 Serin's style depends on her mood and the occasion that calls for it as she had no preference and just called it 'her style'. still though her style is either simple, casual, chic, cute, comfy, classy, y, and/or girly.

what is she like?
PERSONALITY TRAITS
 tranquil, reserved, compassionate, strong-willed, quick-tempered, selfish, cunning, obstinate, tough, clever, self-control, fearless
 
ELABORATION
 Serin is someone with a peaceful and calm like demeanor as she doesn't partake in a lot of things and wants to be free of disturbance unless provoked or feels the need to intervene. this at times make Serin determined in doing what she wants despite what others may say or think about her or her actions although she does respect authority as long as it is in no way to demean or belittle her just to humiliate her to show a sense of power. Serin honestly doesn't really care about others' feelings unless there is no ill intentions behind it, but somehow it does cause her to become easily angered when she's denied or hindered from the things she wants to do of her own free will. then again to which causes Serin to lack any kind of consideration for others and those around her if the other person has ill intentions in regards to her own health and safety.

 for Serin though, at the end of the day it doesn't really matter as she doesn't owe anyone anything unless the other party has been nothing, but respectful and sincere towards her. still though, Serin will achieve what she wants if she has to work harder, strive further, and put focus on her own self. of course this also makes Serin quite stubborn to which she hardly backs down from and refuses to change her opinions and isn't easily persuaded to do so. Serin does admit humble defeat when she's bested or is proven wrong without any sort of mockery. anyways, Serin may not look like it, but she's quick to observe, understand, learn, devise, act, and apply ideas into action and on the spot when needed or to avoid unnecessary friction. Serin may look like the one that gets into trouble or start something, but she for sure will be the one that ends it.

 anywho, over the years Serin has gain first-hand experiences of dealing with mental and emotional pain causing her to be quite aloof and indifferent with people. whether it'll be with her peers, adults, or those trying to get close to her. the only exception are kids as they're innocent unless taught different. in all honesty, Serin has trusts issues and wades the water before attempting to grow closer to somebody unless a connection is made and Serin finds herself able to relax and let down her guard to accept them into her personal space. another thing is despite how she wishes for someone to understand her without trying to pry themselves into her life, she has since over time strongly learned to keep her emotions and desires in check. Serin may be unapproachable and unfriendly, but it's just a front she puts up to protect herself due to her upbringing and has difficulties in conveying her real feelings, but her actions speaks louder than words. even more so, Serin isn't afraid to be herself and has an unwavering attitude towards those of similar vibes knowing how it feels to be lost and lonely. she just won't outright say it, but she'll be there in her own way.

 all in all, Serin may seem like an inaccessible person that has way too many layers to sift through yet there's a certain charm about her that draws you in no matter how much you wanna look away. once you get to really know her does Serin seem like someone that was just neglected for far too long and unable to socialize in a friendly manner. this is where others might show Serin a little too much affection as they just wanna give her all the love and attention for some odd reason that Serin still doesn't understand, but comprehends its a protection of sorts of how they wanna love her. anyways though, once Serin gives her all and her trust to you, you best believe that she'll dedicate herself to you and that's a promise she won't break unless the other party breaks it first. So when that happens, be prepare for the cat's paws that will latch on and not let go until apologies are made and the other party admits fault. honestly, Serin appears cool and cold, but deep down, deep down, she's just a hard cinnamon roll that may claw and fight back if provoked enough.
 
BACKGROUND
 Serin was born in to a family of four consisting of herself, her parents, and her older sister. things became complicated when she turned three as her father had a gambling addiction which led him to having a drinking problem. both came with violent outcomes of harsh words and even harsher actions. as for Serin's mother, well, she began working more, but by the age of five it seemed that the workload just add more stress to their already stressful life. Serin's parents always took out their frustrations towards her and her sister, but never quite the same at one another. although both of her parents did have frequents arguments and broke a lot of things while at it. they always made the daughters clean up and if not, well, some physicality and threats were demostrated and shown to let the two sisters know who was in charge.
 
 anyways, through all of it, Serin was raised more by her older sister, Hyerin, than by her own parents. this caused friction on several ocassions as the environment they grew up in wasn't all that ideal and they just didn't know any better. still, despite how Serin and her sister's home life was, the two actually grew closer than apart and had only the other to trust and rely on. Hyerin learned as she cared for Serin whereas Serin learned everything by watching and being around her sister. Serin's memories are filled more with her sister than of her parents. eventually the sisters became estranged from their parents when Serin pursued the path of being a singer and was accepted into an entertainment company some time in high school. she continued to strive for this new found dream of hers especially when she had the support of her sister cheering her on.

is she what she seemed to be?
POSITION: leader, main rapper, vocalist
TALENT TWIN: rap - Yezi. vocal - Yezi.
 
STAGE NAME: kim suyeong [김수영] *she uses this as both a Cherie and Fortuna member*
 means 'gold (or metal) graceful flower' in hanja. despite her rugged personality, Serin wishes to showcase a purity of her own.
TRAINEE YEARS: 4 years, [june of 2032].
TRAINEE LIFE:
 for Serin, it was tough and rigorous, but nothing she couldn't handle and just pressed on. Serin trained just as harder as the others, she stayed longer just as long as the others, focused much of her time just like the others, and she practiced from dawn to dusk and dusk to dawn just like the others. not once has she complained about training, but she has on several accounts ranted and vented about them. Serin knew she had the potential, but that alone wouldn't get her anywhere. that is unless there was a system that could elevate and mold her skills. she knew that training was the only way to become stronger, to become better, to enhance her talent into something mch more.
 
 she wasn't gonna carelessly toss that away just because she needed to put a little more effort, a little more tears, and a whole ot of sweat into practicing. because practicing doesn't make perfect, it makes you aware of what you're capable of. then again, Serin may have come off as too cocky when training, but that didn't mean she didn't care for her fellow trainees in her own way. Serin pointed out what may need to be done or suggest a different way to go about it, but there were never any malice to her words or actions. Serin offer a tip and whether or not they take it, that was on them and she didn't mind it. because at the end of the day, if you wanted this, then you have to go for it. there was no point in being half-assed if you weren't devoted to what you were striving for. then again, it didn't help that during evaluations she would include such experiences in her rap even if she didn't exactly direct them at a particular person.
 
 Serin did release one song, Believe In Me, but never got around to actually releasing a full mixtape.
 
ARTICLES:
 pictures of her circulating around claiming Serin to be a 'sasaeng' fan of all, one, or some of NCT. it's because she's seen to be around the members during their visits to SUM Cafe and waiting for them (along with actual sasaeng fans) in front of SMent, but really she's just trying to access the area for the food and snacks itself as well as trying to see the earlier/older artists, but NCT are just in her way.
 
ALIAS: park sieun [박시은]
STAGE NAME:
 yes and Serin wanted to overcome another part of herself and to reach the peak that she knows she can climb and be proud of who she was and what she can become.
FAKE BACKSTORY:
 Park Sieun lived with a grandmother and an older sister. the sister traveled quite a lot for work whereas the grandmother passed before she could debut. Sieun couldn't express herself well, but found a way through the art of rap. she buried herself into the hip-hop scene and studied hip-hop history while looking up to other rappers for inspirations.
 
LIFE IN THE PAST:
 Serin honestly enjoys it because she could visit the places her sister talked about as Serin had no recollection of them. as for past musicians, Serin and her sister enjoyed the older KPOP era and so Serin's inner fangirl checks out the hip-hop scene along with trying to spot the said idols she and her sister talked constantly about to direct their attention elsewhere that wasn't home. she wanted to see how they were like here compare to themselves in the future. as for being an idol trainee herself, Serin finds that it's still the same with training, but that the fans really do dictate their idol's life a bit too much as if they owned them.
 
 she found it really crazy how most companies allow it and that it's a make it or break it kinda era. other than that, Serin adapts to trying to do things the 2018's way than her 2036's way and finds a weird comfort and enjoyment in doing them. although there is a piece of her in wanting to visit her family of the past as it's more for her sister than her parents. she also wants to see her baby self. Serin really wants to see how innocent and young she was yet she knows that she can't do that as it'll alter the future and change herself, too. still, the thought never leaves her, but restrains herself from acting on it when she misses her sister. it's like she's close yet still so far away, and knowing that won't leave her alone.
 
ARTICLES:
  another image or two of her circulates around online of being once again an NCT sasaeng fan.
who's around her past?
A7v0hMG.png
HYUN TAERA
Serin still sees the same person Taera was in their present, but knows that the girl has learned to overcome whatever it is that holds her back in the past. actually grows closer to her in this era than their own era.
A7v0hMG.png
FORTUNA
she and the others actually grew closer now as the substitute of their legenedary sunbae. still, to live up to what they heard over time is a lot different than living as them at that moment.
A7v0hMG.png
BRIAN MOON
she honestly finds it so hard to believe how Brian was in the past than in the future. like he's such a jerk, but then again she reminds herself that he does change and isn't like this anymore. yet, Serin can't help but find enjoyment and has like inside jokes of her own whenever he's around.
A7v0hMG.png
SEO YIHYUN
to Serin, Yihyun is like the same, but just like a lot younger. so she doesn't think of him as like an uncle, but a brother. she also senses that there isn't a sadness around him though like in the future.
A7v0hMG.png
ALYSSA MOON
she's just so caring and kind-hearted and not that much different from her future self save some things here and there. also Serin has no idea how she's still related to Brian with that attitude of his.
A7v0hMG.png
HONG YEOJUN
Yeojun is still the same in the past as he is into the future, but just younger. Serin actually re-enacts one of the incidents where she snacks around the company. it's kinda fun.
A7v0hMG.png
JUNG SAEMI
Serin finds Saemi pretty endearing and just as much a vocal trainer and caring person like she is in the future. Serin actually finds herself giggling with all the things she knows of the future to the past Saemi. like not trying to be scolded constantly and it works out a majority of the time.
A7v0hMG.png
LEE JIYOUNG
Jiyoung like Yeojun is the same in the past as she is in the future. yet for some odd reason Serin finds her like super cool and chill in the past than in the future. Serin also knows how to avoid in getting scolded frequently, like with Saemi, but unlike the vocal trainer, it doesn't always work with the dance trainer.
A7v0hMG.png
RA JAEWOONG
the legend music producer himself and Serin really can't contain her inner fangirl some times, but she has to as she cannot change the future by acting irresponsibly in the past. still that doesn't mean she can't admire him and hope as this era's Fortuna member be able to create the sound he had forged with Fortuna like in Serin's future.
A7v0hMG.png
ETHAN SEO
for Serin, seeing this past Ethan as this much younger version of himself of the future really blew her mind. she could now understands bit and pieces of why he did what he did and how much he has grown then to now. Serin also sees him like a sibling than she does as a sunbae.
who's around her future?
A7v0hMG.png
JANG HYERIN
her older sister and her only family that matters. the one that supported her in all that she did and encouraged her to live life to the fullest without regrets. honestly, if it wasn't for Hyerin, Serin wouldn't have known how her life would be like if she wasn't there a part of it all.
A7v0hMG.png
HYUN TAERA
Serin admits that the girl is talented and Serin wishes she could dance as well as Taera can along with them vocals abilities, too. she just hoped that her talent will let her know she's a precious person. anyways, precisely not that close to one another, but Serin recognizes the layers of Taera and how she struggles to be her real self, but only Taera can free that part of her. other than that, she's never harsh to her, but just a little tough love here and there.
A7v0hMG.png
CHÉRIE
more or less close with the members, but well enough to work as a team to make the group cohesive without too much issues. although hopes to live out of the shadows of their sunbae, Fortuna.
A7v0hMG.png
BRIAN MOON
Serin remembers the very first time she met the CEO and Founder, Brian was all smiles with a gentle kindness to him. yet Serin detected there was a sadness within him, too. she often heard him say that he's really just the 'caretaker' of BMent and in a way he was with how well he took care of her and the others. most times when he was in one of those moods, Serin would strike up conversations of the past and with that same gentle kindness, Brian revealed some stories before abruptly ending them and moving on to take care of the place.
A7v0hMG.png
SEO YIHYUN
to Serin, Yihyun was really like an older brother and uncle figure to her of sorts. he managed to provide her and the others with great care and whatever they needed. yet despite his helpfulness it seemed more like an act of having them become the next Fortuna. which isn't a bad thing, but it felt like the expectations floated around in her head whenever he was around.
A7v0hMG.png
ALYSSA MOON
Serin felt and almost sees her like another older sister to her, but she knew there was a gap between them due to Fortuna. Alyssa was very kind-hearted and also very mch reliable, but her smiles didn't quite reach her eyes. also the PR and Marketing done, Serin felt like they were made for Fortuna, but tweaked to fit Cherie. to which she doesn't blame her for, but knew how much an impact Fortuna had and so why change what worked.
A7v0hMG.png
HONG YEOJUN
to Serin, Yeojun was easier to read and not as hung up on Fortuna as the others, but some times she felt like she reminded him of them. it was whenever she would be snacking or eating and wandering around the company. even on a few incidents Serin believed that Yeojun had called her by another name that she felt was a nickname for one of the members of Fortuna.
A7v0hMG.png
JUNG SAEMI
Serin sees her as like how a mother should be to their child as well as like an aunt. she got scolded a lot by Saemi whenever she couldn't hit a certain note or pitch, but knew she meant well. even though she wasn't the greatest of singers, Serin was happy to know she could still carry a tun without being totally tone-deaf.
A7v0hMG.png
LEE JIYOUNG
just like Yeojun, Serin could read Jiyoung and that she focused a lot on her work as a dance trainer than being openly hung up on Fortuna. of course she got scolded a lot by Jiyoung, too, but again it made her a better dancer than when she had first joined the company. yet, there's been a few times that Serin felt a lot of the dances could've been performed by Fortuna flawlessly and would have to change some moves here and there to accommodate Cherie.
A7v0hMG.png
RA JAEWOONG
he's a music producer she respects as she has listened to all the songs he helped produce and write. especially of those sung by Fortuna. Serin wishes that in the future he would be able to lead Cherie to find their own sound and vocal colors, too. even though right now it doesn't seem likely as she has on several ocassions when he or the others don't know, but he has muttered along the lines of 'why can't they be like them' and Serin knows who 'them' is, but she's gonna say anything because she also knows that she could never be like them as she was just herself.
A7v0hMG.png
ETHAN SEO
Serin admires Ethan as well and has much respect for him as an artist although she hoped he would one day make a comeback. other than that, she could read him when he's thinking of Fortuna and their time here and she wonders if Cherie could ever really live up to their legendary sunbae and leave such an impact on him and the others.
can i ask you some questions?
❝ HOW DO THEY FEEL ABOUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES? ❞
 — honestly, Serin would be confused and worried about her sister, but she'll remain calm, cool, and collect as she panics on the inside.
 
❝ HOW DO THEY FEEL ABOUT BECOMING A MEMBER OF FORTUNA? ❞
 — to become the legends themselves, Serin is mind-boggled about the idea of it, but that won't stop her from trying to emulate the same aura as her sunbae.
 
❝ HOW DO THEY FEEL ABOUT THE PAST? ❞
 — Serin isn't too worry about the past. she's actually quite enjoying it.
 
❝ HOW DO THEY FEEL ABOUT BECOMING A MEMBER OF FORTUNA? ❞
 — is this a trick question? lol anyways, Serin's all for it despite the nerves that courses through her body. if you want to be the best, then i guess you gotta become the best.
 
❝ IF THEY HAD A CHOICE, WOULD THEY GO BACK OR STAY? ❞
 — in all honesty, Serin wouldn't know. of course she misses Hyerin and wants to return to her, but she found herself enjoying the past and maybe she found a little joy in someone else. then again, Serin reasons with herself and knows that the right thing to do is return to her present and leave the past in the past.
 
 
who's her lover?
FULL NAME Lee Taeyong
NICKNAMES
 — TY, given to him by SM's producer, Yoo Youngjin
 — Tyong, called by his friends
 — Bubu, called by his fans (but this isn't until 2020, and Serin accidentally called him this forgetting that he doesn't know and brushes it off quickly... this is her inside joke a lot lol)
 
DATE OF BIRTH (AGE) July 1, 1995 (23)
UALITY heteroual
OCCUPATION
  NCT's Leader, Rapper, Dancer, Vocalist, Center, Visual || SUPERM's Main Rapper, Lead Dancer, Sub Vocalist, Center
 
FACECLAIM NCT's Taeyong
BACK-UP NCT's Kun, NCT's Yuta
 
PERSONALITY
 Taeyong is a very, like very and maybe even highly, confident individual, but is definitely not cocky whatsoever. Taeyong's also very nice, super soft, and caring towards others, even to strangers. Taeyong definitely looks cold, unapproachable, and fierce on the outside, but he's such a kind soul, friendly individual, and at times actually a deep, understanding person once you get to know him better. Taeyong can also be quite the perfectionist, usually more hard on himself than on others. yet you can definitely hear him always nagging others, but it's mostly out of an affectionate way. when he can't express himself fully well, he does express them in his own way. whether they'll be as silent actions of cooking or a physical act of care or how he words and say things to make sure you're alright or if he can help out a way. all in all, Taeyong is a funny cinnamon roll that just wants to give people the world as he himself has been on the end of being misunderstood by others.
how does it go?
LOVE STORY
 they met one random night while Serin was out strolling late one night and wanting to clear her head as the events of being suddenly in the past mind-boggled her. kinda made her numb to it all and so thought that a nightly stroll could ease her mind back to her current predicament. anyways, she figured who knows when she'll be able to do this again after debuting and being in this time frame. so she took it all in slow strides. anywho, while Serin was out walking, she bumped into Taeyong, not knowing it was him at that time since he was covered up just like how she was. he was out with a few of the other members to buy food and for the rest of the other members as he and his group lost the game and this was their punishment. anyways, Taeyong's first reaction was that he thought Serin was a sasaeng fan that wanted his attention and was trying to do things to get him to notice her. even though he should of been normally calm and reserve about these kind of things in public and what not, but what with a lot of interest in his group and himself from other sasaeng fans, Taeyong didn't want to take any chances since he was the leader and didn't want to get the others involved. especially at night time, that's for sure. so he confronted Serin and she just brushed him off and said sorry which through Taeyong off and when Serin actually got a good look at him and actually recognized who he was, she called him 'Bubu' and Taeyong became more confused. Serin didn't wait to confirm or deny or even interact anymore and ran off. he didn't give chase as the others called for him to head back.
 
INTERACTIONS
 it's very professional, proper, awkward, and weird at times, but they just keep things in check as the public and others are very watchful and critique without hesitation. over time they interact politely as being leaders of their respective group as well as she's a hoobae and he's a sunbae. the same with her being younger and him older. yet Taeyong's curious and intrigued when she has this amused and cheeky facial expression on her face when around him and the others, but not sure why. for Serin, it's because in this era, she's only a toddler and they're supposed to be like uncles and not an oppa.
 
ENDING
 um, the ending is kinda bittersweet of the past, and maybe in the future they'll meet again despite the large as things have changed once more. still if it was meant to be, then it will be. 
 
STATUS
  as of right now they're just friends unaware of the growing feelings they have for one another. either it's oblivious or other priorities take precedent over what they may or may not feel for one another.
 
TRIVIA
 — here
YpgZkRX.png
when two people meet, each one is changed
by the other so you've got two new people.
is this the end?
COMMENTS
 — hello! hope you like Serin because... she was a doozy to write lol and a little different from other characters i write about. i based her on her assigned flower along with some idols/trainees that went through a lot, but either faded from the music scene or never got to debut in the end. anyways, do let me know about any revisions so i can edit any loose ends or elaborate more on. usually i don't do the love interest, but there's a scene i've been pushing for since back then and if she's chosen then i'll get to read it in a story lol other than that, good luck with writing the story and hope you get a lot of applicants!
 
SCENE SUGGESTIONS
 — Serin calling Brian and Saemi, Papa Ceo and Mama Ceo accidentally, but recovering fast enough that it was the slip of the tongue or their past relationship
 — a candle light talk for both as Fortuna and Cherie
 — the girls commenting how everything is different yet still the same, like the building, area, a food place they frequent, and etc.
 — the girls singing Ethan's song from the future, but in the past
 — wondering why certain songs or fashion in 2018 was popular or that in 2036 these same fashion made a comeback lol
 — the girls talking about the night of their supposed debut in Cherie and the last thing they remember and if one day they'll wake up the same and back in their present time
