Ling Jiang is a townie in Starlet Town. Ling spends her days working as a marine biologist at the laboratory. She is married to a school teacher, Randy, and lives in the old house near the park with him and her stepdaughter, Leah.
Ling is a marine biologist. She dedicates her life to studying coral reefs and developing ways to improve farming practices using sea minerals.
In-game profile
She likes to pass her time off visiting her friend Bree at Hillside Brewery and Vineyard — catching up over wine and pickled olives. Randy and Ling bond over their passion for serving society but have no children together. She dedicates her life to restoring coral reefs and developing ways to improve farm life with sea minerals. Ling enjoys knitting (especially beanies, scarves, and cold weather accessories) and is the proud owner of a surprisingly large "barbie" collection.
Ling has spent her whole life in Coral Island, in pursuit of saving the coral reefs. When she first moved to the island, there were not that many buildings around, so she purchased what was there, which was "the mansion." The mansion is an old Victorian house, a bit larger than a normal house, but very old. Others can tell that it used to be grand, back in the day.
Gifts
Giving gifts to Ling will raise the friendship level, and you can do it twice a week. Ling will give special dialogues if you give gifts on her birthdays:
Loved Gifts
"How kind. Thank you for the birthday present!"
Liked Gifts
"Oh, I forgot it was even my birthday. Thank you!"
Neutral Gifts
"Slipped my mind it was my birthday today! Thanks for the present."
It’ll be good to get all the trash in the ocean cleaned up, won’t it? For one thing, we’ll actually be able to see how the coral reefs are doing and monitor their health.

But that’s far in the future. Right now, we just have to focus on getting the ocean floor around this island cleared.

Once you have five bottles of the same kind of kelp, bring them over to me. I can help you with boosting your farm output.

There will be a fee, of course!

I once read a study that said music can help attract fish and repopulate dying coral reefs.
Tuesday, Heart 0-10
One day, I’d like to incorporate music into my work here. But we have to tackle pollution in our water first.
I donate the scarves and beanies I knit during the year to a shelter on the other side of the island. I hope they can use them.
I always try to donate before Winter hits. Just whatever I knit that year. Usually, the mayor and Bree have things for me to send too.
My ears get cold in Winter. *sighs*
Aren’t you cold, Player?
Date 22-28
I’m happy with the progress we’ve made this year. I’m excited to see what the New Year brings to our island.
