• tanaka, ryuu | jan. 4th | 39 | marine/business person | alive | reserved; private; childish; impeccable. those are the words to describe ryuu. he has fatherly senses, able to figure out when something was wrong with his daughter. a smooth talker, a witty person, a busy, busy man. he loves his daughter to heart, and even if he was busy, he'll make sure he has time for her.  | he played her father, but also, her mother. they're close. close to the point where she would even tell him who her crush was or who was talking about her. whenever mari has something to say, but is too shy to tell her friends, guess who she comes to? him. he's her structure. did i mention they have a remarkable father/daughter relationship?  

 

• han, minyoung | apr. 4th | 38 | baker | dead | minyoung was a frivilous, flirty, and demanding woman. oftenly entitled a material girl — though, she really wasn't. just a woman with high standards, really. she was sweet, bubbly even, in her teenage years and that still stuck. inside, she was a classy woman. | birth was mari's first and last memory of her mother. she has heard stories from her aunt and let's say, she doesn't like them. everything is really hush hush and she doesn't talk about her mother a lot.  

 

• byun, baekhyun | may 6th | 20 | student | alive | they're cousins (mari's mother's side — her aunt han jiyoung is his mother) and also happen to be very close. baekhyun's the one that goes to her for advice or he goes to her, vice versa. he's the younger brother she never had. she's all smiles and sunshine when she's with him. and, that also occurs to baekhyun as well.   

 

family background: On the 28th of December, 1991, Han Minyoung gave birth to a beautiful, shrieking baby that weighed 4kg, who had her dad's nose and her mother's eyes. She didn't come out of her mother's womb crying out profanities, wailing like it was the end of the world, no, that was her mother — and that might possibly be the only memory she has of her. Krystal couldn't blame her, or wanted to in the first place; Tanaka Ryuu was difficult and childish and irresponsible in every sense of the word but he loved his baby girl to his wits' end. He may not have been the best parent in the world but he was there for her every step of the way; something she was sure her own mother wouldn't have been able to do.

 

After turning five months old, they moved back to Ryuu's hometown in Tokyo where she spent most of her life growing up. He had a good job, made enough money to support himself and his daughter with the help of his dear sister, Ai who helped raise Mari like she was her own. At one, she learned how to walk. At two, she learned how to talk. At three, she could open doors on her own. At five, she realized her mom wasn't ever going to come back.

 

Mari was a naive girl but she wasn't stupid. She was aware that asking about her actual mother's whereabouts would turn her into a mess and that after a few mishaps, it was best to keep most things to herself. Ignorance is bliss, Ryuu would often tell her and those were the words that she lived by. If you saw something, just pretend you saw nothing and walk away — but there were certain times where such things were difficult for Mari to do. She's hardheaded and sympathetic, the worst combination of traits, and usually did do the opposite of what her family told her not to do. Including talking to strangers, but that's only because she believed that they were just lonely.

 

Elementary school was a breeze for her, except for the times when boys would pull her pigtails and she would accidentally kick them where it hurt most because that was what her father taught her! That got her into a lot of trouble so she learned how to defend herself emotionally, to put mental barriers around every corner of her mind because letting people in, she thought, was a weakness, a vulnerability, but she hardly defended herself physically due to her tiny frame. (Her favorite word was "dummy". She called everyone that pulled her hair dummies and that made them cry.) But even being as tiny as she was, it didn't stop her from playing in mud, running around, playing hide-and-go-seek in the dark.

 

The rest of her life from that point was, rather, bland. Her father was in and out of the house, leaving her alone. School was boring; but she made a few friends along the way. Her aunt Ai moved to Canada — leaving her with nobody to depend on for "girl" advice. And now, she's in Seoul because of her dad's job's relocation. Which happened three years ago, at the age of seventeen. Now, she uses her mother's surname instead of her father's just to fit into the environment around her. 

 

 

friends: 

• best friend | nam woohyun | feb. 8th | 20 | waiter/student | greasy, greasy, greasy. what more can i say? he cracks jokes, says compliments as if they're vowels, and tries to hook up with any dashing girl he sees. he's loud and cranky — some people do wonder how he and mari are best friends, even. but he's a romantic. he has feelings, too. and he treasures his group of friends deeply. hurt them, and you'll have to deal with him. | people find girl and boy friends weird. but they don't. they're close, really close. you'll often see them talking, pranking other people together, or even, tickling each other if they're that bored. like a true brother and sister.  

 

• best friend | hwang "tiffany" miyoung | aug. 1st | 23 | manager at p-ink, a clothing store | calls herself a happy virus, still, because she loves to make people around her feel happy. or precisely, just her friends or some people she knows (but then, she has a tendency to befriend with anyone). a great cook, although not a really great one. somehow, she can make kimchi jjigae perfectly by herself. and she's always longing for her mom's homemade dishes, all the time. she's the motherly one of the group. scolding them if they do something wrong or giving them a pat on the head if they did something right. | along with woohyun, they make the three best buds and are close enough, they get called "family". though, tiffany and mari are more close to each other than with woohyun. secrets are told and lies are barely spoken. tiffany is the one mari goes to for some girl time; shopping, eating, etc.

But, don't let his face fool — he's a strong judge of character. A first meeting with sour tones is bound to be an only meeting with Luhan. He is an advocate for the underdog, should he ever become aware of bullying situations. He's incredibly private about his past, and anyone who delves too deep or bothers him too a point will find nothing more than an ice cold shoulder. There is no clear gender bias to any of his sudden detestments, as his original bullies were both male and female.

As a side-note, he has a very strong sweet tooth. In case, you know, anyone wanted to try and get close to him or apologize to him or perhaps just surprise him with a bit of special happiness.
