NICKNAMES [ ⋆ ] 

// Little miss metal ♦ being the younger sister of a member of a metal band, Keiko was known as the cute little sister of Tamano Terufumi. She is loved by the fans of her big brother, who all see her as a cute little sister, and that's why they started to call her little miss metal when the vocalist of the band came up with the name.
// Kuroba ♦ The japanese name for clover. Keiko absolutely loves nature and flowers, she's pure and adorable, and she's also quite the lucky girl, so that's why her general nickname is Kuroba.
// Lucky charm ♦ Not only is Keiko lucky, her given name also means lucky or blessed child. And that shows, that's why she's not only called Kuroba, but also lucky charm, because she brings luck to not only herself but also people around her. If you lost something, go meet Keiko, and you'll probably find it again.
// Ko-chan ♦ A general nickname used by her friends in Japan, alternatives are Keiko-chan, Kei-chan or Koko-chan.

LANGUAGES SPOKEN [ ⋆ ] 

// Japanese ♦ native, Keiko was born and raised in Japan, she knows how to speak perfectly and knows a lot of complicated words her big brother even doesn't know.
// Korean ♦ conversational, she hasn't been in Korea for that long, so she still has lots of work to do on her Korean, but she's getting there.
// English ♦ basics, before going to Korea to start her training, she didn't only learn the basics of Korean, she also learned some English just in case, but it has remained quite... terrible. She definitely needs to work on this.

ETHNICITY [ ⋆ ] Japanese
NATIONALITY [ ⋆ ] Japanese
HEIGHT, WEIGHT [ ⋆ ] 155 cm & 48 kg
BLOOD TYPE [ ⋆ ] AB

FACE-CLAIM [ ⋆ ] Hoshino Minami
BACK UP [ ⋆ ] Oda Sakura

APPEARANCE [ ⋆ ] Nothing is different from her faceclaim, except for a few things. She has this small, hidden tattoo on her ankle that shows her origins. It's generally hidden from the public and she covers it with pants, socks, shoes, or in an emergency, a patch. She also has an even better hidden sakura tattoo under her chest. She got both of them before she left off to Korea, to have something that could help her remembering her origins. She's also a bit more tan than her faceclaim.

FASHION STYLE [ ⋆ ] Keiko's style is very... peculiar to say the least. She combines the girly, flowery style, metal style and pastel goth style. She doesn't only wear them separately, she also wears them together, and it can lead up to unique, amazing outfits. She can go out wearing all black, and the next day she would be wearing everything pastel and bright. She'll become an alternative fashion icon. If there's one thing she'll always wear, it's platform shoes, because she's so smol and definitely needs some extra height. She also absolutely loves to wear dungarees or wide skirts. She never wears heavy make-up or weird hairstyles like the original fashion does, she prefers to keep her face and hair natural because it fits her better and she pretty much has to because of her idol career.

PERSONALITY [ ⋆ ] 

Mbti type: ISFP, hogwarts house: Hufflepuff

-(+): kind, helpful, generous, neat
-(-): stubborn, naive, timid, petty

"Oh my god, Keiko, you didn't have to do that!"

// Kind, generous and helpful: Keiko is a kind and pure person. She's always there for people she likes, and she'll always be ready to help them. If something needs to be done in the group, Keiko will probably sacrifice herself to do it. She ends up doing a lot of the difficult and dirty jobs like unclogging the toilet in the dorm. She sometimes helps out too much, or offers too much. It's really dangerous to be a generous foreigner on her own in Korea. She could easily be lured into losing everything, but the other members watch out for her. She's way too generous, often spending all her money just to treat everyone good food or buy presents on Christmas.

"I arranged your stuff for you, oni-chan!"

// Neat: Keiko has always been a very neat person, compared to her sloppy brother. If she isn't cleaning her own room, she'll probably be cleaning someone else's stuff. She's not the real neat freak, she just prefers having everything nicely cleaned up and neatly arranged rather than messy. It's way easier to find her stuff in a neat room, and she prefers if the room smells and looks nice.

"Wait... that was a lie?" "Keiko, did you really believe that?"

// Stubborn and naive: This is how Keiko got into Korea. If she has put her mind on something, nothing can stop her, and she'll want it. If someone disagrees, she'll shrug it off and ignore it or become mad. Her brother warned her so much about the cruel kpop life, but she ignored him and went to Korea after all. She's also very naive, and believes a lot of stuff that people say when she doesn't know anything about the subject. But when she thinks she knows the truth herself, she'll become stubborn again and refuse to agree. She's really a hard one to handle, and she would be better kept on a leash so she doesn't get lured away by someone who lied to her.

"Kenta-kun... Should I just go back home?"

// Timid: Keiko is easily harmed. She might have crazy ideas and follow them no matter what, she is actually very timid. She loses her courage easily and she's pretty much afraid of everything. After she got scarred by the cruel life in Korea as kpop trainee, and the reality her brother warned her for, Keiko especially grew very timid. She's still trying to get used to living as idol in South Korea, so she has become really vulnerable and quite shy as well. She'll probably get stronger over the time. At least she can put on the image of a strong person and bottle it all up, for now.

"You have exactly one hour and 39 minutes before I take back the money I lended you, and take some extra. Hurry and return it."

// Petty: Oh no, don't ever get on her nerves. Keiko might be a pure and sweet person, if you make her mad, her inner will come out. Keiko is actually really petty and she'll have a grudge on you for the smallest things. If you don't return her money she lended to you, she'll take double the amount from you. It's sometimes funny how she is so pissed over the smallest things, and grumpy Keiko is honestly just adorable. She might be naive and such, but once you deceive her and she finds out, you won't rest for a while, because she'll be coming for you with silent and sneaky jabs.

BACKGROUND [ ⋆ ] When Keiko was born, she was lucky enough to be part of a wealthy family, and have a 9 year old brother by her side. Her big brother was always very protective over her, and little Keiko was a lucky child. Ever since Keiko was born, the family had gotten very lucky. Her friends around her would always be lucky too, she was like a walking lucky charm. Her parents were into all the rock and metal stuff, and both of the kids inherited it too. While growing up, Terufumi got completely into metal. In 2006, he started a metal band with some friends, who would later become worldwide famous, Crossfaith. Keiko on the other hand, did like to listen to the metal music stuff from her family, but she was still so young. She went to see every concert her brother did, together with her parents, sitting on their neck so she would be safe from the sometimes harsh behavior of other metalfans. They were always really friendly, but mosh pits are just rough.

Everyone around her noticed that Keiko was always softer than the rest of the family, and when her childhood bestie showed her kara and 2pm, Keiko fell in love. She found her true music genre, yes, she loved metal, but she just preferred kpop. She grew up becoming a hardcore multifandom kpop expert, starting to dream about her own career in Korea. She started to dance, learn heaps of kpop choreographies and also take some vocal lessons. Dance became her expertise, but so did her guitar skills, which she learned at school, and also learned some tricks fro Crossfaith's guitarist, Kazuki. When she told her parents she wanted to go to Korea, they called her crazy. When her brother heard about it, he was mad. He had to do anything to talk that dream out of Keiko's head. Whenever he was at home in Osaka, he was constantly telling her to not do it, that the kpop world was cruel, being famous was a burden, especially in such a strict country like Korea. But Keiko was naive, and didn't listen. In 2017, when Keiko was 18, she decided that it was time to go to Korea to chase her dreams. Even though her brother was extremely against it, and they fought several times. Her parents decided to let her go, there was no stopping Keiko, and she was the walking lucky charm, so she would be able to fight her way through, right? After getting her tattoos to help her remember her origins and give her strength, Keiko took off to her new life, to Korea, the country of her dreams and her idols...

But her brother was right. Once in Korea, Keiko saw the harsh reality. She had to deal with racism, trouble with communication, and lots of weird stares and mockery because of her peculiar clothing style. She moved into a small studio, right in the middle of a bunch of entertainment agencies, and next to a big, noisy dorm. When she was moving in, the inhabitants of the dorm were just getting home, and the boys helped her move her stuff. Little did she know that they were celebrities. They introduced themselves as SKTelecom T1. Keiko didn't knew them. The boys were quite disappointed, and they explained they were a team of professional gamers. Keiko didn't understand, because she didn't know what that meant. And she never really enjoyed gaming anyway. Keiko didn't really know how to communicate, yes, they were very nice, but by coming to Korea, the girl completely shut herself off. But she was determined to keep fighting and prove her big brother wrong, and after a week of adjusting and preparing, she auditioned for Fantasia entertainment, a company right across the street. And miraculously, she made it in at first try. Maybe it's because she's so lucky?

Poor Keiko met with the harsh trainee life, okay, it wasn't like she got abused or anything, but it was still very hard for Keiko to keep up and adjust because she's a foreigner. She bottled up all her emotions, trying to appear strong so that she could fight on. She kept fighting on and she ended up making it. She got lucky again, and she got chosen as one of the new Nova members. After such a long time, Keiko was still not fully used to living in Korea, but she made it, at least. Well, almost.

Meanwhile, in the end of 2017, the line-up of SKT T1, Keiko's neighbours, changed. New faces appeared in the dorm, and one boy in particular caught Keiko's attention. "Hey, I'm Thal, but you can call me Kwonhyuk." These words, a playful smirk and the pose of an alpha male were enough to make Keiko fall in love.

FAMILY [ ⋆ ]

// Older brother, Tamano Terufumi ♦ 29 ♦ alive ♦ member of Crossfaith ♦ friendly, energetic, realistic, flirty, stubborn ♦ Keiko's older brother is a very nice guy, despite his image of a rough, tattooed playboy. He might be flirty, very flirty, yes, but he's a caring big brother who always tries to keep Keiko on the right path and keep her away from the dangers of being famous, since he knows all about it very well. He is extremely proud of his little sister, but he would've preferred if she would've had a normal job in Japan. He can't be there often, but he calls his baby sister every day, drunk or not, and whenever he has the time he'll come visit her in Korea.

FRIENDS [ ⋆ ]

// Extra older brothers, Crossfaith ♦ 30-28 ♦ metal band ♦ varies but while having a strong image, they are softies and sweethearts ♦ Keiko already knew some of the boys before the band got formed, but she grew closer to them once they formed the band ♦ Koie Kenta, Takemura Kazuki, Amano  Tatsuya and Ikegawa Hiroki. Four amazing sweethearts who might be rough on the outside, but are absolute softies just like Terufumi, especially for Keiko. They have all known Keiko since she was a young child, and they have seen her grow into a beautiful young lady. They are extremely protective over her and support her no matter what. Keiko basically has five older brothers, and they are all watching over her like wolfs.

// Bestie, Murakami Yoshie ♦ 19 ♦ Pastry chef ♦ sweet, calm, desperate, perfectionist ♦ at kindergarten ♦ Yoshie and Keiko have been besties for most of their life. They are a dream team, and one is a metal girl, the other is the absolute girly bubblegum girl. Yoshie is the one that got Keiko into kpop, and basically started all of this. She is even more fanatic about kpop than Keiko, but she wanted to rather be a pastry chef. She is just starting, and she is actually planning to move to Korea and start a pastry shop close to Keiko's agency so they can be close (and Yoshie can meet her idols, of course). (fc: Kawamoto Saya)

// Neighbours, SKT T1 (from left to right: Thal, Blank, Effort, Faker, Bang, Blossom, Untara and Wolf) ♦ varies ♦ professional league of legends players ♦ varies but they're very nice to Keiko nontheless ♦ by Keiko moving in next to their dorm ♦ In the beginning, Keiko didn't really get close to them because they were busy boys, and Keiko was very shy, but that changed when 2018 started, and the new kids joined. Thal and Blossom. Thal is the same age as Keiko, and Blossom is just an adorable little child who is super bright and is able to befriend anyone. Thanks to Kwonhyuk and Beomchan (Thal and Blossom), Keiko also grew closer to the rest of the team, and they often invite her over to eat some snacks, and just make sure she doesn't feel alone anymore. SKT has been a blessing, and when Keiko will have to move away from them, they'll all be really sad. Keiko has found great friends in these boys, even though she still doesn't understand about the game they play. They have been a great help for Keiko and have helped her gain more power, get a little bit more used to Korea and they also allow her to let out her emotions when needed, which is a great thing for Keiko and has helped her a lot throughout the months. They are also very protective over her, especially Thal, for certain reasons... She's also quite close to Untara now, who is quite... the funny little fella.

// Groupmate, Bang Yeeun ♦ 23 ♦ Member of Nova ♦ you know her better than I do ♦ they met by training together ♦ Keiko didn't really get super close to any of the members yet, the others are either debuted, or are named Didi (if she gets chosen), and Keiko and Didi don't really talk to each other because Keiko is afraid and Didi is not really interested in a shy, Japanese weirdo. Yeeun has been really kind to Keiko though, and she has helped her through her few months of training. So if Keiko would name someone who she's the closest to in the company, it's probably Yeeun. Until it's announced that Keiko will take over Yeeun's lead dancer position. Keiko doesn't want drama, but that depends on what Yeeun will think, and how she'll treat it...

NAME [ ⋆ ] Thal/Park Kwonhyuk
OCCUPATION [ ⋆ ] Top laner of SKT T1
D.O.B [ ⋆ ] 13/11/1998

PERSONALITY [ ⋆ ] Kwonhyuk, this man, is trying so hard that it becomes funny. He feels like an alpha male, so he tries to look like one too. He spends lots of his free time in the gym, sometimes dragging Beomchan or Keiko along. He is really into muscle training and he does want to get really buff. It's going quite well, and especially his chest is standing out. Well, maybe because he always perks it out like a rooster as well. Keiko always laughs at the way Kwonhyuk sits, legs wide open, flexing his muscles, showing off his dominance. Too bad his cute face is in the way, even though it's plastered with a playful and teasing smirk most of the time. Kwonhyuk is a cool guy, calm, chill and never feeling the need to say much. He is quite the friendly guy, he just keeps it cool at all times. Well, not all times. Whenever Kwonhyuk is chatting with Keiko, inner Kwonhyuk goes crazy! He's always worried that he'll end up looking like boo boo the fool, but for now he has always been able to contain himself and remain the cool and handsome alpha male he wants to be. Especially towards Keiko, his lady and only his, even though nothing has happened yet.

Thal sometimes remains too cool. Missing chances or doing weird stuff because he is too relaxed and nonchalant. It really makes him look like a sometimes, but he has always managed to slip through the net when it comes to Keiko, but not when it comes to his career. He's often called a bad or inconvenient player because of SKT's losing streak, and that makes Kwonhyuk quite mad. He's a fiery, hot-headed man, even though he stays pretty calm while he's mad, he just gets pissed off really easily. It's not the first time that he has become mad at Beomchan for being too loud and cheerful. He's also quite the messy guy, he doesn't care and leaves his room dirty. Keiko often complains about it before cleaning his room. She sometimes even does the laundry for SKT, when most of the clothes come from Kwonhyuk cause he just leaves them. Even his dirty underwear, which always makes him run around in panic and embarassment if he finds out. He's also extremely protective and possessive over Keiko, even though they are just friends for now. He sometimes gets way too protective and possessive, and it is hilarious to the teammates. Kwonhyuk is quite the funny figure, even if he tries so hard to be the cool, muscled alpha male.

Blossom/Beomchan absolutely loves to bully Kwonhyuk with it all, which makes it even better. They are basically polar opposites, yet are both the closest to Keiko. Here's an example of their opposite antics.

Just look at Kwonhyuk in the middle trying to show that he's the dominant one.

RELATIONSHIP [ ⋆ ] For now, Keiko and Kwonhyuk are just good friends. Keiko is quite the shy one when it comes to love, and still can't fully express herself because of her lack of Korean skills. Also, Keiko has never had a boyfriend before, because if someone liked her, they would be scared away by big brother Terufumi. Kwonhyuk knows that there is a big brother waiting to meet him and to glare him down, but Kwonhyuk wouldn't be Kwonhyuk if he was afraid of Teru. No, Kwonhyuk is ready to take on that skinny dude and show off that he is the alpha male who will get Keiko in the end. Kwonhyuk and Keiko are often just casually talking, Kwonhyuk helping Keiko with her Korean skills and knowledge of the culture. Keiko is also like Kwonhyuk's personal cleaning lady, since Kwonhyuk is very messy, and Keiko is really neat. They take care of each other and complete each other. Keiko just loves spending time with Kwonhyuk, because it makes her feel at ease, and he never fails to make her laugh by trying to be so cool but messing up. After seeing Keiko, Kwonhyuk often needs some time alone in his room to scream, run around and just freak out over how cute his shy lady is. Kwonhyuk is also extremely possessive over Keiko, and also overly protective, and he is like a knight protecting his lovely princess. Whenever any dude that is not SKT or Crossfaith comes close to Keiko, Kwonhyuk will freak out. Alpha male at his best, yeah right. Meanwhile there's Beomchan, who's just constantly bullying the two. The whole team knows about Kwonhyuk and Keiko being head over heels with each other, but only Beomchan is always talking about it and teasing them with it, while the other teammates just grin in the back. They're currently oblivious towards each other, and are kind of getting nowhere, but once Keiko will move into the dorm of Nova and join the group, both will feel empty without the other living next to them. Especially Kwonhyuk will be a mess. Literally. They'll be longing for each other more, and the relationship will finally advance to something better, to the hilarity of manchild Beomchan.

HISTORY [ ⋆ ] Kwonhyuk met Keiko when he moved into the SKT dorm around late 2017. He saw her for the first time when she came to take a look as the boys were moving in. First, Beomchan immediately jumped over the boxes and suitcases towards the curious neighbour, introducing himself in his usual cheerful and loud way. Keiko was taken by surprise, and Kwonhyuk couldn't help but chuckle at this cute girl. Then he introduced himself. His heart was beating, because even though he tried to be cool, cute girls always made him go crazy. "Hey, I'm Thal, but you can call me Kwonhyuk." Alpha male pose, playful smirk, showing off his muscles. Keiko's smile was shy and gentle, and Kwonhyuk swore he could see a blush on her lovely cheeks. Nailed it. She digged him from the start. Kwonhyuk considered it a mission success, but what originated from shameless playboy flirting, slowly transformed into Kwonhyuk trying his best to not mess up, because he was freaking out so much, seeing Keiko. While Keiko was in love with him from his first words with his low and charismatic voice, Kwonhyuk's feelings grew through his flirting, and the transformation from the cool playboy to the kid who has to overthink every single word, breaking into cold sweat because of the same girl, was hilarious to follow. Kwonhyuk changed from alpha male to comical mess, thanks to Keiko. And Keiko? She absolutely loves the change, but she somehow still thinks he's just playing with her heart, and Kwonhyuk somehow also became unsure if Keiko really loved him, even though he was sure she digged him at first meeting.

STATUS [ ⋆ ] friends, for now, but they'll end up dating, definitely. They'll probably be discovered before the dating ban ends, and they'll get into a dating scandal and Keiko will get a good scolding.

OTHER [ ⋆ ] 
- their shipname is Thako, Beomchan came up with it, and is extremely proud of it because it sounds like Taco, if that wasn't obvious
- Kwonhyuk wants to get a tattoo just because Keiko likes them, he wants to impress her
- Kwonhyuk has given up on teaching Keiko about League of legends, she is just too clueless to understand it
- he does teach her Korean at least once a week though

ANY LAST COMMENTS [ ⋆ ] Hiyya! So here's my second character! I started working on her before the other Draconis app got submitted, so I didn't know that there would be another app for it. I tried to go for one of the lesser popular plotlines, but I just couldn't get any specific ideas for Cygni or Circini so I hope you're okay with this! Also, I might've gone a bit too far with the love story with ma boy Thal, but I'm just so into this cute couple so I hope you will be too! I just love Thal trying so hard to appear strong and manly.

SCENE REQUESTS [ ⋆ ]

// Thal and Terufumi facing off. This town ain't big enough for the two of us, insert dramatic tumbleweed.
// Just Keiko trying to get used to Korea
// Blossom teasing Thal and Keiko endlessly
// Crossfaith coming for a surprise visit for the first time and the Nova members being intimidated by them, thinking they are criminals or smth but them ending up huge softies who are really proud of keiko and are really caring and kind towards the other members.
