— The mermaid
There was a time when mermaids lived happily along the humans, they helped fishers and travelers when they got lost in the sea and loved interacting with little children, that's until one young human king wanted to have control over the ocean people and started killing those who opposed him. Scared, what was left of the mermaids decided to hide far away from the land, but the ambitious king kept searching for them, leaving the mermaids with little place to hide and almost no resources to survive. Then, one of the mermaids still alive, decided to live as a human and wanted to take her people with her but no one agreed, so she left alone, soon humans started forgetting about them until they were only myths and bed time storys. The mermaid who left the ocean is Linnea's relative, sadly mermaids are almost extinct and Linnea is the only left in the world. 

— kind, gentle, sensitive, loyal, shy, insecure, distrustful, introverted. 

As sociable as a potatoe...
Linnea has been a shy person since birth, she is awkward when interacting with new people and still feels uncomfortable when interacting with people she is not close to, let's just say Linnea can't really function near people. It is not a secret that Linnea dislikes public speaking and finds it hard to voice her opinion, most of the time in class she is silently taking notes and trying not to participate, unless the teacher calls her, Linnea won't participate at all. Even with her closest friends and her family, Linnea prefers to stay quiet and observe, she is the type of person who takes in all the details about every person or situation and tends to know about everything and everyone even if she is not noticed. It's not that Linnea dislikes people or the company, it's just that she doesn't know how to act around people, she gets nervous and then usually will act and sound rude.

Wandering child, so lost, so helpless...
The fact that her father abandoned her when Linnea was five years old deeply affected her, since young she has been insecure and has disliked her personality, making it more difficult for her to make friends. Linnea has always been insecure and quite reserved, her being always to quiet made her and easy target for bullying during elementary and middle school and her being a sensitive person didn't made it easier. It used to be bad, really bad, Linnea would return home and cry in her room because she couldn't defend herself, but her little family helped her and her few friends also helped Linnea learn to stand for herself. in time things changed and bullying stopped almost completely, Linnea started to talk a little more and she defended her self, she is still sensible and what people say about her really affects Linnea but it isn't the way it was before.

 We go together...
Linnea is a kind person even if she takes her time warming to people, she has never started a fight and prefers not to mess with people, Linnea focuses on herself and lets others be. For Linnea to open up to someone and to really trust them is hard and it takes time, Linnea usually suspects from overly friendly people and will keep her distance until she has oberved enough. Over time, she has learned to read people's actions and to see right through them knowing their true intentions, Linnea is not naive and won't easily fall for people's lies (even if she is easy to prank). Linnea cherishes those close to her, she is a loyal friend and a great listener,  sometimes Linnea would give advice but only if she is asked to (Linnea doesn't gossip), sadly Linnea still feels people will leave her, that's why she is so scared of opening to others. What she hates of first impresions is that people take her for only a pretty face and won't take her seriously, people often think she is hollow and that's why she doesn't really talk but they don't realize the anxiety Linnea can get from trying to interact with others.

 

A little more...
Linnea doesn't get mad easily and she never shouts at anyone (Linnea really has to be upset to shout), Linnea does cry easily with... almost everything (movies, books, music, random videos on youtube...), she loves food and open spaces (Linnea loves nature and animals). Linnea usually thins over and over what she will say (if she wants to say something) and never acts impulsively, she is gentle in everything she does because she likes being careful. 
 

— father / kang, geun woo / 37 / passionate, sensitive, outgoing, hard working.
linnea remembers very little of her father but she misses him a lot. 
— mother / jonassen, lilith / died at age 18 / romantic, sweet, dreamer, innocent.
lilith died when linnea was born so she knows nothing about her mother, linnea only owns one picture of her but she has no clue about her mother's personality.

 

— adoptive mother / moon, yeonri / died at age 49 / independent, kind, funny, loving.
yeonri traveled to norway with her family and decided to stay there because she fell in love with a young fisherman, they married and lived happily until he died on an accident yeonri was like a mother to linnea, she was understanding and cared a lot for her, linnea misses her a lot and cries every time she thinks of her. 

— the only boy she is comfortable with / zhang, yixing / 18 / silent, kind, smart, easily distracted.
the fact that linnea is not sociable it's not a secret, what is strange is that she has liked yixing since the first time linnea saw him, he has some calming effect on her and strangely linnea looks forward to talking to yixing (linnea doesn't talk much).
