My Su Li character just got accepted at founders_legacy =D
Her IJ is androgynous, and she's 14 y.o. =)
(I also have a 20 y.o. Su Li over at LJ and a 24 y.o. Su Li at androgynous88. Ahahaha... That Su Li will eventually end up with Draco.)

In that vein, I give you:

"Eight Things about Su Li" (androgynous)
(will eventually be 20 Things in the future when I'm less lazy. Heh.)


1. Su Li's parents were born and raised in Southern China. They bumped into each other when they were sorting out their work visa at the Ministry of Magic in London.
The Ministry official was being less than polite, and Su Li's father stared him down into cowering efficiency. It was love at first glare, or so Su Li's mother liked to say.

2. Su Li was born on the eighth day of the eighth month of 1980. Her grandparents were convinced that she would be successful in anything she set out to do. Since both her mother and father were an only child, she was the sole grandchild shared between four doting grandparents.

3. When she was three, she used to play with the son of her parents' business partner. One day the boy came clutching a wrinkled rose from his mother's garden.
In front of all the adults, he asked her to marry him. She kissed his cheek and told him she didn't plan to marry until she's 29. Her mother would remember this vividly when she turned 20 and still had no boyfriend (or girlfriend).

4. Li hated the color pink. She associated it with silly girls who were decked out in frills and perfumed lotion like some pampered poodle. Whenever she could get away with it, she would wear a pair of blue jeans or straight black pants.
When her mother asked why she refused to dress like other little girls, she claimed that the color pink only served to kill brain cells.

5. Until she was ten, Li's hair used to fall to the middle of her back. One day this horrid six-year-old Muggle boy (they lived in a mixed Muggle-Wizarding neighborhood) spat chewed bubble gum to the back of her head.
Rather than ask her mother to spell the gum out, she took the problem in her own hands--with the help of a pair of kitchen scissors.

6. Her mother took one look at her butchered hair before whisking her away to the nearest hair salon.
After giving Li a stylish short haircut, the hairstylist gushed at her mother, "What a handsome boy you have! I wish my son is half as well-mannered as yours!"

That was the first time someone mistook Li for a boy.

7. Li was 99% sure that she would be sorted into Ravenclaw. She was ambitious but not all that cunning, hardworking but not all that loyal, and passionate but not all that foolhardy.
The hat told her she would do well in Ravenclaw, but she might be happier having more outgoing friends.

Somehow, I doubt that, Li touched the hat's brim.

Only time will tell. Not Gryffindor, then, the hat replied. "Ravenclaw!"

8. She vaguely recognized the Patil girl from one of the tea parties her mother sometimes attended. Hoping she didn't look as nervous as she felt, she scoped out the faces of her new Housemates at the Ravenclaw table. On the opposite side, a thin boy in spectacles gave her a tentative smile. She gratefully smiled back.
