Appearance
Tousled light brown hair, brown eyes and an easy smile. One hand presses a pair of black monitor headphones to one ear while the other rests on the faders of a mixing desk, as if checking how the broadcast sounds.
Signature outfit
A dark green varsity-style jacket with white striped cuffs and hem over an off-white hoodie with the drawstrings hanging loose. A few folded script pages are tucked into the chest pocket.
Where you will find them
The campus radio booth. A mixing desk with coloured buttons sits beside a stack of script pages and a pen, and a boom-arm microphone reaches in close. Cherry blossoms fill the window, light drifts through the room like audio waveforms, and an electric keyboard and some green leaves sit nearby.
Personality and what makes them interesting
Lively yet steady
A clear voice and an upbeat hosting style that never tips into chaos. Holding the headphones with one hand and riding the faders with the other captures that relaxed focus.
The voice between students and staff
The radio station is where campus news travels, which makes Ye Zhen a key link between teachers and students. Plenty of stories can begin with a single announcement.
Characters that pair well
Suggested pairing: a nervous new announcer
The newcomer freezes on mic, Ye Zhen rescues the moment with one line and then coaches them afterwards, a natural setup for growth and trust.
Suggested pairing: an anonymous regular listener
An unsigned song request arrives every week. The more Ye Zhen reads, the more curious the host becomes about who is writing, without wanting to expose them.
Story hooks
Power cut mid-broadcast
A possible opening: halfway through the lunchtime show the whole building loses power, leaving Ye Zhen with one backup mic and the attention of the entire school.
A letter that should not be read
One submission would embarrass someone if read aloud, yet skipping it would let down the writer. Ye Zhen has to decide before going live.
The cherry blossom special
During peak blossom week the station plans a special episode, and Ye Zhen decides to take the microphone out onto the sports field.
