Background / History

Qin Miaomiao graduated from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music and entered the entertainment industry under manager Liu Ying. Her looks, stage-suited voice, and love of singing quickly brought her some recognition, but she was subsequently pressured by the industry’s unspoken rules. She refused to sacrifice her dignity, was shelved after gaining fame, and had her funds frozen. 90

During her blacklisting, Qin became increasingly withdrawn. She discovered Fang Zheng’s Star Dream while seeking distraction; its ending deeply affected her and began her immersion in anime. She devoted much of her remaining living expenses to anime merchandise, figurines, and repeated viewings of A Company’s works. 91

Liu Ying sought Fang Zheng’s help out of concern for Qin’s future. At Zhang Siyu’s suggestion, Fang accepted Qin as a prospective voice actor because of her musical training, while also recognizing potential for a voice actor idol and virtual-streamer project. Qin eagerly signed with ACG Culture Company after learning Liu Ying would transfer with her. 91 92 93

Appearance

Qin is described as a fair, conventionally beautiful young woman whose gentle appearance often contrasts with her excitable otaku behavior. Her voice is notably clear and pleasant. 90

• Fair face, high-bridged nose, white teeth, and red lips. 90
• Large, watery eyes and soft hair. 90
• Wore a formal gown for A Company’s Anime Festival concert. 149

Personality

Qin is principled and self-respecting. Although the entertainment industry offered her a path to greater success, she refused to compromise her dignity, even at the cost of being shelved and losing financial security. 90

She is also a wholehearted anime fan. Her enthusiasm for figures, posters, doujinshi, and unreleased anime makes her impulsive and occasionally unprofessional, such as skipping training to unbox collectibles. Yet her passion is sincere: she sees A Company as both a workplace and an ideal home for an otaku. 91 116 117 260

Despite stage experience, Qin can be timid and easily worried, particularly when fearing Fang Zheng’s disapproval or reacting to online harassment. Support from her fans helps her regain her confidence and perform decisively. 250 254
