[color=red]I want to apologize for being away from F-list for so long. I had a computer failure that took a while to get fixed. I should be back to normal soon and I tried to contact everyone I'd been playing with before my computer went down. If I was in the middle of a scene with you and you haven't heard from me in a couple months and you [u]didn't[/u] get a message from me when I came back please contact me. You probably got lost in the sea of messages I had to send today.[/color]

[collapse=quotes]"Oh, you lost your puppy? You poor man. Of course I'll help you look for it in those bushes, sir. Let me get my little sister to help. She loves puppies."

Zhen smiles at you calling her and her sister pretty. "Candy? We'd love some. Mother doesn't let us have sweets."

"No sir. Nuan didn't steal the cookies. It was me, I did it! Don't punish her!"

"No, don't hurt Nuan! Please! Don't make her do that, [i]I'll[/i] do it! Just leave my sister alone!" [/collapse]

Zhen lives with her single mother who works two jobs to support the family often leaving her and her six year old sister Nuan (who looks much like an even smaller version of Zhen) home alone to fend for themselves when she can't find a sitter. She pushes Zhen and her sister hard in school as well as making them do many chores. Sweet innocent Zhen has never had a father figure in her life and doesn't get much affection from her mother either. And to make things worse the kids in her primarily white school mock her for being Asian.

Being alone so often and with her self esteem so low it would be easy for unscrupulous men to take advantage of the poor girls.

Zhen and Nuan often wear very cute clothes, almost as if their mother is dressing them like every day is school picture day and they must look their best, but most of the clothing is a little worn since it comes from thrift shops and Nuan wears hand me downs from her big sister.

[collapse=Scene Ideas for Zhen]
Zhen's sister is optional. She can be assumed to not exist or to be somewhere else if you don't want to play with her too.

1: Playing alone in the park. Zhen and her sister are playing in the park while their mother is at work. The girls are gullible and trusting. A story about a lost puppy you need their help finding or an offer of candy to get in your car will do the trick. Or if there are no witnesses they're both small and easily grabbed. Zhen is very protective of her little sister, threaten Nuan and Zhen will do whatever you want to keep her safe.

2: Babysitter. Their mother doesn't usually hire a sitter but if she has to work a double shift and possibly do some shopping after she might not have a choice. She might even be desperate enough to leave them with that man she doesn't really trust but who offered to watch them for free. She tells you the girls need a firm hand, especially Nuan who is more disobedient than her big sister. She even tells you to spank them if they misbehave.

3: School fun. Well, fun for you anyway. Thanks to Zhen's mother pushing her academically Zhen is actually a grade ahead in school. Which puts her in the local combined middle school/high school. The public one. As book smart as Zhen is for her age she's still incredibly gullible. An older boy (at least 14 please) or the sleazy janitor could easily lure Zhen somewhere private and take advantage of her. Obviously Zhen's six year old sister, no matter how smart the girl is, doesn't go to middle school with Zhen so she won't be involved with this one.
