appearance. kemi is mixed so she has darker skin than the average korean, it's really her eyes that give away her half korean identity. she's actually pretty tall at 170cm tall and 49kg. she got legs for days and a cute eye smile and a gummy smile to match. she's slim yet takes care of her body by eating healthy (usually) and staying active by jogging and playing sports. her hair is naturally a curly afro she barely ever straightens it she rather show off her curly hair since it's what makes her unique. her natural hair is almost shoulder length but she likes to experiment with extensions and braids since her parents can do it for free. now she has curly extentions that make her hair to her lower back and loves putting accessories like bows.
fashion style. kemi is super girly, she loves dresses, skirts, heels, accessories, all of it. as a teenager she keeps up with what's trendy but doesn't really let it dictate her whole fashion sense. she just gets inspo from that if she likes it. most of her inspo comes from designer brands and social media. she gets sponsored gifts sometimes so that helps too. when she wears her uniform she always wears it neatly with cute accessories to match.
don't hate me!
personality traits. esfp
pos — mature, innocent, friendly, realistic, positive
neg — naive, indecisive, stubborn, impulsive
elaboration. kemi is so cute, she gives of such an innocent and bright vibe. she has the ability to make anyone feel comfortable even if they don't know her well since she talks to easily. but not too much, she's still socially aware so she won't overtalk if she feels shut up vibes from the other person. she really picks up on others emotions easily, she's so perceptive you can't hide anything from her. so if she sees someone down even slightly she'll try to include them to cheer them up.

she tries to look on the positive side of life. when she was younger she heard bad comments about being half black and her parents reassured her that she shouldn't let salty strangers affect how she lives her life. so now thats what she lives by, she refuses to let negative people bring her down. she's learned to ignore the hate long ago and do what makes her happy. she has no intention of changing herself to fit into society or be liked by others, those that are meant to like her will like her. she has no problem openly talking about her struggles to educate others. she's just really inspirational and mature for her age, her parents raised her to be wise beyond her years.

but just because she's self confident doesn't mean she doesn't have her time of insecurities. like any other normal person she has her days of feeling not pretty enough and peoples words still hurt her sometimes. but she prefers not to give them the satisfaction of seeing her cry so she cries later. during those times she calls her parents or solbin or hanjun to help her feel better, especially her parents give her great advice while solbin just threatens to fight them and hanjun reminds her how beautiful she is.

all in all kemi is still young. she's still indecisive and asks her friends and parents opinions before doing something even though she'll most likely do it anyways. she has her pouty, sassy, and moody moments. she has bursts of energy that makes her impulsive. she's still learning and naive because she wants to believe the majority of people are still good natured. she's still a person that has emotions and makes mistakes like anyone else.

background kemi's parents tayo abubakar and kim yooyeon met at seoul national university, she always had an interest in african culture so it was no surprise to her parents that she'd date an african man eventually. they dated all throughout college and she moved to lagos after college to live with him. she came from humble beginnings but him, his grandfather was an industrialist and founder of a conglomerate focusing on manufacturing, infrastructure and agriculture. he told her he came from a well off family and did buy her a few lavish gifts previously but she didn't know he was the heir to a company worth $2.5 billion. she lived there for five years and they decided to get married. her parents were against it at first, they were fine with dating but didn't want a half black grandchild, especially since she was their only child. though after going to lagos and finding out just how wealthy he was they changed their mind. 

after finding out she was pregnant yooyeon moved back to korea to be with her parents because tayo became busier with his family's business. she would rather have the comfort of her parents than go through it alone or with a maid. kemi was born in the luxury neighborhood of seongbuk-dong, seoul, south korea where she grew up in a beautiful two floor house that you only see in the magazines. her mother didn't have to work another day in her life since her dad financed everything, but she opened her own hair brand called lewa, which means beautiful in yoruba, providing high quality wigs, extensions, and haircare products with natural ingredients. her hair brand is now in stores all over the world from america to africa. she also opened a few hair salons under the same name in different neighborhoods all throughout korea and some in japan.

her parents were well aware of the struggles of being an couple in korea so they were worried about the struggles their child would face. so they didn’t sugarcoat anything for kemi, they warned her about those kind of people and taught her to love her skin color and curly hair. they did a really good job explaining the situation to her without scaring her or making her anxious to make friends. they even went to her elementary school to talk about race in front of her class and educate the kids as well. but dealing with racism was unavoidable, kemi always went to the best private schools but first and second grade were the hardest for her. she had friends but their parents were the ones that stopped them from hanging out calling her dirty.

she remembers a specific incident when she saw her friend at the park on the weekend and went to go play with her. but her mom whispered something in her ear and she went back to tell kemi that she couldn’t play anymore. instead of just being sad and accepting it kemi went up to her mom and told her “i’m not dirty! i’m beautiful like chocolate! your mind is dirty for making fun of a little girl!” the girls mom was standing there all shocked and embarrassed and suddenly a bunch of kids went up to kemi to be her friend because they thought she was cool. that’s where she met solbin who went up to her and said “i like chocolate”. that was the beginning of a life long friendship, solbin became her best friend and they did everything together. after second grade school got easier because all her classmates accepted her. she didn’t let the ignorant comments of parents or random adults in the street with nothing better to do bother her because she was confident in herself.

when she entered jeguk high as a day student she was popular. since she looked different she was memorable and her personality always left a good impression. at one point she was even voted class president. during her first year of highschool she started posting on social media, only tiktok and instagram. it was all for fun, she mostly did random dance trends with her friends but the summer before this school year one of her videos went viral because she looked like jennie from blackpink. suddenly she gained so many followers and her life totally changed, she spent the summer vlogging and even started a youtube channel. it wasn't a surprise for anyone that knows her because she was always super bright. but all the negative comments and boy problems just might give her a dip in confidence.

lifestyle. after school kemi has either volleyball, dance, or cheerleading practice. then she has a private tutor everyday that helps with different subjects. her weekends are spent going to events she's invited to or going to trendy spots just so she could vlog about it. she also does a fair share of vlogging during class to show her school life. she doesn't let it take over her whole life though, her mom always makes her do her homework first before vlogging or hanging out. some weekends she just spends time with friends and goes to music shows, concerts, fanmeetings, or idol cafe events.

PARENTS. tayo abubakar & kim yooyeon, entj & enfp
kemi's parents are the ones that shaped her into the amazing person she is now and she’s really grateful for them. She tells her parents basically everything and they’re just happy that she became such a bright girl despite the struggles. she lives with just her mom at the moment but her father visits every few months and videochats often so kemi keeps him up to date too. kemi’s parents are super chill, the kind to bring cupcakes to her school for her birthday. But they're not overly chill that they never discipline her, they let her know when she's wrong and if she does bad with a grade its usually her dad to get upset than her mom but her mom does relay the message. She’s close to both of them, obviously moreso her mother since she's the one that's around. her mom is unafraid to speak up about things and bring attention to needed issues, especially regarding kemi. at first she struggled to make friends in the community but after a while she was accepted because her hair salon business was booming and she's open to discounts for friends. that doesn't mean that they don't talk bad about them behind their back though.


BEST FRIEND. jung solbin, 3b, enfp
solbin aka binbin/binnie is kemi's best friend. she comes from a wealthy family too and loves singing and dancing so she features in kemi's videos the most. she wants to be a musical theater actress so she's a member of the drama club and dance club. Though when it comes to academic work she's tragic, she has an air headed and clumsy personality Solbin is like a second mom to kemi. Since they’ve known each other for so long and she’s sees the struggles that kemi has been through she’s very protective over her friend. She’s ready to fight anyone that even looks at her the wrong way even though kemi could very well defend herself. Anyone that talks badly about kemi has to get a long rant from Solbin about how she’s the bestest friend ever. they do everything together and support each other wholeheartedly.


FUTURE BOYFRIEND. kwon jaeung, 3b, estp
kemi saw jaeung many times but they were never in the same class. since freshman year he was in the basketball team and her in the cheerleading team so she cheered for him many times. she didn't know him very well but was always attracted to him, she even told solbin who agreed. he was popular, the good looking athlete that dated a few girls already and always boosted his own ego somehow. so when he asked kemi out almost randomly in the beginning of the school year there was no way she'd say no despite not know him very well. she never dated and whats a better first boyfriend than a hot guy like him? the news spread quickly and so did their relationship. the pda was real, between practice he'd just go up and kiss her and the whole team would ooooh. between classes they'd make out at his desk and he always had an arm around her waist, sometimes his hand drifted a little too low. he took her first kiss in front of the whole class after his friend dared him, which isn't nearly as romantic as she thought it would be but she didn't complain. she was always with him, the relationship was really public and picture perfect, the basketball player and the cheerleader. 

kemi was head over heels because on the surface he actually treated her well, it was like a dream come true for her. though he tried to rush through a lot of things when kemi just wanted to take her time. he was already her first boyfriend and first kiss, it all happened so fast. she even introduced him to her mom and brought him over many times. though for jaeung he never brought her to his parents, using the excuse that his parents were rarely home anyways. they didn't even hang out in his neighborhood because he was afraid his parents would find out.

their three month relationship ended because kemi wouldn't have with him. she overheard him talking to his friends and he confessed that he just wanted to know what it was like dating a foreigner, there was no way his parents would ever accept him dating a black girl anyways. after hearing that she went up and slapped him on the face. though they still see each other in class and at games, kemi ignores him. but sometimes jaeung would still make y comments at her just because he's a jerk.
tamura hanjun
class. 3b
FACECLAIM. p1harmony's soul

personality. infp. hanjun is the observant type. he is half japanese and born in korea though due to being biracial he got bullied a lot, both physically and verbally. they use the excuse of getting revenge for their ancestors that had to deal with the oppression from the japanese in the past. korea and japan still don't have the best relationship and some of his bullies went as far as to tell him that he should kill himself just because he was japanese and could never be korean. it made him really shy and avoidant of people, even ashamed of who he is. he rather keep to himself and draw than make friends. he's basically invisible, he's actually used to people forgetting he's there and his name. due to the trauma he's fine with it.

he actually joined jeguk last year because he had to transfer since he was bullied so badly at his other school. so far his life at jeguk has been peaceful, no one knows that he is mixed and he plans on keeping it that way. he asks teachers in advanced to call him lee hanjun instead and writes it on his papers too. if a teacher is calling his name he usually cuts them off at "tam-" so no one knows his full name.

love story. Hanjun fell in love with kemi the minute he saw her. He thought she was the most beautiful person he’s ever seen. He’s a lot more shy than kemi and Solbin so he was intimidated by them a bit at first. not many people know him because he's so quiet. his mom actually focred him to join the basketball team but he's always benched. he's the only one that never gets invited to team hangouts, even the coach forgets about him.

he always hated jaeung, he knew how much of a jerk he was just from how he talked about other girls. so when he saw kemi dating him earlier in the year he really hated it, he was like a ghost glaring at them but no one ever noticed. he knew jaeung didn't love her but couldn't say anything about it because it wasn't his place. 

it was after they broke up that he planned to talk to her though he never got the courage. kemi was going through a hard time, the breakup and all the hate and racist comments she would get on social media for no reason made her feel less than. she felt ugly, like no one would love her. it was hard to tell solbin or anyone because they didn't know how it felt to not belong in your own home. she still acted happy and unbothered but her subtle mannerisms said otherwise and hanjun could tell.

when no one else was around he tried to put a letter in her locker but he got caught by solbin. she was about to beat him up because she thought he was doing something mean until she read the letter herself and almost cried at how beautiful it was. he begged her not to tell kemi its from him because he wasn't ready yet to confess his feelings and solbin kept her word. for weeks she knew his big secret and almost gave it away a few times but waited for hanjun to act on his own. the boy was taking forever and never got the courage so instead solbin worked her magic and tried to get the two to interact and talk to each other since he was way too shy. 

interaction. at first its really awkward because hanjun is well, awkward. kemi has no idea why solbin keeps pushing her towards this kid that was basically mute or why she kept inviting him to sit with them at lunch but she always welcomed him either way. hanjun would mostly show his interest by listening to her and accompanying her places or doing things that would make her feel special. eventually they would become friends and open up to each other, their mutual understanding of the halfie struggle would bring them closer and confide in each other more in private. slowly that friendship turns into a relationship.

after dating They would have that adorable and innocent puppy love that doesn’t go beyond simple skinship and pecks. Sometimes he just sits back and admires her beauty while she talks with friends. Solbin has to smack him back to reality more often than not. He stands on the traffic side so she doesn’t get hurt, he opens the door for her, they send each other sweet texts all the time, he’d make an extra lunch just for her because he knows she loves Japanese food. They’re just the couple you wanna be and basically rub it in your face because they’re so damn cute. She's not afraid to gush about him either, it makes Solbin wanna vomit sometimes (in the most supportive way possible). he'd make an awkward appearance on her TikTok since he can't dance at all. But he usually is the person behind the camera. he treats her like she's always wanted and they make each other feel loved.

comments / suggestion. no idea if this makes sense because she's all over the place but here she is.
scene suggestions. 
o1. her and the model plotline end up going to the same fashion show and he can't get rid of her after that having no choice but to be her friend

o3. after jaeung finds out she's dating hanjun he talks bad about her in the locker room on purpose and hanjun finally fights back. or him and his friends try to bully him. something like that.
