What has your life been like so far?
"Let's see... I have said that I was born in Yongin right? Well, I have two siblings, Park Ryeowook, my older brother and Park Seolhyun, my younger sister. I grew up around dance and video games and carried both of those to be my passion of course, and strived my best to incorporate those two things in my life as much as I can. I applied for a game company and am part of a dance troupe, so that puts a check mark on that. μμ΄κ΅¬ 'Aigoo' (Aw, Man) I really hope I get into that company, I spent so much time in school just to get in that company, come on, seeing all A's on my last report card should have meant something right?

Any quirks, talents, or weird facts about you?
"I'm really expressive but really shy, I know it's a weird combination but it's just how it is."
"I have pointed ears... Is that considered a weird fact?"
"Oh, oh! I love dancing, like it's my biggest passion, and someday hope to show the world that I can or something. It just makes me all happy inside. And since dancing comes with training, I'm in shape in almost an athletic way."
"I maybe shy, but to those I'm not shy around, I will cherish and care for them forever."
"My friends say I get jealous a lot, I can't really say for myself how jealous I am since I don't really notice it so much."
"I'm... 6" flat, is that a weird fact or just a regular fact?"
"Oh, some say I'm extra as a person can get times a thousand... I can't disprove them."
Why do you deserve to win?
"To show that I can? A lot of people doubt me, but I'll show them that they're wrong, and hey if I lose it seems like a fun ride."
And if you do win, what will you do with the million dollars?
"I would like to start my own dance class or maybe even a video company of my own. I mean, shouldn't your heart and soul go to your passion? I think so."
"Open up opportunities in being who you are or whatever my yearbook quote was 6 years ago."

As Luna continued to eat her food, she was slowly enjoying it, especially since the chefs were adorable. Watching them waddle around while they have food trays over their head and watching them carry those said trays to hunters was quite amusing. This may be why Luna is a felyne type of person. I do miss my Palico. Luna thought.
But that same thought did lead to a PTSD sort of flashback on the horrors of watching her Palico get devoured by a Teostra and Lunastra as it sacrificed itself to save Luna. And since it was a whole episode, she accidentally knocked the bowl of soup on her table and smashed the bowl on the floor. "Ah... Gods save me." She muttered as she got off her chair and started picking up the shards of bowl while one of the chef felyne's helped her.
She continuously apologised as she gave the shards she had collected in the dust pan that the felyne was using to collect them in. She held her head was seemed to be receiving a small migraine. And when that Prick from earlier walked in, she swore it got worse.
With whom did you forge a deeper bond? Khloe's bond with Cleo definitely ended up growing pretty well, she became her best friend after awhile then they started dating. She didn't expect to be going out with Cleo but it happened and she's definitely glad it happened. Her affinity with the others has also grown, especially Drake since he always seemed to be in the right place at the right time but other than those two, nothing much.
Did your powers grow? How? Well, she doesn't freeze everything she touches anymore ever since the whole Dorm Freezing of 2018. But her control on her powers has definitely improved the most throughout time in the institute. Hell she even learned a new trick where she can form ice all over her body and it acts as armour. It does also enhance most of her abilities when she does this which is also a big plus in her book.
Did you have problems with other students? No.
Highway to the danger room (jk that was terrible). Khloe does superb in the danger room, passing most tests with flying colours, though she did freeze portions of it while she was in freak out freeze everything mode (Patent pending). But after learning to control it, she was always commended for her improvement
Luna clicked her tongue as she watched Devin walked towards the front of the ship, she definitely knew where not to go. She suddenly felt her stomach grumble, and she politely excused herself from everyone around her as she pulled herself away from the crowd. "I'm surprised I still have an appetite." Luna mumbled under her breath as moved towards where the food would be, and that's a quick walk down to the ship.
Luna ran her finger against the wooden wall of the ship as she went down to the area where there were tables and such, or where people eat, she needed to at least to fill up on food before she'd go down onto the island with that prick from earlier. Other than him calling her sunshine, there was just something about him that he didn't like, whatever it was, maybe there was a way to resolve this issue.
Appearance: Jiyoo is someone who is considered very beautiful in Korean standards, some of her youtube comments say that she's part of the top 100 most beautiful faces in the world. Her body is very fit and athletic from her training in the dance scene, and she's quite noticeable because of her rather fair skin. Her hair was originally black but she dyed her hair red once and that had been her staple on her channel for as long as she could remember, every one of her friends knows about her signature long, flowing, red hair. Her distinct facial features would be her small lips, her cute button nose and her also well known eye smile from all the photos of her back in Korea. Her height stands at 5'7" or 170 centimeters, which is above average of Korean female heights, and along with her height her weight does not exceed 110 lbs, Jiyoo's height and weight is practically perfect for what she has fallen in love doing, and with her flexible and well toned body, she can instantly swap to popping and locking hard, then immediately to graceful dances like waltz and the like.
In fashion, Jiyoo's contrast of her two fashions is quite odd and has many people question why and how things like this even occur. When she's dancing, she's always in something comfortable and baggy like sweats and loose shirts with a sports bra or whatever underneath, and when she doesn't really care about what she's wearing, it's always a white top and black bottoms in the most comfortable and lazy way, like she grabbed the first thing she saw in her closet and slapped it on.
And on the other hand, her fashion for when she's actually trying is genuine, top tier, Korean fashion, always something stylish with the perfect mix of light and dark, usually something denim when the day is just right; if someone decides to google Korean Fashion, Jiyoo has probably already wore something like what they will see. And who could forget what she wore during the Daegu 11th Annual Dance competition, which had people turning heads.
Habits | Quirks | Oddities:
Jiyoo's habits aren't necessarily what describe her as a person, she's a huge nerd but that doesn't stop her from being someone who's generally outgoing. Jiyoo's main habit that should be almost considered a staple in her person is her absolutely obvious lip biting when she's focusing or doing something that involves a lot of effort, she gets quite conscious about it since some people in her old school thought it was something sexual, though she can't seem to stop doing it though. She'll also be caught dancing to every song that plays, whether it be popping and locking, to something slow and lyrical, the girl just can't help herself. And lastly. Jiyoo has very, very high affinity with the sky, always seeming so mesmerised by it no matter what it may contain, clouds, stars or rain, she'll love looking up at the sky for no reason whatsoever.
Jiyoo also loves the rain, always calling it a "Friend who solves all your problems for a moment." So this may make it so that she is often caught under a roof, a coffee or tea in hand just sitting or stood by the rain, it's just one of her quirks that seem to make her so much odder. Jiyoo doesn't just end on that, she's also extremely athletic, especially when it comes to Track, Volleyball and Dancing. This may also explain why Jiyoo eats a lot, like... A lot, but she doesn't really gain weight, she keeps in check.
Jiyoo is someone who is quite known to wow the stage, whether she is the face of the performance or just a back up dancer. Her allure to those who look at her seems to always catch people off guard. From her confidence on stage to her gregariousness off stage to those who come up to her. Though, Jiyoo's off-stage personality is much different to Jiyoo's on-stage personality; Off-stage, she's someone who's very approachable and easy to talk to, always making people smile to every little thing she does, heck, some even say her smile is the most contagious thing in the world, but on-stage Jiyoo is someone who is serious and only ever smiles when people are enjoying themselves, the reason that Jiyoo states why she doesn't smile much on stage is "It makes me lip bite a lot, and I don't like doing that on stage... Or in front of other people.". Jiyoo is definitely someone worth keeping, just from her smile alone.
She yearns for adoration sometimes, but only when she feels like she deserves it, which is hardly ever to begin with, which is why every time she finishes a performances and the cheers of people are loud, it makes her smile like a dork. Jiyoo loves competing, but in a way where she doesn't care if she wins or lose, she just wants the experience. She is sensitive at times, but only to the point where she'll get upset about for a little while then shrug it off like it nothing. Jiyoo foolishness and naivety is something that her fiends should know very well about (Ask Junhoe), how she fails to put two and two together sometimes and laughs it off once someone points it out to her, some say it's cute and some say it's annoying, but hey, that's how Jiyoo is, she tries her best.
"You got the best of me!"
History:
Jiyoo was around the age of 17 when she told her parents she wanted to take studying dance to the next level, in a prestigious dancing academy in Daejeon, South Korea. She was very lucky to be part of the upper-middle class of South Korea which meant the possibility of this is higher than those in lower classes. Her parents have always supported her dancing, but they wanted her to pursue a career in law, it wasn't what she exactly wanted but she wanted to make her parents happy. Her balance in Law and Dance was odd because she always would go out of her way to immediately start learning choreography off videos of the internet or from personal lessons from her dance crew's choreographer and leader. She was well known in her dance crew for being the best, and was always the second in command whenever their choreographer/leader wasn't around. And that was proven when Daegu 11th Annual Dance competition came around the corner.
But before we get to that, Jiyoo was born in Sintanjin Hanil Hospital in Daejeon, South Korea on the 17th of May. She was the second of four and was often called the most passionate when it came to what she wanted to do. When she was young, she fell in love with dance when she saw all the street dancers. This lead to her asking her parents to give her dance lessons so she could learn how to dance. Her parents were happy to do so, and she ended up winning multiple interschool dance competitions with the school's dance troupe. Jiyoo's dancing ability does get better everyday, this was something she herself knew and was aware of. She continued to grow along with dance, it was her passion and she didn't want to let go out of it.
Now back to the preparation, as the practice went on for the Daegu 11th Annual Dance competition, one of her school mates asked if she could record Jiyoo as like a fan cam thing like how they did with K-Pop idols. Jiyoo agreed and was ready to give her best, the troupe practiced, and practiced and practiced until it was the time for the actual competition. The competition went on and they were surprised to have won first place, since this was the first competition they did that was nationwide. Her school mate that recorded her sent her the video after the event and Jiyoo uploaded it on youtube, which was the video that got people talking about her.
The views were within the first 24 hours of it being uploaded.
And with that video, she was getting multiple offers to dance in large kpop companies like JYP Entertainment and Bighit Entertainment, this gave her a lot of credibility but she ended up declining all offers since she'd only like to teach or dance for herself she didn't want millions of people to watch and wait for her to fail, but instead she wants to spread what she knows and become a teacher of some sorts. This lead to an offer that came from America for her to teach in a school years later, specifically a University in a small town called Silvervale. She accepted but her parents were quite reluctant to send her abroad, but with a little bit of convincing, she finally got her parents to agree on her to go there and teach, she was done with her education so why not? She packed her bags and flew all the way to America to do what she wanted to do.
When Jiyoo landed, she took a taxi straight to Silvervale to get acquainted. She settled in the Redwoods apartment and was enjoying her time there, and she was generally glad that she wasn't the only Korean in the building, weeks later a man moved in named Park Junhoe. and they immediately became friends after a quick chat. She knew she'd like it, especially now that she now considers this man as her closest friend.
Extra: β‘ Jiyoo speaks fluent American English. β‘ Jiyoo has a phobia or rats and absolutely despises pomegranates β‘ Owns an American curl (cat) named Akko.
