the character
background
sephy was born in santorini, greece in 1995 to a greek father and korean mother. Her parents had met when her father, a writer for travel books, spent 6 months in south korea, travelling between the provences. her mother fell in love with her fathers sense of adventure and possibility and after his 9 months in south korea were up, she decided to travel with him.
sephy grew up across the world, never stopping too long in one place. she was moved from school to school throughout her childhood for her parent's work, meaning her life was not exactly stable. as soon as she'd started to set roots in a place, she be moving to another country for the start of a new book. One thing is for sure, she was never short of penpals. She would have been bitter about the instability were it not for the music. For sephy, music to her was like sunlight. everywhere she went, there was new music to listen to and new dances to learn and through that she discovered her love of dancing. her parents indulged her love for music and allowed her to choose one instrument to carry with her (with all the travelling, sephy wasn't able to have a lot of possessions).
Sephy spent her teens as part of the kaligaris team, exploring the furthest corners of the world while struggling with the pressures of burdening womanhood. penpals a many, sephy had no friends to confide in when she experienced important milestones or locked eyes with the cute boy at the varadero street market in cuba. were it not for her music, sephy felt she would have gone mad. she was a woman of the world and yet felt she had no home, except for inside her music.
when sephy turned 18, she no longer wanted to travel with her parents. she loved her parents and knew how blessed she was to have seen so much of the world but she wanted to make her own name and decided that getting  a degree was the first step. promising to write to her parents every week, sephy moved to seoul and lived on her university campus, not too far away from her grandparents. Her degree was easily funded by the money her family had made on writing travel books. she settled into university well and made a few friends along the way. Knowing that she could easily climb on the family bandwagon, sephy chose to study geography and environmental sciences but her dream was to be a musician. For giggles, sephy and some of her friends decided to audition for an agengy. her dance performance, a combination of all the dances she had learnt while travelling, got her accepted. 

personality
(+) charismatic, intelligent, open-minded, care free, caring
sephy is like a magnet the way people are drawn to her. The way she looks at people when they're talking to her and the way she strings her words together when telling a story that draws people to her. having travelled all over the world and being exposed to different cultures and people from birth, sephy is very open-minded and it's hard to phase her. sephy hasn't really had to worry about much before. sure she  didn't have a normal childhood but she has two parents who love her and she's seen more of the world in her first few years than some people will in their whole lives. because of her experiences, sephy can be so laid-back she's horizontal. while sephy tries to avoid the responsibility of being a role model, she cares very deeply about people. if someone is hungry, she'll give them her food and if they're cold, she'll give them the clothes off her back. she firmly believes whatever you put out into the world comes back to you so it's better to do good.
(=) pensive
sephy tends to remain quiet for long periods on end and can make people feel uncomfortable when looking at them if they are talking to her. This is not her judging them, she is just observing them.
(-) critical, self-deprecating, depressed
sephy can be quite critical of people when they do things she deems to be bad or ignorant. she just wants people to be better versions of themselves but it doesn't always come off as her being supportive. sephy's sense of humour is more sarcastic quick wit and dry humour than knock knock jokes. picture the love child of stiles and tony starks sense of humour and you have sephy's comical vocabulary. but it is used equally as a defense mechanism. sephy uses her sarcasm to protect hersel frm criticism coss nobody can read you like yourself. sephy uses her sarcasm as a weapon (thinking that she has no active powers) as the way she defends herself. after everything that has happened sephy feels hopeless about her future and tortures herself mentally.
habits
ONE, watching people intently while they're talking (this tends to make people squirm)
TWO, she smokes to cope with the change
THREE, sitting with her knees pressed against her chest
FOUR, rolling her neck in a way that makes it crack before dishing out some insults/home truths

THE RELATIONSHIPS

FAMILY

RELATION 
alekos kaligaris, 54 (Mads mikkelsen)
travel book writer
alekos gave his daughter everything a child ever dreams of: adventure. very well educated  and a little bit of a know it all at times, alekos always had something to teach sephy, helping her become so openminded. alekos was stern but fair, helping sephy to learn from her mistakes rather than punishing her for making them. sephy's fondest memories of him are a night they spent in egypt at a festival.

Sephy neglects to tell her father what happened to her because she hasn't yet come to terms with what happened to her. she manages to escape his curiosity as he is constantly travelling and she can pretend that all the letters she send just get lost. 


RELATION 
Kim Minseo, 49 (kim hee sun)
travel book writer/teacher
BACKGROUND throughout her child hood, minseo was sephy's best friend. every child is close to their mother, but as they moved a lot. minseo was the only constant female she could look up to. while she couldn't/wouldn't talk to her mother about every, minseo provided her with the best example of a strong woman. minseo raised sephy with a firm hand, making sure her grades didn't slip while they travelled but was also the first to sign her daughter up for skydiving and swimming with sharks.

just like with her father, sephy has yet to tell her mother what has happened to her. sephy knows that the knowledge of what has happened to her will destroy her m other who would hate herself for not being able to protect her and sephy cannot deal with the idea of hurting her.
 

FRIENDS
RELATION 
Song mina, 20  (bae suzy)
pharmacology atudent
BACKGROUND: mina and sephy were roommates in college from the first year they started and was the first friend she made when she joined the uni. finding a mutual interest in french films during orientation, the pair became fast friends and wingwomen on occassion. it was mina who convinced sephy to go for the auditions as she was 'tired of listening to her one man band' in their tiny dorm room. when sephy got accepted and mina didnt. sephy and mina still kept frequent contact, smsing and calling each other often. after the experiments and finding herself alive outside, her first point of call is to reach out to mina who had been leaving more and more hysterical messages on her phone. when sephy shows up at her uni, she finds people from the company swarming the building and only catches a glimpse of mina through a window. 

 
LOVER

NO (but someone could like her/she could be brought round to a yes)

straight

why a lover in these times?
i can't be that for someone right now. why would i trick someone into loving me when i don't even know who i am anymore? i know that I'm going crazy. only the captain needs to go down with his ship, no one else.

dark energy manipulation
when the chimera takes over, sephy is able to create, use and abuse dark energy, pulling it out of the thin air. it can be manipulated into a concussive blasts that when used offensively can be used to knock people away or when focused with extreme aggression blast limbs off.

possession
The chimera feeds on the pain of others so what better way than to possess them and take away their will to live. while the chimera can possess multiple hosts to utilise the information in their head or their physical skills, it prefers to kill its enemies from the inside, either setting them on each other or tearing them apart from the inside. the chimera revels in a little (a lot) of bloodshed.  and by tearing them apart from the inside, i mean nothing left. the chimera destroys people on a molecular level, making sure there's nothing left.
tumblr_o892xchpzF1vpsaw5o2_500.gif
gravity manipulation
the chimera isn't weighed down by something so trivial as gravity.  she uses it to perform acts like balancing on the hood of a speeding car or walk on the ceiling. a seemingly passive power in comparison to the other two,  this power is nonetheless extremely useful.
the chimera would be the perfect weapon if not for one thing, with sephy unable to accept what really happened to her and her friends, the chimera is unable to reach its full potential, meaning that when it is unleased sephy experiences a black out. as sephy is in such great denial about what happened to her, the chimera is rarely able to take control and will only emerge when faced with a genuine threat to her life. as the chimera is only able to gain limited control (for now) it works in the shadows and shields itself from the eyes of her group for fear of annihalation (sephy's fear of being cast out of the group or rejected is translated to the chimera only fighting in the shadows)
having been created out of immense pain, the chimera is a part of her that she dispells and therefore cannot control. It is only after accepting her history that sephy and the chimera can form a single conciousness. 
 

background
what did the character went through turning into an inhuman?
sephy was strapped down for most of her experiments because she was such a fighter. the first time they tested her, she bit a chunk of out a guys neck. shackled from her head to her feet, sephy couldn't move as her body was cut and injected and tortured. one day when she broke a wrist restraint, she opened her neck restraint and saw the flesh from her chest peeled away and tubes connected to her various organs. she struggled harder when the restraints were put back on. 
eventually sephy suffered what can loosely be called a psychotic break when needles were forced into her eyes and spine. it was as if her soul left her body. when sephy's conciousness broke, the chimera was born. sephy remembers losing conciousness but not the rest. this was the first instance that the chimera took over. her eyes went black and yeonji witnessed the power of the chimera for the first time. Yeonji was able to watch as black tendrils swarmed out of sephy's body and consumed the scientists around her, tearing their bodies apart. sephy's body had become free from the retraints and the tendrils had formed a protective cucoon around her. 
the chimera is a powerful alter ego of sephy. when in danger, the chimera takes over and sephy disappears. the transition can be observed by the ring of fire that spreads from her pupil and her eyes turn black. for sephy, this is a blackout and she has no control over the actions of the chimera. sephy believes that she has no powers and uses her sarcasm and a hammer to protect herself and that the blackouts are signs of her losing her mind.
what really created the chimera is a mystery; was it something that yeonji did or was the chimera born out of sephy's insanity? as time goes on, sephy will be able to become the chimera willing and control her, but for now, its russian roulette.


a little q&a section 

1. how do you feel about not being able to interact with normal people?
i'm happy no one can see me like this. I dont want anyone to see me losing my mind

2. you're stuck in a room with the group and right outside the door is the enemy. what do you do? 
try and joke my way out of it?? *laughs* I don't know what you expect me to do. kill everyone with my razor sharp wit??
i will possess the enemy and make them fight amongst themselves like animals [chimera]

3. you see one of your groupmates get injured in a fight. what do you do?
i'll carry them to safety. i don't care if i can't fight, i'm not gonna let anyone die. 
i will protect my family [chimera]

4. would you jump in front of one of the other six if they're about to be shot?
that's a bit of a huge hypothetical. would i choose someone elses life over my own? would you save five strangers or one sibling. riddle me this
i cannot be killed by a mere bullet. dark energy is more powerful than a man made weapon [chimera]

5. would you want to lose your powers?
I've already told you, i don't have any powers. you can't take what isn't there.
you cannot take what belongs to me [chimera]
