Lin Daiyu

Gender: Female Age: Unknown Occupation: Former servant of the Xue Family Personality: In her youth, Lin Daiyu was a cheery and energetic child. As a member of a small family, Daiyu always knew her fate would be to serve one of the greater houses, and she feared being left alone in the vast expanses of Daguanyuan. Instead, Daiyu enjoyed the simpler things in life: she treasured the time spent playing together with Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan, she enjoyed composing poetry and held a love for transient things like flower petals, as they reminded one of the passage of time and the importance of living every moment. Additionally, Daiyu was proud of her strength, enjoying physical games and dueling, and demonstrated a protective side towards her friends. However, After the fall of the Kong Family and the death of Jia Huan, Daiyu's friendship with Baoyu started to deteriorate. Left one of the few survivors of the massacre, Daiyu began carrying a great sense of guilt and a feeling of hopelessness, as she could do nothing but carry on without being able to inquire on the truths of that day. Daiyu attempted to reach out to Baoyu, wishing to be free of this weight, but as the years passed and he continued smiling and dodging her questions, her feelings towards him turned to bitterness, to the point that when he informed her that he would be leaving Daguanyuan, she expressed her wish to not meet him again.
