EXTRA(S) —
adding more to her fragile appearance, seungeon's quite reserved with her clothing style. she doesn't like to show that much skin and is mostly seen layering her outfits. these days lately, seungeon's really been into denim overalls. as for color, seungeon enjoys more neutral earth toned colors than bright ones. despite being an artist, seungeon doesn't like flashy colors. she finds them too eye catching and that means being the center of attention, which seungeon definitely doesn't take pleasure in. keeping it simple with accessories, seungeon will probably just wear one ring on her right hand and a bracelet on the left. besides clothing, seungeon doesn't really do anything else with herself. she does not wear makeup because of that one time where she poke herself in the eye and had to go to the doctor. the closest thing to makeup would be her stick of chapstick. the only thing that seungeon really puts effort into is her hair. if she's feeling a little creative one day, she'll put her hair into two cute panda buns. it's either that or she just air drys it.

☁ POSITIVE : happy-go-lucky, optimistic, calm, gentle, compassionate.
☁ NEGATIVE : emotional, gullible, oblivious, forgetful, mealy-mouthed.
☁ NEUTRAL : absentminded, dreamy, reserved, solitary, whimsical.
PERSONALITY —
IN A WORLD OF HER OWN : seungeon always has her head in the clouds. whenever you see her, you can usually find her daydreaming. most of the time, it's about cats. due to her absentminded nature, seungeon tends to forget many things, including names. the only way she can remember someone's name is to make a nickname for them. basically, if you don't have an appointed nickname, then you'll be greeted by a flustered seungeon, trying her absolute best to guess what your name is. she swear she doesn't mean to forget someone's name, it just slips her mind. you have to constantly remind her of your name; the struggle is real for seungeon.
GUILTY AS CHARGED : seungeon is very reserved. she only talks when it's necessary. although, there are those rare occasion where she randomly blurts out a fact about cats. sometimes, she can't help herself. one important thing to know about seungeon is that she cannot lie for her life and hates hurting people. if you tell her a secret, beware that seungeon will not be able to keep it. she'll usually get so anxious around the person the secret's about and let the cat out of the bag (get it). most people can tell when seungeon's lying. if you see her shifting her eyes side to side and keeps making sporadic compliments about how your hair looks good, then you can definitely tell.
THE GENTLE LAMB : besides her whimsical aura, seungeon is very happy-go-lucky. there's never a day when seungeon isn't smiling. unless you forcefully take away a cat from her clutches, then that's when seungeon's mood deteriorates. she's a very oblivious person who never knows what's going on. most of the time, she's the last person to know about something. she's also very gullible so if you took her to work on sunday (when the cafe is closed), she would come in bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. seungeon tends to take things very literal so don't say things you don't mean.
BACKGROUND/CURRENT LIFESTYLE —
after moving out of her parent's home during her freshman year of college, seungeon moved into a small studio apartment near her university. seungeon pays for her own groceries while her parents pay for the rent. since moving out, seungeon adopted two fluffy black cats that she named kili and fili. she named them after two of her favorite characters from the hobbit movie series. as for school, seungeon is currently attending hongik university, majoring in animation. it's her junior year so she's been working hard to get good grades. besides college and work, seungeon mostly spends her time at home, either playing with her cats or editing a new chapter of her webtoon, mister kitty.
TRIVIA —
☁ MISTER KITTY : it is the name of seungeon's webtoon. the webtoon was created during seungeon's senior year of high school. it began to become popular during seungeon's sophomore year of college. the webtoon is about a cat and his everyday struggles as a talking cat.
☁ UHM, HELLO : seungeon is very softspoken and has a very light tone to her voice. many people tend to ask her to speak up because she talks so quietly. to be honest, seungeon tends to stress over how her voice is so soft. it's one of her most biggest insecurities.
☁ SOCIAL ANXIETY : seungeon is not a fan of socializing at all. she has a extremely difficult time talking to people. many times, seungeon will stress over her words and is prone to stuttering over her words. seungeon's the type to overthink about what she's going to say and then regretfully reflects about it afterwards. she believes that talking to cats is way easier than talking to humans.
☁ KITTY FACTS : once in a blue moon, seungeon will blurt out a random fact about cats. she could literally state 100 facts about cats within ten minutes.
☁ OPPSY DAISY : seungeon is constantly losing her phone. she'll put it somewhere and it just disappears five minutes later. although, most of it is seungeon's fault because she always forgets where she puts it. if you want to talk to her, it would be better to do it face to face even though she might start stuttering in the middle of conversation due to her anxiety. her phone is a white samsung galaxy s5 with a pink silicone cat case on it. she has a ringtone for every one of her contacts so she knows who it is.
☁ HUH, OH SORRY! : seungeon can almost always been seen talking to herself. usually, she'll talk to herself to keep herself entertained. it's either that or she's reciting words to herself so she can properly say them to other people.
☁ POH-TAY-TOES : seungeon's favorite food are potatoes. fry them, boil them, stew them, seungeon does not care. she loves any kind of potato dish.
☁ PLEASE HELP ME : seungeon isn't a huge fan of affection. not only does her face turn into a red tomato, she'll turn stiff as a board. like when someone gives her a hug, she'll make it awkward by feebly patting the person's back.
☁ *SHIVERS* : seungeon is very sensitive to the cold. in order to prevent illness, seungeon usually puts on a oversized sweater to keep herself warm. seungeon also has a somewhat weak immune system so she gets sick easily. due to her weak immune system, seungeon tends to prefer healthy foods and is constantly drinking organic vegetable juices to keep her body in good shape.
☁ OKAY? OKAY. : one sign that seungeon has grown on you and sees you as a friend is when she stops stuttering about you. she'll even start to talk to you more and occasionally state a cat fact almost every twenty minutes.
☁ WHY THE TEARS? : seungeon's quite emotional. if she feels an intense emotion, then she'll probably cry. for example, if someone told her that their cat just recently died, seungeon will literally burst into tears and run away to a secluded area to mourn the poor kitty's death. on the oppsite hand though, when seungeon hears very good news like someone getting married, seungeon's eyes will start tearing up from happiness. ("why are you crying? i-i'm just so p-proud!")

PERSONALITY — "W-WELL, HOW CAN I PUT JINYOUNG INTO WORDS? NOT ONLY IS HE KIND, HE ACCEPTS ME AS A PERSON. HE DOESN'T FIND MY STUTTERING ANNOYING WHICH IS NICE. SURE, HE HAS MOMENTS WHERE HE'S VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD, BUT I-I LIKE IT. I DON'T HAVE TO TRY TO DECIPHER HIS WORDS; THEY'RE JUST PLAIN AND SIMPLE. I ALSO LIKE THAT HE'S JUST AS WEIRD AS ME. HE ISN'T AFRAID TO FLAUNT IT AND THAT'S WHAT I ADMIRE ABOUT HIM. I'M GLAD HE'S MY FRIEND."
THEIR STORY —
HOW TYPICAL : when seungeon and jinyoung first met each other, it was when they accidently bumped into each other freshman year of college. seungeon was trying to find her way to class, but was having a hard time with directions. while she was speedwalking with panic and anxiety, she bumped into jinyoung, making his books to fall out of his hands. realizing the situation she put herself in, she profusely apologized for being such clutz and picked up his books. after telling seungeon that it was okay over and over again, he noticed the wrinkled map in seungeon's hands and offered to help. as jinyoung helped her, he noticed that she had a class with him. after constantly meeting each other in that certain class, seungeon and jinyoung were able to become close friends through their love of cats.
MY GUARDIAN ANGEL : if there was one word to describe what jinyoung was to seungeon, it would be her protector. whenever seungeon's lost or needs help, jinyoung's always there to save the day. even though seungeon's grateful that he takes care of her so well, she feels like a burden on his shoulders. it's like she drags him down, or at least that's what she thinks. despite jinyoung's refutes, seungeon's still worries about it. but for now, seungeon is just going to shake off the negative feelings and enjoy her friendship with him. although, that doesn't stop her from trying to improve herself as a person. she's been attempting to build her confidence and to relieve herself of her social anxiety, but it's been a slow process.
ANIME MARATHON? SURE! : besides their weakness for cats, jinyoung just recently got seungeon into anime. whenever they're hanging out, they're usually at seungeon's place, watching anime while stuffing their faces with food seungeon made. after the anime, jinyoung likes to discuss, more like fanboy, about it. to be honest, seungeon really likes it when jinyoung gets so excited about it. his eyes light up and he actually smiles. it makes seungeon very happy that jinyoung is so comfortable with her. since they've been friends since freshman year, seungeon finds a lot of comfort in jinyoung. she can say what she wants without feeling like a major idiot around him. she could rant about how cats are her spirit animal for hours and he'll only complain once in a while.
I, U-UHM, DON'T KNOW : after hanging out with jinyoung one day, seungeon started to realize her feelings for jinyoung were not platonic at all. all of the butterflies in her stomach weren't from her anxiety, but something else. regardless of knowing her feelings towards jinyoung, seungeon's still confused about them. she likes jinyoung, but she doesn't know what to do with her feelings. jinyoung's not interesting in dating anyone at the moment so seungeon's been keeping everything under wraps. jinyoung can tell that there's something wrong with seungeon, but he doesn't want to meddle. seungeon's scared of telling him about her feelings, but she doesn't know if she can keep shut about it. all she knows is that she can't lose his friendship.
TRIVIA —
☁ HERE'S YOUR PHONE : whenever seungeon loses her phone, it's always jinyoung that usually finds it. after giving her phone back, jinyoung tends to scold seungeon, telling her to put it in a place where she hopefully won't forget it.
☁ GOOD JOB : whenever seungeon does something good, jinyoung likes to pat her head in approval.
☁ COLD? HERE. : since seungeon easily gets sick, jinyoung has a habit of draping one of his hoodies on her. seungeon usually forgets to bring a hoodie for herself so jinyoung always has a hoodie on standby.
☁ *RING RING* : seungeon's ringtone for jinyoung is the first opening from the anime, psycho-pass. the anime was the first one that they watched together so seungeon is always reminded of that time when he calls her. the song is abnormalize by ling tosite sigure.
☁ NO NICKNAME? : for some odd reason *wink wink*, seungeon doesn't seem to have a nickname for jinyoung. maybe it's because she always sees him or it could be something else. even though jinyoung doesn't particularly like nicknames, he's confused as to why he doesn't have one; he's a little jealous that other people get them, but he's not going to admit that. well, at least seungeon remembers his name.
☁ PURE UNREQUITED LOVE : seungeon does not know whether jinyoung has feelings for her or not. but even if he doesn't like her in that way and rejects her, she'll just hold in the pain and ask him to continue being her friend. him being in her life is more important than being a romantic relationship. as for her feelings, seungeon's quite pure about them. she doesn't really care about looks, it's the personality that steals her heart and well, jinyoung's stole her heart. his smile is what seungeon loves the most about him, because there's almost always a meaning behind it.
☁ DON'T BE STUPID. : whatever seungeon's negative thoughts get to her, jinyoung flicks her forehead. he then lectures her about how she shouldn't be so hard on herself.
☁ I'M HERE. : whenever seungeon has an art show, you can always find jinyoung in the background. even though he complains about how boring they are, he's always there to support seungeon. to be honest, jinyoung's a fan of seungeon's webtoon. he thinks it's pretty funny and was shocked how different is was compared to seungeon's personality. i mean the main character has a horrid swearing habit while seungeon's particularly a saint, so you kind of get surprised. never expected seungeon to have a bad side.
BACKUP — another applicant would be nice.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF JOOYOUNG AND JINYOUNG? WHO DO YOU LIKE BETTER?
— "J-JOOYOUNG SEEMS NICE, I MEAN I ONLY KNOW HIM THROUGH JINYOUNG SO I DON'T PERSONALLY KNOW HIM THAT WELL. WHEN WE FIRST MET, HE MADE A PICKUP LINE ABOUT CATS AND IT WAS VERY DISTURBING. JINYOUNG HAD TO COVER MY EARS AND YELL AT HIM." seungeon fiddles her fingers, shaking her head to get rid of the unsettling memory. "JINYOUNG'S ONE OF MY ACTUAL FRIENDS SO WE GET ALONG QUITE WELL. HE HELPED ME GET SETTLED DURING MY FRESHMAN YEAR OF COLLEGE." seungeon slowly nods to herself. "I DON'T ESSENTIALLY LIKE HIM BETTER THAN JOOYOUNG, BUT JINYOUNG'S MY FRIEND SO...P-PLEASE DON'T HATE ME, JOOYOUNG." seungeon stands up quickly to bow at a ninety-degree angle.
DO YOU HAVE ANY WORK EXPERIENCE AND/OR ARE YOU CURRENTLY WORKING?
— "W-WELL, I USED TO WORK AT A PET SHOP UNTIL THEY FIRED ME BECAUSE I COULDN'T STOP PLAYING WITH THE KITTIES. THEY SAID I DID A GREAT JOB INFORMING PEOPLE ABOUT HOW TO TAKE CARE OF CATS. BUT MANY OF THE CUSTOMERS WOULD COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW I WOULDN'T STOP CUDDLING THE CATS." seungeon sheepishly rubs the back of her neck. "SINCE THAT INCIDENT, I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLES FINDING A JOB. I THINK THEY TOLD EVERYONE ELSE TO BEWARE OF ME. P-PLEASE GIVE ME A JOB, I NEED TO FEED MY TWO CATS." seungeon pleads with pitiful looking eyes.
CATS. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF CATS.
— "I HAVE A DEEP BURNING PASSION FOR CATS." seungeon says strongly and confident. "IF THERE'S ANYTHING TO KNOW ABOUT CATS, I PROBABLY KNOW IT. CATS ARE MY LIFE. I LOVE THEM WITH ALL OF MY HEART." seungeon puts her clenched fist on her chest with pride.
HOW DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT PURRFECT? IS PURRFECT A GREAT NAME OR WHAT.
— "OH WELL, JINYOUNG TOLD ME ABOUT IT. HE SAID IT WOULD LIKE HEAVEN FOR ME. I REALLY NEEDED A JOB SO I TOOK JINYOUNG'S ADVICE AND SEIZED THE OPPORTUNITY...TO SEE THE CATS...UHM, I MEAN FOR MONEY." seungeon regretfully laughed, rubbing the back of her neck again. "THE NAME SEEMS CUTE. I KIND OF LIKE IT. I'M SORRY, JINYOUNG."
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU ACCIDENTALLY BURN YOUR TOAST?
— "B-BUT HOW DO YOU BURN TOAST? ALL YOU DO IS WAIT FOR THE TOAST TO JUMP UP." seungeon scratches her head in confusion. "WELL, I GUESS I WOULD JUST SCRAP THE BURNT PART OFF WITH A KNIFE AND SPREAD SOME JELLY ON IT."
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS, SUGGESTS OR REQUESTS?
— hopefully, you like the seungeon's innocent soul, oh lord. regarding any scene requests, it would be cute to see seungeon struggle with her feelings for jinyoung. lol, i'm so horrible to my own character, but it's all for character improvement. as for the cats' names, black stripy cat = salem, white cat with spots = pumpkin, and the brown cat = speckle. lol these names are too basic, i'm sorry! also, jinyoung doesn't have to be seungeon's love interest; it can be another applicant.
