Appearance Solji has a bunch of ear piercings on both ears, and a circular birthmark on her left collarbone.

Style Solji is a little worried about losing her youth (from having a child) so she still dresses in sort of the same way she did before she was a mother. She likes to be comfortable, so she can't pass up jeans and a T-shirt, but she loves boots (ones with heels or ones without) ans will wear them with every outfit. If she isn't wearing jeans and a T-shirt, she is usually in an oversized shirt and leggings with her favorite sneakers. When she works she will wear business casual clothing (usually consisting of a button up or a cowl neck with a cardigan) and her beloved boots. (if I didn't explain it well enough and you want links let me know)

Personality She is a lazy but active woman. She is incredibly lazy unless it is something that she wants or something that interests her. For example, in school she would be doing her homework in the classroom on the day it's due. But when it came to science and medicine she would stay up all night, reading, studying, writing, and learning. When she is into the subject matter, or really wants the outcome she will give %300. She is very intelligent (despite her laziness) but much like anything else it only applies to things she is interested in. A defining characteristic of SolJi is that she is probably overly compassionate (this makes her a fantastic therapist). SolJi loves with her whole heart and does everything possible to show her love for people. She is the kind of person that can notice small details in people that give her insight into their emotions.

What goes hand in hand with her compassion, is that she is very sensitive. What I mean by that is, the things that hurt her the most are the little things people do. For example if she were in a group of people who were joking around and chatting happily and someone were to make a comment about her [not even one that is intended as mean] and there is a small chance it will be taken badly, she will take it as an insult, like the person does not like her, and will become hurt. Another example, If she weren't home and her family bought food, if they didn't get any for her, or there is nothing left when she gets back, she'd be hurt. Things that make her feel like people don't care or don't like her makes her upset. She also has a little bit sensitive about her son. She is always worried that people think negatively of her as a mother because she refuses to change who she is just because she has a son and if someone makes any sort of negative comment about her as a mother or her son she gets quickly angered.

Even though SolJi is so emotionally charged, she dosen't like to let it show, because she feels it will make her look like a bad mother. She deals with her emotions by herself in private. On the outside she is a silly, fun mother (she wants nothing more than to hold onto her youth and see her son smile, so she does her best to stay fun). She likes to joke around and have fun in almost any situation (When she is working of course she conducts herself in a professional manner). If the atmosphere is boring, she will make it fun with jokes, games, and all-around silliness. She is the kind of girl that usually gets along with boys better than girls, she finds them more easy to relate to, and less judgmental about her style, and overall more fun. Because of this she is completely comfortable with skinship when it concerns guys, this usually isn't received well in public because skinship is mostly unacceptable unless it is with someone of the same . On the other hand, skinship with girls makes her feel strange, and incredibly awkward. ( I feel like I still have more I should include, but It should be explained through the rest of the application.... or clarified at least. Let me know if you want more.) Oh. I feel like this might be important. She is completely enamored with the unconditional love that she gets from her son. She can't get enough of it.

She has an obnoxious amount of stuffed animals (most of them are in her son's room.)

Shee is afraid of clowns

She can't snap her fingers  or whistle

Lifestyle She is in the middle class (her job gives her enough money that she never really needs to worry about not having money, even if she spends it irresponsibly). Her and her son live in a nice apartment in Seoul (a balcony, a big kitchen... the whole 9 yards. She wants only the best for her son) and she is divorced. Her ex-husband decided he wasn't ready to be a father because he wanted to finish school (which is how SolJi became so determined to be both a mother and finish school).

Background Her family wasn't rich, nor were they poor. They are basically your average family, a mother a father, two boys and the youngest is a girl. SolJi's mother worked for an airline, and her father was a businessman doing what businessmen do (SolJi never really cared enough to find out). They lived in a two-story house in Jeonju, Korea with SolJi's older brothers. Before SolJi was born the family moved to China (where her father was born). The kids went to school, came home, did homework, hung out with friends (the usual.) The family (mainly the parents) were insistant on not living in China forever though. What the parents wanted was for the family to become a well-traveled family, and even set up a live in another country. Because of her mother working on an airline, they got to travel a lot. SolJi and her family has spent time in  Japan, Thailand, The U.S., even some bizarre countries like Finland, and Iceland. They wanted their children to be children of the world, they wanted them to explore every culture, and know that they could go and do whatever they wanted. So they constantly had the kids in extra language classes so they could communicate.

SolJi loved her family, they were always nothing but loving, and she knew they really only wanted the best for eachother. But there was something that was amazingly annoying, and she really couldn't tell what it was. Perhaps it was the traveling, because she was constantly getting pulled out of school and out of the country which made it basically impossible to make friends. She spent a lot of time on the internet after getting into her first Biology class. She would spend all of her time learning about Science and medicine. As her brothers got older they moved away, One went to Finland, and the other went to America. SolJi (with her parents blessing) moved to Korea to go to University. Her parents payed for her living arrangements until SolJi got her Bachelor's degree and began to make enough money on her own. She wasn't the best student in the world, but in the classes she loved (Psychology, Human Biology, Neuroscience, Chemistry) she never got below an A.

She met her husband when she was in college. He was the same as she was, they were both very fun-loving, and he was working on  the same Psychology degree as she was so he was very in-tune with her emotions. Her parents didn't like him very much, they said that he wouldn't be the one, Solji ignored it and carried on with the relationship anyway, but parents have that way of always being right. The pair got married quickly (probably too quickly) and before she knew it she was pregnant. He left almost immediately, afraid that a child would ruin his chances at his great career choice, but SolJi couldn't dismiss the idea of a child so quickly. Fortunately for her she was only a couple of months away from her degree and got a job in the Psychiatry office after her son was born (she stayed at the same office, working as both a therapist and a psychiatrist). She dosen't mention her ex-husband to her son, and ignores that he existed herself. As far as she is concerned, he dosen't exist.

For the most part, her and her family don't speak often, She assumes it's because of everrybody's busy lifestyles. They are not completely out of touch, they have met HaJun a few times, and there will be occasional phone calls, but there is not frequent communication (Really, she will see them maybe once or twice a year, and talk to them maybe once a month What it comes down to is : Solji is so busy in her own life and her parents still work that it's hard to find time). The first 2 years of raising her son were difficult. She was trying to juggle full-time Medical School, full-time work and an infant at home. Eventually, she ended up seeing one of the therapists at her own office to get things off of her chest, and that is what helped her through the first 2 years of having a baby.

(If you want me to elaborate more let me know. I tried to cut it down a little bit because I was afraid it would be too long)

The Knight in Shining Armor

Name Huang Zi Tao
Backup Oh SeHun
Age 24
Occupation Private Consultant (Medical, he's not a doctor, but deals with patients for non-modern medicine....like herbal stuff)

Personality He is a very conservative person. He dosen't generally go out of his way to speak to people, and will usually only speak when spoken to. It's almost like he has a socially-awkward outer shell. When people get to know him though, he is quite fun-loving, and can be very funny. He enjoys playing around, and loved the concept of aegyo and uses it frequently (with the people he is comfortable with of course). He is also very intuitive and really reads people well, he has an excellent memory, and he uses it to remember all of the natural herbs and supplements he reccomendds to his "patients". He is the kind of person where, when he makes a friend he is 100% loyal to the person/people (and if they allow, spend all of his free-time with them)

Relationship SolJi and Tao met through their work. SolJi has a patient come in ranting and excited about all of these medicinal herbs that she had been taking, and how they were making her loose her baby weight (she was seeing SolJi because of Postpartum Depression). SolJi asked her how she knew what herbs to use, and where she got them from. The patient happily told her Tao's office and on her break SolJi went over there. She wasn't very happy that her patient had done a complete flip from depressed to thrilled in a week, and thought that there might have been some funny business going on with the "medicinal herbs". SolJi and Tao got into an argument concerning the herbs, Tao thought the result was perfect, while SolJi thought it was almost like giving an addict drugs. Eventually (after yelling at eachother in chinese...both were too angry to realize they werent speaking Korean anymore) SolJi and Tao came to an agreement that if in a month the same patient was still happy SolJi would apologize and recognize his form of medicine.

Regardless, the two became good friends, and Tao became a father-figure to HaJun (unofficially). He would spend his free time every day with SolJi and HaJun (he would be with the two all day if he didn't work) even though he lives seperately.

The two together are very playful, and Tao fits into SolJi's adverterous nature perfectly. He is very caring toawrds her (almost motherly) making sure that she eats, she's warm, she's gotten enough sleep, and she isn't overworked from her balance of work, school (which she does online) and HaJun. SolJi's personality is no different when she is with Tao, although she has been trying to find time to spend with him alone without HaJun around. She looks out for him in the same wya he looks out for her. They both have very cheerful and playful behaviors (opting to play on the playground rather than watch HaJun play). Tao is also very conscious of SolJi, he can recognize any negative emotions within her, if she has been hurt he can tell and he will confront her about it.

 

 

 

 

The Fire-Breathing Dragon

Name Zhou HaJun
Nickname(s) Junnie
Age 4
Birthday June 23
Ulzzang
Jang Min Kyo ( gallery )
Backup Lee Byung Jun ( gallery )

Personality HaJun is a hyperactive little maniac. Like most children he loves to play and he is very outgoing, he has no problem walking up to a complete stranger and talking to them. He can be a bit brash, and a harsh with his words, but recognizes his mistakes and apologizes. He's a pretty smart kid, since his mother is insistant in talking to him in two languages, and it always talking to herself, reading, or watching shows about medicine and science. Granted, his understanding is limited, but he will try to use umma's big words regardless. He is very active, but he will be calm while eating omurice with his mom (and sometimes Tao) in the morning, if he is watching science-y TV with umma at night (or watching her do schoolwork), and when he is sleeping. Just like his umma HaJun loves with his whole heart If HaJun cares about you, you know it.

Background When HaJun was born, SolJi had gotten the job at the Psychiatry Office, and his father was already long out of the picture. He never knew his father. HaJun was raised by SolJi alone (thanks to her great pay from her Psychiatrist job). She was never a bad mother to him, and quickly adopted rutines so that she could work go to school, and take care of HaJun all by herself. HaJun was 2 when Tao showeed up in his life. HaJun took to Tao quickly though, and Tao took to HaJun quickly. If HaJun was asked his fathers name, or who his father is, he would say Tao. HaJun has a farily average life (as far as going to school, and being a child) but his home life can only be described by fun. Whatever HaJun wants to do, or eat is what they (Tao and SolJi) do or eat (as long as it is in reason). It's really a miracle that SolJi or HaJun get any homework or learning done.

Hobbies & Habits

He will talk to everyone in the mixture of Korean and Chinese (Until they tell him to use just one)

He likes to pretend he is a doctor (He thinks that is what SolJi and Tao's jobs are)

Helping umma with her homework (he thinks hes helping...)

He chews on things when he is focused... like watching TV or doing homework (he'll chew on chopsticks, straws, his sleeves, pens, pencils)

Trivia

He wants SolJi to get him a pet (little does he know she is looking for a pet for his 5th birthday)

He would rather go to work with Tao than go to daycare, and he will get cranky when he goes to daycare.

He likes wearing hats (beanies in particular) and it is the first thing he looks for when he wakes up

He genuinely thinks Tao is his father

He is left-handed

The Extra

Suggestions Mmmmm..... nothing. I just hope you have fun with them (if you choose them. I tried to make them as fun as possible)
Comments Alright... I'm sort of having problems explaining Tao and Solji's relationship. They are friends, but like I described in Tao's personality, he's the kind of person where, when he makes a friend he sort of sticks to them like glue (he will sort of always be around). Because of that he is always with SolJi and HaJun, If he isn't at work he will come over to SolJi's apartment early enough to join in on the omurice and cartoons morning routine, and he will stay with them all day if he can (of course because of this he helps SolJi with HaJun). Within the past year of their lives, Tao will actually take HaJun out without SolJi to play or do things (usually when SolJi needs to work and HaJun dosen't want to go to daycare). Essentially, Tao is playing the role of a parent, but to Tao and SolJi they are just best friends (It just sort of happened, being friends with SolJi means being friends with her son). Does that make sense.... I guess it's getting a little more complicated than I thought it would be.

Oh, and if this still dosen't make sense, I will switch their relationship to dating, and have them live together. To make it easier (:
