“Good, better, best. Never let it rest. 'Til your good is better and your better is best.”
– s t. j e r o m e
Bora is an Asian girl of average height, being five foot five and weighing a healthy 123. 4 pounds. She is of Korean descent, both of her parents having been born in South Korea. The teenager prefers to keep her hair long and of a darker shade, though she will lighten her hair time to time with a dash of dyed red, and is overly concerned with her personal hygiene. Before she goes to breakfast or goes to bed, Bora performs a regiment skin care ritual on her face in order to keep it clear and soft and places protective hair products in her strands to keep it silky and shiny. When Bora was fifteen, she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) which affects her body weight and menstrual cycle. As such, Bora can only have a small amount of sugar a day and tends to obsess over the amount of calories she intakes.
When it comes to her physical appearance, Bora treats her fashion choices with care and dons only designer brand clothes. She prefers to wear lace and cotton when it comes to her clothes and she has a predilection for dresses. Her personal style could be described as a sophisticated preppy fashion style with her trendy, simple dresses or high-waisted skirts. Bora likes jewel or peter pan necklines over any other neckline and downright refuses to wear a sweetheart neckline. Bora is careful to balance her expensive clothes with only a light amount of jewelry, usually simple earrings - her favorite are her pearl earrings - and a silver necklace with one ring on her finger. Her nails are always perfectly manicured with French tips and her makeup is more natural and light than heavy or gaudy. Bora's hair is almost always down, with the occasional bun or braid here and there. The only time she will be caught dead with a ponytail is if she is working out or sleeping. Bora loves silk and as such will only wear silk pajamas and undergarments.

The Cat
"The cat is a bit refined in it’s tastes, indulging within itself. It is not one to crave socialization at a constant rate, but rather those with this patronus need their alone time in order to maintain a proper state of happiness. They can be a bit materialistic at times, and like to feel pampered, but this is how they stay happy. If they do not have this, they can become easily tempermental, and they can have trouble not pushing this annoyance onto others."

Sycamore || Unicorn Hair || Unyielding || 11"
The sycamore makes a questing wand, eager for new experience and losing brilliance if engaged in mundane activities. It is a quirk of these handsome wands that they may combust if allowed to become ‘bored,’ and many witches and wizards, settling down into middle age, are disconcerted to find their trusty wand bursting into flame in their hand as they ask it, one more time, to fetch their slippers. As may be deduced, the sycamore’s ideal owner is curious, vital and adventurous, and when paired with such an owner, it demonstrates a capacity to learn and adapt that earns it a rightful place among the world's most highly-prized wand woods.
Unicorn hair generally produces the most consistent magic, and is least subject to fluctuations and blockages. Wands with unicorn cores are generally the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts. They are the most faithful of all wands, and usually remain strongly attached to their first owner, irrespective of whether he or she was an accomplished witch or wizard.
Minor disadvantages of unicorn hair are that they do not make the most powerful wands (although the wand wood may compensate) and that they are prone to melancholy if seriously mishandled, meaning that the hair may 'die' and need replacing.

Many claim they hate Bora, even though they don’t know her. When asked why, they provide the typical answers: arrogant, spoiled, shallow, stupid. Some of these traits are important pieces of Bora’s personality, but a great deal of them aren’t.
There’s no point in lying and saying that Bora is not shallow – when it comes to material items, Bora is as shallow as they come. She has an inner need for things to look visually perfect: pristine clothes, silky hair, organized pencils. Money helps her buy items that make her world visually perfect: Gucci, Prada, Versace. Bora wants to look, and feel, her best and so she has a tendency to see others that don’t look their best as a) insecure, b) lazy, or c) clueless – but never ugly. Furthermore, it is not much of a stretch to say that Bora is spoiled. At a certain point, she stopped asking her parents for something and just got it with her credit card (“muggles truly are resourceful and creative”). Worse still, Bora is the type of girl that when she wants something, she will get it and she is thoughtless in that she never thinks of how her ambitious and indulging will affect her later on or others. As such, people see her as careless and childish rather than the sophisticated, careful woman she emulates to be. Her playful nature and emotional outbursts furthers others' opinion of her as immature and juvenile. Adding to her shallow and superficial image, Bora is hot-tempered and, when she believes she is wronged, will hold lifelong grudges, even if it is over something completely petty.
However, Bora is not without her virtues. She possesses a light character, playful and with a odd and soft sense of humor that is oddly endearing to others. When she begins something, Bora throws her whole self into it, showing an admirable dedication to her endeavors. And though people oft question her placement in Warren, her unwavering intelligence and devotion to the truth is clearly the reason for her appointment. She is very hard-working and friendly, with an ambitious arm reaching for anything she can get her hands on - though most of her goals involve her ability with transfiguration. Bora is friendly and always tries to include everybody; she also retains a refreshing, liberal open mind that leads her to fighting for what she believes is right in the world. Plus, Bora is rather smart and studious, enjoying learning about the world and sees schooling as fun rather than a prison - though she hates homework and tests with a passion.
When it comes to herself, Bora is a rather private person and prefers to keep her thoughts unknown. She doesn’t like being an open book, it makes her feel rather exposed, and so she tends to keep her feelings to herself. However, Bora has no problem expressing her confidence. She understands she is pretty and is secure in her appearance and intelligence – she doesn’t take other people’s words to heart and though she will react negatively to insults, it won’t affect her in the long run. Overall, Bora is an optimistic girl that, in some ways exactly as how people think, but in others completely different.

Bora Song was the third and youngest child born to Jay and Ji-yeon Song. While she is completely of Korean descent, she has never permanently lived in Korea, but instead was born in Sheffield, England. When her father was young, the Song family migrated to England in hopes that they could find a better political standing there rather than the infamous, yet uninfluential, prominence that the Song family held in Korea. As such, Jay Song never really knew Korea all that well, though he knew the customs and language like the back of his hand. At Hogwarts, Jay and his sister, Jae-eun, were sorted into Slytherin and made a name for themselves with their ambitions. However, upon graduation, Jay went to England in order to reconnect with his heritage. In Korea, Jay met the small farm girl Ji-yeon, a herbologist with a passion for nature and an adamant pacifist. He was immediately smitten and, within a year, they were married and living in England. Jay's marriage to a small, unknown girl shocked the family and fellow friends. Jay helped Ji-yeon start up a small business in Sheffield while he began to rise in ranks at the Ministry of Magic.
After a couple years of marriage, the couple had their first son, Geun. After Geun came along Sora, and then finally Bora came to be. Bora grew up being doted on by her father, but she preferred the silent company of her mother as they both tended to the garden. Sora spent most of her time following around Geun who was being primmed for his position to becoming the next head of the Song family. Growing up, her father was slightly prejudiced, though it didn't always show. It was the little things, here ant here, and when it was discovered that Geun was a squib, Bora's father was absolutely horrified. He locked himself in his office for days until, finally having enough of his temper tantrum, Ji-yeon knocked the door down and dragged him out to apologize to his son. Afterwards, the whole family was lectured - even Jay Song - on acceptance and open-mindedness. Bora took the lesson to heart, treating Geun the same, though in the beginning she only initiatedly treated him as such because she wanted her mother's praise as a five year old is wont to do, Bora understood her actions later on in life. However, Sora, only three years younger than her brother, understood the silent tension between her brother and father and so she became distant from him, just as her father became distant to him. After his lack of magic was discovered, Geun was no longer being given lessons by his father to become the head of house or how to run a business or be a man, but instead his father avoided him like the plague. Sora took his place, rather, and Jay Song began to teach Sora all he could about magic.
It was with relief when Sora turned to have full access to magic and went to Hogwarts, being sorted into Slytherin much like her father was. Not only that, but Sora excelled in school, mastering her wand with ease. Meanwhile, with nothing more to do with his life, Geun attended a muggle school and began to learn herbology in order to help out his mother at the shop. During those years, the family kept themselves busy, pretending as if the tension wasn't mounting; as such, Geun took care of Bora a lot and Bora found herself relying on Geun often. However, Bora was afraid that she would turn out like Geun, a squib, and so she would sneak into her father's office whenever she could and snoop in his books in order to learn more about magic.
When Bora got her letter from Hogwarts, she was ecstatic and Sora was excited just as much for her. While the family was surprised that she was sorted into Hufflepuff (and it became a frequent area of ribbing throughout the years), everything went well for Bora during the first couple years at Hogwarts.
In her second year, Bora first kissed a girl and discovered that she quite liked it. However, she never told anyone about the kiss or her sexuality, afraid that it would reach her father and he would shun her much like he shunned her brother. Bora resolved that, no matter what, she would marry a man and never have relations with a girl in her entire life because she was afraid of her family's judgement.
In her fourth year, during the summer, Bora came home and was snooping in her father's office to find a missing book, when she came across a letter with rather violent descriptions towards squibs, muggleborns, and muggles. Outraged that her father would participate in such bigotry, Bora confronted him and he begged her not to tell her mother in fear that she would divorce him. Bora felt betrayed for Geun, because of his status as a squib. She never told anyone, especially Geun, in order to protect her family, but her relationship thereafter became strained with her father and she refused to talk to him alone, though she pretended as if everything was fine when others were around. Perhaps in hopes of reuniting with his daughter, Jay Song burned the letter, effectively ending his association with pureblood elitists, though he still holds their beliefs. Nevertheless, Bora was obstinate in giving the cold shoulder to her father.
During her fifth year, her father ran for Minister of Magic and lost the election. Her sister, Sora, got a job at the ministry as a lowly assistant, but she was determined to make her way up, and her brother began to secretly see a muggle girl behind his father's back, though his mother knew about it.

The Song Family is mainly known for their inherited money and Jay Song’s domination in politics. It has been speculated that Jay will be running for president – though Jay has turned this down. They live a very public life due to Jay’s frequent promotion of his and his family’s image as well as his sister being known in politics as well. They live in a sweet ass
estate in Sheffield.
45||Jay Song – Father:Jay Song is from the elite Song Clan that immigrated to England from South Korea in order to gain more prominence. Though he is very prejudice that does not mean he is inhumane. He does not support radicals like Voldemort or Grindelwald, but prefers a leniency in regards to politics. Despite loving his kids very much, he is distant from them and tends to not give them the time of day because he is obsessed with leaving a legacy. Jay and his eldest son, Geun, have an estranged relationship due to Geun being a squib and his involvement in the muggle world. Jay Song might also have a bit of an anger problem.
Ji-yeon was born in South Korea and lived their mainly. While she was a witch, she was, in fact, a halfblood. When Jay married her, it caused a stir in the family because of her blood status. In order to hide the dirtying of their blood status, the Song family claimed she was, in fact, pureblood but from a small pureblood family. For a long time, she was not accepted in the family. Opposite of her husband, Ji-yeon supports the more liberal side of politics.
Geun is the first son of Ji-yeon and Jay. He was born a squib, without magic, and as such has not had an easy life in regards to his family. Many of his grandparents insult him behind his back and his father is not discreet in showing his disappointment. However, his mother has always been by his side, cheering him on and even threatening to leave his father in order to protect him. He attended a muggle school and has recently graduated. He had plans to go to culinary school, however he has been meeting obstacles in the form of his father.
Ever since her brother was discovered to be a squib, Sora has become the heir to the family name. She's extremely driven and ambitious, plus she spends most of her time working. Bora has predicted that Sora will not get married until she's well past 35 because of her workaholic lifestyle. Sora recently has found work at the Ministry.

Ramyeon is a female cat, often mistaken as a chimera, though, in reality, Ramyeon is much more likely to be a calico. Ramyeon was once named Eopsin, but after gobbling up Bora’s ramyeon while she was in the bathroom, the cat has been renamed. Ramyeon loves catnip and noodles of any sorts and will often eat the noodles straight from a person’s bowl when they’re right there. However, the oddest thing about Ramyeon is her kleptomaniac tendencies. At night, Ramyeon goes on the prowl in the neighborhood or dorms and steals odd items that she finds, bringing them back and storing them under Bora’s bed. She has stolen a sponge before as well as underwear, clothing of all sorts, a stuffed animal in first year, and even the comforter off of a sleeping student (though she abandoned it shortly after because of its weight). Ramyeon doesn’t like strangers touching her, but is rather affectionate towards Bora…unless Bora isn’t sharing her noodles, in which Ramyeon will take to pushing things over and biting. Before closing any doors, Bora often has to check on the top of the opened door as Ramyeon likes to perch there.

Bora's favorite memory is of eating ice cream with her brother and sister, late at night, while playing a game of chess. It was before Geun was revealed to be a squib and Sora became obsessed with her inheritance. They stayed up late despite their parents having told them not to, sitting by the fire with quilts wrapped around them and straight-up cartons of ice cream.

Bora's least favorite memory is of a particularly nasty fight with her father. It was around her fifth year, during the Winter Holidays, when Bora was home. She had gotten up to get a glass of milk when she saw her father stumbling, drunk. She had ignored him, but in his stupor, he had confronted her about her avoidance and shunning towards him. From there on, it escalated until Bora ran into the bathroom, locked the door and cried her eyes out. She ended up falling asleep in the bathtub.
