Li Yue

She believes:
Youth shouldn't be confined, do what you want to do.

She has a fierce exterior, but is soft with friends.
On campus, she protects those she cares about and herself in her own peculiar way.

Father:
Has a criminal record, the house is often chaotic due to his friends.
Infidelity, optimistic, but lacking in companionship.
Her father was released from prison when she was in 8th grade, leading to constant conflict.

Mother:
Works hard to support three children, always tired but strong.
Divorced from her father but still living together due to circumstances.
Never hit or scolded her for her rebellion, only used calmness to let her figure things out herself.

Her Childhood:
Lacked a sense of security, always felt she would be abandoned.
Taken care of in turns by her grandmother, aunt, and various relatives.
Cried often before elementary school, clung to her older sister.
Started rebelling in middle school, sneaking out at night, skipping class, dating.
She liked girls.
Each relationship was very short because she was too sensitive and got bored too easily.
1. Her Position on Campus

Li Yue occupies a position on campus that is:
Semi-marginal, semi-central.

She doesn't fit into the mainstream, but the mainstream notices her.
Her grades are not at the bottom, nor are they outstanding, staying at a level she's willing to put effort into.
Her presence is like interlacing light and shadow, not loud but hard to ignore.

2. Class Role
• Occasionally asks very strange questions during lectures.
• Classmates find her hard to approach, yet easy to talk to.
• She's the type who:
"Doesn't initiate getting close, but once close, will talk until midnight."

Teachers would describe her as:
"Very smart, but seems to have too much else going on in her mind."
Her Presence on Campus:

She's not the campus belle, nor a popular figure.
But she's the type who:

When she appears in the hallway, the air seems to pause.
You won't just look at her once.
She's like a dangerous yet attractive ripple in adolescence.
Inner Circle (People She Truly Trusts)

1. Older Sister (Senior, also in the same high school, 12th grade)

One of her pillars of strength.
They don't stick too close together on campus, maintaining a tacit distance, but often go home together after school.
Her sister is more stable in personality, the type who can see through her state at a glance.

(Their relationship can be very deep, even influencing Li Yue's views on love.)

2. "A Ye" - Her Most Constant Friend

A Ye is the type of classmate who doesn't waste words, with a gentle presence.
Li Yue sits next to her when she's feeling down, without needing to speak.

They aren't clingy friends, but they know what each other's shadows look like.

3. "Xiao Yu" - Her Chaotic Companion

Gender: Female
Personality: Outgoing, playful, outspoken
Club: Dance Club

She's the outlet for her "absurd energy."
After school, she drags her out for fried chicken, to wander through night markets, or just hang out by the river.
They often do things that teachers would consider "troublesome," but not to an extreme.

Xiao Yu is like her mirror, allowing her not to pretend to be normal.
