persona: the two best friends
personality traits: impulsive, narcisstic, indecisive, selfish, instinctive
personality: ❝ the not so californian girl — when people hear california, they think of liberated, wild, and free. they tend to forget that there's a part of california where houses are 1 minute walk away from one another filled with vast grasses and treets, views of nothing but big mountains and grounds. welcome to fallbrook, san digeo, where your local grocery store is a 20 minute drive and the korean grocery practically an hour away from where they live. honestly, it was a setting in which chaeyoung felt forced to fit into since her personality suited more of a city girl than someone who grew up with a large tree yeard filled with fruits in her back yard. nonetheless, her small and quiet home town did not stop her from being who she wants to be. she's a good multitasker, enjoying being restless. naturally outspoken, this girl will say what she wants people to know but that doesn't mean she doesn't know when to keep shut. however, too often than none, she does have her moments where she ends up blurting things out. which is why chaeyoung isn't very reliable either when it comes to secrets. she doesn't have a lot of people she considers as good friends either. so if you're on her tiny list of "best friends", then lucky you because this girl will be your partner, cheerleader, and diary all at once and trust her when she tells you she'll take your secrets to the grave (that is her only exception, sadly).
❝ princess in the house — she's a social bumblebee and finds it easy to get along with others, just a little bit reluctant on who she should share her stories with. she's also one of those girls that holds their chin high whenever they walk in corridors, only because she believes that the way a person holds herself reflects a lot on her personality and characteristics. albeit this, she is a strong girl, emotionally and mentally but don't be surprised to realize that she has two personalities. one minute demure and doting and the next wild and unpredictable. this also goes along with her quick emotional phases, one minute happy and the next totally over her head and depressed. those close to her know how normal this is. unphased by her quick 3 second emotional roller coaster, they'll usuaully reason this out as her undecisiveness (which is most of the time, true). one of her key traits is her risky personality. risks are something she isn't afraid of and maybe that's why she's so adaptable when it comes to changes. with her charm, she'll be able to persuade even a rat to come play with a cat. her persuasion skills are no joke and something that helps her with that is her bluntness.
❝ not so perfect afterall — however, this is also why she's so undecisive. she's so rash and quick to make decisions that she's often left with these strings of questions, wondering if she actually did something right or something that would scar her image. however, she's very straightforward when it comes to expressing her thoughts and she isn't afraid to have different opinions from others either. when there's something she doesn't want, she won't say she'll stick up with it, unlike the others who doesn't have the guts to say anything. albeit to all that, chaeyoung admits that her personality overall is contradictory but in fact, doesn't mind it at all. she views it as her main 'charm', like a chameleon ready to change its' color and skin. this girl can be very persistent if she wanted to. although there is always a lot of people to advise her, she usually doesn't listen to anyone but the voice inside her head. she decides with her instincts and, well, is either right or wrong. she's hard headed, a bit selfish, often vain, and sometimes has, has a not so nice temper. she's been given everything she wanted since she was a child and maybe that explains why she's the type of person that wants what she wants right away. she isn't the type to wait she's also very vain and shallow, narcissism at its' best. she complains often, and is very impatient. she has a competitive heart and doesn't back down from a challenge. however, one of her biggest flaws would be thinking too much and overanalyzing situations and words. she usually spends sleepless nights just thinking and thinking, thinking of a bunch of things all at once. rejection is something she isn't familiar with either and it's ironic, since she's such a risk taker. however, since she doesn't usually get rejected, she is unfamiliar with the emotion, thus lost and confused whenever she gets turned down.
likes:
↬ chai tea latte — its her most favorite drink in the world. nothing is able to calm her down after drinking a cup of this drink. whether its hot or cold. especially during times when she needs to focus like exams, she'll usually go to her favorite coffee shop and get a sip of this
↬ boba tea — although not usually up for sugary drinks, boba teas are her only exceptions. her usual flavors are early grey (her ultimate favorite!), peppermint (only 50% sugar), and if shes feeling extra risky with the sweetened drink, she'll order wintermelon milk tea
↬ shopping, shopping, shopping! — who doesnt like shopping? this girl goes shopping almost always all the time, thus resulting to her being scolded at all times
↬ going out — there isnt anything more fun than to go out with friends and family for her. she especially liked going on joyrides with her best friends since she lived in an environment filled with trees and mountains
↬ reading — although she doesnt look like your general bookworm, she actually loves to read
↬ scents — the scent of the grass after the rainstorm is over, buying new oil, and testing new fragrances, there's nothing that this girl doesn't like about aromatherapy ↬ cold weather — her favorite weather is winter! she also likes it when its raining
↬ eating — she especially likes the eat all you can places. her favorites are pancakes, ramen, sausage, and eggs. ps, she's a sushi lover!
↬ animals — shes a big dog lover! shes an absolute animal lover and is always seen with her pet dog miniature poodle named Maui
dislikes:
↬ hot, humid weather — she dislikes the sticky feeling she gets whenever its hot, she feels as if she needs to take a shower every hour or so
↬ waiting in a long line time — if theres something you cant expect her to do, it'll be to wait in a really long line. she's never been the patient type and nothing will stop her from complaining when she's put to wait
↬ tight and fitted clothing — she has exceptions but one thing you'll never seen in this girl are tight and fitted clothing. she isn't usually fond of body fitting clothes either
↬ flying bugs — one of her pet peeves are flying bugs. its not that shes scared of them, its more of the annoying feeling they give
↬ boredom —this girl absolutely cannot stand not doing anything and will most likely busy herself by even cleaning and organizing ↬ not being able to buy what she wants — chaeyoung is pretty impulsive and when she wants it, she wants it right away. not getting what she wants usually leads her to sulk and whine, but usually forgets about it later on due to the fact that what she wants varies and changes so quickly ↬ being badmouthed — ironically, she hates what she loves to do most, which is gossiping
habits: ↬ buying things she doesn't need — you can call her an impulse shopper all you want because she knows how much of a shopper she is. she usually ends up selling them after she's worn it one time or two since she gets sick of her clothes pretty easily. it's the same for her cosmetics and other things ↬ not finishing what she's started — she'll start a drama today and vow to finish it within the week but you'll find her going back to it a month later since she claims she's forgotten all about it but really she just felt too lazy to check on it again ↬ nagging — this girl will anag you to death when she wants something done. she will not stop until you do what she wants you to do ↬ actng on impulse — since she's pretty impulsive, she does things without a second thought and this usually leads her to regretting it later on ↬ biting on her lower lip — this would explain why she always buys lip scribs. chaeyoung will usually nibble on her lips and end up with chewed skin all over.
hobbies:
↬ shopping
↬ playing with her dog
↬ going out for a jog when she's stressed
↬ organazing her planner
↬ going out with friends
↬ watching movies and dramas
trivia: ↬ she's only been to korea twice, once when she was in elementary school and the second time when her maternal grandmother passed away ↬ her dad is 100% american and her parents met during an injury while working on field, ↬ after 10 years of marriage though, her parents divorced and her dad moved to chicago with his new family. they stayed behind california and moved to fallbrook, a quiet suburbian town ↬ for her 20th birthday, she got her first credit card which is tied with her dad's card ↬ her ideal man is actor ji hyunwoo ↬ she can speak english better than korean but she can speak her mother tongue well since it's the language they use at home ↬ she's always late when you meet her outside of school. like everytime. so don't expect her to come early, she won't ↬ her least favorite subject is math ↬ she did ballet as a child and has always liked running ↬ she owns an apricot toy poodle named maui ↬ doesn't really like cakes with too much chocolate (unless its twix and kitkat since those are her favorites) ↬ she drools in her sleep. something shes not very fond of
background: chaeyoung, or otherwise known as julie in school, was born in san diego, california to a korean mother and korean-american dad. when she was in elementary school right before she entered sixth grade, her parents divorced and both herself and her older brother moved to fallbrook with their mom. however, that didn't mean she didn't see her dad often. unlike her brother woobin, who is hostile around their dad, she usually flies to chicago to stay with him and his new wife (who is awfully nice to her). it was also in her sixth grde when she started to become involved in sports. there, she met her long lost sister from another mother, her best friend, victoria song. being in a town where koreans were rare, she was glad that she found someone who was like her, which was victoria. they both did cross country and lacrosse and it was during this year when they became extremely close. since then, they became inseperable. for her 22nd birthday, her dad granted chaeyoung and victoria 2 tickets to seoul, which granted them the whole summer in a hotel he is a stock holder for, the grand.
