AGE ) 24
BIRTHDAY ) January 16th

BIRTH PLACE ) Busan, South Korea
HOMETOWN ) Seoul, South Korea

ETHNICITY ) Korean
LANGUAGES )

APPEARANCE ) She doesn't really have any differences with face claim, other than the piercings in her ear, she has four in her left ear and two in her right. She's 165 cm, 48 kg.

STYLE ) Her style is modern, casual and simple. She's not exactly a fashonista even though she does follow some of the trends. She chooses pants over skirts, she's a sweater lover. She also has a rather basic palette of colours in her closets, she doesn't enjoy bright and vivid colours. If you'd look through her clothes, most of it is either white, black, grey or navy with few claret, beige and brown exceptions. As for accessories, again, she chooses simplicity and practicality, she has a lot of backpacks and bags both. She doesn't mind wearing sneakers with suit pants, she's not really a high heel lover but she'd wear them (quite clumsily if I may add, because she's not used to it). She wears her hair either in a plain ponytail or just loose.

Han Se Ri has always been known as a firecracker, she wasn't going to let anybody stomp over her, starting in first grade, when she was solving boy problems with her fists. She has always had a ridiculously high self-confidence and was never hiding it. She's the absolute opposite of modest. Thanks to that resolute trust to herself, she has always been a leader, maybe not the best one, considering how pushy she tends to be, and also the fact that she often ignores other people's opinions and ideas. Seri isn't also the shy type, when she comes into the room, you know it. Despite her mediocre height, her presence and personality are striking, making her a character of her own, if you add her witty (and often mean) comments and (sometimes at least) logical arguments, she's a hard opposition to go against.

Since the young age she knew quite well, what she wanted to do and she was going to get there at all costs. Despite her parents wishes, she was going to choose what was best for her, not the family business. She was never that well academically, but she has always been rather witty and maybe cunning more than book smart, she did work hard on her grades though and managed to get ranked at number 5 (at her peak) in school. She's quite a cynic, she has a very unpopular opinions on a lot of topics, going especially against Korean culture (her outlook on seniority/age system, religion, group vs individual needs etc.), but still she's not afraid to talk about her beliefs (or rather basically shoving them into other people's throats). She's very doubtful and mistrustful towards everybody she meets and despite being quite outspoken and being able to easily talk to people, it takes her a lot of time to get really close to someone and stop suspecting them of bad intentions. She tends to get mad easily, she also has her mood swings, depending on whether she has eaten already or not, the same thing applies to her behaviour towards other people. She's often quite mean and doesn't care whether she hurts feelings, one of her most common phrases is "get over it". She's a very strong person, mentally I mean, because her physical strength is rather pathetic. She tends to look down on people, especially from Busan, or people whom she sees as weak, the ones who don't have their own opinions and are too naive.

Besides all that, Han Se Ri is a wall. She's a person often send to do the job that nobody else can do as she's stubborn and persistent enough for people to not be able to say no to her (or rather they may say no, but only about fourteen times before she tires them out). She seems fearless to most people, mostly because she's more scared of failure than she has ever been of heights or spiders, she actually doesn't mind either one of those. She's also not very emotional or romantic and love has never been her priority.

PAST ) Seri is the middle daughter in her family, but she's nothing like a stereotypical middle child, she has always had the strongest personality out of all of the kids in Han household, she was bossing her sisters around since the moment she discovered the power of blackmail. Her parents own a well-propering restaurant in Busan, that is famous for oldschool, Korean seafood and fish dishes, it's been in her family for decades, starting with her great grandfather, who opened it when he was only 26. Probably because of her personality, she has always been seen by her parents (and grantparents) as a person to take over family business, she has just seemed like the right person, nobody really cared that this was about the exact opposite of what she wanted to do - be a journalist. During her school years, she didn't bother to tell her parents about her future plans and that was probably the reason as to why they've felt so betrayed when she left to go to college in Seoul, where she later wanted to pursue her career. She has always felt like Busan was too small for her, she was the big fish in a small pond and so, she has never really felt the need to make life long friends, or even get close to her classmates. She was too busy writing, studying and helping in the family restaurant, to even have any social life. She has left Busan as soon as she has graduated from high school, and that was the reason as to why most of her family stopped talking to her. As tough as she was, she was also a human-being with feelings and those were hurt, however pride has always been stronger than any of her weaknesses so she has never tried to fix this situation. Furthermore, silent treatment could work both ways. 

PRESENT ) She lives in a small apartment in Gang Dong with a roommate, she earns enough money to live in good conditions, being reasonable with her money, she never lacks anything and is also able to keep her investment fund. She works in a small newspaper, that has recently turned more into a web portal, mostly focused on political, economical and social problems. She's a person who works both in the office, writing articles, and in the field where she's responsible for catching politicians, businessmen or just public figures that got into scandals. She has also become responsible for two interns, who are supposed to learn from her on how to be pain in the but achieve their goal (which sometimes includes hiding in bushes or climbing the fence). She's a workaholic, she loves her work and doesn't mind spending twelve or more hours a day doing it. She does have a social life, which mostly consists of karaoke or dinners with the rest of the staff, (rare) club visits with her roommate and casual meetings with men, whom she doesn't really care about. The only person from Busan whom she still talks to is her little sister, who has always been looking up to her and was probably the closest to Seri out of all family members.

FUTURE ) Seri gets a call from her little sister begging her to come back because their dad is in the hospital. It turns out that he went there couple weeks ago but until now Seri didn't know as her parents didn't want her to know. Seri's sister couldn't stand it anymore and decided to tell her or rather cry, and tell her that they need her. Since their dad went to the hospital, their mother was there almost all the time, hence their older sister and her fiance were running the restaurant and it was getting really bad as they started to make their own changes (like f.e. choosing worse, lower quality products because those were cheeper and they were greedy), loosing half of the customers. And apparently nobody is able to put an end of this, they're not listening to anybody, including their grandparents, who try to fix this. In the beginning Seri thinks that she's going to Busan only for couple days, two weeks at most, she takes a free week at work and hopes to come back as soon as possible. When she gets there however it becomes apparent that two weeks is definitely not enough and soon after she's forced to quit her job in Seoul and take the full control of restaurant as she's the only person able to control her sister (who was always scared of her) and a future brother-in-law. Her first visit to the hospital is really awkward, she hasn't spoke to her parents for years after all but eventually (after a little bit of shouting and arguing) they get on good terms. She's stuck in Busan again, where she has to basically run the business during her father recovery (he had a heart attack), trying to get it back to where it used to be. She finds out that the restaurant wasn't doing so well for quite some time, and that there is a lot to fix. She does that but she's slowly becoming more and more depressed and the perspective of her come back to Seoul seems further and further away. Which also causes her, already quite mean, demeanor, to worsen.
