Name: Clara Huang Hui Xing
Age: 22
Personality:
Meet Clara, a fine example of the phrase ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’. This tiny package of an unassuming girl actually contains the wit of a rapier and an intelligence of a scholar. She has everyone and everything in her life in line and stops short at nothing but perfection for everything she does. Her charm, when she chooses to displays it, sets people at ease and makes for smooth, diplomatic relations. There are little trouble or turbulence in Clara’s life that can truly ruffle her feathers and even lesser still that she could not solve. Big things come in small packages, as the cliché phrase goes, and it certainly came with this one.
(Because I’m lazy, the other stuff are below. I’m gomen.)
+ Intelligent: Is there a word for total screaming genius that sounds modest and a tiny bit sexy? Either way, intelligent does not really even scratch the surface for Clara. She would have to lose 40 IQ points to be classified as 'intelligent'. A certified genius, Clara's ability to think and see beyond the average human ability at such a rapid pace makes her a gift worth cherishing - and guarding at all costs. Clara is a treasure, and she knows it.
+ Mature: Clara would beseech you not to take her as a child. Don't insult her intelligence by assuming she cannot understand 'the workings of adults'. She had never been treated as a child, not since day one, and so she was trained to see the world and live in it as an adult would. It’s a trait that many often forget, much to Clara’s irritation and it will do you good not to belittle her maturity. So maybe once in a while, you should try listening to her; you'd be surprised what you can learn from this young girl.
+ Prideful: When you know that you're worth something, and especially when you're worth a lot, you can't help but being just a tad... smug. She finds acceptance and glory in her gift, and thinks herself superior to all around her, only because that is indeed a fact. Clara finds no shame in her pride; everyone has it to a certain degree, and to have pride is to be in possession of something of worth, something no one else has. And if you have it, flaunt it.
+ Paradoxical: Now this may come as a utter contradiction, and it seems that Clara exists as a paradox all together, but despite how proud she is of herself, she is also very diplomatic and peaceable. True, she believes herself to be superior to rest and wouldn’t deny it out of fake modesty either, but Clara is not especially conceited about that fact. She neither mocks nor jeers at others for their lack thereof and is not particularly a snide person in nature. In fact, she wants to make friends, as any girls her age would. But this has proven quite a confusing bit of matter for others; shuffled so rapidly between dislike and enchantment for the little genius, one couldn’t be all that sure whether they truly loved her, or hated her. The nature of her personality seems scattered all over the place and sometimes you wonder what’s authentic and what’s fake, but Clara would assure you that every bit of her is as genuine as you are. After all, human beings are such complex creatures. Who could truly say that their personalities could be orderly sorted and filed?
+ Confident: They say that some are born great, some achieve greatness and others have greatness thrust upon them. Whoever you are, whichever you may be, you have to be confident that you are you. If anything, Clara has little patience for those who mope around in their flaws and failures. It is a rare thing, really, to see such self-assuredness in a girl as young as she, but when you are loved as much as you are hated, you learn to be secure in who you are. And that is exactly what Clara does. She knows that she is doing something significant in life when she has people who hate her. Sticks and stones may break her bones, but words shall never hurt her.
+ Passive Aggressive: Clara isn’t a fighter. As mentioned before, she prefers the diplomatic route with as little argument as possible. (She doesn’t like being conflict all that much, honestly.) While she might not agree entirely to your plans, she is always one for compromise and peaceful interventions, being a true diplomat till both parties can come to a favourable stand. It would usually go something like this: She would tell you that whatever you’re saying, it’s wrong. But if you insist, they would talk it out. And you two discuss and debate till both are satisfied (or seemingly so) and when you try it out and realise that it doesn’t work at all, and you have to surrender and backtrack to Clara’s original plan. And you’re not certain, but you feel as if she’s going, “I told you so.” And that is Clara’s way of passive aggression.
+ Witty, Venomous Tongue: Others might try to shove a gun down your throat, but Clara is more inclined to pierce you with words like arrows. Venomous arrows, dripping with poison, containing acid and other icky stuff. With her brain as her greatest weapon and her words as her toughest shields, Clara can make grown men sob with a single conversation. It’s as if she can see through the armour you have erected around your heart and straight into your soul to poke and prod at the fragile little thing within at all the right places. Okay, that may be a touch of an exaggeration, but Clara does have the uncanny ability to hit right where it hurts. Rest assured, she neither does this often nor feeds off the misery of others. But everyone had a way of protecting themselves when threatened, when annoyed, and this was Clara’s.
Three Choices For Positions:
Queen of Spades: This is my first choice and honestly, the most fitting one for Clara fff. LET ME TRY TO EXPLAIN WHY WITH MY AWKWARD USE OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
Singapore likes to think we’re royalty, or at least, elite. We might not say it out loud – because, of course, it’s not politically correct – but we hold quite a lot of pride in being Singaporeans. We are one of the richest and well-managed countries on the globe, and even more so for Asia. Clara fits into Spades because it’s a seafaring empire and like Singapore, commands leadership in trade. Spades is the kingdom of authority, power and responsibility. Tiny as Singapore might be, that’s exactly what the country symbolises as well. What we have to say can move countries (within reason), and Singapore has always held itself with pride, responsibility, integrity and a lack of corruption.
Clara fits the role as the Queen because firstly, she’s extremely diplomatic. She knows what to say and how to act, and though diplomatic relations are more of the King’s duties, she would be a strong pillar of support and advice. She knows how to have a firm grip over people and thus, is able to handle domestic affairs of the court with ease. She’s sharp-tongued but reasonably charming, and she does care deeply for the welfare of her kingdom and people. Perfectionist and over-achiever to a fault, this would be best brought out in a leader who can bring the kingdom to greater heights. What she lacks in the age department, she makes up for it with prudence, intellect and maturity. Impartial and unbias, Clara would address all domestic issues fairly and without favouritism. (And there shall be no corruption in her court!)
(Fun fact: Singapore used to be regarded as the ‘princess’ of all of Britain’s colonies back in the days, because of the immense wealth and benefit we brought to them. Winston Churchill even addressed his soldiers and told them, “We cannot let Singapore fall!”
Spoiler: We did.)
Nine of Spades: Clara would be a good ambassador who enjoys travelling and meeting people. Plus, given her ‘gift’ of knowing political correctness, she would be a fine representative for the kingdom of Spades. With a wit and sense of humour that is similar to the King, why, you would think that you’re meeting him in person.
Ten of Spades: GET YO SHIZZ TOGETHER, MOFO. YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG.
