[b]Gender:[/b] [i]Raised eyebrow[/i] "Heh... you're kidding, right? I mean... I thought it'd be pretty obvious." [b]Age:[/b] "I-I'm 17. I would ask you about how old you are but... I'm not sure I wanna know." [b]Ethnicity:[/b] "Oh! I'm part Korean and part Japanese. It's an uh, interesting blend." [b]Hair:[/b] [i]Picks up a strand, eyeing it.[/i] "I've never really paid much attention to my hair but... I'm going to go ahead and assume you're blind. Uh, it's about back-length. Maybe a bit to my upper back? It, uh, is a very dark brown color that looks black unless you see it in direct light. Like... [b]very[/b] direct light." [b]Eyes:[/b] "Black. Yeah, there's no other way to really put it. I have very dark brown eyes that look black. A bit, uh, 'creepy' from what other people have told me... the douchebags." [b]Height:[/b] "Um... 5'4. D-don't laugh, okay? I know it's short but..." [b]Build:[/b] "Uh, pretty average I'd say. I mean, people say that I have a dancer's body with strong and long legs with very light muscle that most wouldn't notice. I think they're being nice to me but, I [b]was[/b] a dancer when I was younger so... it's possible." [b]Other Features:[/b] "Oh! Um, do you mean fashion, scars, tattoos? Um, I have been told that I'm pretty fashionable. I don't really like paying $100 on a shirt or something like that. I mean, I know that as a 'rich girl', you would expect me to be all about the latest trends or whatever. Personally, I have never enjoyed spending money on stuff like that. Actually, I find most of my clothing at thrift shops or at costume shops and such. On the rare occasion, I may even [b]make[/b] my own clothes. I know, right?" [i]Mimes a mind being blown, giggling afterwards.[/i] "But, no... seriously. I never enjoyed spending money on clothes so I typically wear handmade stuff or 'vintage' clothing. And hot topic? My best friend. Hair? I've never really cared much. I've been forced to get it cut and such and it is naturally wavy and curly. But, I usually keep it either down or in pig tails. The odd pony tail, now and then." "And uh, other stuff? Ahem, don't tell my parents, okay? They'll probably kill me themselves. BUT, I have a few tattoos. One on my lower back which is of the korean words for: Love & Passion. T-then, I have another one on my left foot of the tri-force from the Legend of Zelda series... I'm a bit of a geek, heh. Regardless of what you may think, I have a high pain tolerance... being the daughter of rich people... you kinda have to be able to handle pain. BUT, I also have a few piercings! My tongue, for one. And another one in my nose as well as a couple in each ear. Other than that, I have no scars from anything special. The odd fight here or there but I heal pretty quickly and don't scar easily." [b]Background:[/b] "I-It's nothing really interesting. There's no super tragic backstory or anything amazing like that. My life has been... something. I was born into money. Born in Korea, it was all I'd known for a good 5 years of my life before we moved to the states. Beverly Hills, to be specific. I was practically guaranteed to be judged no matter what. People, uh, tend to judge... a lot. My parents were big names in the business world and medical field. My mom was a surgeon, brilliant in her field and I really found myself looking up to her as a kid. She was, not to be cliche or anything... my hero. And my dad? Well, he fit the criteria of a big name business owner. 'Granger Tech', he called it. I know, really creative. My dad isn't one for creativity or... really ANYTHING that doesn't involve business or technology or... logic." "I also have an older sister, Mari. I-I never really see her much. She's mostly glued to my father's side, after all, he plans on signing the company over to her one day and he's grooming her to be his own mini-clone. The two of us never really got along considering she mostly nagged me and tried to make me just like her... We didn't talk much. My life was... classic. I went to the all-girls private school where I was forced to wear this horrible uniform. All the other girls were just... the same. Blonde with the odd brunette thrown in there. Apparently blonde hair was 'in' and most girls had their hair dyed with their 'daddy's money'. Personally, I liked to think I had enough of a personality to not have to dye my hair to fit in." "I suffered through [b]years[/b] of that before I was FINALLY allowed to choose my new school as a birthday present. My first one that wasn't some designer hand bag or new car-okay, the car was pretty awesome. I managed to get it traded in for a motorcycle. Heh, my dad almost had a cow. It was hilarious. But, regardless, I was allowed to choose which school I would go to. And I immediately knew. Sure, it was an Ivy League school considering there was no question about that. But, I was able to go to a school with girls AND boys. Trust me, it meant a lot more than you'd think. I know, nothing special. But, it wasn't really meant to be, I think. In fact, I think it works as is, no?" [b]Personality:[/b] "Personality? Me? Well, I think I may be a bit biased in this. But, I'll try to remain as neutral as possible. I-I've been called many things in my life: Princess, Rich, Spoiled, Narcissistic, Selfish, Close-Minded, Stereotypical, etc. But, I think my first friend back in Middle School summed me up pretty well. I'm... me." "I'm not the nerdy girl. In fact, I'm delightfully average at science and social studies. Although, I'm good at math and dates... I'm good with numbers. I'm good with technology. Heh, as a prank during my last year of middle school, I hacked into my school's computer system and, uh, made a few 'vocal' girls' grades drop down a bit... low... Probably one of the most badass things I've ever done... apart from the tattoos and piercings of course. There's a story behind those, by the way. But, like said, I may not be the most book-smart of girls. But, I'm intelligent in my own ways. Some would say a genius in technology and pretty awesome with numbers." "I've been told that I can come across as pretty socially awkward as first. I'm the stereotypical artsy kid in the corner drawing or sketching when I should be taking notes. But, should you get to know me, you'll find out that I am pretty good at social interaction. I'm pretty decent with people, I just... sometimes have a difficult time distinguishing who's really my friend and who's just trying to get on my good side because of my last name. Uh... trust me. It's happened a few times in my life." "But, most importantly about me... I'm loyal. I don't have many friends. Most of the ones I do have are online and live far away. So, the odds of me talking to them in real life and going to an art gallery or even just going out for a coffee are... are pretty slim to none. But, it's with these few friends that I do have that reveal me to be rather... caring. Once I make a true friend... I never let them go. I hold on tight and I can have... issues moving on from them. Maybe it's a flaw or maybe it's just a character quirk. Hmm, guess we'll find out, yeah?" [b]Art & Literature:[/b] "I would say I'm an artist at heart. I love drawing and I love painting. Heh, you can usually always find me drawing something with my face buried in a sketchbook or just a book in general. I also love reading. Everything from stories of dragons and knights, a brave knight rescuing a princess in a far away castle! Or, maybe a story of a king who loses his wife and only has his daughter, the both of them going on adventures together to keep their land safe! Oh, I once read this story about this group of people in random sectors of the Earth who are connected in the mind. It was this thrilling tale of adventure, romance, suspense, and... ahem. Hehe, sorry. As if you can't tell, I love art and I love reading. They were kind of my saviors during my younger years. I mean, I enjoyed dancing and everything and I still do it every once in a while but... dancing can't compare to my books and art." [b]Quirks:[/b] 1. "I hate being judged simply due to being Asian. Honestly, if I hear ONE. MORE. JOKE. ABOUT. SEEING. LESS. I. WILL. SCREAM. Or ruin someone's life. And I can do that without 'daddy's money'." 2. "Um... hehe, I tend to slip into Korean whenever I'm frustrated or angry. And I have to speak it whenever I'm at home, it's a requirement. Uh, dad's orders. He can be pretty... stern." 3. "Something embarrassing... I watch kids TV shows and movies. Sure, it might not be the WEIRDEST thing but it still gets me weird looks. What? A girl can't know all the words to EVERY song from Moana? Heh, people can be so close-minded sometimes." 4. "I love technology and social media! It's actually how I met all of my friends. It's a way to... connect to other people with the same interests as me... what more could I need? I have every type of social media possible... except SnapChat. Regardless of my, to be honest, quite amazing skill with computers, I have no idea how it works." 5. "I have been told I can be quite... bubbly. Optimistic, some would say. I just tend to... look on the bright side. Heh, if you ask me... there should be a bit more happiness and positivity in the world. And if I'm going to be doing SOMETHING during my time in this world, I may as well try to leave something awesome behind." 6. "Um, I've been called naive before. Personally, I prefer the term optimistic and trusting. But, I wouldn't say naive. I want to look on the bright side of things, sure. But, I'm not really the forgiving type. If someone is bad, they're bad. Plain and simple. I can understand that." 7. "I love food. Like, a lot. However, I don't eat meat. It honestly makes me sick. I blame it on seeing a live chicken being brutally beheaded when I was younger at a Korean Restaurant. Yeah, I didn't eat meat afterwards." 8. "I hate Country Music... a lot... it is the bane of my existence. I mean, I try to be open-minded and love most things but... Country Music? Seriously? It's just... not for me." [b]Strengths:[/b] -Is great with technology -Is great with numbers -Knows martial arts... it's a thing in her family. -Is very knowledgeable about... a lot. Watches a lot of documentaries and loves reading so... she knows a LOT of random stuff. -Loves telling knock-knock jokes and making puns, sure they're really bad jokes but if the awkwardness can make people laugh then... awesome. [b]Weakness:[/b] -She is definitely OCD. Not sure if she is on Sheldon Cooper levels but, she's pretty up there. Everything in her room may seem a bit messy and displaced but she has everything carefully organized in a way that makes sense to her. She has everything perfectly put together and can almost instantly tell if something of hers has been moved. And if someone else's belongings or items are disorganized? She'll run over and begin organizing it. After all... it's a good opener for conversation. - She is not the strongest person, pretty weak actually. It's not a biggie but... it's a thing. - She is allergic to blueberries. - Sometimes she doesn't get social cues. Sure, she's awkwardly likeable in that... lost puppy kind of way but... she's not really the best when it comes to things like personal space, social norms, or ANYTHING revolving romance. Romance? Pssh, don't even bring it up. -Can be somewhat gullible in that it's possible to take advantage of her should you be kind to her and show 'genuine' interest in her. She seems to never learn... [b]Likes:[/b] -Artwork -Literature -Clothes -Food (All... except meat.) -Kids Movies -Dancing -Music [b]Dislikes:[/b] -Being proven wrong (Usually towards people.) -Bullies -Her father and sister. [b]Fears:[/b] Aguaphobia: (Fear of water. She nearly drowned when she was a child during a trip to the beach. So, she nearly gets paralyzed with fear whenever she was around large bodies of water. And yes, pools count.) Coulrophobia: (Fear of clowns. As a child, all the boys and girls in her science class dressed up like clowns and messed with her at her own house while the rest of her family were at some fancy photoshoot. She was at home sick at the time so she didn't go. It put a fear into her that hasn't dissolved with time.) She is otherwise rather fearless. [b]High School[/b] I think you get a pretty good idea of how her years of schooling went, yeah? [b]Other stuff:[/b] Is good with a bow and arrow Speed Reading Foreign Languages - Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and a little bit of French. Pretty great dancer Awesome artist Great hacker and great with computers and tech Is a very fast runner Knows martial arts, sort of a family tradition Has a black panther motorcycle named Ivy.
