[ Kim Dalrim ] is [ Artemis ] of Olympus

Kim Dalrim

Artemis — Demeter — Finally_Home — Maggie — 9/10

the bare basics

FULL NAME — Kim Dalrim

NICKNAMES —
— Moonie - well, 'dal' means moon in Korean (at least, I think...), and Artemis is the goddess of the moon
— - okay, ONLY Sunwoo (Apollo) uses this one, and it makes her really mad (obviously)... so don't use it too much XD

BIRTHDAY & AGE — May 30th, 1995 (23)

ETHNICITY — Korean

BIRTHPLACE & HOMETOWN — BP: Delos; HT: Athens (so basically, we have a scene where ppl asking them where they're born, and Sunwoo blurts out "GREECE" so Dalrim saves it by saying that their parents were Korean ambassadors to Greece lol)

LANGUAGES —
— Greek: fluent - obviously
— Korean: mostly fluent - it'd be weird if they weren't, but even so, there are some historical references and idioms that they don't get yet
— English: semi-fluent - international language, anyone?

FACE CLAIM & BACKUP — EXID's Solji // gugudan's Sejeong

APPEARANCE — Dalrim is considered fairly tall, at 170 cm. She's skinny, although not unhealthily so, and has a myriad of scars across her skin, including a prominent jagged one on the back of her right hand. Her hair is dyed orange, but more faded than what's in the picture.

STYLE — Dalrim doesn't really care what she wears, style and colors be damned. As long as she's comfortable and doesn't look like a hobo, it's probably fine. This leads to her wearing some really strange things, like double denim and clashing colors... Or at least, that's what she says. Truth be told, even if she might not care, Dalrim has a pretty good taste in clothes, and she often wears bold, scandalous outfits that show off her body.

(honestly, Hyerin's style is probably more like Dalrim's lol)

lift the veil

ISFP; Gemini; Gryffindor —
(+) adventurous, patient, resourceful, focused, protective
(~) ambitious, clever
(–) careless, blunt, cold, insensitive, passive

PERSONALITY —
Dalrim is always up for an adventure. She'll be the first to suggest doing something daring, risky, or even borderline illegal. She knows how to have fun, obviously, and is a ntural leader. However, she does have her limits and won't do anything that'll hurt people, and if they get in trouble, Dalrim is the first to speak up and take responsibility. She's also patient and willing to explain things to people, which causes a lot of people to line up to get tutoring from her lol. Not that she wants to be a tutor, but she's pretty resourceful. She recognizes opportunities and takes them as they come (she legit charges a dollar for a single minute of tutoring). When Dalrim focuses on something, she focuses on it. There will be times where she'll neglect food or sleep for something she's really passionate about, whether it be studying (she doesn't really need to study) or games or anything, really. It has its drawbacks, but hey, she gets a lot out of it. She's also the protective mom friend, always nagging her friends to take better care of themselves. If anyone threatens them, she'll stick up for them and is always ready to fite^TM.

Dalrim's very smart; she knows how to work her way around life, around people, and she won't hesitate to use shady techniques to get what she wants. Of course, she doesn't usually need to use such techniques, and she's just plain smart then. She's also quite ambitious and wants to do her best. She seeks to rise to power (in the human world, of course) and become a great leader (as if she's not already lol). Of course this has its drawbacks, but one of the greatest advantages is that Dalrim is a very good leader.

Dalrim can be quite careless with her words and, less often, actions. She unintentionally hurts people around her if she's not being careful, but thankfully, she usually is. Dalrim's a patient person, but if she's really ticked off, she can be blunt as . Sometimes she just has a no-nonsense streak, where everything out of is completely honest. She sometimes doesn't even care, honestly. It's not her fault, not her responsibility, so she doesn't give a . This has led people to call her passive and insensitive, and it's true, Dalrim won't give a single about feelings and other people sometimes. But that's sometimes, when she's really pissed off. More often than not, she'll just ignore you. Even when she's not mad, Dalrim needs her personal space, and she can't be around people for too long, needing time to recharge. Some people don't understand this, so they'll assume she's just cold to everyone, which isn't true at all.

HELLO, LOVELIES

Zeus — 6 / Meh, it's fine. She's not too close with her dad, but they're on amiable terms, and he trusts her with her life (and especially to take care of Sunwoo).

Poseidon — 7 / They're rivals of a sort, with Dalrim connecting with nature on land and Poseidon in the sea, but they're friendly enough.

Hades — 3 / What can she say? She just doesn't like him all too much. Too much death for her liking.

Ares — 5 / He's okay... really too violent, but he doesn't really bother her, so it's fine (until he destroys nature for war)

Apollo — 10 / He's her brother, of course she loves him. He's way too whiny and clingy, and taking care of him is like taking care of a three year old, but he's honestly the only one she really hangs out with.

Athena — 8 / She's like, a friendly rival. Sure, sometimes they'll be too much for each other, snarking away, but Athena's one of her best friends.

Aphrodite — 5 / Aphrodite's not... bad? She's a bit muchc for Dalrim since they literally don't have anything in common, but then again, they don't have much need to interact.

Demeter — 8 / Demeter is another one of Artemis's girl buddies since they're both naturey. Demeter's way too careful though lol the girl doesn't know how to have fun!

it's a love story (so baby, just say yes)

FULL NAME — Lee Haejung

FACECLAIM — Shinhwa's Shin Hyesung :"))) i love my man
BACK-UP FACELCAIM — Teen Top's Ricky (but i doubt anyone's gonna use shinhwa in the first place lol)

BIRTHDAY & AGE — November 27th, 1979 (39)

ISFJ; Scorpio; Hufflepuff — The awkward genius who can't manage to fit in with his peers

PERSONALITY — Haejung is quiet, the kind of person who isn't used to being in the spotlight. It's odd, then, how he became a professor. He's been teased for his feminine-sounding name, but Haejung seems to not care. In reality, he bottles up his emotions until they finally erupt, usually with bad consequences. He's awkward, painfully shy, but once you get to know him, he's probably the weirdest person you'll ever meet. Haejung has an odd sense of humor, the kind that most kids or teenagers have, and he'll giggle at anything he sees. He pretends not to care about anything, anyone, but that's just his traditionalist Korean roots at work; in fact, he cares too much about just about anything, anyone. He can't express his emotions very well (obviously), but he makes up for it in actions. He notices the small stuff, the habits and tics that usually go unnoticed, and maybe that's why you fell in love with him.
* Yo I'm sorry it's like 1:17 am and finals week and I'm like stress extreme I partly wrote this for myself as well XD so pls excuse

RELATIONSHIP — Get ready for a long story, because it's long.

When Dalrim enrolled in that biochemistry class, she didn't expect to have such a cute professor. The second the man walked into the auditorium, Dalrim knew. She'd already seen through him. This man was a genius. The only problem was that, first off, he didn't know it, but also, he was terrible at speaking. Ums and uhs and yeahs everywhere... Dalrim didn't even know if she could graduate, listening to him! After precisely two classes, she stayed behind to talk to him.

"Professor Lee, was it?" she asked, and the man looked up, startled. He pushed his glasses up and smiled nervously.

"Y-yes, Miss... Kim Dalrim?"

Honest to gods, Dalrim was surprised. She'd never met any teacher who'd bothered to match faces to names. Damn, he was even smarter than she thought.

"Yes." She drew her bag closer to her body. "Well, you see, I couldn't help but notice that you perhaps need to brush up on your public speaking skills. Not to offend you, of course, but you stutter a lot."

And that's how Dalrim landed herself in a teaching position. Teaching a teacher. It wasn't much, just an hour or so each day during his office hours, but as time passed, they grew closer. He grew less awkward, and she... well, grew even bolder?

Technically, now, Artemis is not allowed to have a lover, and honestly, it hurts her. How can she resist this man in front of her, eyes sparkling as he talks about the specifics of how plants convert light into sugar? How can she resist him as he laughs, eyes and nose crinkling up like a child, when she makes a terrible joke about life? How can she possibly resist him, as he looks down at that picture of his deceased wife with a soft, lingering pain? The man's a genius, she knows, and charming as all Tartarus, but she can't have him, can't have him at all.

Nonetheless, she helps him, stays by his side, watches like a proud mother as his speech improves, and he lectures smoothly about metabolism or whatever. Dalrim already knows the content, but she stays in the class, and the small, knowing smiles he gives her makes it all worthwhile, even if it does pain her.

They become friends, drinking together sometimes. Dalrim is a good drinker. He, not so much. After a few shots, he's sprawled out, on the table, on the chair, tears sliding down his face, mumbling thickly about his wife, his daughter, dead in the womb, his best friends, his family, his life, and Dalrim listens to him, throwing back her own drinks, listens silently as the time ticks by (tick tock tick tock), and at once, a sudden pall of serenity embraces the bar, and Haejung falls asleep. Dalrim reaches out, gently, hesitantly, to push the hair off his forehead. These are the only times in which she can be true to herself, say for certain that 'yes, I love this man'. This is the only time in which she can call his name, 'Lee Haejung', without fear of being heard, seen, heard. Alcohol does wonders.

And so she stays.

(did you get all my shin hyesung references :3)

STATUS — one-sided love (painful painful)

ENDING — I'd very much like it if they did end up together, of course XD but given Artemis's predicament... unlikely? Here's the thing: I want Haejung to move on from his wife. His wife died in a car crash ten years ago, pregnant with their unborn daughter, and he's been unable to move on ever since. His friends (the rest of Shinhwa lol) have tried everything, but he refuses. He can either move on, or not. THey can either end up together, or not. Personally, I'd prefer one of two endings:
1. He falls in love with Dalrim, but because of her Artemis duties, she can't have him, and she spurns him cruelly. He's devastated, but then Sunwoo comes over and explains why, and he resolves to stay just a good friend forever.
2. They fall in love with each other, no such Artemis duties, get married, have kids, Percy Jackson blah blah XD
BUT I'M BEING BOSSY ;;; pls do whatever you feel fits the story XD

THE INTERVIEW

Q1: How did you feel when Hades left his responsibility and went to Earth?
What. An. . Dude, just it up? There are other people who are severely affected, so leaving them to deal with your is just an move.

Q2: Are you and Hades close?
Wouldn't say that. We don't talk much. Don't need to.

Q3: What would you say to Hades once you found him face to face?
Well, first off, I'd punch him. In the nuts. And then I would slap him. In the face. And then we can talk. In any case, probably something like "what the are you doing, don't you know what's happening up there? All hell's gone loose you and I'm dragging you back up there". (Goddammit LJoe XD)

Q4: It is stated that no God nor Goddess is allowed to stay on Earth just to be with their mortal lover. What would you do?
I have no problem with that.

* What she wants to say: "Of course not. I can visit him as I do my duty, as I hunt. I'll be fine." (but will shE?)

Q5: Would you risk everything for your mortal lover?
...I have no lover.

* What she wants to say is, "Yes, of course. He's been through so much, deserves so much more. I would give him the world, and more."

Q6: Would you tell your mortal lover the truth that you are an Olympian God/Goddess?
...not applicable.

* Again, we're operating under that she's got her Artemis duties lol. What she wants to say: "I think it would be best to leave him to his own terms, I mean, look what happened last time..." (that would be Orion lol)

THE FINALE

QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS? — omggg i literally wrote this under the circumstance that she has her artemis duties and the vow that they can't take up any lovers!! I'm not sure if that even applies in this world ;;; but yeah that was the main "given" variable behind this entire scene... also I collaborated with marshybleep on this! As a side note, I didn't know what the other gods' personalities were supposed to be like, so I wrote whatever for the relations lol feel free to change them as needed!

SCENE SUGGESTIONS —
— SUNWOO AND DALRIM ING AROUND LOL
— Painful love >:))
— If the #girlgodsquad is applicable, they should totally just hang around and gossip
— Dalrim x Sejeong :DD
