Everyday Kei

Finally did art of my MC, Jade Ying. Her Chinese name is 嬴玉 (Yíng Yù). She is descendant of the first emperor, QinShiHuang.

She is the oldest child of her family and has a young twin brother, Jasper.

She has two familiars. A green pit viper named XiaoQing and an albino suzhen krait named XiaoBai. Both she raised from their hatching. They are highly venomous but Jade uses their venom in potions and remedies.

At Hogwarts they join her. But since snakes are not part of the acceptable pets, she keeps them transfigured as a hairpin that she always wears. (Ominis hears whispers when in her vicinity but doesn’t know why…yet)

Because she raised her little smallest and have bonded with them. She can hear parseltongue but cannot understand it. But she understands the intent of it.

Her uniform is a mix of traditional Chinese garments and the Hogwarts uniform. She wears a mamianqun skirt, an ao pipa sleeve top, and the elegant vest with the emerald silk robe print.

2 hours late but finally finished!!! Jade and Jasper’s birthday are Mid Autumn Moon Festival babies and it is(was) their birthday! 🎑🎂🎑

More development of Jade’s trials as well as her future this week. We get a peek into what happens after Hogwarts. ✨

~~~~

Day 15 “Scars”

Jade has had only two scars in her life. The first is the mark on her face from her curse as a child. The second in adulthood when her enemy attempts to forcibly remove her children from inside her. Only her Ancient Magic saved her life.

Day 16 “MCxMC”

Jasper isn’t exacly an MC but he is Jade’s twin brother. Can you guess which sibling is older?

What has Jasper done for Jade to reprimand him?

Day 17 “Goblins”

Jade enjoyed speaking to Lodgok, learning from his experiences. Little did she know that this would be their last conversation.

Day 18 “Gringotts”

Jade is no stranger being hurt and seeing others be hurt. But the brutality of Ranrok brought back a lot of unwanted memories from her childhood.

Day 19 “Poltergeist”

Peeves will forever be the bane of Sebastian’s life. The taunting call of “Naughty naughty. You’ll get caught-y~” plague his nightmares.

Day 20: “MCxCanon”

Jade navigated a relationship that includes her, Ominis, and Sebastian. It’s not always easy but they work off each others’ strengths. Is their relationship endgame? We’ll see.

Day 21 “Past/Future”

The days of Hogwarts will pass and Jade will grow older. Her choices will shape her and leave its mark. I wonder who fathers her children?

(Also the debut of her children! ❤️)

Day 8 “Vivarium”

Jade loved all her vivariums. Each has its own uses and its beasts. But she loved the swamp vivarium for its tranquility and peace.

Day 9: “Poppy Sweeting”

Poppy and Jade are a #SlytherPuff duo! They compliment each other nicely and work off of each others’ strengths.

Day 10: “Ruins”

Sometimes it’s the Ruins where you have a chance at peace. Not much wonder into where broken stone lies. A sanctuary for a weary soul needing rest.

Day 11: “Astronomy”

Ominis has trouble with Astronomy Class. So Jade helps him by allowing him to see the see the stars.

(10 points if you can guess the three constellations she’s showing him✨)

Day 12 “Amit Thakkar”

The heavens and the stars shine in his eyes. It is the cosmos that he yearns for. And it’s much safer than the adventures of the MC. ✨

Day 13 “Three Broomsticks”

The Shadow Trio relaxing with a butterbeer. Jade’s first experience was ruined by Rookwood so the boys took her back. It was still too sweet to her liking but she enjoyed time with the boys.

Day 14 “Centaur”

Jade had a difficult time looking at Dorran originally. Not having used to seeing a male body full on display. Dorran is, of course, confused why this little human is frazzled.

Day 1: “Ollivanders”

Jade didn’t have a good time finding her wand. The first couple exploded in her face and she was shook. It took forever for her finally get her wand

Day 2: “Feldcroft”

When Jade went with Sebastian she was able to help with Anne’s pain through traditional Chinese healing. Jade’s no stranger to pain herself so she how relieve some of it.

Day 3: “Sebastian Sallow”

(Not my best work so might redo in the future.) Sebastian loves all books (bc he’s a NERD). And I mean ALL books, not just ones about Dark Arts.

Day 4: “Arena”

Jade comes across the Dark Arts Arena for the first time and is conflicted. Should she enter? Or stay on the path of healing.

Day 5: “Divination”

Jade had a hard time grasping Divination taught at Hogwarts. She was used to traditional divination of her home country using a turtle shell and coins.

Day 6: “Natsai Onai”

Jade admires Natty’s courage and want to always do the right thing. She thinks Natty’s confidence to stay true to herself is commendable.

Day 7: “Honeydukes”

#Hogtober Day 7: “Honeydukes”

Jade never got to properly visit Honeydukes on her first trip to Hogsmeade. So Ominis and Sebastian decided to take her. She loved all the bright colors and animated sweets. Unfortunately many of the treats were too sweet to her liking.

First post for #MCtober2024 by @lamieboo ❤️

Here’s “Jade” Yu Ying/嬴玉

Here she’s 5th year and she’s a Slytherin 🐍🐍🐍

Her favorite subject is Potions, because it’s most like traditional Chinese medicine brewing. It makes sense to her and is familiar.

Least favorite subject is Charms and Divination. Charms because the British magic works differently than what she’s used to. Divination because it’s also hard for her to rationalize.

Her favorite teacher is Professor Howin. Professor Howin was actually a childhood friend of Jade’s grandmother and she finds comfort in a familiar adult presence. She also soothes her homesickness.

Jade doesn’t participate in any school clubs but her hobbies are healing and acupuncture.

Jade always wanted to be a healer, especially since she was cursed at a young age and she needs medication to keep it dormant. The curse was also the reason for her late manifestation of magic. But she was taught healing since she was little and actually enjoys it.

I think I may have a problem. I’ve been utterly obsessed with Miniverse’ potion kits!

I have SEVEN! (Skelegrow, Felix Felicis, Amortentia, Polyjuice Potion, Wolfsbane, Dragon’s Blood, and Armadillo Bile)

But they look so good with my little Sebastian and Ominis acrylic stands ❤️ Both by the amazingly talented @tamayula-hl ❤️❤️❤️

中秋節快樂🎑 Happy Mid Autumn Moon Festival! 🥮

It’s also Jade’s and (my friend, @xchibi_jo’s MC) Luna’s birthday! It’s Jasper’s birthday too but he’s not important 😂

God I miss you so much. You’ve always been there at every step. How am I supposed to take the next one without you. How can I go on knowing that I’ll never see your smile again. Feel your hand in mine. Hear your laugh. Have you kiss me.

How do I keep going without hearing that you love me? This wasn’t supposed to happen. We were supposed to grow old together. I was never supposed to live a life after you.

I’m angry. I’m so goddamn angry that you were taken from us. That I’ll never get the answers I need. That you never said goodbye.

I hope you left knowing how loved you are. That I love you so damn much. That you knew how much you meant to me.

So much of me was made of you. I’ve lost so much of me with you. Who am I now that you’re gone.

You were loving. Selfless. Kind. You were too good for this world. I never deserved you but I’m incredibly lucky to have had you. I’m lucky that you loved me.

The infamous ignorant scene. Sebastian broke Jade’s trust that day by calling her the only thing she will not tolerate.

Jade’s mother always calls her an “ignorant child.” So Jade absolutely hates this word. She’s shared this with Sebastian before but I guess he just wanted to hurt her without thinking of the consequences.

She’ll still help him, she understands how important a twin can be, but she realizes she is only an unclaimed debt to him.

Some more Jasper doodles.

Jasper is a huge flirt but doesn’t actually like relationships. But he loves boasting about pulling older women.

Finally drawing Jade’s twin, Jasper! They’re fraternal twins but Jade is older. Jasper Ying (YingJue/嬴玨) doesn’t go to Hogwarts, but stays in China when Jade leaves. He has a nonchalant and relaxed personality outwardly, but there’s more that meets the eye.

Some lore for Jade. The beauty mark under her left eye isn’t actually a beauty mark, it’s the remainder of magical scarring from an “accident” as a child.

It was only through years of experimental healing and potions that reduced it to a single dot.

She did not have a very fun childhood.

Unfortunately she was not left without some permanent side effects. Due to this incident her magic did not manifest the time it was supposed to, but instead 4 years later. She also gets chronic incapacitating headaches that she needs consistent medication.
