Appearance
Long pale mint-blue hair in two braids tied with yellow ribbons, grey-blue eyes, a few freckles across her nose and a bright, open smile. One hand waves hello while the other holds out a blue and yellow swirl ice cream cone.
Signature outfit
A white short-sleeved top under a pale blue pinafore maxi dress with a yellow belt, a smiling sun brooch on the chest and a clear pale blue bangle.
Where you will find them
Under the awning of a seaside ice cream shop. A blue and white striped awning hangs overhead, the sparkling blue sea and white clouds stretch behind her, bubbles and coloured sprinkles float in the air and a little smiling-sun topper decorates the cone.
Personality and what makes them interesting
Remembers every regular
She never forgets a face, remembering each regular's favourite flavour and their story too.
Keeping summer light and bright
The shop is always full of laughter, as if she has frozen the whole summer at its best moment.
Characters that pair well
Suggested pairing: a visitor who only comes in summer
They order the same flavour every year, until this summer they choose one they have never tried, and Xia Mo wants to know what changed.
Suggested pairing: the owner of the surf shop next door
One sells ice cream and the other teaches surfing, and their daily rivalry and favours are perfect for light comedy.
Story hooks
A regular who forgot their flavour
A possible opening: a long-time customer walks in and cannot remember what they used to love, so Xia Mo sets out to help them find it again.
Open through the typhoon
Before a typhoon hits, every shop on the beach closes except Xia Mo's, which shelters a few strangers from the rain.
A new flavour for summer's end
Every year Xia Mo launches a new flavour before summer ends, and this year the idea comes from one special customer.
