Ling spends her days working as a marine biologist at the laboratory located inside of Community Center; and her time off visiting her friend, Bree, at Hillside Brewery and Vineyard-- catching up over wine and pickled olives. Ling is married to a school teacher, Randy and lives in the old house near the park with him and her stepdaughter, Leah. The couple bond over their passion for serving society but have no children together. She dedicates her life in a study to improve coral reefs and developing ways to improve farm life with sea minerals. Ling enjoys knitting (beanies, scarf, cold weather accessories) and is the proud owner of a disturbing amount of “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 weren’t 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 the normal house, but very old. You can tell that it used to be grand, back in the day..

Dialogues

First meeting Collapse

"Have you given diving a try yet?"

"Oh, that machine at the pier? Yeah, it’s a piece of very old technology."

Generic Collapse

"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.."

"One day, I’d like to incorporate music into my work here. But we have to tackle pollution in our water first."

Spring Collapse

"An oil-drilling company has been looking into my lab’s work lately and asked me about the state of our coral reefs. I think it could be the same company that’s moving in this Summer."

"Oh, I’m sorry. Not this Summer. It’s earlier than that. I think it’s actually next week. Pufferfish, isn’t it?"

"The snow may have melted, but it’s still freezing around here!"

"Some kelp is very rare. Sometimes, I’ll put in a request to Theo and still can’t get any."

"I don’t plan to work tomorrow. Festivals give me a reason to take a break."

Summer Collapse

"You can do your own kelp extraction at home if you want to be economical."

"You just need to build an extractor."

"I brought an extra layer, just in case it gets windy. You never know."

"The Pet Day yesterday was a blast. Who taught Bonbon to dance like that? What a smart puppy."

"I should talk to Millie and see if I can help prepare the beach clean up festival. It's coming very soon, isn't it? The 27th?"

Fall Collapse

"You can break open treasure chests you find at sea."

"Who knows? They might have valuable items inside."

"It’s sad to see how much trash there is at sea, isn’t it? It’s unfortunate."

"I need to get my flu shot, with colder weather on the way. Better safe than sorry, I think."

"I purchased these sweatpants at White Flamingo. They’re very comfortable. I might start wearing them all the time!"

Winter Collapse

"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?"

"I’m happy with the progress we’ve made this year. I’m excited to see what the New Year brings to our island."
