. It seems Nou is on the edge of being official mentally disabled and thus has not much contact to a lot of people and didn't find any friends yet.

Abilities:
Nou is flexible and agile to the human max and got unbelievable quick reflexes. She also never ever has shown even a hint of fear, and appears pretty indomitable in general.
Due to all her physical activities, she is also surprisingly strong, even though it's sinewy strength. She barely has visible muscles.

Weaknesses: Nou dumb. She also is allergic to Silver.

Name: Hui
Age: At least 10 years, though no one knows. Experts can tell she is in the prime of her life.
Gender: Female
Race: Cat
Place of Birth: Unknown (probably China)

Physical description:
Hui is an exceptional Beautiful, pure bred Dragon Li cat. The distinguishing broken Tabby pattern along with the almond shaped yellow fluorescent eyes and tipped ears make her look a little bit like a European wild cat and only good hunters or experts could tell the difference. As most Dragon Lis, Hui is rather large and strong for a cat, but she remains graceful and agile and even amateurs can tell she is beauty competition material.

Personality:
Hui is calm and hard to startle, which sometimes makes her appear a little vain. She can be quite persistent if she wants a treat from a human, offering purrs and petting in return. If however someone manages to anger her enough, she can become quite furious and isn't satisfied until the offender is severely hurt.
She is active mostly during the night and in the morning hours.
A Character trait which is otherwise almost unknown to cats is her notorious vindictiveness. People who hurt her often find their cars or homes scratched all up.

Brief history:
About 10 years ago Hou Zhi moved to Moperville to open a Herbs shop. With him came Hui. Ever since, Hui roams the town to her liking. Since the old, Chinese man doesn't feed her, she lived off the mice she catches and the treats the nice people give her.
Mister Hou is the only Human which Hui seems to respect. She never begs him for food or scratches up things in his shop.
She often hangs out at Moperville High, which is close to Mr. Hou's shop, and the teachers gave up on shooing her away.

Abilities: Very Clever Cat. Very Strong Cat. Very Beautiful Cat.

Weaknesses: Hui hates Water. She also has cat-ish urges and instincts which make her run after dangled toys or sleep most of the day and stuff. She seems to have some bad experience with something silver, since she seems to avoid silver things at high costs.

Side-character
Mr. Hou is a friendly old man of Chinese ethnicity who runs a Chinese spice and herbs shop close to Moperville High.
The Shop always smells of herbs and Chinese smokery. Mr. Hou usually sits on a bench before the shop and plays Go against himself, smoking his long, wooden pipe.
