ᴘᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟɪᴛʏ: (minimum 2 paragraphs. include good & bad

A good judge of character & loyal - Since before discovering her powers, Ri Young has always been a very intuitive and observant girl. She doesn't like to surround herself with people but the people she keeps beside her, they would have her trust. She can tell a lot of a person just by the way they act in a social setting and from then, Ri Young would decide if she would want to hang out with the said person.  Because of how she chooses her friends and the people she surround herself with, she is fiercely loyal to her friends and would never betray them. Her powers, when discovered, only aid in helping Ri Young judge the good from bad as reading into thoughts is far more efficient a way to judge a person's character. She rarely talk much with people she isn't familiar with, caming across as cold to many but with her friends, she is a chatterbox. 

Low self-esteem & pessimistic -  She tend to downplay her achievements, like when she got accepted into Seoul University, she attributed it to luck instead of her intelligience. This could be caused by the fact that everything was handed to her on a silver platter since she was born into a rich family. When people found out of her rich background, most would make nasty remarks about how she probably isn't capable of anything and everything is gifted to her by the family. It got into her somehow and caused her to depreciate herself worth.  She is realistic but because of her self-esteem issues, it always ends up being pessimistic. Ri Young is always predicts the worst case scenario in any situation. Her most mentioned lines are " What is the worst that could happen? Death. " and " We are all born to die, so what is the big deal."

Intelligent yet sacarstic - The fact that she managed to enter Seoul university, one of the top university in the country says a fair bit about her intelligience but she is actually a slow-learner. She has a higher EQ than IQ . She can become overprotective of people and when that happens, that is when she strikes out with her sacarstic tongue. She can be very hurtful when she is enraged but she tries to restrain herself. 

Short-tempered & authoritative - When you cross the line with her, she can be really ruthless with you.Ri Young tries to be as nice of a person as she can but she has a horrible habit of accumulating her anger against people and once she unleashes that pent-up frustration, eveything goes from downhill from there. She has a history of cutting people away from her life, those that she deemed unsuitable for her. Things that tip her off the scale would be people who try to hard to pry their way into her way, she is a richman's daughter ultimately. Also, she hates know-it-alls.  When she is unhappy with the way a situation is going, she would often try to take control of the situation and re-establish herself as the leader. She can sometimes be bossy when leading and very stubborn.

Insecure romantic - She always dreamt of being swept of her feet by her Prince Charming ,however, she feels that her power is infringing the privacy of her partner and that causes her fret. She also fears that she cannot completely trust her lover because everyone thought of his is completely open to her. Thus, she feels that if she cannot attain the ultimate happiness which is love, she will start with appreciating the smaller happinesses in life, whether if Prince Charming is ever coming along.  

ʙᴀᴄᴋɢʀᴏᴜɴᴅ: Ri Young lead a pretty good life, born with a golden spoon, money is the least of her concerns when her father is a property tycoon. She could tell her parents never loved each other much because she rarely saw them together. The family has a tradition of eating dinner together every night and that is the only time she ever saw her parents together. While her father is out signing contract deals, her mother would be out organising charity events and balls to help build the reputation of the family. When she was 16, she found that her parents had a political marriage. That made Ri Young really upset because her elder sister, is going to have a political marriage with the successor of her father's business too. ( The organisation isn't patriarchal so the sisters won't be sucessing it, instead a successor is chosen and the elder sister is going to marry the successor.)  Ri Young spent a pretty lonesome childhood as her elder sister is constantly away to learn the ropes of the organisation, the wife of the future successor must at least know about the basics of the organisation after all.

Ri Young would entertain herself with books and would play games with herself. She rarely invited friends over because she barely made any friends from kindergarten till junior high. Her playmates would be the servants in the house and the gardener. When she was old enough to step into kitchen, she let the cook taught her to cook and she also worked with the gardener to look after the family backyard.  When she was 18, she made her first ever request to her father. She wanted a small flower shop in the city. Her father, being a property tycoon, easily found her a place downtown. Because of her background, people always had a misconception that Ri Young have achieved everything with her father's reputation and wealth. This made Ri Young strive to be independent. After graduating high school, she earned herself a scholarship to Seoul University. That was the first step, her second step was to try make a living by herself. The flower shop that her father got for her would be the key to giving her financial independence and with the inheritance she got from her late grandparents, she would have enough to get by herself without her parent's help.

ʟᴏᴠᴇ ɪɴᴛᴇʀᴇsᴛ: Lee Taek Young 

ᴘᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟɪᴛʏ: Aloof and carefree, Taek Young lives his life as he like it to be. He is social butterfly and a player because of his modelling job. He is friendly but is horrible at expressing his true feelings. His job caused him to wear this mask of fake smiles and nice attitudes and prevents him from showing to others that he is tired. He is a very prideful boy and works hard for everything he has achieved, including his fame and wealth. He would never reosrt to underhand methods and is a very determinded person. Once he sets his eye on something/someone, he would never give up till he gets what he once. He is very possesive of his belongings too, including his women.

ɪɴᴛᴇʀᴀᴄᴛɪᴏɴs: Taek Young was ending his press event with a few other fellow male models when Ri Young delivered a bouquet of flowers to him. Taek Young felt that Ri Young was different because when she got close to him, he felt his shield being breached, he feel his psychic sheild crackling. It is as if someone is trying to read his mind. Shocked that he has found someone with a mind reading ability, he took her into a corner, shocking Ri Young.

" You have powers right?" He tried to coax an answer out of the girl. " You know, something like mind reading. Aren't you curious as to why you can't read my mind?"

" Yea, why can't I? What are you?" Ri Young replied, her voice trembling slightly.  

 Oh my god, I can't believe this. I actually found a mind reader. Let me let you in on a secret, I have the psychic shield ability, so all your mental abilities won't work on me." Taek Young grinned, for once glad that his abilities is of actual use instead of just blocking out all the negativity he has been receiving. 

Taek Young would often invite Ri Young because he finally found someone that understands how he feels with the powers and all that.  They usually would chat about Taek Young's career and Ri Young would listen, offering pieces of advise here and there. The share a Ri Young never told Taek Young about the members of the team with abilities. She sometimes fear that Taek Young might be working for The Phantom. 

   

〈 do you know me? - 〉

ᴅᴏᴇs ᴀɴʏᴏɴᴇ ᴇʟsᴇ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ᴏғ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴘᴏᴡᴇʀs?

↦ Well, I am pretty sure nobody knows about my powers, even if they do, I would know. I am the mind reader after all.  

ʜᴏᴡ ᴅɪᴅ ʜᴀɴɢɪʟ ᴀɴᴅ ᴊᴀᴇʏᴏᴜɴɢ ғɪɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜ?

↦ Truth be told, instead of phrasing it as how I was found, it was I who found them. It was just a normal day at the floristry, I was tending to the flowers and all that usual stuff. The shop was exceptionally quiet, just like how I like it to be. It was mid-day on a Tuesday so I wasn't expecting much customer flow at all. I was t the roses, white roses to be specific, it was meant for a funeral scheduled a week from then, when I heard certain disturbances. You see, the way my powers work is that whenever a person is moving closer to me, their thoughts gets louder, from a faint buzz to a talking voice in my head.  I heard two faint buzzes heading towards the floristry and afterwards the bell on the door rang expectedly.It was then Hangil and Jaeyoung walked in. They roamed throughout the shop and I  left them be lest I get too close to them and accidentally hear their thoughts. I find it rude but it is not like I have choice.  However, as they moved closer to me, the thoughts start to gain volume and I start to hear their thoughts. I can't help it, I have no control over it. From their thoughts, I found out that they are looking for a certain mindreader. That caught me by surprise because it is not everyday where people just walk into a flower shop to look for a mindreader. I heard in Jae's thoughts that the psychic said something about the mindreader being seen with a lot of white roses as derived from the white rose in the tarot card of death. I took that information as my cue and spoke. 

" Poor girl, isn't she. Barely sixteen. A fatal hit-and-run and she is just gone. Her parents asked for all her flowers at the funeral to be white roses." I managed to bring their attention to me and the funeral wreath I was handling. I noticed Hangil's eyes widen immediately, she started swearing mentally. 

, white roses and death. Does that explain why the death card is always drawn when we asked the psychic about the mindreader, she is actually dead? I can't believe it. 

Jaeyoung's thought process is more logical. 

 The psychic can see the face of the mindreader we are looking, that means that the mindreader is still alive. It shouldn't be the deceased girl the florist mentioned because the dead has no future. 

Seconds later, both Jaeyoung and Hangil looked at me. Their thoughts rang in unison. 

The florist is the mind reader! 

"Yes, I am the mind reader. How are you doing, Jaeyoung and Hangil?  " I smiled. 

 

ᴀғᴛᴇʀ ʜᴇᴀʀɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʟɪғᴇ ᴡᴀs ɪɴ ᴅᴀɴɢᴇʀ, ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴡᴀs ʏᴏᴜʀ ɪɴɪᴛɪᴀʟ ʀᴇᴀᴄᴛɪᴏɴ?

↦  /laughs/ What is the worst that can happen to me? Death, that's right, and I am not afraid of it. 

ᴡʜᴇɴ ᴀɴᴅ ʜᴏᴡ ᴅɪᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ғɪʀsᴛ ғɪɴᴅ ᴏᴜᴛ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴘᴏᴡᴇʀs?

↦ I frequent the library a lot when I was younger, I loved the serenity the place gave me. That is, until my powers came along. I was thirteen and sitting down in the queit reading room, enjoying my book when I started hearing people talking about the plots of different books. I looked, puzzled, talking is strictly prohibited in the reading  but the librarian didn't seem to hear the talking that is going in my head. I look around me and saw the kids sitting around me are all engrossed in their books, none of their lips is moving. Nobody is talking. I started panicking, thinking that I was making up voices or worse still, that I have schizophrenia. I went into the library restroom, which was empty and the voices stopped. I managed to calm myself down while I was in there and was about to leave when a lady walked in and entered a cubicle. The  voices returned but this time, there was only one voice, and it sounded like a woman. The content was something about indigestion and all those toilet matters. I hit me then and there, I was hearing into other's thoughts. 

ɪғ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴇʀᴇ ɪɴ ᴄᴏɴᴛᴀᴄᴛ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘʜᴀɴᴛᴏᴍ ᴀɴᴅ ɴᴏ ᴏɴᴇ ᴡᴀs ᴀʀᴏᴜɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜ, ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ᴅᴏ?

↦  Given my powers, I would be able to tell what moves the phantom has installed for me, so hopefully I would be able to evade it. I would try to escape and make a run for it with whatever information I could gather and return the team. I am pretty useless in the team if you think about it, so the most I can do is not to drag them down. Again, worst case scenarion, I die. Most probably, tortured to death, but hey, I am not scared. I just don't want to be useless to the team. That's all. 

ɪғ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴏᴜʟᴅ ᴛʀᴀᴅᴇ ᴘᴏᴡᴇʀs ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴀɴʏᴏɴᴇ, ᴡʜɪᴄʜ ᴏɴᴇ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ ɪᴛ ʙᴇ?

↦ I wouldn't mind trading with the psychokinetic. Since both of our powers have to do with the mind, it would be nice to be able to have a power that is offensive.

〈 goodbye my friends - 〉
ᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇɴᴛs: Well, hello there, I wrote Ri Young's boyfriend in mind to actually be one of The Phantom's underling.You can feel free to make him join the group with Ri Young, be Phantom's underling or kill him off and make Ri Young a single girl as you wish. The fate of that boy is in your hands. So, this is Ri Young, I hope you like her and feel free to ask me to change anything if any.
