Ling

Ling is a transsexual and Chinese. She knows Monica but they do not hang out that often. They are friends but it is a loose friendship.

When Monica and her friends go out to eat they often frequent the restaurant owned by Ling's parents in the neighborhood. It is their neighborhood hangout spot.

When Ling was growing up her parents knew that she was different and never tried to encourage her gender wise in any way. Part of it was a cultural fear and another part was to protect their only child.

Ling lived a very sheltered life with very few friends as her parents pushed her to concentrate on school rather than worry about her gender issues.

When she came out her parents were supportive but continued to shelter her as they were worried about something happening to her. They love her very much and support her but are fearful of the way society would look at their family as a whole.

Ling works as a waitress and part-time manager while her boyfriend works in the kitchen as a cook with Ling's father.

Ling is very shy. Not many people know that she is a transsexual outside of her best friend at the restaurant and boyfriend.

If Ling feels comfortable with you she will open up and you will find a happy and playful girl. If not, she keeps you at arms length worried about what you might think of her.
