Backup ulzzang/model name: Park Hwan Hui | Hana
Height: 158 cm
Weight: 47 kg
Clothing style:
❧ c a s u a l || Ri Young, possibly because of her brother's constant watching eye, dresses very conservatively. With a light color palette, she's more on the sweet, feminine style of clothes really. Ri Young is very fond of long sleeved shirts, and layers and layers of clothing. Since she gets cold easily, most of her closet consists of long sleeved outfits.
❧ f o r m a l || Since it's quite rare for her to be in formal wear, Ri Young goes all out. After all, she's still a girl, and nothing her older brother can nag will change what she chooses to wear during this occassion. This part of her closet is very minimal though, and does not really have a lot of variety. It's either black or white with Ri Young, never anything in between.
❧ d o r m || She likes comfort, and things that keep her warm. Since there isn't really anything [or anyone] in the dorm for her to impress with, she chooses to go into a state of comfort when in it, sweatshirts, hoodies, and cotton shorts, usually.

{ Candidate Information }
Personality:
❧ "All of us are actors on a stage, I just so happen to be the understudy." ||In very simple words, Lee Ri Young is like a shadow; always there but never actually noticed. Partly because of her soft spoken personality, mostly because she practically lived under her older brother Eunhyuk's shadow. Though she doesn't mind the lack of attention, she's partly thankful actually as there's less drama on her part. Ri Young doesn't like a lot of unimportant things messing up her life as she's very much afraid of change, something people often don't realize, not even herself at times.
❧ "No one gets hurt when no one gets close." || Ri Young doesn't talk a lot, not unless they talk to her first. Though very soft spoken, Ri Young does have bluntly honest tendencies. Compared to her friendly brother, she's also very aloof; not exactly hard to approach to, but it's quite a feat if she's the one who noticed you first. Ri Young is afraid of getting hurt and therefore, distances herself from the crowd as much as she can. One could say she's a coward, Ri Young counters this by saying she's realitic. People always get hurt - why? Because they attach themselves too much to another. Ri Young doesn't want that to happen, she never wants to attach herself to anything so much that it would seem like she's selling her soul to another. Despite Ri Young's reserved nature, she lives freely to her own accord. And her freedom might be the only thing keeping her sane.
❧ "Nothing is what it seems." || Ri Young - though exuding an image of nonchalance and coldness - is actually quite a sensitive and emotional person. She's viewed as cool and cold, and opposite of the warm atmosphere her brother gives, because she's not like him - not entirely anyway. But Eunhyuk will always assure people that Ri Young is a very gentle girl, who has a fragile, glass heart. Despite not talking a lot, her feelings as shown through her eyes and her expressions. She can smile as easily as she can frown, all with using her eyes. One just needs to work hard to figure her out.
❧ "You don't seem to know what you're talking about." || What people don't realize - ironically, including her as well - is that Ri Young was put in the East Wing for a reason. She exudes an aura of a brother complex with Eunhyuk, often clinging around him whenever she can and seemingly acting dependent on her older brother, but it's almost the other way around. The only person she "clings" to is Eunhyuk, and the only reason is that it's because she's afraid he'll disappear again if she doesn't, not because she's dependent on him. Heck, she's lived five years without him and lived to tell the tale.
❧ "I am me." || Ri Young has a very peculiar personality about her. She's generally classified as wimpy, nerdy, and mostly classified as one of the "scaredy-cats" in school, and yet she was put into the Wing that housed the most virtually stable members. This is because hidden behind her quiet, still lake persona, lies a gushing river of emotions ready to overflow. She's an introvert and is entirely dependent on only one person; herself. She's strong enough to stand on her own and fight her battles, people just step in because they think she's too fragile. Ri Young is also someone who gets the job done eloquently and efficiently, but just doesn't do it because everyone else offers to do it for her [again with the weak image]. It's just pretty funny how she's the only who doesn't seem to realize this.

Trivia/Fun facts:
❧ She's somewhat scared of students from the South Wing, as they are able to produce lightning. She has a strange phobia for lightning and cannot stand to even hear thunder. This includes Eunhyuk especially, since he's a senior.
❧ She drowned when she was younger, resulting to her never learning how to swim. It's also why she's scared of the water.
❧ She shows symptoms of OCD.
❧ The reason she holds on to Hyuk's sleeve when they're together is because she's scared he'll disappear again if she doesn't.
❧ Ri Young is a Catholic and is religious in her own way.
❧ Donghae likes holding her hand because it's very "small and soft and squishy". After Sungyeol had seen Donghae do it, he often tried to hold her hand as well - only to have Eunhyuk constantly glare at his attempts.
❧ A lot consider her to be very unlucky, even herself.
❧ Ri Young considers herself as pretty average in soccer, though she's quite fond of the sport.
❧ She was the one to give Eunhyuk his nickname, but she calls him Hyukppa instead [an inside joke between the two of them - he calls her Risaeng, she calls him Hyukppa, a mix of his name and "oppa"]
❧ Both Donghae and Sungyeol try hard to make Ri Young call them oppa, to no avail. She doesn't really call anyone oppa as she's too flustered by the endearment.

{ Magical Powers }
Unique Capabilities: Ri Young had always been very good at sports, despite not being a very sporty girl. She was especially good in track as her agility, stamina and speed were quite remarkable.
How did you develop that capability: When Eunhyuk was still around, he often played with Ri Young since Sora was usually very busy and he had bossing rights with his younger sister. Eunhyuk himself was a very sporty guy and they often raced each other through any weather. Perhaps it was because she grew up with a guy that she managed to play like one.
Special Magical Capabilities: East Wing | Icy Shackles + Water Surge
Back Up Magical Capabilities: West Wing | Fiery Burst + Burning Speed
Level: Icy Shackles { 3 } | Water Surge { 2 } | Fiery Burst { 3 } | Burning Speed { 5 }
Usage:
Ri Young had been very surprised to find out she was in the East Wing as she has a phobia of water, it's a reason why she doesn't use them often and why her level is so low with Water Surge. Ri Young does not use her powers outside of classes, because she is really not comfortable with her "element" being her one fear. It is only when she's extremely uncomfortable or scared that she loses control of her own powers.

{ Candidate's Family }
Family History:
Ri Young was born the youngest out of three in the Lee family, with a dedicated and loving mother and a hardworking yet fun-loving father in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. They weren't exactly the richest bunch, but they managed with a roof above their heads and food in their mouths. There were a lot of times where the family was constantly fumbling over a financial crisis, both parents having ran away from their respective families because of the objections of their relationship. But they were happy, and felt loved, and there really wasn't anything else they would really ask for.
Their happy life turned upside down though when Ri Young's older brother Eunhyuk vanished without a trace when she was younger. It was a horrible night for all of them, and Ri Young had only been 14 then. Since Ri Young was the one who Eunhyuk was the closest to, she had been the most affected by the sudden change.
Age: 56
Occupation: Mathematics professor
Personality: A very dedicated father who always works hard to provide for his family. Although he always comes home late due to all the piles of paper work he needs to finish, Hyung Jae never forgets his family. He's very optimistic and upbeat, despite his old age. He never likes to just sit around and do nothing - Hyung Jae is always on the move.
Closeness: Ri Young was a bit of a daddy's girl, though it was obvious that he favored Eunhyuk, being the only boy in the family. Ri Young is a bit spoiled with her dad, as she's the youngest and therefore has special priveleges.
Age: 46
Occupation: Manages a restaurant with some of her friends
Personality: Duk Boon is what one would call a workahlic, always working odd jobs here and there to help provide for her family until she and her friends decided to put up a restaurant. She's very family-oriented, and everything she does are things that she thinks could make her children's lives easier. She's a bit strict, as opposed to their semi-laid bac father, especially with money, but her children know better. She only wants what's best for them, of course.
Closeness: Duk Boon had always been closer to Sora than Ri Young, but ever since Eunhyuk's disappearance, her mother had doted on both girls equally. She thought it was because of her that Eunhyuk suddenly ran away, and is determined not to let her other daughters fall away from her grasps like her only son.
Age: 24
eOccupation: Working student [majoring in medicine]
Personality: Sora is hardworking and is never the type to give up. She's a bit strict with her younger siblings [especially with the only boy, Eunhyuk] but loves them both to the point that the only reason she even studies so hard is because she wants them to live a good life. She may be eccentric at times, but Sora is usually just very cheery and bright, a traight unknowingly passed down by their optimistic father.
Closeness: Sora and Ri Young had always been close, but Sora doted on Eunhyuk the most because of his rash personality. When Eunhyuk disappeared so suddenly, it caused some major disturbances with the family and Sora initially blamed herself as Eunhyuk and her had a fight right before the night he disappeared. Ri Young ended up being her sister's pillar of support.
Siblings: Lee "Eunhyuk" Hyuk Jae
Age: 21
Occupation: Senior student
Personality: Loud-mouthed, eccentric, and dorky; Lee Hyukjae in a nutshell. He's very hardworking yet easy going; he's determined when he sets his mind to it, but is extremely lazy other wise. Though Eunhyuk does have a bit of a temper, it's easy to go away; he gets irritated for about a few seconds before brushing it off and laughing the problem away. He's not one to hold grudges, nor is he one to even hold any sort of problem within him. To Eunhyuk, life is a game that you just need to go with the flow with.
Closeness: Eunhyuk was Ri Young's everything; her support, her best friend, her enemy, and her brother. They shared a special kind of bond with each other. Eunhyuk had always been protective of Ri Young, since she was his little sister, to the point his best friends accuse him of a sister-complex. Ri Young, in turn, was very involved in his life as well and would always be his voice of reason. When Eunhyuk suddenly disappeared, Ri Young had gone into a depression, one that she still hasn't completely overcome yet.
——————————————————————————
{ Social Life }
Age: 19
Personality:
Choding, choding, choding; Lee Sungyeol in a nutshell. He acts like a kid, talks like a kid, and even whines like a kid. Somewhat egotistical and explosive, it's hard to keep up with him. Despite being one of the most annoying people in school, Sungyeol is very hard to dislike, his natural charisma always drawing people in. Though it might sometimes seem that Sungyeol is a very "blank" guy, he's actually very tricky - his innocent image only a facade for what exactly lies underneath. Sungyeol is often a very happy child who likes to play tricks on people, which manages to get him in more trouble than he can manage. It's a good thing he has an extensive list of friends, as in those who owe him more than one favor.
Despite his easy going personality, Sungyeol is definitely someone that you should not easily mess with. He's trickier than a fox and everything he does is calculated down to the last breath to his own liking. He's a bit two faced, so it's very important you do not get on his badside - not that he openly expresses he has one, which really makes it all the more scarier.
Others:
Sungyeol likes to say it was "Fate" that brought them together, Ri Young often says it was because of her horrible luck. Sungyeol had gotten into trouble again, and Ri Young - who had been wandering the halls at that time - seemed to be the perfect alibi for him. Ri Young played along with it and Sungyeol managed to get out of trouble, as a sign of thanks to her, he would become her friend, making him the first friend she had in the weird school. Despite being from another wing and a self proclaimed "veteran" of the school, Sungyeol often accompanies her, especially when she still hadn't belonged to her own clique.
Sungyeol became her pseudo-older brother, especially since they were both in the same year. He became a sort of replacement to Eunhyuk, something her older brother greatly frowns upon. Eunhyuk is very wary with him since Sungyeol likes to drape his arm around her shoulder or do something intimate in order to fluster Ri Young. He only does this to annoy Ri Young though, their relationship is completely platonic.
Friends: Lee Donghae { 21 } | Lee "Sunny" Soon Kyu { 20 }
Donghae is mostly like a child; naive, short-tempered, and constantly oblivious with everything. Since Eunhyuk is his best friend, Ri Young often hangs out with him. He took it to himself to actually become another of her pseudo-brother [she seemed to be gaining more and more as she started in the school...] and is about as protective of her as Eunhyuk. Donghae reminds Ri Young a lot about her own brother, the only thing that differentiated them was that Donghae was much more upbeat and active than Eunhyuk. He's a ball of sunshine that cannot be contained so easily.
Sunny, much like her namesake, is a very bright and cheery girl. Despite being from a different wing, Sunny is still one of Ri Young's closer friends. Sunny was very intrigued with Ri Young, after finding out from Eunhyuk [who was in her own wing] that he had a younger sister and took it upon herself to get to know the girl better. Sunny reminded Ri Young a lot about Sora back home, who was equally optimistic and friendly. Sunny seemed to be the only girl Ri Young hung out with frequently, other than the girls she had gotten into the school with.
Rivals/Enemies: Kim Taeyeon { 21 }
It's not that Ri Young dislikes Taeyeon, not at all. In fact, Taeyeon seemed to have become Ri Young's role model of some sorts. She was her sunbae, and they were from the same Wing. Taeyeon took it upon herself to get the shy girl to upon up a little more. This should've been something that made Ri Young more comfortable, but Taeyeon seems to have intimidated her through the process with her overly-friendly attitude. She's quite awkward with this sunbae, despite liking her a lot as a person. Ri Young is barely able to speak when in her presence.

{ Other half }
Personality:
A calm and quiet type of guy, Sungmin is never one to lose his cool nor is he one to act via his impulses. He's rational, and thinks before he acts - a great contrast to those he hangs around with like Eunhyuk or Donghae. Sungmin might seem to be the type of person who is about as two-faced as it gets as no one can be as perfect as he acts, he is simply a sincere kind of guy. Though he admittedly does change his persona often, depending on who he is with, Sungmin is a genuinely honest guy that older brothers can rest assured leave their little sisters with.
Sungmin is a walking contradiction that nobody is really sure how to classify. He's more mature than his friends and is the level-headed one of their group, but can be childish with his wants and needs as well. He's cute in an adorable, nice guy way, but can be dominating and y in the blink of an eye. He's feminine, but manly, and overall just a very complex character that simply pulls you in no matter how you try to stay away. He's nothing special, but in that sense, he is. It's because he merely fits in with the crowd that he stands out.
Sungmin is a chameleon who changes based on who he is with. He is able to go from an adorable, aegyo-filled boy with a noona to a manly, and strong willed young man when in front of fellow men. Some might think this is quite deceptive of him, but really no one is complaining. He's a very charismatic guy with no one really capable of hating him. They just can't. Sungmin is the nice guy everyone can't help but like.
His relationship status: Eunhyuk claims he's been single for a long time; he hasn't been dating anyone since Sunny. But with the way he glances at Sunny when he thinks no one is looking, makes her think twice if Sungmin had really gotten over her...
How you act with one another:
Considering how Eunhyuk and Donghae are two of Sungmin's closer friends, yes they do meet often. At times, more often than what Ri Young would like, really. Since Ri Young is Eunhyuk's dongsaeng, Sungmin tries to treat her like family since the three of them [Eunhyuk, Donghae, and Sungmin] consider themselves to be "blood brothers". That doesn't help Ri Young though, as Sungmin's charming personality seems to have captivated the girl. He was every little girl's Prince Charming - the kind you'd only see in Disney movies.
Since the fact that Sunny had been Sungmin's ex-girlfriend was made known to Ri Young though, it had become a bit awkward on her part. Sunny was her friend, and it wasn't easy to become Ri Young's friend. It's some sort of unwritten rule between girls that your friend's boyfriend [no matter if it was a previous relationship] is off-limits. Because of that, she tried to avoid Sungmin as much as possible without looking like she was rude. Because really, watching him from afar wasn't considered as "breaking the rule", right?
Back-Up Love interest: Kim Sunggyu
Personality:
How to properly describe the entity that is Kim Sunggyu? To put it simply perhaps, he is a man who knows where his morals and beliefs lie. He's sort of militarstic, strict, and is all about discipline. Sunggyu knows what he wants and does everything in his power to achieve it. Some say that he is a bit of a perfectionist in that sense, and quite scary as well - he may be a bit rough around the edges, but Sunggyu is a real sweetheart once you get to know him.
In a glance, he might seem to be a person who is cold and intimidating, in a sense, that is quite accurate. Sunggyu is someone who knows his priorities and is responsible enough to always be the decisive voice in the group. He's sort of the leader-type; a bit bossy, and quite naggy, but in the end you'll realize all of his harsh words and strict commands are for your own good as well. Sunggyu is quite gentle in his own way to, though. He cares a lot about those who are younger than him, and respects those who are older. He's just very stubborn and does not want other people to see this kind of "weak" behaviour from him.
His relationship status: Single, but does not seem to be someone interested in dating.
How you act with one another:
Sungyeol introduced the two of them, surprised that they hadn't met each other yet since they were both from the same Wing. Sungyeol thought they would have been perfect for each other, considering their somewhat similar, yet clashing personalities. They're not very close, but because of Sungyeol's persistency, they managed to somehow hang around each other often. It's always quite quiet between them whenever Sungyeol is not around - but it's the comfortable kind of silence and that's very relaxing and such a difference from the norm Ri Young is used to.
Though their relationship kind of revolves around Sungyeol as Sunggyu becomes the sort of Eunhyuk-esque older brother to her when said prankster is around Ri Young. Sunggyu usually interferes with the "intimate moments" Sungyeol does with a quick reprimand, something that the Wing has taken note of. Ri Young is often embarrassed when Sunggyu's "older brother" nature comes out to "protect" her from Sungyeol, but is nonetheless thankful for him.

{ Trivia }
Suggested School Name: Elementia. Because oh gosh I am about as creative as a rock. OTL I'm so sorry I can't be of any help.
Reason why you want to enroll in the school:
Magic has always interested me and I'm always up for a good story. Your writing style is very organized and is just how I like it; the mistakes are minimal and easy to read over, while the formatting is neat and easy on the eyes. Also, I'm just very interested on how you'll be able to express a character like Ri Young, since she's the type of character that is easily made a "cliche" in most stories. :)
Suggestions:
I really am not confident about giving you ideas as, I've mentioned before, I'm as creative as a rock. However, I can give you "tips" on writing the fic itself.
❧ You will be having a minimum of 12 "main" characters, I presume? Don't worry as in my own apply fic, I have 13. The feat is difficult, but not impossible. Just make sure that you won't be confused on who's who and how they act and such. To make this easier, try to do little notes in your notepad or a word document for it.
❧ Again, 12 characters is a lot. Do not make them all appear in the same chapter! Focus on one person at least, a maximum of four. Cut the parts equally and do not introduce them so abruptly. With so many characters, trust me, it will get confusing.
❧ The plot is coming done nicely, with how you pace the chapters. They're from different student's point of views, whom I assume also have different standings in the school. Keep this up so your flow will come undone nicely.
❧ Be aware of what you write. Does it still stick to the plot? Is this relevant to the story? Will the readers anticipate this twist? Always question what you write, but never be ashamed/insecure of your work. Your best critic will always be yourself.
❧ If you need any help in grammar, feel free to pm/approach me. c: I'm a semi-trained beta-reader so feel free to ask.
Comments:
Well, first off. I hope you do forgive me for some of the less than HD images [especially in the family part, my Lord!]. I'm trying to make this seem as "real" as possible, so I really used Eunhyuk's family~ c: though the names are more than unconfirmed, haha. Any who - thank you for making this apply fic~ if I've missed out on anything, please tell me so! <3
