story of my life

birth name: choo jinri < 추진리 >

other names: 

< jenni choo + 제니추 > it was her english alias used when she was still in california with her parents. now that she's back in korea, most people just refer to with her korean name, and her english name is now rather exclusive to her friends back in the states and her parents.

 

< jimmy choo + 지미추 > perhaps it was how similar her name sounds to the renowned fashion designer, or that both of them happened to be of asian roots despite their hometown being in a foreign country. either ways, "jimmy choo" was tossed around often whenever her name was called in school. even though she wasn't fond of the name, the name remains as a nostalgic piece of memory from her childhood that she mindlessly dashed through.

 

< , whote etc + 걸레같은 년 > how the people in her school use this name is anything but discreet despite the fact that no one has yet to call her that in front of her. the nickname is used most commonly as they gossip about her, or when they pass her by in school, throwing her a dirty look before they continue to speculate the origin of her baby boy. whether it's to taunt her, or because they're too busy bad-mouthing about her, it got to her. but she doesn't say anything about it because who is she to say anything when she did indeed get pregnant before even finishing high school. she can only deep her head in shame when she hears the name, acting as a constant reminder of how badly she screwed up.

 

< joongki's mother + 중기 엄마 > despite the mention of her son's name, jinri knows that the name carries no malice whatsoever, not when the people who commonly use it are the neighbourhood elderlies and joongki's pre-school teachers.

 

< jinri-ah + 진리 아 > having only a few friends, their creativity for endearing nicknames is really limited. thus, they don't wreck their heads over it and opt for a simple, "jinri-ah" instead.

 

birthday: 16 december 1996 + 20 years old ( int ), 21 years old ( kor )

ethnicity: korean

timeline: 

< california + birth to ten years old >

< songpa + ten years old to 18 years old >

 

languages: 

< fluent english > born and raised in california, jinri considers her native language to be english. with that said, she is fluent in the langauge.

 

< semi-fluent korean > on the other hand, jinri has lost pretty much all of her korean roots. her understanding for the language was only re-established when she moved back to south korea to live with her grandmother.

 

occupation: 

< college student > jinri is currently a first year student with a major in bio-science and a minor in arts at hongik university. compared to the kids in her class, jinri is a year older because she was held back during her last year of high school.

 

< odd job part-timer > jinri also does pick up odd jobs to make up for the lack of living expenses provided by her father, from morning newspaper and milk delivery to part time at convenient shops and groceries around the corner, she has done it all.

 

current residency: 

< hongdae of seoul > jinri currently stays in a small rented apartment with two rooms, it's small and isn't quite well conditioned but cozy and warm enough for the family of two.

you don't know you're beautiful

face claim: choi jinri < 최진리 >

backup face claim: kim dasom < 김다솜 >, park boram < 박보람 >

measurements: i feel like there's a need to explain her height and weight? so yeap

< 165cm, 46kg + 16.9, underweight > two reasons: 1. between using her free time, when she isn't working or studying, to focus on her basic needs and spend time with joongki, she would much rather the latter. 2. she's struggling to even buy joongki's milk formula, let alone her own meals.

 

appearance: 

< in all your beauty and grace, i stand > as if she just stepped out of an asian  rendition of snow white and the seven dwarfs, jinri takes great resemblance to the disney character, snow white, almost as if the character was based off her. choo jinri is pretty: as problematic as her current life might be, its no lie to say that she's a real head turner, with her jet black locks that pour over the gentle curves of her shoulder, stopping just a little below her chest, contrasts vastly against her white as snow skin. though already in her twenties, her peers struggle to keep up with her age given that god granted baby face of her's: blessed with deep brown orbs that glimmer under light and pouty kissable lips with a slight tint of pink to them. at a glance, you'd probably never, in your wildest dreams, think that she's beared a child before. despite being underweight for her height, jinri has just the right amount of curves in the right place, this is mainly due to her pregnancy.

 

fashion style: 

< your simplicity graces me > jinri's idea of fashion is really just lumps of different materials sewed together that is pulled over her head to cover her body such that it is appropriate to the eyes of other's. in other words, fashion means nothing to choo jinri. she has neither the finance, interest nor time to expand into the more detailed definition of it and frankly, she can die not knowing it. that said, jinri's clothes are often dull and bland looking, almost as if she's trying to hide away from all attention with her fashion sense. most of her clothes are cotton and free-size ( usually bigger than necessary ) because of her pregnancy; after which, she couldn't bring herself to throw away any of her maternal clothes because they weren't to the point of ragged, it would be a waste to throw them away. so, yes, she still does wear a lot of her maternal clothes ( which by actual definition, really isn't materal clothes, they're just larger t-shirts ). while she doesn't take interest in fashion, her fashion sense isn't all too eye-catching terrible - she does know of the unspoken rules of fashion that she should never break.

and the night changes

traits: 

< aww > mature, nuturing, sincere

independent < meh > discreet, amiable

aloof, dubious, narrow minded < eww >

 

elaboration: 

< like snow; beautiful, but cold > with the intent to warm you up on a chilly winter morning, her gentle features grace her profile like a cup of hot cocoa. but jinri is everything but a warm cup of cocoa. constantly wearing that unpleasant frown  on her face, with her eyebrows furrowing a little and lips pressed together, she just knows that if her grandmother were still alive, she would be nagged at so much. to most of her male classmates, jinri appears refreshing and rather fiesty: a girl with a face of a fairytale character, yet her words like the sword of the villian. jinri generally shuts everyone out, so if she happens to glare at you when you choose to sit next to her in class, don't take it too personally. that said, jinri does not socialize.
