PERSONALITY:
If there's anything Nari wants to reflect off on, it'd be the sun. Like the sun, Nari would be described as bright, active, and around everyone. She is the hyperactive one in the group whose purpose would be a comedy relief like any other drama. Around her friends, she looks out for them, even if they don't need to be looked out for. She makes sure everyone is safe and sound from any danger, despite others being stronger than her. She's the type to easily create a deep bond with new friends where every memory matters. It's shown through her gifts and letters how much she thinks about her friends in the smallest of ways. When she does show it, she makes sure it's perfect in everyway. Every present should be given every thought according to Nari and that side of her shows in her workstyle and dancestyle. Perfection is something Nari wants to obtain as much as possible even if it's be impossible.
When there is a sun, there are shadows. People don't notice it but Nari has a very narrow mindset. Once she is set on one thing, she will only work towards that one thing despite any other conditions. Any other solutions become doubtful in Nari's head. One mindset Nari always had was putting friends before her. She always believed that and occasionally she'll sputter a few white lies where the truh will hurt. Even if she is in the wrong, fighting with her is similar to fighting with a child, stubborn and overreactive. She wears her heart on her sleeve without noticing so everyone can see through her lies and dishonesty even if she doesn't want them to.
BACKGROUND:
Born from the English land of England, Nari was born on the Summer Solestice with two loving parents and an older sister. Her mother was a music teacher and her father was the breadwinner of the family by being a professor at a college. The four lived happily even if they didn't have all the riches of the world or air conditioning during the summer.
Nari's passion started in a family trip to Korea one summer. She saw bright colors and sparkly outfits on T.V. as the adults sat around and chattered among themselves. Dancers. It was love at first sight when Nari saw how their bodies moved fluidly to the music, to every beat. Since Nari was a small child then, anything seemed possible to her.
Ever since, her parents gladly signed her up for dancing lessons. At first it was ballet, then it was modern dance, and then it was all these type of dances. Before Nari even knew it, she became a natural at dancing, to the point she was considered a 'prodigy' at the age of ten. She couldn't help but intake the smiles from her family at every recital they went to, every clap she'd receive and the proud bragging from her parents to their friends. She knew she could be something with her talent, so she took it to where her dream originated from, South Korea.
She'd live with her aunt as she auditioned at countless companies, hoping one of them would at least take her in. By the time she became a trainee, her time at the company outweighed the time back home. She would practice endlessly and eventurally started to forget her meals, started to sing and rap more then snoring in her sleep, started to drown herself with training and the uncertainty of being an idol.
It wasn't long before the problems start to worsen. Eventurally, Nari developed an eating disorder and starting getting IV treatement to continue on with her training. The physical check-ups weren't any better when the idol industry demands every idol to be under a certain weight. The smiles she saw on her parents through video chat eventually dissappeared and most importantly, her smile started to dissappear. Hospital visits became more mandetory and eating became harder to accomplish. Even if Nari was born on the longest day of the year, it was uncertain if she could last any longer in her state.
"Just come home."
"Please take care of yourself."
With clenched teeth and a lowered head, she couldn't figure out what went wrong. What happened to the supportive parents urging her to achieve her dream? What happened to the pride, the smiles, the applause? What happened to her dream?
A small voice in her head whispered "Are you happy with yourself?" and it clicked.
She forgot it all; the joy behind dancing. She danced because she was happy. She was happy from everything dancing gave her and look where she is now, unhappy.
From that day on, Nari tried to fix herself. She tried to sleep more, eat more, play more. In order for her to achieve her dream, happy must be part of it.
It was a struggle. The progress was slow, but surely there was improvement.

RELATIONSHIPS:
✩ Partner - Yu Jaili (22) / Trainee / warm, quiet, sensitive / 6/10
When it came to practicing together, Jaili and Nari were inseperable. The two shared the same dream so it was obvious they decided to work together. Despite the language barrier, the two are always lending a hand with eachother even if they don't see the latter outside the practice room.
✩ Ex-Lover - BAP's Zelo (20) / Idol / shy, blunt, tough / 2/10
Zelo was Nari's star-crossed lover without the dying part. Ever since they broke up, awkward nods and weary smiles were shown whenever the two were together. They were shaky about eachother, knowing the idol life was the reason why they broke up.
✩ Aquaintance - GOT7'S JB (22) / Idol / friendly, playful, manly / 3/10
At first, the two often greeted eachother in the halls. Then, as their greetings got more common, fingers got pointed and rumors started spreading. Of course, Jaebum felt bad for being the reason why a valuble idol-to-be got kicked out, but he puts it behind him and let the two try and build up their friendship again.
✩ Friend - Choi Hansol/SVT's Vernon (18) / Idol / prideful, quiet, introverted / 5/10
Even though Nari was fluent in Korean, she often lacked friends who spoke English. Hansol was one of the few who did and they bonded over their differences. As Nari hailed from London and Hansol hailed from New York, the two communicated frequently despite one's busy schedule.

LAST COMMENT: wheezes, hello! i hope this is good for you ; v ; i might go back and revise the presonality because it's not my best work- but the general idea is still there! also eunjin was the lead rapper but there weren't that many solo performances for her rapping so. .. . o/ i didn't add any pictures because i was worried about not making it you see.. .. so i'll let you know if any changes occur! if there's anything you want me to fix- please let me know! i hope you like nari <3.
SCENE REQUEST:
✩ Nari's fascination with bugs and how it kinda creeps out the other members with how comfortable she is with them.
✩ Mingyu finding JB and Nari together and automatically assume she likes him- and tries to be her wing man until she tells him the whole story (might be too much- completely optional tbh)
PASSWORD: Thank you for letting me be me.
