ELABORATION —

• Park Sora, 18 years old, almost 5'1" in "American terms", most people know this girl as the eerily quiet cousin of the school's resident bad boy. But underneath that persona, you'll find the kind cutie that she actually is. To Sora, her school work is the most important thing to her, and that reflects in her studious nature. She's not one of the natural smarties, but instead works hard to get her good grades. From a young age, she's had to do chores around the house like laundry and vaccuming to get an allowance. This has taught her how to save money and be responsible with it as well. It has also taught her the value of hygiene and she has become a very clean person in the process. Unlike most of the kids who roll through high school only worrying about how popular they are, Sora's always been focused on making her aunt and uncle proud by keeping her grades in tip top shape. 

• Though on the outside it may appear like she's the perfect child, everyone has their flaws. One of Sora's biggest flaws, to her anyway, is she's just a little bit odd. Most people get things as perfect as they can, with Sora, it HAS to be perfect. She has a little bit of ocd and because of that she's a perfectionist. Despite growing up with a family who was constantly throwing parties, she's very shy and finds it hard to be loud in a crowd. Which also happens to be her reasoning for why she shouldn't be on the cheer squad. When it comes to friends, unless you approach her first there's a 99.9% chance she won't try to befriend you. Not because she doesn't want to be your friend, but just because she prefers to avoid any social interaction. Despite having a grafitti-painting bad-boy for a best friend/cousin, Sora's still very naive and is likely to believe or do anything you say. She's not one to stand up for herself, and can be easily influenced due to her weak-will.
 

BACKGROUND + FAMILY LIFE —

• Sora's background is as simple as you can get. Well...mostly, anyway. Right after she was born, Sora was dumped on her aunt and uncle's doorstep and has been living there ever since. When she turned 4, her aunt began teaching her pretty basic things like how to read and write, and then was when she found out if she was smart, she got praised. From then on, she did her best to get the best grades as it was something that made her guardians happy. When she turned 7, her uncle took her to what he thought was a ballet studio to sign her up for classes. Turns out, it was a gymnastics studio, but since Sora seemed to enjoy it, they didn't try to switch her into dance. Up until high school, nothing exciting happened. She made a few friends, (cough she only made one cough) continued to get good grades, and was a pretty good gymnast, until her accident happened. She was visiting another studio with her teacher, neither of them knowing all the equipment was on the verge of falling apart, and when she was on the balance beam it broke out from under her, causing her to plummet to the ground from 8 feet in the air. Thankfully she didn't get hurt other than a big bruise on her leg from the fall, but she swore to never be that high up again and has been afraid of heights ever since.

• Though Sora's parents aren't in her life, she still has two great parental figures in her life, her Aunt Dami and Uncle Kyungwoo. Though they are happy that she gets good grades, they honestly wish they wouldn't have showed so much excitement about it all those years ago. They're a bit concerned that she worries so much about pleasing them, but haven't touched on the topic because they don't know how to approach the subject. That being said, they have a lot of fun when they're together, bonding over fun things like their games. They have several ones such as "how fast can we wash all the dishes and get them in the drying rack" and her aunt's personal favorite, "let's see how much salt we can put in your uncle's drink without him noticing". As far as the type of guardians they are, they're not super clingy, but they're not completely lax either. She has a curfew, has some set chores she has to do, but other than that there's nothing major her aunt and uncle are strict on. Besides the number one rule: No Boys In Your Room.

 

RELATIONSHIPS — 

• The Nice Oppa - Son Hyunwoo - Senior - Quiet, Kind, Trustworthy - Sora has seen him around a few times, mainly whenever she met up with Hoseok after class. He's never really said more that hello and goodbye to her, but all that changed when they both got put on the cheer team. Now they have longer conversations that mainly go on right before and after cheer practice.
• The Brother-Like Best-Cousin-Friend - Shin Hoseok - Senior - Protective, Arrogant, Loyal - She's known him for basically all of her life, and he treats her more like his little sister than his cousin/new best friend. They grew closer after a certain flower boy ditched him and have become basically best friends ever since. Since they both joined the cheer team, Hoseok is trying harder than ever to protect her and more importantly, keep her far away from Hyungwon.
• The Quiet Classmate - Lee Minhyuk - Junior - Quiet, Coldhearted, Stoic - They're in the same grade so they've been in a few classes together before, but Sora doesn't really want to be friends with him. Mostly because he associates himself with Jooheon. They still don't talk more than required of them, even after joining the team. 
• The Revenge Seeker - Yoo Kihyun - Junior - Intelligent, Crafty, Vengeful  - She thinks of him like a criminal mastermind in the making. She's a bit frightened by how determined he is to wreck havoc on Lee Jooheon. Sora honestly doesn't care about the fact that he wants revenge, just is a bit annoyed that he's dragging Changkyun into it when he calls him stuff like "Chikyu and Chungkun". 
• The One She Doesn't Want To Be Anywhere Near - Chae Hyungwon - Junior - Selfish, Inconsiderate, Charming Honestly, he's her least favorite person on the team, even though most people's least favorite is Jooheon. She's still mad that he ditched Hoseok last year, and is honestly just hurt that he completely humiliated her in front of his new friends. She used to have a crush on him, and thought he had the same feelings for her, but all that changed when he became the school's popular flower boy. When she saw him at cheer practice and he tried to approach her, her first thought was to run away. Well, she didn't get the chance to do that because as soon as Hoseok saw Hyungwon heading towards her he dragged her away.
• The Annoying One Who Started This Mess - Lee Jooheon - Sophomore - Crazy, Mean, Devious  - She's furious with him. How could one idiot mess up this bad that he gets THIRTEEN others in trouble!? She doesn't even try to get along with him at first,
• The New Neighbor - Im Changkyun - Freshman - Shy, Sweet, Level-headed - She was one of the first people to befriend Changkyun, and one of the few people she allows to call her Noona. Changkyun normally comes to find her when he gets lost or wants her help on homework. She was happy to find out that he got dragged into the cheer team as well.
• The One Who Mutually Dislikes Her  - Oh Haeyoung - Freshman - Uncooperative, Smart, Cold - Neither of them really care for the other, mostly due to both of them disliking the other's best friend. Further into their practice sessions, they begin to bond a little bit over having the same team position.

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES — None
DETENTIONS & SUSPENSIONS — she has received two detentions total, both of which were Hoseok's fault. All she was doing was taking the can of spray paint away from him, not actually spray painting herself, which is what it looked like if you saw it out of context.

 

SQUAD POSITION + BACKUP — Flyer + Tumbler

REASONS THEY GOT THE POSITION — She's too short in comparison to everyone else to be a base, and she didn't do a good enough job of catching Haeyoung when she fell, so they put her as a flyer since she did take gymnastics at one point in her life. The only thing they didn't account for was her fear of heights.
(insp. when i was a cheerleader and our flyer was the only one small enough to lift up but she was scared of heights)
