APPEARANCE
• the first thing people usually take notice of when they see shinae is her tresses of blue, green and purple. a hairstyle that stemmed from a dare to something she genuinely loves and spends a fifth of her salary, do not ever insult her mane. insanely attractive with curves in all the right places and a permanent smirk gracing her sculpted face, a pretty obvious beauty mark yearns for attention from under her left eye, and it adds to her assertive and sultry aura instead of making her less attractive. with prominent cheekbones and a bridged nose ( the latter a result of plastic surgery ), shinae's signature look consists of a blemish-free complexion, winged eyelinger and red lipstick.
OTHER — it's probably worth noting that she smells of a mixture of mandarin, orange blossom, tonka bean, sandalwood and vanilla ( otherwise known as coco mademoiselle ) twenty fours seven.
HEIGHT & WEIGHT — even taller than caden at 184 cm and weighing a healthy 72 kilograms "then how do I carry you bridal style when we get married?" "we won't, andrew. simple."
FASHION SENSE
• everything shinae wears screams 'trendy'. leather and monotone are her best friends, and she's able to make her outfit 'in' even when leatheris 'out'. the result of reading vogue every month is her being able to stay on the top of trends. her usual outfit consits of the top people are raving over, the jeans people are scrambling to buy, and the shoes that make people stare at her in jealousy, all paired together seamlessly and topped off with a leather jacket. if you had to know, her favourite outfit of all times consists of a black, buckled leather jacket, a tight, white halter crop top, navy jeans and high heeled boots. shinae does like wearing pants more than dresses, but when she's feeling extra lazy rr just decided that a skirt or dress went with her outfit, she would put on a skirt or dress. and well, a girl's gotta have some formal gowns no matter what, and shinae has two. one is a light teal tea-length dress adorned with green ( fake ) crystals, and another is a midnight blue fishtail adorned with swarovoski crystals. she would own more, but she'd rather borrow some rental shops or get one from her mother's closet. click here to step into shinae's walk-in closet, and remember- do not touch her clothes. ever.
PERSONALITY TRAITS —
NEGATIVE: captious, satirical, contemptuous, irritable.
NEUTRAL: impartial, maternal.
POSITIVE: adaptive, meticulous, autonomous, articulate.
ELABORATION —
• yeo 'andriana' shinae is the girl you get a temporary crush on when she walks past you on the street or sits at the table next to yours in a café. with a confident and alluring aura that lingers around her, the click of her heels and the swinging of her hair garner attention wherever she goes. the girl whose drinks are all free when she's at a bar since everyone's paying for her, shinae is the walking definition of a feminist: genuinely believing in gender equality ( and not the type to tell everyone her views on that topic ) and is able able to take care of herself without the help of other people. not yout typical headstrong woman who yearns for someone to cuddle, shinae really is just who she appears to be: the sarcastic, independent woman who will make a name for herself some day, and she won't need a man.

• the epitome of a perfectionist, shinae tends to find fault in everyone, everything and herself. incredibly picky and harbouring extremely high expectations to pretty much everyone and everything she comes across, shinae is dissatisifed with a lot of things and she isn't afraid to voice her opinions either. those at heart! know better than to ask her for her thoughts on their work, because shinae will always find something to nitpick ( really, she just wants heart! works to be successful ), whether it's the layout or the model or the content itself, she's able to find the needle in the haystack and frequently needs everything and everyone around her to be in tip-top shape, no excuses. "shinae-ssi, mirae's down with a cold so the report jaegun-ssi asked her to--" "too bad. I expect it to be on his desk by tomorrow morning. he's me, I'm him. get to work." it doesn't help that everything she says is littered with sarcasm, and with her permanent disapproving attitude, it just makes her seem extra scary and mean to those at heart!. everything she says includes the use of irony and sarcasm, "." "oh dear, please don't talk about yourself like that!" and the few who had had enough if shinae and her arrogant attitude and tried to talk back have failed terribly, and only stew from afar. her intentions are always good and she just wishes the best for heart! and hopes the workers can deliver and develop their potential, but with a rather ty temper, she gets ticked off very easily and you can always see her yelling her head off at someone else for not doing well enough, and paired with her sarcasm, she's the devil of the company.

•treating everyone the exact same, "seomin. no." "I'm your boss--" "I'm the one who manages the people in this office. no." shinae upholds the principle of justice and makes decisions based on objective criteria instead of personal feelings. when faced with an inefficient best friend and an efficient enemy and a job at heart!, she'd choose the enemy. she just believes in fairness and that everyone deserves a chance, and she's able to divide her personal and work life clearly. "skylar, let's enforce--" "dating is allowed in the workplace, shinae. no." who gives a damn about their friends' feelings when faced with job opportunies and chances at success? definitely not shinae. granted she'd feel guilty, but that doesn't stop her from seeing the world in plain black and white. there is no grey zone, and she has never understood the movies in which those who broke the rules are considered heros. "they saved the world, mushinun." "they broke the law. I don't see anything heroic about that." "you're y when you're arguing." "are you saying I'm not y normally, andrew?"  but with her annoyingly mean exterior, shinae reminds some of a mother. the kind to go out with the staff of heart! and order vegetables and make everyone eat some, the kind who knows how to treat different sicknesses, "but mirae-" "bundle her in a blanket, give her a cup of warm honey, and tell her to get to work." shinae would be a slightly terrifying mother. the one who's loving and kind at times and changes into a demon when angry ( which also means frequently ), shinae is the frightening mother figure of the company. screaming at every 'child' there is yet booting them all out of the company as soon as the clock reaches seven pm, shinae confuses everyone else at the company as she flits between being incredibly nice and incredibly mean.

•able to get used to her surroundings easily, shinae never frets and is able to keep clam in the most chaotic of situations. when everyone else is freaking out she's able to sit and think of a solution. throw her into unfamiliar surroundings and she'll know how to survive by the next day. whenever something happens at heart!, people automatically turn to caden and her, expecting a solution in fifteen minutes, and they usually deliver. that being said, it doesn't mean she just goes with the flow. sure, she accepts what life throws at her, but she won't just sit there and in fact would fight back, especially if she feels something's wrong. but when she's content with what's happening, you can expect a formal and dignified woman who is in control of her life and pretty much everything around her except andrew's hormones who takes in every detail around her. the nervous flicker or the tense posture of anyone, really, and she'd step up and say, in her usual monotone, that everything would be okay, which adds to her maternal ways. and yet it also makes her excessively picky- with an eye for too much detail, she tends to notice, and with her straightforward way of speaking, she says it as it is. and she isn't afraid of the consequences- who cares if she ruins her own connections? she'll be able to stand on the top by herself anyways. icoming from a rich family only made her even more independent, and since young she's been able to take care of herself perfectly well without any help from home. and with her eloquence, shinae is nothing short of a strong woman who is determined to make a name for herself.
 
BACKGROUND —
• the grand-daughter of yeo taehwan, the founder of  jeolgeoum group, shinae started from the top. jeolgeoum mainly produced industry, chemical, shipping, insurance and financial products. it wasn't the richest company, but in short, shinae is a chaebol. her family wasn't necessarily mean to their daughter, but it was obvious that they favoured their son more than her, but shinae was still treated perfectly well, unlike the scenarios frequently shown in dramas. while her father tended to her brother and groomed him into the heir he would be, shinae and her mother got very close and since young she'd learn that the world of business is dark and that she should work hard to succeed by herself, and told her to not rely on their family's company. and because of her mother's words, shinae was a top student at school, and again going against stereotypes, did not go around with her nose in the air and bully people.

•shinae was born on 6th june, 1991 in los angeles, california. her father had decided to branch their company into the states and the whole family had been living in california for around three years when shinae was born. the korean branch was in good hands with her uncle, and jeolgeoum, known as joy group in america, was starting off to a pretty good start. even though shinae was quiet and only known as the korean genius in middle school, by freshman year she was the dream girl of numerous people, many enamoured with her exotic and attractive looks. she received confessions regularly and although she never really socialized, she still somehow got a harem, or at least, that's what her (few) friends in america said. when shinae was sixteen, her uncle passd away from a heart attack and so their family moved back to korea, leaving joy groupi in the hands of her fathers' trusted employees.  and since then, shinae has always been in korea, again being a goddess, and with her mother's permission, was an ulzzang.
 
LIFESTYLE —
• a fresh graduate from seoul university with a master's degree business, shinae is living alone in a penthouse apartment, funded by ( to her dismay ) her family, but bought in her name. it's not something she's proud of, but she isn't complaining because, well it is a penthouse after all, and she is a chaebol, better use her position's perks, right? so in short, she lives alone in a penthouse in gangnam all alone. she doesn't even have a pet. she cooks when she can, but recently she's ordering so much jajamyeon and italian takeout sungjoon is threatening her with their house's helpers "start eating properly or I'll send them to cook a full gourmet spread" " you " but for shinae, work is important, so to hell with food. the few reasons why she hasn't taken up a comfy job at jeolgeoum and is spending her time and temper at a rising company is because of her friendship with caden, her pride and her mothers' words. "and me!" "not you, andrew."

• siblings - yeo sungjoon ( 28)- general manager of yeo group- psychocentric, ignorant, gallant, trucelent  
→you might expect sungjoon and shinae to be incredibly awkward with each other because of their family background and the fact that shinae was borderline outcasted ( as in treated well but pretty much never really included in the family ), but no, the two get along very well. in fact, they've went from hair-pulling, arm-biting playmates to a pair of ( seemingly ) sophisticated and dignified pair of siblings who garner the jealous stares of everyone else when they attend formal dinners or galas together. in reality, sungjoon is your typical playboy- times a hundred. with flirtatious words and lots of money to spend on his numerous girlfrieds, he seems like the annoying chaebol people would all hate. but sungjoon is able to know when to goof around and when to not, and is actually a pretty good asset to the company. shinae and sungjoon bicker a lot in private, and she often kicks between his legs.

• best friends ( sighs )  - yoon 'caden' jaegun (26) - heart!works coo + main publisher - introverted, viruous, maladroit, pushover
→so when shinae was too good at english literature and was arranged to join the literature class the older students were attending, shinae ended up sitting with caden. when you put two introverted people together, you'd expect plain awkwardness, but because caden was maladroit and shinae was assertive, the multiple projects they had to do together ended up making them best friends. when together, caden spends most of his time listening to shinae rant about whatever she's unhappy about, and add his views when necessary. and as caden is more of the type who just works and doesn't care about anything else, the time they spent studying together had shinae fussing over him and cooking for him. even when she moved back to korea they kept in close contact, and the day the yoon trio went back to korea shinae waited at the airport and couldn't stop herself from giving him a big ol' hug. so yes, the're close. very close, and a prime example of friendship, and friendship only, between a male and female.

• good friends - nam jihyun (24) - student teacher - pessimistic, inarticulate, assiduous, demure
→jihyun is the girl shinae met at college. the former started out as a business major, but soon changed her major into elementary education. before the change happened though, jihyun's quiet and demure nature invoked the motherly instinct in shinae, and the two became fast friends. they're like sisters: shinae as the tough older sister who's extremely experienced in life and jihyun the innocent younger sister who's here to venture out into the world for the first time. jihyun often asks shinae for advice and is awlays texting the latter abotut...well...everything. it sometimes annoys shinae, as jihyun would stutter and just nod whenever shinae ranted and not provide any help at all, but she knows jihyun really does care for her and is happy to be her listener, provided that jihyun will be there for hr as well. oh right, sungjoon is pining after jihyun and shinae is determined to protect her from her horrid brother.

• unclear tbh - shin mirae (19)- intern at heart! works-  amiable, forgetful, exuberant, insensitive
→the newest intern at heart!works, mirae is, quoting shinae, a mess. messing up everything she is told to do and always tripping at that little area in the office where the carpet is loose ( everyone else already knows to not step on that area ) it's a miracle why mirae is still at heart! and why shinae hasn't told skyler to fire her. it's mainly because shinae can see that mirae honestly tries- she just usually ends up faiing. even though the former is normally merciless, the way mirae scurries around and says she'd help with a smile on her face has earned her a soft spot in shinae's heart and she'dl ike to give the younger one a chance. mirae is terrified of and admires shinae at the same time- she's terrified when shinae goes over her work and her face gets darker with every line she reads, but when shiane grudgingly comforts or compliments her, she feels ecstatic.
TRIVIA
• she has this weird obsession with hair and likes ruffling the hair of people she knows, and classifies hair quallity ranging from 'fluffy' to 'not fun to play with'. her favourite hair to play with, not matter how weird that sounds, is caden's. 
• shinae's instagram is andrieyeo__ and with her gorgeous feed of hb1 and busy life and her pretty face, she has 64.2k followers.
• a huge er for horror movies, she loves the suspension, the gore and the jump scares. and it really needs to be horrifying or action packed- her standards are incredibly high, and she actually fell asleep watching 47 ronin and all her friends sideyed her. expect her to knock on the doors, swear at the ghosts and take selfies at a haunted house.
• shinae is a great drinker, and tends to be the few sober ones left after a night of drinking. she usually ends up paying for everyone ( come on, she does have the money ) and likes to choose someone from the table and tell them she used their card.
• she has the appetite of a pig, a bear and a lion together, and also the metabolism of a mutant. she's the girl who eats three plates of spaghetti, calls for one more, and still stays the exact same weight. 
• with her work over anything priorities, it'd be surprising to know that she has dated before. she had two boyfriends during high school "or was it college?" and now she doesn't even really remember their name. "you're so heartless why are you working at heart!works?" "you don't exactly bring joy to the girlfriends you have either" she's a , and while she doesn't believe in after marriage, she hasn't had anyone she's been serious about to have with.
• shinae is a very good cook. korean dishes and italian dishes are her forte and she'd cook a lunch for caden the night before if she had the time since she knows he'd forget to eat.
• she does not drink any form of caffeine, and is able to stay up with numerous cups of water.
• to be very honest, shinae hated skyler the first time they met, and at times she still gets annoyed at the older girl. but over the years she's gotten used to the screaming, hyperactive mess that is skyler and sometimes enjoys her company, not that she'd admit it.

LOVE INTEREST — yoon "andrew" jinhyuk
BACKUP — it's either him or shinae'll just be the strong independent woman she is
GENDER — female male
 
PERSONALITY —
POSITIVE: gregarious, confident, gallant.
NEGATIVE: prideful, talebearing, psychocentric.
• there is a certain reason why yoon 'andrew' jinhyuk gets all the ladies. if it's not his looks then it's undoubtedly the smarmy words he can conjure up. when andrew posts a selfie on social networks, girls start typing hearts and 'oppa's. andrew smiles at another female and the girls start directing hate at the unlucky fangirl. with that chisled jaw and boyish grin, andrew's got his own little fanbase- his three thousand followers on twitter and instagram, and by that, I mean respectively. andrew's first girlfriend was at age four, back in his hometown. they'd had puppy love, got cooed over, then a new girl moved into town and andrew broke up with the girl, and that was where our playboy started his ways. andrew's existence is decorated with anime glitter and roses as beautiful classical music play in the background. he grins, he winks, and everyone within a fifty kilometre radius of him are either blinded by the sparkles or swoon pathetically at him. 

• walk up to any other male and ask who yoon 'andrew' jinhyuk is. they'd shrug and probably say something along the lines of 'he gets all the ladies'. andrew has practically zero friendship within males but if he lacks in bros, he gets the hoes. and that's already a polite way of saying so. he is a er for attention and enjoys everyone's eyes on him. andrew is one who values his dignity greatly and is always arguing to save his face even though it's obvious the tables have turned and he just seems pathetic. he always refuses to admit that he's wrong even though the facts are practically right there, showing that he's wrong and he might also probably needs to apologize because of the spiteful words he might have said when arguing. but he won't, as he feels that a man needs his dignity. andrew's also probably going to be one of the biggest gossipers you'll ever know. spreading rumours and adding uneeded and fake information to every piece of information he gets on hand before spreading it out again, one should never entrust andrew with a secret- give him a day and everyone in your social circle will know about it. it's not like he enjoys betraying people, but it's just that he can't seem to keep his mouth shut even if he wants to. he would apologize for it, but he doesn't try to change.

• if anything, andrew is one who always puts himself first. he often acts for the benefit of himself and rarely thinks of others. he puts himself as first and doesn't see anything he does as wrong, as his ego is always blowing up in his face for him to notice just how wrong he is. andrew fails to see why he should help others when he's the one living his own life, and is always using his sweet words to please others and worm himself out of problems. knowing exactly which buttons to push when talking to others, andrew refuses to help people other than himself and is often branded as selfish. even so, if you're close enough with him, he just might help you. might. after helping himself. even if andrew seems to be the largest alive, he's got his (few) positive traits. for one, andrew is sociable, and he can make friends easily. he's cheerful and rarely takes hateful comments to heart and thus breezes through conversations easily. a total social butterfly, andrew boasts four hundred contacts on his phone (though he only contacts a tenth of them).

• andrew is also outrageously confident. he firmly believes that everyone will appreciate hard work and is thus always confident, as he knows that he's already put his best into the things he does. he might be a stuck up little , but he knows that one won't succeed without trying and he always puts in his utmost effort, whether it be flirting with girls or teaching or trying to get saffron's affinity. he hates those who get what they want without trying just because they have a rich background or people who help them way too much. and he knows that's he's done his best, and thus he's oddly confident in his words, his actions, and rarely listens to words that berate him or are negative. he believs, no, he knows he's the best, and thus is confident. andrew's also a very, very sweet talker. he's very gentlemanly when he's not hitting up females. let's just say that if you were standing right underneath a huge fan, he'd voluntarily stand next to you to block some of the wind...while chatting you up. he's honestly standing there to help the girl, but then his insctincts starting kicking in and he just opens his mouth and blabbers away. his intentions are good, but his actions aren't those that can exactly convey what he wants to do.
LOVE STORY
• yoon 'andrew' jinhyuk felt his hormones raging and an urge to take the girl as his as soon as he saw shinae at the airport waiting for them. his jaw dropped when he saw the extremely hot and definitely not in his brother's league of a woman hug his brother, and when he sidled up to flirt, all he got was a sneer and a cold reponse. and that, is where our resident little got his first rejection.

• apart from the fact his pride is bruised from the rejection, the other reason why andrew is so intent on dating shinae is because the older woman just turns him on with everything she does, and he's determined to break down the independent exterior. when he got the news that shinae was working at heart!, he decided he'd spend all his time there just to see her ( and maybe flirt around too ) and try to get on her good side. of course, shinae sees right through him and is indifferent to his advances, because, well work.

• to andrew's dismay, all his tactics have never worked on shinae- he'd get a teasing grin and a tickle under his chin before he demeanor comes back and he stands there feeling like a very aroused fool, but other than that, she has never responded to him. and to his bigger dismay, he finds himself falling for the woman for real, staring at her with dreamy instead of lustful eyes. there's no denying that shinae feels some sort of attraction for the kid ( or so she calls him ), but he's too young for her liking and well, she's determined to date her future husband, not a playboy. jinhyuk has seriously confessed before, and shinae has told him exactly what she thought: she returned ( a small portion of ) his feelings, but there's no reason for her to date someone as young and financially unstable as him.
 
RELATIONSHIP — extreme yearning from andrew, lots of teasing from shinae.
STATUS — a mess.
 
RELATIONSHIP STATEMENT — I know I'm still a child now, I can't catch up to you yet; only a little while more... (seventeen- when I grow up)
COMMENTS
shinae is literally taller thna caden and heavier than andrew oops. no pictures for the style section because I'm lazy ;; I suppose you can delete mirae and put in another applicant that shinae always gets angry at, but seeing that there aren't many applicants for intern, I made one up otl.
SCENE SUGGESTIONS —
• when sungjoon visits and everyone's incredibly jealous over the perfect siblings but then shinae just kicks him in the balls suddenly and everyone gapes
• let us have some caden+shinae bickering
• shinae boots everyone out at 5pm as usual and when mirae whimpers she wants to stay and finish her work shinae goes and sits right next to her and they work together??
• shinae teasing jinhyuk.
