The roar of the crowd, the smell of the grease-paint, many of those fortunate enough to visit the opera on location have known the name "Xin Jin Meng" for years. As a primadonna, her vocal range has spanned across many luxurious performance halls; filling the Kalista with her glorious crescendos, and booming across the Orpheum guiding their many audiences across many operatic stories and tales.

Of course, across the years when your name spans the forefront of so many opera houses, you gain reputation, wealth and a love of the more luxurious. Xin, a sybarite in every sense of the word, was no exception to the rule, and was more than happy to allow herself the benefit of letting go a little. After all, it was a known stereotype that opera singers were known for being on the larger side, why not embrace it?

Many of the galleries celebrating her achievements often come with pictures of the operatic dragon in song. Not a single one debases her elegance and beauty, but looking from earlier years to the present day, it's easy to see the changes that have taken place. A previously modest and round belly had grown heavier and more ample. Bigger dresses and outfits were needed to carry her growing waistline. She carried her weight well, and as time progressed, she only had more to carry.

The same rang true for the rest of her when she truly started embracing a lavish lifestyle and ate more of what the world had to offer. Larger, thicker legs, a heavy bosom, arms that jiggled softly and comfortably when she lifted them to sing a significant note. It never affected her performance, and her audience only proceeded to love her more, as much as there was more of her to love.

Seeing her now in action is an honour enough, but many comment on how she dominates the stage with her presence. Every step a comfortable wobble. Every flourish shows off her impressive curves. Her size truly encapsulates her talent; both of which are enormous. That said, perhaps a size-up in her wardrobe is necessary...

Noone would imagine she'll stop anytime soon, both as a performer, and as an enjoyer of the finer things in life...

My assignment was  Xinjinmeng ! I could see from your favourites that you appear to prefer artwork to stories, so I used this as an excuse to further practice my art. I hope I've done your gorgeous Sona justice. I'll be honest, I had a lot of fun with this one, opera isn't a subject I often see done with this sort of thing. As an open request to  Xinjinmeng , if you'd like me to write a full story featuring Xin, please let me know too <3
(Thanks for teaching me that 'sybarite' is a word too, haha!)

This is my part of  Kikatsu 's secret santa for 2022! A huge thank you to you for all the organization you've done for this year and for the opportunity to take part again. You've done really well as usual and I appreciate it a lot!
