Family name: Chang
English first name: Wendy (preferred)
Mandarin first name: Xueman
Japanese first name: Yumiko
Age: 16
Hometown: Li Jing, Jenta
Appearance: Sort of tall, a bit thin, and vaguely pretty (since she spends all her time looking her best). She has a narrow face, slanted brown eyes, olive skin, a small mouth, and long straight black hair (layered cut). She usually wears some sort of skirt and three-quarter-length shirt (usually in black, dark blue, or some other dark color). Wendy is a rather typical Li Jing teenager.
History: Wendy has always been pushed by her parents to be perfect. They, like many other Li Jing parents, sent her to Mandarin language school from first grade on (though she already knew how to speak it, as they spoke it at home) and the standard bilingual English/Japanese elementary school. They valued education over everything (and anything else - like appearance - that would help her get a high-paying job in the future), putting her in high lanes for academic subjects, making her learn piano and play badminton to be well-rounded, and all the like.
They loved Wendy, and wanted her to be successful. They just sort of went about it the wrong way.
Wendy excelled in many subjects, though she always loved military history and battle techniques the best. Her parents taught her to strive to beat all others, and she started to view everything as a competition. Over the years, she grew just as obsessed about her grades and transcript as her parents did.
But she loved battling more. Any sort of competition was great, though she liked strategy and tactics (and barking orders) better than fighting. So she decided she wanted to take Pokemon battling classes (since training made you look well-rounded for elite colleges).
So she and her parents sent in her application for Desipil (after getting rejected by the super-competitive Fujimura School in Sapphire City - they don't speak much of that), and she was accepted.
So now all she has to do is get top scores.
Personality: Generally pretty nice (she likes having friends, if not only to brag her scores to or study with in hard times), but thinks of everything as a competition. She is highly competitive, and really hates losing. Wendy's a bit of a sore loser, and often decides to not be friends with those who beat her too much (unless she wants to get information on them from the inside, THEN beat them with vengeance). She also generally kisses up to the teachers, since she knows respect gets her good grades.
As for languages, she is fluent in Mandarin, English, and Japanese. She prefers to speak Mandarin only with her Li Jing friends and family (and she kills anybody who isn't of any sort of Chinese ethnicity who says her Mandarin name, since they normally butcher it), Japanese with people she deems smart, and English with everybody else. Mandarin and Japanese always seemed harder to learn (for others) and classier, so she takes notes in Japanese (or just Mandarin-style kanji, if she's short on space) and mutters to herself in Japanese. She speaks English to others at Desipil, though, since she doesn't think they deserve anything better.
She assumes people as competition that needs beating before she assumes you are a human being with feelings.
Program Sign Up: Trainer's program. She may read over some breeder's notes to help out her strategy, but she thinks contests are stupid and breeding sort of like slavery of a rather awkward kind (ever since she learned where babies came from, she veered away from breeding).
Loan Number: 1 (first place!)
Ambitions: To get the top score. To beat all the other students. To raise a top team. To never lose (or, at least, always beat those she loses to later, in a timely manner). To make sure her hair doesn't frizz too much. To get accepted to an elite college. To make a lot of money. To WIN.
