MASK." oh, so you've heard of sera, huh. what do you think she's like." 

— so you think you know sera. sera, the new girl. sera, the social butterfly. sera, the clumsy idiot. maybe you're looking a little too close to realize the flaws around the sides of her jawline then. the mask she wears so well in school. the mask that could have been very well, who she used to be before her world was turned upside down. the nice, friendly new girl that greets everyone in the hallway, who appears to know everyone, with the affectionate skinship she offers every individual. the bright, bubbly aura she exudes in school is just simply too tempting to resist becoming acquaintances with her. besides, she can be a real joker too, with the amount she falls, slips or trips on a daily basis. things don't stop there. it's as if she's got a perfect life. clean records, relatively pretty face and popularity. maybe missing out a lil on the intelligence quotient? eh, who knows. rumours were that she aced all her tests in the first term, but who can ever take her seriously anyway. she fails half her subjects for two terms in a row, but still maintains positivity that she's able to score well some day. she agrees to everything people say, reflecting how casual she can be. in addition to why no one can take her seriously for once, i quote her, "i swear guys, i'm psychic. it's like i've got espn or something. it's a secret between us alright! don't tell anyone else."

HALF-MASKED."i saw her once with her clubmates. she was, hm, different?"

— of course you can't always expect her facade to be at top notch condition. her flaws show off more and chips even more when you don't need to get a good look at her face to remember he features. and who would those be. those that have been around her for too long. she's a little clumsy and sloppy in this aspect too. people start realizing how much privacy she keeps to herself. how she tends to avoid questions pertaining to herself or her family. it's weird how she never ever hangs out after school, with the exclusion of club activities, and goes straight home everyday too. maybe she isn't as warm and close as you think. a tad bit of mystery strains her aura even. there's more than what meets the eye, our dearest main actress in her own play just isn't quite inclined to show any of it. even if you're interested to know, work hard on breaking down her walls. "haha, like i said, there's nothing interesting about my family in the slightest. oh! look at the time! weren't you supposed to pick your little brother up from school today? you're gonna be late!"

UNMASKED. "wait how did she know that. i didn't even tell her that i have a brother."

— her mask only comes apart after stepping into the empty apartment, she calls home. she reveals the jaded form beneath. a soft sigh followed by the massaging of her cheekbones. just how much did she have to force smiling again today. well, that was the least of her concerns. she had a share of fun today, pushing others buttons. giving them a little incentive just gets them so riled up with all the tiny whispers "she's so nice." "sera's such a kind soul" "i'm blessed to have a friend like her." little did they know. oh, humans. school is merely a petting zoo for her who plays in the wilderness daringly, the internet. unlike her carefree state in school, she's busy working on her father's case. she's really not as dumb as everyone thinks, in fact, she's a pretty well-known hacker online, black swan, that's her alias. other than that, she'd be plotting on how to make use of tomorrow and who to stick to next just in case her sloppy ways are exposed. don't worry, she's kind enough not to bother you for help with whatever revenge she's plotting. "hm, schooling was never my priority in the first place. it's hilarious how a simple smile and greeting gets everyone thinking that i'd like being acquainted with them or something. as dense as i expected anyway. hah. mhm, i'd say playing those mystery freaks into helping me was a mere plus. these crimes in beomjo could be related to the gang too. so long they don't screw my plans up, they could stay useful."

trivia.

— absolute relationship , young child hasn't even kissed a boy yet but still hella affectionate with everyone. she loves hugs and cuddle the best.

— her favorite color is a soft baby pink, the colour she sees when her mother speaks to her.

— starts to tug on the lower ends of her hair when lying to people she doesn;t want to lie to.

— wants to try having her hair dyed and bleached into different colors some day.

— has a necklace that strings up both of her parents' marriage rings, she wears it around her neck, and never takes it off unless necessary, it's that important to her.

— used to hack as a hobby, since she was alone at home for most part of the time. and man was it fun hacking into your dad's law firm's security wall, gaining insight on different cases. now she does it professionally, to prove her dad's innocence and earn money for a living.

— doesn't actually watch drama serials, but to relate to others and socialize she efficiently catches up by reading reviews and summaries, allowing her to grasp most important parts 

— has a form of synthesia, namely chromesthesia, the association of colours with sounds. this causes her to blurt out a random color sometimes, much to others confusion. different sounds come with different colors.there are a whole wide variation. thus, she's able to tell the sounds apart, or form linkages, if the sound colors are similar. could come in handy sometimes when searching for people.

— she remembers seeing the color bright crimson red when her father had put someone he called "big boss" on loudspeaker just before he was put in jail.

— ends up talking to inanimate objects sometimes. they dont reply, they're better than humans she states.

— used to aspire to be a lawyer just like her father, but after everything that happened, she wasn't so sure anymore. being a hacker is pretty much illegal after all. the irony if she got caught.

— fears swimming and deep pools of water. she almost drowned once in the sea, she's definitely not stepping into water again, even with assistance. just no.

— is an avid fan of mythologies. the egyptian gods. the greek gods. she loves them a lot, and has a lot of reference material about them in her bookshelf. her personal favorite is athena. 

— she's not exactly afraid of people realizing her "unmasked" self persay. she could simply destroy their lives through social media with the click of a few buttons. eh, whatever, those dimwits can't pull any dirt on her anyway.

— forged her parents' signatures and documents multiple times to enroll into this school. photoshop definitely helped a lot, she added.

— candy is always her alternative to destress, but surprisingly she never ever gets fattened by it, and still maintains a near underweight bmi.

— is allergic to nuts, that's why she gives out a lot of treats since most of them may contain traces of nuts. her classmates in america had given her a bunch, probably not knowing her allergy, to share it with her future classmates in korea.  

— she lives alone, in a 2-room apartment. her mom had been murdered back in america when a reported burglary happened. her father was then devastated and had devoted himself to alcohol, causing him to go hysteric, losing him his work permit and law firm. upon returning to korea, they had headed for their hometown beomjo. yet, her father had somehow gotten involved with a messy case of drug-dealing and got himself arrested, leaving sera alone.

— in all truth, that's what it seemed like on the outside, but sera had done enough flipping to realize there had been a connection with all the happenings some how. they had all led up to the particular mafia gang her dad had been caught selling drugs for. her father probably knew too, but the way he tried to get evidence was just too sloppy. it wasn't effective at all. sera knows that she has to keep a low profile just in case. what she does know though, their family had somehow been caught in a crossfire between 2 international gangs and she was definitely getting her revenge. one was situated in beomjo now, and she was not letting them get away. she is now working on getting evidence against them. and if all else fails, she'll stain her own hands if she has to.

— it seems sera's father had taken on a case that might have potentially shut down an entire mafia traid by proving their involvement in various illegal doings. but, it so happened, the night before he was supposed to be in court to bring them down once and for all, his wife had been shot. but to be honest, the possibilities are wide for more than the mafia to be involved. perhaps assasination organizations? who knows what else there could be.

— she was only able to probably deal with her mother's death calmly after her father was arrested. "there's no point in sitting around wishing she were still alive. that's not going to change anything. i'd rather be up working on avenging her death." 

— has a book with compilations of the people she meets in school and outside, more or less compiled from her memory, just for the sake of it. you never know when it might come in handy. if you need to blackmail someone maybe.

    

                       

                              

   
love interest. lucius yoo (played by svt's vernon)
backup love interest. a club member or none.

personality. cautious, understanding, patient, helpful, eloquent, quirky, teasing, hopeless romantic.

the love story. the two had met back in new york. sera was still very much struggling with her english at that time of age seven. she even had trouble asking for the directions to the specific she was supposed to be in, her words ending up with inconsistent korean blabbering. lucky enough as she was, this particular boy walked up to her with a cheeky chuckle going all, "i'll take you.". it amazed her how he could understand her incoherent words. pastel orange, was his color. she had only learned after a five-minute walk with him that he was half-korean, half-american. there was no reason a friendship wouldn't spark there. they even lived across the street from each other. on normal days, sera would share about her days in korea and he'd improve her pronounciation. their families being close meant interaction between the two. sometimes sera would go over, sometimes lucius would come over. the two were really close to the point their mothers would joke about marrying them, and stuck together for most part of the time like glue throughout sera's stay in america.
