links : ichi | ni | san | yon
 
appearance : 165 cm + 45 kg. Long black hair with a copper brown tint to it, porcelain skin and a pretty set of long legs. Her smiles develop a crinkle near her lips on the left, a crinkle not a dimple. Has mismatched eyes - her left being a double lid and right [sigh!] a monolid. Has the regular ear lobe piercings and that's all there is to it. Also she doesn't like letting her hair loose, so she always ties it up but never settles for the same plain style everyday. She tweaks it up with french braids, scarves, buns, plaits and more. A closet fashionista that hides herself in plain clothes during school and runway looks in her room.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I  WANNA GET TO KNOW  YOU.
PERSONALITY BECAUSE THIS THING CAN GET UBER LONG, YA FEEL????????

four personality traits : wary, rational, organized, reserved
personality :

Yong Soah is someone who has perfected the art of looking normal without really being quite so normal on the inside. She's someone who doesn't like to stand out from the crowd; it is as she puts it - troublesome. She'll talk, she'll smile, she'll make polite comments but she's always careful to put enough distance between herself and others in a way that they'll know her when they see her but just as easily forget her in her absence. She's not bothered by the silence and actually accepts it whole-heartedly; she'll take the loneliness and solitude over the familiar buzz of life any given day. Maybe it's because of this, she's extra sensitive to the people around her - not to their feelings though. She's always tried to blend in that half the time she kept on studying those around her, looking for any extra signs that said they were interested in her. She's not aware about it but this is why she has an observant eye for catching details that others often miss. Though she's completely clueless when it comes to herself.

Soah is not someone who likes being the mother of the group or a kind angel who's set on helping everyone she comes across, regardless of whether they want her help or not. She's not some cheesy heroine in a chick flick, no. Simply put Soah's rational. She prefers to think things through with her mind rather than follow the course of her heart. That's why no one's ever seen her lose her cool. It's also another reason why her advices are 99 percent of the time effective. Blame the remaining 1 percent on the twisted journey we call life. Yes there are moments where she wants to rip her hair apart or someone else's for that matter, times where she wants to use the most rudest of profanities that'll make an elder's heart fail, times where she has the most scathing remarks ready on the tip of her tongue that'll cut a man to half his size just with her words alone but at the last moment, she holds it in. Cause despite the heat of the moment she knows, it'll end up it nothing but fights blown out of proportions, words you don't really mean and the guilt, hate, tears and self-loathing that follows. To Soah this are all messy, something that will only disturb her peaceful world. Hence she smoothes her ruffled feathers and cocoons herself in her blanket of tranquility.

The funny thing about Soah is that although she holds herself in high regards, she becomes really modest when asked about herself. She's not being humble; she just thinks she lies somewhere around average. Maybe she would have a better opinion of herself if she listened to others but that doesn't seem to be likely since she spends most of the time hiding from them. She's cautious, to the point you can say she's in a relationship with herself. She loves herself so much that she's afraid of hurting herself. Anything a bit out of ordinary or promises to change her life a bit, she'll slap that thing away to the North Pole. A bit formal and sticking to the niceties, though that doesn't change her from being blunt but effective, she has a bit of a hard time opening up to others cause Soah feels if she were to reveal all her emotions, she'd feel raw and and vulnerable to the core without her heavily guarded armor of nonchalance. So you can't blame her for coming off as polite yet rude to the strangers.
 
persona : the all-knowing introvert

THE  L I FE OF  ME.
BACKGROUND AND JAZZ HANDS

background :
 
Born & raised in Japan, Soah knows Japan like the back of her hand but can't say the same for Korea. Her mother passed away right after child-birth leaving her alone in a two-man family, her father and herself. Soah's mother was a renowned violinist and so in order to gain some semblance with her mother Soah took up violin at the tender age of 5. Along the way she started loving the piano too, so it was added to her list of conquest when she was 8. Things however changed when her father started seeing another woman. Soah knows he has every right to move on but somehow she was still fixated on her late mother whom she never had a chance of meeting. The fact that Soah comes from a well-off family didn't help either. She couldn't help but doubt that the woman could be a gold-digger in disguise for all they knew. However she was brought up too properly by her father that she hated to ask him such. He had always been such an amazing parent that she felt he had the right to that happiness no matter how uncomfortable that made her feel. Things took a turn for worse when the woman married into her family. Her step-mother was not rude or overly friendly to the point of being suspicious but their relationship was just strained. The atmosphere between them was awkward and Soah hated to admit it but she rather wished her step-mother would leave her alone. She was 14 then when it all started. Maybe it was Japan with it's various genres of rock music or maybe it was all the pent up frustrations, the noise and worthless piece of art she often labeled with bands started to make more sense than her life ever did. Of all the places it was there was where she found her sanctuary. The fact that her father would get quite a scare if he ever found out about it could have been another factor that nudged her into this.

Now back in Korea and been there for 2 years already, Soah thinks she's let go of it. She had been young and foolish back then [cough, as if she's quite grown up now, cough] but now her priorities are her future and her studies. But then it all goes down the hill when she's tricked into joining the conspicuous Invitation.

 
friends :
jang dongwoo | 20 | student | happy-go-lucky, kind, humorous, smart | best friend, he was the first guy she befriended, more like the other way around actually, when she came to Korea. He accepted her for who she was and didn't pester her to know more. He respected her boundaries and she respected him for that. A long term accomplice in making sure Soah's remains an invisible wallflower, though he still doesn't like that idea.
 
trivia :
 

`likes,

collecting mugs - all kinds of it: big, small, cute, funky, etc

cleaning - not the bone breaking, back hurting kind, just the simple cleaning mess, putting things back into their place, it gives her a sense of peace knowing that she can put some things in order

iced lemon tea - it's an all-time favourite, don't know why

animes and mangas - she'll choose her anime hunks over real life boys any day

 

`dislikes,

social gatherings - too much crowd, too much people, and too many chances of people noticing her

high heels - hate it, period

being disturbed while working - who doesn't, you work so hard putting all your efforts in while some people think it's just so ok to keep on interrupting time and again for mundane questions

loud noises - ironic, I know

`she's actually very fluent in English, she just doesn't show it

`her favourite subject is psychology

`however she wants to be a fashion designer

`is an only child

`hobbies include cloud-watching and dipping foot in water

`loves to take quiet strolls by herself

THE  RE LATIONSH I P .
THE ONLY SHIP THAT YOU SHOULD SHIP WAT

his name : kris
four personality traits : level headed, presumptuous, insufferable, suave
what is he to o? : manager
 
relationshi(t)p : Yes, they did throw biting remarks at one another when they first met. Still do now and then. But their relationship has actually matured. Compared to others, theirs are actually relatively civil. Due to his presumptuous nature, he can't help but label people. And if there's anything Soah hates more than having to wake up at 11pm at night being told they have a mid-night gig out of nowhere, its tags. Yes Soah'll be honest. She is prejudiced against some people but at least she has the courtesy to not make it blatantly obvious unlike a certain someone. And truth be told Kris actually finds it amusing when someone won't just cower under his fierce gaze or stare unabashedly at his handsome face. Conceited enough? He doesn't know when their pointless arguments turned into playful banters or when he actually started teasing Soah just to see her rile up easily or when he'd leave flavoured milk or bread by her table without even knowing what he did. Yeah, its painfully obvious to others though.
 
how you met : Soah was joining her band for a gig in a building once when she got confused with the directions as to which room her band was in. Luckily she was saved from such trouble when she met Kris and asked for directions. He only gave a questioning look at that to which Soah introduced herself as the 'electric guitarist' of the Invitation rather reluctantly. He only raised a thick eyebrow at that and gave her a rather demeaning once over before telling her the directions in a rather heavy accent. Despite the rather rude ways, he was gone before she could give him a polite thank you. She could only mutter 'insufferable prick' under her breath.
 
persona : the benign angry bird
 

SO YOU WANNA BE ONE OF US?
A QUESTIONAIRE - ANSWER IN FIRST POV, THANKS.

how are you today? :  Fine thanks. Could have been better.
 
why did you join the invitation? :
Oh I think you should congratulate your leader, Jung Hyeryong for this particular accomplishment of hers using a rather unusual but certainly not unheard of ways. How should I say it, the situation she landed me in was so fascinating that I could only say 'Yes.' If you still haven't caught onto it, then I certainly do not think that literature is you forte. She caught me in an uncomfortable situation and forced her way in threatening me into joining the band or as she put it 'the consequences would be heavy'. /gives the stink eye

Besides that, I guess I'll admit that maybe being in a band won't be so bad. Despite not liking the circumstances I was brought in, I won't deny I like playing the guitar. It's fun. It's me. And I guess, it doesn't hurt to experiment around a bit, play with music and create fond memories. I think everyone wants to look back at their school life with a fondness than just remember who slept with who, or who slapped who.

 
what instrument do you want to play? or perhaps, manager? : the electric guitar
 
what was your audition for the invitation like? :

Hyeryong already had me cornered, so I guess there was nothing I could do. She'd seen me playing the guitar once but still for the satisfaction of the other girls, she wanted me to take an audition so it'd be fair game to others too. To be pretty honest I was going to mess up on purpose maybe just to irk Hyeryong more and lose my chance but then at the last minute my fingers just started moving on their own. I actually remember performing Taylor Swift's I knew you were Trouble. /chuckles Now that I think about it, maybe in the back of my mind I had really wanted to join the Invitation. I only remember giving it my all. Sorry to disappoint but I'm the type that does not get nervous during the performance, it's actually after it. /laughs After that, I was left with awkward silence, I think, haha.

who are you closest in the band? :

The pianist - Moon Younha. Hmm, now that I think about it maybe is it because we have a lot of things in common? Violin, piano and books. I don't know about the rest though. Besides I find it funny how one minute she's all so impregnable and has holier than thou attitude and then the Chinese exchange student just has to look her way and she's a gooey poodle of mush. /laughs It's really funny. I about it every time it happens. Ah, also the manager unnie. I think I just like her. Her competitive nature is a stark contrast to my laidback one, opposites attract. /shrugs while smiling She also tells me really funny stories about this stupid brother of hers, unnie is a really fun person to be around with. Though sometimes I worry for her. What with the way she looks at the drummer of 'O' I can say unnie likes him a lot. And that's what worries me. His intentions seems a bit dark to me.

 
who are you the least closest to? :

The rhythm guitarist. We're not that far in age but still I just don't understand how her brain works. She's childish and naive, something I had stopped being a long time ago. I understand that she's sheltered and the maknae of the group and whatnot but it can't be that hard to try and be understanding of others once in a while. Also the fact that she has an obvious crush on the bassist of 'O' does not help me calm down a bit. Everyone knows of his image, even she does, so I still can't understand why she'd throw away her pride like that and chase him like a love-sick puppy. Youngsters nowadays. /sighs

ALLOTHER THINGS .
QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, CONCERNS.

 
 
SCENE REQUESTS -

 

`when Soah first hears the name of the rivaling band she goes like, 'Pardon? Come again, I thought I heard o.' cause seriously I still can't hold it in.

`an incident where she punches the drummer of O for his less than honorable intentions to the manager unnie

`when Younha first introduces her to Luhan, Soah only blinks and tells him, 'You're pretty.' to which Luhan flushes up and says, 'I'd prefer manly though' to which Soah blinks again and says 'Ah yes, very very cough manly' and excuses herself abruptly and before she can even round the corner both Luhan and Younha can hear her badly suppressed cackling laughing. If possible Luhan only flushes more and all Younha can think of is Soah's imminent death.

`a scene where she rebukes the rhythm guitarist for her actions to which she can only reply with her naive answers and before they know it, Soah has lost it all and is ruthlessly throwing sharp gibes at her. the members can only look, all too afraid to step in. later on when Soah encounters her, she tells her that it just makes her angry that she doesn't pride herself her in who she is but would rather change herself for someone who doesn't even take her seriously. the maknae is then all teary-eyed and goes like 'unnie!' about to hug Soah and Soah's like 'Oh lord no, distance, distance!'

COMMENTS -

`I hope you liked it. I'm sorry if my answers look a bit cranky during the audition cause I wanted her to appear a bit pissed as you've already mentioned in the 'meet & greet' some were tricked into becoming one of the members and I kinda went for that route. Please don't kill me! T__T and I'm sorry if the scene requests were lame and really sorry if some of the song suggestions look too Disney-ish for you....
