BACKGROUND :

1994-2000 born on a chilly night and raised in macau, her first years as a daughter was sweet and nice until her mother suddenly died from lung cancer. zarah was deeply saddened by her death and saw her father changed into a whole different man. he never looked at her again for she who resembles her mother so much, he couldn't bear on even looking at her. wanting her to hate him, he started abusing her mentally by blaming her for her mother's death and regreting on having her in this world. for a 4 year old, she was traumatized by her father's treatment towards her and that's the spark needed to fire up the hatred and fear of men. with her nanny being mute and couldn't speak, she couldn't help much but can only give her the comfort and love that she never received from her father. 

2000-2012 her father and her along with her nanny moved to melbourne after her 6th birthday. he treated her as if she's invisible; only gave her food, shelter and pocket money. as spolied as that looks like, her nanny taught her to never turn out like the rich spolied brats around the world that they both watch on tv. zarah first spent the money as much as she wants but then realized that she needs to have at least 7 digits in her bank account if she wants to leave her father and decided to listened to her nanny. so then, she only used it for neccessary things such as taking acting and self-defense classes. she saved the rest of the money until she turned 18. zarah is legally an adult and is free from her father's custody. she packed her things, brought her horse along to live with her nanny in seoul with her name being adopted under her nanny.

2012 - present now living under her adopted mother, she also got herself an adopted older sister which she has always communicate from skype and loves her like her own sibling. as zarah is finding out on her career path, she was thinking on pursuing on english literature in college and did just that by applying to ewha university. 

on one fine day, she was passing by lemon ent's company building and it caught her attention. her singing was quite good and she did rap along with some eminem and pittbull hits that she is quite confident with her rapping skills. thoughts were swirling in her mind. zarah then remembered what her mama used to say, "don't think about me. you do what you want to do in in your life. all i want to know is that you're doing something that you love." 

and with that, she simply auditioned and got in. 

LIKES languages, theatre, flowers, tea, animals, bugs, croissants, elegant hairstyles, dim sums, purple carrot juice, seashells, jellybeans, the beach and accents

DISLIKES MEN, liars, YANG GEUNJI, betrayers, small holes, anything messy especially a room, being seen as a weak person and MEN

HOBBIES taking walks, reading, collecting items such as seashells and merchandise, horse-riding and skyping with her adopted mother.

HABITS cracking her knuckles; signalling her attempt to hit or attack, smelling people's hair when hugging, sleeping to her right, speaking different languages when stressed or nervous, making sign languages when knowing that she can't curse or badmouth.

TRIVIA 
she was taught some self-defense skills and ended up learning two - krav maga and aikido, making her the only person by far that can avoid and fight back yoomi.
if she's not an idol, she might be a theatre artist or work as an interpreter.
as her adopted mother is mute and loves flowers, she taught zarah on the sign & flower language.
 she has two phobias; trypophobia - a fear of small holes & androphobia - a fear of men.
it may seem that she's a die-hard anti man person but inside, she's trying really hard to slowly overcome her fear of men.
she will usually get panic attacks when she gets too close with any guy but hides it under a glare and a firm look to scare them away. she'll always hide her fear through her poker face. but thanks to lu mei and collin, her panic attacks is slowly decreasing but her attitude is still the same to avoid her panic attacks to rise up. 
she can speak in multiple accents in english - british, chinese, russian and french.
❇ her phone lockscreen - herself and sazzy after horseback riding | her homescreen - a candid photo of her adoptive family and her laughing politely.
zarah rarely gets sick as she hates being weak and vulnerable. when she does once in a blue moon, she'll be more defensive.
how to tame the catfish? easy, simply do hairstyles on her hair especially braids and pet her head once in a while. she secretly likes it when people do that.
currently trying to learn spanish and japanese along with her french speaking skills being polished thanks to collin and jaehwan. 
she has a female horse named sazzy and it is currently staying with her family in a stable beside their green house. 
she was in the theatre club and was also the president of the club in her high school days. with that, she had acted as the main lead twice in two theatre productions for school competitions. 
 zarah really appreciates and loves her fans even though her fans are mostly women. this is how she is around her fans;


TRAINEE LIFE
 
tumblr_inline_ncztklMcdp1sk5ng5.png

YEARS OF TRAINING 4 years (2013- present)

TRAINEE EXPERIENCE she wasn't exactly loved or admired but got the opposite. zara was feared by most trainees around her especially the male trainees because of the rumours of her man-hating attitude and obviously no one bothered to find out if the rumour is actually true or not. zarah didn't mind as she would mostly spend her days alone in the practice room. zarah trained with most aurora and royal court members, knowing them as acquaintances in her daily life. 

SCHOOL LIFE as she had graduated from high school back in melbourne and pursue her english literature in ewha, her trainee sessions didn't affect her college life as she took quite a number of extra classes and also joined their english club. she arranged her schedule well so she trains and then studies at night. then, she got her degree already in 2015 and stopped there to focus on her idol career. 

CURRENT LIFESTYLE she lives in the company dorms and goes home on the weekends. even so, she prefers staying in her dorms on weekends for she'll get some alone time and she finds it comforting and goes practice in the company as much as she can. zarah takes care of the other but doesn't really show much. she'll clean the room whenever it gets messy and all. the other female trainees that lives with her are okay with her and respects her in a good way.
COMPANIONSHIP
 
FAMILY 
 adoptive mother — fung wei hua (49) | ex nanny and now florist | kind-hearted, caring, lovable, jovial | without her, she wouldn't be who she is today, wei hua saves zarah from her abusive father. wei hua loves zarah with all her heart and supports her dream. zarah skypes with her in her free time.
 adoptive sister — fung jia yi (25) | florist and part time choreographer | loud, firm, easy-going and independent | she first met jia yi over a skype call when she was about 10 years old when wei hua contacted her daughter who just finished her swimming class. they weren't that close from the start but they got closer after wei hua adpted zarah into their small family. she understands of her fear towards men and tries to help her with it. zarah relied on jia yi a lot on life advices and so on. 

FRIENDS 
french and same-aged buddy  — collin han moreau (22) | lead rapper | jovial, easy-going, charming and sweet | he heard her cursing geunji in french and she was on his look-out ever since. at first zarah tried to stay away from him but he doesn't seem to get the hint and keeps talking to her in french. surprisingly, they seem to get along well and stayed as close friends who are ready to help each other around. 
respected unnie  — lu mei (23) | co-leader of royal court | protective, hard-working, ambivert and loyal | lu mei was around the company when zarah first came, the two were heading out and was about to head separate ways when zarah was suddenly ambushed by a group of men. zarah didn't want to get into any fight even she clearly knows to defend herself but her fear overcame her that she suddenly sweats a lot and was afraid around men after long years of avoiding the gender. lu mei immediately went over and helped on saving her from the group before zarah was nearly about to faint. when the girl woke up, she was home with lu mei beside her bed. she told zarah that her adoptive sister told her everything. since then, lu mei is always around helping zarah in any way that she can. the only person in the company to know of her fear and apparently the reason why lu mei is also protective of zarah for she knows. 
leader sunbae — im mei hui (24) | leader of aurora | independent, introverted, caring and understanding | they're not that close, only greeting each other and being in the same classes or practice room a few times. as seaing's debut is approaching, yoomi suggested zarah to ask mei hui for advice on seaing. mei hui did just that and it's safe to assume that mei hui is another person that zarah would go to for advice other than lu mei.

GROUP MEMBERS 
 sisters that she'll soon love and care — female seaing members (16-22) | members of seaing | loyal, goal-driven, dedicated and nurturing | as zarah slowly gets to know the girls more, she grows to care for them a lot and takes care of them in different approaches.

angelfish: she maybe the closest member with her other than the lionfish. surprisingly, this girl is quite understanding with her "hatred" with men that makes zarah grow comfortable with her. as times goes by, many of fans would think that zarah is just pretending to be nice with angelfish to tray away all the bad rumours of her and masking all her negative traits towards men. 
lionfish: she amuses zarah with her personality on and off camera and finds her interesting. as the two can be quite salty on certain things, they got along well and lionfish would go to zarah when she wants company. zarah gladly accompanies her as long as she doesn't do something too crazy or stupid. zarah knows of her complex and from what she observed so far, lionfish is one of the members that she needs to keep an eye on.
blobfish: zarah cares for the blobfish to be honest. she knows that the blobfish has the personality and the talent but her low confidence got in the way. zarah would motivate the girl to ignore the haters when they comment on her lack of beauty. to zarah, blobfish is pretty in her way and she hopes that the girl would feel the same way too.

 brothers that she'll learn to coexist with — male seaing members (16-22) | members of seaing | ambitious, resolute, determined and passionate | to the guys, she's definitely more strict towards them. zarah tries to to be rational with them but ends up hurting their feelings by spitting out crititisms and negative points of them. just like how she is with the girls, she'll somehow grow to care for them despite her hating on men but it takes a longer time though.

swordfish: okay, zarah really tried to get along with him. she really did try but he just have to ruin it by mocking her leadership skills like all the time and his prideful self annoys her to the maximum. but since he is her co-leader, she tries to be steadfast and tries not to get intimidated by him even though he can get really boastful. when she had enough of it, she'll lash out her anger towards the member by twisting his arm or does a krav maga smackdown onto him.
pufferfish: one word; weakling. he reminds her so much of what she used to be and it irks her. despite that, she tries not to hurt him much for she understands how fragile the boy can be. 
clownfish: he jokingly calls her prickles noona. she doesn't care on that nickname as long as he doesn't flirt or bother her like he bothers the blobfish and the pufferfish. if he goes way overboard, only then she'll scold him from bothering anyone. 
goldfish: she would rather have him as her co-leader instead of that annoying swordfish but oh well. goldfish is the only male member that she is somewhat neutral with as he is also neutral with her. 

 jellyfish: she's cool with them. as the jellyfish is a triple threat, zarah is amazed with their skills and likes it when they have so much talent to show and is gladly to lend the spotlight to them as she knows that they deserve it. will be added more soon

RIVALS/ENEMIES :
 rivals that respect each other from afar— lee yuri/inhyeong (22) | main rapper and visual in royal court | confident, eloquent and manipulative | let's just say zarah has gained inhyeong's respect on her deep hatred for men and inhyeong is curious of that. as they are both in the 94line and also rappers, people expect them both have interactions on screen. they both have no problem on acting close but they are alright in each other's company somehow.

LOVE HATE INTEREST
 
PERSONALITY  even though he is a responsible manager and is a great organizer, he can also be cold-hearted. a very observant person that catches things very quick. can be shrewd at times too. 

MEETING  she was running late to her dancing class and bumped to him. zarah was about to apologize but he cut her to it and literally scold her for no reason; shouting on how rude she is being towards a staff. If you looked through her eyes of the situation, it wasn't completely her fault to be scolded in such way especially in public. she just glared at him and walked away, making the man fuming even more. zarah just hates his guts since that day.

HATE STORY  zarah tries extra hard to avoid the foreign manager at all costs and she is very thankful that geuji isn't their permanent group manager or she'll have a fit. as seaing will soon have schedules outside korea especially zarah, she'll stay quiet and ignores him as much as she can other than answering his questions with one word at a time. somehow, an incident happened during a photoshoot where the photgrapher asks geunji to fill in for a female model who doesn't seem to show up and the theme of the photoshoot changed last minute as well.

geunji eventually agreed to do the photoshoot and they have to get close for it. zarah was trying hard not to show her weak side to the foreign manager when the manager leaned in and whispered, "just relax and it'll be over soon enough. you can do it." that made the girl blush into a shade of cotton candy but his words calmed her down that her fear subsided and the photoshoot went well. 

she certainly didn't feel anything romantic towards him but he is the first man that she can get close and touch physically without having her usual panic attacks. even so, she still hates him with burning passion. 

RELATIONSHIP STATUS  it's complicated

ENDING  her fear of men is slowly healing thanks to her members and of course yang geunji. she doesn't want to admit if she have or even had feelings for the man but it's also thanks to him, she has grown stronger than she has before in facing men.

ENDING
 


COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ummm, i thought that you'll accept zarah the polished rose as your catfish ahaha. do ask if you have any questions on her. i'll add more pictures and make this apply pretty once i get my internet back. the rapmon pictures are just there cause i can't change it yet so yeah ignore them yes? 

SCENE REQUESTS 
later on when they're all united or something maybe celebrating an anniversary of their group or whenever you think suits for her to reveal this: they have their own party in their dorm, the members have an honest confession time and zarah tells them on the real reason why she 'hates' men and also her phobia towards men. she apologizes to her members if she wasn't really the leader that they wanted to have and also apologizes to the boys for being so mean towards them also informing that she is slowly trying to heal from her phobia. she then tells them to keep this huge secret of hers and that she really trusts them with all her heart.
someone finding out about her so-called crush (maybe inhyeong?) and counters back with sarcasm, winning the conversation like a sass that she is.
 in a variety show, the word family pops out and zarah surprises everyone when the hosts were asking of her biological mother. she answered well about her family topic and mentioned of her adoptive family but never mentioned of her father. 
 lemon family photoshoots, duet, group and holiday collabrations with aurora and royal court. 
 zarah communicating with some fans using sign language after noticing their hand gestures in a fansign and chatted with them for some time happily. other members then asked her about it and was in awe as it's their first time knowing her ability. 

PASSWORD 
"yoomi definitely." said the leader in a confident tone. "not just because she's a female but also because i find her to be a worthy opponent of mine when it comes to self-defense. i still manage to control her from accidentally flipping everyone around." she lightly chuckles at the interviewer and then smiles politely.
