Appearance
Long deep purple curls tied into two low ponytails over her chest with small gold hair clips, amber eyes, darker skin and a smile, one hand on her hip and the other lifting the leg of her trousers in a confident pose.
Signature outfit
A loose fuchsia shirt slipping off one shoulder with a yellow tape measure draped around her neck, deep purple high-waisted ultra-wide-leg trousers with a gold chain belt, a purple pincushion wristband and gold bangles, and chunky white shoes.
Where you will find them
The fashion club's studio. Behind her stand a dress form in a fuchsia gown, design sketches pinned to the wall and a gilded full-length mirror reflecting her from behind; thread spools, pincushions, scissors and patterns are scattered on the floor as pink petals and gold confetti drift down.
Personality and what makes them interesting
Designing with size and body diversity
She boldly challenges conventional beauty standards, working different sizes and body differences into her designs.
Encouraging everyone to be themselves
Her designs often spark heated debate and set off a campus-wide conversation about what beauty means.
Characters that pair well
Suggested pairing: a modelling club president who insists on standard sizes
The two clubs must co-host a show and clash fiercely over who gets to walk the runway.
Suggested pairing: a classmate who never dares to wear bright colours
While taking their measurements, Qiu Ning first asks which side of themselves they most want people to see.
Story hooks
A show with no size chart
A possible opening: Qiu Ning announces the club's annual show will have no size chart, and every piece will be made to measure for whoever signs up.
Hesitating at the mirror
A classmate stands in front of the full-length mirror for a long time, and Qiu Ning doesn't rush them, just hands over the tape measure.
The piece that was taken down
The school exhibition removes one of Qiu Ning's designs because it is not pretty enough.
