ISABELLA KIM    

 Mirror, Mirror on the wall...    
 Who is the fairest of them all?            

FACE CLAIM : Chungha // Soloist0, ex-IOI

BACK-UP : Dohyeon / Weki Meki, ex-IOI

HEIGHT : 175 cm
WEIGHT : 59 kg

APPEARANCE : When Isa walks into a room, the first thing she does is stand out. There's many aspects to why, but none other than her height. Though she's not a total giant, she's certainly on the taller side at the school. Most of her height is due to her long legs, that probably take up most of her body. 

 Isa's face is on the longer side, with plump pink lips and sharp eyes. She's a beauty, but not in a soft way. Her looks are intimidating, and the -appeal she radiates causes people to stare. She keeps her hair in her natural black color, and prefers to keep it long and out. But, if necessary, she'll tie it up in a messy bun. 

 She has a few piercings as well, She has piercings on her ear lobe, upper lobe, along with an industrial piercing. She also pierced her left nostril but rarely wears it as it bothers her. She rarely wears any of her piercings, in fact- save for maybe her ear lobe- as most of the time her piercings were done to rebel against her step-mother's strictness

FASHION STYLE : Isa is definitely one of the students who tries to accesserize and change up her uniforms. She'll put on a leather jacket sometimes, or loosen her shirt up. She'll add on hoop earings, or wrap her jacket around her waists.  She loves to stand out, and to catch people's eyes. Isa thrives off of attention, so her uniform has to grab such a thing, even if she gets in trouble for it.

 As for casual wear, Isa definitely wears more edgy clothes. She lives for bomber jackets, leather and fishnets. Though her dad can afford for her to wear expensive clothing, she prefers to go to thrift stores to buy her clothes from there, as they fit her aesthetic better,

 But looks aren't anything...

  isabella says what's on her mind, even if it's something rude.she's a BLUNT person who speaks her mind when and whenever she wants. she gets in trouble a lot with others students and staff due to the fact that she doesn't know how to keep her cool. everyone tells her that she should try to loosen up a bit more, but she is too  STUBBORN to change anything.if isabella doesn't want to change something, don't expect her to. she does things her way or the no way and that's how it will always be. just like her power, isa is MANIPULATIVE. she loves having things done her way, and even since before her powers started to flourish she had a way with words that could convince people into doing anything for her.

BACKGROUND : The Kim Family is one of the richest families of South Korea. Their empire started almost a century ago during the Korean War when Kim Jinwoo, Isa's great-great-grandfather, was selling random items for living. When Isa's great-grandfather took over the business is when it escalated into something greater. What was once a small stand in the marketplace turned into a department store and with the help of the economic and technological boom in South Korea, it continued to make more and more money until it became one of the largest department stores in the nation.

 Kim Jinwoo, Isa's father, married the daughter of a famous Korean American plastic surgeon, Maria Lee. Soon after, she gave birth to Isa's older brother, Joseph. So, the family moved to LA where Maria's family resided. While there, Jinwoo decided to fund a restaurant in Koreatown and in the end grew a little too close to one of the waitresses there. It wasn't long until the waitress, Jessica Kwon, ended up pregnant with none other than Isabella. When Jinwoo found out, he immediately denied any connection to the child and when Jessica, who comes from a poor family, insisted he take care of her unborn child, Jinwoo threatened to take her and her family down with his money if she comes anywhere near his family or his marriage. But what Jinwoo was clueless of was that Jessica had powers of her own. Just like her daughter, through much stronger, she had the power of manipulation. Due to morals and a good heart, she rarely used it, but this time she didn't hold back. She got inside of Jjinwoo's head, and manipulated him into loving and taking care of his daughter.

 Isabella stayed with her mother majority of her life after she was born, but Jinwoo (who still was with his other family) would constantly visit and send her money. Being the only child in her household, she was always spoiled. By her mother and her father. She grew up being graced by compliments and getting anything she asked for. She has her father's narcissim and stubborn nature, but her mother loved her anyway.  Her mother never really talked about her power, as she feared her daughter, who was naturally a manipulative person, would end up with her abilities. Jessica always hated her power, especially when people found out about it because they'd end up distancing themselves from her in fear that she'd use it on them. She didn't want her daughter to have to suffer such a fate. However, her mental wishes were worth nothing. When Isa was 12, she got into a big argument with one of her friends on the roof of her apartment building. Her emotions became too strong and she ended the fight by telling her friend to kill herself. And to her shock, she watched her friend jump off the building to her death.

 After that, her powers kept showing up. Every time she wanted someone to do something for her, they'd go up and do it. Sometimes, she didn't even have to choose a specific person, she'd just think it and someone does it for her. Isabella relied on her mother to guide her way with her powers, but that would soon come to an end. Isa, who always struggled to contain her emotions, got into a big fight with her mother over her arrogance and short-temper. Her mother felt she needed to be more kind and generous, while Isa felt she was being a like always. So, while on the phone with her girlfriend at the time, she couldn't help but say that she wished someone would just take her mother away so she'd be at peace. And the next day, she woke up to find her mother dead in the kitchen with a stab wound. She ended a big part of her life the same way she started one. With her mother now dead, the manipulation she had over Isa's father was now gone. He grew hatred over Isa, but he was already registered as one of her guardians, so he was forced to move her with him in Korea. 

 Isa hated him and she hated herself even more, but only one of those things she'd admit out loud. Her father knew about her powers, as she told him when he was still under her mother's manipulation, so he insisted on sending her to a school where she could be far away from her. And so, he found Ledrith. It was advertised as a secret island where he could send his daughter to be taken care of by someone else, not caring about the rumors that were being spread around about the school. so, at 14 Isa entered the academy and has been attending and causing trouble since.

CONNECTIONS : Please only include those who you believe are important to your character. Whether it be family (parents, siblings, grandparents, cousins), classmates, friends, enemies, and so on and so forth.

김진우 +마라이아 이

— father and step-mother / 45 / department store owner + doctor / jinwoo: cunning, determined, stubborn, short-tempered (entp) + maria: smart, selfish, sly, maternal (infj)  [fc: choi jiwoo and jang dong gun]

i hope you don't mind that i put there connections together its just that they dont really matter but still kinda do lol. they both despise isa, especially for the fact that her mother somewhat ruined their marriage. jinwoo fears her for her power, while maria puts her son before her at any time.

  

조세프 김

— half-brother / 19 / student / smart, patient, understanding, aloof (isfp) [fc: ong seongwoo]

joseph is the only person she doesn't have a tough relationship with in her family. that being said, it;s because they avoid each other lol. they rarely talk to each other, but at the same time they do have a lot of tension between each other. one is their father's loved and adored song and the other is the illegitamate daughter with a bad attitude. they treat him perfectly but threat her like trash and joseph doesn't say anything about it.


  
왕설현

— classmate / 18 / student / intelligent, hard working, blunt, cynical

isa and seolhyun are two very different people. one is a more professional and thoughtful hardworking student, the other is the school's bad girl with a lot of arroance. naturally, they don't talk to each other a lot. isa recognizes seolhyun as a smart girl but doesn't have anything to say about it. because of that, isa automatically sees her as an innocent and quiet person who doesn't have much of a personality. but, she's of course very wrong.


  

김승교

— classmate / 15 / student / playful, childish, mischevious, stubborn

isa is the kind of student that finds people in school levels younger than her as nothing more than annoyances and bothersome. the fact that he's already a pretty troublesome person only adds onto that. she normally ignores him and his playfulness but if he gets too much on his nerves she'll snap on him. they're both flirty, but she sees him more as a little boy than a romantic interest so she never flirts with him back.
 

  

이미나

— classmate / 15 / student / kind, empathetic, loud, naive

isa actually likes mina. she finds her cute and interesting. she's more nice to mina than she is to the others because of this. mina, being an extrovert, likes to make her laugh and isa does such a thing. she likes people who can be mature and still fun to be around. isa sees her as a little sister, the sibling she never had as her and joseph have never been close.

 WITH GREAT POWER...    
 Comes great responsibility.   

PLOTLINE: manipulation

BACKUP: illusionist

CODE:  R  ed  

TYPE: Constant

THE ABILITY: Isabella has the power to make people do whatever she wants. All she has to do is look at a person and tell them to do something specific and they will do such a thing. She is still training her abilities, but there are times when all she has to do is think of what she wants to be done and someone will do it for her. 

 Her powers aren't something that she gained right away. It takes time for her to better it and she surely is.

STRENGTHS: She is still training it, and is nowhere near as powerful as her mother. But, as she grows older, she perfects it more and more. As of Aug 2018, she has become better at manipulating people's minds without speaking to them directly. Just that summer she was able to get her father to buy her a new video game by simply looking at him. As she improves, she learns how to manipulate ways of life and thoughts as well, not just actions. 

WEAKNESSES: She is only able to manioulate one person at a time, but this changes and turns into groups of 2-4 before she graduates and when she becomes older it turns into as many as she wants. She also has to focus on the person on all time if she wants them to keep doing it. If she gets distracted or starts thinking about something else, the person returns back to their mind. She eventually overcomes this and it can last as long as she wants it to or until she dies, like her mother.

 If she uses her powers for too long, she starts to feel weak. And if she's tired or unfocused she can't complete her power.

OTHER TALENTS: ( Hand to Hand Combat ) : Isa is especially good at punching and kicking, but she isn't too great at defending herself. She's so impulsive and confident in herself that she doesn't consider what the other person might do and that causes her to be knocked down easily. 

( Weaponry ) : Considering her impulsive and impatient nature, Isa loves to used knives and shotguns. She needs to be closer and quick when fighting, so staffs and swords don't normally work with her. She hates waiting, so she can't take snipers or arrows. 

( Climbing ) : She has a specialty in climbing things, as she's not that great with her feet and is kind of clumsy. She's got a strong upper body that overpowers her bottom.

( Leadership ) :Her powerful personality naturally makes her a leader. People are willing to follow her, even without her using her power. Her confidence and way with words makes her an easy person to look up to.

MENTAL HEALTH: She does not suffer from any mental disorders or disabilities, but after seeing two peopel die to her own faulnaturally it has caused a strain in her mental health. When she closes her eyes, dead bodies is what she sees, and in fear that she might cause another problem she tries not to become close with others.

PHYSICAL HEALTH: Isa is very athletic and has a strong build. She likes to go running a lot and one of the only classes she passes with flying colors. She tries to eat well and exercise a lot, but of course she has her cheat days.
DORM: 

DAILY LIFE: Isabella wakes up aroung 6:45 AM during week days. Isa cares a lot about her appearance, so she takes a shower and heads straight to brush her teeth after that. She uses a precise skin and hair routine. She does her makeup and gets dressed. This usually takes about an hour, so she'l be ready to head downstairs for breakfast. Of course, she eats down there but she also uses this time to talk to her friends and eat. 

 In class, she doesn't pay that much attention tbh. She's usually talking to her friends, or on her phone. This gets her in trouble a lot, and she is a regular visitor to the headmaster's office because of her carefree and wild nature. She also skips a lot of classes, preferring to chill in her dorm or common room by herself or with friends then to bore herself almost to death because she can't stand being in front of a teacher lecturing them for all day long.

 Lunch and dinner are the same as breakfast. She talks to her friends, eats and waits for the day to be over with. She normally takes the transitioning periods before classes to cause some trouble. Walking around with her little posse, her temper flared up.  She is a deuler and has her own team. She loves the competitive nature of the sport, but she does get pissed off if her team loses.

 Her favorite days of the week are the days she has off. She usually holds get togethers with people so they can have actual fun for once in their lives at Ledrith. When she's not doing that, she takes the weekend to sleep (and when she sleeps, it takes everything to wake her up.)

  

 Nothing better than listening to a lie...   
 When you already know the Truth.                         

Isabella, after having waited in a long line for a little under an hour, is finally led into a dimly lit room, with long, scarlet curtains are pulled almost completely shut across large windows that cast a reddish glow. The large, wooden door suddenly slams shut behind Isa, and she finds herself facing a young man with a black mask over his face. Isa feels as if she knows this person, but she can't put her finger on it.

The interviewer might be smiling under his mask. Or frowning. Who knows?

The man is sitting behind a large desk, holding a pen with a black clipboard in his hands. Isabella frowns in disgust. This feels like one of those erted Japanese videos. He motions for Isa to take the seat in front of him. She  sits down, and readies herself  for a barrage of questions. The man seems amused, judging by his body language. The man then leans back into his chair, with a soft squeak.

"Shall we begin?"

Isabella still isn't quite sure why Ledrith is holding an Interview for the students in the first place. But she doesn't have any choice anyway, seeing as there are some burly looking men outside the door. So, she nods.

Please Introduce yourself... and whatever else you feel like adding about yourself. Be as brief, or as long as you would like.

Isabella takes a second to reply. She's still watching the odd man strangely, with her arms crossed. After nearly a minute of silence, she finally answers. "I'm Isa." She doesn't say anything.

What are you opinions about Ledrith Academy AS A WHOLE? Like how things are set up are separated. Do you think it's Good, Bad... maybe you don't care at all, and just want this interview to end as fast as possible. I wouldn't blame you.

Isa her head to the side and purses her lips in thought. The man was right, she wanted to get this thing over with already. Quick answers would make it go by quickly. "It's like the X-Men school but without Wolverine. Instead we have creepy men wearing masks to ask us boring questions."

 The man let out a soft chuckle. At least he had a sense of humor.

How ABOUT YOUR CLASSES, YOUR TEACHERS, AND YOUR CLASSMATES. How do you feel about them?

 Isa nods her head toward him and eyes a thick manila folder lying on the table next to him. On it was her name, written quickly. "What do you think?" She shot back.

 "It seems like you're too stuck up and absorbed by your daddy issues to know what being a decent human being is like," he replied. He took a quick second to add, "But that's just my own opinion."

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO, OR ACCOMPLISH AFTER YOUR GRADUATE FROM LEDRITH? THERE ARE MANY OPTIONS YOU CAN TAKE. 

This question took her by surprise. Her hand that was running through her hair stopped mid- and she looked up at him with widened eyes. 

 She didn't know, was the problem.  And she could feel that behind the mask, he was hiding a cocky smirk, because he knew that. She wasn't going to become a teacher that was for sure. And back home, the 'normal' world wasn't the best place. 

 "Work for the government I guess," she finally answered.

 The man nodded slowly, but added quietly (but loud enough for her to hear), "By the way you act, you might want to change your mind."

 "Says the wearing a mask," she barked in reply.

NOW ABOUT YOUR ABILITY. Tell me about it. How do you feel about being one of the magically gifted? 

"'Magically gifted?' That's what we are now?" She scoffed and leaned her head back. "I thought we were monsters, huh? Mistakes."

 He doesn't reply.

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE HERE? AT LEDRITH? Be honest, or you could lie. You won't be hurting my feelings. 

Isa's leg was shaking, jumping up and down rapidly as she watched him intently. "My dad threw me here because he didn't want to face the fact that he couldn't keep his in his pants 18 years ago. But, I've gotta say that being on a deserted island is a thousand times better than being around those s."

That should be all. Unless you have anything else to say to me, the doors are right behind you. 

Isabella takes a minute, just observing him. She knew who this guy was, she could feel it. But there's no way he'd show her, either way. 

 She leaves without saying anything else.

HAVE A NICE DAY!
