ELABORATION —

• Sera is the girl who lives life to the fullest. She has always been the life of every social gathering she went to. She's wild and extroverted. She does what she wants and relishes in the pleasures of life. She never really saw the point in working hard for grades to get a stable job and spend the rest of your life ina dull routine. So she always does whatever she feels like. She never really cared how much people liked or disliked her. She's friendly to everyone she meets, but she does not depend on how people percieve her. Despite this, most people seem to like her personality. She also likes to talk and express her opinions, which makes her kind of blunt. She won't hold back expressing her opinions in fear of offending someone or hurting their feelings. Shes also pretty impatient, if she asks for something and someone does nto either reject her request or accept it soon, she might get mad. If she decides on something, she definitely won't change her mind unless she is presented with unrefutable proo and no she won't take any half assed correlation as proof. Even though she speaks a lot and freely, she keeps her personal life away from it. She is very guarded and secretive when it comes to her feelings and emotions.

BACKGROUND + EVERYDAY LIFE —

• Sera was born to Jeon Maeri and Jeon Hoseok as a second daughter. She grew up in a happy family, which included her older sister, Hyera. Despite the fact that they were a simple middle class family and sometimes struggled with family finances and bank loans, they were always happy. Sera never had problems getting along with her family or people outside it. She had many friends in both Elementary and Middle school, but things started to change when she started High School. Her attitude and the way other's befriended her made some of her classmates dislike her, especially girls, who wanted to acquire attention and be popular. Because of this they started to bully Sera. Overcoming this was in no way easy, but her likable personality and quick wit helped her along. Soon the girls who bullied Sera became ostracized by others, because of their behavior and Sera became once more the lovely member of the class. After this, she became liked even more, those that did not like her did not dare express their dislike for her. With popularity came its downsides. Some people liked her so much, it was overbearing. She felt as if someone was watching her all the time and soon she started getting anonymous messages that were quite creepy. She reported the scary messages to the polive, but of course even though they promised to investigate, they did nothing. Her case just became another dusty file on a policeman's desk. Because of the inaction she recieved as a response from the police, she decided to just ignore the messages and the feeling of being watched, thinking that whoever it was would just get tired of it, but the person behind it turned out to be sick with erotomania. Erotomania is a delusional disorder when a person believes that another person - mostly a person of a higher social status, whom they have no relationship with- is in love with them. This person believed that Sera was secretly in love with him and wanted to let him no by secretive glances and different hints. This escalated quickly and even resulted in an abduction. On a cold december night, when Sera was still sixteen, her stalker confronted her on her way home. Even though Sera tried to fight back, she was pushed into his car and abducted. She was kept in an abandoned building for a few days, while her family and police went crazy looking for her. When police came close to finding the building, the stalker just pushed her into the trunk of his car and drove off. At some point he abandoned the car and ran off on foot, leading the police away from the car. As a result, Sera had to spend two days in a trunk of a car in cold december. She was eventually found suffering from hypothermia and extreme shock. After this accident, Sera's grandparents got involved. They were an extrememly rich couple, who had disowned their son - Sera's father - because he had chosen a career in law instead of Medicine as they had before. They decided to help Sera along with everything she needed and it was relieved that thye wanted to reconcile with their son ever since Hyera's birth, but the man refused them. Because of Sera's state and the shame he felt as a father for failing her, he could not longer refuse any help he could get. Because of the traumatic experience, Sera spent the next three years in a psychiatric facility in scotland. After that she took her GED and passed with ease. Since she did not really know what she wanted to pursue in life at that point, she started traveling with her therapy dog, Sally. Sally was an older rescue dog that was trained in emotional support after her rescue. After a year and a half of traveling, Sera realized that Sally was too old to continue traveling with her and accompanying her to extreme activities, so they returned to Korea and Sera decided to get another therapy dog, so Sally could retire and live with her just a regular pet.

• Now Sera mainly lives a simple life. She attends Hanguk University and is a marine biology major. She usually wakes up at five am or earlier because of her nightmares and makes herself a cup of coffee. After that she does basic yoga poses and meditates. This helps her a lot in starting her day well. After that she takes care of Sally and Mordy's food. She feeds them and they just hang around afterwards as she gets ready for her morning jog. She takes both Mordy and Sally with her on her jog and then she gets ready to leave for university. Before leaving she straps the harness on Mordy and then she is on her way. She travels by bus and attends classes. After getting back home, she makes food for herself and eats. After her meal she takes Sally and Mordy for another walk. After their walk they settle into the apartment and she usually just works on her university assignments. On weekends hers sister visits and stays the night, so they have fun sleep overs and trips during the day.
