Appearance: 
 ☿ Humanity ☿ Her eyes are a dark brown color to match her hair when she's in her human form. Although her natural hair color is a dark bronw that looks black, both her hair and her eyes change color in her demon form. When an incubus or a succubus mothers/fathers a child of the same species she/he passes down a birthmark of sorts that looks like a tattoo. For Jaehwa and her father this is a medium sized crescent moon on the back of their neck. Her nails are naturally stronger than a normal humans and look similar to pointed acrylics in both color (black) and shape.

 ☿ Transformation ☿ Her demon form is similar to that of her human form in the sense that her body is still mostly human with only a few additions in appendages and changes in clothing. For one, her transformation brings on a set of horns that curl around from the top of her head around behind her ears to poke outwards from underneath them (ex) similar to ram horns (ex). They are mostly made up of burgundy scales with one band of silver scales towards the top of her ears. She also has a pair of wings that sprout from mid back and look similar to bat wings (ex). They are rather large and have a wingspan of about 18 feet (9ft per side) when spread out all the way (ex). When folded behind her back the ends of her wings just barely miss touching the floor by about 4 inches. They are also silver. The last appendage she has in her demon form but not in her human form is a scaly tail. Similar to a lizard's tail, it starts at the base of her spine and curves down to a spade-like point. It is around 6 feet long and drags behind her or curls upwards depending on her mood. The scales of her tail are also burgundy with a ring of silver down towards the spade tip that looks like it separates the spade from the rest of the tail. The state of her tail and her wings can give away her mood similar to how a dog's tail and ears do. Her already pointed and long black nails elongate further when she's in her demon form along with her canine teeth. Her eyes turn silver along with the tips of her hair.

Style: 

 ☿ Normal Dress ☿ Naturally, the succubus gravitates towards complex lingire and clothing on the ier side of things. Unfortunately, these types of clothing are not really common in public on the streets of most asian countries. Where she is drawn to clothing that accentuates her body, culture dictates cuter clothing as the more suitable option. Because of this she has to find a balance between both. In order to confine to standards set by society - something she already struggles with being a succubus - she wears clothing that is on the cuter side but in a way that makes it look y on her. She still wears lingierie, however, and tends to walk around in such when she's alone. She will wear short dresses, sheer stockings, boots,  shorts, loose fitting shirts, and sweaters.

 ☿ Natural Form ☿ When she transforms into her natural succubus form, her clothing changes into a skimpy armor of sorts in the shape of lingerie (but it covers more). If, for whatever reason, she would need to dress somewhat formally - like a meeting between the demons in their natural forms - she would wear a special short kimono that allows for her wings to sprout freely and unconfined behind her.

Personality: 

Background: 

 ☿ Born in a foreign land ☿ 

Conception: Her mother - Bae Jina - was impregnated by a Japanese male succubus - known as an incubus - while in her hometown in Korea. After being seduced by the man and becoming pregnant she was shunned by her family. She fled to Japan to have her child and eventually became a e. After giving birth to Jaehwa, Jina felt relieved she hadn't had a boy. Jina didn't know about his identity as a supernatural creature so she didn't need to worry about her daughter inheriting his genes - unfortunately, Jaehwa did. Jaehwa grew up in a harsh world. At a young age she followed her mother to work and learned of her mother's exploits. The two lived in one room with a bathroom attached in the slums just outside Kamishichiken - one of the high status Geisha districts known as a "flower town" where the Geisha were frequented by powerful businessmen and politicians. From the moment Jinhwa was born, Jina hoped her child would not take on the same undignified path as her. Unfortunatly, as she had no father there weren't many respectible options for Jaehwa.

0-14 years old :  One day together out about in town, Jina and Jaehwa witnessed the beauty of a Geisha in person. After hearing her daughter remark about how beatiful the woman was, Jina decided to to try to get her daughter to become one as well. To Jina, becoming a geisha would be the best way to make sure her daughter was independent. Jaehwa was five at the time. From then on, Jina worked to get Jaehwa ready to become an apprentice Geisha known as a Maiko. She saved up money for her daughter's entrance fee into the okiya - geisha house. Jina drilled her daughter about what it meant to be a proper lady and constantly steered her away from doing things she considered improper. Unfortunately, this drove a sort of wedge in their relationship. When Jina was working, Jaehwa often visited the main city to watch the geisha. When she was seven years old, Jaehwa accidentally ran into a geisha - Rena - who immediately took a liking to Jaehwa. After the young girl remarked about how beautiful the geisha was, Rena asked her if she wanted to be one as well. When Jaehwa nodded enthusiastically, Rena told her that if she did a few tasks for her she could become her apprentice. Since their first meeting, Jaehwa returned to the city every week to do whatever it was that Rena asked her - generally small tasks like delivering small packages - until she became of age to train. 

Strange Symptoms:  Sometime when Jaehwa was around 12 years old she started pdeveloping her succubus form. This occured simultaneously with puberty. Whenever she would go to her mother and try to confide in her, Jina would shove it off as her just going through puberty. She began to grow her wings and her horns around this time but they stayed rather small and only appeared when she was around people or places where the feeling of lust was strong. This means geisha houses and her mother's work. Her transformation first occurred when she snuck over to her mother's work to take her lunch as a surprise but she was with a client. After overhearing what was happening Jaehwa transformed for the first time. Luckily enough for her, these incidents never happened in public. As she got older and began running more errands for Rena, the older woman had her practice meditation - something Jaehwa found odd but didn't question. The young succubus soon realized that the meditation seemed to be helping to control the outbursts so she continued the practice.

 ☿ Becoming a Geisha ☿

15-20 years old: The standard age for a Kyoto resident to become a Geisha in training was fifteen years old. It was on her fifteenth birthday that Jaehwa was taken by her mother to the Kamishichiken geisha house. It was with a smile that Jina gave away her daughter to become a Geisha. They parted ways happily as all Jina ever wanted was for her daughter to become more than she was and all Jaehwa ever strived for was to become like that beautiful woman she saw that day in town. She became a maiko the day she joined and was bound under a contract to her geisha house. She was supplied with food, board, kimono, obi, and other tools needed. As geisha training was expensive, Jaehwa was in debt to her house until she could repay everything with her own winnings. In the beginning, her formal training tarted with learning by watching during ozashiki - banquets in any traditional Japanese building with tatami - under the subtitle of minarai. After Jaehwa joined as an apprentice, Rena immediately took her on to train. This meant the younger would shadow Rena during events. Jaehwa would sit and observe as the other maiko and geisha interact with customers. This allowed her to gain insights to the job and seek out potential clients. Minarai do to participate at an advanced level, meaning they do not talk.

Her first Ozashiki: Although minarai regularly are uninvited yet welcome at ozashiki their higher ups attend, Jaehwa immediately caught the attention of the apprentice of a high ranking businessman. His name was Namekawa, Yasuo and he basically fell for her immediately. After seeing her the first time, he began hiring her for the parties he attended. As a fledgeling, she only made one third of the wage for typical for a geisha but she was thrilled that she already had an admirer. When not at his parties, she was a guest at the same tea house, learning from the proprietress of the house. Under her she learned necessary techniques such as conversation. It was shortly after her first ozashiki that her dream powers began to surface. She didn't really realize it at the time but she had been basically tormenting Yasuo. Where she thought she was merely dreaming about him in a ual way she was actually projecting her desires into his dreams. They began to escalate the more often he visited her. 

Officially a Maiko: Jaehwa studied with her for about a month before officially becoming a maiko for the next five years of her life. During this period of her life she learns from the senior maiko and geisha mentors. The geisha she learned most of her skills from was Rena - her senior in the industry - whom mentored her for the whole five years. Rena adored Jaehwa and taught her the proper tea serving methods, how to play the shamisen, how to dance, causal conversation, etc. Jaehwa was taught formal arts training in a special geisha school where she met her rival at the time Takami. Entertainment training was primarily learned through parties at tea houses and observing her onee-san (seniors in the industry) - especially Rena. Jaehwa developed the social skill of navigating the geisha district's complex social web. This was done in the streets via formal greetings, gifts, visits, etc to build the support network needed to make a living as a geisha. In this phase of her training Jaehwa was adorned with a scarlet fringed collar on her kimono that hands low in the back to accentuate the nape of the neck, white makeup on her face and her nape with three stripes of bare skin exposed, a bright and colorful kimono, an elaborately tied obi that hangs to her ankles, and traditional wooden shoes approximately ten centimeters high. The hairstyle she wore changed throughout the phases of her apprenticeship, but she generally wore the nihongami style with gold plated kanzashi - hair ornaments - gifted to her by Rena. 

Debut: On her 20th birthday, Jaehwa was allowed to debut. She was promoted to full-fledged geisha status. As a geisha, Jaehwa gracefully flirts with her guests but always remains in control of how the relationship goes. She becomes one of the top hostesses. This is where her succubus powers really began to develop. She didn't realize anything was happening until Yasuo himself pulled her aside the first night she was an official geisha in his presence and told her how attracted he was to her and about the dreams. She began pieceing two and two together at this point. She lost her ity to him that same day. It was also around this time when her ability to induce and control someone's lust began to arise but she didn't notice it as such was a quality of the geisha. She began spending more and more of her time around men - it was her job afterall - and matured because of it. No matter how many men she entertained she never slept with any of them except for Yasuo who visited her regularly and was her most frequent customer. 

Stalker: As a succubus and a geisha, Jaehwa attracted a lot of attention from men. One man in particular wouldn't give up despite her lack of extreme interest in him. He was Yasuo's rival at the same company and fell for Jaehwa's charms immediately but where Yasuo was in love with Jaehwa his coworker merely lusted after her. His obsession became more and more intense at time passed. Within the next three years, Yasuo and Jaehwa both fell even harder for each other to the point where the former wanted nothing more than to take her away from the Geisha house and have her all to himself so other men couldn't oggle at her. He told her this one day, three years after her debut (Jaehwa's 23rd birthday), saying that once he makes enough money he'll take her far away from all of her troubles and the two of them can live happily in the mountains. Jaehwa was extremely pleased by Yasuo's proposal and agreed whole heartedly. He left that evening in good spirits. Unfortunately their happiness didn't last long. Neither of them knew it but the geisha most jealous of Jaehwa - Takami - had been listening and decided to tell Rena. When Rena had no negative response to the news that Jaehwa was leaving with Yasuo, Takami was pissed. After being overshadowed by the younger woman all of her career, Takami couldn't stand that she would all of a sudden leave on a whim because of a single man. Knowing about Yasuo's work rival and his intense infatuation with Jaehwa, Takami visited him and told him about how Yasuo was going to run away with Jaehwa. In a fit of rage the man goes to Yasuo and confronts him about it. Unable to see why he shouldn't tell his coworker and friend about his leaving the company, Yasuo readily told him that what he heard was true. In a fit of rage, his coworker attacked Yasuo and killed him. The same night immediately after killing Yasuo, he left and went to the Geisha house. He presented Jaehwa with a ring she had given Yasuo and told her that since Yasuo was out of the picture the two of them could be together and that if she didn't agree he'd kill her. She was so afraid and scared and upset at this point that she ran away in tears, locking herself in her room to cry. She fell asleep like this but woke up about an hour to the sound of screaming. When she threw her doors open she could see the Geisha house and all connected compounds had been set on fire. Frozen on the spot, she watched as her fellow geisha ran frantically around her in an attempt to save anything and everything they could.

 ☿ Time to leave ☿ 

Friends: Rena was the one that snapped Jaehwa out of her trance, pulling the younger geisha out of the fire that almost consumed her. Jaehwa fainted soon afterwards, the last image in her mind that of Rena with a broad pair of wings on her back and horns on her head. She woke up the next day with a broken sob, realizing that she was no longer in the geisha compound. She was hit full force with the reality that all she had worked for was gone and that the man she loved wouldn't be there to take her away from her sorrow like he promised. Rena attempted to comfort her but the older woman knew there was nothing that could sooth her wounds. Instead she watched and waited, taking care of the younger woman until she was strong enough to listen to what she had to say. It was a few days after the fire that devestated their home that Rena told Jaehwa about everything that happened. She revealed that day that she too was a succubus and that she knew the moment she met Jaehwa that she was one too. From their first meeting Rena had made sure to take care of her and help her along as much as possible. Rena stated that she needed to flee that part of Japan because it was possible that her succubus form had been seen and that Jaehwa should tag along with her in order to develop her powers in a safe way. With nothing better to do and nowhere better to go, Jaehwa agreed.

Moving: For the next ten years, the two succubi traveled together across Japan. During these years, Rena taught Jaehwa how to control her powers and use them to her advantage without hurting people. She taught her all she knows about how succubi function including the fact that if Jaehwa were to ever stop feeding, she would eventually age and die as if she was human. Despite her newly found hatred for men, Jaehwa did not want to die so she had to keep interacting with humans. The two women worked as traveling saleswomen during this time period.  After being with Rena for so long, Jaehwa had decided that she'd be okay with her life if it meant getting to stay with Rena - the only person she trusted that was still alive. Unfortunately, disaster struck again.

Family: While traveling up Japan the pair met a man who asked to join their travels until they reached the next big city. This man introduced himself as Uchida, Sousuke. Jaehwa was immediately skeptical of his appearance and his background story ("I got lost haha") but Rena was quick to welcome him in. Though Jaehwa knew it was Rena's facade to play the friendly one around men, she was still upset - something about Sousuke made her feel extremely uncomfortable and unsettled. Though he was quite charismatic himself, Jaehwa couldn't shake the odd feeling Sousuke was giving her. When they reached the city he stayed with the pair the first night. Late one night he snuck into Jaehwa's room and woke her up, asking her to run away with him. Shocked and confused, Jaehwa refused but that's when Sousuke revealed that he was her father. She refused to believe him at first until he showed her his birthmark - the same one she had. Feeling sick to her stomach, she jumped up to her feet and scrambled to Rena's room. When she got there Rena was dead - killed by her father - who said she was in the way of all they could do together.

 ☿ Nothing left to live for ☿ 

Fleeing: She freaked out on her father and full out attacked him. Although her father had much more experience, he wasn't expecting such a reaction from his daughter and was caught offguard. Jaehwa knocked him out in a fit of rage and fled. Afraid of the lengths her "father" would go to find her, Jaehwa got on a boat to wherever she could and ended up in China. Here she worked in various tea housse as an "exotic" worker - i.e. woman of another races. She'd move around every five or so years in order to avoid suspicion - as she doesn't age like humans - before finally leaving China in 1921 as the Communist party was established. She moved back to Korea at this point - down to her hometown in Jeju - where she lived out the rest of her days praying on otherwise unsuspecting men until she was sick of living.  

Giving In: Sick of her life seducing men, Jaehwa decided to give up and turn to the Exact labs after a man she tried to seduce talked her into it (he had drugged her after seeing her leave with a different man every night at the bar and began to suspect her as being a supernatural creature). She gave up willingly to them, no longer having a strong enough will to keep going without anyone there to really love her. At this point she was 251 years old. Her loneliness got the better of her and she began to regret it while she was experimented on. She was the first and only succubus/inccubus the labs ever had so the experimentation started out rather mild but escalated quickly once they realized how much she could take. the contactof the guards/experimenting people was enough to keep her satiated.

Present: 

 ☿  Overall, Jaehwa became more negative as she grew older. Though she still has a few dreams (i.e. falling in love with someone and being safe), her personality was molded off of her rather upsetting past. she's all but lost faith in men,seeing them mostly as walking beings who care about nothing more than . she doesn't have the best view of women either, seeing her own gender as greedy. It was her negative outlook on humanity that led her to join the project willingly. Unfortunately, her view on people only got worse. She didn't expect to be manhandled and abused. In the beginning the experimentation wasn't too bad but it escalated.

 ☿  Despite the experimentation, Jaehwa doesn't seem to have any obvious physical symptoms of abuse. When she transforms into her natural form, however, there are some odd looking patterns of scales on her wings. To most people it just looks natural but to other succubi/inccubi it is scarring. The scales here are sensitive to touch and are some of her weak spots. A lot of the other experimentation was focused on her mental abilities and illusions. They more often then not  experimented with her mind by doping her up and attempting to activate the nerves in her brain that control her powers. After they started with the physical experimentation, Jaehwa tried to get away.

 ☿  After her failed attempt they locked her up more by  chaining her to a surgeon's table of sorts with oppenings that allow for the researchers to do whatever they need. She was in the labs for a total of six years. This is how she is when she finally escapes. After escaping it was hard for her to learn to interact with people again. She still prefers being alone though she knows she can't be alone and survive (because of her need to feed off of lust). After getting out of the facility it was hard for her to control her powers again after not being in control for so long. She has some issues with substance abuse after breaking out (because they basically got her addicted on drugs) so she overcompensates by feeding.

Family: 

 ☿ mother | Bae, Jina | dead | human | cynical, demanding, obsessive ☿ 

+ / Despite having a rough early life, Jaehwa appreciated her mother's early efforts to provide for her. Although Jina worked as a e, her daughter never looked down on her for it. Even when her mother was on her death bed, Jaehwa respected her above all else. She never stopped appreciating her mother for her strength despite their falling out.
- / Jina raised Jaehwa for the first fifteen years of her life but really didn't do anything more than put make money for the both of them and help Jaehwa join the geisha. Jaehwa was required to run all errands for her mother and make meals from a young age. They didn't have a very mother-daughter relationship .

 ☿ father | Uchida, Sousuke | 579 | incubus | haughty, seductive, sly ☿ 

+ / Sousuke tries to convince his daughter to leave the group and join him to go around and mess with the humans. His charisma almost wins her over but in the end she's too annoyed by how he leaves women pregnant and alone like he did with her mother.
- / Jaehwa's dad is very playboy like. He uses his charms on everything that moves including Jaehwa and her comrades which disgusts her. It's his inhumane nature that makes her resent him. Jaehwa also resents him because of his role in killing Rena

Friends: 

 ☿  "onee-san"/senior geisha | Tanaka Rena | 230/dead | succubus | classy, charming, calm ☿ 

Rena was her senior in the Geisha house before she died. She was nothing but good to the younger succubus not only because she knew about what Jaehwa was going through but also because Jaehwa was basically the daughter she never had. Rena taught Jaehwa everything she knows about being a lady and a succubus.

Oh, the moment we become one; we'll be the lucky ones 

First Meeting:  

 ☿ The first time they met was during their escape from the labs. Minseok was helping to make sure all of the others were getting out okay. Jaehwa was having some issues moving after being tied down for so long that Minseok had to basically drag her out. The first time he touched her, a jolt sent through both of them. It had been so long since Jaehwa had been touched by someone in a non-threatening or harmful way. For Minseok it was similar to a small electric shock that had him stop in his tracks - a side effect of bottling up a succubus' lust - but he fell for her immediately without knowing what she was or who she was.

Relationship: 

 ☿ In the beginning Jaehwa is trying desperately to interact as little as possible with the rest of the escapees - she is both afraid of her own bottled up power and sick of people in general. Minseok is one of the only people who actively tries to rehabilitate her. She likes to isolate herself and snaps at people who try to get her to interact with others but she feels comfortable in Minseok's presence and doesn't get as mad at him. Eventually their relationship gets more intense when he finds out that she has been out to feed on random humans. He gets "upset" at her but is more jealous and scared for her safety because of the torture she's been through. He tells her to stop and she gets upset at him. Within the same argument the two of them end up getting heated and end up sleeping together. Minseok tells her afterwards "use me whenever you need me" - telling her to feed off of him and him only from that moment onward. She doesn't fight the idea because it allows her to not have to go outside and interact with random people as much.

 ☿ Other people don't find it too odd but some don't understand why Minseok settles with just being with her in the beginning when their relationship seems to be just about lust. Jaehwa is okay with their relationship but doesn't trust him right away. In retrospect, Minseok tries his best to accomidate for Jaehwa's insecurities and issues by giving her just enough space He tries his best to be her security blanket even though he knows she doesn't trust him at first. They fight periodically because of how Minseok  already trusts her fullly and how Jaehwa can't wrap her head around the idea of him being so understanding. She gets upset with how much he cares in the beginning and she gets upset sometimes when he's being possessive. Eventually she learns that she can trust everything with him.

Conclusion: 

 ☿ Minseok and Jaehwa are basically in a friends with benefits relationship that turns into a real relationship. Jaehwa learns to trust Minseok fully after all they have been through with the other experiments. Jaehwa and Minseok establish that they both only want to be with each other - that they love each other. After this is established (before the endof the fic) something big happens in the plot (totally up to you and your plot). In the end Jaehwa gets what she's wanted her whole life and Minseok as well - someone who loves them deeply and who they can trust fully with everything and anything without having to worry. In the very end the two of them move away from society and out to the mountains where they can be alone and comfortable together but where their friends can also visit once in a while.

You can call me monster; I'll be your lucky one
