background : kang mari was found by a dumpster behind a hospital. she was only a week old when her parents threw her away. it was fortunate that she was found the next morning and it was summer. she was registered and diagnosed with type two waardenburg syndrome-which meant that she had heterochromatic eyes, a white forelock of hair and a hearing problem- soon after. for The most part of her life, mari was bounced from foster home to foster home and she was always discriminated agianst because of her 'abnormalities'. she saw a lot of ed up in the foster homes she had to visit and that made her tougher and mistrustful. at the age of twelve she was adopted by the kang couple, who had been trying to have a kid since heir marriage, but could not actually have one. They were the nicest people she had ever seen and even though she appreciated their kindness, the intensity of it made her slightly uncomfortable. they always bought everything best for her, they were and still are quite well off after all. She had the best doctors in the country and she was treated like a royalty at home. things were different in school. everybody avoided her because she looked like a freak. or that's what they whispered behind her back. soon whispers turned into missing shoes and clothes , cut up books and alleyway confrontations that resulted in broken hearing aids and bruises. mari gave back as much as she got if not more. she was already a freak in their eyes, so why not become a full fledged monster. she scared all of her classmates away and stop the bullying that way. despite all the turmoil in her high school life, she always managed to either be first or second place in her class. even though her extra curricular activities were not that colorful, besides the fact that she volunteered in several nursing homes, she was accepted into Seoul national university. in her second year she moved out of her home and moved in with the first friend she made through university.

( / ) : shy; emotional; prideful;
personality in depth : sehun is the type of person that, like mari, seems cold on the outside and is very affectionate on the inside. all he really wants is to be accepted and understood by the people he likes. with strangers and simple acquaintances he is a cold and indifferent ice prince, but with his hyungs and the people he likes. despite this he can be quite backwards about getting people to like him. he can say things he does not mean and immediately regret it, but because of his pridefulness not admit to being wrong and even make things worse. on the other hand, when he is actually comfortable with someone, he thrives on silent actions to make the person aware of his attention and care. to be honest, he would do anything necessary for his friends. His way of showing his affection is skinship.
relationship details : even though sehun had been following mari for quite a while now, they only met the night he was supposed to bring her to the safe house. before that, mari had a feeling that someone was following her around, well someone was, but it seemed more creepy than it actually was. so one night, when mari was returning home from her evening class and sohee had decided to stay with her boyfriend, mari found something unexpected in her apartment. the apartment was as she had left it, but her room on the other hand was not. the lights inside her room were on and there was a rustling sound coming from it. so she grabbed a big bread knife and cautiously approached the room. she swung the door open and saw sehun, who was pacing around the room as he waited for her. He broke out into a ramble about how her safety was jeopardized and she was to be moved. This was of course all too confusing and mari just assumed that the person was crazy. soon sehun was annoyed with her dumbfounded behavior and was dragging her out of the room and she just had to strike him with the knife to actually get him to slow down. the next moment they were yelling at each other and overall sehun just barely managed to convince her to go with him. During this whole ordeal, mari noticed that there was wind in the apartment, even though none of the windows were open. with this started her guesses about powers, which were soon confirmed with all the talk about previously unknown to her situation. she admits that it was most certainly really stupid to follow a total stranger, but she was feeling quite adventurous and in that moment she could not really resist more than she already had, and tha was a lot. after this their interactions are pretty much petty fights and reconciliations. As soon as mari is introduced to the others she starts "investigating" them, subtly, with stupidly curious questions and requests to demonstrate their powers. and sehun is slightly jealous, because she is now interested in all the others and does not even look his way, but of course he would never admit that. the shifting point in their relattionship is when mari sneaks out of the safe house to collec he things that she misses and forgot to bring the first time.cough her hearing aid batteries and cleaning supplies, cause that is importantcough. of course sehun will realize that she is gone and go after her and he appears just is she is about to get strangled by some man. sehun knocks the man out and is all "we have to leave immediately" but mari insists that she pack her things, because if she leaves something important behind she'll have to sneak out again. she also leaves a quick note for sohee, saying that she's safe, but will be gone for a while. the way this experience changes things between them is that mari sees sehun in a new light. he actually managed to save her and prove al that guardian bull he was spouting before. and sehun realizes that he actually cares for mari and she is not just an obligation. from then their relationship develops gradualy.

"don't be jealous of the moon"
scene suggestions : 1.Mari being a rude and hurting sehun's sensitive feelings and then apologizing both with words and a symbolic action 2.sehun mocking her white hair, saying she is a grandma, when it starts growing out and the hair dye is no longer conevring the roots, of course mari gets upset and kind of unloads on him. 3.all in movie night with horror movies and pranks involving powers. tba
