Character Background ;

Birthplace: London, England
Occupation: College student majoring in business
Summary of your backstory:

┆From birth, Junli has had success drilled into her mind and perfection imprinted in her soul. However, coming from a family whom thrive pride, appearances, and prosperity, this isn't anything new. It is especially hard on her, being the youngest and the only hope for her parents in succeeding the business, for her other siblings have taken other successful paths. Ever since she began to speak, all she's ever known is the business, and as she grew, it compelled her to believe that this was her calling, not because she (maybe) loved it but because she was always so good at it. The accomplishment of her entire family as well as the expectation of the public burdened an abundance of pressure to which she has learned to shoulder over time. Her perceptiveness is drawn from reading tell-tale signs of business men and women lying, and her pessimism is derived from the constant varying expectation and pressure of the rich for her to succeed and fail.

Because of her experiences garnered from years of attending parties and meetings, she is familiar with not only the glamourous side of being affluent but also the unpleasant, deceitful natures of those of the upper class. This, in turn, affected her behavior and led her to her arrogant, impatient, and sarcastic (only with friends) personality traits. Eventually, she became jaded with the parties of the highly ranked and the false attitude of the wealthy and found refuge within books and her only best friend at the time, Seraphina. Books saved Junli from despondency after Seraphina's death (though she knows she never quite got over it), and she has been dependent on it especially in her lowest days. Since then, she sticks to facts rather than hope and stays in her comfort zone rather than stray from it.

Trivia:

She has a pretty good sense of direction.
She used to be scared of Mickey Mouse.

*Additional Persona:

┆Junli doesn't particularly act arrogant because of her wealth; it's more because she sees things beyond what others see. Whereas others judge and conclude from the outside of a person, Junli observes underneath the underneath to who they really are and what they hide using her acute perception. It's because of this ability garnered from experience that she is so arrogant, for she thinks that others are foolish and blind to not see what she does. She knows herself better than anyone else, and because of this, she knows what she excels at and what she's limited in. However, from her experiences with the rich, her mentality naturally sees everything in a negative way, and this bloomed her pessimism. In order to hide this "insecurity" from others, she began using sarcasm to cloak it because once the rich spot a weakness, they attack it.

Once Junli has a goal set, she seeks to reach it, and once she's reached it, she searches for another one. In other words, when she wants something, she gets it. From experience in the business industry, her speaking is profoundly eloquent, and she can talk her way through anything, leading the conversation to where she wants it to go. Her impatience stems from her constant patience she forces on herself when she deal with the attitudes of the wealthy. This often tires her out and gets her irritable because she has to put up with their impertinent demeanors just to stay on their good side for the sake of her family's reputation.

Did you like the person behind the counter?

┆She found the cashier quite facinating. For someone who ran a seemingly normal establishment, the cashier was anything but. Based off her perceptiveness, its movements, behavior, appearance, everything about it was...strange. Its whole being mystified her and left her dumbfounded, perplexed, and highly interested.

♛ To you, I dedicate this story;

Love Interest: Kim Jongin (Kai)
First Impressions ;

Do you like him? No
Does he like you? No
*Suggested scenes on how you first met?

┆She starts to wander instead of staying in place, figuring that it was better to get to know her surroundings rather than just sitting around like an idiot. Without really registering anything, she wanders into an alley in which he and a dead body are lying at his feet. She is then under a state of panic and leaves quickly. Later on, they meet again under similar circumstances.

If answers are both no, who starts to like the other first? Leave it to you

Second Love Interest: Wu Yifan (Kris)
First Impressions ;

Do you like him? No
Does he like you? No

*Suggested scenes on how you first met?

┆Same as above

Comments?

┆I know I probably won't get in because of a another good app applying for the same book, but I just couldn't resist when I saw your story. I hope you don't have too much difficulty choosing the main characters, and I beg you, please, please, stick to this story! Oh, and I'm sorry if my suggestion for how my character and love interest first meet aren't up to par with what you may have expected.

Suggestions?

┆Maybe you could put more emphasis on the emotions of each character. Like Odin, for example. For his feelings regarding the fall of the armies in Jotunheim, instead of saying that he closed his eyes and folded his hands, you could say "Odin leaned back in his throne with the frustration crawling on his mouth, leading him to set his lips into a thin line and anger flaming over the muscles in his shoulder, tensing them even farther." Not sure if that made my point or not, but I hope it did...
