Cui is a former runaway who survived the city through charm, adaptability, and sheer nerve. Though outwardly flippant and self-centered, his past has left him capable under pressure and unexpectedly reliable in emergencies. Now a nursing student, he is attempting to live an ordinary life—on his own terms—while carrying the physical and psychological remnants of the streets he escaped.
Cui has the look of someone deceptively soft—pastel hair, casual clothes, and an easygoing presence that masks a sharper edge underneath. His constant use of masks and clean attire hints at both his fragile health and his desire to distance himself from the grime of his past. He looks approachable, but never quite open.
Casual, clean, and comfort-focused. Cui favors breathable, soft clothing—often loose sweaters or long-sleeve shirts paired with shorts or relaxed-fit pants. He frequently wears a face mask in public, both out of habit from poor air quality and personal comfort. His style reads effortless but intentional, prioritizing cleanliness over trends.
Cui is sharp-tongued, self-serving, and unapologetically prioritizes his own comfort and survival. He changes loyalties easily and has little patience for authority or expectations placed on him, especially when they echo the pressure of his upbringing. Despite this, he is highly social, adaptable, and thrives in fast-paced or high-stakes situations, often stepping up when things get messy. Beneath his flippant and abrasive exterior is someone meticulous, observant, and surprisingly tolerant—slow to anger, but rarely sentimental.
Chaotic Neutral
“If it smells bad, looks bad, or feels bad—I’m not touching it.”
Cui Yun was born into a low-income household where affection and expectation were tightly intertwined. From an early age, he was praised excessively—his looks, his potential, his supposed future as a successful businessman—until those compliments hardened into obligation. Love came with a roadmap he never agreed to follow.
Unable to breathe under the weight of expectation, Cui ran away while still young and vanished into the city’s underbelly. He survived by adapting quickly, falling in with street gangs that offered structure without suffocation. He continued attending school despite homelessness, learning to balance survival with appearances. During this period, he learned first aid out of necessity, patched up injuries with whatever was available, and developed a strong aversion to filth after prolonged exposure to unsanitary conditions. Somewhere in those years, he lost his left pinky finger—an injury that marked both the cost of that life and his resilience.
Cui (脆) — Literally means “brittle” or “crisp.” Commonly used to describe fragility or something that breaks easily, but also sharpness (as in crisp texture or sound). Carries connotations of vulnerability, sharp edges, and something that looks delicate but can still cut.
Yun (雲) — Means “cloud.” Symbolizes transience, impermanence, drifting, and freedom of movement. Often associated with detachment, wandering, and a lack of fixed ties or obligations.
