nickname(s)
+ SUPER SEOL / created by the one and only, jung daeho when she had rescued him in middle school. daeho doesn't even call seola seola anymore, but instead, chooses to refer to her with this nickname. other than daeho, their group of friends also call her as such.
+ SEOLLIE / just an affectionate nickname her friends call her by. it's funny, though, they tend to call her seollie whenever she gets angry or is about to get into a fight. it's just cute to yell, "seolie!" at a small and docile looking creature who's about to launch a tirade of fury.

birthplace manhattan, new york.
hometown manhattan, new york.
languages
+ KOREAN / it's her mother tongue. although having born and bred in america, her parents communicate with her in korean and she has lived in koreatown all her life. so, naturally, her korean is very fluent, although she doesn't really know the latest slangs. she's been teased by her friends for that, being called old fashioned because of that.
+ ENGLISH / her second language, and not surprisingly, she is fluent. that's what living in america does to you.

appearance seola is, in one word, cute. with wide eyes and a cute little button nose as well as fairly chubby cheeks and petite stature, she finds her cheek pinched more often than being cat-called. she has gone through various hair transformations but currently, she has medium-length light-brown hair that falls just below her shoulder. although she would like to seem intimidating and strong, most of the time, seola has a very caring and almost angelic aura around her - someone who is always willing to help, give a smile to someone who looks upset, etc.
style simple and tomboyish. seola does not really care for fashion, and her closet mainly consists of t-shirts and shorts, though she does occassionally mix it up with a button-down shirt if she's feeling particularly creative. during the winter, she usually switches shorts for jeans and shirts for hoodies. however, she does have pretty fancy dresses (often hand-me-downs from minah when she gets tired of it or when she feels like seola isn't dressing up enough.) (visit seola's instagram to get a peek at what she would normally wear!)
extra seola's skin, from head to toes, is always covered with bruises and scars, from her kickboxing and taekwondo training. her most prominent and permanent one is the one on her knee, where she once had to get stitches for when she'd attempted to chase after a robber but instead, fell down and cut herself on a rusty pipe.

BYUN HONGBIN, SEOLA'S BROTHER: "wait, you want me to talk about my sister? alright, this is going to be hard and awkward, but i'll try my best. seola, my younger sister, is honestly the greatest person i'll ever meet. she's so incredibly kind, she just wants to make the world a better place. you know those kids that you can't help but admire? that's her. she was the kid who waited at the street so she could help the old ladies cross the road, the girl that would volunteer for blood donations even though she wasn't old enough yet, the person who immediately lends an helping hand without asking for anything in return. it's so admirable. and her righteousness is something i wish i had as well - she's always trying to do the right thing, even though it's difficult. in a moral dilemma, even if it hurts her, she wants to do the right thing. i don't know where it stemmed from, probably from reading tons of comic books and watching superhero movies, but yeah, i love her for it."
BANG MINAH, CHILDHOOD FRIEND: "byun seola is the scariest person you'll ever meet. i'm not even kidding. she may look little but she's so fiesty. she has a lot of passion for what she does - her schoolwork, societal issues, superheroes, which is great but damn, she's a fireball. you cross her the wrong way and it's the end for you. you can be the biggest person but she'll fight you anyways and she'll never forgive you. seriously, the girl holds a grude really well. she still remembers the time i called spiderman lame in fifth grade! who even remembers that? crazy . but i love her so much. she's so incredibly loyal. like a cute little puppy! once you're friends with her, it's like a lifelong entry of protection. she'll do literally anything for her friends. did you know that once someone stole my lunchbox and she was so mad that she yelled at the boy, complained to the teacher and bought me my favorite food. she just wants to protect and love everyone."
KANG RIAH, MOTHER: "i'm pretty sure everyone's going to talk about how great seola is so i'll be a little different and talk about her bad side. seola's emotions can be quite detrimental at times, in the sense that it controls her. she gets emotional really quick (over a sad movie, over something mean someone said, over an incident of bad news) and has mood swings incredibly fast. although at times the emotions are good, like when she found out about how old people were left in an old folk's home, she got mad and ranted for about an hour and then, made it a point to volunteer at one every week. but in some cases, it's bad, like when she saw that the crime rate was increasing and she just wanted to go out and protect everyone. no, seola, that's unsafe. i worry about her, especially with her temper that can flare up quite easily."
IM JINAH, DEBATE TEAM MEMBER: "depends on which side you're on, seola can be good or bad. good in the sense that she will never give up a fight even when she's wrong but bad when you're her friend and you're trying to tell her why this won't work, but she won't listen because she doesn't like to admit she's wrong. sorry, seola."
lifestyle
currently, seola lives in an off-campus apartment, sharing with her childhood friend, bang minah and two other girls who grew up in the same neighborhood as them. like all roommates, they're close with each other and have nights where they all just lie in, drink beer and watch bad movies but at the end of the day, they're not each other's best friends and have their own squads that they hang out with. overall, however, their apartment is pretty spotless, with a fridge always stocked up with someone's diet drinks or fruits, functioning electricity and water. they do have a shared agreement that if someone brings a boyfriend home, they have to leave a banana out on the table, as an unspoken warning - because seola remembers walking in on her roommate getting it on in her bedroom and had screamed so hard. until now, although the boy has broken up with seola's roommate, he is unable to look seola in the eye.
unsurprisingly, seola is a law major, (oh yes arguing for a living). she is also a member of the debate team (unsurprisingly). she's also part of various charity organizations, so it's no surprise if you see a smiling byun seola at a charity event. however, her main source of income comes from working at a comic book store during weekdays and at an old folks' home.

bottoms up although considered a rule-abiding citizen to many, there is one thing that she doesn't mind breaking the rules for and that's underaged drinking. maybe it's because she's been brought up with a very typical korean outlook, where her parents go out drinking with the neighborhood koreans every week and that her first drink was a shot of soju, when she was thirteen, ordered specially by mom. her drunk habits can be quite intimidating, to be frank. it's simply because seola feels the urge to start with anyone and everyone. when she's drunk, it's like her adrenaline spikes and she starts yelling and screaming and even the smallest infraction, like a boy grinding against her best friend or a guy that looks like her ex, will result in seola picking a fight with them. and it never ends well because they either get kicked out of the club or seola actually fights with them outside the club and they have to pay for the opposite party's hospital fees. so, her friends have tried to restrict seola from going out to drink, but it's rather impossible because seola loves drinking so they've resigned to just warning the bouncers about "a tiny little asian girl who looks like she can't beat people up and will. please carry her out and order some mcdonald's for her. she'll be okay then."
trivia
! EMOGIRL97 / seola's playlist mainly consists of alternative music, with the holy trinity of my chemical romance, panic! at the disco and fall out boy. she still gets emotional if you mention mcr's breakup. pls don't mention it in front of her.
! TREASURE / her most treasured belonging is captain america (who is also her favorite superhero!!!) t-shirt that she got chris evans to sign when she was at the premiere. once daeho played with it and seola got so mad she screamed at him for fifteen minutes straight, headbutted him twice and refused to speak to him for three days
! BLACK BELT / she has a black belt in taekwondo and is an avid kickboxer, which is why you should probably not mess with her.

BYUN HONGBIN, 23, GRADUATE STUDENT
hongbin and seola defy the stereotypical sibling relationship. normally, hongbin would be the overprotective older brother but. . . in reality, it is seola who is the overprotective one. her brother has never been strong and even though they live just a few blocks apart, she still constantly worries about him and calls him almost every night to make sure he's okay. even when they were in middle school, it was seola that went up and defended her older brother against the bullies. hongbin does love his sister and he shows his appreciation by buying her some new food every week, delivered to his sister's doorstep. she enjoys it greatly because it's like a surprise - what is next! they meet up quite often, whenever hongbin is free or whenever there's a new superhero movie / comic book release coming up.

SEO DAEHO, 19, STUDENT
seola and daeho became friends after daeho, the new transfer student, was teased for his bad english. and seola, the person who would not Stand For Bullying, yelled back at the bullies until they stopped. and ever since then, they've been inseperable friends. both incredibly loyal to each other, seola gives daeho the concern and attention he needs whenever he forgets that he's still human and he shouldn't work so hard whereas daeho understands seola's sensitivity and is really good at ranting along with her. it's a crazy friendship where when put in the same room together, the two of them can speak for hours and hours nonstop. it's not uncommon to see daeho and seola studying together, both with dark eye circles and later, at a mcdonald's at five am sharing a burger or seola making fun of daeho for only having one past experience with a 'ty nurse'. seola considers daeho her best friend and would literally do anything for him. even staying sober (when she loves to drink) so that she can drive him home safely. it's a nice Beneficial friendship.

seola's childhood friend and also, her roommate. although they live with two other girls, seola is undeniably closest to minah. it's kinda crazy how they managed to stay friends all these years, being so incredibly different. seola is conversative, minah has one night stands frequently; seola does not care about how she dresses, minah slaves over the right outfit to wear but still, seola appreciates minah's friendship. although she may not agree with whatever minah says, minah has provided her with a listening ear, who has wiped away the blood from her scars, cooked her super yummy food and seola geniunely loves minah for all that she has done. due to seola's busy schedule, they don't spend much time together but when they do, they often drink beer and watch dramas together (minah cries, seola yells at the screen.)

seola's first love, first boyfriend, first everything. honestly, it's nothing special - seola had the biggest crush on him since freshman year of high school and finally, in junior year, they had gotten together. they were even voted cutest couple one year because well, they were actually that cute. seola being short and mingyu being tall, her being passionate and him, the only perosn that knew how to calm her down. one of their favorite things to do was to go out late at night, drive around the empty streets and sing with the windows down and eat mcdonald's at the crack of dawn. however, it wasn't a perfect relationship, not even the slightest. mingyu never really liked to talk about his problems, choosing to internalize it and he'd be hot and cold towards seola. and seola wasn't perfect either, she picked fights, never really wanted to admit she was wrong. the breaking straw came when they had gotten into a misunderstanding and seola was screaming about it but mingyu just let her win as always but seola had enough that she stormed out and never talked to him since. it was a terrible, terrible breakup, which ended in mingyu crying at the back of the store, seola burning everything he gave her, mingyu deleting all their pictures. ironically enough, they now go to the same university. it's awkward and sad, but they just give each other smiles. sometimes, when it's late at night or when a song that they used to sing together comes on, she reminsces about him. and she does miss him.

SHIN HOSEOK, FLIRTATIONSHIP, STUDENT, 20
minhyuk and seola first met when she joined the school's debate team. it was bound to be drama from the start - minhyuk, the star debater against seola, the aspiring fresh meat. it was a source of amusement for their teammates, who would always put them in separate teams just to watch them fight with each other. their bickering translated offstage as well, because (in seola's defense) minhyuk was annoying and she couldn't stand it at all but minhyuk just liked to argue along because seola was cute. and she was even cuter when she got angry. her friends, namely daeho, had mentioned the air of lingering around them but that simply made seola more defensive and agitated. ('why would i like such a cocky !') but it wasn't after this one party where both minhyuk and seola got drunk, minhyuk and seola drunkenly bickering again, seola asking minhyuk to shut up, minhyuk saying "make me" and seola kissing him. frankly, she's super embarassed by the fact that she kissed her biggest enemy but he likes to and use it against her. which is probably why he's been winning all the latest debates, because just implying the kiss will make seola defensive and forget about everything she prepared. tl;dr: minhyuk is a cocky flirty and seola hates him but they kissed before and he won't let it die down.
