David Li
The mid-20s junior concierge at The Crown Tower was born into a traditionalist Chinese family in Emerald City. He excelled in school and eventually attended Emerald City University’s hospitality management program and worked part-time at the Crown Tower. David’s family was disappointed in his choice of career but even more concerned when he came out as gay to them. This all but ended his communication with his parents, two older siblings, and his aunt, uncle, and cousins, all of whom only see David at family functions and on holidays, when everyone still asks him if he’s going to marry “that girl he lives with.”
“That girl” is Karen Carnelli, David’s roommate and best friend from college, who works as a graphic designer for Starbase Coffee. She and David spend a lot of evenings and weekends together watching movies, shopping, and occasionally enjoying Emerald City’s nightlife. Karen is always trying to fix David up on dates and relies on his judgment about the guys who try and date her.
In his work at the hotel, David hears about pretty much everything that goes on there. He also knows a lot about Emerald City, since it’s his job to find places for guests to dine, sight-see, or obtain whatever it is they are looking for.
