💮 성규리 LIVES AMONGST US

  IS CURRENTLY LIVING
AMONGST US.
lunaries
yul
a solid 19% tbh but for this i'd come on i swear
 
 
 
NAME 성규리 seong gyuri. 
NICKNAMES
 ariel. really only because of her red hair, because otherwise she bears zero similarity to said mermaid. absolutely detests this nickname, as she does for all other nicknames (mainly because of her hatred for the sea) so it's really used as an ironic nickname to rile her up by close friends and unknowing souls who innocently quip it only to be subject to her wrath.
 she-devil. used by a few of her colleagues and those working alongside her at both work and school. (no point doing it behind her back since she wouldn't get offended at it in the first place, but they don't know that.) frankly, a well-deserved nickname. 
 
DATE OF BIRTH twenty nine, october. ("how ironic is it that you're the goddess of fire and yet a water sign?" "god, can you please just shut the up for just ONCE in your life before i throw you into a pit of lava.")
AGE twenty-two.
PRONOUNS she/her.
 
LANGUAGES
 korean. native, as fluent as you'd expect.
 english. advanced, learnt partly out of sheer boredom, its usefulness as a language internationally understood, and to quench her own curiosity to know what others were talking about online a long time ago. now used on a relatively regular basis when talking to foreign models. speaks with a slight accent but still understandable to a large extent.
FACE CLAIM 정호연 jung hoyeon.
BACK UP 윤선아 yoon seonah. / 퐁리 pong lee. 
 
APPEARANCE strikingly red hair, long manicured scarlet nails (affectionately self-proclaimed to be her claws), dark black pupils, slanted steep eyebrows. flawless porcelain pale skin, a small beauty mark at her left cheek near her eye that she usually covers up with foundation. 
 
STYLE towers over most at 1.78m yet is mostly seen in killer heels. will go all out for fashion, dressed from head to toe in haute couture and high-end luxury products, would rather be sent back up than to be caught out with some knockoff boots from last season. has custom-made jewellery she adorns herself with along with a select few pieces of tasteful trinkets. her colours: red, gold, black.
DEITY 조왕신 jowangsin, goddess of fire and hearth.
ORIGIN korean shanimism; korea.
 
MISSION ON EARTH was tired of life back above doing nothing besides absentmindedly schedule volcano ruptures, watched One (1) fashion show at nyfw and packed her bags to be part of that entire process. a little ridiculous to the other deities when she made this announcement, but that's what immortality does to you. didn't know where to start ("so do i just start sewing now or?" "you have literally never touched a needle in your life before, why don't you learn how to do that first, .") so that's how she, goddess of fire and hearth, ended up at humble hongik university going about as a overly hotheaded fashion design major.
TRAITS entj-a. true neutral. 
headstrong, temperamental, ambitious, egocentric, self-assured.
 
ELABORATE infamous for having the world's shortest temper. will flare up at anything and everything, but rarely stays angry for long. that said, she is very petty and will hold a grudge. will literally never be the one who apologises first, even if she knows she's in the wrong. irritatingly sarcastic and overly blunt. a bit (a lot) of a superiority complex, has the mentality that being a deity equates to her being automatically better than everyone else: which is why she's not the keenest when running into other deities who don't view the same. cannot hold her tongue back for the life of her, will say what she thinks. constantly attacking others for the tiniest of remarks but ultimately never really gets hurt by any snide comments about her. about the chase, not the commitment. holds herself up to extremely high standards and because she's pretty much always confident that she'll succeed in whatever she does, in the far chance she doesn't automatically attain glory or instantaneous achievement, she tumbles into a state of internal self-deprecation. pretty distrustful of other deities and doesn't care too much about humans as a whole, so it's really hard both you and her to warm up to each other. will not hesitate to kick for you once you've gained a seat on her good side, though.
 
CURRENT LIFESTYLE studying fashion design at hongik university, part-time modelling as a side-career after getting scouted just a month into arriving back in seoul. wants to simultaneously create her own line, be the face of the brand and model for it, and manage all the marketing and business side of it all. a herculean task by all means, but she firmly believes she can do it. always getting into squabbles with the other students due to her attitude, and though the professors aren't the most fond of her fiery persona either, her work isn't easy to put down and has been grudgingly acknowledged by most to possess the raw talent and vigour she's immensely proud of having.
TRIVIA
 will go out of her way to diss someone, whether that someone is a friend she's known for years or a literal stranger she just met at the pub. says it's "the humans' rights to know what i think of their measly selves" but really it's just her being a whole mean for no reason.
 has no budget whatsoever and will buy anything that catches her eye at first sight. there are rumours running rife that she's the granddaughter of a chaebol or inherited an entire island, but the general gist that she was born with a golden spoon in technically isn't all that for off. the whole concept of currency is still relatively foreign even after years of being on earth, which is why she's ended up having a whole property to her name now. she uses the rent to fuel her ludicrous daily expenses. ("for 's sake, i'm a goddamn goddess. you're expecting me what? spend responsibly? you and i both know capitalism is a social construct."
 curses in every other sentence, a mouth as foul as a drunk sailor. she's collected curse words in a multitude of languages, which she ends up being a flex when she's mad and they all come tumbling out.
 doesn't care much about formalities which of course, offends most people considering the confucianist culture of korea, but she could really care less. has landed her in a lot of with her higher-ups before.
 knows all the latest acronyms in trend, which she litters throughout her speech and texts. 
 ridiculously picky with food (she's that girl that eats salad for every meal out of actual enjoyment.) hates oily food, will refuse to eat when out to get chimaek. the only exception is instant ramen, which she treats herself to as a guilty pleasure when she's feeling exceptionally lazy or down. favourite cuisine is french. 
 cannot stand loud noises and therefore, hates all young children. any screaming within a five foot radius of her will be subjected to a piercing glare sent from across the room, usually enough to shut even the most petulant baby down.
 thinks her hair is her most defining trait, and therefore will never dye her hair a different colour. meticulously conditions it and goes for expensive hair treatments every month.
 a thrill-seeker, said to not be scared of anything. generally actually pretty fearless, not scared of the typical fears: the dark, heights, insects, the supernatural, etc. 
 does pilates, rock-climbing, flying yoga, hiking on the weekends. visits the gym a lot. 
RELATIONSHIPS
 sawano daichi. for someone who calls himself king of hell, gyuri thinks she'd be much better suited for that title, though it's not necessarily a criticism to him in any way. was surprised the first time she met him, unable to match the name to the face, and really, he continues to surprise her even till now. disdainful looks of "this is how you conduct yourself? i mean, i get why hell's hell now, with you ruling over it and all." otherwise, gyuri views daichi as harmless, akin to a lazy puppy, and has almost something similar to a soft spot for him, though she still refuses to be seen out with him purely because of his "absolutely horrifying fashion sense". has gone out of her way to purchase outfits for him before but alas, her attempts to revamp the entirety of his wardrobe tend to go in vain. with her dark red hair and his bubblegum pink one and their ridiculously tall statures coupled with their polarising getups, the two make for a sight to see when together.
 li xiangyu. took a long time for gyuri to warm up to xiangyu because it's precisely the sanguine, easygoing type of deity (and person) that gyuri tends to be most distrustful of. they're still not all that close, but gyuri loves xiangyu's cooking (chinese food is great. gyuri's skills are great.) and she supposes, that's a step towards something like friendship?
 tba....
"i'm just saying: human or deity, nobody dies a . life s us all."
Q&A
 
WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO LIVE IN KOREA?
i have no clue. why DID i decide to live here.... i wanted amsterdam or somewhere in sweden but somehow i ended up here, ugh. i guess it's out of pure convenience. and the fact that these people used to worship me back in the day. that plays a part too, yes.
 
WHAT MOST FASCINATES YOU ABOUT HUMANS?
i wouldn't use the word fascinate per se with regards to humans... they're just a bit stupid is all. and i can never really understand why they care so much about such trifling things, but then again, we deities do the same, so.
 
PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA: ABOMINATION OR HEAVENLY?
i'd eat pizza with just pineapple. ham's the real abomination here. y'all really eat that ? i'll stick to my veggie pizzas, thank you very much.
 
WHAT WILL YOU DO IF SOMEONE SUSPECTS YOU'RE NOT HUMAN?
it'd be more offensive if no one at all suspected me of not being a human. i mean.... you really think a human could be capable of having a face like this? a body like this? a ing MIND like this? it sends. 
 
CHOOSE ONE: THE EARTH OR THE SEA?
earth, obviously. i'm the goddess of fire, you really want me to go near water? which puts out flames? yeah, no. where's the choice for volcanoes?

HALLOWEEN PARTY!!! where they all dress up as themselves (or each other) in deity form.
