Hi!! Thank you so much for reading my fic and your kind words, they mean so much to me! To answer your question, I’m Chinese so I really wanted to create a character with the same heritage as me — I rarely see Chinese characters being represented in the media. Liya has a special place in my heart, so I really wanted to do her justice! <3 Also, I’m planning to continue their story somehow, bc I can’t let go LOLOLOL so I hope you’ll stick around for that
