A STORY WITH THIS PRETTY FACE

PERSONALITY TRAITS self-sufficient, genuine, strong-willed, spontaneous, benevolent, breezy
PERSONALITY
Seojin has always been quite the wallflower, being the only shy and quiet one out of her six loud, crazy, and boisterous sisters. While they preferred to spend their time together, gossiping over the latest affairs of the townspeople while they eloquently drank tea and painted their fingernails, Seojin preferred to go outdoors, roll up her sleeves, catch some unfortunate fish in the river, and then rip out their slimy guts in preparation for dinner, or something as equally as disturbing as that. In fact, Seojin enjoyed what everyone else considered "men's work". She liked chopping lumber and playing soccer, even though such activities ruined her clothing. It was a good thing that her parents were always so busy, and that her sisters were so princess-like and preferred to stay indoors, because if either side ever found out that she liked to roll around in the dirt outside, or help old Mrs. Park down the road catch chickens and then gut them with her bare hands, they'd probably think she was permanently germ-infested and then make her wear gloves around the house for the rest of her life.

Though she enjoyed getting her hands dirty, she wouldn't consider herself a tomboy per se. She still liked wearing pretty dresses and getting her hair done just like any other girl, but when it came to getting things done, Seojin was your girl to go to. For her, nothing was more satisfying than the sense of self-accomplishment she felt whenever she heard the crackling of wood just before it split into two pieces under the blade of her axe.

Seojin liked helping people, especially the elderly, and she liked proving that she could do things just as well as the next man. Combined with the fact that she didn't care much for formalities made her popular amongst the town's elderly, but not so much among the girls her age. -up, or -kisser was what they liked to call her, and yeah, it kind of hurt, but then again, Seojin had never been one for confrontations. So she let them say what they pleased, as long as they didn't start throwing eggs at her or something like that because even though she had a lot of confidence in herself, she didn't think she'd ever have enough courage to talk back to anyone, let alone a rich and sassy teenage girl who to Seojin, was scarier than any of the river's gigantic fish that she ever had to face.

Though Seojin has quite a shy and submissive exterior personality when it comes to interacting with other people, there's no telling what kind of stunts she'd pull when under pressure. In fact, Seojin doesn't do well at all under pressure. She crumbles like her chicken casserole dish five minutes after its been taken out of the oven (she still doesn't understand why everyone hates that dish, its her best one!). When stressed, her level-headedness disappears, and all that's left is frantic nervousness which causes her make stupid decisions and act on the first thing that comes to mind.

She also does not do well in social situations. When faced with strangers who are neither her sisters nor her elderly companions, she becomes a nervous wreck. She constantly wonders if she's saying the right things, or if she's bothering anyone, or if she may have made any rude remarks that she didn't mean. Obviously, Seojin hadn't gotten any of her parent's smooth social skills that all of her sisters seemed to have inherited. Though she would never admit it, attempting to make friends with people her age is her perpetual fear, because ugh, why did she have to be so awkward?

SHORT BACKGROUND 

Seojin was born into a wealthy family as the middle child of 7 daughters. Her mother was the head merchant of a popular clothing shop while her father sold authentic animal furs to foreigners. Both their businesses were ones they had started on their own. Due to their popular businesses, both would leave for work early in the morning and come back late at night. That left their eldest daughter who was 24, in charge of the rest of them. Of course, a house full of 7 girls left to their own devices has never been a good idea. In front of their parents, they were angels who could do no wrong, but in the span of 4 years since the very first day they'd all been left alone, it had somehow morphed into some kind of crazy internal hierarchy. The eldest of the bunch had absolute authority, often making the younger ones cook this or retrieve that. Seojin however, being the middle child, neither fell into the "slave" category, nor the "ruler" category. So she suffered from the middle child syndrome - aka, well, ignored.

So while her elder sisters were having the time of their lives playing queens at home, and while her younger sisters spent their time playing servant and trying to fight their way up the ranks, Seojin was often out on her own, exploring town and doing whatever she could to entertain herself. Seojin didn't have an interesting life per se, but she got along well with her sisters, and the townspeople often doted on her - especially the elderly. Life was pretty good, that is, until Seojin's 18th birthday.

LEAVING HOME 

It has always been tradition between the Lee family sisters that when each girl turned 18 years of age, they needed to go through an initiation to welcome them into adulthood. Seojin had always thought of it as highly unnecessary, but the rest of her sisters seemed to think otherwise. In fact, when her eldest sister turned 18, she had mysteriously disappeared. She returned a week later with a ruby necklace that Seojin immediately recognized as the most prized possession of the richest lady in town. Obviously, her eldest sister had stolen it. When Seojin's second eldest sister turned 18, she, too, disappeared. She returned a week and a half later with the most expensive velvet fedora on the market sold by the heaviest guarded shop in town. Sure, the Lee family was quite wealthy, but Seojin knew even they couldn't afford the price of that fedora. So obviously, her second eldest sister had stolen it. When Seojin's third eldest sister turned 18, she disappeared for a month. She returned married to the most eligible bachelor in all of Ingary!

When Seojin finally turned 18 herself, she sucuumbed to the pressure of the initiation. As much as she told herself that the whole idea was stupid, she knew she had to outdo all of her sisters who had turned 18 before her. So the day after her own 18th birthday, she left home at dawn with nothing but the clothes on her back. Her sights were set on the infamous moving castle where five handsome brothers were known to reside. Her plan? To infiltrate the castle and steal the most prized possessions of each of them. She estimated herself to be gone for about a day, and if things went wrong, maybe two. After all, things would go smoothly, and she'd be back to brag about it all in no time! Right?

Wrong. 

THE CASTLE 
Since day 1, Seojin's aim had been to infiltrate the castle. She knew the brothers stopped by Ingary once in a while to have fun in town, so her plan was to wait until the castle was empty before breaking in, taking as much as she possibly could, then bolting the hell out of there before she was caught by any of the five brothers. And that was exactly what had happened, except she hadn't exactly expected to open the front door on her way out and find a completely different place from the one she had come from!

THE FEELS WITH MAGIC USERS 
Seojin doesn't think people who use magic are anything special since she grew up in a community where magic was the norm. She grew up having elderly friends who didn't use magic. She also grew up having elderly friends who did use magic. Her own parents didn't use magic, but sometimes they had  guests over for dinner who did use magic. Seojin thinks of them as two different types of people but in the end, couldn't really care less about the differences. Friends are friends, with or without magic.

LIVING WITH GIRLS: 
Living with 4 other girls who are not her sisters makes Seojin nervous. As stated before, nothing scares her more than social interaction with teenage girls, since obviously, she didn't have the best memories of the ones from her own town. Nonetheless, Seojin's friendly side always wins, so if she happens to run into any of them in the hallway, she'll still smile nervously and say hi and hope they don't think she's weird.

LIVING WITH WIZARDS: 
Before she lived in a house full of wizards, she was never fully exposed to them. She had neighbours who used magic, sure, but at the end of the day, she would always go back home to a house full of normal girls who couldn't fly or cast spells to do this or that, and that was what she was used to. But after moving in with not one wizard, but five, she's still trying to get used to the changes. She still doesn't think wizards are above regular humans, but starts realizing how convenient magic really is when you can just fly somewhere, or make the food in the kitchen levitate to your room on days when you want to have breakfast in bed.
