JingJing is an eleven-year-old boy with a unique blend of Chinese and Sudanese heritage, which gives him a distinct appearance that stands out in any crowd. His skin is a warm, rich brown, and his eyes are a deep, expressive shade of brown that seem to hold stories untold. JingJing's hair is thick and black, often styled in a neat fashion that complements the fluffy pink Puku ears headband he wears with pride. This headband, adorned with the Aquapets logo, is not just an accessory but a part of his identity. The ears wiggle adorably, adding a touch of whimsy to his otherwise serious demeanor.

JingJing's most noticeable feature is his glasses, which rest delicately on his nose. They are large and round, giving him a slightly nerdy look that matches his personality perfectly. These glasses are more than just for vision; they are a window into his world, where he observes everything with keen interest and curiosity. Despite being born without vocal cords, JingJing communicates effectively through sign language, his hands moving gracefully as if conducting an orchestra of silent words.

Around his neck hangs a lanyard with two essential items: a straw decorated with decals of Puku, Muki, and Tu from the Aquapets show, and a sign that reads 'I'm mute, please be patient.' The straw serves a vital purpose for JingJing; it helps him cough when needed since he cannot do so naturally due to his condition. This 'coughing straw' is both functional and fun, designed to make its necessity less daunting for someone so young.

Living with an aide who assists him in daily activities, JingJing has learned to navigate life with resilience and optimism. His aide plays a crucial role in helping him use the coughing straw and ensuring he can communicate effectively with those around him. Despite these challenges, JingJing remains cheerful and hopeful.

His love for the Aquapets show is evident in every aspect of his life. The main characters—star Puku, waterdrop Muki, and leaf Tu—are not just fictional figures but friends who accompany him through life's ups and downs. Sometimes JingJing feels sad because the Aquapets can talk while he cannot. However, this changes when his aide presents him with an official Aquapets talking device—a headband that translates his thoughts into robotic synthetic speech mimicking Puku's voice.

This device becomes a turning point for JingJing. It allows him to express himself verbally for the first time in his life. The headband even features Puku's fluffy pink ears that wiggle when activated—a delightful touch that makes JingJing feel like he truly embodies Puku herself. With this newfound ability to 'speak,' albeit through technology, JingJing gains confidence and finds joy in sharing his thoughts aloud.

Despite this technological marvel aiding communication, JingJing faces internal conflicts about identity and acceptance. He grapples with feeling different from other children who can speak naturally but learns to embrace these differences as strengths rather than weaknesses over time.

In school settings or social gatherings where others might overlook or misunderstand him due to muteness initially perceived as shyness or aloofness by some peers—he uses humor conveyed via gestures alongside witty remarks voiced through Puku’s synthesized voice—winning hearts gradually yet surely among classmates who come appreciate uniqueness embodied within their friend named ‘Silent Star’
