appearance » Grace's complexion is pale for someone that lived in Australia (even very pale for Asian), she got that from her grandmother that was a Chinese. She has hazel eyes that she got from her other grandmother that is an Australian; but she has Sectoral Heterochromia so that some part on her left eye had red-ish brown color (♣). She really love blue, therefor she dyed her hair with her favorite color (♣) so that she had more color in her since she had pale-almost-transparent skin. She had a tattoo on her right bicep, her birthday. And another one on the side of her left wrist (♣). As for piercings, she has four on her right lobe and three on her right lobe + tragus, also helix on both. She has dimples on both cheeks. She also has a scar on her right blade bone, her parents said it was because of something stupid her brother did.
style » Grace was someone that cares about her appearance. She knew she had long, pretty legs and she knew how to show them off. If the weather was warm you could see her often wearing shorts, skirts, paired with cropped tops, tees, blouse, or even dresses. but if the weather was cold, she'd often wear jeans or leggings, paired with knitted sweaters and coat. She didn't like to wear pale/pastel colors, because it'd make her looked paler. So she preferred something more colorful. And of course you'll see her in blue a lot.

WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS?
BACKGROUND - PAST » Grace was born and raised in a wealthy family. Her father was one of the most successful and moth influence person in the hotel business in Asia and was one of the richest person in Asia. While her mother was the CEO and founcer of Blacq, a famous fashion brand in, again, Asia. Born and raised in the central of Sydney with platinum spoon in her pouty lips. Since she was young, she had showed interest toward music. She would constantly sing and dance whenever there was music playing. Seeing this, her mother enrolled her to a music academy. Trained since young made her voice clear and powerful, and she could also play some instruments. She soon became the family's little Celine Dion. She performed on several events.
It was summer, 2009 when she came to Korea for summer holiday.Her brother, being a supportive brother he always been, told her that SM held an open audition and he already applied the application for her. She was so shocked. She haven't prepared anything and the audition was the day after. She was grateful yet a bit mad at her brother. But he didn't apologized, because he knew she'll be thankful of him for this. So, she couldn't do anything but to audition.Consider her luck (she really got the talent anyway), she was accepted right away. She had to stay in Seoul because of this, at her grandparent's house, while her family went back to Australia. She spent two years being a trainee in SM, but she soon realized that the company wasn't suit her style. Sure her voice matched ballad style, but she could also be a R&B singer. Therefor she decided to get transfered to JYP, as for YG was too hip-hop-ish for her.
BACKGROUND - PRESENT » Since she was still a trainee under SM, she never lived in the trainee dorm because her grandparents' house wasn't that far from the training center. That also happened when she spent another 3 years of training under JYP. But when she was chosen as one of the members of JYP's new group and that she had to live in the dorm with the other trainees, she felt a bit uncomfortable. She was used to have her own privacy, but now that she had to live with another three girls. She found it difficult to adjust, though she had known them for a while. Some of them trained longer than she did. And they were multi-cultural...
But she knew she had to adjust herself, real quick. Because she knew that they'll be living together for a long time. Being the mother-like she was, the first one to wake was her. She was used to shower at least twice a day (because Australia could be so freaking hot), and then she would apply some day skincare. After that, she'd prepare breakfast for the four of them. When waiting for the others to wake up, she would clean the house (wash the dishes mostly). She was the one that checked on her members, reminding them of thei
personality » (+) Loyal, sensitive & warm, dutiful, passionate; (-) Too selfless, a bit inflexible, moody, stubborn
Grace is one of the people with ESFJ personality (♣).
Loyal -- giving or showing firm and constant support or allegiance to a person or institution
Grace, being raised in such a close family, was tought to be loyal. Loyal to anything she believed it was true, it was right. She would support you and be there for you through hardship. That was a loyal person she was. She would always be there, bad or good times. She would never left someone just because they were too clingy or were too ignorant. They were still her friends and she would never leave them.
Sensitive -- quick to detect or respond to slight changes, signals, or influence
Sensitive much? That would could describe Grace. She was sensitive, yes, but not that much though. She could read the situation pretty quick and did what should be done before anyone realized. She could also read her members pretty good. She could tell whenever someone was feeling down, someone was upset, someone was feeling not good. And she would go to that person, ask them what's wrong, and tried to calm them. Warm, yes.
Dutiful -- conscientiously or obediently fulfilling one's duty (obedient)
Being raised in royal-like family made her to be an obedient daughter. She would do whatever her parents asked her to do; studying, attending events, doing this and that, you name it. Well, as long as it's harmless, she'd do whatever you ask. Even though it means to sacrifise her needs.
Passionate -- showing or caused by strong feelings or a strong belief
If you have a passion, I'm sure you'd become a passionate person because of that. She was one of those people that become passionate for their passions. Ever since she was little and her mother enrolled her to a music academy, she knew that her singing talent would change her life someday. She always come early to the academy, half an hour before her session started. She would practice outside her sessions, be it in her room, bathroom, everywhere and everytime. She became so passionate on her practice.
Selfless -- concerned more with the needs and wishes of others than with one's own
Being selfless is good, but being 'too' selfless wasn't a good idea. Put others before yourself, she always did that. She put other's need before hers. But she overdone it sometimes. She once starved herself when one trainee was so hungry and she was poor, her family was poor, so Grace gave her meal to the latter and ended starved herself that she almost fainted while practicing.
Inflexible -- unwilling to change or compromise; not be able to be bent (stiff)
This trait was both for her personality and her body. Remember when I said it was hard for her to adjust herself when she had to living in the dorm? Yes, it was because of her inflexible personality trait. She always had a hard time to adjust herself to new environtment. And I said that this was for her body also, right. She was a bit stiff and her long legs didn't help her too.
Moody -- (of a person) given to unpredictable changes of mood, especially sudden bouts of gloominess or sullenness
Is it wrong for a girl to be moody? I don't think so. She was one hell of a moody girl. Her mood could change in such a short time. She could change from one happy, bright girl into a gloomy, grey ghost in 0.00001 second. Yes, that fast. So I'm really sorry if she would start ignoring you in a blink of an eye when she was just fine and bubbly before.
Stubborn -- having or showing dogged determination not to change one's attitude or position on something, especially in spite of good arguments or reasons to do so
Stubborn, Grace is a stubborn girl. One she set her eyes on something, she would hold her ground. And it would be difficult to change it. Despite her obedient trait, she could be stubborn as well. Being passionate and stubborn was some so alike yet so opposite.

THE INTERVIEW
WHO, OUT OF THE GIRLS IN THE GROUP, DO YOU FEEL CLOSEST WITH, AND WHY? »
- the Ace. She's the triple threat in the group so we often sing together, and sometimes making silly rap together. `chuckles; She could dance too, though not as good as the Diamond. We sometime stayed longer in the practice room just to practive our dance moves. Sometime the Jack would also join us, dancing is his weakness, just like me. `nods;
WHO, OUT OF THE GUYS IN THE GROUP, DO YOU FEEL CLOSEST WITH , AND WHY? »
- the Heart. `blushes slightly and awkwardly laughs; He's a good guy, and a good leader too. He takes a good care of us, helping me with my dance moves and improves my rap skill.
WHO, OUT OF THE GIRLS IN THE GROUP, DO YOU FEEL LEAST CLOSEST WITH, AND WHY? »
- the Queen. She's from Thailand, right? I just feel, I don't know... It was a bit awkward between us. I'm close with the Ace because she's from Canada, we both are English speakers. And the Queen, I didn't mean to judge or something, but her Korean is really weak. And it's sometimes hard for me to understand what she mean.
WHO, OUT OF THE GUYS IN THE GROUP, DO YOU FEEL LEAST CLOSEST WITH, AND WHY? »
- the King. I know I have this Chinese blood in me, my grandmother from my father's side is a Chinese. But he seemed a bit arrogant? And intimidating. I don't like being intimidated by people. I know I shouldn't judge someone from their appearance, but his looks really intimidated me.
WHATS YOUR ROLE AT THE DORM? MOTHER, SLOB, JOKESTER, ETC.? »
- They call me Eunma, Eun-omma. I always have this mother-like personality trait in me. I was the first one that will go panic is one of us get sick. I always checked each one of them, asking them is they already eat, if they sleep enough... I know I made them feel irritated sometime, but I can do nothing about it.
WHAT SETS YOU APART FROM THE OTHER MEMBERS? »
- My dancing skill. `frowns; I was born with two left feet, can't help it. But I'll try my hardest to improve my dancing skill.
ANY LAST WORDS? SECRETS? SNEAK OUT? OBSESSIONS? »
- Last words? It's ending already? `pouts; But okay. Hello everyone! I'm Grace Kwak, the Club from Universal Rulers. Please support us, show us a lot of love! Just like our name, we're hoping that we'll be able to rule the universal. By our music, of course. Thank you so much! Universal Rulers, fighting! `fist pumps before bows;
