Bio

About Gaia

PERSONALITY TRAITS: In touch with nature, dreamer at heart, cold, tempermental, stubborn,sarcastic, respectful, sensitive, talkative and child-like only around super close friends
PERSONALITY:

"You think ya' flow sick, but my flow mo' sicka'."

   My personality to the outside world, or to people who don't know me that well, is quiet, reserved, and calculating. A lot of people believe I have resting face syndrome and that I'm cold hearted. In reality, I'm actually anxious and introverted. My ultimate defense mechanism is this "cold" hard shell to tell the world that they can't phase me if they try to hurt me. But really, I'm caring, protective, head-strong, ambitious, and big-hearted. I love children and I have a very childish giggle as a laugh. I believe in karma, that everything happens for a reason. I'm loyal to the point where it's cring-worthy, my respect and manners have no boundaries as I am always greatful, and I can be a total sap to the ones I love. Secret romantic at heart, but no one knows that^^

   When I'm upset or mad, I'm vicious with a venom-tongue and I usually can't control my mouth. In arguments I'll use every fact I have to prove how wrong you are and how disgraceful that is. Just like my friends say that I always have the funniest 'one-liners' at the end of someone else's joke, I also have sarcastic remarks I make every now or then, usually to be funny.

   However, along with my sarcastic humor and corny jokes, I have other positive traits. When alone or with people I'm comfortable with, you can see me sending hilarious snapchats to my friends of dramatic lip-syncing to songs. I shower and take soothing bubble baths at night, and when I get out I leave my hair in a wet towel and you can catch me sliding across the floor blaring loud music and dancing like no-jams-Jimin. That's another thing. Loud music. I will always have the radio or the songs on my phone turned up high and more than likely you can hear it down the hallway.

   Since I'm originally a studio mixer/lyricist I rather be behind the scenes, in the studio, making creations for the world to fall in love with. As a performer I would definitely be a rapper and if I were to have a music video my style and my setting would be like "Ssenunni" by Jessi. I secretly always had this dream of having a cameo in a music video where I do something ridiculous like kick over a bookshelf in a library or something controversial that screams my 'badass-ery'.

TRAINEE BACKGROUND: 

   Gaia never had or found an 'easy' road to the trainee life. She had to audition multiple times to be considered, and even then her manager/boss told her she needs to prove there's a reason why she's at a company. Gaia is a native English speaker, so she struggles with Korean at times and is usually more comfortable with Mandarin, and would like to make friends who knows those 3 languages as well. She took a lot of criticism to heart and she's had a number of private panic and anxiety attacks, fearing that if someone in the company knew they would deem her unstable for the life as an idol. Gaia is a rapper, but a true 'artist' at heart. She has special permission to step into studio booths every so often and watch studio producers create songs. She adores it and if she ever debuts in an idol group, she would like to help produce their albums and write lyrics. Dancing can be difficult for her at times, but she truly enjoys learning it and appreciates it as a true form of art and expression.

TRIVIA:

✩ Took Latin for 3 years in high school
✩ Has always wanted to be a doctor
✩ Was in winter guard and marching band throughout high school
✩ In said marching band, she became section leader for guard and led up to being drum major for the entire marching band
✩ Has an obsession with Dr. Pepper and will tell you often if a song comes on and how she previously learned how to play that with her saxophone

RELATIONSHIPS: (includes friends from diff companies or solo artists in the ent. industry)

✩ Best Friend - Rap Monster (21) / Leader and Main Rapper in Bangtan Sonyeondan or Bangtan Boys (BTS) / respectful, likes to break stereotypes, silly, and warm-hearted / he is the shoulder for Gaia to lean on and helps her with rapping and self-confidence/ Gaia loves calling Rap Monster her 'oppa' because he's like a brother to her, and he calls her G.G. They try to meetup whenever possible and she usually just ends up in Bangtan's apartment hanging out

✩ Mentor - Jay Park (29) / Solo Rapper and CEO of hip-hop label AOMG / very americanized, flirtatious, and cocky / Gaia looks up to him and whenever he is around she tries her hardest to impress him/ they're friends, but because of age-difference their relationship is more teacher-student. He heard by rumors that a talented and promising female is trying to be a trainee and he listened to all her auditions, he heard her potential talent and decided to seek friendship while give private lessons on the side, unknown to Gaia's company because he secretly wants to have her switch to AOMG

✩ Friend - Park Seong Yeon (23) / Trainee / cold, protective, motherly / Gaia looks up to her as a role model and is one of the few that accepts Yeon and doesn't judge her/ Gaia willingly calls Yeon 'unnie' and they're within the same entertainment company 

✩ Friend - Winny (Seulyi) (19) / Trainee / Moody, friendly, fickle/ Seulyi is the entire reason why Gaia joined LM Entertainment because she believed in her and knew she had the talent and development for the company/ Seulyi(Winny) is Gaia's backbone. Whenever Gaia loses faith in her confidence and showmanship, Winny is always there to put her in her place

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

this will decide whether or not you will be confirmed to be in Shooting Star
 

How did you get involved in the entertainment industry in aff?

✩ I'm a univeristy student and on campus I always felt so alone. Writing fics on AFF is what I love, but I wanted to meet people and truly become friends with them. I wanted something more. I wanted to know and grow in a community with my heart of music. I stumbled across Luminous Music Entertainment and my brain said "apply now!".

how many entertainments are you a part of on AFF? Which one would you like to represent?

✩ I am a part of two entertainments. Astro Productions and Luminous Music Entertainment. I would like to represent both, but if I can't I would like to represent LM unless the authors would rather have me represent Astro!

Who are you closest to in the aff entertainment industry and how did you meet?

✩ Probably Winny from LM Ent. She's a CEO and she handled my audition. Whenever I want to mix or ask to open something, I always message her. She has always been open to my ideas and I consider her a good friend. Besides Winny, I would say Yoo from LM Ent. I officially met her through the Line group chat for LM.

what do you think is important as a stR in aff?

✩ I think it's improtant to be grounded but open-minded. Have your feet solid on the ground, but allow your head to reach the clouds. Stay who you are as a person because nobody can be a better 'you' than yourself. Stay dedicated, devoted, and optimistic!

Suga (MIN YOONGI)

Suho (Kim Joonmyeon)

PERSONALITY:

✩ Suga: Laid-back, quiet, and has an old soul. Loves taking naps and hanging around at home. He isn't big on drama and what everyone else thinks. He believes his fame should come from his rapping, not how he acts in front of a camera.

✩ Suho: Respectful with manners, calm, and sweet. He is a complete gentleman and has maturity. Very romantic and wants to find out Gaia's true dreams and goals in life. One of the few people Gaia is not cold to.

LOVE STORY: (how you fell in love with them)

✩ She has always admired him from afar, but thanks to Rap Monster they get to be around each other. She falls in love with his artistry and laid-back attitude. Suga doesn't care to notice her at first, but her quirkiness and cold exterior intrigues him and he's determined to find out who she is really like on the inside and what makes her tick.

FIRST MEETING: Rap Monster brings Gaia to Bangtan's apartment for the first time and she introduces herself respectfully
ANY RELATIONSHIPS: YES PLEASE! Although if someone else claims Suga first, maybe make it to where Suga and Gaia break up, Suga dates the other trainee, and Gaia meets Suho and they start dating. Could create a lot of drama that the authors can write(;
FANGIRLING INSTANCES: A couple times later at Bangtan's apartment, Gaia walks by as Suga is in the studio making beats and she squeals. He hears something, stops, turns around to look out the door, and she tuck and rolls out of the hallway and lands in front of J-Hope's feet!

RETURN TO the STORY

GaiaMilina ✩ Gaia

LAST COMMENT: Just in case Amber is already taken as a face claim, here is a picture of my back-up (Jessi from Lucky J) and here is a picture of my back-up 'bias' (Suho) if needed.

SCENE REQUEST: 

✩ a scandal happens where paparazzi finds out Gaia has been hanging out at Bangtan's dorm and saesangs threaten her to the point where her company fears for her safety, making her step away from the public eye for a while. During this time she finds mentors to help improve her talents

✩ scene where Gaia truly believes she is going to be kicked out as a trainee, and Jay Park tells her that if all else fails, she can prove herself worthy of being signed to AOMG. This starts controversy with the companies and accidentally gets out to the media

PASSWORD: Drink water, not alcohol
