PLOTLINE:  The Inspirational Muse

LOVE INTEREST:  Kai / Kim Jong In of EXO
BACK-UP LOVE INTEREST:  Lisa / Lalisa Manoban of Blackpink

PERSONALITY:  There's a whole other world when it comes to Kai. When he's on the dance floor, where people often see him, he's a passionate seductive Casanova, throwing on grins and smirks mid-routine. The emotions he put into a dance makes clear that he has a heart for what he's pursuing, not just doing it for fun.  He's quite hard-working, too, pushing himself through even though he's had injuries. (Kind of like Alice, hmm.) People often think of him as a playboy, but really, he's just a big sweetheart. He has a big heart, and he cares deeply for his friends. He's easy-going too, he jokes around a lot. He can be so cute and innocent sometimes, too! The good thing about being friends with Kai is that he'll always lend out an ear for you, and he'll get worried whenever someone's feeling distressed.

INTERACTIONS: Ah, famous Kim Jongin. A talented student of the Performing Arts major, a dancing and acting prodigy. You must have been living under a rock to not have heard about him. Welp, apparently Alice never lived under a rock, nor had she ever seen the senior on campus. That is, until her current semester's final project. Her mentor was bored of her nature-themed animations, so she was tasked to create something different. "Take a look around! You can't progress if you're stuck with one particular style!" her mentor instructed. So she brainstormed to no avail. She was walking to the campus library thinking of ideas when she heard music playing in a distance. The sound of the piano intrigued her, and she walked closer to see where it came from. It came from inside the dance studio, and there he was. Kim Jongin, dancing alone, emotions so intense she felt like he was telling a story of his own. Her heart skipped a beat, and her hands got hold of her bullet journal and she started sketching. She imagined him as the main character of her new project. Unbeknownst to her, the music had stopped, and Kai was staring at her confused. When she found out, she nearly squeaked before running off to the library.

Days went on just like that. She would stalk Kai dancing, alone or in class, from outside the studio. She sketched his movements as new ideas sprung up in her brain. She would leave before he could see her, disappearing like the wind. Kai barely noticed. When he did, he'd shrug it off thinking she was one of most female colleagues who would stand outside the studio watching handsome guys dance. It was a relief for Alice, too; she didn't need to worry about being too creepy or something. However, after a few weeks, Alice felt frustrated. She had a rough concept in mind, but she can only get so far by watching him from a distance. She needed details. She needed to know what her main character goes through, what made him feel various emotions throughout his story. She needed him to tell her. On the other hand, Kai got curious as well. What was it about the girl that stood outside his studio with her bullet journal? Did she need any help? Should he go and talk to her after all? Would Alice give him a wrong impression?

♦ Ending:
Comments: SO! Heya!  Lin here with a brand new OC Alice! I really hope you enjoyed reading through that. I know quality over quantity is a thing here but I just can't help writing all the deets >u<. It was a bit challenging when it said Kai didn't even know Alice existed, so I think I'll just give it a start and you can have plenty of room for their development. Come to think of it, if you haven't noticed, Kai's personality is similar to Alan's, so he reminds her of her brother and stuff. He can help her open up from there. Because, yeah, Alice is an overall introvert and I thought it'd be nice to see her character develop as the plot goes on. Oh! About the fashion/appearance thingy, I wrote an in-campus-grounds dresscode because idk if Seong uses uniforms or not, so you can just scratch that part if it does. I think that's all for now... if you want to ask or comment on anything, please do tell me XD. thnk you so muchhh! (P.S. MY INTERNET BROKE AND IT ONLY GOT SAVED UP TILL THE INTERACTIONS PART SO I HAVE TO WRITE EVERYTHING ALL OVER AGAIN UGH GOD FORSAKE ME :') )
Scene Requests:
• When they do get close and Alice is asking Kai about emotion details (how one can convey emotion without words), Kai offers to teach her how to dance. It's a way for Alice to learn how to express herself, of sorts. (Ursula: don't underestimate the power of BODEH LANGUAGEEEE)
• Alice. Kai. Both love animals. Solution? Kai's dogs. Let cuteness explode!!!
• Alice notices that Kai's not in his studio despite his schedule so she gets worried sick and starts wandering the entire campus looking for him.
• Kai pulling a Romeo and Juliet pickup line on Alice (he has drama as part of his major), to which Alice awkwardly brushes it off while flushing red as a tomato.

 

Creative: Since a young age, Alice has always been very imaginative. Give her any theme and minutes later, you'll see her pencils and pens dancing across a piece of paper, transforming it into an art that tells a story. She's mostly inspired by nature, for she believes that there are yet so much to discover about the environment around her. Possibilities are endless to what illustrations she can create from looking at forests and mountains. She's detailed, too–she could spend up to 15 minutes looking for the right shade of color alone.  

Loyal: Alice has a rather small group of friends, but she learned that harmony and loyalty play a vital role in her friendship. One wrong mistake and it will all turn into a disaster. She's never been the type to betray and/or leave her friends for her personal needs.

Humble: Alice is quite a talented artist and an equally caring friend. Many have praised her for being so, usually teachers, family members, and people of the elder generation. However, she takes all the flattery in and just chuckles it off, only saying "Thank you" quietly. She never brags about her skills, neither does she seek power over her friends just to be praised and worshipped.

Compassionate: She is a very selfless person. She would offer help at any chance possible, whether it's emotional support, or sending her friends food when they need it, helping old people cross the street, etc. She suffers seeing people suffer, and she puts herself in their shoes. She thinks everyone deserves to live a peaceful, problem-free life.

Hard-working: She would do just about anything to make sure her art pleases people. She takes critique and advice from her mentors and fellow colleagues, and she uses it for her progress. She will never give up learning and improving herself.  

 

Soft-spoken: She has a very gentle voice. Too gentle, if I do say so myself. She never really talks much, and she thinks that so long as she can hear herself, people can hear her as well. She's never really screamed or shouted as well, so people can't really tell when she's being angry, irritated, or frustrated. 

Socially awkward: When she was young, she seldom goes out to socialize. In her group of friends, she wasn't quite the shining star. She tends to stay to the side and watch her friends have all the fun. She's just scared of embarrassing herself. This also apparently makes it hard–and I mean REALLY hard– for her to hang out with the opposite gender. It's not that she doesn't want to, she just doesn't know how. She doesn't know whether she's reacting the right way or not, so she just tends to avoid interacting at all.

Overthinking: So, she's compassionate alright. She takes critiques and improves, sure. Those are the long-term effects that you see because of her overthinking. When she is being critiqued, she instantly feels down and cries when she's back in her dorm. It's a side effect of her social awkwardness.

Impractical: Did I say she was hard-working? Oh, boy she is. When she's on intense work-mode, she forgets her meal and sleep schedule. She neglects practical matters like chores and entertainment. She doesn't realize it, but sometimes it makes her friends worried about her well-being. She's gotten sick a few times by doing so. Heck, she even forgot her birthday once because she was so busy with a big project.

Idealistic: There's a slim difference between a perfectionist and an idealist. A perfectionist has their idea set on practice, and they intend on making it as perfect as what they had in their head. An idealist, like Alice, plans on things where reality may not meet its circumstances, thus it is unable to make the plan come to life. Basically, it's the opposite of realism. Alice's imaginative mind may wander a bit too far sometimes, and she has to remind herself that facilities are limited. Don't be shocked if you come to her room and her trash can is filled with scuffled paper, because that's the product of her crazy concepts that may not even come to life.

BACKGROUND: Alice Wong was born in Taiwan from a fairly upper-class family. Alice's parents considered her too good for any school in their country, so they decided to hire a tutor instead. She was homeschooled until she reached high school when her parents decided she needed to socialize after all. So Alice went to school for the first time, and she was quite invisible to the rest of the school, spending her recess drawing illustrations and writing short stories. Students only noticed her for her art skills, always competing to pick her whenever a teacher assigns a group project involving arts. Before graduating high school, she told her parents that she wanted to focus on arts as her major, specifically Digital Film Production, for her love of drawing and storytelling. Her parents refused at first, they wanted her to be a fine businesswoman, but they decided that her elder brother would take over their company anyway. Initially, Alice applied for a university in Japan, since her drawing style was rather anime-like than 3D. She got rejected due to her inadequate skills, so she spent a whole year idling after high school graduation, spending her time doing online commissions and saving up money. She then applied to Seong University, which she got accepted.

RELATIONSHIPS: 

Alan Wong | 29 | fun, quirky, easy-going | Being born from the same parents, Alan was Alice's first friend. He was the fun extroverted sibling, countering her shy introverted self. He was the one who supported her artistic dreams, and he would always make time in midst of his busy schedule to call her every week. He was her motivational and emotional support. When she couldn't sleep, she'd text him or sometimes call him.
