CAN YOU IMAGINE

FACE CLAIM :　Park Jisoo
BACK-UP FACE CLAIM :　Lee Hayi
HEIGHT & WEIGHT :　150 cm and 50 kg
APPEARANCE & STYLE :

¬ Geumko has light brown hair, cascading past her shoulders, tumbling down to her chest, in soft waves (and sometimes straight. a mix of wavy and straight). Wispy, soft fringe decorates her forehead. She has large round eyes, a small cute nose and plump lips. Her face is round like a donut, with slightly high cheekbones. Thick eyelashes, pale porcelain skin. A doll-like appearance. She has the chubbiest cheeks and loads of baby fat, like a marshmallow. Oh well, not everyone can have a dream appearance. Whenever she eyesmiles, fireflies lit up the sky, stars shine brighter, and a cool breeze serenade you. Her cheeks turn a slight tinge of pink whenever she's embarrassed. If she grins, her cheeks pop up and her gummy smile is visible. She is petite in height, but don't underestimate Geumko because she is a majestic mighty lion on the inside. In short, her small body and fragile-like appearance screams save this helpless kawaii baby princess.

She has a balance taste in both colourful and dark clothes. Feminine and tomboyish, with a touch of lady-like elegance.

PERSONALITY :　

With a heart as delicate as flower petals and as soft as a sponge, Geumko is a sweet girl. Seeing the good in people, blind to the cracks as the world deceives her. Too angelic, too good for this world, they say. A laugh like the tinkling footsteps of fairies, a smile brighter than the sun. She's the gentle breeze of autumn, the blossoming flowers in spring. Geumko radiates an innocent aura. Her dedication and appreciation for the people she holds dear in her heart are never ending. She truly is grateful for anyone who's there for her. She would take a bullet for her loved ones, even if they won't do the same for her. She's like your great grandmother, feeding you her horrible cookies and worrying over your health more than you actually do. No how matter how mean a person can be to Geumko, she'll treat them back nicely. She believes that a bad person, is actually a good person who's lost. A goodie two shoes.

A fierce lion is what Geumko hopes to be, but due to her weak appearance and pushover nature, her majestic visualization is reduced to a helpless kitten. No one sees Geumko as a strong and ferocious lion. Though, there are times where Geumko has enough of people viewing her as a weakling, and that is when her fierce side comes out. A sharp eye and an idealistic view on the world. Trusts too easily. Breaks too easily. Once swayed, her walls that she worked so hard to build around herself crumbled. Without guidance and arms pulling her up to stop her from drowning further in the abyss of depression, she is like a lost star.

At rare times, Geumko has this random bursts of energy. She sometimes likes to blurt out random unimportant facts, and can be a little weird at times. A dash of Luna Lovegood. This side rarely comes out though, buried deep in herself.

TRIVIA :

¬ likes to sleepwalk. it started when she was a young child, and although its not as frequent as before, she still tends to do sleepwalk. how Geumko ended up sleepwalking, is still a mystery. she doesn't do anything weird or dangerous when she sleepwalks --- the most is probably that one time Geumko ended up sleeping in the bathtub, or when she succesfully cooked and made herself ramen (while still unconsciously asleep), etc
¬ likes to randomly widens her eyes, puffs her cheek or juts out her bottom lip or a combination of all three
¬ loves super sweet tea and bitterr black coffee (no in between. its either very very sweet or very very bitter)
¬ once dyed her hair red because she bought the wrong hair dye (she wanted to dye her hair a pastel pink but didn't look at the products clearly)
¬ Her longtime crushes are Tuxedo Mask, Gaara, Kuroko Tetsuya, Kousei Arima, Katsuki Yuri etc aka fictional boys who live in animes
¬ as you can tell, she loves anime
¬ collects action figures and comics
¬ loves horror movies. she doesn't find them scary and rarely flinches when she watches the movies by herself. she's more intrigued to the movie than scared
¬ her history of watching , yuri and is nonexistent (except maybe when she accidentally watched one and immediately freaked out)
¬ Geumko actually looks similar to Thomas the Tank Engine and can imitate Thomas' expressions well
¬ has a secret love for black roses
¬ loves to bake, and her creations 99% failed. let's just say that Geumko has 0 skills in baking (beware though. her ultimate power is her home made baked cookies which tastes horrible. one time one of the milkway squad tried her cookies, and he/she was immediately rushed to the hospital. the milkway squad doesn't have the heart to tell her that her cookies are a disaster, so up until now she doesn't know that her baking skills are terrible. Geumko always offers her cookies to her squad. And when she does, the milkway squad immediately backed away as if Geumko was offering them cyanide. This left her utterly confused)
¬  has a black belt in martial arts
¬  is currently pursuing a nuclear engineering degree in university
¬  she still wears cartoon pyjamas to sleep
¬  she is in her university's robotic club
¬  has a self made projector that doubles as an alarm. it projects constellations, stars, and galaxies to her ceilings, surrounding her bedroom walls
¬  can't really see well, so she wears round wire rimmed glasses (just like a grandma)
¬ likes ; sweet food, scented candles, soft snuggly warm things, horror movies, cartoon animations
¬ dislikes ; kawaii cute things, being underestimated, sushi, people who hurt others without a solid reason, glittery shiny things, when people pay too much attention to her (it gets her nervous, fingers slightly shaking and voice a bit wobbly, afraid she might say the wrong things)
¬  converses in mixed Japanese  to her parents. its so that her ability to speak Japanese won't disappear
¬  mumbles in mixed Korean-Japanese when she's sleeping

YOU MIGHT MAKE IT COME TRUE

BACKGROUND :　

The spring season arrived. In a warm sunny Japan, as the gentle wind blew, a baby girl was born. Blinking her huge eyes open as she scans around the white artificial room, a smile graced upon her soft plump lips as she let out her first tinkling laugh. Her mother and father's heart swells in joy. Yōkoso, Geumko. 

Geumko had always been introverted. She cannot fit in easily. Whereas other kids would play around in the blazing afternoon, Geumko would be in her room, playing imaginary games with her paper dolls that she cut herself, finding comfort in talking and confiding to her dolls, as if they were real.  She was a slowpoke in adapting to her environment. It took her some time to be able to speak and understand Japanese. When she's with her parents, that is when her shyness starts to disappear and her energetic, vivacious self comes up. Playing tag with her parents, being assistant chef to her mother as she bakes Geumko's favourite dishes, riding in her father's shoulders as she shouts in pure delight. She had a warm and memorable childhood. She's also pretty mischievious, drawing on the back of her father's paperworks, intentionally drawing on her mother's favourite cooking apron. She didn't do those things because she craved for attention, no. Her parents made sure to spend endless quality time with her. Though her parents may be busy, Geumko never felt unloved. Anata wa shiawasedesu, Geumko.

Its the first day of school. The little girl in her brand new crisp uniform balled her fists, hiding behind her parents' legs. Don't go, she begged. Her parents gave her a long hug, telling her that they will be back. She watched as her parents waved goodbye, got in the car and rode off. Having no choice, she took hesitant steps towards the huge building. She's soon in her classroom. One by one the students went to the front and introduced themselves. Finally, it was the little girl's turn. Slowly, she walked to the front. Her heart was beating fast, her hands suddenly turned sticky and she had a sudden urge to pee. Stuttering, the little girl introduced herself. Small snickers could be heard here and there. Gulping, the little girl finally bowed, relieved at finishing her introduction. Before she could return to her seat, a sudden gush of pale yellow-y liquid streamed down her legs, pooling around her feet. Surprised, the little girl looked down, horrified to find herself urinating in public. The class erupted into laughter. A chorus of ew, she peed on herself! were heard all around the classroom. The teacher hushed the class, scolding them for being rude. The little was excused to go to the toilet. She locked herself in the cubicle, crying her heart out. A knock was heard. No response came from the little girl. Another knock. It was her teacher, softly telling her to come out. Sniffling, she unlocked the cubicle and went out. The teacher smiled kindlyy, helping her clean up. Its okay, she says. I farted in my first day of school, the teacher confessed. Smiling a little, the little girl trudged back to her class. She still wasn't brave enough to raise her head, deciding to look downcast the entire day instead. Nakanaide, Geumko.

Geumko stayed silent, not talking much in the class. Despite her disastrous incident, some of her classmates still tried to befriend her.  Geumko didn't know what to do, too shy and lacking courage to make friends. She didn't tell her parents about how she was struggling in making social interactions with human beings. They knew though, deep down. They knew that their daughter had always been reserved, silent. At home though, Geumko was the opposite. She was more carefree and lively, vivid colours surrounding her as she adventures around her house. When she's with her loved ones, that is where she truly felt at home. Daijōbudesuka, Geumko?

Geumko was confused when she saw her parents packing up things in big brown boxes. Where are we going? she asks. We're moving back home, her mother replied. Home? Aren't we at home? Geumko asked. Her parents only smiled. Geumko's father was tasked back to Korea. Thus the Gam family moved back to their hometown. Pohang, to be exact. Geumko was troubled . Moving to another country and having to adapt again. The whole new student thing that she had to go through, still traumatized with the memory of her first day in kindergarten. Nevertheless, they moved. It was hard to leave Japan behind. Fresh memories etched in her mind. She can still smell the sakura flowers, the sensation of eating her very first sushi (and afterwards vomiting it out). And her first major experience of public display embarrassment (that she will not get over it). It all seems so small and far away now. Say sayōnara Geumko.

Being the new student , but at least Geumko didn't peed on herself. Geumko had no trouble speaking Korean, as she spoke her native language frequently at home back in Japan. Adapting though, was difficult. She still stayed the quiet girl in class. Geumko was, friendless. She was drifting aimlessly. Lost. It was on one faithful night, when she was alive at an ungodly hour, surfing through the internet. She found herself in a dating site that has something to do with astrology. She was about to go to sleep until a small ad caught her eyes. Sirius. At first she thought that Sirius must be a site that has something to do with Harry Potter, so she clicked it. It was not, but that didn't stop her from making an account, just for fun. Geumko didn't have a huge interest on astronomy nor astrology back then. The milkyway squad was the one who drew her fascination to astrology/astronomy. It was as if Geumko found her way back home, the stars guiding her in the form of the milkyway squad. She felt herself growing closer to them, she found herself being more couragous. Jinsei wa subarashī, Geumko.
Years pass. Geumko graduated and has now entered university. She still remains the same, if not a more better version of herself than before. She studied diligently. Nuclear engineering was hard. She sometimes struggled to keep up. At times she found herself understanding more faster than before. It varies. Her parents still are as busy as ever, and their retiring age will soon come. The milkway squad was always on the back of her mind. Sometimes she found herself smiling as her mind flashbacked to the fun times they had together. What wil become of Geumko? She's not too sure herself, and this scares her. Will she lose her way again? Geumko doesn't know. Ogenkidesuka, Geumko?

RELATIONSHIPS :　

¬ parents — Gam Kihyo, Gam Joohee (44) / employees of a company, soon to retire / loving stern hardworking strict caring gentle / 10/10
They're her anchor in rough storms. Geumko truly loves her parents. They're busy, working to ensure that Geumko would have a good life. Day and night, eyebags visible, tirelessy sitting in the same position for hours, typing away. They would come home, and instantly their overwhelming tired figures were gone, replaced by the bliss of seeing Geumko waiting for them to come home, her small figure snoring gently as she slept in the couch. Her childhood days were coloured vibrantly. Memories of her younger self, as she ran around the house playing tag with her parents, playing hide and seek on the walk back home after school. Geumko remembers how mischievious she can get, and the scoldings she would receive from her parents. They were her telescope, enlarging her views on the world until she could see the small details of life. Random jokes she told tell her parents or family dinner times would sometimes turn into valuable life lessons. She truly loves her parents, she never wants to disappoint them.

¬ someone who I look up to — Im Yewon (21) / medical student / the brightest star I have ever seen / 6/10
Through Sirius, Geumko met an older girl with a child-like nature. Yewon was the one who encouraged Geumko to be more sociable. She was the one who would pull Geumko together if the latter didn't have the strength to. When its impossible for Geumko to love herself in all situations, its easy to love the self that emerges when she's with particular people, and Yewon is part of the particular people. She was the one who would willingly taste Gemko's horrible homemade cookies and not spit them out or make a single bad comment about it. Geumko treasures Yewon. But she isn't sure if the latter cares for her as much as she cares for Yewon. Geumko fears that the friendship they share are only one-sided. Geumko pours out her hardships and things that bothers her, and Yewon would be there to lend a shoulder as the younger girl wallows in woe. She wishes to know Yewon's problems, but feels that its not her place to. She treats their friendship as if it were a delicate, fragile vase that would break any time. She didn't want to push or pull. She's already too grateful for Yewon's presence that she's afraid that the smallest thing she does might break and tear them apart.

You never walk alone, I never walk alone
//So don't go Starlight, stay here. At least, stay in my heart//

LAST WORDS :　hello hello lunafreya! <3 I am really excited for this story >u< tbh I rarely apply to stories other than girl groups, so forgive me if I made a lot of mistakes T-T. This is my first time applying to something other than girl groups, and I tried not to write like how I usually write, so I apologize for the lack of everything 3. I can't do timelines well so I hope you're alright with my messy bunched up unorganized background. I am really horrible in coding, I have 0 knowledge in it, so please do excuse my lame app which lacks art. I am horrible in poetry or anything space related, I do not understand moodboards and aesthetics and tumblr these days and I tried my best in restraining myself from adding too many gifs. I also do not understand archetypes and personality classifications and such, and I had to literally DO A REsearch and look up about personality types bacuse I don't understand xD. I mean I understand english, but literature and poetry's languages are too high for me to understand xD lel. Now I'm rambling, forgive  me.  Anyways, for me, classifications and tropes and archetypes and etc don't do people justice since there are many layers of a person that a simple classification is not enough. I personally think that Geumko has 2 even 3 MBTI types. But not to worry, I had fun looking up about types and such ^^. In short, Geumko is a cute optimistic shy girl. There are times when she is like a leader, the peacemaker. Other times she's naive, sensitive, easily discouraged, unconfident, blank, secretly hilarious. Geumko has many opposite personality existing in her. Like lets say she's friendly but also shy, introvert.  So it was difficult for me to convey her personality into types and such. I'd say her optimistic personality is like Sailor Moon. Her naive and gullible-ness is like little red riding hood. She's a real life version of Kuriyama Mirai from Kyoukai No Kanata and Hinata from Naruto. She also has a mix of melancholic-supine and supine-sanguine. Other TV tropes Geumko has are probably the chick, team mom and token good teammate. I don't really know which animal suits her, but probably a panda or a cat or a tiger or a combination of all three? As for her elements, its a mix of both earth and water. She also has a cloudcuckoolander aka weird personality too. I am really bad in making jokes, so I apologize if  I displayed 0 humour in this ap T-T the only humour I can do is a failed forced humour so...yep. PS ; yokoso means welcome, anata wa shiawasedesu means you are happy, nakanaide means do not cry, daijobudesuka means are you okay, sayonara means goodbye, jinsei wa subarasahi means life is wonderful and ogenkidesuka means how are you (I'm not Japanese so I don't know if its the correct translation or not..if I have offended you in any way, forgive me t_t) (also if you're wondering who talked in those weird japanese sentences at the very end of every paragraph ; its not geumko's parents. its more like a narrator, or a conclusion in each memorable event that happened in her life). THIS IS THE LAST PS I SWEAR (sorry for the caps) did you see the hidden sentence underneath her relationship with yewon? ehe. (did it seemed a little too forced though?..)
