PERSONALITY TRAITS — +modest, +humble, +independent, =quiet, =outspoken, -shy, -cold, -vulnerable
ELABORATION —
• whenever jeri is praised or congratulated for anything, or even just complimented for having nice hair, she will always just brush it off, or give the credit to someone else when she can. Although she does secretly love the praise, she hates the rare times when she is the center of attention. This is why she is always stepping back and letting others have her time under the spotlight.
• she is a very shy person, meaning that she isn't the one to strike up a conversation, or even reply to someone when they say hi. She is very quiet, and when someone speaks to her, she will usually just stare at them, and this means that to others, she seems quite rude and cold, but in reality she is just shocked that someone is actually talking to her, and she just doesn't know what to say.
• ever since she was young, jeri has learnt to become very independent, and she doesn't need to rely on anyone else. Because of her upbringing, and some of the harsh things she has heard, she is very vulnerable, and she is easily hurt. and due to her shyness, she is often outspoken, but she accepts when others speak for her, and is often grateful when other people talk for her.
BACKGROUND + CURRENT EVENTS —
• jeri's parents were both involved in a car crash when she was only four years old. Her father had been driving the car, and he had survived with only minor injuries, but unfortunately her mother died. Out of self blame and guilt, her father became a drunk, drowning his miseries with alcohol. As jeri grew older, she began to look more like her mother, which caused her father to hate her even more, and he had no problem insulting his own daughter with harsh words. Jeri hated her father, as he did nothing but hurt her, and as soon as she turned seventeen, she moved out, deciding to live on her own in an apartment. She had gone from job to job since she was thirteen, and since she had saved up all her money, she had just enough for the first six months of rent. she dropped school, getting a full time job as an assistant chef at SGT. Peppers. It is barely enough to live on, but she makes do with what she gets.
 
RELATIONSHIPS — 
• mother - sung hyemin (26 when she died) - deceast - bright, charming, gracious - the only memory jeri has of her mother was on her fourth birthday, and jeri had thought that a cotton ball was candy floss. When she put it in , hyemin had laughed and playfully scolded her daughter after, telling her that it was not candy floss after all. It was a very happy memory for jeri.
• father - sung yongjoon (43) - jobless - selfish, guilt-ridden, weak - after his wife died, yongjoon closed off from everyone, even his own daughter. Although jeri hates her father, she also pities him, and so she checks in on him once everyday to make sure that he is still alive. On a lucky day, he will be passed out on his chair in the living room, and if that is the case, she will do a little tidy of the house. The majority of the time though, he is awake and is always insulting jeri, and although she will never cry in front of her father, she will cry herself to sleep some nights, wishing for her mother to still be alive.
TRIVIA
• she fears public speaking, and being interviewed. She had a nightmare once of being interviewed, and she had froze up, and she woke up crying.
• she secretly wishes sergeant was her real father.
• she doesn't smile.
• she would never kill anything, even a bug, and instead she might even strike up a conversatio with them.
• jeri feels more comfortable talking to animals because she knows they won't talk back.
WHY DO YOU FREQUENT SGT.PEPPER'S? — she works there, and because sergeant is one of the few who knows about jeri's living conditions, he practically forces her to have dinner there every night for free.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT SERGEANT & JUDE? — she thinks that sergeant is the greatest man in the world, and jeri looks up to him alot. She is very thankfull towards the sergeant for giving her a job and making sure she never goes home hungry. Sometimes when she sees jude, jeri will give jude a pat on his back, although he hisses at her and on the rare occasion even scratches at her legs.
 
WHAT ARE THE BEST THINGS IN YOUR LIFE? — she doesn't know right now. maybe it would be her life at SGT. Peppers. it's kind of her home away from home.
WHAT ARE YOU STRUGGLING WITH RIGHT NOW? — money. She can't move back in with her father, because that would be her living hell right now, and money is tough. Also just her father in general. It is hard for her to come up with the will to go and visit him, although she knows that she should. She is also struggling with trying to find her own voice and have more confidence to actually talk to people.
WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE IN 10 YEARS TIME? — she has no idea. Jeri is too concerned about the present to be worrying about the future. The only thing she does know is that she wants to be happy.
 
LOVE INTERESTkwon soonyoung
PERSONALITY — 
• soonyoung is a big ball of happiness. he is quite arogant alot of the time, and sometimes he just doesn't know when to shut his mouth, but that is why alot of people like him. He is very sociable and friendly, and is very considerate of other people. he knows that he is the best (or at least that's what he thinks anyways). But despite being a big ball of fun, he does have his insecurities, and he uses his enthusiastic demeanour to hide them from the rest of the world.
LOVE STORY
• they haven't met yet, but will at 'the lonely hearts club'. At first meeting, jeri doesn't like soonyoung at all and she finds him just a bit too much. Soonyoung made annoying jeri a habit, and because they were both completely opposite, it was a very trying time for jeri. But after a while, they became good friends (to everyone elses surprise). No one was expecting the two of them to get along, but they did like yin and yang. They balance each other out, soonyoung bringing out the confidence in jeri, and jeri managed to calm down soonyoung. They get to the stage when they can share their problems with each other, and carry each others burdens. There isn't really much romance in their relationship. Sure they will share the odd kiss here and there, but they are more like soulmates than anything else.
FINAL WORDS
hey there! So I hope you like my character! This applyfic sounds so amazing and I just hope that jeri gains a spot in it. I'm sorry if I got a bit too carried away with her sad past or anything, but I wanted her to have lots of room to grow and become a better person through 'the lonely hearts club'.  i would really love to see her personality traits to change into a more confident and social person :) 
 
SCENE SUGGESTIONS —
• soonyoung encourages jeri to confront her father, and things get a bit emotional. Jeri's father agrees to go to rehab.
• soonyoung and jeri are having an intimate talk (about whatever you want it to be about), and he says to her, "trust me."
• a trip to the beach!
• for soonyoung to be the one to make jeri smile for the first time in years.
