Possibly interested in this. Is a Supergirl type character feasible?

s more and more dignitaries arrived, the ballroom became noisier and more crowded. Hye-ri was starting to feel more and more out of place, as just about everyone was dressed in western dressing. To make things worst, she was clad in such a bright and vibrant set of pink and purple that made her stand out so much more had she been in more subdued colours.

After the obligatory greetings were done, she moved herself closer towards the main entrance, she needed some fresh air to calm herself down, and entrance with the doors open right now would be the closest she can get to some form of fresh air as she reminded herself for the hundredth time that things were fine and she was doing great.

Honestly, she can lost track of who-was-who very early on, and as more and more people arrived, Hye-ri just about gave up on trying to figure out to see if she could remember who actually was who. She figured that if she needed to know them, it might actually come to her later on. Well at least she wasn't a lost cause, as she did know a handful, such as Princess Lea, Prince Erik, and Princess Mai. The rest?

Well, they will come to her later. Or not. We shall see. She sipped the glass of champagne she had in hand, as she took further glances around the room. It was then that she caught the eye of another princess, she had to be a princess, what with that simple yet regal look about her. Come on, brain, who is this? One, two, three seconds passed before the name came to her. Isabella!

Isabella Del Reyes! Evalusia, that was where she was from.

Hye-ri didn't know much about Evalusia or Isabella, but she did at least remember who the princess was now. Returning her smile with a polite one of her own, she too tried her best to quell the uneasiness in her gut, not realising that her counterpart was doing the very same thing at that very moment. From what she knew of Isabella, the two of them couldn't be more different. They didn't have any similarities nor did they have any common interests, but this event was more than simply meeting people who you could be friends with.

Claire was initially waiting for Ara to reply, but Ron was the one who replied instead. That was fine. It didn't really matter who replied to be honest. She was fully aware of what was going on, a fight or an argument of sorts, and her aim was to stop it. She always seem to play the peacemaker role in the group, and this time was no different. She didn't want to interfere and side with either one of the two, so she tried her best to stay as neutral as she could. But all of that changed of course when Ron answered, his words full of displeasure as he called Ara, Little Miss Serious. All she was trying to do was quote the Joker, but that seemed to fly over both their heads with all the tension and anger that was emanating from the pair. Ron then placed his muscular arm around her arm, which was but a fraction of the size of his, and there was simply no fighting that. Claire allowed herself to be pulled off from Ara, gazing at Rob only to find him returning her gaze.

She continued to allow herself be pulled, or dragged rather, as Ron went down the stairs. She finally regained control of herself once Ron released his grip on her arm, and headed to grab some food. She followed him, feeling more than a little peckish already. Cycling all the way to the party had burned up quite a bit of energy. Glancing over to see what he was taking, peanut M&Ms was the only thing she saw on his plate. She, however, took a chicken wing or two for herself. What else could she say? She was a growing girl and she needed her food, especially when it was chicken. Fried chicken, Grilled chicken, barbecued chicken, you name it and she probably love them as well.

The peanut M&Ms didn't seem to be cooling Ron down, and he was still pissed by the way he was calling Rob's cover of Dancing Queen, karaoke shit. He then suggested they play drunken truth or dare, but was anyone drunk already? Perhaps, Ron was drunk in anger, but she didn't think anyone else was close to being drunk yet. Look like the Truth or Dare game was going to be played anyway, drunk or not.

Hye-ri was preparing to get ready for the party, just as her parents and the rest of the palace staff that was to be coming along with them. There was still some time she could afford to kill before she had to get dressed, so she thought it an opportune time to fool around and take one last selfie before she was glad in the traditional garb, and her hair all done up in a similar traditional way.

She was already starting to get envious of all the other princesses that would be attending the event here in Aciras. They would all be dressed in beautiful western gowns, and she'd even picked one out that she'd loved very much, but her mother had gotten wind of it and her it removed from her wardrobe and had forbidden her from wearing it for this event. Tradition was one of the key traits and values in the Kingdom of Haneul and in all formal events, they would all be clad in traditional garb, not just her but her parents as well.

"It's time to get dressed now, your highness. We haven't have got much time left!" Her lady-in-waiting, Ji-ah urged. It was true they were running out of time, and the both of them did not want to rise the ire of the queen's wrath again once more. Once had been enough. And so, Hye-ri found herself clad in a purple and pink traditional Haneul robe that was worn by all ladies back in the olden days. Her hair was pulled back into a simple braided ponytail and yet another traditional head ornament rested on her head. She left out a huge sigh.

At least the rooms they had been provided to stay in here at the Aciran palace was really nice. The design was hugely different from what she was used to and it was indeed refreshing change for her. She'd always like seeing new things, especially when it came to other nations and their culture. Her footwear was equally simple and traditional, a pair of hand-sewn embroidered cotton slippers with soft leather insoles that made it comfortable to wear for long durations. Light makeup was added to complete her look, and she was now ready to make her entrance. "We're now ready your highness. Let us make our way before the queen comes looking for us."

Hye-ri entered the ballroom and was awe-struck by the name of people there dressed to their nines. She felt wholly inadequate compared to most of the princess elaborate gowns. As if sensing what her princess was feeling, Ji-ah mentioned to her. "Remember, Tradition is key in Haneul." Letting out yet another quiet sigh, she made her way over to Princess Ayleanna to give her greetings to the fellow princess and give her the thanks for the invitation of the event. "Greetings Princess Lea, you look beautiful, and I love your dress so much." A slight accent was noticeable in her speech, but it definitely less pronounced when compared to her parents.

Hey is Dirk betrothed or would you be interested in having him be attached to Hyeri?

Here's my blurb. Let me know if I need to change it.

Han Hye-Ri : Kind and humble, the crown princess of Haneul is well-loved by her citizens. The apple of more than just her parent's eye, she is also favoured by other countries for her willingness to better and improve ties between their nations, and forge new relationships where there are none. An only child, her royal parent's only wish for their daughter is for her to be married off to a great suitor.

When the door opened, Claire was almost hit in the face by an umbrella. Fortunately, her reflexes had been quick enough that she managed to avoid the sudden assault. She waited to see who was behind the attack, and the face revealed itself a minute later to be none other than Ron himself. She gave him a "what-the-fuck-just-happened" look and he tried to explain his behaviour before giving up about it. He settled with a "what's Up" and she jokingly replied, "Geez, endangering the lives of trick-or-treaters Ron? Really?"

She returned his hug before heading down in the direction that was pointed to be the location of the party. She camme across Bernie downstairs, and she happened to be the first one to comment favourably about her costume which brought a grin to her face. Clearly the girl had good taste, just like her. When the unexpected duo arrived, Claire headed back upstairs, hoping that it was Ara and Rob. She'd heard that it was something to be expected. And true enough when she saw them, she was clapping in excitement. Firstly, Robert looked like the butt of some joke, and secondly, Ara looked metal-as-heck. She was glad to know that she wasn't going to be the only one with a painted face at the party.

Claire had to give it to her. The face paint was definitely nicely done and she was definitely giving her a run for her money as far as face paints was concerned. She walked up to Ara who seemed to be having some kind of fight with Ron. Quoting another famous villain with face paint, Claire exclaimed as she walked to Ara before placing an arm around her shoulder. "Hey Ara! You look bomb. Why so serious?"

With a soft round face accentuated by her distinctive facial features, Many would say that Hyeri presents a rather comely and pleasing appearance. She stands among the common height for an average female In Haneul at five foot six inches. Her figure is slim and svelte with small arms and shoulders, a modest bosom and a nicely defined waist. Athletic looking and well known by all for her flattering figure, her figure is often admired by both men and women alike. Her lips are a healthy shade of pink, and they are just one of the many genes inherited from her mother, along with her expressive dark brown almond-shaped eyes which twinkle with delight and excitement whenever she finds interest in something, and the twin brown orbs emote expressively in times of happiness, anger and sadness.

She wears her heart on her sleeve, with her emotions out in the open for all to see, and her eyes are clearly evidence of that. Her complexion is fair and likened to a shade of creamy ivory. Her dark jet black hair is an excellent complement to her pale skin which possess no scars or blemishes upon them. While she usually lets it down, she is not adverse to tying it up into a ponytail should she require more of a free of movement while engaging in any form of strenuous physical activity. While she likes dressing up and looking pretty, she does have this effortless beauty about her along with that girl-next-door feel that has been known to drive most men wild. Unfortunately for them, she was born into a royal family and no easy target for them. Her outfits in Haneul range from the traditional cultural dresses the royal family wears to the modern outfits of today that she is normally seen in, like dresses, blouses, pants and skirts. On certain rare occasions, some might even be able to catch in t-shirts if they are all extra snoopy and paparazzi like.

She is not one to lather herself in layers of makeup, simply opting for the minimum amount needed to stay fresh and maintain a clear and beautiful image in front of others, especially with all the various cameras around. Most citizens of Haneul would describe their crown princess as a dearly-loved national sweetheart who is as graceful as she is beautiful and with a heart-warming smile.

Hyeri has always been more of the introverted sort. She has never been the type to show or express her emotions easily, but when she does, you’ll know that it is absolutely genuine. This also leads into the fact that she is not a talkative chatterbox, but that in turn also makes her a great listener. When she’s quiet, she’s observant. That makes her a great considerate friend to have, as you’ll always know that they’ll be there to listen to your rants and whines without judgement. It’s not exactly that she is always silent, it’s more that she is taking the extra time to acknowledge her thoughts. She recognises what she is thinking and takes the extra time and effort to stop and reflect on it. This can work as a double-edged sword, but it is not something that she can change easily for a matter of fact. Hyeri is friendly and easy going, and is not a difficult person to get along with. She is polite and seldom rude, both to her peers and elders.

Humble and down-to-earth despite being royalty, she is known to mix around and immerse herself in the activities and events of the common people, which has earned her titles such as The Nation's Sweetheart, or Princess-Next-Door. Because of her lovable and incredibly likeable personality, Hyeri is more popular than any other royal family member, even her parents the king and queen. She is recognised as an icon and the face of Haneul, and ads throughout the country feature her if they are lucky enough to get her as an ambassador. Just about everything she promotes ends up as a success, and any piece of clothing she wears in public appearances sells out in minutes. It is safe to say that just about everyone in the country regardless of social and wealth status knows who she is.

She pursues an active lifestyle with plenty of energy to spare and likes to pursue anything that catches her interest and attention, and can often be found doing activities for either gender. She’s in the habit of proving that she’s just as good as men or better, and has proven herself in more than a few occasions in that enough of the men have recognised her for the fact. Hyeri is also known to be incredibly stubborn and prefers doing things her way. Hyeri does have a compassionate side to her though, and likes doing little things to show how she feels about her friends and loved ones where words would fail to describe how she feels for them. The saying actions speak louder than words is very much in tuned with how she behaves as she is not one who is very expressive when it comes to her feelings.

Hyeri is the only child born to the King and Queen of Haneul. Her parents had been trying for several years to conceive with no good news coming their way. One fine winter when the news finally came that the Queen was pregnant, the whole place erupted into an uproar as all the palace staff became excited about the baby even though she was only in the early stages of her pregnancy. The Queen was given the best treatment possible, from drinking herbal medicine, to getting check-ups from the best doctors in the country. Fast-forward nine months, Hyeri was finally born after a much anticipated delivery that didn't just keep the whole palace on tenterhooks, but the whole country waited on baited breaths as well, as news and media countries found themselves camping outside of the palace grounds waiting for any news of childbirth. When she was delivered safely, a palace spokesman went out to address the media and informed them that a girl has been born. The day would come to be known as a national holiday to celebrate the birth of the crown princess.

As Hyeri grew up, she continued to remain in the spotlight. She'd been in the spotlight since she was born, and it most certainly wasn't going to stop now. The Haneuli public soon found themselves falling in love with the little endearing crown princess who was as charming as she was photogenic. She grew up being tutored by the best teachers in the nation and a huge series of curriculum that was befitting that of a child of a royal family. She found all the studying really boring, and she could often be found escaping her classes which often ended up in a hide-and-seek game with her maidservants and bodyguards. That usually ended up with the same result of them finding her, and the young girl getting lectured and punished by her royal parents. Dealing with a rebellious child was not easy, but fortunately for them, they had the resources of the entire country at their disposal. As she grew up into teenager, the rebellious phase wore off, and a much more subdued one took its place. Hyeri found herself inclined towards the arts, and got into music and dance. She learnt how to play the flute and the piano, and started attending ballet lessons regularly. As she began to edge into the young adult stage of her life, Hyeri found that she loved involving herself in community work and spending time with the common people.

The people loved her, and she loved them back. She also began to take up modelling and involving herself heavily in social media, with a dedicated team at her side. It was considered an honour for any company that was allowed to feature the crown princess as their ambassador in their commercials and advertisements, and the Palace Public Relations Department handles hundreds of requests from various companies each week. It would not be surprising to see her face being plastered on many billboards and posters all over the country and she is loved for it. As soon as she began to approach her twenties, talks of marriage became a hot topic within the country as everyone started discussing about who her future husband would be. Talk shows, radio shows, online forums, practically everyone began talking about who that might be. When no word was released by the Palace Public Relations department for two years, the talks began to die down, but if you thought that meant that the public was no longer interested in the crown princess's marriage, you'll be wrong.

Haneul is a nation with a very high standard of living. The poverty levels in the country are low, and while there are still income and social statuses within the population, the wealth income gaps between the different groups are narrow. Despite the cultural and traditional outer appearances of their palace, the interior paints a totally different picture. Haneul is a technology advanced country and the results of its technological advances can be seen everywhere throughout the country. Large media billboards can be found on buildings and skyscrapers and just about everyone owns a mobile phone or a computer or some form of mobile touch devices. The palace is equally equipped with high technology and security despite its ancient looking appearance. The nation is well-regarded within the globe, as it frequently partners and shares its expertise with its allies and its business partners. The line of succession in the monarchy is decided by the order of birth when it comes to the king and queen's children, and the oldest will always have priority over then youngest.

With their large advances in technology, it is no surprise to anyone that Haneul is known as a hotspot for entertainment, be it music or movies. It is most popular for it's pop scene which has produced numerous amounts of award-winning singers and bestselling groups. Movies coming out of the nation is nothing to scoff at either, with cutting-edge technology coupled with talented directors and producers making hits after hits. Although immigrants were rare in Haneul in the past, the country is slowly opening up, and slowly but gradually more immigrants are calling themselves home in the Kingdom. Its military is strong and self-sufficient, and definitely one to be reckoned with, but it is not a militaristic state, and they do not seek to involve themselves in the military affairs of nations other than its allies.

The Kingdom of Haneul is an old and ancient kingdom. It is not as old as Liang, but still old enough in its own right. In entire nation's history, the monarchy has only been ruled by one family, the Hans. Every single king has been a Han, from the very first king in its founding days to the present day and the current king. They used to be a very backward and weak kingdom that was always lagging behind more powerful nations of its time such as Liang. The technological revolution that happened in the last century or so changed everything. No longer was the Kingdom a backward nation that no one cared about, or one that was always stood in the back. Now it was at the forefront of the world and stood toe-to-toe with the strongest in the world. Now, other nations include Haneul in their plans, hopefully for a share of the pie as well, and well, the Kingdom of Haneul is only too happy to accept. That was how things worked.

Once you hit the big time, everyone wants a piece of you.
