Description
Jing Xialian is a Chinese-American character distinguished by indigo-blue hair, pink eyes, and raspberry-pink eyeshadow. Her attire features an Asian-style fan securing her hair, a cropped pink qipao-style top, loose teal pants adorned with yellow circular embellishments, brown leather racing gloves, a red utility sash around her waist, and brown combat boots with large pink flower accessories.
Her parents, Chinese immigrants, run Jing’s Laundry. During her upbringing, her father taught her automotive mechanics, racing skills, and martial arts. Initially working as an assistant mechanic for a racing team, she encountered systemic sexism; team members, especially the driver David, mocked her aspirations to become a professional racer, insisting women belonged only in support roles or unrelated fields like circuses.
Frustrated by these limitations, she secretly practiced driving the team’s cars at night. During one session, she nearly collided with Appare Sorano on the racetrack, escalating tensions with her employers. After confronting the team owner about her capabilities, she challenged David to a race, stipulating her dismissal upon loss. The owner provided her with an outdated, malfunctioning vehicle designated "Number 0" instead of a competitive car. With technical help from Al Lyon and strategic advice from Appare, she optimized the car’s performance. During the race, she employed drafting techniques to conserve fuel and tire durability, maintained close pursuit of David, and expertly recovered control after he intentionally rammed her. Her performance impressed the team owner, who subsequently permitted her to compete in the Trans-America Wild Race using the Number 0 car.
As the sole female participant in the Trans-America Wild Race—a cross-country event from Los Angeles to New York—she drove a modified vehicle initially equipped with a 6,200cc engine capable of 95 mph. Her racing achievements included fourth place in the Lancaster pre-race and second place overall in the main event. Throughout the competition, she demonstrated loyalty to fellow racers Appare, Kosame, Hototo, Al Lyon, and Sofia Taylor, collaborating with them during challenges like thwarting sabotage attempts by outlaws. Her martial arts training occasionally aided the group in confrontations.
