PERSONALITY ☆ 

Grace has always been quiet ever since she was little. She never liked to talk that much and doesn't mind not talking, she loves just listening to other people talking. As Grace doesn't talk that much she is very observant of everything. Always looking around and thinking about things. So you may ask, so does she not talk at all...and no she does talk but most likely only around  people she's really comfortable around. Sometimes with her members she can become really crazy and hyper that she can talk a lot . People who don't know her well think that she's being y and they think she thinks she is superior than them, which of course is not true. While Grace is the quiet one, she is always taking care of everyone secretly. Making breakfast early in the morning before anyone wakes up, fixing their appearance, and cleaning behind their mess. Grace has always been pretty smart, in high school being a straight A student. So you can say she is very neat. Her work table is always organized, but she isn't a neat freak. She won't be nagging the members to clean up. Even though she doesn't talk much, Grace always seems to be happy with a smile on her face. 
Behind her smile is just a girl who is trying to show that she isn't weak. She has always been self-concious, since she was little she would always hear adults talking about her appearance. They would say she's pretty but there was always a negative way they say it. That's why she studied really hard to get straight A's when she was in school. Even though Grace is very quiet, when someone is being annoying she has the hardest time not to be blunt. Especially when they're being obnoxiously loud. Aso... even though she may seem like the bookworm who doesn't know how to have fun, she actually loves to go hand out with friends and maybe even go to parties. Reading is just something to keep her relaxed. Grace is actually very quick tempered even though she tries to fix her attitude. She tries to make everyone think she is the nice one, but secretly she can hate people really easily.Hears you talk bad about you, she will do the same, maybe even say worse stuff than the other pesron. Will secretly give you glares and not talk to the person, making sure other people don't see her. So don't get on her bad side, they say the quitest ones are the scariest when mad.

BACKGROUND ☆ 

Grace Jisoo Kwak was born on december 24, 1995 to korean parents. Being born in san fran they moved to la when she was 4, for her dads business. She grew up being over shadowed by her smarter older brother. When she was younger she was the type who didn't really study and loved to watch tv, so her mom would always compare her to her brother. That went on for so long until middle school that Grace began to work her off to become as good as her brother. Yet even when she did get all A's her brother would achieve something better, that her parents never complimented her. So she thought that her parents just didn't love  her and kept studying for her own pleasure. 
During school, a lot of Grace's friends would only talk to her to ask her questions about school work they didn't understand or to ask if they could copy her homework. That got her to think people only pretended to be her friend for her homework. So that's when she started to talk less and become more blunt to people, because she didn't want to be used. Grace was considered a geek at school as she was straight A's student, president of the book club, and vice president of their school band. But of course she got stress from all these school stuff. Where in the world is there a student who actually enjoys all these stuffs. She secretly got a tattoo on her right shoulder when she turned 18. She also tries to free her mind from school activites reading and writing fanfics.
As Grace's parents were both christians, Grace was born into the church life. Attending Church every sunday and friday and joining the praise band. When she first sang for church, a lot of people complimented her saying that she had a great voice and that's when she started to sing. She bought a guitar with her allowence and self taught herself. That's when she made a youtube account and started to post cover songs of kpop, of course without her mom knowing as her mom disliked the idea of kpop. Her mom would go nuts if she heard Grace would stay up to watch reality shows and dramas. When Grace finally told her mom about her wanting to audition and becoming a singer, her mom yelled at her to the point where her brother had to come to calm down, as her mother wanted all of her kids to go to the medical field. So with help of her brother she got to go and audition for pledis, where she passed. Her mom was still opposing the idea of her not going to med school and becoming a trainee, so came to terms to applying for university, not telling her mom how often she would have to miss school. She moved to korea to her aunts and is living there with her, while training and studying. On a note the reason for her mom opposing in kpop so much is she believes that kpop fans are just worshipping their favorite singers. 

FAMILY ☆ 

— dad, Justin Joowon Kwak ☆ 48 ☆ doctor ☆kind, caring, funny, smart ☆ Grace and her dad are close but as he is always at work they rarely get to see each other. He would often buy her presents as he felt sorry for not being around her as much as he would like. Yet Grace understands that he is busy with work. 
— mom, Michelle Eunyoung Kwak ☆ 47 ☆ piano instructor ☆ strict, organized, son lover☆ They do not get along at all. Grace's mother would always scold her about her school work, even if she gets all A's. Grace is not quite fond of her motehr. 
— oppa, David Jihoon Kwak ☆ 22 ☆ medical student ☆ chill, funny, smart, neat, caring ☆ As Grace has always been compared to her brother she tends to dislike him, but she knows he really does care for her. They don't talk too much but times to times they go out and have a sister and brother date. David is always helping and caring for Grace secretly,telling their mother to stop comparing them.

FRIENDS ☆ 

— best friend, Diana Jang ☆ 19 ☆ college student ☆ Diana is one of Grace's most outgoing friends. She is probably one of the friends who is not scared of her mom. She also is very talkative ☆ they have been going to the same church ever since they were 6. They also went to the same middle and high school. ☆ Diana and Grace are basically perfect for each other. Diana does all the talking while Grace does all the listening. They love to go out and watch movies or go out to eat. Diana also comforts Grace a lot telling her not to be down because of her mom.
— close dongsaeng, Seungkwan Boo ☆ 17 ☆ idol ☆ seungkwan is really funny, and he just loves to talk alot. ☆ seungkwan actually was the one to talk to Grace first as she was reading a book during their free time. ☆  Seungkwan and Grace are actually really close though they are different ages. Grace loves that seungkwan talks alot and Seungkwan loves that Grace always laughs at his jokes. 
— Close friends, jeon wonwoo ☆ 18 ☆ idol ☆ unlike seungkwan wonwoo is on the quieter side like Grace. ☆ Grace was getting scolded for not improving on her dancing so he went into the room and decided to help her out ☆ Grace always goes to wonwoo for help on her dancing even though he is not performance unit he is always willing to help her out. Even though they both are the quieter types, they seem  to have a good conversation. They got close pretty fast.

RIVALS ☆ 

— Jenny Hwang ☆ 19 ☆ trainee ☆ sly, rude, two-faced ☆ attended same high school as Grace. She was popular crowd☆ Grace doesn't really care too much about Jenny but Jenny started to hate Jenny when she started to date Joshua after he confessed to her. 
— baby g member, na bohye ☆ 20 ☆ trainee ☆ in grace's eyes she seemed really mean and y ☆ they trained together for a while ☆ Let's say they didn't get off to the best start. Grace couldn't get the dance moves down and as the perfectionist bohye is she made Grace do it for hours. Grace onced whispered to herself that she's so annoying but to her luck bohye was near her and she heard it. They get closer later on though/
 

☆ "brains over Brawns"

so many books so little time

Explain your trainee life. How did you get into Pledis? Is there any other labels you tried out for? How long have you trained?  ☆  Grace has never auditoned for any other company except Pledis, she never thought about it as her mom would have never allowed her too. But as Pledis opened up an audition in Los Angeles she decided to go and try out with the help of her brother pursuading their mom. Luckily they accepted her. She has been training for only 1 year and 6 months. Grace was lacking in all singing,dancing, and rapping but trained really hard. Singing she got a lot better than she first joined even if she is not main vocalist she is improving a lot. Dancing is not something she's the best at but you can say she doesnt have 2 left feet. 

Any Pre-Debut Expierence? ☆  nope, Grace and the company thought it was just best for her to keep training by herself/

Jeon Wonwoo + DK

PERSONALITY ☆  Joshua, the "gentlemen" of seventeen. He is quite quite and slightly awkward. But like his nickname he is a lady killer. He is always smiling and being nice to everyone. Loves to just sit in the practice room and free stlye about food, not even joking. (sorry im really bad at this so i'll just put the traits)
sweet, caring, gullible, romantic, childish, quite. 
With s he is the one who doesn't talk as much. He loves to be around s and give them love and then getting love back. As he grew up his parents always reminded him to be a mannered guy especially to girls. So often girls would think he likes them. 

RELATIONSHIP ☆  Let's say Grace and Joshua are in a pretty awkward relationship at the moment.When Grace first entered pledis the first rumour she heard was Joshua and Jenny being an item.  As Joshua first saw Grace in the company Jenny had to be right next to them, bringing up their past relationship while linking arms with Joshua. Grace asking them if they were an item now, Jenny replied yes. Joshua was in shocked not saying anything while Grace left while congratulating them. 

For a while Joshua has been trying to talk to Grace, saying Jenny was lying. But Grace had been avoiding Joshua has best as she can. Things got even more awkward as rumours about their past relatioship started to spread like wild fire. When Joshua finally got in the same room as her, his gentlemen side was gone and was angry. That's where he spilled that he liked her.  But Grace not knowing what to do just said sorry and left.
 
After his confession Joshua always kept taking care of Grace.While Grace always ignored him. He was determined to  get Grace to be his again. But of course Jenny is always blocking them. Grace secretly happy that Joshua likes her, but doesn't know how to express her own feelings again/

HISTORY ☆  In high school, they attended the same church and school. Both of them were in praise band together and Joshua fell for her after getting close to her. He asked her out and they dated for a quite a few months. They did quite a lot of things like buying couple rings, taking selfies, and singing together. They pretty much the hottest item at school, but as Joshua moved to Korea their relationship was pretty much done.

OTHER ☆  Joshua gets help from other seventeen members and Grace finally confess her feelings.
