PERSONALITY ·
The Good
"Shush, I'm working"
Enri is the kind of girl that has not much of a motivation to do anything, unless it's something that she loves or interest her. Fo example her current job bored her to no end but writing brings seems to allow her to come back to life again. She is passionate and often gives her all, often with that focused face with no regards to her surrounding. She may not be the brightest bulb around but she herself also believes that her passion would help her achieve what she wants.
"You've got that bruise on your left hand, what happened?"
When she is not blabbling away about the ideas she has, Enri is quite the wallflower that sees all. Because of her passion, she tends to catch little details around her that others seem to miss. Be it the change of the tone or someone's expression, she finds that her being observamt, helps in her writing as well as decipher a little on what's going on around her.
"Hi, are you free to talk by any chance?"
Driven by passion, (just kidding) Enri, being brought up by her humourous father who has rubbed it off her in a good way, she quite the amiable person. She doesn't mind talking to strangers (asking them for opinions) and naturally she just is a friendly person. She often gives off the "Hi, you can talk to me" vibe though she doesn't say much.
"Ideally Creative"
Being quite the Idealist, Enri is one who is idealistic and creative. She can be quite an introvert because of this but it has never stopped her from being friendly to others, she just need quite a bit of 'me' time. She focus a lot on the emotional, which also what drives her to write. She often have out of the box ideas not just with writing but to solving certain issues in life as well. She believes everyone is creative in their own way and is not limited by how well they can do art.
The not so Good
"So...what did you say happen to your fifth uncle again?"
Being observant may not be a good thing for friends and family of Enri, it seems like sometimes nothing escapes her eye. She often question in a seemingly concern way but al Enri truly is, is - nosy. She enjoys meddling and being "up to date" on matters around her. Be it the drama in someone's life or the juicy details of Lina's date last night, Enri wants to know it all. Call her an ahjumma and she'll just huff. "Well, a bit more information hurts no one."
"Where did I put that notebook again? :("
Do not walk into Enri's room, it would be akin to walking into a mine field. You wouldn't know what you would step on and yes, Enri's not a fan of cleaning. Sure, she can do housework but to clean up something as personal as her room, she just enjoys working with all the stuff around her. Even her notebook with her story ideas has things written everywhere, random thoughts she has, it's as if part of that notebook is a diary.
"What should I drink today? Hmm..you know what? Surprise me."
Enri is definitely an unpredictable person, even her father wonders what goes on in that not so big brain of hers. She often does things that catches others off guard. Like at times, she would go into SOL and ask anyone working to surprise her with a drink, any drink and she would pay for it. Or she may go up to a random someone in the cafe and comment on something or give them some advice, they didn't think they need. It surprised many of the people in SOL as on the outside she just looks reserved and elegant. But then again, it provides a little entertainment at times.
"Is this a dream, or is he looking at me? Cause I imagined this scenario so many times."
Having a dream as a romance novel writer has it's downside, in this case it's part of her personality. Enri is just a hopeless romantic. She would gush while watching drama and often squeal into her pillow which causes her father to wonder what's going on. She would envision herself in different scenarios and how she would respond...except when it comes to her real life crush, she would never know what to do in real life. She would loved to be swept off her feet and often put all these "desires" and imgained scenarios in her stories.
BACKGROUND · Enri was brought up single handedly by her father. Her parents were in a 5 year gap relationship and her mother was older, her father left everything in Taiwan to come live with his wife. Both parents got married even though Enri's mum was with cancer and passed away but left a fortune behind. To escape the craziness of his wife's family rivalry, he brought Enri away to stay in a humble rented home and that was how they lived for the next 15 years. Her father worked as a taxt driver and Enri herself is no stranger to odd jobs. A nice aunt in her mother's side offered to sponsor Enri through her education, she felt like it was the least she could do which was how Enri managed to finished her university and continue on with life.
FUTURE PLANS · Enri now works in a as a publicity assistant at Sung Publishing Company. She doesn't exactly love her job but its the third job this year so she stuck with it because it puts the bread on the table. But during her off hours, she is busy writing up a storm and hopes to be the next big thing in the writing industry. She loves writing and romance novels so it's a dream to write one and publish it. For now, she earns a bit more by submitting short stories to the newspapers and doing a bit of freelance writing.
FAMILY
FRIEND(S)
· Colleagues / Good friends · Park Lina ; 16 Feb + 24 · Bubbly, Social Butterfly · Both of them often enjoy talking about everything and anything under the sun.and they could go on and on. However when it comes to going home, Lina often gets angry with Enri preferring to go home instead of having a night life like she does. Despite being younger, Lina is always the one giving her advice, though it hurts Enri's pride sometimes, she knows Lina means well · 8/10 - They have known each other since their school days. Even though Lina is one year younger, the both of them were in the drama club together. Even Enri most recent job was through Lina's help because she is working there and is one of the star staff. Lina is also the one who tries to introduce Enri to other guys which Enri often find ways to escape. Which is why Enri have never told her about SOL (her secret haven) or well...the apple of her eye.

HOW DID YOU FIND US? · Well, firstly SOL is just a 5 minute walk from my apartment. The other cafes all seem to close early and by the time I get inspiration for anything, there's no where to go... and my home is too messy to do anything. It's the perfect place for ideas to flow. So the first time I walked in, there were so many students. I feel young by just being here plus there are so many workers here and customers that would make great writing material!
ARE YOU A WORKER OR A CUSTOMER? · Customer
WILL YOU COME BACK? · If there was a membership card, I would get one! Yup, I am there almost every alternate day. I have a favourite seat even! But its not always I get that seat, sighs. Why I like that seat? Well...it has the best view of- why am I telling you this? Nonono, it's not the scenry outside. I think I said too much.
“HERE ARE YOUR TWO SCOOPS OF VANILLA. DO YOU NEED ANYTHING ELSE?”
· Look at this story, ok, if you are the MC, in this case it's a girl, but just imagine you are her. Would you choose the meticulous kind of guy or the mysterious kind? Mann, so hard to create characters that aren't cliche.
· HELP ME PROOFREAD
· Tell me about your love life, quick. I need inspirationnnn!
· If you were to write a story like mine, who would your idea girl be? (directed to a specific person)
IDEAL TYPE ·
Currently another reason Enri goes to SOL is because of a crush she has on somone who works there for quite some time. He is almost there all the time and often seem to be calm and collected, knowing what he is doing.
Enri herself doesn't have much a direction, so to see that in a guy definitely have gave him a lot of bonus points. She has spoken with him a few times and from how he interacts it seemed like he is quite a smart guy . Even though at times he takes the passive approach, Enri finds herself laughing on the inside when he rambles and complains about being paid $9.50 an hour. Though she's a talker herself, she feels like she can listen he ramble on as long as he wants.
But Enri finds herself dreading to be too close to him and tries to keep a distance sometimes. She feels like when she gets to close to him, somehow he would read her mind and know how she feels. And her insides often gets tangled when she happen to see him smile. He makes her feel like a giddy high school student who has a crush on a popular senior.
HOW WOULD THEY INTERACT ·
If they ever got together, these two would definitely be that awkward adorable couple. Enri like mentioned, becomes that shy school girl around Jaesun and is afraid to approach him much. Though there are days when she feels bolder and ask him some questions. She often sits at the seat where it's the best view to see him and while working she would steal glances at him and takes a break from her main writing, writing little descriptives of him in her notebook. She wants to but never dared to ask if Jaesun is single at the moment. When she finally got to know his name by accident, Enri started to leave little things (like an apple etc) with a post it with his name at the counter, before rushing off thinking that no one saw her. (Because she often imagines she has secret ninja skills as well.)
TRIVIA
· Secretly wrote a peition to increase the workers' pay in SOL
·
CLOSENESS · 7?
ENDING · Entirely up to you :) It can even be unrequited, if you choose to use that route.
COMMENTS · So excited for this story! I love Fashion x & Company so this makes me all the more excited! I am guessing a lot of people would apply to be Jaesun's love interest, so I really don't mind being just a character with unrequited love haha, because that's life! Anyways, let me know if I lacked anything or any suggestions you have for Enri :D Thanks for creating this app!
