PERSONALITY:
Lana is a girl who desires the spotlight regardless of the cost it takes to actually earn it. Her personality is based around the fact that she is the "perfect girl" to the public eye, yet once the cameras are turned away from her, her true darkness can no longer be hidden behind the pristine mask she puts on for everyone. At one point there was a genuine sweetness within the girl. She was not a manipulative, self-absorbed wannabe when she was a young girl - it all began to change once everyone began to feed her the idea that she was the best at everything she did. Once that idea had been planted in her soul, it quickly corrupted Lana and stamped out all the sincerity she once had. However, that part of her was not completely shut out as she continued to grow.
She kept her pristine good-girl persona out for general interactions. Lana would make sure to gush just a little bit more whenever she knew people were listening, she'd compliment people just at the right time when others were watching, and even random acts of kindness were taken solely when a decent-sized crowd would be able to see what she was doing. By all means one could describe the girl's sweet demeanor as a two-thousand dollar bill: by all means was it gorgeous to think about and see for yourself, but the truth behind it is that it's simply a fake knock-off meant to only look good on the outside.
There are very few times where Lana will actually act out with no ulterior motive to support herself. Only when someone genuinely needs help and a part of her feels bad does Lana actually step forward to do something good - these moments are, of course, far and few between though. Especially so after she had entered the pool of trainees at Pledis and knew that anyone else's failures would be an opportunity for her to not only succeed, but to excel at what she's doing. At the end of the day, her only true focus is on snatching the first chance she has at debuting, no matter how ruthless she has to be to get it.
BACKGROUND:
Starting from humble beginning, Lana Song was born in Victoria, Canada to co-owners of a small bakery. From a young age the girl reveled being at the center of attention for everyone within her family. Being both the first-born in her own family and the only child as well had its perks growing up; she never had to compete with another sibling for her parent's attention, not did she have to fight for financial payment whenever she wanted something. It was a lonely childhood at times, yes, but Lana did not mind it, for she had the attention from others to keep her entertained. Once she had became old enough to express her talents more freely, the girl took every opportunity to do so in order for even more people to watch her in amazement.
She began small, singing at family reunions or belting out little tunes in the shower. It wasn't until Lana entered elementary school that her true star potential would come out. Chorus class was by far her favorite day of the week, and with each lesson she learned something new about her young voice - priming from her teacher helped the young girl not only build a solid base for her vocals to flourish with later on, but it had also set Lana up to be one of the stronger voices during her many chorus concerts that were sprinkled throughout the year. In later years, particularly in middle school, the young girl was drawn to participating in every single talent show held at her school. Lana was lucky enough to even be placed first in one of them, although during her eighth grade talent show awards were canceled altogether due to some students feeling that giving out scores for the talents they loved to do was "cruel" and "not right" - a sentiment that Lana did not agree with at all.
Her interest in becoming an entertainer grew just a little bit more each time she visited her aunts and uncles in Korea, where the flashy performance stages and catchy songs caught her attention. Lana's desire for the idol life increased ten-fold when her parents had sold their business in Victoria and relocate to Jamsil, a neighborhood located within Seoul. There they had revived their bakery and enrolled Lana in a private school, yet all she could focus on was the fact that fame had become that much more attainable.
It all eventually ed when she was scouted by a talent agent whilst shopping in Myeongdong. She was a fresh-faced teen who was noticed for her beautiful features, which landed her the opportunity to enter Pledis as a model. The experience was quite fun, although it quickly ended once a manager within the company recommended that her career path be focused on the performance stage rather than being stuck in front of a camera lens. And in that moment Lana knew that she was finally taking the first steps towards achieving her dream of stardom.

RELATIONSHIPS:
◉ Mother - Justine Song (48) / cafe co-owner / observant, opaque, silent / Lana and her mother have a very cliche mother-daughter relationship with one another. They are perfectly fine with one another, yet there are days where Justine's unreadable expressions drive her daughter nuts as she attempts to decode what her mother truly means. While their relationship becomes strained at times, she is the parent Lana often runs to if she ever needs advice on just about anything. There's an unspoken trust they hold between one another to not discuss anything private to Lana's father whenever she does need to speak to her mother.
◉ Father - Song Jae Min (47) / cafe co-owner / eccentric, quirky, defiant / While Lana heads to her mother almost exclusively for advice, she heads to her father every time she needs a smile to be put on her face. He understands exactly what it is that makes his little girl happy - she does become embarrassed sometimes when his personality obnoxiously shines out in public. However, despite his over-the-top demeanor, Lana appreciates it and wouldn't want her father to change ever.
◉ "Brother" - Kimchi (3) / pomeranian / excitable, diva, reactive / Kimchi is Lana's puppy who she loves with all of her heart! He's the closest thing that she has to a sibling, although with the way her father treats him there are days where she thinks of him as an actual human baby.

LAST COMMENT: I haven't written an app for an apply fic in a very long time, so hopefully Lana is actually good! I tried doing something different with her and almost gave her a "villain" type of persona just to throw a little curve ball out there. Thank you for reading and considering her! Oh, also, I hate writing personality sections so sorry if it's terrible!
SCENE REQUEST:
◉ What I'm hoping for is one scene with a lot of tense interactions between the girls, lots of drama, lots of cattiness, maybe even a little bit of tears as well?
◉ A cameo from a few of the artists under Pledis, if not all of them! *cough* especially Seventeen *cough* OTL
