CHARACTER INFO
• Character Name: Miss Huang. ( spoilers: Eustice Huang / There's an intentional air of mystery about this character in canon, and her name isn't even revealed until the very end of season 2. In-game, I'll be referring to her as "Miss Huang" as that's the way she would prefer to be perceived, and her real name won't come up unless in specific threads / unless I check first with the other mun to see if they're cool with spoilers! )
• Character Age: Thirteen or fourteen.
• Character Canon: Severance.
• Canon Point: Season 2, post-episode 10. ( spoilers: After she has boarded the shuttle that will take her to the Gunnel Eagan Empathy Center in Svalbard, a Norwegian chain of islands between Norway and the North Pole. They sent her away, y'all. )
• Character History: Here.
• Character Personality:
— Capable: At least, in the ways that matter enough for her to serve Lumon the way they need her to serve it. The first thing that someone may notice about Miss Huang is that she is calm. Perhaps in a way that reads as unnaturally so. This does make her a highly capable worker at her tasks, and also means she's able to handle situations that may seem out of depth for a child. She is organised, responsible, studious, disciplined, and driven. She is the exemplary modern Eagan child — functioning as a mini-adult more than an actual child. This is seen in her literal work experience: she worked as a crossing guard before becoming the deputy manager for a branch of a big corporation... which is very normal. Miss Huang doesn't bat an eye, doesn't fall to distractions like an average child might, or long for the things that someone her age should. She doesn't know any better — she's been brought up like a little machine made to do her job and do it well. This may also be noted in the fact that she plays the theremin, an instrument that is not only extremely difficult to maneuver, but one requiring immense patience and discipline. One that is surely not the average choice for a child pursuing fun, but rather a person to prove their resilience and restraint alike. She exists to serve a purpose, and she will do what it takes to achieve that.
— Dedicated: Like any productive Lumon employee should be, Miss Huang is dedicated. However, her sense of dedication goes even deeper than the average, considering the fact that she has been selected to pursue the Jame Eagan Wintertide Fellowship — an opportunity reserved for one young girl per year. That she has been chosen for this honour proves that she is the elite amongst her peers, a model example of Eagan values. This is notable in examples both subtle and glaring — from the way she never has a hair out of place or a wrinkle in her clothing, to the way she seems incapable of breaking the boundaries of her training and directions. If asked a question outside of the parameter she's been given, Miss Huang almost shuts down, simply staring or smiling uncannily. She will not act outside of what she's been told to do and what she knows to do, and often seems more like a robot than a human being. She even seems especially eccentric compared to most adult employees, because she is so young and is fresh out of the oven, so to speak — being subjected to the latest Eagan indoctrination.
— Innocent: Despite the above points, there is evidence that Miss Huang is in fact a young human girl and not the emotionless little robot she may seem on the surface. It's there in moments that might be easy to glimpse over, at first — small, confused quirks of the brow when faced with something she doesn't understand (and there is much she doesn't understand, given that she was born and raised in what is indisputably a cult with a very limited world-view). It's there in the unnerving way she seems to toe the line between "young child" and "mature adult" — wearing clips in her hair or wearing it in pigtails while simultaneously dressed in corporate attire. Then there is the fact that her most precious possession is a ring toss toy, an item she shows some flicker of genuine delight over, and that she exhibits a very childlike enthusiasm for playing games with the innies. There's the moment when she's excited for a camping excursion, to roast marshmallows on a fire, letting down her stoic demeanour in favour of a smile and calling the experience "pretty cool", and when she expresses a youthful disappointment when she isn't allowed to play her theremin for everyone after she's been practicing so hard on it. It's in these moments that one can really see that Miss Huang is just a little girl beneath everything else she has been shaped to be.
— Inexperienced: Despite how responsible and capable Miss Huang is with actually enforcing her job, there is also no denying the fact that she's very inexperienced with such things. Because she's guiding the innies, who are essentially mentally younger than her and largely far less inexperienced in real-world matters, it may be easy for them to see her as fully competent and knowledgeable. But glimpses of her not actually knowing what she's doing are there — she often asks her own superior to explain things that seem very simple, or makes mistakes. One example of this is when she's trying to check the blood pressure of an innie and wraps the cuff around his arm without rolling up his suit sleeve first, therefore being unable to get an accurate reading. It's clear evidence that Miss Huang has been placed in charge of a variety of things she has no idea how to handle, like a child playing grown-up.
— Narrow-minded: Given her upbringing and what sense of 'normalcy' she has as a result of that upbringing, Miss Huang has a very narrow world view. She has been groomed in a particular way and for a particular purpose, and as such, has little tolerance for anything that falls outside of it. This is shown in her no-nonsense mannerism, her deadpan way of reacting to jokes or light-hearted quips, but especially in her treatment of innies. One example of this is when she tells her superior that she doesn't think the innies should be allowed to have a funeral for their lost friend, as it "makes them feel like people." To her, it's a perfectly typical perception; she's grown up with the severance procedure being normalised, but it directly reflects just how insular Lumon is deep down — and Miss Huang very much is a product of Lumon. Something to note is that this mindset does begin to shift and open the more she's around the innies, so if she's accepted into the game, I plan to keep exploring that degree of growth.
— Brainwashed: Branching off of the above, Miss Huang has been groomed since a very young age to be a part of the cult-like mentality behind Lumon / its beliefs / its founder, Kier Eagan. There's a borderline religious quality to the doctrine that Miss Huang has been prepped to follow. This is shown in nearly every aspect of her character and history — the fact she works at Lumon Industries in a managerial position as a child, the fact she attends the Myrtle Eagan School For Girls, and the fact that she is pursuing the Jame Eagan Wintertide Fellowship through her school. All of it is connected to the Eagan Family. All of it is a part of their immense pull and power throughout the world. One significant example of this — perhaps the most significant one — is when one of the workers on her floor resigns, and an upset Miss Huang personally apologises to him, saying that she "should have facilitated better". In no way is his resignment truly a mark of shortcomings and failure at her role, yet she fully believes that her position warrants taking blame. This exhibits the hold that Lumon has on its employees, especially their youngest ones, who are more brainwashed than the older ones, who have no memory of any life before this, who can't see how ludicrous it all is. (That said, she's clearly emotionally affected by losing one of her workers, so even though she can't quite see that she's been "brainwashed", she does feel that something isn't right. Again, if accepted into the game, this is something I plan to keep digging into with her!)
