PERSONALITY — The first thing you’ll notice about her is that she is one awkward person.  She doesn’t  know how to respond to people who give her compliments, and she doesn’t  know how to give compliments herself. She will most likely go along the lines of “You have nice earlobes.” She doesn’t  know why she’s so awkward, she just is. She often say things that will cause the conversation to suddenly drop and a heavy awkward atmosphere will take its place. She laughs at things that aren’t supposed to be funny.  She says the wrong things at the wrong time, She doesn’t sugar coat so that probably makes things worse, and she’s just overall a really awkward person when she first meets someone. Don’t get her wrong, she loves talking to others, she just… she has problems with it. If it’s not for a job, she doesn’t know what to talk about. Once you get to know her, the awkwardness will slowly fade and you will learn she is really… different.

She is not a pessimist, she is not an optimist, she is a realist. She never looks on the bright side of things because often, that will give you false hope and it will be crushed when things don’t go your way. She doesn’t like looking at the negative things because who wants to live like that? She forces herself to look at things from a logical perspective, no matter how scary reality can be. Because of this, she may come off as negative, but she is just stating the truth. The perk to being a realist is that she’s level headed. She knows what is wrong and what is right. She knows how to plan ahead and what to do in tough situations. She knows what things will be successful and what will crash and burn. She has leadership qualities, but her awkwardness and inability to rely on others often gets in the way.

She will not, for the life of her, let anyone take care of her. She hates being taken care of. She does not want your help, she does not need your help. She is independent and she will stay that way. It’s a terrible trait, yes, but it’s the way she is. She can have a broken bone, a fatal injury, but even then she will refuse your help and continue on without rest. She hides her injuries. She will not tell you about it, she will not complain, and if you happen to find out(which you most likely wont since she has a wicked poker face and pain tolerance), she will not let you help her. If she has a fever and she’s sick beyond words, she will continue with whatever she needs to do and she’ll grit her teeth through it. If she can still stand and function, she will not rest. She doesn’t like showing weakness and will go to extreme lengths to hide it. Sora will hold her ground of stubbornness and she will keep going until she passes out and only then will you realize she was hurt. In this way, she is a hypocrite. She won’t let anyone take care of her and will hide her injuries, but if any one of herloved ones are hurt in even the slightest, she will not let you leave your bed until you’re back to health. She will nurture you even if you don’t want it. She’ll worry and fret and she wont stop until you’re healed.

Once you get passed the awkwardness and befriend her, she’s weird. She’s not afraid to embarrass herself in public and she will embarrass you along with her. She always has a smile on her face, even if she’s dying on the inside, and that’s just the way it is. She’s the one who makes serious situations seem harmless. If she was stuck in a scary movie, she’d be that one person who is joking even in life or death situations. She doesn’t really have the same thought process as everyone else, she doesn’t think the same as everyone else and she often does things that are just plain weird. She eats noodles without the soup, she apologizes to inanimate objects when she bumps into them, she forgets where my phone is when she’s talking on it, she say the most random things at the worst times and the list can go on forever. She is always cracking jokes and even in the most serious of situations, her dry humor will shine through. If she’s unhappy, she will still slip in a few jokes in there and laugh even though it hurts. 

Sora was born and raised in Oregon. She's the daughter of a vocalist trainer and a school teacher so she knows how to spit raps and keep her calm demanour. She has a younger brother, Chi Jun, whom she adores whole heartedly and their life was wonderful. Her elementary life was great and she made plenty of friends including Teen Tops L.Joe. However, at the age of 11, Sora's parents went through an ugly divorce. Sora moved to Korea with her father while Chi Jun stayed with their mom. Her dad got remarried to someone who already had triplets, and he was constantly doting over them, unconsciously forgetting about his real children. Sora continued on with her life, not caring much that she was fading into the background and continued on with rapping and school.

When she was 13, her biological mother dissapeared. Sora joined every sport and club there was to get away from her home and forget about the sadness. After practices, she would go to hip hop clubs and watch the underground rappers. The only thing that slapped her back into reality and got her back on her feet was Chi Jun. He moved in with them after the dissapearence and after a few months of Sora contantly leaving, he got fed up and forced to her to return home. She apologized fervently for causing him to hurt and she vowed never to cry or hurt him again. At 16, she found out that her long lost best friend L.Joe debuted into a band called Teen Top and that's when she decided to fix her life up. Even though she had major experience in rapping thanks to her father, she was still hesitant on going to auditions. However, seeing her former best friend (and crush) making it big in life made her even more determined to make herself known and finally decided on auditioning for SM.
