BÀ TIÊN

Meet Tien, the fierce and feisty fairy with a heart of gold!
With the power to make her curse words come true, she uses her magic soup ladle as a wand and MSG as her fairy dust to craft powerful spells. Besides being a fairy and saving people, her part-time job is a noodle soup seller (bún chửi).

An Anti-hero is a hero who defies the traditional definition of a usual hero. They may possess both good and bad qualities, but the positives should outweigh the negatives.
As the protagonist is Vietnamese, it is crucial to incorporate Vietnamese well-known and strong-expressed characteristics, so that the audience can realize the Vietnam-ish of the character. To achieve this, the character's traits should be drawn from our daily life experiences, making them relatable to everyone.
Therefore, for my character, I chose “Bún Chửi” as my reference, since it is a unique and trendy dish that can represent Vietnamese culture. Moreover, the customer service of “Bún Chửi” is a controversial topic, which has both positives and negatives, fitting right to the definition of “Anti-hero”.
