PERSONALITY: 

Positive: Choi Hanmi Violet is a very happy-go-lucky, optimistic kind of girl that finds joy in the smallest things in life like; getting the last piece of beef at dinner or having a butterfly land on her at the park. She views the world as a cheerful, rainbows and unicorn type of place. Lettie tries her best to spread hope and happiness during dull times. She loves making the people around her laugh but will often end up laughing too hard to finish telling the joke. Lettie is a carefree and easygoing soul. She is energetic and lively 24/7. She is always seen skipping down the corridor while whistling a cheerful tune or wearing a smile that reaches her ears. Lettie is willing to do anything to help out (often the first person to volunteer to stack chairs or clean up). She determined and driven girl that won't just follow her dreams; she'll chase them. Lettie is also very hardworking and driven. She always strives to do her best and is very persistent. Lettie loves what she does and excels in her interests. She can pick things up quickly and adapts to new people, environments and cultures easily. She is known throughout Big Hit Entertainment to be a very fast choreography learner. Lettie can easily grasp a dance just by studying/watching the choreography twice if it's easy, 3-4 times if it's a little harder and 5 times if it's a difficult dance usually.

However, there is more than what meets the eye. Often people let their guard down and assume that what they see is the truth. Lettie has been in the media industry even before she was born and she’s been training longest out of all the girls. She’s met and interacted with quite a lot of celebrities by now. From this, she knows every nook and cranny there is in media and how to act in front of a camera. She knows exactly what fans want to see and what pleases them. To put it bluntly, it’s an act. It’s all an act, always has been to be honest. As soon as the cameras start rolling, her personality instinctively switches on. She turns into a lovable, 4D, beagle that is adored by everyone. Lettie entered the entertainment industry knowing what to expect. Be kind, be generous, be selfless. Be all that and you’ll be instantly liked. It’s all simple really, just act like you’re an innocent 7 year old. In reality, she’s cunning, sly and manipulative. Sure, there are times when her act drops but do you genuinely think that any normal person would actually volunteer to do another’s dishes pft.

Negative: However, there are some traits that she has strategically selected to display to the public. If there’s one word to describe Lettie, it’s loud. She. Doesn’t. Shut. Up. EVER! This girl honestly doesn't have a filter and moves until the end of time. On the rare occasion that she does shut , she’ll find other ways to deafen others. Whether it be screeching the lyrics to some trot song, blasting music through the speakers or just plain yelling. Not even real words! She just sits there yelling gibberish and no one ever questions her (everyone’s used to it by now). She will often say things straightforwardly without considering your feelings. And frankly, even if she does realise that she’s hurt you, she’ll pull the dumb blonde act; put on a bright smile and skip happily away. This kid is seriously the most headstrong person you will ever meet. Once her decision is made, she will not change it. Whether you like it or not, she’s made up her mind  and it’ll stay that way. Lettie is a loud, over-the-top, rambunctious girl who isn't afraid to voice her opinions or argue back. She never backs down from a challenge and hates losing, even if it's something stupid like who can lace up their shoes the quickest. Her solution to most problems is go to the practice room and dance until she feels better. But for real, does this chick ever SHUT UP?!

Neutral: Lettie is a perfectionist. She hates leaving things undone and once she starts something, it becomes her life mission to complete it. She practically radiates confidence and that becomes an advantage when she’s performing but many interpret her confidence as cockiness (after all, there's only a thin line separating the 2 characteristics). Lettie is always seen bouncing around or yelling obnoxiously. Her energy and bubbliness can be contagious and end up motivating people around her but sometimes, Lettie just doesn’t know her limits. It could be 2 am and she’d be clanging pots together yelling “I AIN’T GET NO SLEEP CUZ OF Y’ALL, SO Y’ALL NEVER GONNA SLEEP CUZ OF ME” just because she was bored. Her ability to lie and improvise on the spot is amazing. Lettie has long ago mastered the art of lying and how to keep her facial expressions neutral. She never loses her cool and remains calm even under stressful situations. Lettie knows how to respond to questions perfectly and how to act in front of a camera/audience. She never says the wrong thing and doesn’t get flustered. However, this also means that you can never tell whether or not she’s lying to you. Lettie is realistic and that helps her set goals but her bluntness can turn her tongue into a knife. Her sassy attitude is a humorous relief among the trainees but sometimes, Lettie doesn't understand boundaries and might end up hurting someone (not she she cares to be honest).
 

BACKGROUND: 

Lettie started dancing at the ripe age of 2, starting with ballet at 2 and later on went en pointe at 9. At 4 years old, she ventured into hip hop. Throughout her years at her dance studio, SM, Big Hit and 1MILLION, she has studied ballet, hip hop, contemporary, lyrical, freestyle, popping and b-girling. Lettie is also an accomplished choreographer. As of 2016, she's been dancing ballet for 16 years and hip hop for 14 years. Lettie is also an accomplished choreographer.

Lettie spent the early years of her childhood in New York. When the twins were 5 (in 2003), their parents decided to relocate to South Korea. After getting constantly bullied for their foreign looks and biracial ethnicity, the twins began homeschooling.

In 2012, Lettie and Vernon were street casted by both Pledis and SM on the subway. In the end, Vernon went with Pledis while Lettie attended the audition for SM as a dancer, performing a self-choreographed routine to iKON’s My Type. Subsequently, Lettie was accepted as a dance specializing trainee under SM Entertainment then joined the SM Rookies in June 2012.

At SM, the Lettie learnt how to rap since the trainers told her that her voice was better suited for rap. In early 2014, Lettie along with fellow trainees Seulgi, Irene, Wendy and Joy were all guaranteed a position in SM’s new girl group; Red Velvet. Lettie worked hard but it seems her efforts went to waste when the CEO announced one week before teaser releases that Lettie would be cut from Red Velvet’s final lineup. The teasers she pre-recorded, the photoshoots she took, her parts in Happiness, they were all removed. Ultimately, she left SM in June 2015 after spending exactly 3 years under their roof.

Even after she quit SM, Lettie still continued to dance and rap. She began to study hip-hop at 1MILLION Dance Studio. Then in December 2015, a Big Hit Entertainment representative was at the studio scouting for young trainees. He was guided to Lettie by the director of 1MILLION. She auditioned with a self-choreographed routine to Like a Boy and performed a self-written rap titled Hopeful about her past experiences with bullying at school for being bi-racial. Subsequently, Lettie was accepted as a dance and rap specializing trainee under Big Hit Entertainment in January 2016.

✩ Can't read maps - "what's that squiggly line?" "hold up, that's a road?!"
✩ Can't cook - no seriously, even if she's the only one in the dorms left, don't ask her to cook  for you unless you want to die from food poisoning. One time, she burnt ramen, the noodles disintergrated when the chopsticks touched it....

✩ Writing rap lyrics - even though some people think that writing rap and vocal lyrics are the same process, Lettie can only write good rap lyrics for some reason. Once, she tried writing a vocal verse and ended ranting about how much she loved cheese.

RELATIONSHIP : 

✩ Father - Choi Simon (47) / Visual Arts teacher / punny, warm, supportive / thinks he's the bomb whenever he makes puns *comes into the room holding a grater* - "I know it's cheesy but I feel grate" "Dad, get out". He is extremely supportive of all his kids and their decisions. One of those dad's that propose a random family camping trip out of nowhere. Then proceeds to try start sing-a-longs on the car ride there. Typical protective dad who 'accidently' shakes the hand of any guy, who's standing too close lettie for his liking, too firmly.

✩ Mother - Choi Natalie (45) / Artist / caring, hospitable, gentle / Natalie is a kind-hearted woman who only wants the best for her kids. Over-nourishes them and cares for Lettie a lot. This mother-daughter duo call everyday because it doesn't even matter if Lettie is 30, she will always be her momma's little girl. Natalie playfully scolds Vernon a lot for 'not looking out for his younger sister'. Her maiden name; 'Vernon' became her brother's middle and stage name.

✩ Older twin brother - Choi Hansol Vernon (18) / Idol; Seventeen / annoying, protective, loving / please keep these 2 siblings away from each other because their laughs together could cause an earthquake. Vernon and Lettie are extremely close, they tell each other everything and are very dependent on the other. The twins often like to pull pranks like 'telepathy' (aka texting each other a sentence to recite at the same time beforehand). They have petty fights over stupid things like the best bubblt tea flavour. Your typical older brother who will threaten any guy within a 3 meter radius of his sister. Strangely likes Taeyong though, claiming that someone so good looking couldn't possible have any ill intentions. Sibling goals tbh.

✩ Younger sister - Choi Hangyeol Sofia (13) / Middle school student / bubbly, hyper, bright / this little munchkin fully supports both her siblings are are extremely close to them (even with a 6 year ). Always seen giggling or jumping around. She looks up to Lettie and always says that she wants to be just like her when she grows up.

✩ Best friend - Kwon Hoshi (20) / Idol; Seventeen / funny, bright, diligent / as the sister of Vernon, being friends with the members of Seventeen was pretty much inevitable. Being a part of Seventeen’s 3-piece Gag Trio means that Hoshi is obviously hilarious and fun to be around but he is also very hardworking. Bonded over their mutual passion for dance whenver Lettie would visit Pledis late-night after her training at SM. Within the first 2 minutes of talking to this kid, Lettie would be doubled over, in pain from laughing too hard. As much as Hoshi can lift the mood of a room, he also knows when to work hard. Both idols used to stay up late together practicing and choreographing routines.

✩ Best friends - NCT + SM Rookies (14-22) / Idols and trainees / ranges from squishy bean who needs protection to a shameless talk show host / When Lettie was introduced into the SM Rookies in June 2015, she quickly befriended Johnny, Yuta, Taeyong, Seulgi, Irene and Wendy who were literally the only people in the class. Over the years as more trainees passed their auditions, Lettie welcomed more and more people into the family. Lettie’s dance ability made the trainers place her in class with the SR15B as opposed to the core classes that the girls were taking. She grew up in SM surrounded by people who she would call family in an instant. Over the years, they became her overprotective brothers and were all devastated when Lettie announced her leave from the company. While under Big Hit, Lettie would constantly miss sharing pizza with Jaehyun, or roasting Doyoung’s embarrassing Vroom Vroom Talk Show, or helping maknae Jisung with choreography. Closest to Jaehyung, Ten and Taeyong.

✩ Brothers from another mother - Seventeen (17-20) / Idols / ranges from grumpy grandpa to a literal ray of sunshine / These 13 boys are Lettie's main hoes tbh (well they've got to share her with SM Rookies but still). At first, the boys only looked out for her when Vernon wasn't around but eventually, they all grew fond of her and act like WW3 was happening if she simply tripped or something. Used to create a barrier and walk around her when they used to go out in public with her. But ever since the news that Big Hit are forming a girl group got out, Lettie hasn't left the building and has been practicing every minute she came. Hasn't seen each other in person since late 2015. 

✩ Sister from another mister - Kim Soeun (17) / Trainee / kind hearted, naive, sensitive / admittedly, Lettie only befriended Soeun so that she could learn the ropes at Big Hit. Soeun was an easy target and too nice for her own good so Lettie was able to manipulate her effortlessly. Gradually, the girls grew genuinely close with Soeun helping Lettie keep her patience under control and in return, Lettie trying to teach Soeun how to stick up for herself by roasting people. Even though Lettie is only 5 months older, she feels the need to protect her and is ready to FIGHT anyone whoe even looks at Soeun in a weird way. Lettie calls her 'Beethoven' since she has a knack for the piano.

✩ Mentor - Jung J-Hope (22) / Idol: BTS / kind, optimistic, passionate / his happy, sunshine, smiley personality made him very easy to get along with when Lettie first met him. He looks after juniors well and is a very genuine person. He loves goofing around and being crazy with Lettie. Much like with Hoshi and Taeyong, Lettie and J-hope bonded over dance and are often seen practicing or choreographing together. J-hope acts as her performance mentor and gives her lots of good advice like 'how to follow cameras', 'onstage spacing', 'facial expressions' etc.

✩ Rival - Jeon Jungkook (18) / Idol; BTS / competitive, dedicated, talented / it’s not as if they aren't at each other's throats 24/7 but there is an undeniable tension between these two whenever performance or skill is mentioned. Now, everyone knows how competitive the Golden Maknae can get, so naturally, when he overheard that trainers called Lettie Big Hit’s next ‘Golden Member', he set out to prove to everyone that she was definitely not on his level. At first it was nothing personal; just Kookie being competitive. But eventually, he viewed Lettie's constant but worthy​ counterattacks against his talents frustrating and deemed her his rival. They were competitive in everything; dancing, rapping, singing, grades, who can eat the pizza slice quicker, etc.
