Personality: Origami speaks better Japanese than she does English, but she has a soft spot for China. She is always fun, although can be a bit reserved at times. She doesn't give up easily and can debate her way out of almost any situation.

History: Child - Origami was born in Japan, although her parents moved there from China. She grew up learning Japanese fluently and knows a little English and even less Chinese. She had a spoiled life as a child, because she was an only child and often got everything she wanted.

Pre-Teen - Pre-teen years were hard, because her parents decided to make Origami work for what she wanted. She always earned easy A's in school, and excelled in every class. Her parents told her to get a job one day, and after a bit of a fight, she applied to a classy, oriental clothing store and was hired right away. She worked hard there and soon worked her way up from employee to assistant manager, earning more cash which bought her more clothes. From then on she was always in fashion.

Present - Origami quit her job and moved to North America where she has opened her own little shop which sells her favored clothing style. She actually sews and designs all her clothes and she calls her shop the "Panda Boutique". It gets a lot of attention and she is doing really well with it, making her parents very proud of her all the time. Although it is a lot of work, Origami balances her time really well, and always has time for her friends. She even hired her best friend, Tasha, to work with her (as co-designer and fellow manager) in her shop.
