Jung Jiyeon   

 

  I AM NOT  

 FACE CLAIM  TWICE Jeongyeon

 BACK-UP FACE CLAIM  Loona Haseul

 HEIGHT & WEIGHT  169cm (5'7) + 52.3kg (115lbs) 


 APPEARANCE  

Jiyeon likes to keep her hair short and in a 'boyish' style since it's the easiest to maintain. Her brother has dyed her hair a couple types, mostly natural colours (except for that one summer where she went blue). Jiyeon also needs glasses and prefers to wear them over contacts since touching her own eye grosses her out.

Jiyeon also has acne scars from puberty on her forehead and that's where she still gets the most acne. She tends to cover them with her bangs since they make her feel embarrassed. On days where she feels very self concious or really wants to look good, she covers them with concealer and foundation.

As the story goes on and Jiyeon becomes interested in Minho, she begins to feel a lot more self conscious. I mean Minho? He's gorgeous. She knows she's not ugly, but he's way way out of her league. Not to mention he's surrounded by pretty girl with pretty clothes and makeup. How can she not compare herself to them?
 

 FASHION STYLE 

When it comes to her school uniform, Jiyeon makes sure she's impeccably dressed. Shirt always perfectly ironed and skirt creased. Not a thread out of place. It's become routine for Jiyeon to iron her uniform before bed every night. She becomes very annoyed if her uniform is messed up at all.

Outside of school, Jiyeon's sense of style is very basic. She prefers casual, laid back clothing. Plain tee , jeans and sneakers. Maybe a baseball cap if she's feeling adventurous. Jiyeon has had most of her clothing for years since she hasn't grown much since midde school. She hates clothes shopping and tends to repair her own clothing whenever needs. Jiyeon is quite handy with a needle and thread.

Prom dress ideas: [x] [x] [x]
- something darker; black, navy blue, burgundy, deep green
- very simple without much lace or bedazzling. maybe just a bit of chiffon
- covered back and fairly modest, but still off the shoulder neckline

 PLOTLINE   The Nerd

 BACKUP PLOTLINE   The Slacker
 

 PERSONALITY  ISTJ-A, Ravenclaw

+ calm, practical, strong-willed, dedicated
- blunt, judgemental, rigid, insensitive

blunt + insensitive; Jiyeon is the type of person who doesn't beat around the bush. She's a very direct person and will speak honestly about things, even if it unintentionally hurts someone's feelings. Jiyeon isn't trying to hurt their feelings, it just comes out that way by accident. She values honesty above most anything else and hates when people lie to her.

calm + practical; She's very good in a crisis or if a problem needs to be solves. Jiyeon really keeps her cool under pressure, rarely allowing stress to drive or pressure her. Works with effectiveness in mind over empathy or feelings. This is what allows Jiyeon to keep a clear mind and make rational decisions. It's rare that her feelings overcome her.

strong-willed + judgemental; Jiyeon has goals and she won't allow anything to get in the way of them. Once she's made a decision, she'll stick to her guns. This can also lead her to making incorrect assumptions about people and then having a difficult time reversing them. Jiyeon sees herself as very logical and is confident in her views.

rigid + dedicated; As stated, Jiyeon is very goal-oriented. This means she's very dedicated to her goals and strives to achieve them, no matter the cost. Jiyeon works her off, but this leads to her rigidity as a person. She has schedules and routines that she needs to stick to or she becomes uncomfortable. Jiyeon is basically the opposite of spontaneous.
 

 BACKGROUND 

Jiyeon comes from a typical family- a mom, a dad, and an older brother. They even briefly had a cat named Peaches before he ran away. Her father is a garbageman and janitor while her mother is a dishwasher and works at a daycare. Seoul is an expensive city to live in, but her parents have too many emotional ties to even consider moving. Since both of her parents worked two jobs to make ends meet, Jiyeon and Jiseok have had to become independent and take care of themselves. Even despite her parents absence, Jiyeon really loves and appreciates them for everything they've done for her. 

She's always known of her family's financial situation, despite her parents trying to keep it from her and her brother. Jiyeon has heard a few hushed arguments about money from the other side of the wall between her parents. This is what made Jiyeon want to go to JYP high. It's a very good school and will look good on university applications. She studied very hard in middle school and managed to get into JYP with a full scholarship, dependent on her keeping good grades.

Currently Jiyeon only has one friend, two if you count her brother or three if you include her literature teacher. She doesn't mind having a very small social circle, but she does feel like she's missing out on a lot of high school experiences. She sees everyone having fun and wants that too, but she can't bring herself to join in. It doesn't help that Jiyeon is also bullied. Not severely, but she'd have to be deaf not to hear the comments others make about her. Still Jiyeon keeps her head up high and focuses on her future goals instead of letting her present disappointments get her down.

Jiyeon's goal is to become a financial planning manager since the job pays really well and she'll be able to give her parents a good retirement. She would have become a doctor, but the sight of blood freaks her out so so much. No way would she be able to get through med school. Jiyeon doesn't have much interest in finance, but she's good at numbers and math so it's better than nothing. Even if Jiyeon wasn't focused on the money, she isn't sure what she would want to do anyways since she dosn't have many hobbies.

Love? No time for it. Jiyeon is far too focused on her future to even consider boys or dating at the moment. In her mind, it's a far off goal and she's got better things to focus on at the moment. That all goes out the window when her annoying older brother Jiseok meddles in her love life. He constantly teases her about her lack of male interest, lack of appeal, and lack of dates. At first Jiyeon just shrugs it of, but eventually it takes root and causes her to get angry at Jiseok. She replies that her not having a boyfriend is because she's not interested and not because boys don't like her. Jiyeon stupidly says 'I could get a boyfriend in no time'. Jiseok, noticing that she spends way too much time studying and doesn't focus on actually enjoying life, makes a bet with her. If Jiyeon can get a date to her senior prom then he will buy her the limited edition reprint of her favourite fantasy series. Jiyeon, blinded by ego and fandom love, agrees to the bet without a second thought.

TL;DR
She's just a poor girl from a poor family who studies her off to keep her JYP scholarship. Her older brother notices that she's too focused on the future and school and bets her to get a date to her senior prom.

  I AM YOU  

 CONNECTIONS   
 

— Older Brother :: Jung Jiseok (23) / Musician / playful, thoughtful, carefree / 8/10

Jiyeon and Jiseok have opposite personalities. She's serious and goal oriented, while Jiseok is very carefree. He's very much a 'go-where-the-wind-takes-him' kind of guy. Jiseok is rarely ever serious and always has a teasing remark for anyone, but especially Jiyeon. He adores teasing her and getting underneath her skin. But Jiseok will be the first person to come to Jiyeon's defense and take care of her in any situation (fc. CNBlue Jungshin)

 

— Mentor :: Park Jinyoung (26) / Lit. Teacher / sassy, studious, caring / 6/10

Jinyoung is Jiyeon's literature teacher at JYP high and her favourite teacher. She views him as a mentor and asks his advice about schooling and university. They have a good student/teacher relationship. Jinyoung and Jiyeon have a mini book club and exchange thoughts about books and poetry.

— Best Friend :: Han Sara (19) / Student / nerdy, introverted, bubbly / 9/10

Sara and Jiyeon are online best friends. They first met through a messaging board of their favourite fantasy book series and have been close friends ever since. Sara lives in Busan though, so they only see each other during summer holidays. They do send eachother Christmas and birthday presents throughout the year and talk almost every day. They can spend hours on the phone, each person on the other side doing their own thing and sitting together in comfortable silence. For Jiyeon, Sara is the only person that she feels 100% comfortable with. (fc. WJSN Bona)

 THE GIRLS   

— Kang Iseul :: cheerful, helpful, bubbly (at first) :: 7/10
Jiyeon knows who Iseul is, pretty much everyone in the school does since she's dating Hwang Hyunjin. It's obvious that Hyunjin isn't loyal to Iseul, but Jiyeon stays in her lane and doesn't pay much attention to it. Not her business and she doesn't have time to worry about stupid things like who's dating who.

As the story goes on, Jiyeon and Iseul get to know each other better. When Iseul's true moody and kind of depressing personality is revealed, Jiyeon starts to like her a lot more. They're just on each other's wavelengths with being private and emotionally constipated. Neither of them really talk to each other about their problems, but can lowkey rely on each other.

— The Beauty 
Jiyeon very much doesn't agree with the fact that Beauty is after another girl's man. She doesn't make her disapproval known to anybody, but Jiyeon is judging her a lot. Her opinion only really changes when she sees how compatible Beauty and Chan are.

— The Slacker
Slacker is for sure the one that Jiyeon gets along with the least. It's not because Slacker is a bad person, but because she has such a bad work ethic that Jiyeon can't get behind.

— The Fighter 
Out of all the girls, Jiyeon and Fighter get along surprisingly well. Neither of them really give a and that's just the vibe.

— The Talkative
Jiyeon enjoys how extroverted and loud Talkative is. It makes it easier for Jiyeon to fade into the background.

— The Mysterious
One of the girls that Jiyeon is closest to since Mysterious is also generally uninterested in boys and dating and love drama. 

— The Jock 
Actually kind of get along. They definitely heads a lot at first, mostly because Jiyeon hates the fact that Jock is a rich , but after Jiyeon gets over it they're pretty chill together.
