Appearance
Face Claim: Sun Yinghao
Anbai is the tallest (so far) of their siblings, clocking in at a whopping... 5'8" (173 cm). It's a rather average height, but they're rather discouraged when there are some freshman taller than they are. They weigh 170 lbs (77 kg). They are naturally pretty pale, though they tan rather easily and quickly, usually not without a wicked sunburn first, much to their chagrin. Their eyes are a pretty dark brown, though sometimes Anbai plays around with colored contacts, and so their eyes have ranged from the regular brown, to light blue, to even red and yellow (though the latter tend to not be on work days). They tend to keep their hair a form of blonde, although sometimes they will change it up a bit with a light or dark brown. Their hair ranges from about shoulder length to waist length. Anbai's frame is also actually rather lithe. In January of 2019, they got a tattoo. They're still very interested in more tattoos, but waiting until they can decide what they want. They also have three piercings in each ear, though it used to be a lot more, they let a lot of their "teenage rebel piercings" close up, and they almost never wear earrings anymore. They have a few unfortunate scars from bullying, but never anything that was extremely serious or needed more than a school nurse visit. Their voice is rather versatile, though naturally a bit of a raspy yet alto range pitch. When they feel like it, they will tend to raise their voice a bit higher in pitch to come off as more feminine.
Personality
Anbai is well versed in things that interest them, or pertain to them. They've also done intensive research on autism because of their little brother, and they're hoping soon they'll find just the thing to break down the barrier they've built over the years with Davey.
Their likes are video games, cooking, spending time with their family, animals, video game soundtracks, history (particularly Asian History, but until they get the master's degree, they've resigned to teach World History in general), art, writing (casual, don't expect any book from them anytime soon. though they are a tumblr-famous fanfic writer for Marvel's Steve/Tony fandom), bees, and finally, food.
Their dislikes are spiders, cleaning, getting up in the morning, people that have to make a scene about "they is not a singular thing," "not existing" according to some people.
Their aspiration was to get used to using Mx. in class, and knowing they had the support of at least one other teacher (Yunjin), and the principal's support, they finally started using it in the 2019-2020 school year. They were surprised the kids found it more cool than getting to use their first name.
Their secret is how initially afraid of their younger brother they were when Davey was first diagnosed with his illnesses. They didn't know how to deal with mental illness at the time, and they drew away, which Anbai acknowledges now as very unfair to Davey. They want to make it up to him, but they're not really sure how quite yet.

History
Anbai was born second after their twin sister, AnLan in Malaysia. They grew up relatively normally, though they often got bullied for being too effeminate. They just stuck close to their twin, and they always hoped she'd protect them (which she always did).
In middle school, there was news the family was moving to Washington. Anbai wasn't too phased, in fact, they hoped it would help to cease the bullying. As it turns out, though more liberal, Washington, or rather America in general, was also more strict on men being masculine. Wandering the lovely internet in eighth grade, they came across an unfamiliar word: genderfluid. They'd never heard of it before, but they felt like every word of the article was catered to them. Anbai started with telling Anlan about it, explaining it to her solely from off the website, before researching everything they could find on it. Over ten years later, they're relieved genderfluid and they/them pronouns have become more mainstream.
Their new pronouns and knowledge helped Anbai to grow more without this strange feeling holding them back. Though they were still bullied, it became much less severe by high school, and they were able to breathe a little freer. At the end of high school, there was the surprising news their mother was pregnant again. It was a high risk pregnancy, though everything seemed to be going well. Just past the twin's 17th birthday, their younger brother was born. Initially seeming fine, it was quickly realized their little brother did in fact suffer from multiple disorders. Anbai was a bit confused as to how to approach their younger sibling after that, so they ended up (mostly) unintentionally pulling away.
In college, they went to University of Washington and studied history after unexpectedly coming across a history course they loved their first semester. Eventually, they decided to double major in order to get teaching credentials as well as their history degree. They're still pretty awkward with Davey, but getting much, much better. They had been a substitute for a while before finally securing a position at the high school, teaching World History. They're trying to be a teacher that makes people like history, and so far, they're doing a pretty good job.
When their mom and Davey moved into a townhouse nearby, Anbai felt overwhelmed for a while at the idea of truly living on their own for the first time in their life. Thankfully, Anlan was and still is sticking by them, so it wasn't as overwhelming as it could have been. They've gotten used to it at this point, and actually quite enjoy living on their own.
