Huang, Lingyin

凰鈴音

Lingyin, the Chinese Representative of the Infinite Stratos Academy and pilot of the Shen Long, is Ichika's second childhood friend. She was best friends with Ichika during their Junior High School days and developed a crush on him after he stood up for her when several kids bullied her because of her nationality. Among all the cast members, she is perhaps the most open to physical interaction with him (though this is mostly platonic). During her stay in Japan, Ichika would visit her family's restaurant, as his sister was out at work most of the time and Lingyin is a natural cook. Before she left, however, she made a promise to him that he would marry her if she could cook well for him. Ichika, however, misinterpreted that as a promise of free food.
She joined the academy shortly after Cecilia became another member of his harem, and among the cast, she is known for her flat chest, which she takes heavy offense to.
