★ ▬▬ character information.  

name: Lee Taeri
nicknames: n/a
birthdate & age: June 25, 1995 | 16
place of birth: Seoul, South Korea
hometown: Seoul, South Korea
ethnicity: Korean
languages spoken: Korean (fluent) | English (moderate) | Japanese (basic - conversational)
personality: Blunt and overly loud, Taeri is one to speak her mind and speak it loud. A lot of times you will find Taeri jumping and dancing around the house, just singing her little heart out until she's content. She always gives her honest opinion unless there is something that she knows might hurt someone's feelings where she prefers to keep it to herself, instead. Taeri gets easily frustrated as she tends to tear up even if someone raises their voice up a small notch. However, she doesn't like others to see her pain and suffering, so she easily hides under an image that tells everyone that she's okay. She hides everything under a smile that fools everyone, making them all believe that she really is a happy girl all day, every day. She is the most hardworking person you will ever meet in your entire life. When she is given a task to do, she completes it by giving it 110% of her effort.

Generally Taeri is an overall caring and sweet girl with a bright attitude. People tend to enjoy being in her company because she always knows how to break a silence and knows how to make people happy. She never likes to make people angry and she would rather keep her problems to herself so that other people don't feel burdened by her problems. With a natural aura of innocence, she does not have a corrupted mind and instead has the mind of a child. And even though she may not mean it, her aegyo may come unintentionally because of this innocence that she has, which further leads to her naive mind. Believing practically everything that people tell her, Taeri is easily prone to falling into someone's trap and tricks. This young child tends to trust people a little too easily and will often end up getting hurt. She never notices many things and is quite oblivious even to the obvious. Especially if it comes to someone that likes her, she will never notice. She will take it as a sign of being friendly and nothing more. A child in a teenager's body, Lee Taeri is best described as optimistic with a knack for acting like life is always good.

background: Taeri currently lives in a different part of Seoul with her aunt. When she was young, her parents sent her and her brother to a dance class to prepare for her entertainment career. However, her brother ended up showing more potential in his dancing, and Taeri ended up getting the shorter side of the stick. She was neglected by her parents because she wasn't as good as her brother. They figured that since her brother was already good enough, they wouldn't need Taeri. She never got any of her parent's attention and she had to raise herself from when she was only eight years old until she was twelve. Finally, she decided to just leave the house, since they didn't pay attention to her anyway, and went to live with her aunt, who was willing to take her in as her own child. Her aunt encouraged Taeri to do what she loved – dancing. She always gave her compliments and made her feel good about herself. Taeri would always be informed about any recent auditions because her aunt would take down flyers or give clippings from the newspapers. The girl auditioned for several companies, but the first one to respond to her with arms of acceptance was TS, which she openly accepted.

★ ▬▬ love life.

partner: Kim Myungsoo (Infinite) | Gong Chansik (B1A4)
his personality:
[ Myungsoo ] Myungsoo is known to give off the cold, distant aura when people first see him. Why? Because with just one look, you could feel the cool aura radiating off of him. (He is the visual of his group, meaning he needs to maintain this image.) But honestly, he is a fun-loving type of guy that laughs quite often and makes attempts at doing aegyo. He likes to crack jokes to the people close to him. Myungsoo has never experienced his first love; therefore, he is a bit unexperienced and doesn't know much about the concept. He is a bit awkward when it comes to girls. He is obviously in an awkward state when he is embarrassed as well, but it’s what makes him cute. Myungsoo is the type of person to deceive others with his looks; he may look like the cool, cold type of person, but really, he's just the laugh-loving type of guy that can have his stand-still moments. 

[ Gongchan ] He’s the maknae of his group, B1A4. He is often like an awkward turtle, where he doesn’t know what to do except smile and nod. Gongchan is very active and likes to move around a lot. He likes to laugh and joke around with his friends, almost like any other person. Gongchan enjoys doing a lot of fanservice on camera. For example, he always makes hearts with his whole arms, or sometimes just with his hands. He makes the V sign all the time when he sees a camera pointed at him. Off camera, he is an overall cutie and definitely acts like a maknae should - pestering his hyungs, doing unintentional aegyo, or just being the dorky Gongchan that likes Pororo, the cartoon character.
family:
Lee Taejun | 49 | entrepreneur | alive |  Taejun is Taeri's birth father. He was the type of man that liked to take risks with his company in order to create new income for it. He didn't mind making investments because he /knew/ that he was making the right choice. And in the end, he always did make more money than what he had put in - he made profits. He's the type that only cares for success. He figured that because her brother was already successful, there was no need for Taeri to be around. He never paid any attention to Taeri as a child and still doesn't. Even after her debut, he doesn't seem to care much about her because he still prefers her older brother.

Lee (Park) Sooyeon | 45 | magazine editor | Sooyeon is Taeri's birth mother. She came from a rather wealthy family and was used to being pampered. Being accustomed to giving orders, she would be the type of mother to make her children to the things she wanted and did not take "no" for an answer. She is the type of woman that always gets what she wants. She shows this trait when her children don't do what she wants, she will get greatly upset. She doesn't care for Taeri until she sees that she has become an idol because she believes that having two idol children would make her image look even better and would better impact her magazine. She wants to take her daughter back because she is now successful, but Taeri refuses.

Lee Taemin | 18 | SHINee's maknae | alive | Taemin is Taeri's older brother. These two get along rather well, despite the unequal treatment received from their parents. Taemin often tries to convince Taeri to return home and rejoin the family, but every time, she refuses and changes the topic almost immediately. Like normal siblings, the Tae siblings will bicker with one another every so often, but if there is someone else that picks on their sibling, they will always be there to protect each other.

Lee Miyeon | 39 | Baker | alive | As Taeri's aunt & current caretaker, she is a warm-hearted woman that basically emits sunshine. She is very forgiving and normally likes to give people second chances (unless it's Taeri's parents, who she said she will never forgive for abandoning their own child.) When Taeri's mother tries to reclaim Taeri under her care, she refuses and says she will do anything to keep Taeri away from her parents. She cares a lot for Taeri and openly supports her with her dreams because she believes that everyone's dreams are worth fighting for.

friends:
Yi Kieun/Keely | 16 | trainee | alive | Together, these two are always deemed as twins. Taeri tends to say that Kieun is the sister that she never had - they often have the same thoughts and will sometimes complete each other's sentences to the point where people think that it's weird. They tend to balance each other out and keep each other level-headed, bringing out the best in each other. With an arrogant and confidence-filled outer shell, Kieun shields her inner emotions and can easily trick people with her sharp, sly tongue.

Lee Sungjong | 18 | Infinite's maknae | alive | As the ultimate diva, Sungjong has the ability to make girls envious of his feminine body shape while also making guys envious of his flawless facial features. A child full of curiousity, cuteness, and charm, he is able to wiggle his way through his hyungs' barriers to get what he wants. But with Taeri, she's grown immune to his "cute" antics and will not fall for them. Together, Taeri and Sungjong are known as the "dynamic duo" - the two that fit perfectly together and will see each other in no other light except as best friends.

Jo Kwangmin | 16 | Boyfriend's rapper | alive | An alien from another planet, Kwangmin is known for his 4D personality and his ability to blank out and wander off as if in his own world. A total child at heart, Kwangmin will do anything for his partner in crime, Pikachu. He tends to be a bit talkative and people see him as a bit... strange. Taeri, however, finds his actions to be completely normal and will ocassionally join him in his 4D world. Naturally, these two find comfort in one another as they are able to perform random gestures without the fear of being judged.
