Appearance
Long light flaxen hair in low twin tails tied with burgundy scrunchies, amber eyes, a beauty mark under her left eye and a quiet, gentle smile. She holds a small tart in both hands, topped with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and a piece of chocolate.
Signature outfit
A burgundy long-sleeved dress with a large white lace collar and a burgundy bow at the neck, a row of gold buttons at the waist and white ruffles peeking out at the cuffs and hem.
Where you will find them
A cream background printed with lace doily patterns, with chocolate doughnuts, pink-frosted doughnuts, heart cookies and tiny sparkles floating around her. There is no specific location, more like a signboard illustration for a dessert shop.
Personality and what makes them interesting
Caring without words
She uses carefully made desserts to soothe and look after other people's feelings. Much of what she might say, her desserts say for her.
A warm harbour in the city
Amid the noise of city life, her dessert shop is a warm refuge that draws in all kinds of people carrying something on their minds.
Characters that pair well
Suggested pairing: an office worker who stays late
They rush in just before closing every night, and Wen Li gradually learns what they crave when they are exhausted.
Suggested pairing: two friends after a misunderstanding
Each comes in separately, and Wen Li quietly makes them matching flavours. Clearing up misunderstandings is exactly what the official profile says she is good at.
Story hooks
A cake nobody collects
A possible opening: a pre-ordered birthday cake is still waiting at closing time, so Wen Li decides to deliver it to the address on the order.
The customer who only orders water
Someone sits in the shop every afternoon ordering nothing but plain water, and Wen Li starts leaving a small treat beside the glass.
A taste she cannot recreate
An elderly customer longs for a dessert from memory but cannot remember its name, and Wen Li keeps trying to bring it back.
