HEIGHT + WEIGHT. 168cm + 57kg
appearance. just like the ulzzang used. except has a sun-kissed tan that is slightly fading away the more time she spends in South Korea and not in Brazil anymore. She has a somewhat barely visible scar that is two inches long and a fourth of an inch wide on her right leg where she cut herself from a car's license plate when she was five years old because she was playing around with her friends. Gabriela has another scar on her right ankle the size of a nickle where she tipped over from riding a bike because she over a corner move when she was nine years old. When Gabriela isn't lazy or when doing outdoorsy stuff, she wears prescriptive colored contacts because she's jealous of other people having other colored eyes whereas Asians will always be dominated by the shade of brown genes. Even if she's a mixie, brown has always dominated regardless on both side of her family.

-- Gabriela also has her ears pierced. On Gabriela's right ear she has two earlobes piercings. On the left she has two earlobes along with a cartilage piercing. Thanks to doing sports since young, she's somewhat tone and has muscles, and muscles weighs more than fat, anyways, although most people do not know that fact. Gabriela has a bit of a curvy figure in some aspects like her and thighs, but it's only due to the years of being active in sports that shaped them quite well. Gabriela has gotten reconstructive surgery on her nose due to a soccer injury when she was twelve and burn scars were removed from her left hand, left arm, and left cheek due to an accident with burning cooking oil caused by her step-brother, Kangdo, when she was fifteen. Gabriela also wore braces for two years when she joined YG Entertainment. It was because she chipped her tooth whle trying to open a juice bottle with her teeth, and it broke her tooth instead. She had to get a crown for it, and eventually ended up with braces as well to fix it to align it perfectly and her overbite.

styles. Depending on Gabriela's moods, she dresses how she's feeling or what she's in the mood for. Overall though, Gabriela wears light and/or solid colors with simple patterns or designs, and the likes. Gabriela's style is either chic, pretty, casual, cute, simple, or girly despite her being an active girl in the sports area. When Gabriela's casual it's a cute or comfy tee and either jean pants or shorts even going out to hang at a cafe or just wandering the streets with sandals, flats or wedges. While in the dorms and practicing, Gabriela would rock the comfy and baggy clothing look where she can move freely and can just relax in without being uncomfortable. Sometimes it'll be jean shorts with a cute tee and wearing flats as well. Also to sleep, Gabriela prefers to be in a tank and booty shorts as they make her quite comfortable as her body heat makes her itchy if she's covered up along with the blanket wrapped around her like a cocoon. She will still dress this way even when it's winter time, but she'll wear socks around this time of year though. Gabriela always likes layering and plaid at times too. Gabriela isn't too picky, she just likes a lot of variety.

personality. Gabriela is the kind of girl that fits the 'don't judge a book by it's cover' aspect. While she may appear girly, flirty, and ditzy like, she's really not. She just likes the pretty and fashionable style is all. Gabriela has made due to compromise her tastes and doesn't wanna hide a lot of herself. Of course she has her own darker secrets, but no one really has to know about that. It's why she portrays herself as is so that people don't start wondering things and asking obvious questions.

-- Anywho, Gabriela is very competitive and the competitiveness comes from her father's side as her father is quite an athlete and hates losing. So Gabriela is quite sporty and she's pretty much game for anything as long as it is appropriate. This also makes her hands-on as she prefers doing things actively as it's a better stimulation for her. Although Gabriela can be easy-going and goes with the flow of her surroundings; she can be quite stubborn once she set her mind to do something or finishing it to the end. She hates being stuck and can't overcome the obstacle, but it varies between such things.

-- So this can make Gabriela quite annoying when she gets opinionated as she has a bad habit of voicing out her thoughts out loud even though she tries to bite her tongue at times. Sometimes Gabriela's words can come out harsh and mean, but it's not meant to be perceive like so. Gabriela really means well and isn't an insensitive person as she comes out to be most of the time. She has learn to control it over the years, but sometimes her mind won't let her and the words just flow on out.

-- Anyways, despite all that, Gabriela's weirdness wins over every other traits of hers. She'll have a conversation with herself and even role play different roles when having a one-woman conversation. Gabriela's not sure why she does this, but it's something that's a part of her and she can't really change that. Gabriela is also a team player and always watches out for those around her. To her, they become somewhat like family to her. Gabriela doesn't want to be treated with disrespect, and so she doesn't treat others like that. If you disrespect her in any way she doesn't retaliate back, but then don't expect to be in good terms with her if she suddenly isn't as friendly as before and is a bit more rough in some aspect.

-- All in all, Gabriela is a real kind of person, and depending on how you treat her, she's either a friend for life or a tolerant acquaintance in the moment. Gabriela bases herself on how the other acts and how comfortable she is and what kind of vibe she is feeling from them. She's usually a great judge of character, but her weird self sense of mind usually gets the best of her and it flies on by her.

background. Gabriela's mother, Bitna, met her father, Iago, when her mother was living in the states for her studies when Bitna was twenty-one years old and Iago was twenty-five years of age. They were both non-citizens of the country and met through mutual friends on several occasions as to help the foreigners mingle in the American lifestyle. Although they were somewhat both conversational and awkward in English, the attraction was there and it sparked instantly. Iago and Bitna found themselves falling in love with one another with each gathering and couldn't wait to see each other every time. Anyways, they soon began dating and eventually found themselves married thanks to the helping of their friends to get them to be wedded in America despite not being citizens two years later. Anyhow, another three years passed by and the couple had little Gabriela Haneul Sousa Chae and she was soon welcome into the world.

-- Gabriela was born in Los Angeles, but she only lived there for two years before her father was relocated back to Brazil due to his job. The Sousa family permanently moved to Sao Paulo and where Gabriela lived and was raised there for ten years. Somehow after fifteen years of marriage, her parents just fell out of love with one another and decided to get a divorce and Gabriela couldn't do anything about it. Gabriela wanted to stay in Sao Paulo and didn't want to move, but in the best interest for the child, her parents agree that she would ultimately live with her mother since her father's job took up most of his time and he would be too busy to care for her. Soon Gabriela found herself leaving the only home she knew and arriving at some unknown place that was unfamiliar to her at the age of twelve.

-- Once Gabriela found herself in her mother's homeland she knew that it would be quite difficult for her to adjust. Surely she was right since her mother then started to refer to her as 'Haneul, Haneul-ah, Chae Haneul' and she was never called 'Gabriela, Gaby, and Ela' from her mother since. Anyways, Gabriela disliked how her mother made it seemed like she was always born with a Korean name and that 'Gabriela Sousa' was never a part of it. She would tell her mom this, but her mother ignored it. The only time Gabriela won was when she would tell her mom that on her birth certificate it has her full name and not just her Korean name. Her mom would then drop the subject and not talk to her for a few hours. But to make things easier and to lessen complications and misunderstandings, Gabriela would use Haneul, so she didn't have to explain her whole background.

-- While Gabriela was still relentless and stubborn as a growing teenager, Gabriela never spoke to her mom in Korean but always in Portuguese to remind her mom that she hasn't forgotten where she was from despite being surrounded by the Korean language and culture. Of course later on, Gabriela learned that she wasn't going to get her old life back at all; especially now that she really had to learn and use Korean as at that time she was barely conversational. Because of her lack of the language, the culture itself, and still being angry with her mother. so Gabriela took interests elsewhere and lost herself in music since it was the only thing she truly enjoyed and could escape from reality as music was able to relate to her without much effort. As for sports, Gabriela somewhat lost interest because it reminded her too much of her father and the pain was still strong at that time. So she put off in playing sports and focused on music related activities. Her mother had also signed her up for extra Korean language classes so that she would be able to catch up in speaking and understanding it better. So there wasn't much time for sports now. Also Gabriela lost contact with her friends back home as they felt she betrayed them and so she was now a little more withdrawn to socialize which hurt who she was.

-- Anyways, about two years later of settling in and everything had already been finalize, her mother remarried. At fourteen years old, Gabriela thought it was too soon as two years seemed too short, but she was accepting of it, but it wasn't like she could control it. Either way, Gabriela knew that she just had to accept it. Just like how she had to accept the fact that her father barely contacted her back despite her efforts to keep in touch with him through many means of communications. Along with her mother re-marrying, she had to accept a new father figure as well as two step-siblings to which she became a big sister to. Yeah, Gabriela had to do a lot of accepting because she found herself moving again and going to a new school. An international school called Korea Kent Foreign School where they taught in English. It was where her new sister and brother attended and her mother thought it would be a lovely idea for Gabriela to attend too since it was a good opportunity to learn another language and be close with her new siblings.

-- So, when she step foot onto KKFS' campus ground, this is where she met her bestie, Saeron, who was just some random, weird girl to Gabriela. Saeron was like her number one cheerleader and cheered her on whenever she did a sport, even though they were on the same team and what not. Gabriela at first found it weird and awkward, but soon got used to it and began to like it. It brought back her fighting spirit to enjoy sports again and to give it her all to play well. Also, it brought back her human nature to socialize with other people besides her mom and eventually with her step-family. Thanks to KKFS, she was able to enjoy all the sports she loved and even knew ones as well and to make new friends. It may have also helped Gabriela to be herself again and a lot more happier in that she was also surrounded by foreigners like her who were also not native to South Korea despite having Korean blood in them. Gabriela was beginning to see the bright side of things a bit better since her parents' divorce and the new marriage with her mom and step-dad.

-- in her first year at the new school, Gabriela met Harang through Saeron, and she would have never thought the two would be the best of friends because of their differing personalities. Gabriela was informed by Saeron of Harang's amazing dancing abilities, and Saeron egged Harang to show Gabriela. Harang at first didn't want to, but after much pestering she finally ended up doing so. Gabriela soon watched with fascination at how fluid Harang was and how she just captures your attention with her dancing skills. This piqued Gabriela's interest, and she wanted to give it a try. Harang told her that dancing is more than a hobby, but there was a difference from dancing with passion than dancing to impress. Gabriela didn't understand until Harang took her under her wing when Gabriela had no rhythm to go off of and Harang just couldn't see her friend's friend failing. Eventually though, Harang and Gabriela were able to get along and the duo of friends now became a trio of besties. Gabriela luckily caught on faster thanks to her years of playing sports making her body more flexible and enduring the movements despite her clumsiness at first, although she wouldn't consider herself the best dancer. Gabriela was only good at choreographed dance routines. She at freestyle most of the time. But having the abilities to move when the music was on brought a new level of happiness to Gabriela as she began to fall in love with music even more than she ever thought.

-- Now, fast forward as to how she got accepted into YG Entertainment... it was all thanks to Harang. Gabriela became a good enough skilled dancer in a short amount of time which gave Gabriela the opportunity to show case her skills when Harang ended up injuring herself before a big dance competition that she was a part of. Harang had Gabriela filled in for her which threw Gabriela off and wondered how can she fill in for her friend when she wasn't an official member and what not. Harang just told Gabriella to wear a face mask and beanie and to not talk since Harang felt Gabriela would do a better job than the others because they were still slacking. Anywho, Harang trusted Gabriela, and Gabriela was nervous yet gamed to give it a go, and so she did. At that time, there was a YG representative that happened to be at this competition and scouted her to audition for the company. Gabriela was shock and surprise and she told Harang and Saeron about it, and the two encourage her to give it a go. Gabriela felt guilty for taking Harang's spot, but Harang dismissed the idea as it really didn't matter to her. Saeron told her that if she ever debuted, she would be her number one fan. Gabriela was accepted into YG Entertainment at the age of seventeen in 2011.

-- Gabriela's interaction with her step-family is a lot better now. she isn't angry with her mom anymore, but when they have like mini fights they would argue in Portuguese for some odd reason. Anyways, Gabriela has come to love them and accept them into her forever changing life. Gabriela can't see herself without them now, and they have always supported her in whatever, but of course there are always differences which is always normal in a family and what not. By now, she'll get some sort of response from her father, but it's always like a "late" birthday card, postcard, or a less than a minute voice mail, or even a lame e-mail with "hope you're doing well". Gabriela accepts this too, and knows that her father isn't an important factor in her life like how her mother and new family are right now.

-- now her scars. Gabriela was making breakfast when Kangdo distracted her. He then grabbed for the pan with oil in it and while stopping him, the contents in the pan flew in the air and to protect herself without thinking she threw up her arms to shield herself, but it eventually still burn though. Kangdo began to call her Neullie since he always called Yerin, Rinnie, and so thought it would make them closer and he wanted to apologize and what not because he was sorry and so thought 'neullie' would help out and the likes.

friends.
saeron hwang | 20 | pet store worker
-- met at kkfs. they are close with one another and it was mainly because of Saeron always tagging and following Gabriela around. at first Gabriea didn't like it, but the girl meant well and eventually she gave Saeron a chance and Gabriela's happy that she did. Saeron revived a part of her that she thought she lost since her parents divorce and the move. anyways, they treat each other well and Gabriela always know where to go if she's ever down and needs an energy boost. especially with the whole new life with training and what not.

harang noh | 21 | university student
-- met at kkfs. they got along a little better the first time they met compare to when Gabriela and Saeron met. Harang feels that Gabriela could do so much more, but needs a confidence boost and more encouragement. Harang is more the voice of reason for Gabriela and someone she can always depend on when needing professional advice or just a rational food for thought kind of deal. they treat each other well, and sometimes Gabriela still wonders how the two of them could be friends with Saeron and realize that it's because she's the crazy glue that makes them stick together.

youngdeuk kwon | 25 | member of hitech
-- met at ygent. he's an exclusive YGent dancer and they hooked up when she first joined the company, but broke up eight months later as they saw their relationship more as friends and not lovers after a while but thought it would change over time, but it didn't. also, a lot of people disapproved of their relationship because of the age barrier between them. anyways, Youngdeuk still watches out for her, but not as much because of his new girlfriend, Kim Minjung of CRAZY, and doesn't want any issues to arise and what not.

youngdon kwon | 25 | member of hitech
-- met at ygent. although Youngdon still wonders why Gabriela dated her brother and not him, when they practically look alike, it was because Youngdon is more out-going compare to Youngdeuk and Gabriela just didn't see him like that and is why she dated Youngdeuk. besides that, they are close and talk a lot and practice a lot as well. she also asks him questions regarding dancing, being a part of a dance group, and the likes when she can't talk to Youngdeuk as to give him space so that Minjung won't get jealous and the likes.

love interest. kim donghyuk, 18, ikon
backup love interest. seol jun, 21, alphabat
relationship status. crushing... awkwardly hard
relationship persona. cute version of tom and jerry

personality. Donghyuk is a chill kind of guy, but at first glance he's a quiet person that keeps to himself. That is until he gets comfortable with you and turns out to be a weird, fun, and not so innocent kid. Donghyuk's quite playful and enjoys a playful kind of skinship with others. Like sidling up to the person's side, doing playful punches, and does like a somewhat chest bump... that is awkward at times for someone that isn't into that... [like Gabriela. lol]. Anyways, Donghyuk means well, but he likes to have fun and just be out-going and cheering people up. He's a real cute kid sometimes. Well, in the eyes of Gabriela, he's a cute kid despite his protest of not wanting to be called a "kid" or "cute" and that he's a "man". Despite his playful nature, he is actually a pretty smart and observant person and takes things seriously at times. Usually if it's practicing, dancing, working towards his dreams, he's quite focus. It's just sometimes he wants to release stress by having fun and just get his mind to well give it a break per se.
about him.  when he was attending school, he was the student president and score high grades in his classes and placing in first amongst his peers. he plays the piano, drums, and guitar, as well as enjoys playing basketball. he won the jyp trainee search competition in march 2012. was once a member of the def music & dance academy and was later recruited into yg entertainment in november of 2012. former maknae of ikon (then team b).
how you met. they met at yg entertainment. she happened to come across him when she came to vist the kwon twins as the boys were practicing with the male trainees and what not. although she came in the same year as jinhwan bobby, and b.i, she wasn't particulary close with them, but they got along well. anyways, gabriela was giving the twins hugs, along with the other trainees she knew well, except junhoe, yunhyeong, and donghyuk and she gave them a wave. donghyuk seemed a bit miffed by this, but ignored it. she ignored him too not because she wanted to, just because she was only there to check up on the boys and see how they were doing since she was bored. anyways, this happened a few times and donghyuk wanted a hug from her because she gave yunhyeong a hug because he was just that lovable and his hugs always made her feel better in a friendship way, but she didn't really want to, but in the end gave it to him when the other boys that he wasn't going to bite and what not. from there on... their relationship began.
interactions. Despite Donghyuk being younger than Gabriela... by like three years, she just sees him as a fellow labelmate and nothing more. Or so she tells herself from time to time. Although she will admit that he's cute, but in a more like little bro and third person perspective. He is like two years older than her step-brother, c'mon now. Anyways, Gabriela feels like that sometimes Donghyuk may like her as more than a friend status or is just too observant with what he says to her. Also she believes that the way he treats her is different to how he treats the other female trainees. Like he always asks her for a hug even though she doesn't want it, but he'll chase after her to get one and she just relents. Maybe she's thinking too much since she's so used to the other guys treating her like one of the guys and donghyuk is making her feel like a girl in a way.

-- In Donghyuk's case, he likes to initiate skinship with Gabriela, and despite not being into that, Gabriela tolerates it, but is passive about it. Gabriela doesn't really think much about it or as what she wants to tell herself that is. She believes it's the that's bothering her like how she was with Youngdeuk and thinks of the judgement that became of it. In all honesty, Gabriela secretly enjoys this relationship that she has with Donghyuk and she's not quite sure why since when she was with Youngdeuk, she didn't mind the skinship she had with him and what not. But she believes that it's because he's fun, out-going, and talkative compare to her and he makes her feel butterflies than she ever did with Youngdeuk. Also he just automatically gets a reaction out of her every time he opens her mind and Gabriela will automatically have a comeback which she hardly ever talks and likes to keep to her own bubble most of the time. donghyuk just does a lot of things that make her open up whenever he is around not because she wants to, but because he just makes her do it herself without thinking.

-- Gabriela usually calls donghyuk "kid" and "bish" a lot, instead of using his name sometimes. It's not because she's doing it to , sometimes it just comes out because of how he is and when he's doing his little antics, too. She has never called this to Youngdeuk or Youngdon before either, and these two like to mess with her from time to time just as much as well. All in all, donghyuk and gabriella sort of start out as awkward turtles, but over time donghyuk is just all about annoying her in a bad and good way and gabriela just doesn't know what to do with him and so tries to avoid him in some aspects. other than that, their relationship starts to form slowly and then out of the blue it hits her that she really likes him, and donghyuk wonders if he really likes her likes her, or just likes teasing her because she's fun to mess with and he can only do that with her in a sense.

comments. her name, i based it upon the naming they do in Brazil. if you're not comfortable with that, i'll change it. also i hope it's okay that she dated one of the Kwon twins. if not, let me know as well. as for Donghyuk... you didn't mention anything about an with the love interest, so i hope it's okay that that is fine. let me know if there's anything wrong with it! um... hope it's alright, just let me know really. i feel like there might be some issue. maybe with her personality as it might be contradicting, but i dunno. good luck on the story and choosing the girls!! =]
suggestions. witchez Diary/witchezTV -- Weekly Idol and Random Dance Play and/or Rewrite (forgot what this section is called) goes totally horrible, lol -- a mishap during their debut stage -- donghyuk x Gabriela... people aren't comfortable with their ? -- the members and others trying to pronounce her Brazilian name -- Kwon Twins come to bother her and check up on her and they go out to drink for celebration
