Her contractor adoptive father has minimal contact with her, and disapproves that she is sacrificing a childhood for dance. Her birth mother OD'ed and is long dead.

Jing Yu, or Soel regarded by most of his classmates, is an extremely extroverted guy. Very social, very athletic, and overall just an giant ball of energy. A very cute ball of energy. Despite the cruel remarks of seniors deeming his behavior as immature, Soel rarely pays it any mind. Afterall, he got much more important things to focus on, like how to get a high paying job as soon as possible so that he could move out. Just as much as he is a goofball, he is also a serious student surprisingly. Within his class, he usually don't stray from the top 5 places academically.

Despite his sugar high energy, Soel surprisingly does not have a sweet tooth, if anything he prefers things more on the tangy and tart side. He doesn't have a preference to music as long as it sounds good. Except heavy metal. Anything but heavy metal. He also had a good reputation amongst the elderly in the neighborhood across from his apartment.

[Backstory]
From a family of Chinese descent, Jing Yu was an energetic child growing up in the bustling city of Shanghai. Both of his parents were doctors whom were madly in love. So much that, it was a wonder why they brung up a child in the first place when nothing could stand between them.

Despite the neglect Jing Yu suffered as a child, it didn't really affect his childhood. He was still a ball of energy everywhere he went. He still was an intelligent student who knew his way around people. Furthermore, to fill the empty space his elders left him since he was a child, Jing Yu's socialness made up for it. He had plenty of friends before he transferred to his current school outside of China.

Regardless of Jing Yu's opposition, the two love birds transferred him to his new school anyways, before tossing him some money and an apartment whom he lives alone in. Thankfully, It didn't take long for Jing Yu to settle in, even though he was transferred in the middle of the school year.

He still manages to get a part time job at a cafe, be a part of the track team, part of student council, and still be on the top of his grades, all the while settling into the new environment he was forced upon. Jing Yu can't say he is happy, but he can say he is content with where he is at the moment. That's it.

Mephisto is the demon of the dead. When Jing Yu just transferred to where he is now, many people couldn't pronounce his name properly. So many that, Jing Yu just got tired of correcting them, and just created an alias. Mephisto was the name suggested by one of his friends, whom was in their chunni phase, all the way in Shanghai. Without knowing better, Jing Yu, now became Mephesto to most people. By the time Jing Yu knew the true meaning of his alias, it was already too late, too many people knew him as Mephisto..
