face claim » Pony Makeup

Pony has some very European styled makeup tutorials, and those better suited Aelin.

backup face claim » Michelle Phan

Talent Twins » 

Singing=Solar (MAMAMOO)

Dance=Kim Yuna (Ice-Skater). I don't mean Yuna's dance on land, but the elegance and grace she has on ice.

Composing=Suga (BTS) I mean that she is at Suga's level of producing and composing (a.k.a. very good).

 

appearance » With her mixed heritage, Aelin has a very unique and elegant look. (Refer to Face Claim). She has her mother's complexion (pale), eye-colour (blue-green) and naturally chocolate-brown hair. However, her features look more Korean. She is quite tall (168cm) and has a slender build. She used to wear contacts in public to hide her nautral eye-colour, however, she eventually accepted the fact and now rarely wears contacts. She doesn't wear glasses.

style » Influenced by her mother's modelling career, Aelin usually wears classy and elegant clothing. She generally wears a crisp blouse and pairs it with skinny jeans and sometimes a blazer or coat. She is a fan of accessorising and often carries designer bags or clutches. To finish her sophisticated look, she pairs her outfits with jewellry. Her favourite jewellry brands are Pandora and Swarovski.

To sum it up, simplicity=elegance.

 

" Elegance is not about standing out, but being remembered"

"

" Elegance is when the inside is as beautiful as the outside."

 

SIMPLICITY IS THE ULTIMATE FORM OF SOPHISTICATION

plotline » (#7 Freebie) The Elegant

personality » From a young age, Aelin was taught to have grace and dignity. Because of this, she has suppressed most of her natural personality in hopes of being what her parents wanted. Her mask is dignified; she is silent, and her every gesture of movement screams elegance. She was taught to be perfect, and although part of her knows that this is unattainable, she tries to be close to it. She was always the top in everything in life, and she always reached it with seemingly ease (although it actually stressed her). She has always been the leader.

However, behind this mask, she is really a young girl who is tired of trying to be someone else. Although parts of her mask have become woven into her, behind her calmness is someone with a craziness that has never been let loose. Only when she is with her brother does she show her true colours. 

Because of her struggle to reach perfection, she often loss hours of sleep to study or panic. It has now become a habit for her to not sleep at all for a few days straight. This makes her very snappy and tired. She bottles all her anger up, but sometimes, it fills up and she unleashes her anger on anyone who dares to talk to her.

ELEGANCE IS THE ONLY BEAUTY that NEVER FADES

background » Her mother is a French model and her father is a Korean fashion designer. The two met at the Paris Fashion Week where her mother was modelling on of her father's gowns. She was born in Paris, the same city where her parents met, were engaged, eventually married and had their first child, Hwang Jonghyun (Calvin). She grew up surrounded by the glitz and glamour of the city of lights. Her mother and father's careers often meant that she would travel with them. She often travelled around Europe, America and Asia. However, all the lights of the cities began to tire her, and she often dreamt about going to someone so remote that the only light for kilometers around her would be from the moon and stars above.

Her parents often hosted parties where she would be expected to make an appearance. She was taught to be polite and dignified. This eventually grew to her parents pressurizing her to be perfect. This eventually became very stressful and it broke her relationship with her parents. 

When she was 15, her mother was involved in a scandal with a male celebrity and this sparked many arguments with her mother and her father. After 5 months of tension in the family, the two divorced. Calvin stayed with his mother in France and Aelin moved to Seoul with her father.

Since then, Aelin has never talked to her mother, however, she still has a close bond with Calvin. They spend hours on the phone each week. When Aelin decided to attend Kirin High, her father was supportive of her decision in venturing into the arts. She often went to her father for help, and this helped rebuild their relationship.

It came to a shock for Calvin when Aelin said that she wanted to venture into the arts, because she had never shown any interest in it, however, he soon found out that she only hid her passion for it because she was scared that her parents might stop her from pursuing art.

At Kirin High, she was an introvert, but not a wallflower. Despite her reclusive nature, she attracted attention with every movement she made. People noticed her because of the air of beauty that surrounded her. She was known to be talented and people respected her for it.

AS STORY PROGRESSES

After getting close to her roomate (The Hopeless Romantic), she began talking to more people. Her roomate dragged her into many parties and there, she started making more friends. 

family » This was mainly covered in 'Background':

Mother: Her relationship with her mother is very bad, because of her mother's constant nagging and the pressure that she places on her daughter to be perfect.

Father: This was first a little rocky, however, since entering Kirin High, the two have managed to rebuild their relationship. Her father is a hard-worker, but he always makes time and space for his daughter.

Brother: Calvin (Hwang Jonghyun) is a model under Burberry (the company the father sells most of his designs to) and although work keeps him busy, he still spends hours each week talking to his sister. He is the only one that knows her true personality as a funny, crazy and talkative girl.

friends/rivals » 

Friends: Her parents never encouraged her to make friends in France, however, that didn't stop her from doing so. She has two close friends from France, Hailey and Melissa. She still keeps in contact with the two. When she moved to Seoul, she didn't make an effort to make friends, mainly because she knew that the school could get very competitive. She was originally too scared to make friends at Kirin, in fear that one of them could betray her in order to debut. However, she started talking more often to her roomate, who eventually became her closest friend in Korea.

 She is also close to Jackson, Namjoon and Mark because she can speak English with them. She is also friends with BTS.

Rivals: She dislikes people who step on others to reach the top (perhaps the diva - if accepted). 

 
 
 

ELEgance is a STATEMENT, AN ATTITUDE

love interest » Kim Taehyung. (He reminds her of the person who she truly is, funny, talking and crazy).

backup love interest » Kim Seokjin. (She admires how although he is sometimes very calm, he can switch of that personality and become funny and sweet.)

 

personality » Kim Taehyung is funny and sweet, and very dedicated. He is very talkative and although at first they never really spoke to eachother, through Rap Monster, the two became friends. He is oblivious to the fact that Aelin likes him and sees her as a friend.

 

love story » Was it admiration or love? At first, Aelin thinks that she loves Taehyung, however, she knows that Taehyung only sees her as a friend. After Taehyung starts dating someone else, she realises that she doesn't feel heart-broken. She begins to realise that she only admired him because he reminded her of both her brother, and who she really is. She supports his relationship and becomes friends with the character he is dating.

CLASS, DIGNITY AND ELEGANCE WILL NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE

comments/suggestions » I think it would be cool for her and 'The Hard-Worker' to clash because of their personalities. They both strive for the highest and I think this could cause some interesting tension between them.

I realised that her personality wasn't really decribed well, basically, she was always taught to have class, dignity and elegance, which eventually became part of her. However, another part of her is a crazy, funny teenager. This is the part of her that begins to be revealed throughout the story.

scene requests » Her real personality is revealed at a party with most people from the school. She forgets that shew should be a 'lady' and starts dancing with everyone else and laughing. I think it would be cool to describe this scene where everyone is shocked by her casualness.
