[Full bio written by Ellen]
Tseng is not without morals, but she lives by her own set of them. She’s always been that way. As a child she was described as precocious, and that precociousness grew into craftiness, and a willingness to do whatever needed to be done. She certainly has those that she cares for, but her way of caring for them may not be what others might expect. A bit of a Robin Hood, she has no problem taking from those who have enough, and while she’d never take credit for it, she has a soft spot for those who have less than her, whether that be in the form of money or power. Tseng is most often chaotic neutral, but with a soft spot for her own people, like it or not.
Tseng Min grew up in the suburbs of Southern Montana, the odd child out more often than not. Her father owned the mine in the next town over, and the small mining town depended on it for the survival and livelihood of its residents. However those who worked in the mine fell on “the wrong side of the tracks” and Tseng was discouraged by both her mother and father from visiting the sooty town. But forbidden fruit often appears the most sweet, and Tseng had few friends amongst the children who inhabited the mansions around her own. Early on she learned to slip out of the house, and not only that, but to change her bearing, her posture, and even the way she spoke, to find herself friends amongst the children of the miners.
It didn’t take long for her parents to discover her little act, and that was the end of the first, and some of the only, real friendships Tseng had. That was when she began sneaking into the houses around her own. The fancy security systems provided a new challenge, and cat burglary seemed like the perfect activity for the bored thirteen year old. However one November night a recently purchased guard dog that she was unaware of ended her burglary career by alerting the entire neighborhood to her little hobby. Her parents were horrified, and Tseng found herself shipped off to boarding school for the rest of her school years.
It was at boarding school in Florida that Tseng perfected the art of fraud. Mean girls populated the campus, and Tseng quickly climbed to the top. It was a matter of a smile here, a flick of the wrist there, and a flash of her assets, either monetary or physical, and she had exactly what she wanted. Not only that, but she could pass from social group to social group as easily as she pleased, a social chameleon, manipulating people by changing her own personality. It was easy to avoid making friends, and Tseng tried her hardest not to. It made manipulating and scamming them much easier that way. She was lonely, but she kept herself busy to fill the ever growing hole.
Upon graduation no career really called Tseng’s name, so she chose to travel. An easy choice for a girl with no real ties. It was on the road that she discovered just how easy it was to run a scam. Laughably easy, as long as she kept moving. She didn’t need money, but she needed entertainment, and she had the skill, so the equation was easy to solve. China called with a siren song, a vacation destination of her childhood it was familiar and yet still so large it was foreign. The massive population provided adequate cover for her little escapades, as well as plenty of deserving beneficiaries for any exceptional extra funds she might find herself in possession of. Of course Tseng was careful to cultivate the right persona on the darker side of the streets. Heartless killer, ruthless goddess, a dragon in her own right, hoarding the treasure she won, as well as the heads of her enemies. She didn’t mind the killing, and she didn’t mind the stealing, and she perfected her art, as well as refining her own unique set of moral rules.
When she was caught, Tseng only laughed. And when Operation Ascent approached her, she welcomed them the way an old man welcomes death. With open arms.
_> Tseng prefers to go by “Minnie” a version of Min. It feels less personal to her, and she prefers not to use her real name for anything.
_> The first form Tseng shapeshifted into was a little girl of about eight years old. She took great joy in tormenting the scientists while inhabiting such an innocent form.
_> Tseng misses her parents, and regrets the fact that she lost contact with them before Operation Ascent faked her death.
_> Tseng doesn’t form relationships easily, but when she does, she is fiercely loyal, to the point of irrationality.
_> Tseng enjoys changing her appearance, and has three or four different “regular” faces she wears including her own. She uses these almost as a defense mechanism, each one allowing her to express a different facet of her personality.
_> When Tseng experiences extreme emotions she often experiences different shifts in appearance that she isn’t necessarily aware of until they are pointed out to her.
