Style
 eden isn't a very complicated girl. she generally follows a set of rules when dressing up that is; simple, comfortable, yet stylish. she isn't into loud and clashing colours but she does like the softness of pastel. she she mainly likes wearing flannel shirts over plain tanks and denim shorts, simple shirts paired with jeans and occasionally a crop top with a high wasited skirt. eden isn't too into heels and all that too. while she doesn't mind platforms, she finds it difficult to balance in stilettos which she's practicing currently. she's more of a sneaker and sandal girl. she's also been pretty interested in see-through clothing.

Personality Traits  positive [sweet, loving, generous, friendly, talkative] 
                            negative [sarcastic, passively angry, lazy, messy, impulsive]

Elaboration 
 at first glance, eden gives off a friendly, sweet vibe - and they're not mistaken. eden is extremely friendly and welcoming to the people she's just met and has that special ability to make almost anyone and everyone feel at home. she would have to credit that to one of the things she does the best though, and that's talking. naturally, eden is extremely talkative and can literally talk about anything under the sun, jumping from topic to topic every now and then. it makes it difficult for some people to catch on to what she's saying, since she tends to talk very fast as well. but it seems that they way she talks is really entertaining to many. sweet and generous, eden values sincerity and is willing to go that extra mile for someone special, or spend a little extra on a gift for her closest friends. she enjoys helping others, especially in orphanages as she's really good with children. eden is also really kind at heart and that makes everyone around her think she's a really sweet and caring girl. lastly, she's also loving and isn't embarrassed about expressing her love for the people around her. she believes that people tend to forget that they're loved and tries her utmost best to remind everyone that they are loved, and that someone cares about them. 
                   so far, eden sounds like the perfect girl but she has her flaws too. growing up with snarky neighbours as her best friends, eden herself has also become very sarcastic and sassy. she's often the one to be jokingly dissing others to the point that it can get rather boring, repetitive and even rude. she's been trying to correct this habit, especially now that she's an idol but her disses sometimes slip out without her realising. to make matters worse, her disses tend to be extremely insensitive and insulting and she sometimes gets scolded by the staff for them. eden is also the type to be passively angry - not to be confused with passively aggressive. when she gets mad at others, she doesn't expxress it directly to that person. instead, her attitude and behaviour towards him/her will start to show drastic changes ranging from a total ignorance to being extra rude and snarky. it gets frustrating because she denies being angry at the person, making it difficult to resolve the conflict. lazy and messy, her peers often joke that her room has been hit by a hurricane. finally, eden tends to be rather rash and impulsive and will not think twice before doing things. it can range from simple things like getting a dye job, or even more drastic things like going awol just because something personal cropped up. needless to say, eden isn't perfect. but hey, it's the imperfections that make us human, right?


Background 
 born in london, england to a korean family, eden grew up speaking english only. her parents had been so busy with their jobs in england that teaching korean to their children had completely slipped their minds and as such, eden and her siblings were not really exposed to korean culture until they started primary school. when eden started primary school, they had a small course in a foreign language. her parents, of course, chose korean for her and it was only when she failed her first ever korean test that they realised they have been neglecting teaching their children korean. as such, eden has an accent when speaking in korean because she only learnt it when she was seven.
                   at age three, her parents sent her and her sister for ballet lessons since it was the in thing to do at that time. what they didn't expect was for eden to grow to be so passionate for dance. at age ten, she was introduced to the world of kpop when her classmate got her to translate a korean article on super junior. her classmate also showed her videos of super junior's dances whiich had led to her interest in street dancing. after much googling and convincing, eden had her first ever hip hop lesson at age eleven. everything went up from then on; she started picking up waacking and urban, and even tried singing with some friends.
                  in secondary school, she joined the dance club and was appointed the assistant head in he second year. that was a special year: it was the year everything changed for her. for the heck of it, she decided to send an audition clip of her dancing freestyle to madonna's 4 minutes and singing to taylor swift's love story to cube entertainment. to her surprise, she received an invitation to be part of their training programme. her parents were rather skeptical about it at first, since they couldn't tell the authenticity of the  company. but after many videos and wikipedia pages, her parents relented and her mother followed her back to korean tentatively. it was only when she started training full time in 2010 that her parents decided to move back to korea. 
                  in school, eden isn't the smartest of the lot but she scores decently. even so, she tends to be rather insecure about sharing her results in school since there're so many idols out there scoring first in their entire cohort. the highest she's probably got is 11. her best subject is biology and her worst, math. 


Relations 
 
father / park michael / 2 / as a well-known lawyer, michael is constantly off for work and hence he isn't able to spend as much time with his family as he likes. he tries his best to have family days, but the relationship between him and his children have never been close from the start. he's also a workahollic and no matter how many times he tries to ignore his work and spend time with his family, something will happen that will have him running back to his laptop to read up on the newest case. 

— mother / lee adela / 4 / as a makeup artist with two daughters, adela is often at home sharing the latest tips and tricks in the makeup world, as well as teachig them how to properly put on makeup. as such, eden has been able to spend lots of bonding time with her mother and is generally closer to her than her father. although they're not close to the point where eden would confide in her, adela is close enough where eden can let loose and be herself around her. 
— younger twin sister / park esther / 5 / eden and esther, esther and eden. identical twins that almost literally did everything together. the only difference is that esther has absolutely no interest in being an idol; she's a dance teacher instead. still studying, esther teaches dance part time and is also the head of the dance club in her university. the two are extremely close and they have little to no secrets with one another. 
— younger brother / park elijah / 3 / being five years younger than both eden and esther, elijah doesn't really have anything in common with them and hence they just mutually ignore each other. while they do talk from time to time, its nothing but small talk and maybe about their common interests (which is next to nothing considering the fact that he's interested in psychology).
— best friend, ex-neighbour / selene wilson / 5 / the elder of the two wilsons, selene was the one that initiated contact between them and the parks. growing up as neighbours and eventually schoolmates, the park sisters are extremely close to her. even though they're in different countries, they still keep in touch often and selene has even had plans to come down to korea to visit them.
best friend, ex-neighbour / serene wilson / 5 / the younger one, serene is more into kpop than her sister and usually talks to them about the newest bands and the latest dramas. since she's still in her last year of school, selene is waiting for serene to finish before the both of them can come down to korea to visit the girls.
 close friend / hakura shun / 4 / when eden first entered, she was a little bit uncomfortable with being part of the older trainees and she was insecure about her accent in korean. when she found out that shun was american, she was so happy because she could speak in english freely without having to worry about the other not being able to understand her. they were able to converse a lot and they gradually grew closer to each other.
 friends / kim namjoo (apink) / 3 / they were both trainees together in cube before eden was dropped. they aren't super close, since there's a competitive air between trainees but they do converse whenever they meet on music shows.
— aquaintance / jung ilhoon (btob) / 1 / also trainees back in cube, they will say hi to each other when they meet, but other than that they don't really talk much.

Trainee Years  5 (she started in end 2009 so she just counts is at 2010)
Trainee Background  eden first started training in cube, with hopes of being in the next girlgroup that would be debuted by their subsidary company acube. initially, she had been transferred over to train alongside the current members of apink but had been dropped mere months before debut as they deemed her not ready. dejected, eden actually stopped dancing and singing for a while and focused on her studies instead. seeing this, her mother sourced out smaller companies that were likely to accept her and that was when she had auditioned and gotten accepted into jellyfish in mid 2012. at first, eden mostly kept to herself and focused entirely on her training; she didn't want a repeat of cube. overtime, she learnt to open up to her fellow trainees but was rather self-concious of the accent she hasn't been able to shake. after finding out that she was once a trainee in cube, the others were a little more wary of her but they treated her all the same. as such, her trainee life was rather uneventful. since eden was well trained in dance, she didn't have much problem adapting to the dance and physical training excercises. however, she particularly found great trouble in adapting to singing lessons as she doesn't have the best vocal range nor the longest breath. she gets frustrated when she can't hit the higher notes and when she's unable to hold one.

Love Interest  cha hakyeon / n
Backup 
 jung taekwoon / leo
Group 
 vixx
Age  25

Personality  hakyeon tends to come off as a really arrogant guy thanks to his penchant for praising himself a lot. he doesn't think of it as self-praise but rather just affirming himself in whatever he does well in. which according to him, is almost everythng under the sun ("except math, urgh, math"). however, when you get to know him, hakyeon is really sweet and caring. he wholly supports his fellow members in whatever that they do, be it musicals, unit groups or drama/movie filmings. he's the type to act like an actual fan, buying albums, going for fansigns and even waiting in line to watch their perfomances at music shows. motherly, hakyeon cares greatly for everyone's health and will never stop nagging at s to get sufficient rest even when he's the one with the darkest and heaviest eye bags.
                  hakyeon is also extremely hardworking, sometimes too hardworking. as a perfectionist, he's consantly pushing himself to be better than he was before. this however tends to have adverse effects on his heatlh and fitness as he's known to skip meals just for practice. although he doesn't show it, hakyeon is actually rather sensitive to what he hears about him and genuinely gets hurt when the members' insult sound sincere enough. although he tries to brush it off, he can't forget the poisonous words of others. it poses as a problem to eden especially because of her sarcastic nature and he is also one of the main driving forces that she has to stop being so snarky.


Nicknames 
 yeonyeon / isn't really used unless hakyeon's in distress and eden's trying to comfort him. it's rather rude since hakyeon is older than her but he finds comfort in the pet name. 

The First Meet 
 when eden first entered, vixx had just debuted not too long ago. thus, the members were visitng the trainees to give them little pep talks and encouragements as they continue training for an indefinite period of time. since jellyfish is a small company, almost every trainee is friends with someoen else. even if they weren't close, they would at least know such a trainee existed. hence when n noticed the new face, he approached her to ask her about when and how she had joined the company.
The Interactions 
 hakyeon is always greeting eden with something in english. be it a "hey what's up man? i mean... uh... woman?" or "yo my girlfriend!" he's constantly joking about his terrible english and how he wishes to improve it. eden however tells him to focus on his japanese so that he can be the one tranlsating japanese fan messages and she'll translate the english ones. they're generally really playful and friendly with each other, still in their "honeymoon stages" of their relationship despite being together for over a year. it's because they don't get to meet up often so their relationship progresses rather slowly. for most of the time they're together, they spend it in the practice rooms dancing. as they both have a passion for dance and choreography, they love coming up with new dances together. 
The Relationship 
 a cute couple :3

The Ending 
 they continue on as a couple and if this reaches far enough into the future, marriage and parenthood
