APPEARANCE ♡
— Pretty from head to toe - Irene is what people may call "Natural Beauty". She was already born with something that would always call others attention. Even when she was just a baby people would approach her parents with a smile complimenting their work. Irene could easily be a top model, but she decided not to. It's not usual for a asian girl to stand tall at 177cm, since normally asian girls are quite short. Her facial features are mysterious with her plump lips, perfect small nose and mesmerizing eyes. You can't take her image off of your head once you lay your eyes on Irene. People wouldn't call her skinny often, she weights 54kg after all, but she is tall, so her weight doesn't really match her appearance, she is mostly flat in every part of her body, her legs are long and skinny, doesn't has a big booty and s aren't that big either, however, she is often called "y". Irene has four ear piercings. One on her left ear and three on the right. Has a birthmark a bit under her bellybutton area with the shape of a small flower. Her hair color is naturally dark brown, but she is very famous for her dark blonde hair.
STYLE ♡
— Yes sir, call me a fashionista - Irene was always that type of girl that would dress to impress, even if she was just going to stay indoors watching a movie, she would always try to look the best she could. She loves to pick different type of clothes and join them all together. If it's a mess? No, it looks really good on her! But I think the randomness of her choices are what make her unique, since she can choose a lot of weird piece of clothes but once she joins them all, she can create something pleasing to her eyes. She's a fan of high heels and loves to collect hats, every type of hat.
PERSONALITY ♡
(-) manipulative, short-tempered, snob, persuasive, blunt
If you get on Irene's bad side, she’s a . She doesn’t put up with bull and she’s very, very good at manipulating a conversation and outsmarting others just by talking to them. Let’s face it, Irene is not and never will be the person people go to when they want to party. It’s just not going to happen. She’s good with her family and with her close friends; she even cracks jokes and uses large amounts of sarcasm in their midst, but with people who she does not consider friends or even remotely friendly...well, she can be a little bit of a snob. She doesn’t mean to do it, but always gets on the way. She’s an average girl, if you think deep about it; boys make her nervous, girls make her cautious, but if you get on her good side, Irene will probably always stay there. By your side, that is.
Calm, collected, usually the voice of reason, you don’t find Irene lashing out at anyone often. Or ever. Unless, of course, that someone is messing with her family or her bestfriends. Her emotions often get the best of her when she’s really upset, but it’s thankfully rather rare that anyone upsets her. I mean, being made upset usually requires being spoken to, right? She can be selfish at times, not because she means to but because she genuinely forgets to think of other people’s feelings. She’s a nice girl, at the end of the day. She doesn’t harass anyone, only taking part in some minor teasing, typically between her friends and the worst thing she’s ever done is break a few boys’ hearts.
Irene loves doing anything new and is the queen of forcing anyone to try something whether it is going to a new place, trying new food, buying new clothes; she is always the first in line for it all. She’s also a very ‘take charge’ kind of girl and is basically the leader in the group. Irene is one of those girls that does everything she does perfectly, or she tries to. She’s always reminding herself that she can do whatever she sets her mind to, but more often than not, she falls short to her own expectations. It doesn’t help that she always feels like everyone expects so much of her; sure, she can act like a leader, but sometimes people need a break. When she’s overly stressed or really upset, Irene can get mean; snapping at people. But she always apologizes afterwards, but in the moment she can bit her tongue and calm down a little.
— The majority of Choi Irene's childhood was captured on her father’s video camera; first steps, first words, her first babbling attempt to sing along with the most popular english songs. It wasn’t a super perfect life in the big city of Seoul, but it was filled with the ever present love of her parents and older brother called Jason and later a baby brother called Richard. What the petite brunette lacked in physical presence, she made up for in determination and creativity, quickly developing an aptitude for finding ways around her short stature. Irene was happy to let her older brother take the spotlight as the sports oriented, outgoing child, and while she excelled in school and developed a love of music, she was always more subtle about her accomplishments. For most of her life, Irene had adamantly professed to a desire to become a teacher.
By the middle of her first high school year all thoughts of teaching had been squelched by the desire to pursue the art of modelling, with a specific interest in becoming a Korean model. Her mother started to take pictures of her, saying that her daughter would become a model, and later decided to send those pictures to countless agencies ! At the age of 15, Irene did her first runway show in Jakarta, modelling for GUESS and LEVIS.
