⟶ Honolulu, Hawaii, USA
⟶ Livorno, Tuscany, Italy
⟶ Mons, Wallonia, Belgium
⟶ Naha, Okinawa, Japan
⟶ Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

ethnicity: Korean.

language(s):
⟶ English (native)
She was born in Hawaii so it was her first language, she later lived in Australia too so she has a slight aussie accent.
⟶ Italian (semi-fluent)
She lived in Italy for 4 years and learned a lot since she went to school there. She would speak it with Kaden often too so she never forgot it. 
⟶ Korean (conversational)
Her parents always used it around the house and she always went to a Korean church but she was never fluent. She was conversational at best, being a trainee made her a lot better at understanding than talking.   
⟶ Konglish (fluent)
Ever since she became a trainee it became her preferred language to use. She's more confident speaking Korean when she mixes English with it. 
⟶ Japanese (basic)
Since she lived in Japan for a little bit she knows enough to get around but not enough to hold a conversation. 

face claim: ichillin's joonie.
back up: Kepler's chaehyun.
height: 164cm.
weight: 49kg.

appearance:
⟶ Esther has a natural youthful appearance that doesn't quite match her motherly personality. She must be a shapeshifter because she gets told that she looks like many people. On her ring finger she has a heart that was infused with Kaden's ashes.

fashion sense:
⟶ Esther takes inspiration from celebrities like Emma Chamberlain, Lily-Rose Depp, and Taylor Russell. Unlike Korean fashion trends she is perfectly fine showing mid drift. Everything she wears centers around comfort instead of trying to impress. But she doesn’t just throw on anything, she finds joy in putting together a nice outfit.

sweet: Esther is the definition of a soft girl. That's the first thing everyone says. She's the kind of friend that encourages you to chase your dreams and you just feel like opening up to her because she's so understanding. There's not a mean bone in her body.

loyal: Esther is loyal to a fault. She struggles to let go of people and likes to keep up with friends because that's just more opportunities for her to go out. She's always there for you if you ask and you don't have to worry about her breaking your trust.
 
passionate: she puts all her effort in anything she does but its always realistic effort. She doesn't put herself to unrealistic standards. if she tries her best and is happy with the product she is satisfied. it doesn't matter that she's unpopular or gets hate because just being an idol and showing her talents is good enough to have Kaden happy.
 
empathetic: her emotional side helps her understand others easily and guide them through their emotions, she's always there for her friends and being a shoulder to cry on. In the end she gives motherly advice and a warm hug.
 
motherly: Esther has the biggest mom vibes ever. She's always the one dishing out the food and taking care of people. No matter who she's with she can't turn it off. But it comes with its bad parts too.
 
easygoing: Esther isn't the type to bluntly say anything. Usually she stays neutral to not ruffle my feathers and is naturally the one resolving problems. part of her just wants to be liked so she can have more friends but she doesn't completely change for anyone either. for the most part she's always down anything as long as its not dangerous. While she has her strict moments she's a softie that can be convinced to do anything.
 
sensitive: Esther is a very emotional person, she cries easily and can express herself easily too. But she refuses to talk about certain things still. Other than that one topic everything else she's an open book and can talk openly about her feelings to anyone. She really likes having deep conversations.
 
Controlling: Esther's protective nature comes from a good place of not wanting to lose anyone else that's close to her. But it comes Off as controlling like if her members as leaving she a ways asks where they're going or who they're hanging out with and she'd send a check in text to all her friends just to make sure they're ok. she totally forgets that they're adults and sees then as children instead. Even though she's not the leader she is still very strict with certain things. She's definitely nosy and can stick her nose in places that aren't her business just to protect her friends but they might not see it that way. 

paranoid: when Esther hasn't heard from you when she asks you to check in she automatically panics. She panics quite easily this way. It happened after Kaden's death that she became so overbearing. If she could baby proof the whole dorm she would. At any little cough or sneeze she's keeping an eye on you and already coming up with a tea for you to drink. It can be very overwhelming but fans just see it as her being motherly.
 
naggy: another motherly aspect of Esther is her nagging. Seeing someone look a hot mess she can't help but to fix them up while nagging them. Especially When she's upset she nags about the most random things and there's no stopping her.
 
dependent: Esther hates to be alone. She used to always be with her parents or Kaden so she was never used to being independent. Every time she wants to do something she asks around for who wants to join her or tries to tag along with others. Anything to keep busy and keep her mind off of Kaden.
2003: Esther was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. Her dad was in the army so she lived on the base with other military families. Her mom was a stay-at-home mom, she spent her days at the beach and playing with the other kids. She was already a strong swimmer that was unafraid of water by 2 and she learned how to surf at 3. She loved living in Hawaii and had many friends but it didn't last long.
 
2008: When she turned 5 her family moved to Pyeongtaek to live in Camp Humphreys, she didn't want to go but they didn't have a choice because her dad got stationed there. Her Korean was terrible and since she went to an international school she didn't improve much. She was still young so making friends wasn't hard. She discovered Kpop while there because the military kids put on a performance for the base and her grade did a mashup dance of popular songs that year including gee, sorry sorry, hot issue, abracadabra, again & again, mister, and genie. She realized her interest in dance but living in Korea only lasted two years until she was up and out again.
 
2010: The next destination was Livorno in Italy. Living in the coast reminded her a lot of Honolulu and she picked up some of her older hobbies. She didn't speak Italian so she struggled to make friends in school until she met Kaden who also came from a military family. It was the first time since Honolulu that she had such a close friend, even their families became good friends. They spent almost all their time together. She was on the swim team, dance team, choir and joined the school musical a few times. She learned that she had a beautiful voice then but didn't take singing very seriously. Just like all her other hobbies it was just something she enjoyed doing. Esther didn't want to leave Italy. The food, the beaches, the people was all amazing. But after 4 years her dad was given the news again. She begged and pleaded not to leave but her dad couldn't do anything about it.

2014:  She spent a year in Mons Belgium and she hated it. She kept to herself while in school and didn't try making friends. She was on the swim team but didn't try to befriend her teammates. The only time she was happy was when she talked to Kaden. To get comfort she rediscovered kpop and watched their content or listened to the music all the time. Even Kaden got into it and they played games together too. 
 
2015: After a year in Belgium they ended up in Okinawa Japan. Esther was numb to moving at this point. Her parents thought her being quiet was a phase, maybe just becoming a teenager. But 2 years in a row? They got worried. She didn't want to do any extracurricular activities which wasn't like her. She was more distant than usual and refused to even attempt to make friends no matter how much her mom begged her to try. Her dad felt bad because it was his fault that they had to move so often. Esther's mom reached out to her friends for help and they recommended boarding school. It wasn't ideal but it would at least give her some stability even though she wouldn't be with them anymore.
 
2016: Her parents enrolled her to St Peter's Lutheran College in Brisbane Australia as recommended by her moms friend. At first she wasn't looking forward to it until she learned that Kaden went there. It was hard and costly to be boarding at 13 and she had many moments of missing her parents but she liked having a home and had many friends. Kaden was always there for her anyways and during every break she went to wherever her dad was stationed to be with her parents. They could already see the difference in happiness in her. She even loved having a roommates and kept the same roommate until she graduated.

Esther thrived being with her best friend again. She was happy and went back to her old self. Her extracurriculars were always packed, she found herself on the swim team, musicals, dance team, choir and in the school band at some point in her time there.

2017: This marked the best year of her life though, Kaden officially asked her to be his girlfriend in front of the whole class and of course she said yes. The two were in lovr and did everything together like usual. They were each others rocks during hard times and support systems too. Except they were chessier and kissed sometimes making all their friends envious.

She also won her first gold at a swimming competition and she joined the korean society club. She learned more about her heritage more than ever before and became proud of it. Every semester they put on a performance whether it was a dance or a song, and Esther was always right and center on top of all her other school activities. She started the Kpop dance club as the captain and every year they would put on a performance and have weekly meetings. But still it was all fun to her, she never saw herself as an idol. Just a fan that liked to sing and dance.
 
2021: After 5 amazing years she graduated. At dinner with their families later that day he got down on one knee asking for her hand in marriage. She was really surprised but Kaden everyone else knew already. Her parents thought it was a little early but they loved Kaden like their own and supported their relationship. Of course she said yes and not only were they engaged but they also both got accepted into the University of Sydney. She spent half the summer with his family and the other half with her own. Their parents both pitched in to get them an apartment in Sydney near school and by August they moved in.

Esther was living her best life, woke up everyday next to the love of her life and went to classes holding hands. They didn't see each other much on campus since he was a computer science major and she studied nursing but they always found time. But nursing wasn't easy and Esther coudln't find time to do the old things she loved. She barely showed up to the Korean society club that she joined, her only attachment to kpop was learning dancing in their living room just because or bursting out into old songs. Kaden saw how happy she was to show him what she learned and had heart in his eyes whenever she sang. Esther always mentioned that in another life she'd probably try to be an idol, Kaden told her she should go for it but she doubt she'd make it and she didn't have time anyways. Other than that she was your average college student and had to navigate your typical college life, parties, avoiding boys, making friends.
 
2023: This is the year tragedy hit. Esther was waiting for Kaden one night after work at the hospital, it was raining cats and dogs and Kaden usually picked her up after work. But this time she waited and waited and he never showed up, even when she called there was no answer. He was never late so it was weird for him until a woman answered his phone asking her to come to the hospital she was already at. She rushed inside asking for him and was told it was too late, he already passed from his injuries. She learned that he got into a car crash with a drunk driver who sped off. She was devestated. It was almost summer and they planned a trip to Disneyland together. They were planning their wedding too. After Esther had to go home and sleep in the bed that they shared, she couldn't even sleep just cried.

After struggling through exams she got accepted to a summer internship at the hospital's baby unit in Los Angeles where her dad was now stationed. She didn't want to sit around and cry all day she rather keep herself busy. She stopped all her hobbies though, instead buried herself in work. It was hard at the internship because her and Kaden talked about having a family someday so it just reminded her of what could've been. She didn't even apply to classes because she couldn't handle going to school anymore. She still had the Disneyland trip tickets and was going to skip it but her parents insisted they go together. She didn't want to because it was Kaden's dream vacation but they convinced her to go.

For so long Esther prayed for a sign that Kaden was watching over her but she never saw. Until while on her way to his dream place, she saw a poster of auditions for Belift Lab. Kaden always said she should try out since she loved it so much. He thought her voice was beautiful and was happier than she was whenever he saw her perform. He saw the star potential in her beyond the meaning of her name. So she decided to try out, thinking if she made it that it was a sign that he supported her and after a few months she heard back from them.

Esther's relationship with her parents improved a lot after going to boarding school. Once she joined training they called her often because they were worried about her being so far away. She tells them everything except anything that has to be with her love life and she refuses to talk about Kaden. Her mom is always asking too many questions about everything and it annoys her sometimes but if her members overheard their conversation they'd understand where she gets her nosiness from. She goes to see them whenever she has a break though.

kaden was her best friend and she hasn't got over his passing. sometimes she still refers to him as such and pays for his phone bill just so she can text his number still when shes feeling down. in reality his phone is just in her drawer. but its hard to talk about so she doesnt tell anyone about him, if you know you know.

Esther knew jake was an idol but she didnt know she was at his company and definitely didnt expect him to remember her. They went to the same highschool and were in band together, he was even on the soccer team with Kaden. As soon as Jake recognized her she got some cool points with other trainees that just wanted to use her for connections. He was the only person that knew Kaden so hes the only one she told about what happened so since then he's been protective over her, always making sure shes okay and texting often. If shes going through something she'd tell him for that same reason and he's always there to invite her places to get her mind off of it. He is the reason she has all the idol friends she has because he added her to the '영어 eZ' groupchat full of idols that came from english speaking countries like australia, uk and america. But once he finds out about her relationship with Johnny, he isn't sure how healthy it is for her because he's the one that picks up the pieces when shes sad. He's team Wonbin for sure.

The groupchat that helped esther make a bunch of friends. Its very active and includes idols of all ages, there are some cliques and Esther is yet to find hers yet. So far she's been following Jake's lead and going wherever he goes to hang out. She hopes to make her own friends though. (you can choose who she becomes friends with!)

their relationship is complicated. esther met him through the groupchat and she never noticed how much he looked like kaden until now. she got drunk at one of the get togethers and was all over him. the next day she aplogized for being embarrassing and they  started texting often. even went on a few dates. johnny made it clear that he wasn't looking for a relationship and neither was she. she practically looked at him with hearts in her eyes though. but whenever she felt down and needed a sense of familiarity she ended up in his bed. to johnny its just an easygoing fwb situation but to esther its a fight with nostalgia. she knows it isn't healthy but its hard to stop.

at first it was hard to get close to rian. esther tried to always make sure she felt included and okay since she was always just quiet and kept to herself. esther learned to accept thats just how she is but the two bond over cleaning since shes usually the one to pick up after others. so they are the unofficial dorm maids but they never go deeper than surface level and both are honestly fine with that. since they're the same age they can talk more comfortably.

sungyeon was her first actual friend. after dealing with clout chasers sungyeon introduced herself as sunghoon's sister and told her who to stay away from at the company. sungyeon wants to be around all the time and esther loves that so they became attached to the hip. whenever they talk they speak konglish, sungyeon calls esther unnie instead of the other way around because she acts older. sungyeon is more of the loud hyperactive one and honestly a bad influence because she gets esther in all types of nonsense. they never fight but instead playfully bicker that esther is taking too many of her lines. She also became a wingman for wonbin but she's terrible at it because how con she hype wonbin up? Gross. she's still offended that neither her or jay will add her to the groupchat though.

when jihye joined the girls esther just saw her as another daughter. she quickly adopted her and became the mom that she is to all of the members. even though she's only a year younger, her joining late makes esther treat her like shes even younger.
stage name: Esther [에스더] or Hanabi [하나비] + i can't choose but either way its her name lol.
idol persona: the mom + self explanatory based on her personality. So she doesn't really have a persona, she's just herself and she just embodies your typical mom. 

vocal twin: lily (belle)
rap twin: n/a (n/a)
dance twin: belle (chaewon)

plotline: the moon (the eclipse)
training period: August 2023-now.
training background: After passing the audition in Los Angeles, Esther went to Korea to train. She had no expectations except for the fact that everyone must be extremely talented and she would be the odd one out. But it didn’t turn out that way at all, it turns out she actually had some talent and was pretty good at singing and dancing compared to the other trainees. Her experience and cover groups helped her develop some kind of stage presence as well so she didn’t have much work to do. Did she stand out a lot? No. But she was well rounded enough to be safe from any elimination.

The strict rules took her by surprise though and even in only a few months she thought about quitting but the thought of Kaden watching over her gave her strength to keep going. Making friends wasn’t the easiest with her limited Korean, it was hard to get close to anyone on a deep level. But she had a good relationship with anybody she came across and studied like crazy. After hearing other peoples stories she was almost certain that it will take a few years for her to even see the stage, by then she will probably end up too old to even see the stage. But to her luck she got thrown into the Cherrubliss in only a few months.

On the show Esther's Korean was very rusty and she wasn't close with her memebrs yet. She didn't stand out as much as she thinks she could have but she did gain fans. Though by the time it was over she was the least popular member and was honestly okay with it because at least she'll debut. 

predebut activities:
⟶ n/a.
 
scandal(s):
⟶ fans uncover that Esther was previously engaged (year) : in her apology she confesses that she was young and in love and he passed suddenly. she never thought she'd be an idol but his passing encouraged her to follow her passion. it becomes a big debate if she should be kicked out or not. some also become more understanding to her previous behaviors.
⟶ here (year) : explanation.
 
headline(s):
⟶ esther has a panic attack (year) : during a variety show they had to get in the car and the mc wouldn't let her sit in the front so she had a panic attack.
⟶ esther seen having dinner with a stuffed bear (year) : she was out on a date with bruno and some fans spotted her talking to it and everything.
q: hello esther (or hanabi), can you please introduce yourself?
⟶ hi! i'm esther she waves with both hands i'm the lead vocalist, dancer and visual of cherubliss. 

q: how do you feel about being in the debut line-up?
⟶ insanity. i only became a trainee a few months ago so i can't believe it happened so fast. i'm really grateful though.

q: do you have any specific concept or genre that you would like to try out?
⟶ i'd love if we try a slower rnb kind of song or something with a classical sample. 

q: can you tell the viewers a little bit about yourself?
⟶ i come from a military family so i moved around a lot but i loved kpop since i was like 5 and living in korea at the time. before becoming a trainee i was just a nursing student but here i am.

q: lastly, please give a few words to the viewers!
⟶ Stan and stream Cherubliss everyone! I promise at our first fan meeting I'll make everyone cookies!

personality:
⟶ isfj: on stage he's mysterious and hot, but in reality he's a shy detail oriented perfectionist that's scared of his own shadow, loves him a good to-do list, and has no problem expressing himself.

first meeting:
⟶ Esther caught wonbin's eye when he saw her and sungyeon filming a TikTok in the hallway. Sungyeon thought he was waiting for her but he was in a trance staring at Esther as she left. Sungyeon had to slap him back to reality.

trivia(s):
⟶ she calls him pretty boy because he's abnormally good looking but refuses to admit he's good looking whenever he asks
⟶ he gets so awkward and lame around her he seriously loses all of his rizz
⟶ he keeps asking for her to crochet things for him
⟶ he got into cooking just so he can have a reason to talk to her
love story:
⟶ after seeing Esther, wonbin came around more often. Suddenly sungyeon was his best friend and she made sure to embarrass him everytime. He tried to be cool and flirt with her but for some reason he kept fumbling the bag. Either he was just awkward or too shy.
 
Any chance he had to be next to her he did. at the snack table or on stage he made sure to squeeze his way to stand next to her. Even for group chat meet ups he convinced Anton to let him go just to see her.
 
wonbin asked sungyeon to be his wingman and instead she just straight up told her. Esther didn't notice he liked her until sungyeon told her. She just saw him as Sungyeon's friend that was always around for some reason. She has no interest in dating now but wonbin is willing to wait and wants to be person that she leans on.

ending: Up to you
