A P P E A R A N C E
Appearance:One would think that considering Su is fully Chinese, she'd look exactly like one. Strangely, people have mistaken her for a mixed ethnicity before. Su has a somewhat tanned complexion with sharp cheek bones and almond-shaped hazel eyes that don't normally belong to the typical image of an East Asian. Her dark locks seem to glimmer a certain brownish-red shade in the sun, falling over her shoulders that are usually kept bare.

Though education is obviously her first priority, Su is definitely not one to give up on her appearance. Its definitely not hard to balance out studying and keeping up with the latest fashion trends. She loves makeup, especially black eyeshadow applied around the eyes to give herself a mysterious look. When she isn't dressed in her school uniform, she's content in dresses, slacks and fashion tops. Jewelry, however, is worn minimal. She absolutely adores her pearls, but rarely goes over the top with accessories.

Su is a petite thing, standing at 163 cm (5'4") and 50 kg (110 lbs.). Her small frame is very apparent, and has been on the receiving end of many questions about her eating habits. Rest assured, Su knows her nutritions and eats to her heart's content. Many girls her age see her fast metabolism as a blessing. Su herself considers it a burden because she believes herself to be too skinny. She knows she's in good shape as it is, but she could do better with a little more meat on that bod.
Posture: Walks briskly with a straight posture, sits with elbows on table and leaning back slightly into her chair
Heritage: Chinese
Typical Scent: Apricot shampoo
Overused Phrases:
Distinguishing Features: Her hazel eyes

P E R S O N A L I T Y
At First Glance: "reserved", "aloof"
Personality: First impressions from Su leave people thinking she's rather aloof and conserved. However, most of the time, it's the completely opposite. She isn't afraid of speaking what's on her mind, even if it can sound incredibly sarcastic and blunt. She is highly impatient for anything, whether it has to do with getting homework graded or dealing with people. Hence, Su knows that she gain the knowledge, but she couldn't teach for life.

Speaking of, as mentioned plenty of times before, knowledge is Su's biggest motivation to get through all her Hogwart years, despite the incidents happening that mostly have to do with Harry Potter. She has done very well in her courses, and had been anticipating the prefect position. Nonetheless, the fact that it went to Padma instead did not upset her much. Su tries not to be a sore loser (especially considering she dislikes them by principle) but rather finds joy in the competition.

Being a perfectionist or striving to be can be seen as a habit by many people, especially when she tends to be very organized and gets a bit iffy if even one sock is out of place. Another bad tendency of Su's is that she tends to bite her nails, especially when nervous. Hence she rarely wears nail polish unless she's attempting to quit the habit. So far, it hasn't worked so Su has pushed that worry aside altogether.

On the matter of people, Su isn't a complete social butterfly, but she would never dream of considering herself as an outcast either. She's willing to form new relationships and friendships promoting House unity. Even better if the other character shares common interest and doesn't mind partaking in a friendly competition of Who Gets Higher On That Exam. If one is friendly toward her, she would likely be friendly toward you. If you manage to do something that tests her patience, she would be likely to voice that in a frank manner. Su feels nothing for Death-Eaters, their supporters, racists, or just incredibly prejudice people in general. They may be classmates by obligation but that doesn't always extend to friendship.
Likes: Knowledge, leadership positions, gaining intelligence, passing with E's on exams and essays, group study sessions, her roommates/friends, House unity, animals, Care of Magical Creatures, non-magical creatures, Muggle Zoos, dragons
Dislikes: Bad grades, sore losers, Divinations, lazy or stupid people, making mistakes, ceramic dolls, Muggle horror flicks, waiting for something for long hours, Death-Eaters and their sympathizers, obviously, prejudice, racism
Hobbies: A fellow Ravenclaw is most likely to find Su lounged in the commons in her free time with her nose lodged in a textbook. No, not one for classes, but an extra subject she simply likes to read for fun. More than half of the time, it's a book on animals. While she's taking Care for Magical Creatures, reading the book would be mandatory, however, Su also loves to read up on non-magical creatures. This fascination stemmed from summer trips to the Muggle Zoo that she annually visited with either grandparent or her father. (Her mother really doesn't have much experience with Muggle money to attend one.) Since then, she's found much pleasure in analyzing similarities between magical and non-magical, and studying their behaviors. Her secret ambition (which is only a secret from her parents since they actually would want her to go into a Ministry or Medimagic career) is to become a Magizoologist after Hogwarts.
Habits: Biting nails when nervous
Phobias: Su is terribly afraid of ventriloquist dolls. There was an incident that involved a very creepy looking dummy in a Muggle play that she once attended with her grandmother. After the show, she parted from Joana for a few minutes to use the restroom and got lost on the way. She did, however, walk into the host's dressing room accidentally and find herself facing the doll itself sitting on the vanity table staring directly at her in the dark. She was reminded of the incident when she found another one lying across the commonroom couch one day in her second year, not knowing that it belonged to one of the first years. She's not too keen on ceramic dolls either, but she's not exactly phobic of those.

B I O G R A P H Y
Parents: Timothy and Joana Li, a rather traditional married Muggle couple of Tibet, China, moved to London, England sometime in the 1960s about a year after their marriage. Money was scarce but there was enough to start a small business. Hence, Tai-Pai Cuisines, a quaint little restaurant in the heart of Waterloo was founded. Considering there were not many other Chinese families in London at that time, the restaurant was quite an attraction among the locals. Business eventually grew to several restaurants around other parts of London. When an abandoned warehouse about two blocks away from the original restaurant burned down, the Lis bought the lot and Timothy decided to go into hotel management. Erik Li was born around this time and he suddenly became the couple's good-luck charm. Business was going well and the Lis eventually became a wealthy bourgeois-class household.

Perhaps the only hardship that came to the family was when Erik started to show magical powers. His mother believed in magic and thought this to be a wonderous miracle. Timothy, however, became quite wary and this caused a huge rift between father and son. Erik eventually received a letter from Hogwarts and started to attend, supported by a mother who still found it difficult to adjust but the maternal love inside her could not turn her son down. He was then sorted into Ravenclaw, found a girlfriend, Katelyn Tam, also in Ravenclaw (who happened to be Pureblood) and then graduated with excellent grades. Two years later, Erik and Katelyn were married. This made the old Li couple feel even more outcasted what with a witch in the family. The barrier between father and son grew even thicker. In an attempt to mend ties, Erik decided to work with his parents at the Li's Tai-Pai Hotel (this only helped marginally, but it was a start). Katelyn herself pursued a career in Herbology. A year and six months into their marriage, little Su Li was born.

Childhood: There was a very probable chance that little Su Li was eventually going to exhibit magical powers when she grew from a baby to a young child. However, this was the least of her grandparents' worries. Witch or not, Timothy and Joana were extremely fond of Su. Erik and Katelyn had just as much love for their daughter, but as mentioned before, the Lis are mostly of traditional and conversative Chinese values. Since she was able to attend primary school, there was strictness and discipline instilled into her life. There was a lack of visible adoration from her father and grandfather, but that came from her mother and grandmother anyway. The discipline and pressure to do extremely well in classes only became stronger when Su's magical powers emerged at the age of ten. A year later, she had been accepted into Hogwarts.

School: Su had grown up with the thought that before everything comes education first. Hence, she strived to achieve the best of the best from everything she was to learn in Hogwarts. This obviously wasn't going to be the first time she entered the subjects considering her father had prepped her on all courses in an hours-long lecture. She was sorted into Ravenclaw, just like her parents, which came as no surprise.

Though she started out as a recluse in her first and second year, Su eventually made friends in her own House (and a handful more in other Houses). After all, when it came to studies, Su did better off on her own, but what about all that was happening around the school? When the Chamber of Secrets was opened and a serial killer was known to enter the school, Su learned that in dire needs, all you require for comfort is a friend. The bond of friendships she had formed with most people had solidified for good in her fourth year when a student, Cedric Diggory, was killed during the Triwizard Tournament. During the last weeks of school, she stuck by Cho's side, willing to provide her shoulder to cry on.

At the end of her sixth year, after Dumbledore's death, Su felt completely vulnerable and fearful for the first time in her life. Granted that the incidences of the years before that were rather frightful as well, but she knew they'd be safe under Dumbledore's watchful eye. What she didn't expect was his tragic end. She begged her father and mother to take her back home, perhaps get her homeschooled. Two days afterwards, they gave in to her wishes. But back at home, Su felt even more restless, almost ashamed that she hadn't been more courageous and stayed. Sure, she was no Gryffindor, but she had always been motivated by knowledge that nothing could stop her from receiving it. So why let anything interfere now? Come September, Su informed her parents she was going back to school in September, and they supported her decision completely.

After School: Coming soon
