IF I LET GO OF YOUR HAND,
apperance - Miyoung wears the school uniform normally enough, just adding belts, earrings, hair accessories, and neck accessories (not at once of course, or else she'll look too overdressed for school). Most, if not all, of her accessories are usually very expensive.

Outside of school, she doesn't have a definite style. She's the type of girl who wears anything in any style, any pattern and any color as long as they're fashionable. However shorts, skirts and dresses are her favorites. She only wears pants when it's necessary - or if it fits the outfit better

personality -
+ Big-Hearted, loyal, open, observant
+/- possessive, passionate, Ambitious
- cunning, manipulative, Narcissistic, Secretive


Miyoung is a big-hearted person. She's compassionate and understanding, causing her to be one of the most sought out people by everyone. She's also quite open - she doesn't judge anyone at first sight and always keeps an open mind. However, no matter how kind or non-judgemental, she's cunning and manipulative - she doesn't lie but directs and tricks people using the truth. She lovingly smiles while plotting her opponent's demise, using honeyed words and deceptions to destroy them  with a gentle serenity that was eerie. Sometimes, people don't know she's manipulating them until it's too late, or even never. She knows how to twist things in the right ways to help achieve her ambitious dreams. She wants to pick the right guy who will help her expand and make the Nam Company into an international business empire. She will stop at nothing, unless it's illegal (but for Nams, it's only illegal if you get caught), to achieve her goals. She's also very observant, and she likes to use it to see what makes people tick. Aside from the less than good uses, she also uses it to understand people's problems so she doesn't accidentally step on a landmine (on the other hand, purposefully is quite fine if she really has to).

She's a passionate person - she loves and hates with all her heart. And if she's intesrested in something, she pours her whole being into it. What a Nam wants, a Nam gets. Because of her passionate personality, Miyoung's loyalty is seriously off the charts. She's also really possessive as all Nam tend to be.

Miyoung's also quite the narcissist. She likes making sure she always looks amazing no matter the event. She once camped outdoors and did all the dirty work but her outfit, hair and makeup were still on point - everyone still wonders how she did it. Because she's a Nam, she can be quite secretive. It gives her an air of mystery which causes people to be intrigued but also causes them to be too intimidated by her to actually be her friend.
background - The Nams are a wealthy but down-to-earth family. They donate to charity, are law-abiding citizens, help in the community and even enroll their children in normal schools instead of sending them off to private ones. The quirkiest thing about them is their strong leanings towards the martial arts, especially the males. Feminists are in a state of distaste with the family, stemming from the fact that the women seem to not do any work at all.

It's because the Nams want people to think their women are weak and meek. It's been a tradition in the family to have the women pretending to be humble, demure housewives, while the men take charge publicly. In reality, though the men do have a lot of power, the women are the guiding force behind them - "behind every strong man is an even stronger woman". The women are the shadows supporting the men's light.

Growing up, Miyoung is totally a Nam woman. She grew up excelling in martial arts but preferss to hide it like all Nam women. That doesn't mean she goes around defenseless though - she knows how to hide different weapons under her clothes. Sometimes, even her accessories are her weapons.

family -

father - Nam Junhee - 46 - Junhee is the strong, strict father. Despite being known as the cold and aloof CEO of the Nam Company, he's very loving towards his daughter and wife. He had fallen in love with Narae, his sweet but hot-tempered sunbae. It took him a while to woo her but he made it. He's quite happy with his family, even though he would have liked a son. His daughter is his princess and little girl.

Mother - Kwon Narae - 48 - Narae is a sweet woman, though more hot tempered than her daughter. She also has a more obvious sharp tongue when she's angry. Despite that, she does brilliantly as the shadow co-CEO of the Nam Company. Truthfully, in the past, she never would have thought she would be the co-CEO of a company and married to someone younger than her. She and her daughter are pretty close.

friends -

female Best Friend - Cho Ami - 17 - Ami is the only one outside of the Nams and the Kangs who truly knows Miyoung's personality. She's a sassy, pragmatic diva. She acts a lot like Miyoung's secretary - which Miyoung will most likely give her when she inherits the company as loyalty should be rewarded.

Male Best Friend/Bodyguard - Kang Mingyu - 17 - Mingyu is Miyoung's loyal bodyguard. The Kangs had pledged loyalty to Nams ages ago and even though the Nams have considered them as friends after a century of service, they still continue to be loyal protectors. He's better at martial arts than Miyoung (as all Kangs tend to be) but knows she can handle herself. He's the strong, silent type. He talks formally to her and calls her 'Miss Miyoung' - which she hates because Mingyu grew up with her and is practically her brother. Though he does know it irritates her, which is why he still does it.

other -

Favorite Teacher - Han Hunchul - 36 - The strict, severe teacher who actually knows what's going on with Miyoung. He finds amusement in watching Miyoung sway the masses with a sweet smile and warm aura. He's also her favorite teACHER AND HER HIS FAVORITE STUDENT. eVERYONE WONDERS WHY SADISTIC hUNCHUL AND sWeet Miyoung get along quite well.

school life - In general, Miyoung is seen as a slightly quirky, slightly ostentatious and slightly narcissistic but honestly sweet and sincere girl. She always has a gentle disposition and a warm smile on her face. Of course, that's true but there's other facets lurking underneath that smile. She is dangerous. That doesn't mean she has bad inentions towards anyone but it just means she can and will hurt someone if they hurt her.
She is also good at everything. Not necessarily the best, but still good enough to catch people's eyes. She's ranked 5th in her year and she's pretty athletic but not the star athlete. She prides being the social butterfly and being gifted in the arts - including music. Of course, like every other Nam woman, Miyoung's hidden martial arts is her pride and joy.
YOU SHINE IN THIS PITCH DARKNESS
Love interest - another applicant. Miyoung is looking for a man who is strong - physically, mentally and emotionally - with an intriguing personality. He doesn't have to be handsome or rich or well-connected. His personality doesn't have to be too kind but never too cruel - just someone who can get along with her.

relationship - Everything depends on who you choose to be her love interest though I guess it would be someone who sees through the mask she presents and is okay with it. It would have to be someone who can deal with the fact that Miyoung hides parts of her true self and lets her do it, not telling her to change and all that.

(it would be funny if her ideal guy hates her or girls in general though lol she wouldn't give up though - what a nam wants, a nam gets.)

THAT IS THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT
1. how do you know about the 'butterfly murders' from the past?
A: "Who doesn't know about it?" her voice was soft and sad, eye downcast, "Even people new to the town would immediately be informed. It's simply that much of a horror."

2. how would you react to have to play the game?
a: A dangerous glint gleamed in her orbs briefly before disappearing, her eyes back to being warm and kind. But when she spoke, it wasn't warm nor kind but cold and unforgiving. It was a scary sight, especially since she was still smiling and her eyes were still so caring. "If I had to play the game, I would do my best to survive. If I happen to be loyal to one or more of them, then we will all survive. Nothing more, nothing less." 'I won't just survive, I'll win'. 
Here, her tone turned back to normal, but with a more playful edge. "Oh, but this is just all hypothetical isn't it?"

3. would they be willing to help find the killer?
a: "Of course I will," her tone was strong and unyielding, "I may not know those who died but they deserve to let their souls rest in peace."

4. how would they react to knowing their teacher played this game before?
a: "Absolutely nothing." her voice was neutral but the sly smile - which most would pass of as shy - on her face spoke volumes. 'Just a little bit of blackmail, of course.'

5. how would they help to force their teacher to help them?
a: "I would ask," her tone was light and gentle but if one paid close attention, they can hear the darker undertone. 'Asking'? More like triccking their teacher.

6. choose between these - loyalty vs survival?
a: "If I do play the game, it would depend on my fellow players," She admitted, "If I have no loyalty to any of them, then I'll choose survival but if I do... well, I would stick with them through thick and thin."

7. choose between these - lies vs truth?
a: "A half truth. As much as I like honesty, sometimes it's not appropriate."

8. choose between these - friendship vs love?
a: "Isn't that both?" She looked a bit confused, "When I'm friends with someone, I'll love them in a friendly way. So my answer is both."

9. choose between these - risk vs safe?
a: "Again, this depends. Safety is boring and I do like to spice up my life every now and then but if the risk is too dangerous then safety it is."

10. choose between these - slow vs fast?
a: "Once again, this depends on the situation. Sometimes, thinking things thoruhg before doing it is the best but sometimes going through it as fast as you can is also good."

11. How do they feel about someone abandoning their friends to save their own life?
a: Her tone was cold and dangerous, full of disgust at the thought, "A Nam values loyalty above all. We consider people who betray trust as cowards and bastards." She looked apologetic about the slip of tongue but totally serious about the other parts.
