IN CHARACTER
NAME: Xi'an Coy Manh
JOURNAL: ~_karma_
PLAYED BY: Kathy Uyen
FANDOM: Marvel Comics
CANON POINT: Just after getting her robotic left leg.
CANON HISTORY: Here at this handy wiki is pretty much everything.
IN GAME HISTORY: Xi'an Coy Manh and her twin brother, Tran, were born in New York to a pair of South Vietnamese immigrants who made it to the US after the fall of Siagon. Xi'an was always the calmer twin, the better behaved, more serious one. She loved Tran dearly, though, even if he could be a bit of a pain. Xi'an did well in school, and she did her best to help Tran with homework, since he wasn't as driven.
When Xi'an was seventeen, she became a big sister. Twins Leong and Nga were definitely unplanned, but the family was happy and adjusted. Well, the family aside from Tran, anyway. He had no interest in sharing the new responsibilities the new twins brought with them and pulled away from Xi'an even more. Xi'an was happy to help out with the twins and devoted most of her free time to looking out for them.
Shortly after Leong and Nga's second birthday, Xi'an's parents were killed during an attempted bank robbery. One of the would-be robbers was killed shortly before the other two opened fire. The dead robber was Tran. Xi'an lost half her family in one day and essentially became a single parent with two two-year-olds. Thanks to help from her priest, Father Michel Bowen, Xi'an was able to finish her degree, albeit taking fewer credit hours at a time. She completed her degree when the twins were six.
Feeling the need to start over, Xi'an packed up the twins and moved to California. She found an apartment in Anaheim and got a job at a public library. Life settled down for a while. Until January two years ago when Xi'an lost her left leg when a drunk driver struck her car. She'd just dropped the twins off at school, so they were fine. Xi'an spent most of the next year in recovery and learning how to get around with crutches. Early this year, she acquired a prosthetic leg that she's mostly adjusted to.

AUDITION
The prosthetic leg does make life easier. Leong and Nga still think it's firmly in the "pretty cool" category, too, so I guess that's nice. I think part of it is that they think I'll have an easier time dating with it than with the crutches. They mean well. And it's nice to know they want me to be happy, and that they are hitting the age where they like thinking about other's needs now and then. I say "now and then" because they are still ten.
I really need to find another apartment. Something cheaper. But finding a cheap appartment for three that is also decent is not as easy as I wish it was.
