PERSONALITY — INFP-T  ;  the mediator 👆
idealistic – or in other words, optimistic. t's a well known fact that sora prefers to look at the brighter side of things. she often is the first one to find the light at the end of the tunnel, and would often preach to more or less ignore the worse side of things.

harmonious – sora is not the type to like being in power, or being in control. she prefers staying more in the sidelines, instead helping those in authority to keep harmony within a group. she prefers a more democratic approach, often working hard to make sure everyone's opinions are heard.

understanding and flexible – sora tends to just go with the flow, and she usually dislikes being constrained by rules. she also likes to give people and ideas the benefit of the doubt. as long as her principles are not being challenged, she'll support people in doing what they think is right.

creative and open-minded – sora's a bit of a visionary. her open-mindedness often allow her to see and think beyond the box to create what would be considered impossible. she'll often be able see things in unconventional perspectives to connect the dots nobody else would have ever thought to do.

passionate and energetic – when something captures sora’s imagination and speaks to her beliefs, she goes all in, dedicating their time, energy, thoughts and emotions to the project. she's usually the first to lend a helping hand where it’s needed.

dedicated and hard-working – sora is not the type to give up when things get rough unlike other people. she takes a task, and she wouldn't stop until the said task is finished. she'll go as far as put her whole life to it, just cause that's who she is.

too idealistic – like mentioned above, sora is an idealistic person, but one musn't forget that the world is dark and unforgiving. sora's idealism sets her for failure after failure more often than not. this also applies to people. since sora would often only see the good side of people, she would often forget that people has bad qualities, and it would often stab her on the back.

too altruistic – sora sometimes sees herself as selfish, but only because she wants to give so much more than she's able to. this becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, as she tries to push herself to commit to a chosen cause or person, forgetting to take care of the needs of others in her lives, and especially herself.

impractical – when something captures sora's imagination, she'll neglect practical matters like day-to-day maintenance and simple pleasures. sometimes she will take this asceticism so far as to neglect eating and drinking as she pursues their passion or cause.

dislike dealing with data – she's all too often so focused on the big picture that she forgets that the forest is made of individual trees. she's in tune with emotions and morality, and when the facts and data contradict her ideals, it can be a real challenge for her.

takes things personally – sora often take challenges and criticisms personally, rather than as inspiration to reassess her positions. avoiding conflict as much as possible, she'll put a great deal of time and energy into trying to align her principles and the criticisms into a middle ground that satisfies everybody.

difficult to get to know – sora is private, reserved and self-conscious. this makes her notoriously difficult to really get to know, and her need for these qualities contributes to the guilt she often feels for not giving more of themselves to those they care about. but once you get to know her well, you'll be able to read sora like an open book because she is a very open person.

BACKGROUND — sora didn't come from a privilaged household, that's just public information everyone knows. she'd always been a smart kid, often applying for scholarship to save her parents from paying for her education. from a young age, she had shown her affinity for architecture, sketching imaginary buildings of astounding design anywhere she can. when she was finally of age to apply in university, she applied for a scholarship, and was accepted. since then she's been living the unfashionable life of an architecture major. ever so slowly, she rose to the top of her class, and eventually reached became the top of her year. from then, she was catapulted from competition to competition, earning herself a name in her school, and to korean architects. once she even turned up in the front page of the paper for getting second place in an asian-wide designing competition centered on innovation. that's where jaebum found her. once he set sights on sora's design, she knew that she was the one.
DID YOU DREAM OF ME?
ROLE — the architect

EXPERIENCE — sora has zero experience with dream sharing. she joined the team because she liked having complete control of the things she created, as well as being able to create impossible places that she would never be able to create as an architect.

also she needs the money cause college ain't cheap.

SKILLS — what can a mere architecture student help in this very important mission, you ask? well, even though she hasn't even got her degree officially, sora's at the top of her year, often the one representing her university at various designing competition. at one time, she even represented south korea for an asian-wide designing competition and got a respectable second-place award. even this early in her career, she specializes in innovative designs that seem to make the impossible possible. she can do amazing designs in reality, imagine what she can do while dreaming.

CAUTION — the fact that sora is new at the whole dream sharing experience should be enough to convince people that she shouldn't be a dreamer. at her first experience, she makes the rookie mistake of deriving from memory, causing her to need to make herself a totem keep her tethered to reality. however, that doesn't mean that she couldn't be trained to not derive from memory, which she'd undoubtedly be trained to do if she gets accepted to this job.

all in all, it would be fine if sora was to be a dreamer. her mind is still young, unblemished by this dark world we live in. she has no major trauma's that force her mind to push forth realistic projections that will most undoubtedly have malevolent intents to keep her forever in the dreamscape. her mind is healthy, and good for dreaming 👍

the only problem would probably with her desire to build the impossible. why would this be a problem, you ask? it makes it so that sometimes, sora wouldn't want to leave her dreamscape, something that would be dangerous for this kind of mission.

(i thought about putting some sort of traumatic event that would potentially project themselves in her dreamscape, but i couldn't think of one for a perfectly healthy albeit sleepless architect, so i put the one thing that architects wish to have. control over the impossible. trust me, i'm an architecture major 😁)

TOTEM — 
sora's totem is an old coin. in reality, the coin is weighed in such a way that it only lands in heads, as well as having a certain weight that only sora knows. in a dream, the coin can land in tails and will weight differently.
I CAN'T REMEMBER.
ALIAS — Mai
COMMENTS — i saw the plotline "the architect" and i was like, this is my time to shine omg. i tried to make a character based on me because i'm the only architect i knww well, but i don't like my own personality lol, so i picked a random myers briggs type and chose that personality. hence the near copy-paste on the personality section. also tell me if the personality is a tad confusing because like i said, i basically just copy pasted it and just reworded some sentences
SCENE REQUESTS — maybe later 
GO BACK TO SLEEP!
