Plotline: The Independent Girl

Personality: Yang Iman, the physical embodiment of “looks can be deceiving”. Take one look at her artificially colored tresses, bright red lipstick, designer clothes and high heels. What do you see? appeal? Confidence? Maybe even maturity? If you thought anything along those lines, you weren’t looking close enough at the playful, insecure, child inside that she’s fighting so hard not to be. Despite being well on her way into adulthood as she enters her twenties,  Iman is still very much a child at heart. Anyone that has ever met her parents see clearly her father’s enthusiastic sense of humor and her mother’s quick witted sarcasm. Yang Iman is her parent’s child and still so much more.

While she can’t honestly say she’s always held such astounding confidence, it shines clearly now through her vanity. Iman is not necessarily narcissistic enough to think she posses an Aphrodite level of beauty. She is not the most dazzling girl in the world or even the group but she is much too self satisfied with the body and look she’s worked so hard to attain to let it go by unacknowledged. In a way, it’s a thinly veiled attempt to both praise herself ( even if no one else will ) and disguise the physical insecurities that have haunted her since childhood.

However when her methods fail, the least she can do is illicit a laugh, at anyone’s expense to draw away the attention. Whether it be a well thought out prank or a semi harmless tease, there is little Iman won’t do to raise the room’s mood. However it is times like these when she is most like herself, instead of the Barbie doll image that has become a steadily built barrier over the years. This is when she is at her best. The most playful, carefree version of Yang Iman that she can be. One who’s smile lights up a room, who’s dorky and obnoxious laughter is contagious, who would do anything to see a friend smile. It reminds her of the earlier, less dutiful years of childhood when her biggest worry was whether or not boys truly had cooties. Though she doesn’t seem to mind that much now. Despite the pure, innocent, untouched image that her predecessors carried Iman is a woman of experience in the ways to love.  Not so much so that anyone would consider her a pro(stitute) or anything of the like but enough so that if a handsome man were to kiss her, she wouldn’t revert into a catatonic state and mourn the loss of her first kiss.

Moreover she’s not very easily embarrassed and not in the least bit fearful of making her feelings about a person known, good or bad. She will just as easily and openly flirt with a man at a bar as she will tell the resident mean girl exactly where to shove her pom poms. It doesn’t help that the word tactful is mostly non-existent in her vocabulary. She says and does things bluntly and, unfortunately, without thought for the consequences until it’s too late. Which is why is should come as no surprise that she’s found herself practically at war for her “I-Am-Who-I-Am” approach to life. It’s not often she finds herself in such a position as she usually proceeds throughout her day without much concern over others’ opinions on her but if she feels she, or a good friend, was truly wronged or low blowed by someone, the vain but playful Iman becomes a vengeful stranger. Even if it takes her a few weeks or if she has to bring out the most deeply hidden skeletons from your closet, she will not feel satisfied until you’ve felt just as hurt as she did. An eye for an eye.

Overall, Iman might be quite the handful but she will bring the brightest of smiles to your face if only you stick around long enough.

hidden life)

Background: Iman was one of those lucky children. While she wasn’t spoiled with material goods, she was spoiled with praise and acceptance, even when it was sometimes wrongfully placed. Her mother and father almost paralleled each other in every aspect of life and parenting. With her father’s carefree, good natured attitude and her mother’s tradition and tough love but the end was result was a happy, kind hearted kid. She was a typical girl, with a typical childhood until appendicitis turned her world upside down at age nine. Fearful that something she had done behind her parents backs she hid it for as long as she could. When her weight began fluctuating and the sudden reluctance to go out and play ( due to the pain ) became noticeable,  a trip to the emergency room revealed her diagnosis. After minor reprimanding for keeping it hidden and assurance that she could be healed, Iman proceeded with surgery soon after and moved on with her life. At first, all was well but as she and her peers crept into their pubescent years and started taking notice of each other’s bodies, all hell broke loose.  She was hardly even fat but with her short and previously petite frame, she might as well have gained 100 pounds with the way her weight stuck out on her. At least, that was how she perceived it.

When she didn’t have to deal with adolescent immaturity and cruel ribbing from her peers, she was being drowned in a sea of thin waist lines among her friends. In her eyes, there was only one solution. And following 16 months and an unhealthy drop in weight, Iman found herself in the hospital once again for starvation. It took months of years of close monitoring and therapy to get Iman back to a healthy medium between overweight and deadly skinny but it was a compromise most parties involved were satisfied with. In fact, she loved her new look so much that she could barely tear herself away from mirrors until she found herself glued to computer screens as Kpop entered her life and filled her head with pipe dreams that turned  out not to be so hollow after all.

Family:
father | yang deris | 49 | affectionate, optimistic, irresponsible | iman is a typical daddy's girl, therefore her father spoils her rotten. her father is almost always the one to support her and the last to discipline.

mother | daeng seri | 46 | traditional, witty, practical | seri had a million careers and possible futures in mind for her daughter, whom she believed held so much potential but none of them included idol. seri keeps a traditional and conservative mindset and couldn't fathom iman prancing around a stage half . but when iman showed promise, intiaive, and stubbornness in her idol career, seri eventually but reluctantly gave in and let it happen. their relationship is better and more open than before but seri is still adjusting to letting iman make her own mistakes 

 

 

sidekicks)

Best Friend: 
Best Friend | Kim Myungsoo | 21 | goofy, scatterbrained, playful | Myugsoo has the image of cold, mysterious, bad boy so he likes to pretend that he's the reliable and responsible one between the two but, in reality, he's just as bad as Iman.
Friends: 
friend | Amber Liu | 20 | boyish, protective, confident | Amber is certainly Iman's knight in shining armor. Whenever another trainee had the nerve to castrate Iman for not fitting their mold of the perfect idol AMber jumped in without hesitation. She was Iman's first friend in the company. 
friend | Do Kyungsoo | 20 | witty, snarky, responsible | Iman's designated voice of reason. He's always good for a laugh but more importantly he talks Iman out of her more ridiculous schemes and when she's the most down on herself. 

 

Ex boyfriends/girlfriends/crushes: 

 

your hero)

Love Interest: The Mystery
Personality: It's hard to pinpoint just what his personality traits are. Very little is known about him and he seems not to be too concerned with any of the other members. He tends to keep to himself.
Relationship: Not friends but more than just common acquaintances.
Meet Up: They met in their early years of trainee life. He sat off to the side anytime they were given any free time so Iman assumed he either couldn't speak the language or was incredibly, painfully shy. Out of kindness, she approached him but had little success as he basically ignored her existance.
