◜ ♕ NAME ◞ — lee nam soon

◜ ♕ NICKNAME(s) ◞

tsunami - from "soon", "nam" and "unnie". her two little sisters think that the image of a huge wave crashing on the shore is way cooler than their boring older sister.

◜ ♕ BIRTHDAY & AGE ◞ — 13/10/92 (17 in 2009)

◜ ♕ ETHNICITY ◞ — korean

◜ ♕ LANGUAGES ◞ — 

 — korean - well she was born and raised in korea so that helps. she speaks in busan dialect.
— english - she doesn't speak it, but her pronunciation when singing along to american songs is completely on point. she also doesn't know what she's saying, but you can't have 'em all

◜ ♕ FACE CLAIM ◞ sori 

◜ ♕ BACK UP FACE CLAIM ◞ komatsu nana
+ TOUCH MY BODY
 
◜ ♕ APPEARANCE ◞ — she's 154 cm and 44 kg. honestly, namsoon isn't the prettiest girl - she's short and scrawny, but there's nothing about her that's going to make her win any ms. korea pageants any time soon. her ears are pierced - just the lobes, though. no tattoos. she's fairly scrawny and not very tall. namsoon keeps her hair black and straight and with bangs covering her forehead. she's prone to breakouts, especially on her forehead, and the bangs help hide them. she wears her hair down or in a low ponytail, there is no in between. namsoon also gets sunburn easily, and is extremely pale from drowning herself in sunscreen all the time. namsoon isn't exactly insecure about anything, but it's mostly because she's aware that she's not amazing to look at. 

◜ ♕ STYLE ◞ — namsoon wears band shirts all the time. she actually doesn't own any shirts that aren't band t-shirts - they're expensive as hell to order and she could be spending her money on about a thousand different things, but no. her collection of band t-shirts is unrivaled. [1 2 3 4 5] other than that, she usually wears black converse sneakers (she has a pair of lowtops and a pair of hightops) and jeans (always straight-legged, usually blue but sometimes black, occasionally torn). if it gets cold, she'll just wear a cheap windbreaker [1] and be done with it. her wearing an actual bikini would be something of a joke, so if she goes swimming, it's in a t-shirt and trunks.

◜ ♕ EXTRAS ◞ — she bites her nails and they're short and hideous, but as a bassist, she doesn't mind that they're short
+ I'M SO FANCY
 

◜ ♕ PERSONALITY ◞ — 
positive:

loyal (she's not used to having friends, so if she makes them, she'll do anything for them)
calm (she doesn't burst out into happiness or anything, but it takes a lot to get her angry; if everyone's freaking out, she's trying to calm the situation down)
logical (you can count on namsoon to be the voice of reason in most situations)
uncomplaining (namsoon's really just fine with doing whatever, no matter how hard it is)
responsible (moreover, if she makes a promise, she'll keep it; she knows her responsibilities and sticks to them)
good with kids (she has two little sisters, both of whom are 12 years younger than she is, so it comes naturally to her)
decisive (namsoon isn't the type to dither over descisions or worry about potential outcomes, she just does things)

negative:
— 
low self esteem (she's eeyore, essentially)
emotionally unattached (for fear of being hurt, she doesn't open up to people; she also doesn't show her feelings on her face)
— 
socially awkward (there's a reason she's not a cashier - she just doesn't know how to talk to people, or proper ettiquite, or anything like that. she prefers her headphones and very loud music to people. she does like children, though)
— 
gullible (namsoon will believe anything you tell her)
— 
gloomy (she spends a lot of time wallowing in her own self-pity)
— charmless (there are girls with charisma, and there is also lee namsoon)
— naive (her self-imposed loneliness has made her completely unaware of what to do in social situations, and she has no experience doing much of anything)
— submissive (namsoon lets people walk all over her) 

◜ ♕ TRIVIAS ◞ — 
— all about that bass - she's been playing the bass guitar since a little bit before her younger sisters were born, and loves it more than anything else
what? i can't hear you
 - namsoon doesn't have a favorite genre of music, she just likes things that are loud. her favorite album is weezer's blue album and her favorite song is my name is jonas
— i dreamed a dream
 - she adores les miserables and will defend it with her life
— to kill a mockingbird - her ideal type is actually gregory peck and loves the movie version of to kill a mockingbird
— the autumn staple - namsoon's favorite food is roasted sweet potatoes
i-i-i mean - namsoon hates talking to adults - she gets a stutter and has a tendency to end her sentences as a question. 
— alright, let's go! - when she's talking to kids, on the other hand, she's a lot less inhibited
— gender blender name - her name is actually uni, which is a fact she enjoys supremely
antisocial media - the closest thing she's ever got to signing up for any social media is watching the social network 3000 times because she likes jesse eisenberg

— 2003 - namsoon starts playing bass at the age of 11
— 2003 - namsoon starts middle school and starts being bullied almost immediately. this continues on until she's out of high school, despite the fact that she moved schools. (this is mostly because of namsoon's physical appearance, though once her parents divorced, that added more fuel to the fire.) 
— 2004 - namsoon's younger sisters, eunbi and eunbyul, are born in april.
— 
2005 - namsoon, jinyoung, eunbi and eunbyul move to jeju island after jinyoung and hanbyul divorce. most of the money stops coming in.

— 2014 - namsoon graduates from university.
— 2015 - namsoon gets her first real job, as an elementary school music teacher.

◜ ♕ WORK ETHICS ◞ 
she's not going to get noticed for her personality or looks - namsoon knows that - so she works hard to make up for that. she tries her best, always, because if she doesn't, she's completely useless. 

+ BOOM BOOM BOOM CLAP
 
◜ ♕ FAMILY ◞
MOTHER : bae hanbyul : 47/ : honest; idealistic; easygoing; fun : to this day, namsoon doesn't know why her parents divorced, and she's not planning on asking. her mother lives back in busan, and hence, they don't interact at all. 

PAPA : lee jinyoung : 51 : good-hearted; easily distracted; irresponsible; quiet : namsoon loves her dad, and in a way, they need each other. being a single father with two one-year-olds is not easy, nor is being a 13-year-old who's bullied constantly. they rely on each other very much.
YOUNGER SISTER : lee eunbyul : 10 : clever; ambitious; sly; snarky : she's still so young but she's trying to work her way from the bottom to the top as an actress. she's the younger twin, but ten times more realistic than eunbi. namsoon's afraid she's growing up too fast.
LIL' SIS : lee eunbi : 10 : cheery; energetic; easily discouraged; a crybaby : the older twin, who has the energy to somehow smile all the time. she's an energy pill for namsoon, who needs it.


◜ ♕ FRIENDS ◞ — she actually doesn't have any friends aside from the other girls.


◜ ♕ OTHERS ◞ —  BASS GUITAR : leanne : 12 : reliable; friendly; a good listener; kind  : she might not have many friends, but namsoon's bass won't abandon her like a human might.



◜ ♕ LIFE WITH THE GIRLS ◞ — namsoon is bad at people, she's bad at people her own age and she's bad at interacting with people her own age. she usually tries to ignore the other girls, with her loud music in her ears, but she's always being roped into doing other things with them. it confuses her, honestly, that these pretty, wonderful people would bother being friends with lee namsoon, of all people, because it's actually never happened to her before. it's a miracle and she's grateful and completely confused. as far as she and dongwoo go, well, everyone can see it.  maybe not namsoon, but definitely everybody.

 
+ BABY I GOT LOVE FOR THEE

◜ ♕ LOVE INTEREST ◞ — jang dongwoo | 20 (09), 29 (19) 

◜ ♕ WHY IS HE IN VERANO  ◞ — he's on vacation because he has money and can, basically


◜ ♕ ABOUT HIM ◞ —  
positive: cheerful, funny, always smiling, hyperactive, passionate, determined, loyal, loving
negative: a stepford smiler, irresponsible, unexpectedly blunt, over emotional, childish, slightly arrogant, overly excitable
  

jang dongwoo's clothes never match - they're always so colorful, and not always colors that match. he'll wear a bright pink t-shirt with green shorts and accept that as his clothing. it's best you don't mention his height to him - he's quite short. he dyes his hair ridiculous colors because he has money to blow and can. in fact, that's the reason he does most of the things he does - he's rich and doesn't have much else to do. he resents the wealth he grew up with, though, and for much of his life was a "disappointment" to his parents to showcase that fact. 

◜ ♕ RELATIONSHIP ◞
the year was 2008. he was a boy with a big smile who wanted to learn how to surf, and somehow accidentally wandered into a children's surf class. she was a surf teacher for little kids whose entire game was thrown off by the presence of an adult. so began the story of jang dongwoo and lee namsoon. of course, briefly into the lesson, namsoon realized that jang dongwoo was basically a kid in the body of an adult. what a surprise - an adult stranger that namsoon can actually talk to! 
from then on, dongwoo and namsoon became - amazing - friends. she could talk to him thanks to his childish demeanor, and dongwoo loves everyone without discriminating, and hence loves namsoon too. he's had a few girlfriends, none of them having worked out; namsoon believes she's unworthy of being loved. so they're friends, extreme friends, friends till then end. 

near the last few days of dongwoo's trip, of course, everything gets messed up. at the encouragement of namsoon's friends, the two ended up going on a sunset walk together. they started talking - about how dongwoo's a lonely rich kid, about namsoon's two little sisters and how she takes care of them. in the mix of their deep conversation, namsoon told dongwoo about her self-esteem issues. that walk was the first time a boy had ever called namsoon beautiful, and the words swam in her head like fish in the sea. it was amazing. she felt - she didn't have a name for what she felt, it was so strange and warm and good and new. and then, shortly afterwards, dongwoo left.

...for that year. summer of 2009, he came back. because he wanted to see namsoon again. namsoon. of all people. she was surprised, but so happy to see her friend again. before that fateful late night talk, she treated him like she would any other little kid - with more respect than the average adult, maybe, but still taking everything he'd say with a grain of salt. dongwoo, on the other hand, is nice to everyone who exists, and was nice to namsoon because why would he not be? 

things are different in 2009. in 2009, namsoon's nervous around dongwoo - not the same was she's nervous around most people, it's different and weird and she doesn't like it. but she likes him, and being around him, and deals with the anxiety because she wants to spend time with him. dongwoo, meanwhile? he's nice to everyone, as i previously stated, but is extra nice to namsoon. he's careful never to offend her and has a tendency to apologize profusely if he thinks he might've, to which she replies by attempting to assure him it's fine. they've grown awkward around each other, and yet they spend so much time together because they simply enjoy each other's presence. (the fact that they're definitely in love is irrelevant, because even if one of them would realize their feelings, the other would never know for fear of messing things up in their friendship.

◜ ♕ LOVE LINE ◞ — everyone can see that they're so into each other it's ridiculous - everyone, of course, besides namsoon and dongwoo.
