Reya Lu, a 12 year old girl, who has pure black hair and a cheeky face. The eldest child out of two. She lives in a decent house, not great but not bad, just a bit messy. It's very chaotic in the Lu house-hold, fighting among the kids, and arguing among the adults. Life is just what it is.
Her parents somehow adore her younger sister, Aria, way better. Not being that much younger, only exactly 1 year - both have birthdays on 25th of December - they way they treat she is like a baby. It's always competition for them, and every round it is the same, the winner is always the younger one. From outstanding drawings, passing music exam with 100% score, to sportsmanship of the year, Reya could never beat Aria.
It's hard to live with her family all loving one child more than another, she had lived in misery.
Reya's list of extra-curriculum stuff:
Music: Pianist (Grade 8+), Violinist (Grade 5), Cellist (Grade 6), Flutist (flute) (Grade 7), Music composer
Sport: Football (Soccer), Badminton, Ping-pong, Hockey (Inline too), Ice-skating
Other: Artist (Paint, digital, sketcher), Poetry (+ debating), Mathematician, Chess master
Plus many more...
She may have more talents than you could count, a busy timetable she hardly cares about, you think she should have fun in her spare time right? Well that's wrong, in spare time, her family thinks she is lazy, fat, anything a bully would say. At school it is no different.
Despite her popularity (For smartest, sportiest; etc.) she is also a victim of being bullied. As Reya's life was already like that, it didn't matter, she was use to hiding her feeling, she hardly ever eve showed feeling; neutral when winning a award, neutral at loosing, neutral at a funeral. She just never really showed it, and that concerned her peers/teacher (friends). They even sent emails and letter telling her parents. They never even cared, and put the emails on spam, and ripped up the mails.
The only times Reya really enjoyed life was with her besties; Lucy Yee, Anna Redwood, and Lily Parkinson. Once in a while this group will all hang out, at school or not. Her time with them is really tight due to not wanting to miss her lessons , then get a scolding from her parents.
And sometimes with her family's pets; Snowy (Bunny), and Duag (Puppy). Like when she's doing her everlasting homework she loves to cuddle up with them, walking the dog to get away from her family for a break. At night hugging them, along with silent cries she doesn't express at daytime.
Almost whole life feeling alone, apart from some close friends. Life just moves on and on for her...
