  x — Get To Know Me
Traits: Motherly, empathetic, outgoing, understanding, Confident, wise, cute, Pessimist, pushover, naive, perfectionist

Personailty: 
yera is like a mom, she is dependable and takes care of people like her kids. she just naturally takes that role with everyone she meets. Probably because she didn’t have a loving mom to understand her she tries to be that for others in such a judgmental society. So she can understand others problems well and she is there for you when they need her. shes very good at giving wise advice and a warm hug but when something goes wrong she tends to blame herself.

She is very outgoing and makes friends easily. On the outside she is confident and fierce, it took her many years to build that confidence. In reality she has her times of insecurity, especially when things go wrong she doubts herself and becomes pessimistic. This is only for herself though, never for others. She is very positive towards everyone else. when it comes to dance she can be a perfectionist with choreography and doesn’t take a break until shes done so she exhausts herself. Then when it isn’t going well she doubts her abilities.

She gives people the benefit of the doubt and doesn’t judge until it’s too late and she gets hurt. Thats why her friends are so protective. She has seems strong but is very soft inside and surprisingly cute. She gets flushes easily at compliments and loves cuddling her friends.

  x — My Work Life
work background:  Yera came from a Christian family that was very close minded and strict. She was a ballerina that was closed off from a lot of the world so when she graduated highschool to study dance in Seoul she explored a lot with getting to know herself. She dyed her hair every other month, wore crazy outfits, partied often and wanted to meet all types of people. In her second year of college she discovered waacking and vogue at an underground gay bar and fell in love with it. She quit ballet not too long after and decided to focus on learning that and other dance styles. She joined and won some competitions over the years, joined and left some crews, basically getting a name for herself in the process. That’s how she ended up where she is today, a choreographer and dance instructor at 1million dance studio and apart of 1million dance crew. Now recently a solo artist that debuted in 2021. She’s happy with where she is in life but she hasn’t talked to her parents in over 8 years.

schedule: her schedule is different each day because it depends on what she has going on. She is either tEaching at 1million, choreographing, practicing, guest teaching somewhere else, teaching idols Choreography, backup dancing, rehearsing or performing. Sundays are usually her only days off but not all the time, it all just depends.

daily routine: no matter the time she wakes up she dOes her skincare routine and makes sure to eat at least a small breakfast because she gets hungry Easily. The rest Of her day is spent at worK which she loves so much that it doesnt feel like work to her. Since shes usually too tired to cook she Orders a lot. On her spare time she likes to gO to Her friends gay bar or hang out with friends in geneRal. On her days off she sleeps in And likes lazy days like watching neTflix All day.

During the show: 
For the girls: just from seeing evan he was totally her type. She will talk to others but will feel the instAnt connection with him. She wants to find her match but will always follow her heart which is evan. The two wiLl partner up quick and wouldnt take loNg for them to act like a couple and always choose each other. They would be like the parEnts of the house that help everyone else since everyone is positive that thwyre a match and want a connection like theirs. She wouldnt envy the other girls, if she has a problem with any of them like they are flirting with evan she wOuldN't feel thReatened unless he flirts back. She would be friends with theM all like and be like a mom and gush about evAn to them too.

For the guys: Going in, evan is only interested in getting to know his match romantically. He came because hes not Capable of Finding the right girl on his own so he will listen to rhe matchmakers. He can tell that yera is abSoutely his type and Will cater To her From the beginning. He wouldnt flirt with any of the other girls or flirt with them, hed just be with yera In that way. As an ameRican he is More open to skinship and pda, even though she is shy and blushy she really lvoes it.

ending: they end up together hopefullY but feel free to make them crash and burn to make it more interesting
 
  x — Last Words.
comments. hello! I hope my ideas Were CleaR. Theyre basically the parents and ideal couple of the cast 
scene requests. 
- they get a  small matching tattoo with evan giving it to her and himself 
- evan's commitment fears creep up on Him After a while that hes been coupled up with yera and instead of choosing her for the date he cHooses someone that he inItially found very attractive just to make sure. Yera is deVAstated but he later realizes that he only wants yera and he was just repeating old patterns.
- they meet evans mom and she finally approves of someone!
