● Name:

Claire Choi

● Age:

Sixteen

● Gender:

Female

● Sexuality:

Heterosexual

● More In Depth Appearance:

Claire stands at 5 feet 6 inches and weighs in at 106 pounds. The first facial feature you’ll recognise of her are those highly distinctive hazel brown eyes that she possess. Her face is heart-shaped, her nose pert, and her lips a healthy shade of pink. In times of happiness, darling little dents of delight appears on her youthful visage, the dimples ever present whenever any form of smile or grin makes itself known. Her waist-length hair is a rich shade of raven black or a dark chocolate brown, depending her mood and the various lighting conditions. Her skin is fair and boasts a slight hint of golden undertones and is unblemished without any sign of physical scars.

Her figure is slim and slender with a modest amount of feminine curves that resembles that of a dancer's physique. When it comes to clothing, Claire can be seen in either printed t-shirts and pants or jeans and a variety of dresses, such as sun dresses in the warmer seasons or jackets and sweaters in winter.

● Passionate ● Forgetful ● Cheerful ● Stubborn ●

● Personality:

Claire is is a constant ball of energy and is always moving around involving herself in some activity. Her resourcefulness is a key factor in helping her achieve her goals and desires. Highly persistent, she does not give up once she has set her sights on something.She tries her best to stay calm and level-headed in crises in an attempt to harness the situation and turn the odds into her favour, but these attempts often fail as the impulsive side of her often takes over. A highly emotional individual, she is also known to be incredibly passionate about what she believes in. Armed with a fighting spirit, she’s not one to turn down a challenge and usually takes them up willingly and excitedly. She has always been known to have the heart of a lion.

She’s rarely afraid of anything, and bashful is not a word that is commonly associated with her. Not afraid of letting loose a string of insults and obscenities or terms and actions of affection, she thrives in the face of adversity and is known to face her fears head on instead of avoiding it. She has a great amount of natural tenacity and has no qualms fighting an uphill battle. Possessing a good set of morals and always believing that you had to stand up for your beliefs and ideals, she does not take too kindly when she comes across bullies bullying those weaker than them.She’ll mostly likely try to put them in their places or get hurt trying, another consequence of her impulsivity. Claire can be loud when she needs to be, and equally fierce when the occasion calls for it to stand up for herself or others she care about. She's also not one to mince or sugarcoat words, and just simply says what’s on her mind.

She is known to get possessive of the things she loves. Claire may act all tough, but she actually a real softie. She’s not one quick to anger. It’ll take quite a bit to anger her, but once she does, you’re in for it. The type to bear grudges, she does resort to cursing or kicking people when angry. Apart from being impulsive and emotionally-driven, Claire also had other flaws. She has a short attention span which results in her often getting distracted from something being more "shiny" than others, which at more times than she'll like to admit, cause her to lose focus from her current task at hand. She is also known to be very stubborn, bordering on the range of obstinate, and usually insists of doing things a certain way even though it might not be the best way to do so. She also tends to lose her temper easily.

● Biography:

Claire was born on a sunny summer morning to a very excitable brother and loving parents. The story of the couple who were very much in love meeting had always been a family favourite. Young Michael has been awaiting the birth of his younger sister ever since he saw the baby bump on his mother’s stomach. The thought of no longer being alone and having a younger sibling now excited him beyond words. It was thus needless to say that as Claire grew up, she and her brother grew to be very close to each other. The young girl would follow Michael everywhere, trailing him like his shadow, and the older boy loved it and he doted on his sister like nobody else. They did pretty much everything together, or at least whatever she could manage to do, despite the four year age gap that the two siblings shared.

Claire grew up to be a cheerful and inquisitive child who found great pleasure in learning new things. She was also pretty much fearless, and was even braver than her older brother at times. She was first introduced to photography by her father at the age of ten. He had been quite the shutterbug as well in his younger days, and when she asked him about his old camera she found in his old belongings, he reminisced along with her. She soon fell in love with photography as well, and can usually be soon with a camera close by, either on her person or in her bag somewhere. She would take a photo of anything she found interesting and upload them to social media and writing some brief words about them. In school, she was a decent student that did well in her studies. She was near the top of the class, but never boastful, instead she focused on helping others instead. Claire was well-liked by most, and had a fair share of friends.

Romance had always been something foreign to her. She'd never had a boyfriend, not because she didn't want to, but for some reason, very few guys approached her to ask her out. Perhaps, they assumed that such a lovable good looking girl had to be taken. So, it was pretty safe to say that her love life was pretty much non-existent. There was this time that a boy gave her a whole container of cookies, but she didn't exactly how to to respond to that, and simply gave him a smile. However, nothing else happened after that, and he simply took it as she was not interested in her, when simply she had no idea on what to do with relationship matters. She does observe more than a fair share of boys staring or looking at her, but she usually tries to avoid eye contact unless she has an intention of confronting them for something she is angry about. She took her dancing and cheerleading seriously, and put a good amount of serious effort into it and focused more time with her friends. When she's not in school, busy with her studies or hanging out with her friends, she can be seen in her parent's restaurant, the only eatery selling Korean and Chinese cuisine in town.

So, it didn't seem that Addison had a secret firework store tucked away somewhere after all. The plethora of fireworks he'd acquired today had simply been picked up from a shop somewhere in Korea Town. That did make sense after all. Of course she'd jump to wild conclusions instead of going through a logical sensible one first. This was why sometimes people called her silly. The fireworks were kept, stuffed back into the duffel bag as soon as they were revealed and he informed her that he would be back as soon as he settled something.

Violet gave him a nod and the guy was away. With the brother out of the picture, Violet turned her attention back to the sister, giving Blake a warm smile as her eyes lit up in delight as Blake asked her about her favourite brand of Soju. She gave her a big wide grin before she replied.

"I do love both of them, but my favourite of all time would have to be Chamisul!"

"You bought them both? In variety packs? How exciting!" The girl exclaimed in surprise. As Blake took out the bottles from the fridge, Violet took the peach Chamisul for herself before giving her a hug. After the obligatory thank you hug, she went over to retrieve a couple of Poktanju shot glasses. Now that they had the shot glasses, they could get ready the mixing game.

And there goes her plans of not drinking before the sun had set. But there was Soju here, and it was just simply too difficult for her to pass up on it without giving it a sip, and honestly who just sips Soju, or any form of alcoholic beverage for that matter? You one-shot it down like a true boss, and that was what she'd done based on what it was normally like the typical Korean drinking culture. Turning to face Blake, Violet asked. "What kind of drinks should we mix? Beer and the Chamisul, or Beer and the Chum Churum? Or do you have something else in mind?"

Just as she'd thought, no one had any plans for the party later on. She'd thought that maybe Kimberly might have something planned, but she'd just revealed that she'll wing it just like everyone else. It does make sense after all, considering plenty of the free-spirited folk they had here in the house. Violet's mouth opened slightly agape, mortified in response to Molly comment about Bradley meeting someone to give him the D tonight. She didn't know what she was shocked about. She knew him plenty well enough, but this still seemed to be a natural reaction for her.

She was still quite shy and reserved about explicit matters such as these and was still not used to them being brought up so casually despite having been in the US for several years now. Violet looked from Molly to Kim with an uncertain look before that was broken up by the appearance of the Min siblings. It seems like Addison had brought the party along with him. The black bag he carried contained a whole plethora of explosives, practically every kind she knew and more. She questioned him.

"Where in the world did you find all of these? Do you have a fireworks shop hidden somewhere I don't know of or something? You do, don't you?- Are these all the kinds there are or do you have even more?" Violet was more concerned about learning about the sudden whereabouts of these fireworks than to listen or even response to Kim mentioning about how he should save them for something else later.

Plenty of the group had already started drinking all forms of alcoholic drinks, but Violet had no desire to get started yet. She didn't tend to drink often, but when she did, her favourite type of alcoholic beverage was usually Soju. It has a distinctive taste that reminded her of home, and she loved its clean, slightly sweetish taste that isn't so aggressive on the taste buds like other drinks such as vodka.

Violet was spending her time wisely fully occupied binge-watching her latest favourite Korean drama, and she'd just started not too far into her third episode when the relative silence of the house was broken by the shrill scream, yell or what ever that noise was that penetrated the the walls of her room. She knew what that was. Nothing was safe from her. She groaned as she rolled about on her bed to-and-fro before falling off the bed, knowing full well that her binge-watching had come to an end. There was still an hour before the party- There was plenty of time to squeeze in at least half an episode? It was not like she was one that took long to get ready anyway. With her attention now diverted elsewhere, Violet decided to get changed, dressing herself for the impending party in a simple red and white sleeveless top that exposed her shoulders, completing her outfit with a pair of white shorts. Those who knew her knew that she was not one to put on plenty of make-up and usually opted for the minimal approach. She wore her long hair down her shoulders with a big red ribbon tied at the top of her head.

Leaving the safety of her room, Violet ventured into the main living area, where the sound grew louder as the culprits voices could now be more easily discerned than before. Missy and Sonny. Drinking already? She wasn't surprised. It seemed like Missy took any chance she could to drink. Where they were, was where she wanted to avoid. She didn't want to start drinking yet, if she could help it. Violet didn't hate the girl, but it wouldn't be wrong to say that she enjoyed her company. The girl was too loud and crude for her taste. Not to mention her frequent yelling. Giving a quick wave to anyone that spotted her, she made her way to the sofas. She spotted both Kim and Molly there, just the type that she'll rather spend time with any day of the week. Taking a seat just beside Kim, she waved to them as she flashed them one of those warm and charming smiles she was known so well for. Sitting close to Kim tend to fluster her, but she tried her best to keep that under wraps.

"Hey Kim. Hi Molly. Do you both have plans for the party?"
