Christina Chan Hau-man is a one-time wild child and part-time model. She's also the holder of a first-class honours degree in philosophy - giving the lie to many people's perception that Hong Kong's youth are self-absorbed and don't care about others.
That she is also highly attractive means certain sections of the city's media can't get enough of her.
This in turn has helped make the 22-year-old student the second most recognised face in Hong Kong's fledgling protest movement, after 'Long Hair' Leung Kwok-hung.
Her rise to prominence began before the Olympic torch relay's Hong Kong leg, when she spoke out on her page on social networking site Facebook. 'A little trouble-making for the OLYMPICS torch relay - Let's p*** on the torch of shame,' she wrote.
She wanted a little publicity for her movement. Instead she became the movement, with salacious pictures of her private life splashed across the internet and newspapers.
A young woman who could talk eloquently about Tibet was pictured enjoying a night out, sharing the odd kiss with a girlfriend and spending time with her Australian musician boyfriend.
There was also a picture of her in a tiny bikini, revealing a tattoo of the freaky rabbit creature from the cult 2001 movie Donnie Darko. Chan said police officers interviewing her yesterday asked to see the tattoo.
