Previously the captain of [[Team Tiny Herb]].[^1] --- ## Personal details ### Early and personal life --- ### Appearance --- ### Personality #### Carries the World on his Shoulders > But Wang Jiexi shook his head. “No, that’s not what I meant. \[Captain Lin] doesn’t burden other people, but he burdens himself.”[^8] > This caused Fang Shiqian to pause. Burdening himself? > > The more he thought, the more he realized Wang Jiexi had a point. Lin Jie wasn’t skilled at Glory, but he was Tiny Herb’s captain and core player. Other people only saw the prestige of this position, but had no idea of the pressure he suffered as a result. To survive in the pro scene, you needed skill. And Lin Jie endured this pressure even though he lacked skill—wasn’t this burdening himself?[^9] --- #### Brutal Self-Assessment… and Self-Deprecation > “What,” Lin Jie laughed, “the weakest person in the team is me, isn’t it? Such a good character in my hands is only gathering dust! I, more than anyone else, hope to see it shine.”[^2] > Lin Jie’s skill level… wasn’t exceptional, and this was no secret. Lin Jie himself didn’t bother hiding it, and would often mock himself and apologize for dragging the team down.[^7] --- #### Polite & Respectful > “You’ve worked hard, Shiqian.” Tiny Herb’s Captain Lin Jie came in front of him now. Even though he was speaking to a rookie, his words were actually quite polite.[^3] > There was a reason, of course, why he was so polite to a rookie, and it was that Fang Shiqian, even as a rookie, had already surpassed them in skill.[^4] --- #### ~~Unhinged~~ Makes the unexpected choice of not telling Wang Jiexi he’s going to be Captain until *one hour* before the summer press conference announcing the same thing to the rest of the world > In one hour, they would be holding a press conference for the upcoming season, describing the adjustments made during the summer as well as their plans and goals for the new season. \[…] “I’ve already spoken with the club, and we all think that you are ready for greater responsibility,” said Lin Jie.[^5] --- ### Canon-adjacent personal details --- ## Glory | Known Account IDs | Class | Notes | | -------------------------------- | ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [[Vaccaria (Account)\|Vaccaria]] | [[Witch (Sub-class)\|Witch]] | Professional account; owned by [[Team Tiny Herb\|Tiny Herb]]; currently used by [[Wang Jiexi]].<br> | > Lin Jie’s skill level… wasn’t exceptional, and this was no secret.[^6] --- ### Glory Pro Alliance --- ## Interpersonal Relationships --- --- ## Miscellaneous details from other adaptations [^1]: Butterfly Blue, *For the Glory*, trans.
