'''Michelle H. Lin''' is an American actress and martial artist of Taiwanese descent, who played [[Lin]] in the [[Assassin's Creed (film)|''Assassin's Creed'' movie]].<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
Born and raised in Massachusetts, Lin studied at Andover High School and Tufts University, where she took an Introduction to Acting course. She also trained in traditional Chinese martial arts at Yang's Martial Arts Association or YMAA. In 2013, Lin began a full-time training program at the YMAA Retreat Center in California, studying under renowned teacher and author, Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming.<ref name="IMDB">[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm8310457/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm IMDb | Michelle Lin's biography]</ref><ref name="KungFuMagazine">[http://www.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=1333 Kung Fu Magazine | Michelle Lin on ''Assassin's Creed'' & The Tiger Claw Elite Championships]</ref><br />
<br />
At the Retreat Center, Lin trains in meditation, Qigong, Taijiquan, and Shaolin Kung Fu, while also learning how to become a martial arts instructor. In June of 2015, she was invited to audition for the role of a modern-day Assassin in ''Assassin's Creed''; the casting director's assistant had found a video of Lin's performance at the Tiger Claw Elite Championships and showed it to [[Justin Kurzel]], who liked Lin's style.<ref name="KungFuMagazine"/><br />
<br />
Lin initially hesitated, in part due to the training program she was part of, but sent in her audition when Dr. Yang gave his blessing. Once she was officially cast, Lin researched how characters in the [[Assassin's Creed (series)|''Assassin's Creed'' franchise]] moved and also watched ''[[Assassin's Creed: Embers]]'' to get a better understanding of her character's ancestor, [[Shao Jun]].<ref name="KungFuMagazine"/><br />
