POUR UP A DRINK, ASTRID!
LIN, ASTRID
LIN, ASTRID
wild and free is what astrid wants to believe she is. however, astrid's just a kid, in her short, kid-like body... she enjoys playing around, still drinks juice boxes, and is terrified of growing up. but as lame and childish as that sounds, you can always count on astrid for anything. her sense of loyalty is unrivaled, and her love for her friends go almost as deep as her love for moomin, so there's that. astrid, in marks own words, is a fun onion with many different layers and personality.

NICKNAMES
˗ˏˋJACK OF ALL TRADES | a nickname used by her volleyball peers for her being a versatile player and used as an all rounder in the volleyball team. it pretty much means she's above average at all aspects of the sport, but her position/strength is defense.
˗ˏˋTHUMBELINA | s like ryan always pokes fun at her shorter stature. it's a nickname that ryan always likes to with, and astrid learned to adopt it as a second name because it's impossible for ryan to not about being "freakishly small".
NUMERICS (04/20) 19, second year
HOMETOWN chicago, illinois
ETHNICITY chinese
NATIONALITY chinese-american
LANGUAGES
˗ˏˋ ENGLISH NATIVE | having been born and raised in america, it's her native language.
˗ˏˋ CHINESE SEMI-FLUENT | to be fair, the only time she visited china was in elementary school, for a big family reunion, so she doesn't know much about the culture. she only knows the things her mom and dad taught her, or things she picked up from the variety shows her mom constantly watched.
BODY
FACECLAIM song yuqi (g-idle)
BACKUP mei qi (cosmis girls)
FASHION
EVERYDAY!
astrid likes to spend most of her money on clothing. so, while her closet is filled with authentic high brand clothes, her refrigerator has yet to be filled since her last visit from her dad.
VBALL!
when she's not wearing her over the top 'fits, she sports simple outfits, like joggers and a tshirt, for when she has practice or workout.

SCROLL ⟶
PERSONALITY it's not hard to interpret astrid. she wears her heart on her sleeve and says what's on her mind so she's not the type to give people mixed signals. she's really easy to befriend and has an outgoing personality that's roaring with life and humor. and to be honest, astrid's that one underclassmen that all upperclassmen with. she's also very dedicated to things she loves. like volleyball, her friends, and her studies. perhaps it's because the university life hasn't taint her yet, but she's a pretty innocent girl. she's very traditional in terms of romance ("no kissing until we're dating!" and "no until marriage!"), and likes to limit her alcohol intake. drugs are a big no-no! ironic for a girl born in 4/20, though.
as kind and innocent as she seems, astrid's a pretty eccentric girl in her own way. she says and does weird things, but you'll learn to understand her. she's also very lenient, perhaps because of her kind character. she trusts way too easily and can be fooled by anyone. her beliefs are also very old fashioned, some say (i.e, her take on relationships), and she's a little close minded about certain things. she's not as adventurous as she seems and prefers to play things safe.
TRIVIA
↪︎ has the best meme collection in all of ucm and is willing to fight for that title.
↪︎ comes from a broken family. her parents were also soulmates, but it didn't end well, obviously. she stayed with her dad because her mom wanted to move back to china, but she wanted to stay + she kind of hates her.
↪︎ a habit she developed in highschool was checking if any of her friends drugged her birthday cake.
↪︎ as a volleyball player, her height has always been a topic of debate. when a girl that can almost walk under the nets enter the court, it's a little nonthreatning. but she learned to use it to her advantage. she's good at holding down the fort, playing mostly defense. in her freshman year, she was trained by the previous libero to take over her spot after she graduates, so she now currently plays as the libero.
↪︎ people usually ask why she joined kasa if she's not a fan of the drinking culture, but she reasons that "you don't need to be intoxicated to have fun!!" which, in all fairness, is true. she joined the club to make new friends and broaden her social network because being stuck with mark for so long is slowly killing her brain cells.
↪︎ attends ucm through a full ride atheltic scholarship. she works hard as a student athlete (majoring in mechanical engineer).
↪︎ at first she wanted to go pro in volleyball, like most of her teammates in highschool. but she was also interested physics and tech stuff, so she chose to pursue both. she'll continue to play volleyball in college, and maybe after, but she chose to pursue a career in mechanical engineering.
QUOTES
↪︎ "damn i feel like i could accidentally summon a demon just by pronouncing some makeup products."
↪︎ "i was taking a nap while mark was losing his mind over finals lol."
↪︎ "look, astrid, this milk is fat free." "yeah right, they're just about as fat free as me."
↪︎ "aye mark do you want banana nut muffins." "bananas can nut?" "you know what? im keeping my damn muffins."
↪︎ "aye mark do you want banana nut muffins." "bananas can nut?" "you know what? im keeping my damn muffins."
↪︎ "which idiot named spider man peter parker instead of peter parkour."
↪︎ "my horoscope told me not to go out today so that's exactly what i'm doing."
↪︎ "ayo mark, if i murder you, it'd be called homiecide."
SOULMATE INFO once upon a time, astrid was the biggest supporter of soulmates. she couldn't wait 'til she turned 18 and wanted to marry them when she met them. however, she was welcomed with a rude a awakening. around her sophomore year in high school, her mom cheated on her dad, who was her soulmate. since then, she's condenmed soulmates and wants nothing to do with hers. but, when her soulmate first messaged her (and it was a weird message, on top of that), the hopeless romantic in her couldn't help but reply. after that, she'd scarcely message her soulmate.

IN THE LIFE OF ASTRID while astrid's schedule may seem jam-packed due to being a student athlete (even more, studying in ucm through a full ride athletic scholarship), she manages her time just fine. her schedule does slightly changes between off season and on, the most drastic being that she has to go to morning practices everyday as well as night practice, and having to travel around for her games. when she's not in class or in practice, she enjoys hanging out with her friends, or attend some of the parties or kickbacks at ucm.

MARK LEE!
MARK LEE!
SOPHOMORE, BEST FRIEND joint at hips is the best way to explain their frienship. before being one of the 'cool guys' or being the cutest guy in their high school, mark was a skinny 4 foot kid that transferred to astrid's elementary school. mark was scrawny, for a third grader, and that made him a walking target for all the mean kids. so when three bigger, and scarier fourth graders thought it was fun to tease the new kid, astrid, in all her childhood innocense, clocked one of the boys straight in the nose. had it not been for astrid being at the wrong place at the wrong time, the two may have never met. but astrid's glad it happened, where she met, mark lee, her current best friend. sure, they may argue like cats and dogs now, but they do love each other (in a purely platonic way).
mark's a design & digital media major, also a part of pi alpha pi and a dj for the ucm broadcasting station (he's a secret dork for music).

EDWARD PARK!
EDWARD PARK!
SENIOR, KASA BIG edward always wanted a little sister, so when astrid came along with those "big doey eyes", edward was immedietly charmed. he volunteered whole heartedly during his junior year to be her big, and she practically became his adopted sister. however, astrid grew very fond of edward in a different way. she had a secret crush on him during her freshman year. it was super personal, to the point that not even mark knows, and he knows everything about her! she grew out the phase on her own during the summer before her sophomore year, choosing that it's smarter to not pursue something more and possibly ruin a good friendship, especially when he's about to leave ucm anyways.

DANIEL JEON!
DANIEL JEON!
SOPHOMORE, FRIEND no one really knows how such an odd pair became as close as they are, but the two bonded over their shared interest in physics and midnight coffee runs while trying to finish a project that was supposed to be turned in three hours prior. they coincidentally sat next to each other during one of their class in freshman year, and found out that they have a few other classes together. they ended up exchanging numbers, and the rest is history. to this day they constantly hang up and even work on projects together, but it's pretty safe to say that their friendship goes beyond the "classmate" relationship astrid was going for.

HAZEL SOHN!
HAZEL SOHN!
JUNIOR, FRIEND astrid initially wanted to steer clear of hazel after meeting her in kasa. she seemed intimidating and she wasn't a big fun of how she always got ing plastered whenever she saw her. but after spending enough time with her *sober*, astrid learned that she was way too harsh on that judgement. hazel was like the cool upperclassmen friend every underclassmen wants, and she's always so energetic that it rubs off on her when they're together. although, astrid sees a lot more of her than she would've bargained for, since eliza is her roommate and the two girls were so close, it was almost like hazel visits her everyday.

ELIZA KIM!
ELIZA KIM!
SOPHOMORE, ROOMMATE as someone entering a completely new environment, astrid felt nervous about her dorm situation. she never was comfortable around other girls, and mark's the only good friend she knows at the time, so that meant she was going to stick out like a sore thumb. but, astrid was pleased when she found out that one of her roommates was an angel in disguise. the transition to college was easier with someone like eliza as your roommate. out of the three other girls she shares a room with, eliza's definitely the one she's closest with. there are many times eliza helped her with some of her school work, and astrid does what she can to return the favor. however, eliza doesn't really appreciate astrid constantly stealing her banana milk......

NAME ryan koo
NICKNAMES
˗ˏˋ BIGFOOT | to be fair, if ryan had a nickname to make fun of her height, it's only right she has one for him. it's a reference to his tall height, and also because he's "ape-like", just like the myth.
NUMERICALS (3/31) 19, second year
STUDENT majoring in communcations, member of pi alpha pi & current events
PERSONALITY ryan is everything astrid was taught to avoid. a guy that goes clubbing more than he goes to class, constantly in a drunken (or high) state, almost never sober, and sleeps around like it's no ones business. he's a dangerously charming guy that could snake his way into a girls pants when she gets caught off guard, and astrid despises that. but despite being such a "wild and cool" guy, astrid has learned that there's at least some shining qualities in him.
for one, he's a good friend. he may have been a total to all his exes, but his sense of loyalty to his friends is unrivaled. he's also a pretty rambunctious guy, giving life to almost all the parties, along with daniel jeon. he's weak to to people pleading to him, so he's fairly kind when it comes to giving favors. he's also serious in his major. asides from that, astrid still dislikes his character.
*he's pretty much what you guys want to write him as? like a fboi and cool frat dude LOL
TRIVIA
↪︎ backup: daniel kang
↪︎ his bestfriend is daniel jeon, and astrid likes to call them 'dumb and dumber
↪︎ also, he met astrid through daniel. they met in a class, and daniel introduced them
↪︎ kind of had a crush on astrid already, prior to finding out she's his s*ulmate
↪︎ there were rumors of him cheating on his ex clara, but it was something she spread to make it look like he didn't totally dump her.
↪︎ lives in under and is roommates with daniel (*or not, depending on if someone applied to be his r/m already)
↪︎ according to landon, ryan's like the regina george's male alter ego. he's super y and sarcastic to a lot of people.
RELATIONSHIP TRIVIA
↪︎ at first, astrid deeply despised him. something about his "way of living" ticked her off, how he's always drinking, always off ing a girl, or just being an .
↪︎ this resulted in the two constantly butting heads. it was incessant, and was way worse during their freshman year. they cooled down during their sophomore year.
↪︎ they were friends, to a certain extent. astrid defintely wasn't too fond of him, but their relationship became more love-hate.
↪︎ after becoming an official couple, it shocked astrid when he actually basically shunned every girl on campus, or just in general. with the exception of his mom, of course.
↪︎ imagine hazel's shock when she tried talking to him and he dipped liked, "sorry, dude, im finna blast."
↪︎ astrid had to fix that and tell him he's being stupid, but it was nice seeing him be so dedicated to his promise.
↪︎ also he was never like this in any of his previous relationships, but he gets jealous, like what??
↪︎ he didnt like mark being near her, even edward sometimes, and was always so sassy when another guy hits on her.
A STORY TOLD THROUGH SONGS FROM 1D'S "TAKE ME HOME" ALBUM
if ur not as lame as u seem to be, then will i see u at the kasa party tonight? ;)
I've been watchin' you all night There's somethin' in your eyes, Say c'mon, c'mon, And dance with me baby - c'mon c'mon
Ryan's eyes trails after the short girl walking in, and a devilish smile finds its way to his face. Shoving the pen quickly in his pocket and pulling his sleeve down, he approaches the girl with a mischiveous intent. "Hey thumbelina, still as tall as a fifth grader?" Ryan teases, trying to ignore the small voice in his brain telling him how she looks really good in that new crop top, and how her smile was enough to light up the dim and crowded living room filled with drunk students. His heart skips a beat as he watches her eyes trail up to meet his, the familiar fire that only the Astrid Lin has making contact with his orbs.
"Oh hey Ryan, still a ?" Astrid snarks back at the much taller boy. "Don't you have plans to go, like, I dunno, another poor, innocent girl?" She bats her lashes to add to the effect, but Ryan simply laughs at her insult. "You'd be surprised at how quickly those poor, innocent girls turn not-so-innocent once they're in bed with me. Would you care to sample it?"
Ryan winces as he feels a sharp sting on his left foot, looking down to find her small foot pressed on top of it. "In your dreams, Ryan Koo." He lets out another laugh as she walks away, holding up a rude finger.
"Ha. Stop being a lose, -trid. Wanna dance with me?" Ryan flashes a charming grin, but it immedietly drops as he watches her roll her eyes and walk off to Mark. She whips her head back, cupping with her hands and shouts over the booming music, " you, Ryan Poo!"
She's not afraid of all the attention, She's not afraid of running wild, How come she's so afraid of falling in love? - SHE'S NOT AFRAID
Edward flinches as he watches Astrid dive to the floor for what felt like the tenth time that set. The crowd of fellow dolphins sporting the school colors cheers as the ball flies to the air once more, and Edward could even hear the setter claiming the ball before it's sent to the opposing team's court, bouncing violently as one of the refs adds the point to UCM's scoreboard. From where he was seated, or perhaps even the whole court, he could hear Astrid's loud cheers, high fiving the spiker and jumping up and down like a hyper active kid. "She stands out, huh?"
Edward's focus on the team's celebration was interrupted as he comes face to face with Ryan, Daniel, Landon, and the kid he sees always trailing around Astrid, close behind. "Sorry, we're not too late are we?" Landon grins, sqeezing through the bleachers and apologizing to some irritated spectators. "Daniel couldn't decide if he wanted the chilly cheese dog or the popcorn." Daniel gasps, clearly offended.
"Uh, excuse me, the snacks you get before the game are always, always, an important decision. You don't just around when it comes to what you have to eat while sitting and watching sweaty people play sports!" Ryan shoves a handful of popcorn in his mouth to shut him up, rolling his eyes and scoffing at his friend. "Yeah but you took ten minutes staring at the ing menu like someone was asking you to pick between your mom or your dad."
"Oh my god, shut up, the second set is starting!" The two bickering boys halt as they see the players taking position again. "Whoo! Go Astrid!" Mark cheers, jumping up and down, earning a few glares from the coaches and refs. Astrid looks up and sends a wink up their section, and Ryan swears she couldn't have been any more attractive.
Despite admiring her from the safe distance, Ryan squints, looking at Astrid's exposed arms and spotting an oddly familiar drawing. He lifts his sleeve up, glancing back and forth between the multiple doodles of squidward on his right arm, and the similar looking ones on hers as well. Ryan looks up in realization. "Oh. My. ing. God."
"Astrid, hold on!" Astrid looks back and spots Ryan Koo, jogging up to her with his long legs. Astrid complies, but not without rolling her eyes. "What? I'm pretty tired from the game, so like," Ryan catches up to her, panting. "God you walk fast for someone so freakishly small." Astrid huffs in annoyance, starting to walk away.
"Okay wait! I need to tell you something." Ryan holds onto her wrist, but lets go in order to pull up his sleeve. "Astrid, I think we're soulmates."
She spots the familiar squidward doodles, and even the message she wrote that morning and forgot to erase. After gaping at his arm for a few minutes, almost like she was trying to burn holes into it.
"I-" Astrid starts, but she's too distraught to even form a proper sentence. "You what?" Ryan asks, with a hopeful glint in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Ryan. I'm not interested in soulmates - or dating in general. Bye." She walked away before Ryan could even say a word, and he stands in the same spot for a few minutes, trying to gather his thoughts.
stop ing doodling on ur arm i literally look like a ing coloring book
hey can you please just talk to me now? meet me at so dwe mul tonight, please astrid
Heartache doesn't last forever, I'll say I'm fine, Midnight ain't no time for laughing, When you say goodbye - Irresistible
"Maybe this was a bad idea." Astrid thinks to herself as she stands in front of So Dwe Mul, just inches away from the door. She turns around to leave, but a compelling pull in her mind tells her to just go inside, so she did.
It wasn't hard to spot Ryan in his 6 foot glory, and as much as Astrid wants to hate him, she can't deny that he's an attractive guy. Nevertheless, she stares at him, planted on the ground, thinking how he looks good with his hair gelled up, and how the color of his red jacket looks good on him.
Her staring came to an end when he looks up, meeting her stare. He sends her a small smile, not as confident, but just as charming as the ones he has when he hits on other girls. Astrid smiles back and finally makes her way to the table.
"Thanks for coming," Ryan mutters awkwardly, "uh, do you want to order something?" He gestures over to the menu.
"No, Ryan, I think you should say what you want to say now." Ryan looks down in disappointment, but he expected this. She always has been straightforward, no matter how irritating it could get.
"Well, you know, about the, uh...soulmate thing. Just," Ryan exhales, trying to calm his bundle of nerves, "I want to give us, a shot."
Astrid rapidly blinks, staring at him with the same shocked look in her eyes when he first confessed he was her soulmate. "I know, I don't have the best track record, but I've sorta had a thing for you since like, freshman year. And that's weird - I know, but I'm willing to give us a shot, Astrid."
He looks at her with so much hope and desperation in his eyes that it's making Astrid kind of dumbfounded. But, she still speaks up. "Ryan, I told you. I just, I don't do dating. And no offense, but especially not with someone like you. You've basically ed half of AKDphi, broke girls' hearts like they were toys, and I heard you cheated on Clara last year. I don't think I want to be with someone like, like - that."
"I can change, , I'll stop talking to any girl, for like, my whole life. Just, don't give up on us when we haven't even started yet." He was borderline begging, and he's contemplating whether or not he should go down on his knees and beg. Astrid stands up from the table, knocking the chair down.
"Sorry, Ryan. Please don't contact me again. And I mean, through text, IG, or through our arms. Goodbye."
Truly, madly, deeply, I am Foolishly completely falling, And somehow you kicked all my walls in, So baby say you’ll always keep me, Truly, madly, crazy, deeply in love with you - T.M.D
Astrid sighs as she places down the marker, rushing down the bathroom the moment she wrote it on her arm. Maybe it was a little selfish, but she didn't want to involve herself in Daniel nor Eliza's business, but the moment she saw the comment section from Daniel's post blow over with Hazel's harsh insults, Astrid kind of felt like she wanted to at least console someone.
She just doesn't know why she picked Ryan, of all the people involved. She silently prays Ryan didn't see it, and hops back down to her bed, where Eliza sat almost too quietly. "El, do you maybe wanna grab something to eat?" Her friend looks up from her books she's been so desperately trying to dive in to, and Astrid couls almost feel the sadness in her eyes. "I'm good, thank you, though."
"Hey, El. I'm sure it's not my place. Or anyone's place, at that, but I think that there are thing you and Daniel need to talk over." She smiles, sitting down beside Eliza. "I know, but I don't think Daniel does. I think I really, really like him, Astrid."
"Try telling him?" Astrid tries to advice, but to be fair, her only experience in romance was when she was crushing on Edward. "I got rejected before I even tried." Eliza pouts and hugs her pillow close to her body.
"Well -" A loud bang on their door interrupts Astrid, followed by an all too familiar voice. "Astrid! Open the door!" Three more loud bangs followed, and Astrid could even hear other people in their floor opening their doors. ", tell him I'm not here!"
Astrid scrambles to hide under her bed. "You know, Astrid, for someone trying to give me relationship advice, yours isn't so good." Eliza smiles. She grabs Astrid's hand, pulling her up before she could fully hide under the bed. "Talk to him. Trust me, as someone that got rejected by her soulmate, you owe it to him to at least tell him why."
"Astrid, open the door, please." Ryan's voice wasn't as raspy and harsh as it was, this time it was almost desperate. "Okay." Astrid whispers, dusting herself off and mutters a small 'thank you' to Eliza, who smiles in return.
"Hey." Astrid catches sight of Ryan when she opens the door. He doesn't look as confident and clean as he usually does, only sporting a hoodie and basketball shorts, and prominent eye bags under his eyes, a small souvineir from his nights of staying up thinking about her.
"I saw what you wrote." Ryan mumbles, looking down at the much shorter girl. "Okay." Astrid nods as if to tell him to keep going. "I'm not alright. I haven't been, since you rejected me. Twice, actually." Astrid looks down, up, everywhere except his eyes. "And I don't give a about what Hazel said, I deserve it. But Astrid, ever since I met you, I've been trying to shape up. Did you know that?" His statement made Astrid look up, finally meeting his eyes.
"I didn't know it until I found out you're my soulmate, but I stopped going to clubs with the other guys. I stopped trying to pick up a girl to hook up with nearly every night, hell, I stopped looking at other girls." Ryan inhales sharply, ready to throw out the word he's yet to say to anyone. "That's because I think I'm in love with you, Astrid. Only you." Astrid was caught off guard, flinching back when she hears it. She takes a good look around them, and finds that there was a small crowd circling around them.
"I - not here, Ryan." She drags him in her room, finally stepping out of the door way. Eliza takes this as her cue to leave, walking out the door as soon as they walked in. Astrid mentally thanks her other roommates for being out. "I told you my answer." He smiles, but it Astrid can see that it doesn't exactly reach his eyes. "I know, but I just wanted to let you know."
"Thank you...? Then, um, I hope this was enough closure. Let's not see or talk to each other again, okay Ryan?"
are you alright? i saw that whole thing with hazel blow over
meet me at milksea?
But baby if you say you want me to stay, I'll change my mind, beCause I don't wanna know I'm walking away - change my mind
After thorough conversations with Eliza, advice from Hazel, and 'consent' from Edward, Astrid finally felt ready to talk to Ryan. She knows better than anyone that she's being unfair to him, rejecting him over and over again with no proper explenation, but something Mark said kind of pushed her to want to finally explain to him, and maybe, if he would still have her, give 'them' a try.
"So, I heard Ryan's your soulmate?" Mark asks, munching on his food simultaneously. "Yeah, but we're not dating or anything."
"Why not?" Astrid looks at him in desbelief, since Ryan is infamous for being such a boy. "Okay, yeah, I can see why."
"Yeah, I don't think I want to go out with someone like him." Astrid sighs, plopping down deeper in her chair. "Yeah...but are you sure it's not because of what your mom did?"
"What makes you think that?" Astrid asks. The question caught her off guard, since Mark knew how much she hated talking about her mom. "I dunno. But Astrid, Ryan's not your mom. And i dunno, I'm not trying to push you to date him if you don't want to, but if you're rejecting him because you're scared he'll do what your mom did to your dad, then maybe you might want to rethink your decision. Plus, Ryan hasn't been dicking around like he used to. It's like, he changed or some . I dunno."
Astrid saw some truth to what he said. Ryan wasn't her mom, no one was, so after some thinking, she decided to meet with him. She knows that maybe she should have texted him, or called him, rather than writing on her hand, but she figured that maybe she may want to chicken out.
She realizes it's too late for that when she spots Ryan, panting as if he ran all the way there from his dorms. Their eyes meet, and Ryan practically sprinted to her.
"S-sorry, my car wouldn't start so...uh, I ran here." Astrid simply smiles at him. It was hard to believe the guy in front of her was the same guy that could flirt his way into anyone's pants. "It's okay, I did kinda asked to meet up out of no where."
"Yeah," He smiles, scratching the back of his head, "...why did you want to meet?" Astrid gestures for him to sit in front of her, nervously fiddling with her fingers.
"I, uh...do you still, like - love, or whatever, do you still feel the same way?" Ryan meets her eyes, a smile slowly creeping its way to his face. "Yeah - absolutely. "
"Then, if you want - maybe I could like, change my mind. Let's give us a try, yeah?" Astrid asks, finding herself matching Ryan's grin. " yes."
