personality traits

— positives: playful, warm, confident, hard-working, charismatic, selfless
— negatives: naive, passive, ignorant, delicate, magnanimous


 
Personality
〄 playful: Chailee is the type of person who is full of jokes and giggles. she takes a lot of things that are said with a grain of salt, and makes friends easily because of it. She has a humor that others can connect with/can't deny. she tries to make averybody feel welcomed so that nobody is ever left out. she's naturally good at talking, and is sometimes seen as the group's spokesperson. 

〄 warm/selfless:  She is a person with a very warm heart. Moreover, it's easy to sway her because of this. She loves cute things and if you go on to tell her a sob story, there's no doubt she'd cry. If you tell her a really lovey-dovey , she becomes instantly flustered and giggly. She is full of understanding, and despite being young (for her age), she is a very good listener and gives advice as best as she can. She won't give you advice that she doesn't follow though, in thoughts of being called out as a hypocrite.

〄 confident: Chailee is pretty confident in herself and what she can bring to the table. She likes to think that she's a great person, and that she can make a difference in somebodies life if she tries hard enough. There are exceptions to her confidence level though, that not even her close friends know about in fear that they'd use it against her to bring her down, or that it'd get leaked.  i mean, nodoby wants their flaws to get magnified, so she tends to keep them to herself. 

〄 hard-working:  It's because she's so hard-working that she is where she is. She trained for a long time, and trained herself even before that in order to do what she does now. She is coldly determined, and because of that she will be able to achieve anything she puts her mind to. she hates being let down and letting others down, so she lets that drive her to work hard.  

〄 charismatic/charming: she has very good stage presence that she's been working on ever since she began training. She learned a lot from her her juniors and seniors and has become even more charming because of it. Her "perfect" age aids to make her image shine. since she's good with her words, and gives off a graceful performance, it amplifies her trait even more.

〄 naive: Because she is still young, there are a lot of things that Chailee tends to brush off too quickly. And She knows that she's still considered a "child" in a lot of people's eyes so when it comes to certain adult situations she tends to skip past all of the effects that would come with the choices she makes. Overall, she is pretty much an "innocent soul". This trait could wind up putting her in a lot of trouble one day whether it be accidental or not.

〄 passive/magnanimous: Because she's so kind and caring, she often forgets how it is to be mean or to stand her ground. She does not complain about the things she doesn't agree on, and she takes criticism, good or bad. When the going gets tough, she'd rather stay out of it , and let nature take it's course. "Forgive and Forget"; even to those who've done her wrong. Because she thinks that way, many people pitty her, but so long as she's happy, she could care less.

〄 ignorant: Again...she's young. There are more than a handful of situations and things she doesn't know. Each day is a step toward being more wiser than the day before. But as of now, Chailee is walking into a whole other world world blindly. she isn't sure what's on the other side of her debut, and will most likely make several mistakes in the process. Through them, she is going to grow as a person, and adapt to the world around her; the world of an idol. 

〄 delicate: Chailee isn't so delicate emotion-wise; But she's delicate when it comes to physical contact. She can move and groove in any which way, but her skin bruises easily. It's been that way since birth, so she can't be grabbed too roughly. It's a high complaint for the industry because make-up artists have to spend more effort covering up her many bruises she obtains on a daily. 


background
It had been two years since addison was told she'd never have children again --after the twins, of course who'd been born one years prior to receiving the news. It was hard, that alone was a make or break for addison, because she wanted to desperately have a family with her husband. and although they both worked in the medical feild, william knew just what needed to be done in order to make their dream come true. unfortunately, in order to do so, they both had to work for it; and at the moment addison just wasn't having any of it, she wanted time to mourn in her sorrow. however, as the suggestion of surrogacy was thrown on the table by her husband, she got better for the chance of a life time; for the chance to become the family they wanted to be. it had taken a lot of work for them to choose the right surrogate, and it was even harder when they were ocean's apart, but addie and will hadn't given up on their dream of having a family. 

On the date of her birth, "
Baby S" --or at least that's what the surrogate called her-- was handed over to William and Addison Rees in akihabara, japan; where will and addie had traveled thousands of miles to be when their daughter came out of the womb. she was beautiful, oh, so beautiful. the family fell in love with her, and she was the perfect match. "Baby S", was named Tinsley Shea rees. immediately after being released from the hospital, the family took her to their home in the states until she turned eleven and out-grew the city, with her crazy imagination and outstanding talent. and although it was true that she never excelled in studies, she was a very good performer, and she lived to shine on stage.  there wasn't enough resources for her in the united states to continue her career, she didn't want to be an american artist, she wanted to take up something of her own ethnicity and after doing proper research, she decided to take up korean pop. she didn't want to be overshaddowed in a thirteen member group in the japanese industry; her talents were too good for that, she wanted and needed a chance to get started, and she needed to be closer to korea; but the closest her parents would go was japan, where she was born. she was eleven, so she didn't mind it one bit. the move gave her more inspiration, and the chance to prove herself. and up until the day she made it into SM entertainment, she worked her a** off. 

likes

dislikes

Trainee years four years and seven months.
Trainee life upon signing on to be a trainee; she had to let go of her culture in order to embrace a newer one. at the begenning, she was teased for doing things a certain way, the japanese-american way of things. that alone had been hard, but learning things that were foreign were harder. she doubted herself many times, and she wouldn't have gotten through any of it without mia and her families support. she overcame all of her fears and worries within two years. she opened her mind to learn and in the things around her like a sponge. when her perspective shifted, her trainee life became much easier. she fit in with more of the girls that she hadn't before, and dancing, and singing came easy too. she was climbing the roster ranking quickly, and with due time, she was chosen for the velvet line-up.

mia

backup Chanyeol, chen, or lay 

Personality  mia is a very wise and intelligent person. really, he could have been a philosopher if he really put his mind to it. he's very determined in this sort of sense. 

outwardly, mia doesn't seem like the type of person to get riled up. however, on the inside he could be compared to a fight me child. if he puts himself through something, he usually see's himself through to the end. to others, he can seem pretty mysterious (someone you don't really want to approach)because he's so quiet and observant, but  if you do get close enough to become his friend, he does become funny, and very loyal. getting on his bad side isn't something you'd like to do either. he doesn't go up to your face and talk smack to you, nor does he say smack behind your back, but he'd be more of the "forgive and never forget" kind of person. he'll remember what you did to him, and will be very mature about it when you're around; but he'll never see you the same way again, nor whil he be doing any favors for you . 

mia is the type of person who does things for the long-term endeaver, so whenever he chooses to do something it's often well thought out. so sometimes he get's easily overwhelmed at little changes or adjustments and can fall into a short-lived depression. at times like this, he tends to shy away from people and voicing his opnions. 


Love story Mia and tinsley met when tinsley first moved back to japan. she had just turned twelve and he was fourteen. tinsley had gotten a job at the same daycare he worked at; and at first they just kept to themselves, but tinsley, being the way she is; approached him. she'd make small talk with him whenever she could, and put herself out there for him to notice. it was a no-brainer to say that she'd had a crush on him from the first instant she'd seen him. her first crush, actually and it hit her harder than anything had ever hit her. often enough, she found herself staring and daydreaming over him like he was some sort of idol (little did she know he'd become just that; a visual kei artist). 

how we got together Later on in their friendship, although mia had decided to quit his job at the daycare to take on music full-time, he still decided to keep her around. he invited her to his practices where the other group members teased them about how close they were. It took mia a long time to finally proclaim his own feelings for tinsley too. But he did so before he signed his contract for mejibray. he liked her more than he could say, and at that point, he didn't want anybody else to walk by his side but her. 

interactions as of today, they're pretty lovey-dovey. and they know that public displays of affection are gross, but they'll sneak a kiss every so often. mia especially loves holding tinsley in his arms. And he definitely can't go without holding her hand. no, he's not obsessed with her; just infatuated, deeply in love with this girl that he fears letting her go. mia trusts tinsley completely, that's why their long distance relationship works. and they make the most of the time they have together.
