(N) Stoic, Strict, Very Blunt, Business-Like.
PERSONALITY:
"Ah, Hana? I swear, this kid better stop bottling her feelings up or I swear..! I'm kidding. Well, what can I say? Hana likes to keep to herself. You're special if she ever decides to open up her heart to you, but please, treasure it. Once Hana decides to take you in her wing, she'll go through heaven and hell just to make you happy." -Sho Sakurai ; Hana's favorite 'aniki'.
Labeled as a 'kuudere' by none other than Satoshi Ohno, Hana is always seen as a person who is calm and composed all the time. She's usually serious and is always in-charge of a situation. She never panics and she's one to turn to whenever someone's in a crisis. She speaks monotonously in a calm voice, which just adds +100 sarcasm points to her comments and often looks unaffected/unfazed over any/everything. She never seems to happy, excited, or surprised--just as much as she never appears sad, annoyed or angry. Some might even think that she looks completely emotionless. That's just because people have a hard time reading her emotions. She looks all the same when she's happy, sad, angry, annoyed, excited--all the same. She has this what you call the 'resting face' or downright looks unimpressed all the time and she doesn't care one bit or try to even change it. She is very patient; having a twin brother who is borderline an idiot and an equally outgoing older brother, Hana learned how to deal with them patiently, thinking of herself as the most sane sibling. Another trait of hers also, is that she gets over things quickly. She doesn't hold grudges as for her, it wastes her energy. She'd rather drop it. She hates small talk and doesn't beat around the bush. Usually in a conversation, most questions directed to her would only get one-worded answers. If you're lucky enough, she'll answer you a full sentence. It's not that Hana's afraid of talking; she just chooses not to. But don't mistake it as her being rude. It's just that she hates prolonging conversations as it wastes her energy. Her brothers often joke that Hana's favorite phrase is "..." as it is, which gets them a glare in return. Deep down though, she'll do anything to protect her friends and her loved-ones. Despite being stoic most of the time, she secretly cares for them and their happiness. She'll do everything she can while staying in the background just to make her loveones happy.
Hana enjoys quiet hobbies such as reading, painting and skating by herself. You see, Hana loves her silence. If her background of one-worded answers didn't give it away yet, then here it is. She values her silence and would send an icy glare to someone who dares disrupt it.
Despite being a person with a resting face syndrome, she does show her smile or laugh to people she's extremely close with; and they value it a lot. It's a big deal to everybody for Hana to even crack a smile, much more make her laugh. That sometimes, people think she's scary, that's until they get to know her.
Because of her one-worded answers or less words, she tends to be blunt; having to say what she has to say in one shoot and drop than give subtle hints. What she feels of the question you ask her, you'll get an honest answer. If you're unlucky enough, she'll give you the harsh truth.
People around her most especially, know not to push her to her anger point. It happened once, and it's not a pretty scene. You see, the people who are usually calm tend to explode the moment they've reached their limit--that doesn't exempt Hana. You anger her and you could consider yourself basically invisible to her.
No one is perfect. As much as we hear this trite nugget, a lot of us do not take it to heart. (Nudge, nudge.) Hana is the type of person who does not only admit her imperfections, she applauds them. She knows where her strength lies, where she can improve and when to get the heck outta dodge and let others take the lead. Trying to be perfect at everything is inefficient, and Hana just ain’t got no time for that. She loves herself for who she is — and for who she's not.
Now, some people may think this practice is b-tchy, but in reality, it’s pretty respectful. What, you ask? Hana says no. She doesn’t overcommit and she doesn’t make false promises. She just says no. Why? Because she'd rather state the truth and decline rather than tell a white lie and then flake out later. And, she doesn’t have time for everything. No one does. The difference is, burnout simply isn’t on Hana's agenda, so she makes sure to commit to things she’ll actually enjoy instead of piling every little thing onto her calendar for the sake of other people. Truth bomb.
So important, don't miss out on this. Hana knows trying to accomplish everything alone is virtually impossible. She doesn’t feel threatened or belittled by seeking help from others. Just like a king has an entire court to assist with daily functions, she has a support group ready to go. Mental tune-ups are their chamomile teas. She values a third party bringing out the best in her. Plus, she has someone to blab to about that epic slip-up with you-know-what at the you-know-where and stuff got real.
No matter what the circumstance is, Hana strives to understand her emotions AND own up to them. There’s no hide and seek happening with her jealousy — she lets it all out. She takes the opportunity to express herself without blaming others, and confirm that she is understood. Then, she returns the favor by listening to the other side.
While she remains strict and business-like, she is emotional underneath her self-control. However, she tends to fear showing any sign of weakness such as crying when someone's around, confessing that she likes someone, or just plainly depend on somebody.
+Fun personality fact: Hana has an eccentric (dry) humor that throws everyone off (i.e: Sleeps at times that call for drastic measures, sleeps when her brothers nag at her, anything basically eccentric.)
BACKGROUND:
Kang Hana is born on the 24th of December, year 1995 at approximately 21:03, being eleven minutes older than Wonho; making her the unspoken middle child of the Kang family. Unlike both her siblings who are very much outgoing and bubbly, she is rather reserved and calm in nature. Growing up, she has always been the middleman between Jinho and Wonho, both literally and figuratively. When their outgoing personalities clash, they turn to Hana for peace (and to force her to choose a side, which ends unsuccessful for them both).
At four years old, Hana fell inlove with a specific art, which is dance classified to ballet, hiphop and jazz; so, she asked her parents if they could enroll her to dance classes, and that they did. Exactly a week after Hana and Wonho's 6th birthday, their family transferred back to Daegu because of her father's work nature (he happens to be a University Professor back in Keio University and he got a job opportunity to teach in Kyungpook National University and he didn't let it pass.). Hana then continued her ballet classes there only now, with a different dance teacher and dance classmates. At the age of twelve, she wanted something more but not to the point that she'll abandon her craft for the past eight years (dance), so she switched to figure skating. She trained figure skating for another year and that was when she started signing up for contests. As expected of her, she bagged awards left and right. This continued on until she's fifteen years old.
Come a week before christmas (technically, a week before Hana and Wonho's sixteenth birthday), Hana's cousin, Jun, asked her to come back to Japan and continue her studies there as he misses his favorite cousin so much. And with no other words needed, Hana went back to continue her studies in Japan with her mom, leaving her father, older brother, twin brother and her bestfriend behind. She was then enrolled into Keio University as she took up pre-law (this was from the influence of the great Sho Sakurai). That's when her nickname of Snow White started. Left and right, she could get the attention of both boys and girls because not only she's the cousin of The MatsuJun, she's also active in sports in which Figure Skating is in and also, who could get pass her beauty and brains? No, she's not perfect. That's a given. She works hard for it. She trains and studies until she deems herself worthy; as what she always say 'I was born with no talent and smarts - I worked hard for all of those.'
Then came May 7, 2015...her time off from university, skating competitions, supporting ARaSHi, basically her time off of everything = SELF TIME! She opted to visit her twin brother, older brother and father in South Korea. And being that she's legal that time, she travelled alone. She got the directives from her older brother Jinho that they should meet at Seoul and that, Hana did. But what she didn't expect is that, the moment her foot (technically, her shoe), touched the Seoul soil, Jinho immediately surprised her with a flyer in hand: open auditions for Starship Ent. Everything happened so fast, Hana didn't have enough time to think. As soon as she opened to say 'excuse me oppa, but, what?', Jinho clapped his hands and exclaimed "Ah! You can do it! Here! Here! Just think of a song to audition to and once your number is called, come inside! Please Hanana, you know how we're all rooting for you! I'm sure Jun-niichan would be more than proud! Now, go!" And poof! she was gone. Sigh...what did her brother get herself into...

HABITS:
✩ Unconsciously chews on her lower lip when she's nervous.
✩ Bites her left pointer finger when in deep thought.
✩ Blinks twice slowly when she's losing her temper. Though unusual, people close to her know this trait of hers. One thing it expresses? Danger. Right brow twitches when she's trying to suppress her rising temper. Danger alert number two.

✩ She likes to bake for her brothers, who love sweets a lot.

✩ She's never seen panicking. The only instance she did, is when her brother was sent to the hospital. Turns out, his ankle was injured.
✩ She's cynical to strangers.
✩ "Lying to someone means you're looking down on them!" Has always been her defense whenever someone judges her bluntness. This was based from Nezumi in the No.6 anime.
» "People who hide their feelings usually care the most." That's how Carina responds to whoever asks her how she keeps up with Hana.
✩ Hana from the start seems cold. quiet, serious and emotionless but she can be very sweet and soft on the inside, although she doesn't show her sweet side as often.
✩ Since she doesn't talk much, she bakes for the people she cherishes as a sign of her affection to them and hands it to them with no words said; if they're close to her, they should already know what that means. (Her brothers abuse this. "Hanana~ I feel like I want to eat Banana Cake tomorrow" "Hanana~, I've been craving for carrot cake..." etc.)
RELATIONSHIPS:
✩ Older Brother & Fraternal Twin Brother - Kang Jinho (26) & Kang Wonho (21-turning 22 in December) (Matsumoto Ryo & Matsumoto Reijiro) / Licensed Architect. & University student taking up Civil Engineering in Kyungpook National University / Outgoing, Bubbly but has a deep personality that manifests once in a while when called for & Gentle, Clingy (to Hana), flat-out honest and you could say he's a social butterfly / closeness: Both 9 out of 10
interactions: "What are you doing? You're getting too close to Hana! Move away! Move away!" Jinho is the usual overprotective older brother although he knows that Hana could handle herself well, as per her mature personality. But then there's his cute personality (he plays with rubber ducks, how's that?) that Hana secretly loves but doesn't tell him. Overall, he's the perfect brother in Hana's eyes. He made the statement 'I'm only one call away' a fact. | Despite being younger than Hana (even if for only a few minutes), Wonho dotes on Hana so much that it's sometimes sickening (to Hana's point of view). He's overly greasy and acts as a mother to Hana.
✩ Cousin - Matsumoto Jun (34) / Japanese idol in a boyband called ARaSHi (1999-Present), singer, actor, and radio host / Sweet, Over-over protective and encouraging / closeness: 10 out of 10
interactions: MatsuJun is the real-deal older brother figure in Hana's life. It's not weird when he's spamming her inbox with "Where are you? What are you doing? Did you eat already? Who are you with? Please keep yourself safe!" messages. In fact, it seems as though it's been a routine for him already to check up on his favorite cousin everyday. He likes to spoil her both with material things and his time (despite his very busy schedule). Whatever happens, Hana knows she always has her onii-chan's back.
✩ Best friend - Kim Taehyung (21) / Member of South-Korean Boygroup BTS, Actor / Extrovert, 4Dimensional, Out-of-this-world, Eccentric, Plain unique / closeness: 15 out of 10
When Hana's family moved out from Tokyo, Japan and into Daegu, South Korea...they happened to be neighbors with the Kims, Taehyung being their son. Their first meeting was when Hana was watching the movers walk in and out of their place carrying endless boxes while Taehyung, the little boy, bounded down towards the silent little girl. He then introduced himself with that box smile of his' being his permanent grin and automatically claimed that the two of them were going to be 'best friends forever!' and Hana hadn't exactly objected to that idea...nor did she agree. While Taehyung was an outgoing, eccentric little fluff ball of sunshine, Hana was quite the oppoiste; the shy and reserved princess. He was always into dangerous or stupid stuffs, or both at the same time, and Hana's always there to save him before he got hurt...or get caught. Yes, the two of them were completely polar opposites but that worked just fine. From that first day the ever bouncing kid Taehyung met the silent Hana, they have always been by each other's side, even more than Hana and Wonho. When Hana moved back to Tokyo on her sixteenth day, Taehyung literally threw a dramatic temper and swore up and down to not contact Hana at all because "She's leaving me! Me! Her bestfriend forever! From this day on, I will never talk to her and I don't know her anymore!' But guess who called the minute Hana her phone as they landed in Japan? That's right. Kim Taehyung.
✩ Friend - Carina Irwin (20) / - / Brave, Blunt, Hardworking and charming / closeness: 7out of 10
interactions: She wouldn't say they're 'stick to each other, ROD' friends, but Hana can say that she gets the ropes of Carina's personality - seeing as it's somehow, even just a teeny bit, identical to hers. They're not really bestfriend close but to Hana, Carina is the closest to her from the group as the younger girl understands and knows her personality better than anyone else. (Furthermore, they share a mutual respect towards each other and know the boundaries.)
Though Carina and Hana are not of the same age, Carina is one of the very few who understands how Hana's personality works. She's the member Hana deems to be closest to her and whenever Hana feels like she needs to unwind without talking too much, she seeks company through the younger girl. And knowing how quick-witted and intelligent the younger girl could be, Hana finds herself always regaining her nerves back whenever Carina opens to simply talk.
✩ Friend - Jackson Wang (23) / Hong Kong rapper, singer, and dancer based in South Korea. He is a member of the South Korean boy group GOT7 under JYP Entertainment / Fun, caring, selfless and very loud / closeness: 8 out of 10
interactions: Oh god, how can one even describe a Jackson Wang?
Hana met Jackson in pure coincidence - at Narita Airport's duty free that time she moved from Korea to Japan. See, the poor guy thought he was well-disguised but turns out, he's not. And so, his fans who are inside the duty free as well, turned to...chase him. Lucky for him, Hana knows just what to do (given that she's the cousin of a very famous personality in Japan), she grabbed him out of nowhere and pretended as if they're long time friend, which didn't go unnoticed by Jakcson, as he picks up on things quite well.
And so, with the knowledge that the famous cousin of Matsumoto Jun is related to Jackson Wang, the fans dispersed. Hey, perks of being related to a very respected person in Japan, yeah?
After the fans left, Hana turned to leave and that's when Jackson practically begged for her number all of a sudden. Everybody knows the extent of Jackson's curiosity. When he gets curious, he grabs all chance he gets so he could quench his curiousness. It just so happened that this girl from the airport intrigued him.
For Hana, it was a petty encounter - you know, saving an idol's and all that, but turns out, Jackson's not so bad. He actually tickled Hana's fancy, which doesn't happen a lot.

LAST COMMENT: Hi! As an applyfic writer myself, I see to it that the ones I apply to are...well, interesting. And this particularly piqued my interest. I hope you like Hana! :)
SCENE REQUEST:
✩ Hana and Carina disguised at a cafe when a fan snapped pictures of them, causing them the first 'pairing' to be shipped within the group, much to their chagrin - and that ship name they made? 2Na, which sounds like Tuna?! Nah, they're good. They're done.
