nicknames.

Loony Young - She's seen as quite crazy. Sooyoung believes in anything (God, gods, mythical creatures, supernatural creatures, etc) and never hides the fact. She also makes a lot of conspiracy theories. Her odd accessories also contributtes to this nickname.
Luna Lovegood - Her serene, flighty demeanor and strange habits make her the real life, Korean version of the "Harry Potter" character.
Poppet - Her pseudonym. Poppet is the girl who will do stuff for you in exchange for favors and/or money. Need to know your crush's schedule? Ask Poppet. Need to know the playbook of the oppposing team? Look for Poppet. Need a last minute anniversary gift for your lover? Poppet's got you covered. The only things Poppet won't do are ual stuff and academic cheating. Her prescence is pretty much known to everyone. The staff sometimes use her services too since they know she won't do anything illegal. Sooyoung only asks and observes when it comes to things like thigs you want to know about your crush or another team's playbook.
That Strange Girl - This is used by newcomers in the school before they find out her most used "Poppet" nickname.
Ghost/Spirit - Both are used in the same situations, usually when Sooyoung decides to wander around the school, humming slow tunes. Coupled with her glazed, wide silver eyes and pale skin, it's no wonder that people call her this.
Little Moon - She's her aunt's little moon. Nobody else is allowed to call her this.
Sooyoungie - Only Hana, Junghwa and Jinmi are allowed to call her this, as she gets flashbacks of her sisters if other people say this.
Baby - This was her daddy's nickname for her, though other people used it too. After going to her aunt's care however, the nickname became a trigger. Nobody uses this anymore.

appearance. extra details? scars, birthmarks, tattoos, piercings. how do they wear their uniform?
Sooyoung, oddly enough, had been born with gray eyes; the doctors says it's a genetic mutation. Her eyes are usually glazed over, as if she's stuck in a dream or in a world of her own.
She has a pale complexion, sometimes looking translucent in the light. Her wide, glazed gray eyes and her pale skin make people mistake her as a spirit or a ghost sometimes.
She's always seen with a dimpled smile on her face unless something truly depraved and terrible happens. Her hourglass body is a bit thicker than most Korean girls, most of whom are more on the thin side of the spectrum.
She has two piecings, one on each lobe of her ears. She wears odd accessories, like a teacup ring or a fake scissors necklace

personality. at least 4 positive & negative traits. 1-2 elaboration paragraphs. you can choose to do both or just one, i'm fine with whatever as long as i know who they are.

(+) "SHE HAS A HEART OF GOLD AND A CHARACTER OF DIAMOND -" Loyal, Compassionate, Observant, Resourceful, Wise (+/-) "BUT WITH IGNORANCE AND IMPROPER HANDLING -" Blunt, Honest, Dreamy, Open, Passionate (-) "EVEN GOLD CAN TARNISH AND A DIAMOND CAN LOSE ITS SHINE." Vague, Quirky, Superstitious, Insecure, Outrageous

Sooyoung is a loyal person. Once you have her loyalty, nothing short of betrayal would stop her. She's also compassionate. Her heart is actually quite big and full of care and tolerance for others. She knows the exact words to say and the exact actions to do to help people. She's never truly hated anyone except for those who abandoned her. She would have been really naive if not for her past and the fact that she's observant and wise. Sooyoung sees the small parts of people deemed insignificant but actually quite useful in the long run. Her judgement is also quite good, though she never judges people. Her resourcefulness helps her quite a lot with her work as Poppet. She's ingenious and clever, always finding creative (and legal) methods to complete a task given to her.

She's very blunt. Some people think she's rude because of it, some think it's refreshing and a part of her charm. Her honesty is also an amalgam of good and bad. Sooyoung's just so brutally honest. She'll tell you what she thinks of you in her usual, roundabout way. Being quite dreamy, Sooyoung's airy demeanor and flighty tendencies garner derision from people, even to those who call for Poppet. Some people do find it cute however. She's an open person, never judging a person at first glance and willing to believe anyone. Unfortuantely, though some people do find it a good quality to her, the manifestations of her openness (eccentric behavior, strange accessories, belief in mythical creatures, etc) cause many people to be quite rude to her. Sooyoung's a passionate girl. Anything she finds worthy (ironic, I know), she gives her all into it.

This girl is quirky and outrageous. Her accessories, actions and words are always quite strange and/or whimsical. Of course, she doesn't mean to be, it's just who she is. Sooyoung is also quite vague. She would reference mythical creatures and/or elgends to tell you stuff. For example, she calls spies and eavesdroppers "imps", gossips are called "fairies", Lethe is brought up if you seem to have forgotten something, succubi and incubi are the s of the school. She's also quite superstitious. It's not really helped that Sooyoung actually believes anything, so she's a believer of a mix of religions and cultures. Something normal in Korea is quite superstitious to her because it's a superstition in another country. Sooyoung is also quite insecure. She has a low self worth and is easly struck down from mean words and derisive comments.

All in all, Sooyoung can be quite a corundum. Wise but superstitious, compassionate but insecure, clever but airy, observant but otrageous. It's just one of the things that make her quite strange to other poeple but unique to those who care to see her.

2.) Due to her past, she has an extremely low self worth.
3.) Due to her self worth, or lack of it, she does the whole "Poppet" thing. As Poppet, she is valuable and worthy. Originally, she planned to do it for free but the wise part of her decided even she's not that low in self worth.

12.) She loves coffee.

32.) Her patience is quite huge. It takes a lot to rile her up unless you push the right buttons, like her low self worth, her abandonment issues and her family.
33.) The only way to tell if she's nervous is if she taps a rhythm in her arm's elbow using the fingers of the hand opposite to it while crossing her arms.

EVERYTHING IS PIECING TOGETHER
 

 
"You promised you wouldn't leave!"
Im Kwangsoo | Father | Deceased | Died at age 37
"I'm sorry baby but it looks like daddy's going to break his promise."
 
Sooyoung has vague memories of what her father looks like but remembers his kind smile and warm laugh. He encouraged her interests, never telling her that she was weird or crazy. A budding songwriter, he was the one who gave Sooyoung the interest and passion for music.

He was the best dad and the most amazing husband. He always made sure they knew he loved them, even with his sometimes busy hours and deadlines. He always came to important events and even some insignificant ones. Kwangsoo was the epitome of a perfect husband and father.

She was 5 when her dad found out he had lung cancer. Despite that, he still smiled. He smiled through his chemotheraphy sessions. He smiled through his other treatments. He smiled even when his once healthy, pale skin turned sickly pale, when his thick, brown hair fell off, when all he became was skin and bones. Kwangsoo even made a song called "Baby Don't Cry" for them.


He had promised Sooyoung that he wouldn't leave, and she belived him. Her daddy had never lied to her after all. He never ever lies. But that promise broke when he died a year after his diagnose.

Sooyoung lovees her father, she really does but a part of her can't help but dislike him for breaking his promise and leaving her.
 
 
"You...! You're such a coward!"
Park Eunmi | Mother | Deceased | Died at age 40
"I'm sorry."
 
Eunmi was lively, content and loving her life. She married her high school sweetheart and had wonderful kids with him. Her house was just right and she's the manager of her company's Daegu branch.

After her husband died, Eunmi went into a severe depression. She started drinking, doing drugs, smoking, anything to get her mind off Kwangsoo's death. The vivacious, passionate woman Sooyoung knew died the day her husband did.

She never hit or made scalding remarks to her children; she just neglected them. After her job, she would turn to her vices before falling asleep. One of the kids would then wake her up to eat dinner cooked by one of the twins. After that, she would fall back asleep once again; sometimes, she has to be dragged to her bedroon by the children. Then she would wake up the next morning, pretending nothing happened, and ate breakfast, once again cooked by one of the twins. Then she would go to work and the cycle would repeat itself.

One day, she had enough and decided that the whole family should be reunited. While driving the car, filled with her children, she purposely crashed it. Junho and Hyoyoung died on impact while she and her other children were taken to the hospital. However, she had been declared dead on arrival. Miyoung died during surgery and Yunho died shortly after his, finally succumbing to his injuries. Eunmi's sister, Jinmi, was the one to take custody of Sooyoung, who only had a few bruises and lacerations.


Sooyoung loathes her mother with a passion as hot as a thousand suns. Any mention of her mom can freeze her usually serene, airy demeanor to that of ice. She hasn't forgiven Eunmi for taking everyone she loved away. Nor for disregarding Kwangsoo's wishes for them to move on without him.
 
 
 
"I thought we had 'forever'?"
Im Hyoyoung and Im Miyoung | 2/3 of the "Young" triplets, Sisters | Deceased | Died at age 9
"Sooyoungie, let's stay together forever!" -Hyoyoung
"And ever and ever!" -Miyoung

 
Sooyung was part of the "Young" triplets. Hyoyoung and Miyoung were her closest siblings. They did everything together. Hyoyoung was the petty, girly triplet, Miyoung was the mature, boyish one and Sooyoung was the in between. They were inseperable, attached to the hip. If you saw one of the triplets, the other two wouldn't be far behind.

Even though they were just 6, he triplets had grown up quite a bit after their father died. They would be the ones to wake their mother and do the less exhausting household tasks.

When Hyoyoung and Miyoung died in the accident, Sooyoung felt incomplete. Their relatives often joked that each of them is 1/3 of the same soul. The moment they left her, Sooyoung felt lost and wrong. A small part of her is bitter that they left her in the world alone. She wonders why her triplets didn't think it was worth it to stay behind for their sister instead of leaving together.
 
 
 
"Liars."
Im Yunho and Im Junho | The "Ho" twins, Elder Brothers | Deceased | Died at age 15
"Don't worry, little sister!" -Yunho
"We'll protect you!" -Junho

 
Yunho and Junho are huge pranksters. Their mischief and pranks knew no bounds. There were even times that they would switch places. Their parents sometimes wondered why they had to be identical. Despite being mischievous, they were protective and caring of their family, most especially Sooyoung, the baby.

After their father died, they were the ones who became 'mom' and 'dad' to their siblings despite being only 12 at the time. They cooked, washed the dishes, did the laundry and did the harder household tasks.

Sooyoung grieved their deaths a lot. They were her Supermans, her heroes. If she had a rough day, all she had to see was their faces and she would brighten up immediately. Like with her triplets, Sooyoung feels a bit bitter at them for leaving her and 'why isn't she worth staying for?'
 
 
"Thank you! I love you so much!"
Park Jinmi | Maternal Aunt | Alive | Age 32
"Believe me, you're worth everything, my little moon."
 
Jinmi is Eunmi's much younger half-sister, but that never bothered the two of them. Both were still very close with one another. She's a former Olympic gymnast and currently a trainer for budding gymnasts.

When her brother-in-law died, Jinmi was there for her sister but unfortunately, her work had picked up a lot so she never knew how deep her sister's depression was. Jinmi mourned her sister's death and took it upon herself to pour her love and support to her orphaned niece.

There are times that Jinmi can't help but curse her sister, especially when Sooyoung started having bouts of depression caused by her low self-worth. She hates it when her niece starts having a breakdown and mutters things like, 'why wasn't I worth to move on from daddy?' and 'do you think I'm not worth living for?' but she knows she can't do anything but support and calm the girl down. Of course, some of her niece's mutters are also directed to other members of her family, like her father for breaking his promise, but most are for her mother.


Jinmi is a self proclaimed "bachelorette for life", much to the consternation of her parents and the amusement of her siblings. She can't cook simple meals but knows how to cook complicated dishes, she fails at laundry and her sewing skills , but she's determined and pereverant.

Sooyoung loves her aunt and sees her as her mother above all else. She revels in the fact that her aunt 
sees her, something only her father and triplets had done before her.
 
 
"Thank you for seeing."
Cho Hana and Bae Junghwa | Best Friends | Alive | Age 18
"I will never abandon you!" -Hana
"... tch, betrayal is for scum. I'm far above that." -Junghwa
 
Nobody exactly knows why Cho Hana (Gossip Queen and one of the most popular girls in school), Bae Junghwa (tough-talking, tomboy martial artist), and Im Sooyoung (the strangest girl in school), are the best of friends. It's just one of the many facts of life in Myugdae. People have tried asking, but the three friends just wink (Hana), glare (Junghwa) and smile (Sooyoung).

They actually all met at the hospital. Hana had been in remission for her leukemia, Junghwa in her monthly check ups due to her poor nutrition due to the abuse from the home she had been taken from and Sooyoung for her injuries in the crash. Long story short, they struck up a beautiful friendship.

Hana is a huge gossip and a tiny bit manipulative but has a huge heart and likes animals while Junghwa is tough-talking and indifferent but very caring and supportive. The three girls get along great, filling in the slots in each other's lives.

Of course, they do have their fights, but that's because they all have a bit of mental health issues. Hana's a bit of a control freak due to the fact that she didn't have control over if she would live or not, Junghwa's fiercely independent because of being a lone wolf because of her abusive parents and Sooyoung has a low self worth because she thinks the people she loves would leave her because she's not worth it and abandonment issues.
 
 
"Ah... a customer?"
Lee Taewoo | Schoolmate, Acquaintance, Customer | Age 18
 
Taewoo is nothing more than a schoomate, acquaintance and customer to Sooyoung. Sometimes, Taewoo does see her, but her odd behavior and eccentricities causes him to dismiss what he saw.

Sooyoung has to admit, Taewoo is a pretty attractive guy and she admires him quite a bit.

 
 
DO YOU KNOW ABOUT LOVE?



love interest. This part is up to you! :D Sooyoung is straight, by the way. Maybe someone who fully sees her.
relationship status. This also depends on you!
story. It's a gurantee that no matter who you pick, their story would be quite unique and unconventional, most especially because Sooyoung is unique and unconventional.

LET'S TALK
 

how are you doing in school, what are your grades?

I blinked at the Prince of Grades, Lee Taewoo, searching in my mind what I know about him. Nice guy, a bit biased and naive, but quite compassionate and studious. Pretty handsome and has a huge following in school. He has a younger sister, Taeha, who takes after him in looks and intelligence. I heard he has an interest in the mystery of the 5th Floor and even has a group formed to go there. Quite an interesting mystery. Lots and lots of deaths on that floor. Quite fascinating, actually. I wonder if a spirit or a ghost placed a curse on it? Or maybe a sadistic and vicious pixie? And for what reason? Vengeance? Or just plain boredom? Or maybe -

Lee-ssi cleared his throat. Oh dear, I haven't answered yet, have I? But, not to be presumptuous, he must know a lot about me. Not to sound arrogant, but I am Poppet after all.

"School is good. I do stuff for people in exchange for favors and/or money, my best friends are loyal and my grades are pre
tty good. I get A's and B's in my subjects. I usually get B's when I don't study though." I stared at his head, "Do you know that you have a creature in your brain? I don't know what it is yet but I think it muddles the amigdala." Like making you biased.

He blinked at me. I just smiled at him.

how did you hear of this group?

That's an easy answer. This is a high school; nobody keeps a secret here. Besides, everyone seems to forget that the Gossip Queen is one of my best friends.

"Fairies spread gossip real fast, Lee-ssi."


what made you want to join this group?

"Though I'd like to have a unicorn best friend, my best friends are mysteries and puzzles. I've read Sherlock Holmes and I watch detective and/or mystery shows." I smiled serenely at him as he looked shocked. I can't blame him; though I achieve good grades, people think that I do it so that they'll think I'm worth it. It's just partly true but nobody dares to think I might have any deeper reasons. One of the career paths that I want for myself in the future is a Detective and my subjects help me in that. It's pretty devastating that they think I'm just a tool who lives for their acknowledgement though. Am I a tool? Yes I am. Do I live for their acknowledgement? Yes. But am just that? Far from it.

"The mystery of Myungdae High's 5th Floor is very intriguing and I admit that I've been reading up on it ever since I've been here in Myungdae. The most intriguing is the fact that it's the 5th Floor. The number 5 isn't an unlucky number in any part of the world. The 4th floor would've been the most obvious choice. The fact that countless deaths happened there is interesting. Is there a curse? A murderer that's been hiding all this time? A ghost? Or did people choose the floor as a perfect death spot after the first death, a suicide? I want to solve it."


what will you do once you visit the fifth floor?

I tilted my head to the side, looking at him, "Did Lethe make you forget?  I want to solve the mystery. It would involve exploring the floor and gathering evidence."
 
what do you think will happen once you visit?

I smiled at him, "Well, snoop around and look for clues, of course. Evidence and observations is important in deducing the truth of the 5th Floor." I lean in conspirationally, still smiling, "I have a theory that the school staff, particularly the ones who have been here in Myungdae since the 5th Floor mystery, know something about the whole thing. Why would they keep silent? It's either that if they're found out, they'll lose their jobs and credibility or that someone's blackmailing them."

I leaned back, humming. "There's a chance something unexpected and/or bad will happen and will put us in danger though. We should be vigilant."


and finally, what should this group be named?

"I think the group should have two names - one true and the other fake - just in case imps decide to tell the higher ups about it." This is a high school after all, we don't know if someone will tattle. "Myungdae's Mystery Operatives could be the true name. It's acronym can be M.M.O and the false name can be Myungdae's something Organization. I have no idea what the other 'M' should be but you're smart so maybe you can think of something. Of course, I think you should also ask illusionists to mask the group from outsiders." Maybe a kitsune? They are good at illusions.
 
 
THE END
 

name. Haru
comments / questions. 
This is the first time I created a character who doesn't have a good past and has a bit of mental health and emotional issues. Sooyoung has issues with abandonment and self worth, but hey, everyone has their own problems right? Her main inspirations were Luna Lovegood from the "Harry Potter" franchise and people I know in real life.

Ahhh... I don't know what Taewoo is to her yet. I'll add him in later when I get an idea.


UPDATE | 7/13 | I added some scene requests, fixed spelling mistakes and sentence errors, and added Taewoo to the relationships section.

scene requests.
- If Sooyoung dies, please don't make it a suicide. She's very much against it because of her mother. I would suggest that she dies with the person/people who finally see her.
- Make her act totally out of her comfort zone when confronted with love/someone she likes
- Someone says she's useless and worthless and Sooyoung has a mental breakdown.
- Sooyoung weirding people out
- The people in the group f
inally see Sooyoung
