background: Jiah live in a family full of singers. Her parents were both singers and expect their children to go their path, at least as a hobbie. The parents is now managing a recording studios and many karaoke places as their job. They want one of their children to be a famous idol. Thus, they had trained Jiah and Jinwoon singing since they can speak.
Jiah went to watch her first ballet recital at the age of 6. Her aunt brought her there. She thought it was magical. She loves it ever since. She didn't have any courage to ask her parents to enroll her in a ballet class because she doesn't sure if she can dance, and her parents just so into singing. But after her fourth recital, she said to her aunt that she wanted to dance. At 9, she began her first ballet.
Jiah grew up in a very warm family. They often spent family time together. They often went to karaoke and battle to see who gets the highest score. They also watch sports together. Even when they're not on a family occasion, Jiah and Jinwoon were never apart. They always lookout for each other and spend free times together. Even though they are twins, Jinwoon treats Jiah like she is much younger. But Jiah loves it anyway.
Getting into two different divisions at Cheongsan set Jiah and Jinwoon apart for the first time. As Jiah is more and more absorbed in her dances, she doesn't have much time to sing with Jinwoon. On the other hand, Jinwoon transforms into a social butterfly. He goes out a lot with her friends, leaving Jiah alone. He never meant to, though. He still loves her a lot.
When Jiah said she wanted to get in Cheongsan in the Dance Division, her family (except Jinwoon) was furious. They didn't support her because they wanted her to be in Vocal Division. Jiah and her father fought. In his anger, Jiah's father said that she won't succeed at dancing. Those words burned Jiah, she was more passionate than ever that she decided to audition for the dance division without her parents' permission. When she got accepted, Jiah and her father slowly make up to each other. In the end, they're still family and they're there to catch each other's back.
personality: Jung Jiah is a cold person. She rarely smile, she doesn't talk much, and her facial expression is somewhat intimidating. She gets mad easily. Many people fear her. They are talking about her behind her back. She is friendless and hated, and she couldn't care less about it. All she wants to do is to prove everyone that she isn't the ugly duckling and that she can be an international dancer.
As we look into the past, we can see that Jiah was once a very sweet girl. She used to be shy, smiles much and talks sweetly. She used to look similar with Jinwoon, that nobody hate her because she is actually Jinwoon's twin. She used to play with her friends like normal kids do. She used to have a normal childhood like everybody else. But then, she got in to the Universal Ballet Academy Seoul where everybody else are just into dancing. She was 9, she just start dancing. But everybody else are dancers since they were 3. She was an underdog, she was slow in catching the moves, her technique was far behind the other girls. And the other girls started talking about her. Moreover when they knew her parents was the famous singer couple Jaehoon&Airin. They started calling her The Ugly Duckling that didn't belong there.
She was beyond sad. The first time she heard that, she was crying in her room and Jinwoon had to sing five songs before she stopped crying. Jinwoon told her to stop, because that's hurting her. But Jiah said she loves it and made him promise not to tell anything to their parents. After that day, she spent all her free time practicing her moves. She had no more time for hanging out or playing with her friends. She lost her friends one by one. She became introvert because she had no more friends. It left her with only Jinwoon to talked to.
After 4 years, she became the best in her class. And finally got in to the Dance Division of Cheongsan School of Performing Arts. Actually she still got the problem acing the techniques, but she works even harder than ever. She accepts nothing less than the best and hate it when she loses because she always thinks she makes the most efforts.
But after everything she is Jiji when she is Jiji. She still the sweet, young Jiah when it comes to Jinwoon. She still is spoiled. And all the things happened to her only make Jinwoon more protective of her. So, there is no one that dare talking bad about her in front of Jinwoon.
Jiah also loves children. She has this sweet, mother-like side of her that will shown around children. And nowadays, she tends to hold on to what she got because she has lost everything she had for her dancing.

love interest: Do Kyungsoo
history: Kyungsoo is Jinwoon's best friend. One night, Jinwoon and Jiah had agreed to hang out together, but then Jiyeon was sick and Jinwoon couldn't make it with Jiah. So, Jinwoon asked Kyungsoo to replace him. Being the nice guy he was, Kyungsoo agreed. Kyungsoo and Jiah had never really talked before, Kyungsoo only knew that Jiah is Jinwoon's sweet twin-baby-sister and Jiah knew that Kyungsoo is Jinwoon's bestfriend. When Kyungsoo showed up, Jiah was really hurt. She wasn't crying but she acted mean towards Kyungsoo. She was cold like ice that night. And Kyungsoo was really pissed. He used to think Jiah is sweet, cute and kind like Jinwoon always said. He hates Jiah since then. Meanwhile Jiah never really hate Kyungsoo, she's just cold to everyone.
relationship: After the hangout night, Kyungsoo acted like he never knew Jiah. While Jiah thought Kyungsoo was really kind to helped her brother like that. So, unlike Jiah usually was, she smiled to him first only to saw him turned his head another direction. The first time and second time, she thought he didn't see her. The third time she tried calling him but he just walked pass her. She was hurt. Since then, both of them acted like they never knew each other.
One day, something made Kyungsoo saw Jiah differently. Then he wanted to change Jiah so that everybody could see the better side of her. Jiah was hesitant at first, she was hurt by him. But Kyungsoo stayed beside her so patiently. And Jiah finally accepted him as her close friend. The two became really close. Jiah would be mean and cold sometimes but Kyungsoo was really patient. Sometimes they bickered too, but Jiah smiled a lot more when she was with Kyungsoo. And finally Jiah fell in love with Kyungsoo.
request(s): Kyungsoo saw Jiah singing with the street performers. He saw her smiling, enjoying herself, and he thought Jiah's sweet and charming that way. That night used to be Jiah and Jinwoon's hangout night, but Jinwoon canceled it again. Kyungsoo had refused to be his substitute. Later that night, Kyungsoo was on his way to the recording room for practice when he heard someone's crying in the dance studio. He peeked into the room and saw Jiah cried the most heart-wrenching cries he ever heard. He then came in. When Jiah saw him, he snapped at him saying, "what? You're going to be Jinwoon's substitute again?"
Kyungsoo answered, "No, I rejected his request"
"Then what are you doing here?" Jiah asked, still in her cold tone.
Instead of answering her question, Kyungsoo said, "You should just smile and enjoy yourself. You were really beautiful out there."
Jiah cried even worse. She began talking about her sorrow. She opened up for a person beside Jinwoon for the first time in years. And that's what changed Kyungsoo's mind about her.
Kyungsoo then hugged her and sang for her. Kyungsoo knew this will soothe her when Jinwoon told him about his childhood and accidentally add these things to his story.

audition tape: 
reason for wanting to attend cheongsan: Jiah wants to get more recognition in the world of dance. She wants to prove her family that she can be internationally known like her family thought she would if she chose singing instead.
specialty: Her perfect ballet technique ; she aces it with lot of practices though
recommendation:
history: Jiah and Jinwoon have been trained singing since they can speak. They have known music since ever. At 9, Jiah finally had courage to ask her parents to enroll her in a ballet class. She was a student at UBA Seoul ever since.
 
story: It's a story about how Jiah is struggling to reach her dream. And it's also a story about how Kyungsoo changes Jiah. Whether she'll succeed her dream or not or whether she'll change or not. It's for authors to decide. Princess Hours' Min Hyorin and Dream High 2's Rian are my inspiration to make this character.
 
suggestions: I love twists and turns. Jiah doesn't have to get a happy ending. She might not be an international dancer, she might become an idol. She might date Kyungsoo or Kyungsoo might like someone else. She might have someone likes her in the end. It's really up to you to make it interesting. I really don't mind my character be the antagonist and doesn't get her happy ending. It's more beautiful when she does though.
And the Kim Dasom character doesn't have to be Kim Dasom. It might be someone else you think more appropriate. She doesn't have to have two-faces, she might be just the true angel. She might be one of another OCs.
