Blood status: Halfblood
Raised in: Mixed
Home: Unlisted in Residential Areas.

Boggart: Yixin (magical head of the Anjing family) holds a piece of the family tapestry, which Yinuo's name is burned off. Instead of ashes, it turns to a molten sludge -- forming a growing puddle that creeps towards him.

Patronus: Unknown

Note: Yinuo is British-Chinese.
Yinuo is an extroverted and sociable fellow, who prefers the company of others to being bored by himself. He's fairly easy to get along with, provided you don't mind his frequently blunt statements and bossy manner.

Yinuo knows what he wants, what he likes, and what he expects. They are less likely to pout and sulk about things going their way; instead, you will find them devising the best way around the obstacle. Yinuo is quick with a smile and slow to true anger, though flashes of irritation or annoyance are common. If you need an adventure buddy or someone to liven up a part, Yinuo is here to help!

If not hanging out with friends or in the common room, Yinuo is probably investigating something or lurking somewhere he shouldn't. Yinuo is very comfortable with deciding that "no" is not generally an answer he is going to accept, and taking action to fix that answer.

Alternatively, they feel that there is additional information to be found, and they become fixated on finding out whatever they're missing. The boundaries of "secrets" that Yinuo accepts are fluid and vague even in his mind, leaving some major information undiscovered and other minor details obsessed over.

Yinuo has been trying to learn how to pick muggle locks, to the exasperation and despair of his family. If he can sit still long enough, they enjoy reading, but can typically be found listening to audiobooks on his CD player at home instead. They are athletic and graceful, leading to Yinuo's participation in several muggle sports before Hogwarts. They have no interest in art, but they do try and fake interest because his family has drilled into him the importance of The Arts.

Yinuo frequently fidgets by playing with his hair, swinging his feet, tapping his feet, or twirling whatever he is holding. He finds the long, flowing robes of the Hogwarts uniform incredibly annoying and restrictive, and he's been dress-coded a few times for trying to find ways to tie the robes out of his way -- or he'll just not wear them in general.
Yinuo's family is old and sprawling. He has several aunts, uncles, and cousins, and he knows all of them. They all know him. To be Anjing is to be connected and loved dearly, no matter what. Yinuo grew up treasured, and that has given them a great deal of confidence to move forward with whatever he does in life. Yinuo is also quick to offer up his family and house to friends and strangers alike -- if you need a safe place to land or a backyard for a party, the Anjing family is happy to help.

The magical side of the Anjing family is led by Yixin, though through sheer force of personality and wisdom, she has significant input in the muggle side as well. Yinuo admires her polite stubbornness, knowledge, and steadfast care for the family. Yixin is also a fierce protector and intimidates Yinuo.

The deep love of Yinuo's family does make him worry, sometimes. Especially with Yixin's unique position as family head and respected elder, that he fears being removed completely removed from the love and resources he's known his whole life. It's a fear that Yinuo has buried so deeply he doesn't fully recognize its existence. Such rejection would break their heart, but that would never happen. (Right?)


In addition to being treasured, Yinuo grew up rich and old money. He's never had to worry about what he needs, or even what he wants, and he forgets that others do not have that privilege. Being away from his family (and its resources) for such a long time is difficult, but letters are sent and received all days of the week, which helps.
