Hay Lin is the fifth member of W.I.T.C.H., a group of teenage girls who make up the Guardians; the people who guard Kandrakar, the center of the universe, from evil. Hay Lin is Chinese.
Hay Lin [age 13] was born on June 4, thus bearing the sign of the Gemini, and was raised in the town of Heatherfield. She is always cheerful and full of energy, and very optimistic.
She is an extremely creative person who loves to draw, paint, and sketch. It’s no surprise that her favorite subject in school is art. She can be considered a slight comic-alien nerd at heart because of her love to collect comics and alien collectables. She enjoys just about anything related to science fiction, air, or art. She is also not superb at Physical Education, as shown when she herself once says she shall need to get into shape after running.
Her family owns a Chinese restaurant called the Silver Dragon (Golden Dragon in the TV Show) where she often works at to help her family out. She has a habit of writing people's names, dates, numbers and anything else that might come in handy on the back of her hand or arm so she won’t forget anything important during one of her creative brainstorms. She has a huge crush on the new boy in town, Eric Lyndon, who likes her just as much.

[edit] Powers
Air Guardians have the ability to manipulate air currents. Since sound waves travel through air, the Air Guardian can also hear sounds from a great distance. They can also touch an object and get a complete history of where it has been, recognizing the types of air. The Air Guardian also has a greater power of empathic precognition than the other Guardians. Hay Lin used to get dreams prior to Elyon's coronation in which she was Elyon and was sitting on a throne, the same which Phobos later used to drain Elyon's powers. The Air Guardian also has the power of Invisibility.
[edit] Elemental Abilities
Hay Lin has power over air. She can create and manipulate the aspects of wind and the air. Hay Lin can levitate objects using her elemental power, and, in the comic book, she is the only member of the group who can fly but can temporarily give others the ability to fly. In the TV show, all the Guardians can fly; still, Hay Lin is the one who can fly the highest and quickest among them.
[edit] Advanced Elemental Abilities
Hay Lin can recall peoples memories by listening to their favorite music, and also learn the history of an object by the sound it makes. She can also get the history of an object by touching it and closing her eyes. When she does this, she is feeling the atmospheres the object was in and how it was touched. In the TV Show, Hay Lin is the only one who can become invisible and make other things invisible. In the comics, all the girls can become invisible, and Will was actually the first one to find out how. In the TV Show, Hay Lin can hear sounds, noises and voices from great distances, explaining this is because sound vibrations travel through air. She is also able to disperse poisonous gas.
[edit] Character history
[edit] Before W.I.T.C.H.
Before becoming a Guardian, Hay Lin would work at her family's restaurant and went to school. She would often goof around in her classes and try to turn every project she got into something creative, even if her teachers disagreed with it. One time she was assigned the task of making a simple kite for a school project and she decided to make an overly fancy Chinese dragon kite and spent all night working on it. Her teacher failed her before she even had a chance to test fly it because her teacher assumed it would not fly on its own; that it was far too heavy to ever lift off the ground. Luckily for Hay Lin, her connection to the element of Air (even though she didn't know it) was established long before she became a Guardian, and her kite turned out to be the only one in the class that managed to fly.
It is slightly ironic that she is the Guardian of Air. While the show and comics use the Classical Elements, (Air, Water, Earth and Fire), Hay Lin is a person of Chinese culture, and Air is not one of the five Chinese Elements. Instead they are Earth, Fire, Water, Wood and Metal (gold).
[edit] Characteristics
Hay Lin attempts to see the positive in everything and often acts as a peacemaker if other members of the Group disagree. She is 13 years old and has a slim, petite figure.
She is also likely to leap in to any situation without thinking of the physical risk. Hay Lin mentioned once while recalling her first encounter with Eric that until she met Eric, she though boys were just a silly waste of time.
