PERSONALITY
+ coherent, confident, independant, intelligent   
- presumptuous, blunt, combative, arrogrant 
+\- serious, perfectionist
INTJ-T & ravenclaw 

soojin is not one to start a conversation but she can confidently hold one. she is not a shy and quiet introvert but she does enjoy time to herself, and do feel extremely exhausted attending gatherings that she has no interest in, but get her talking about plants and politics, your girl will go on and on. her father would always feel hesitant to bring his daughter along his business meetings and gathering because he knows she will not stand down from any combative arguements about regulations and laws. if she was born a son he would had been damn proud but because she is a daughter he always jokes that he will have no in laws. her intelligences comes from being curious. wanting to know everything and wanting to be th ebest at everything, she dives straight into what ever is presented to her. determine and a little too compeitive to say the least. 

although she does take great measure in critifally and rationally thinking of her responses and answers the girl is blunt and can be quit emotionally detached. she struggles to pick up emotional cues and needs of others in the spare of the moment. it's either what you are doing is wrong or what you are thinking is wrong and what i think and do is right. partily she is mostly always right but she does disregard people's feelings and it's wrong of her to do so. her arrogrant behavior does cause her to have a big ego and apologizing is quite hard for her to do. 

she is impatient towards people who put their emotions before facts. some may say she could be a strong leader and other just say she is rude. soojin isn't concern about being liked or apperciated because what she does really does come from the heart and out of goodness even though it may comes off as more presumptuous. 

if you've befriended her, she will be that friend who encourages you and support you in any way possible to achieve your dreams and goals. she ha a passsion for self improvement so when she sees other do so she is all in for helping them. when most people hesitate to do things they love or are curious about, soojin always backs them up and pushes them to try new things. even though she is a person of little words when you do something right she is sure to smile and acknowledge your actions and doing by believing in you and letting you know how proud soojin is. even if its the littliest 
decision they make, soojin is happy for them because god knows how controlling mothers can be during the social seasons. she doesn't have a lot of close friends but many girls from other houses do have good words about her. for her self improvement she's is challenging herself or the other person by challenging oneself, sharing experiences and failures. it is from there that she will see the other person's reaction before she decides to further their friendship. she can usually tell when someone pretends to be supportive but show no real interest then goes talk behind her back or when they actually listen and show empathy which was what lady suji did, that is why she became fond of suji. suji actually listen and seem geniuenly interested in soojin. when she notices that what ever she is talking about is boring the person in front of her she just shuts herself up and becomes more reserve. we dont share any common interest so there is no point in continuing any conversation thats how she thinks. with people who show interest besides being comfortable enough to vent its when the other person notices the little thing about her and compliment those thing about her besides her status and appearances. with her close friends she shows more of her vulnerability and she lets down her guard, because she feels she wouldnt be judge for feeling or saying certain things. towards just regular acquaintances she is polite and super formal, still strong headed but acts perfect, where as towards her close friends they get to see her silly, happy, sad, and emotional side. 
 
BACKGROUND born to the house of ko, her father a duke who governs jeju-do island genertation after generations. born as the middle child with two older sisters who has been wed off the the mainland and a younger sister who is 18 and a baby brother who is 14. her mother was the duke's second wife as his first wife of his first two daughter passed away from sickness. unfortionately at the age of 8 her mother also passed away from sickness. her childhood was robbed from her so quicky when both her two older sister wed off and she was left to tend her heartbroken father and two younger siblings. of course they had maids and butler to help but she always felt she had such a big responsibility to take care of her family. her serious nature and determination to be the best of the best stem from this event. she started enjoying sitting by her father side as he attends his political gatherings. soojin was just so curious about everything and her father who did not want to deprive her of anythig let her learn what ever she wanted whether it was horse riding, sword, cooking, martial arts, politics, and even diving into the hard water of their land to source for clams and abalone with their local diving women. 

growing up the girl had few friends because not many girls liked how she smelled like the sea or always argueing over the smallest details. guys, they fancy her and made offer for her but for all the wrong reasons, they fancy her more for a challenge rather then taking real interest in her. soojin learn to just shut people out unless she felt they were important or had the same energy as her. 

when she was old enough to attend the social season gathering people had heard plenty about the mermaid princess from the island. the mainlanders mostly gossip about how her qualities couldn't match up to even a baron's daughter. perhaps she has something to hide that is why she acts so tough and rude. soojin personally wished the gossip was worse because she dreaded the thought of marriage and wanted nothing more then to take over for her father if possible. she has argue with him plently of times ever since she was old enough to enter the social season. "soohyuk is a dimwitted 14 year old, how is he to take after you?!" she loves her siblings but she hates that her little brother is still a careless 14 year old who wants nothing to do with politcs. 

attending the season, she often make her abigail tag along and doesn't distant hersek from her at all. as much as she hated attendng these she knows she needs to leave a good impression on the queen and she would never want to tarnish her father's good name. when they offer their arm she takes it with a smile and dances along. soojin's impression is always lovely at the season but comes the visits to her estate, the men comes to find she is too overbearing and does not return. soojin attracts more old men with her knowledge in politics and interest then the young ones because they don't find it as amusing. although her father wants to marry her off he would rather have her live a lonely life then to send her off to some old geezer.

Queen Sujeong / Imperial House of Kim / 4-10
— soojin has yet to have any real one on one time with the queen. the queen do know of the daughter of ko, since her two older sisters were quite 
diamonds in their seasons. however as years after years soojin still stuck around coming back every season despite all the gossip of how unperfect she must be thats why she has not wed. the queen took notice of her, she does feel for the girl since she knew and was friend with soojin's mother. she knew soojin's mother but the queen would never give anyone special treatment. soojin really looks up to the queen and sees the queen as a great role model, she adores the queen and always seeks to approval from the queen. however the queen does give her tough love. she wants to impress the queen more then impressing any men.
 
Ko SangJoong / House of Ko / Father / 9-10
— her father is everything to her. as rebellious and independant as she is she also likes when her father compliments her and gets his best wishes. when she lost her mother and he got remarried, soojin never felt like she wasn't loved. he calls her his youngest even though he has two younger one but they are from another wife. he couldnt help but show her more love when she had no siblings from the same mother, felt like she was left alone. she could go to her father about anything, he adores her and enjoys listening to her vent. even know as old as she is, when she is frustrated the best thing to calm her is by holding her fathers hand or arm while talking a walk through their garden or by the ocean. people find her hard to read and figure out but her father can tell with just one look at his daughter on how she is feeling or if she is exhausted. 
 
Lady Suji / House of Min / Friends / 7-10
— when her father heard of the highly regarded daughter of Min he knew he had to introduce his daughter to her in hopes that lady suji could help influence soojin. lady suji was invited to the island and soojin welcome her and took care of her stay. the two were awkward at first but lady suji was so kind that soojin immediately took a liking to her. they are by far polar opposites but they did have some common interest and when they found those interest they talked for hours. Before Suji got married soojin would visit her home once a season just to catch up and she always came with fruits as gifts. lady suji was nearly the only person who kept soojin sane at the social seasons when suitors were not lined up by her. when she found out lady suji was getting married she was so happy but sad as well. theyve only known eachother for 3 years but theyve become close.
 
Hak Miyoung / no house? (im not sure) / Abigail(Maid) / 8-10
— older by a few years but so much more mature. the only person on the earth who sees to truly understands soojin. yes she may nag a lot and scold soojin but she knows soojin like the back of her hand. she even knows soojin's footsteps. the two joke around a lot and you can hear miyoung laughing always at how soojin vents because she adores soojin whe soojin gets angry. wherever soojin goes miyoung is goes too, to make sure soojin doesnt get hurt or get herself kill from doing dangerous things or argueing with the wrong people.

Lord Yul / House of Lee / Friend's Husband / 5-10
you're marrying who? for sure soojin had thought suji was going to marry the prince as much as she hated the idea of 
marriage and all the rumors that surrounded the prince she still thought that suji was perfect and if the prince was looking for perfect it would be suji. she doesn't know much about lord yul besides how great of achievment he had made for the imperial family and government. she looks up to him and sees someone as super fascinating. of course she found out she asked if it was what suji really wanted, she wanted all the details. she felt some what jealous that her friend was getting taken away because she never seen him fancy her or show affection so at first she was hostile towards him but it only took a few assurance from suji that he was a kind husband for soojin to finally rest a bit. she still keeps her eyes on him though, he may be a great role for country but for her lady suji she wants to keep him on his toe to treat her right.  the two get along but are still uncomfortable and awkward when left alone without suji.

"he is like opium, makes you feel good
but is really bad for you"

— hak miyoung
 
PERSONALITY 
+ outgoing, bold, cheerful, observant
- sensitive, conflict-avoider, narcissist, implusive 

tradition and expectations does not exist in hyunbin's dictionary. of course if he must sumit to higher figures he would but other things he likes to try new things and really test his limits to finding new ways around his life. the outgoing man doesn't hold back and has no comfort zone. he is a walking experiment. hyunbin is a positive thinker and life to him shouldn't be all about restriction and serious things, he really rather not focus on the serious sappy stuff. he is the light of the party and brings up the enegery where ever he is. he jumps at any opportunity that means fun. he doesn't live in the past or the future but in present time. the time is now and its what i do with it, is his moto. 
he does what he want he want and no one can really get the man to change his mind. he never thinks of the consequences but does what his heart tells him at the moment.

hyunbin knows his look is godly and uses it to his advantge whether its to get drinks or a little pleasure, doesn't help that his voice is as deep as the ocean. he  enjoys being the center of attention but would never rudely hog anyone's spotlight. he loves himself but he knows when to stand down and let other shines. he likes living a quick pace lifestyle but he can't help but be observant. when he sees that somene is more timid and shy he slows down for them. he picks up social and emotional cue rather easy and knows how to brighten the mood. his witty response may sometimes get him into a little trouble with the wrong people but mostly he can befriend anyone. 

hyunbin avoids conflict as much as possible, he hates to stay on such sad or angry topics when you could be having fun and laughing. it causes him to be quite sensitive though when people critize his personality or looks, he takes it offensive and will retort back with an arguement, however he does turn around pretty quickly. so as fast as he gets angry he can becomes happy again. while on duty conflict is on another level, he looks for his leaders and higher ranks to direct him, although still implusive and can be explosive on what he should do when it's someone of higher 
status he knows to shut up and just listen. like he'll say his piece and if he gets shut down, he let it go. if it is in the spar of the moment hyunbin is someone to take action on his own and what ever happens he confidently takes responsibilities. with any quarrel he rather not argue and agrees quickly for things to end and move on. even with his new status as knight there are still higher rank who mentions his past and uses it agaisnt him and as much as he wants to punch them in the eye he swallows and moves on. whiles those of his rank or lower he has more confident in being in control or leading. he likes to challenge them and when its someone of higher rank he still likes to tease them with a challenge  when it isn't too serious. just how did he become good friend with the fearsum commander? he just never backed down and didn't coward away like most other people. when people took a step back he took a step forward. stupid but brave lord yul would say.  
 
BACKGROUND born of a baron's son, house of kwon. he was always just as fun and lively when young, heaert broken a lot though because of his lower status but that never stop him from flirting with wealther families' daughters. at his first season he made head turns with his looks but his status only got him dances and when he sent flowers most maidens politely accepted but never a visit. their parents warn them off and show displeasure to have him engaging with their daughters. when he decided to join the military that was when he became more infamous. he fought along the prince and duke of lee so well that he was taken in as knight under the duke of lee. from there on out his lifestyle changed. he became obsess with this new attention he was recieving, it made him happy because it felt ike a slap to those people who looked down on him. 

all his season afterwards, lots of maiden waited to be introduced to him so they could dance with him, many waited the night just so he could ask for their arm. he is such a flirt that he would lift the maiden's own fan to their lips before 
advancing for a kiss, of course in secrecy away in the dark gardens. he knew his way around a maiden's heart with his words, mouth and hands. like opium, makes you feel good but is really bad for. most maidens heard of him but can't help but fall in love with his honey like words. he would hang around one girl long enough for people to think they are engaged and then never be seen with her again making people wonder if it was that the maiden was incompatible or was it him. hyunbin simply enjoy the chase more than the prize.

"he is detestable!
i promise i will knock the living daylight out of him!."

— lady soojin
 
THEIR STORY they are no longer stranger to one another yet they have not held any conversation longer then 10 minutes. being friends with the duke of lee and lady suji they two have cross path and heard plenty of each other. while hyunbin is quite curious, soojin wants nothing to do with the man. over the course of 6 years seeing him season after season and how he is rumor engaged to a maiden then is dropped suddenly has caused her to look at him in a bad light. she seen those maiden cry and she's even seen first hand of him playing with a maiden's dress in the garden once. all she wanted was some air from the ball and she stumble upon the promiscuous action. when they first met he dare ask her allow him walk her around the garden and when he pulled her fan to her lips. "sir hyunbin i am giving you to the count of three to remove your hands before i sock you in the throat."he was quite shock but admire her for being so brazen. 

she dreaded seeing him and dancing with him the most, but if she was to refuse him meant she was refusing to dance the rest of the night and she did not want to leave any bad impression on the queen. they've once dance for nearly 30 minutes. she could only hold her smile while he whole heartedly  enjoy seeing her suffer. 

with his two good friends settling down hyunbin has made soojin a conquest he must win,. settling down still seems like a far away goal but perhaps wnning soojin would be enough for the moment. she has been the best chase in his life since she disliked him so much yet in front of the queen and season she had to act proper and polite towards him. with the duke and suji though the two know how hyunbin's and soojin's relationship is actually like. lord yul often tells hyunbin to treat her nicely because she's been through a lot and lady suji has assure soojin that although hyunbin comes off strong he is actually a sweet heart who cares and protects those around him very much. 

the two are very different but also very alike. they share a common pssion about friends and family, they are both driven and strong willed, they both have trauma that shape them into who they are, and they both find it hard to comfort emotions. to a certain point when no one understands them they understand each other the most. one thing they also agree on is that they dont understand why their friends are getting marry. like yes they are at a ready age but it seem so rush to them and they are just sad their friends is getting sweep away. they'll end up become closer that way as their friends invite them to places together and they see on another more and more. from enemy to frienemy to friends and maybe lovers?
