Bio
About Gaia
PERSONALITY TRAITS: In touch with nature, dreamer at heart, cold, tempermental, stubborn,sarcastic, respectful, sensitive, talkative and child-like only around super close friends
PERSONALITY:
"You think ya' flow sick, but my flow mo' sicka'."
My personality to the outside world, or to people who don't know me that well, is quiet, reserved, and calculating. A lot of people believe I have resting face syndrome and that I'm cold hearted. In reality, I'm actually anxious and introverted. My ultimate defense mechanism is this "cold" hard shell to tell the world that they can't phase me if they try to hurt me. But really, I'm caring, protective, head-strong, ambitious, and big-hearted. I love children and I have a very childish giggle as a laugh. I believe in karma, that everything happens for a reason. I'm loyal to the point where it's cring-worthy, my respect and manners have no boundaries as I am always greatful, and I can be a total sap to the ones I love. Secret romantic at heart, but no one knows that^^
When I'm upset or mad, I'm vicious with a venom-tongue and I usually can't control my mouth. In arguments I'll use every fact I have to prove how wrong you are and how disgraceful that is. Just like my friends say that I always have the funniest 'one-liners' at the end of someone else's joke, I also have sarcastic remarks I make every now or then, usually to be funny.
However, along with my sarcastic humor and corny jokes, I have other positive traits. When alone or with people I'm comfortable with, you can see me sending hilarious snapchats to my friends of dramatic lip-syncing to songs. I shower and take soothing bubble baths at night, and when I get out I leave my hair in a wet towel and you can catch me sliding across the floor blaring loud music and dancing like no-jams-Jimin. That's another thing. Loud music. I will always have the radio or the songs on my phone turned up high and more than likely you can hear it down the hallway.
Since I'm originally a studio mixer/lyricist I rather be behind the scenes, in the studio, making creations for the world to fall in love with. As a performer I would definitely be a rapper and if I were to have a music video my style and my setting would be like "Ssenunni" by Jessi. I secretly always had this dream of having a cameo in a music video where I do something ridiculous like kick over a bookshelf in a library or something controversial that screams my 'badass-ery'.
TRAINEE BACKGROUND:
Gaia never had or found an 'easy' road to the trainee life. She had to audition multiple times to be considered, and even then her manager/boss told her she needs to prove there's a reason why she's at a company. Gaia is a native English speaker, so she struggles with Korean at times and is usually more comfortable with Mandarin, and would like to make friends who knows those 3 languages as well. She took a lot of criticism to heart and she's had a number of private panic and anxiety attacks, fearing that if someone in the company knew they would deem her unstable for the life as an idol. Gaia is a rapper, but a true 'artist' at heart. She has special permission to step into studio booths every so often and watch studio producers create songs. She adores it and if she ever debuts in an idol group, she would like to help produce their albums and write lyrics. Dancing can be difficult for her at times, but she truly enjoys learning it and appreciates it as a true form of art and expression.
