Personality:
I find that on the whole, I'm relatively confident in the things that I do. Whenever a daunting task comes my way, I always face it with a headstrong attitude. I rarely ever let things get me down, mainly because I can't see the point in it. If you can understand you have something to overcome, letting yourself get down about it will stop you from doing that, won't it? I don't like to be behind on things. That's the only thing I ever seem to get stressed out over, like if I'm behind in work for Uni, though it rarely happens. I can be quite carefree when it comes to university work, because generally, I know I'll be good for it.
I'll say one thing, I can be rather stubborn. I nearly always win in an argument, because I know how to argue a point. I don't generally like to argue with people though, it's not really pleasant, though I have found myself doing so a lot in the past. But I digress. My stubbornness is not something admirable, not at all, but I can't really do anything about it. I've tried but it's not that easy, you know?
In addition to my stubbornness, I have the mentality of a five-year-old. In essence, I'm a very childish human being, and I'm not ashamed of it in anyway. As I say, life is much more fun when you don't take things seriously all the time, so hence I have my childish side. It usually just consists of me acting like a weirdo, which my girl Kazumi can relate to me on. We are like one and the same when it comes to this. She's usually the one to carry out childish antics with me, like throwing things as passing people and then hiding. It's so much fun. Anything childish you can think of, we'll have done it, including giving each other horrific makeovers.
As much as it sounds like I'm tooting my own horn, I'm a very trustworthy person. Give me any kind of secret and it will never leave my lips. I'm better at keeping things hidden than the Chamber of Secrets. I'm also quite protective of the people I care about. I think my confidence helps with that, since I'm never one to back away when I see someone mistreating my family or friends. It's not something I could stand by and idly watch. I think I'm very understanding of people, but I'm a bit childish, so I like to play around and not always take things seriously. Life seems a lot more fun without the reins of seriousness yanking you back all the time.
I'm someone you can depend on, that much I know for sure. I've always been told that I'm someone good to have around during problematic situations and I'm good for listening to others. Whilst I won't always understand, I'll always try to give the best advice I can, but again, sometimes I let go of seriousness. If that happens, people just need to ignore me and it run its course. My parents have always said I'm like a kid at heart, and that's it makes me a good sister to my little one. I'm quite happy to have that about me though. It's fun being childish now and then, it's less of a strain on reality.
I also never lie to people. I won't hesitate to voice my opinion because I don't care if people want it or not, since most of the time, it's necessary and will improve a situation if I say something. Not because it's me, but because I said something. I'm no hero, I just hate seeing unfair treatment on university grounds, a place I consider to be a wholesome environment.
Do not, I repeat NOT, ever criticize the way I look. I may be confident but when it comes to my appearance, the smallest remark will give me a complex. I couldn't exaggerate that. My parents always told me I'm beautiful but that's what they have to say, isn't it? There are a few things that always make me think otherwise, so I'm quite sensitive in that aspect. Another of my bad parts is that I have a bit of OCD over unkempt rooms. I'm forever cleaning, because I can't stand filth. I won't reprimand anyone for making messes, but I will immediately clean up after them. In that manner, I can be particularly annoying, but I don't care. Untidiness is bad for health! And that's another point that drives people crazy! I'm very health conscious. I'm a vegetarian for a start and I rarely eat any unhealthy things. If you see me around at lunch at University, I'll most likely have some kind of homemade salad or pasta dish. I always annoy my little sister with this, because when I take her out for food, she whines when I complain about her choices in food. Hey, I'm just trying to be helpful! As a big sister, it's my duty!
Finally, I will say I have the heart and soul of a literary author. Fair enough that's probably a bit exaggerated, (see, told you I can be childish) but I truly feel like there is a writer somewhere within me. I'm a bookworm, hence why I work at the library. It's like my favourite place. I'm one to enjoy sitting alone and just diving into a good book. I would rather read for the rest of my life than get wasted on a night out. But as they say, it's each to their own I suppose!

I love the escapism found in the pages of a good book. My favourite genres are crime drama and fantasy. Weird right?
- Pokemon;
This has always been a huge part of my childhood, so I still love it now! My favourite Pokemon is probably Charmander.

I love the piano. I can play small pieces, but nothing major yet. I adore Yiruma and everything he does.

- Cooking;
Such a huge fan of cooking! I always used to watch my mother cook and I learned everything from her, hence why most of my meals are homecooked.

My hair goes curly when I've been caught in the rain. I don't find it all that romantic either.

I've dealt with enough of that. I can't stand people who aren't honest with me.

I honest to God go into near panic mode if I walk into a room and it's dirty. Keep your rooms clean around me!

I can't stand it. It stops me sleeping properly, and I seriously enjoy my sleep. It's not something I like to lose out on.

Background:
Honestly, I think I'm a pretty average human being. I was born to a family somewhere between high and middle class. My dad had his own business that was pretty successful, which he still has, so we had plenty of money to keep us going. My parents were so loving and caring. I had practically everything as a little baby girl, but when I started growing up, things were slowly changed and of course, I stopped getting things, for two reasons. One, they were teaching me that you can't have everything in life, and two, my sister Jooyeon had eventually been born. She was always the best little sister. After her birth, we moved house for the first time.
We moved out of the house in Gyeonggi-do to another on the complete opposite side. God knows why. We were happy there for a few years, Jooyeon had some birthdays as well as myself, and I met my first boyfriend. His name was Gwak Junghwa, and it brings back bad memories already. Needless to say his obsession over keeping me from everyone else kind of messed me up. Surprise, we moved again! Because of me. I felt bad, Jooyeon had made friends at her little play group...
We moved into the next house and things were fine. I had no friends, but I had no jerk boyfriend either, so I recovered slowly but surely. My father's business wasn't as popular anymore, but it was doing okay. We were very happy, nothing seemed to go wrong there. The next time we moved, I was sixteen and Jooyeon was eleven. I probably should mention I did go to school during this time, I even had private tutors, so I didn't tut out stupid after moving so frequently away from schools I was used to. It didn't bother me though. I was happy enough, and I knew they had good intentions for the family, so I always kept a positive mental attitude going.
Between the years when I was 16 and 19, I don't really remember much other than we moved at least several more times. After my nineteenth, our final move had brought us to Yongsan. At this point, I had another boyfriend, Lee Saejoon. I had moved on and opened up to a whole new person, but he wasn't my Prince Charming either. Just another fox in sheep clothing. He used me and treated me like I was just some kind of trophy to show off to his friends. Disrespectful, and hurtful, he was gone in a week, but I kept seeing him around. I wanted to leave. I asked my mother about it, and she and my father agreed for me to go to University in a place of my choice, so I chose Seodaemun. Not too far away, but far enough to avoid him. It was a perfect choice. Within a few weeks, my father was driving my there and helped me set up my apartment. I asked him for nothing fancy, I wanted an ordinary lifestyle, which he complied with, even if he laughed at me. A week later, I had a place at the local University and a decent wage job as the local librarian, which was the place where I met my best friends, Kazumi and Kazuo. The two best people to ever enter into my life.
And now, I spend my days studying, reading and hanging out with the twins. It's a pretty good life.
