PERSONALITY TRAITS — 
Almi is a free spirit. An extroverted bundle of energy, gifted and utterly irrepressible. She is generous, self sufficient, confident, original and very adaptable.
Almi has tumultuous temperaments and incredibly honest. Is a bossy, dominating and authoritative being. She can be hopelessly tactless and insensitive.
 
ELABORATION —

• The key to her personality is that she is a free spirited. Conformation is her curse. Rules and regulations are made for other people. Almi must be free and uninhibited. An extroverted bundle of energy, gifted and utterly irrepressible. Her behavior is natural and isn't meant for show. Her originality is the most impressive and outstanding of all her characteristics. She is quite imaginative and always able to see outside of the box. She is very adaptable and works hard, but would rather gives orders than receive them. Still there's exception, she does listen to someone who deserves and have the right to give orders as she perceived. 

Because she is confident, she is normally fearless in the face of challenge, so brave that standing beside her banishes fear. Almi generates excitement and turn heads anywhere she goes. However, too much enthusiasm can leave her tired and unfulfilled. Even though she is willing to aid when necessary, her pride can often impede her from accepting the kind helps from others.  She hates solicited advice and can be hopelessly tactless and insensitive. Add to that her temper.. many people will want to run when her temper is provoked, to be honest. 

On the other hand, she has a generous personality that give her the ability to attract friends, although she can be rather solitary person at heart. Due to her tumultuous temperaments, she is not the most sensitive friend to those in need of a shoulder to cry on. But deeper look Almi is a loving soul who will become your best ally in times of need. Once she has given her friendship, she will not let her friends down and will never dissapoint them. To her, a friend is a friend for a lifetime. Incredibly honest, she is known for sincerity and is a trusting soul. Because of this honesty, she doesn't realize others may not demonstrate or uphold the same codes of ethics. 

As a conclusion, Almi presents herself with a quite unapproachable look. That may be the case when we’re talking about strangers being around her. When she is with her close friends also the members however, it turns out that she is not entirely cold. She adores affection from the others, and is unbelievably cute and childish at times when expressing her sentiments, trying to kiss her members or hugging them from back. She maybe one of the charismatic member or someone who gives command, but in the end she's still a 19 years old girl with much more sealed for her future.

BACKGROUND —

• Crying on top of her lung on May 15th, 1997. That was the first time the world heard of Almi Ulrich. She was born in Seoul, of Korean descent through her mother's side, and through her father's side, who was in the U.S. Armed Forces in Korea, she is of German and Italian descent. That's explain why her look and appearance is still halved of a Korean, she is indeed half Korean. Born with a silver sppon in mouth, the little baby she was, gotten limitless loves and affections.

As a young child, she had never seen herself as any different from other kids, she was too young to understand that she was a mixed child, though she learned about that as she grew up. She moved to Texas at the age of 6 and stayed there for 9 years. Life in Texas was hard at first, she missed the place she thought home which is far away in South Korea. She learned to talk in English from her parent, as well as receiving home tutor, she figured out her family is where home at. 

Rather than being a dancer or singer, she was inspired to be a rapper when she was younger. This we need to blame Eminim's influence, or more like her father's, her father is a fan of Eminem and he ended up influence his little child by accident. She had listen to his rap even before the family moved to Texas. She got scouted by a child modeling agency at a tender age of 12. From there, she had modelled for children clothes, her face featured in the children section in some malls there.

The family had been staying in army units all the while, she made friends with kids of the same parent like hers, the soldiers' children. She often went to the Texas Music Centre with her friends, It is a place where teenage bands and even dancing groups do performances, especially during weekends. It is a small stage for the Texas youngsters who inspired to be a performer. She didn't get the chance to perform there, but she had kept a promise to herself that she is going to perform on a big stage, one day. The family went back to Korea after her father's retirement in late 2011.

TRAINEE LIFE —
Her mother's friend was the key connection between Almi and her joining into PLEDIS, she heard about PLEDIS audition through her friend who work there as a composer. Know well enough that Almi is a good rapper, also for her age, she suggested that Almi auditioned and joined the company, she did that with flying color when she was 15. 

Her rapping is well praised by many, and this is no secret. However, there seems to be a slight misconception, or so. Her rapping is not that phenomenal at first; it’s her charisma and attitude that are so readily apparent that make her rapping so good yet she did improved as one of the best now. She has a very pleasant, deeper tone, a steady flow and real rapping consistency at a range of different speeds.

Socially, she didn't have many friends in the company, except for the few that was mentioned and some of the girls in SEVENTEEN. Her personality is sometimes unlikable, since she's  a bit of a strong character, many people think of her as b*tch. at heart, she is just a young with who eager to be on the top and too ambitious.
