#CHOI INHA #THE LEADER
Q&A : What's your Ideal type?
"Someone who has passion. Someone that, even if it's the stupidest goal in life, sees themselves being something in the future. I like men who are creative, and artstic; but, that often leads to men who are either crazy or extremely addicted to cheating."
Q&A : Who are you most attracted to in the house?
"Personality wise, I think Donghyuk is my type. He's a lot like my ex-boyfriend, oddly enough. But I'm attracted to Junho, his looks are [whistles] he's hot!"
Q&A : Do you believe in love at first sight?
"No, well, maybe. I think the concept is twisted. It's lust not love. I can see myself lusting after someone; but, not loving someone the instant I see them. That's...crazy."
Q&A : When was your last relationship?
"About four years ago; but, we still keep in touch. He was a huge part of my life and I love him dearly. I wish the best for him, and I know he feels the same for me."
PASSWORD. I think Junho would be an intersting match, so maybe them? They'd be the couple in that show that was put together for no reason. They'd seem like complete opposites (like John & Victoria in this last season). But I think they'd be cute together. That or Donghyuk; because, he'd be a lot like her ex-boyfriend.

[ FACE CLAIM ] : Soyu of Sistar
[ BACK UP ] : IU, Yura of Girl's Day, or Jiyeon of T-ara
[ ETHNICITY ] : Korean
[ APPEARANCE ] :
Inha paces in front of a standing mirror hooked to the hallway wall. Her hands flatten the collar of her shirt, and trail down to her skirt; before, she's glancing at herself. Hair first, it's always first. Brown locks (medium tone, nearly dark) with dark red ended tips that flare up to her shoulders and stop. No bangs, never bangs. She hates bangs, they don't work with her oval face shape. Her eyes, they're like cat eyes, or at least people say they do. They curve down in the corner, but are wide enough to show off her hazel irises. Minimal makeup, eyeliner and mascara to heighten the color and enlarge the eye as well. Lips, her top lip is nonexistent but so she applies lots of lipstick (usually bright tones of red or plum) to make her lips look fuller than what they are. Button nose, hidden ears with diamond earrings, and highlighted eyebrows.
She looks like a proper lady mixed with a disappointment. Her features are gentle and warm, inviting even; but, the way she presents herself makes you think otherwise. She stands at a good height with a slim weight. Although she doesn't look it, Inha tends to have tell-tale signs of stress. Wrinkles on her forehead covered up with BB cream and concealer. Chapped lips covered with two layers of lipstick and chapstick. Brusies that form in the oddest places of her legs. Behind her calf, on her knee, near her ankle. Her nails grow super long, to the point she cuts them every other day. She's at her best when she's stressed though. She works the hardest to get to the point where she doesn't have to. Cigarette smoke fills the room, coating the walls and the floors, despite the window being popped open. Inha smokes, often, it's a stress reliever. Her parents despise it, as do many of her friends. She doesn't care. Her breath smells like tobacco and half-eaten mints. She doesn't mind smoking in front of others. At home in her room, in her friends car, or at work. It doesn't matter.
"Inha, you look like a baby when you smoke." Her friends says as she tucks her hair into a high ponytail, showing of her small tattoo on her lower back between her shoulder bones but just below her neck. A flock of birds, flying upwards to her collar bone. She glares at the female; but, stops short as she doesn't want more wrinkles on her forehead than there already is. Her face consists of serious expressions and very firm opinions mixed with a daunting area of discomfort. Give her a cup of coffee (mixed with Vodka) and a good book, and you may see a small inkling of what could possibly be a smile. Unlikley to see her happiness, less likley to see her sadness, most likley to see anger.
[ STYLE ] :
Basic shirts slipped over a neutral colored bra. They never have any color to them. Usually grays, auburns, and browns. They cut off near the top of the arm, or they're long-sleeved. She doesn't like tank-tops; but, enjoys wearing graphic shirts. Plaid overlay shirts or green cardigans, even red. Doesn't matter the season, she likes wearing cardigans. She has a firm stance in always looking nice (though her version of nice tends to be conflicting) so you'll never catch her in pajamas or sweats. Even if her outfits tend to be weird (overalls, with beige heels, and red lipstick) she always seems to look beautiful and suave. Everyone tends to be surprised by her collectiveness despite being included with all the crazy.
Colors that seem dim, and washed out are her favorite colors for denims. To the point it looks like they belong from a newley opened expensive top-shop at the corner outer-mall. She's not one for attention; but, between her red dyed hair and choice of heels as everyday shoes, she does stand out quite often. There's a fashion rule that goes: you don't wear heels with shorts and denim. Inha has scratched that out and removed it from her brain as heels implant themselves into everything she wears. She even wears them around the house. Comfort in clothing doesn't exsist. Fashion equals pain.
Her main fashion statement (always and forever) is her cardigans.
[ TRIVIA ] :
DISLIKES. Cats, the color yellow, partying, being alone, ignorant people.
LIKES. Dogs, the color green, reading, traveling, being up to.
HABITS. Biting her nails, laughing when she's awkward, biting her lip.
SKILLS. Knows how to fish, is a super good swimmer.
OTHER. Is still 'sort-of' in love with her ex-boyfriend. Is considered the wild child of her family. Wishes to have a good job in the future. Is actually super friendly. Wants to have two or three kids in the future. Considers Romeo & Juliet a horrid excuse for romance. Often dyes the tips of her hair.

[ PERSONALITY ] :
Choi Inha explained by others who know/met her.
MOM. "My daughter? Ha, I wish I could tell you something nice about her but sadly my daughter only expels dissapointment and childness. Nothing ever good has come from that girl, and nothing ever will. She was supposed to be a docter, a medical surgeon; but, she turned that down to follow some band to America where she pursued a liberal arts degree. I don't know what she was thinking; but, there's a reason we don't speak anymore. That child does whatever she wants, no matter what the consequences are. I've tried to get her help; but, the only person who can truly get her out of her pit of despair and destruction, is herself. Though that'll never happen, as she's a maniac."
CLASSMATE #1. "Inha? Choi Inha? You say we went to high school together? [pause] hunh, strange. I don't really remember her. [pause] You say she was in my homeroom? That quiet girl? Oh yeah! , no wonder I never remember her. The girl never talked unless she had to. She used to have this face, it looked like she was glaring at people all the time. Resting Face is what other's used to call it. I heard she mauled some girl during Junior year in the girl's bathroom for looking at her the wrong way. Crazy Choi. That's what people used to call her. Never saw that part of her in class though. In class she was quiet and never paid attention to the teacher. was funny when she fell asleep."
BABY SISTER. "Inha? We haven't been on good terms since she left. Before, we were really close. While our parents worked, she became a mother figure to me. I loved her dearly; but, suddenly, she just picked up and left. I asked mom, and she said Inha left to follow some guy and his band. How could she do that? She was my only person. After becoming back I'm unsure of our relationship. She wants to go back to how we used to be; but, just like she is, I'm very unforgiving. I can hold grudges just as long as she can."
CLASSMATE #2. "Ugh, Inha? That crazy b***h, can't freaking stand her. She'd always act so sweet and kind to those in higher positions of her; but, when it came to me, she treated me like . She f*****g slapped me because I asked her a question about her family. She's so jumpy about everything and attacks people for the littlest things. I asked her about her stupid sister and she flung her hand and slapped me. Who the hell does that?"
DAD. "I-I don't know what to say. Inha and I talk, mainly phone calls; but, after causing such havoc within our family, I haven't seen her in person for nearly five years. She's just a kid going through her rebillious stage. There's nothing much I can do about it, nor her mother. Much of it was due to her mother's overbearing personality causing Inha to believe things about herself that isn't quite true. I know she's insecure about herself because of what her mother's said. I feel bad for my daughter. Many have misconceptions about her because of what happened. My daughter is a good person; she's just misunderstood."
EX-BOYFRIEND. "Inha was distant, in our relationship. Of course she grew-up with conservative parents that held her back. She wasn't clingly, nor did she ever initiate romantic gestures. She was very standoffish. If she's going on this show for 'love' I feel bad for the guy that's stuck with her. Cause' he'll be getting nothing. Not even a kiss. The guy's gotta be super outgoing and one to take the lead in romance, or else they'll get nowhere. Trust me."
FRIEND. "Inha, she's...complicated. If you don't make an effort to get to know her, you'll just believe that she's kind and almost motherly. But if you dig a little deeper, you'll start to realize that she's not like that. She's angry and sad; but, she hides it well with faux-kindness. Even if you think you know her well, you don't. She's a facade, always and forever. Good luck getting to know her; because, I'm still trying my best and it's been ten years."
[ BACKGROUND ] :
LATE WINTER 1992. A supposed doctor was born to two incredibly rich parents. The minute Inha's mother laid eyes on her, she became the 'soon-to-be' doctor extradonaire that the family has never had. No matter how Inha lived her life, her mother was going to force her to pursue her dreams instead of Inha's own. And no matter what her father said, about containing the enthusiam of career, her mother would push and push.
JUNE 2010. Inha had gone through life following her mother's strict rules. She studied hard, got good grades; but, often got in trouble for stupid things like slapping a girl across the face. Oops. Had a concert for some underground hip-hop artist, Inha met her first ever boyfriend. Gunwoo, the lead rapper of his band that was going to tour America (which actually turned out to just be California) with some hip manager. Inha fell in love at first sight, though concealed it well. Without telling her parents, or her baby sister, she left with him, his band, and her best friend.
OCTOBER 2015. The 'following her boyfriend's band around California' wasn't as great as she thought it would be. She attended a local community college (struggling with her poor english) before breaking up with him in early 2013, and finishing her degree before coming back to South Korea. Her mother wouldn't allow her to move back into the house, so she and her best friend (who had gone with her but left two years earlier) found an apartment to rent in downtown Jeju City. It's not the best living conditions; but, it's enough.
[ CURRENTLY ] :
WORK. As of four months ago, Inha works as a magazine editor for Korea's Cosmo Men. Her salary is well, and she has good health benefits and a good 401k; but, it's not what she wants to do. She would like to own a cafe in her hometown, or a sushi bar. (She's still unsure.) She get's along with her co-workers; but, most of them tend to find her quiet and arrogant at some points. She likes her boss, and she likes her desk. There's a food truck down the street that she eats at, and it's not too far from her house. Thankfully.
DAILY LIFE. Inha has to wake-up at five in the morning Monday through Friday where she eats a quick breakfast before getting ready and heading out. She and her roommate (aka her best friend) don't interact much as their schedules are conflicting. On the weekends she spends most of her time lounging about and eating different food. She'll talk to her father on the phone every-other-day, and tries to meet up with her reluctant sister.
[ FAMILY ] :
MOM. CHOI UMHWA. 45.
There's nothing much to their relationship other than extreme dislike. They haven't talked since she came back to Korea. Her mother has extremely horrid opinions about her as does Inha about her. They don't speak for a good reason, and Inha doesn't mind not having a relationship with her.
DAD. DANIEL CHOI. 50.

DAD. DANIEL CHOI. 50.
Their relationship is better than with her mom. He cares about her and sends money to her once in a while and has given her permission to meet with her sister even when she doesn't want to. Although he's quite, she loves him very much.
SISTER. CHOI EUNHA. 19
SISTER. CHOI EUNHA. 19
Inha loves her sister very much, and for most of her life took care of Eunha. Sadly, after leaving with Gunwoo and his band, her sister and her haven't been on good terms. After coming back to Korea, she's been wishing for a stronger relationship but Eunha refuses to get hurt again.
EX-BOYFRIEND. LEE GUNWOO. 25.
Inha was very much in love with Gunwoo, and fell head over heels for him to the point she followed him to America. It was a very slow and sort of non-exsistent relationship. While he wanted to have many romantic moments (mainly ) Inha didn't initiate it much as she felt uncomfortable about romance as a whole. They ended up breaking up, and after getting her degree Inha came back to Korea. The last time she saw him was when she was leaving.
