I'm Ariel, with my Chinese name being 王馨玥 (pinyin: Wang Xinyue, pronunciation: [wɑ̌ŋ ɕín ɥ̂ø] in mandarin Chinese or [vũ̩³³ ɕiŋ⁵³ ɦyøʔ⁵⁵] in Shanghainese). Xin means “fragrance,” like the sweet scent of blooming flowers. Yue refers to a celestial pearl, a rare gem symbolizing mystery and beauty. That's why my name is Xinyue~ hhh

I was born in Shanghai, the most dreamlike wonderful city in China. I am native in both Shanghainese and Mandarin Chinese; my English is quite decent but remember that it's still a foreign language for me QwQ Besides these, I've also learned un petit peu Français.

Currently, I'm just a math and CS undergrad trying to SURVIVE, with three adorable cats to keep me company. Meow~ Besides my kittens and majors, I also have a general interest in chemistry～

If you have any questions, suggestions, or just want to chat, feel free to reach out! I'd love to hear from you. (●ˇ∀ˇ●)
