박하나

NICKNAMES:

✩ 나야 // Nah-yah : It's both a shortened, affectionately suffixed version of her name and a clever reference to P101s2's "It's Me (Pick Me)" which she is known to dance to should it ever start playing. (Nah-yah means "It's me")
시애틀 // Seattle - A simple nickname that's literally based upon the grounds that she is from Seattle, WA, USA.

LANGUAGE SPOKEN:

English // 100% - Despite being born in SK, her folks uprooted and moved to Seattle when she was first born after a job offer was too good to pass on for her mother's career. 
Korean // 90% - While she lacks on a lot of contextual cultural language skills and slang terms, she can converse in Korean very well. She grew up speaking it inside her home in the states and when visiting relatives in SK. 

APPEARANCE:

✩ Hana has a very typical "SM" look about her (in fact it's partially why she got scouted while staying with her grandparents one summer.) Very pretty by Korean standards and petite, she is what one thinks of when they think about what SM trainees look like. Outside of any hair dying or circle lens the stylists may put her in, she has dark brown, straight hair and a pair of matching warm brown eyes. 

FASHION:

✩ Before moving back to Korea for training, Hana sported a typical American style, but has since merged into more of a Korean fashion style. Her personal wardrobe consists of mostly trendy items that she doesn't really know how to match outside of the images she copies from for inspiration. Way back when she began training, a staff member pulled her aside and told her the most crucial piece of advice she's ever recieved; "You're pretty, dress to match and you'll stand out" and so she strives to do so.

PERSONALITY TRAITS:

// + Observant, Clever, Charismatic

// -  Over-Critical, Indiscreet, Stubborn

PERSONALITY:

Hana prides herself in being a very mature person while still maintaining a bit of a fresh charm to her, hence her persona "The Cranberry". She tends to be very observant of her surroundings, often seeing small details or actions that others don't. She is somewhat good at knowing how situations are going and how people are feeling because of this, making her good at reading the atmosphere and reacting thusly to keep things flowing smoothly and likewise she's able to pick out things that are off and can easily go about trying to fix them. She is also very clever, something that being observant plays off of. She is never the one to get stuck in a bind and can always figure ways around things, be it loopholes in trainee tasks that better her teammates or just getting out of troubling situations. These abilities in wit and observation seemlessly flow into her natural sense of Charisma, as well. While not bouncing off the walls with energy like some charismatic folks, she has a certain effervescent, cool charm about her. Combined with her observant nature and clever thinking, she is never short the perfect remark for any situation or interview. 

However, if not ironically so, she doesn't observe her own self very well, often leading to over-criticising herself and actions. She gives herself very high standards and never seems to think she's good enough. Her stubborn nature plays into this, making for a bad cycle of not living up to her a goal or standard she set while training or performing and then reacting negatively, refusing to hear the good and letting the bad overtake the constructive criticsim she's given. She will sometimes work so hard to fix the smallest error she ends up not sleeping for two days, then slacking off in training those days because she's tired and so the cycle continues. She strives to do well and usually does, but when she doesn't she really takes it to heart. Her observant nature, while good can also make her an awfully indiscreet person. If she sees a trainee acting odd, she will immediately go and try to help, but in doing so kinda makes it obvious that something is wrong, therefore usually leading to embarrassed reactions from said trainee and making the situation worse. (Hana tries to avoid those younger than 15 because she's been that age once, she knows the mood swings and their evils.)

BACKGROUND: 

After her folks arrived in the states and settled in, Hana grew up like the average American kid. She went to school, nothing too fancy or anything and tried to do well for the sake of her hopes for college or something. (Kids don't really know what college is but at the time it sounded important). She never really had many friends, but not because she was a loner, simply because she would have rather busied herself with other things like cheerleading or taking piano lessons. She's always had goals for herself, even as a child, and she often states that it's something she learned from her mother. 

During the summers, Hana would go to SK, living with her grandparents in Busan and helping them around the house. She always loved SK, it was a totally different, vibe than America and a refreshing break from the cold, rainy weather of her home. One summer, after she graduated high school (top ten of her class, could have been third if the other three "Park ____'s hadn't have had first names with letters before "H" in the alphabet) she was visiting her grandparents when she got spotted on the street while window shopping at a mall in the Gangnam area of Seoul. Thinking it would be at least a cool thing to try, she eventually found herself a new passion and goal to strive for; debuting as an idol. 

TRIVIA:

✩ She's got perfect vision, it's a marvel considering her mother has glasses and her dad at least needs readers. 
✩ She really likes survival shows, she says watching them gets her adrenaline pumping and hopes if she makes this one it'll be the same feeling but way better.
✩ Her favorite color is Goldenrod, and her least favorite is Beige. 
✩ She likes tea more than coffee
✩ She can't drive in Korea, she says the driving style scares her
✩ She keeps a pet kitten at her grandparents and its fuzzy and white and she named it "Juni"
✩ She would like to try and quirky concept like Red Velvet or F(X) one day

pLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF:

✩ Hana smiles justly so and nods. "Hello, I'm Hana. Please take care of me and I'll do my best." She says in perfect time before taking a seat. Curiously, she quickly stops mid sit and chuckles, bowing again. "Ah! I promised I would do this-" she cooed before striking the iconic p101s2 pose. "It's me, pick me." She said trying to play it cool before laughing. 

why did you want to become an idol?: 

✩ Fixing a piece of hair behind her ear, she ponders the question for a moment. "I want to be someone for young girls to look up to, someone that is strong and pretty to inspire their minds to do whatever they please in life." She smiles and nods. "I think everyone needs an idol, so why not become one?" She smiled cleverly and chuckled. "In both senses of the word, of course." 

bESIDES gIRLS GENERATION, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE UNDER SM YOU LOOK UP TO? IF SO WHY?:

Without skipping a beat, Hana smiles brightly. "Red Velvet. Those girls work so hard and are all so pretty. Ah, I want to be close to Seulgi one day." She laughs. "She seems so cool on TV, so if you watch or take part, Selugi-sunbaenim, please root for me!" 

tHE TRAINEES WILL BE DORMED TOGETHER THROUGHOUT THE SHOW. DO YOU THINK THERE WILL BE DRAMA?: 

✩ "Oh of course. There's going to be tons of girls living together, most of which I imagine to be teenagers." She shakes her head and laughs some knowingly. "We all know how bad our own teenage years were, can you imagine several living together? I'll try to help them when I can, older sister to younger sister, you know?" 

Your seniors have already left a legacy in their career, what kind of legacy do you want to make during the show?: 

✩ "I just hope I do them justice. It's a steep path they've all walked, so it's up to me and the other girls to hold fast and try to climb it and reach even further heights on the metaphorical mountain." 

are you ready to go into the new world?: 

Hana smiles confidently. "I hope so, you can prepare as mch as you think you need to be, but you can never really prepare for everything that might come your way. I hope  I can stay flexible enough for change and surprises, but stay focused and strong enough to overcome the trials."

TRAINEE LIFE BEFORE THE SHOW:

✩ After being street scouted for her face back in 2014, Hana has since been working diligently to stay in the favored trainee flock the SM trainee program staff is rumoured to have. She did some modeling in her first year or two of being a trainee, but since has stopped in order to focus on bettering her vocals and dancing. 

One of the older girls, she strives to remain on top of things so she isn't washed out by the newer trainees. It's rumored in the trainee facility that she's only gliding by on her looks (something the new girls tend to hear about and roll theyre eyes at her for) but Hana would like to think that it isn't true. Other than the occasional whispering about such things, she is treated normally and is often the leader in group work if not by vote than by natural flow of the situation. 

TALENT TWINS: Scratch out ones that you don't need

✩ Singing Twin // Kim Lip of  LOONA   o  o (lighter blonde, wavy hair) 

✩ Dance Twin  // Jisoo of BP  o

✩ Rap Twin

STRENGTHS: She doesn't have the most echo prone, high note straining type of voice, but she does have a very even, consistent voice that makes for good vocal carrying and tune keeping. She's practiced singing a lot in the few years she's trained and is proud that she is a well rounded vocalist, despite not being able to hit Taeyeon's and IU's as far as notes carry. She also has a good flow to her dancing, and while it too isn't the best, she can easily learn and do dances presented to her.

WEAKNESSES: While she is very good at keeping the pace and tempo of music, vocally and dance wise, she isn't so bad at one that the other shines in comparison, or so good at one the other just lacks completely. In that sort of light, she worries that she doesn't stand out for much and sometimes thinks maybe her saving grace is her face. 

PREDEBUT: Hana has experience in modeling, having done a little while she's been a trainee. While it was mostly for clothing brands or eletronics SM endorsed, she has recently stopped modeling in the last year to really hone in on her training.
