Physical Description:

Song is tall for a Chinese, but average hight for a German. His hair is black, wispy, cut an inch or so below his ears. His eyes are almond shaped and often dreamy, his skin a clear golden-peach. Song's smile always seems faintly hopeful, and when he's 'just thinking' he tends to look worried.

Personality:

Song is quieter then most guys his age. His dark eyes notice a lot; there isn't much he misses. When people first see him they think he's shy, but he never is. He's too confident to be shy; he's also to confident to show off. Of course he's proud when he's the best, but he doesn't set out to prove it. He's gentle, loves investigating things with a burning curiosity. Because he often immerses himself in his thoughts, Song sometimes finds it hard to accept when he's wrong, especially when it's something he's been doing for ages and has always worked for him. He also gets touchy if people scorn his ideas. Song is very protective of the things he dreams up. He's also super-casual.

Dancer who sings

Background/family:

Song's mother is Chinese and his dad is German. He has lived in Germany all his life, but has visited England, China, Russia and Italy because of gymnastic competitions and studied at an American collage. He has also been to many places in Germany with his squad. He can speak German, English and Chinese with a terrible German accent. Because he has always known Chinese he doesn't bother to get the words sounding right. Song has an older brother and two younger sisters. He is very close to his sisters, but not so much his brother and parents. When Song was younger he was in total awe of his older brother, but it wore off as he grew up.

Song loves gymnastics. He worked purely in gym, doing dance only in improve his tumbles until he was eighteen. Then he started to lean towards musical theatre. He began taking singing lessons and spending more time in dance. Song found he had a nice voice, and though he physical performances would always be better he found singing made him happy. He and some of his collage friends formed a mock band and called themselves 'the thirteenth mistake'. Song composed strange little songs about love, life, and people he knew. Now the only gymnastics Song does is floor. He doesn't mind at all; that was the bit he liked most anyway!! The height he gets in his tumbles is breathtaking! His leaps in dance are huge, too.
