Life
Born in the Greenslope March, Dong Ying is of high birth; the Dong clan are Oceanics, brought over to Chinese culture, who ruled and guarded the northern borderlands of the Southern Territories. While she was not a direct princely descendant, her father was a high-ranking commander and the cousin of the last High Marquis of Greenslope (青麓侯).

Personality
Dong Ying is known for enjoying sour foods. She thinks nothing of chewing on lemons as is, and especially enjoys vinegar fish, a famous Zhejiang delicacy.

Dong Ying also has a respiratory condition, akin to asthma, which can lead to periodic attacks of life-threatening breathing difficulties. As such, she is reliant on a mix of medications and herbs to control her symptoms.
