PERSONALITY:

When people first see her; "Seraphim's Jiliann is so rude." "Where are her manners?" Known for her -face and blunt honesty, she has garnered herself quite the character.

The key to her personality is that she is a free spirited. Conformation is her curse. Rules and regulations are made for other people. Restrictions will blow out the creative spark that is ready to flame into life. She must be free and uninhibited. She is a beautiful girl, colorful and flamboyant. An extroverted bundle of energy, gifted and utterly irrepressible, everything she does is on a grand scale, big ideas, ornate gestures, extreme ambitions. However, this behavior is natural and isn't meant for show. Because she is confident, fearless in the face of challenge, she is almost inevitably successful. She usually makes it to the top. However, she should  be aware of her nature. Too much enthusiasm can leave her tired and unfulfilled. Even though she is willing to aid when necessary, her pride can often impede her from accepting the same kind of help from others.

Her generous personalities give her the ability to attract friends, but she can be rather solitary person at heart. Her self sufficiency can mean that she has no need for close bonds with other people. She takes thrilling risks and burns the candle at both ends so she is fortunate to be blessed with good health. Not the most domesticated, she is more content out and about rather than at home. Her originality is the most impressive and outstanding of all her characteristics. She is quite imaginative and always able to see new paths where others may run into brick walls. She is very adaptable and are fit for various occupations, especially if those occupations allow her to take the limelight. In any of these occupational situations, she will take a radical approach. She works hard, but would rather gives orders than receive them.

She is attracted by the bizarre. No self-respecting her desires to walk in a tourist's footsteps. Instead, she takes a lot of gratification in finding hidden destinations, or, closer to home, locations off the beaten track. She is a popular person, but because of her personalities, she seems to gather as much criticism as she does esteem. Due to her tumultuous temperaments, she is not the most sensitive friend to those in need of a shoulder to cry on. But she is also sentimental at heart. Those who truly know her knows she is a loving soul who will become your best ally in times of need. Once the dynamic her has given her friendship, she will not let her friends down and will never falter in her allegiance to her companions. To her, a friend is a friend for a lifetime. Incredibly honest, She is known for sincerity and is a trusting soul. Because of this honesty, she doesn't realize others may not demonstrate or uphold the same codes of ethics. Making the discovery that she placed her trust in someone who is dishonest makes her quite sad, yet much more perceptive for future encounters.

Negatively; she is egotistical and love to be the center of attention. Modesty is not one of her assets. Add to that the her temper and she has a bossy, dominating and authoritative being. She hates solicited advice and can be hopelessly tactless and insensitive to her lovers. People loves her so much because she generous, charismatic, irresistible, and so brave that standing beside her banishes fear. She generates excitement and turn heads anywhere she goes. She is free-spirited and impulsive and can help others achieve their dreams. Others love to be around her because she has a way of making people feel better. She is quick to fall in love, but does not surrender her independence easily leaving her to live life by herself. But once she becomes committed, she is unlikely to ever leave. It takes someone with thick skin who is easygoing to be her partner, because, despite her sentimental characters, she can be moody, and insensitive. Many people will want to run when her temper is provoked.

Onstage; Regarding her stage personality, she has this special love for limelight, and the desire to be admired and loved is very dominant in her character. She is good in being y, though a bit slack in aegyo. She will move in all directions to reach her destination, and this makes things possible for her that no other person around her can manage to pull off. This also increases her money making opportunities, and she might well make her way into large money-making project in the future. But she has an innate feeling of insecurity and timidity. She don't like to talk about her weakness or show anything bad about herself when the tape still rolling. Infront of the fans, she will usually gives loads of fanservices such as flying kisses and winks. In variety shows, she will be the her offstage truthfully. Around her members, she won't start any kind of skinship but she will just go along if her members backhug and leans on her shoulder. Around seniors, she mixes well and show no sign of awkwardness..this may seems like a good thing but it isn't as some of the seniors find her as no respect and full of herself. Around guys, she actually click with guys better than with girls at the first meeting. Different in expressing herself, different in terms of what she feels is rude or not. She has displayed her blunt honesty multiple times on television, and her curt responses usually instigate a variety of responses for example. In any case though, whether its her “princess disease” image or not, she has created a strong character for herself.

BACKGROUND:

She was born on April 11, 1993 in California, United States. She is the only child in her family. Her family moved a lot, this is because of her father's job, a former soldier in the U.S. Armed Forces in Korea. But whenever people ask where did she grown up, she will say Japan is her hometown, since she was raised there the longest. She is a half Korean, through her mother's side and through her father, she is of Puerto Rican- Korean descent. That's explain why her look is more to Korean. She is really close with both of her parent. Growing up, sometimes she do feel like a freak, because she is a mixed unlike almost all the other kids around her  but her parent taught her to ignore others' look and focus on herself. The family moved to Japan when she was six months old, then moving back to Korea when she was 6 years old.

She got scouted by an acting agency, Omnibus at a young age. Originally, she debuted in the media industry at the age of 8 as an English tutor on children TV shows, in channels Arirang TV and KBS. She stopped her carreer in Korea for prior to her moving to Japan. That was after 3 years in Korea, and all of that time her family stayed in army units. She often went to the Kyoto Music Centre with her school friends after school. It is a place where teenage bands and even dancing groups do performances. It is a small stage for the youngsters who inspired to be idols in Kyoto, a place where they will hang out and perform. She was inspired to be a performer too, a singer. Watching people dancing and singing, she always admiring a good performer and thinks those people are cool. They went back to Seoul after her father retired when she was 15. Shortly after her comeback to Korea, at the age of 16, she was contact by her old acting agency and joined them again. She officially entered the entertainment industry again in 2008 by acting in minor roles in dramas. She then starred in the Omnibus film "Romantic Heaven" as the supporting role but her big break did not come yet. She was in the 2011 Korean TV drama series "High Kick: Revenge of the Short Legged", in which she played Chae Jiyeon. She auditioned for CUBE latter in 2011 and got accepted. In 2012, she was in BEAST's "I Knew It" as the lead female.

She was one of the most popular trainee I must add. Ilhoon and Sohyun, both are friends and mentors of her that always give advices to her. When she auditioned and got accepted by CUBE, her family and best friend supported her. She had taken hiatus from her acting activities during trainee years. She stopped acting for those time being. During trainee years she received further training in dancing, singing, rapping and the Korean language. She couldn't converse with all the new people she met well, due to not being able to speak the language as fluently, and she didn't know what to eat, the dorminotary food is more like a goat's food. There was not much foreign trainees there and foreigners usually got bullied including her, but nothing really major happened except for the numerous haters she gained during training. She's pretty but her personality is sometimes unlikable. Since she's  a bit of strong character, many trainees thought of her as y.  Trainee years was also hard for her because she got to live her life everyday with the same boring shcedule with sweat and blood.

She was not good in rapping and singing as she thought, especially bad in Korean and was given extra classes for that. Just going to be totally honest here her voice isn't very attractive. Neither anyone has a thing for nasally high voices. Her range is limited to easy notes, she can't hit high octaves decently. Her vocalization can sound really awkward sometimes and the breathtaking effect that should be left is disturbed. She wanted to give up several times. She cried everyday for the first two weeks she was in training, but decided to work hard even though she wanted to go back home, to show to her family that she isn't that spoiled, she isn't a pretty face with zero talent. The one thing that CUBE do notice though is her emotion when dancing. Year by year she had improved her singing skills too. She came in 2nd place at the 6th CUBE Best Dancer Contest.

FACECLAIM: Jiyeon of T-ARA
BACKUP FACECLAIM: Qri of T-ARA
EXTRAS: Just like the face claim, she is usually regarded as one of the prettiest members, and people do agree- yes, she is stunning, but alas, much of this beauty is refrained to first impression. When you first look at her, she does indeed look gorgeous, with her stoic gaze and doll-like features. But while “doll-like” features look cute on dolls and other inanimate objects, they look misproportioned on humans, as best seen on her. Her lips and teeth are so incredibly small, and her tiny jaw only makes smaller, she also has an abnormally small nose as well. Especially when you compare these features to her eyes, which look large in comparison. She has a wavy black hair until waist, ear piercings on each ears and a tattoo of her own birthday on her right wrist, 062390. She has this special necklace that she will wear wherever she go and whenever it is. A black pearl pedant necklace that her parent gave her before she before started training in SM. She wears spectacles but only at home, she wears lens outside.

LOVE INTEREST: Son Dongwoon
BACKUP LOVE INTEREST: Kim Jongin [Kai]
 
PERSONALITY: Dongwoon seems fierce and like a playboy but really he’s just shy and also he so fragile. He gives it his all and does what he loves. Dongwoon is really just a cute little boy behind all that shirtless photo shoots and fierce y facials he has. Knowing him, at times he can be an innocent boy but then within he is yet devious. He can be exteremely kind yet when starts making close friends. When it comes to enimies he transforms into a different person..Once that side of him opens up..let just say.. he can be ”Evil Dongwoon?” He’s yet trustworthy when it comes to keeping a secret not leaving his friends behind. Dongwoon mostly acts like a child younger then he usually his which people to find quite adorable. Theres not that much about ”Evil Dongwoon” side because he only uses that personality for enimies or either self defense. He tends to hide his weaknesses. Not good  communicating with people because he is lack of words to express his thought and feeling to them. He doesn’t have much experince of making friends because he rarely seem to have any but once he make one, it will last. Is also simply too gullible to fall for anything. Dongwoon may look just a child but don’t suspect that he’s weak. He is quite of a fast thinker when it comes to getting out from an unpleasant situation. He has quite the specialty in self defense so think before you do to mess with him.
 
1ST INTERACTION: They met by three fateful meeting. Firstly, they met at a shopping complex, a music equipment shop to be more exactly, in 2009. Jiliann was looking for a guitar as a gift for one her friend. Dongwoon and his trainee friends was there too, he was accompanying his friend to buy a bass. He was walking when he saw a girl at the guitar department through the glass wall, he ws mesmerized by the pretty face so walks in and went to her little by little. Jiliann was trying to take a guitar that was hanging on the wall when she stumbled backward, as the guitar was quite heavy for her. Dongwoon who were close to her quickly held the guitar before it hit the pretty face of her. She was shock but quickly thanking him for his quick reaction, she also thought he is the person who work there so she asked if he knows which guitar will suit her friend the best. But soon a friend of Dongwoon came and pulled him to somewhere. As the scene past so quickly, Jiliann just shrugs it off. Secondly, on the same day  Jiliann was crossing the road, running, because she was late for her practice. She was so into searching the perfect guitar that she forgot about the time. She tripped at the sidewalk when the same guy she met at the shop held her shoulder so that she won't stumbled forward. Yeah, it's him..Dongwoon! This time it's Jiliann who excused herself quickly after thanking him for the second time that day. The last meeting is at CUBE building, in 2011, 2 years after their first meeting. It was late and Jiliann is in her way back to home when she heard a music in one of the dance room. She followed the music and found a guy dancing hotly to it. She was mesmerized by it and she just realized that it's her sunbae, Dongwoon of Beast. After the music stop and the guy stop dancing to it, Jiliann fake a cough and this caught Dongwoon offguard, literally jumping a little before looking at Jiliann.
 
HOW HE TREATS YOU: From the surface, Jiliann isn’t shy of expressing her affection over Dongwoon. As for Dongwoon, he is always ready to help her. Dongwoon also likes to whenever he has the chance, including during onstage/onscreen. Sometimes, she denies the caring gestures, but she really does like them judging by the way she attaches herself to the maknae. Dongwoon even does the old school trick of distraction then putting the arm around the other’s shoulder. Very smooth and open minded, it is something that isn't what he usually does, to girls. They are often seen together on official events, or just about everywhere, much to their satisfaction. --- In the inside, Jiliann cares and adores him like he is her brother. Dongwoon on the other hand obviously cares A LOT about her, more than a brother should about his sister. He’s not like her in the sense that she loves hanging around and being with her brother. He’s more of the “he’s my girl, back off” type. He admires her, to the point where is scares Jiliann off to some extent. It’s somewhat obvious in the way Dongwoon sometimes acts around her when together. Dongwoon will always find, or try to find his way to Jiliann, whereas she is seen hanging out with everyone else but Dongwoon. It’s almost like Dongwoon is secretly saying, “Jiyeon love me, and only me”. Jiliann thought maybe Dongwoon just wants a little bit more of her love and attention. Jiliann obviously cares for Dongwoon, but maybe not as extreme as Dongwoon for Jiliann. And at one point she realized she feel weird without Dongwoon around, caring for her and no one will ever gives her full attention and affection like him, that oppa who didn't shy to start making the first move.
 
 
 
 
LOVE RIVAL: Park Sanghyun [Thunder]
BACKUP LOVE RIVAL: Lee Hongbin
 
PERSONALITY: His actions being aloof and his actions seem always at ease. It seems that anything you throw on him will look good on him. The only greed he has which causes him to splurge his own money for is music. Thunder seems nonchalant on the outside but once you get to know him, he has a lot of thoughts and affection. He owns a sensitive personality. Thunder even showed tears in not being able to hold back his emotions. With Thunder’s honest side of being true to his emotions, you get the slight feel that he is weak. Raising dreams of becoming a singer since he was younger, he was finally able to achieve that dream after looking solely in one direction like a single-minded person. With the passion of an innocent state-of-mind, he is someone who is loyal.
 
1ST INTERACTION: They first met at hospital. At that time Jiliann hurt her ankle and Thunder hurt his back. They were sent to the same hospital and both need to stay there for the whole night. Jiliann was a trainee while Thunder already debuted. Jiliann take a walk at the hospital's garden at the night and she met Thunder who was enjoying the garden scene too. Jiliann isn't that familiar to MBLAQ thus she actually has no idea that she was  walking toward the group's visual. Jiliann kept on looking at Thunder's face, something about his features attracted her, just like someone she know or ever seen. Thunder on the other felt the girl's stare and is getting uncomfartable, I swear he already got a hole on his face due to that intense stare. Thunder thought Jiliann wanted his autograph and that she is his fan. So he said hello to the girl and said sorry but he has no pen or paper with him right now. But as soon as he talked, Jiliann ask him blurry if he know her or have they met somewhere. Dumbfounded, Thunder ended up introducing himself to her.
 
HOW HE TREATS YOU: This gentle nature guy is quickly replaced by a serious possessiveness when it comes to his Jiliann. He also has a rather peculiar affliction of caressing Jiliann’s cheeks and arms. His touchiness with her is a great example of his love for affection. His childish antics that include begging her to shop with him make him appear beyond adorable. His immaturity results in feeling of Jiliann, she doesn't really takes him seriously, however, he has proven to be quite a romantic. This romantic side of his can usually be seen in his natural charms and obsession with romantic Hollywood movies, He once brought her to a yacht trip and did the scene in Titanic with her.
 
 
 
 
RIVAL: Sandara Park [Dara]
BACKUP RIVAL: Gong Minji [Minzy]
 
PERSONALITY: She isn’t very talkative and will be very distant towards strangers or aquaintances, some people think she’s rude. She often talks to herself or voices her thoughts aloud and she prefers to be alone instead of with people because of that. Her closest friends are able to see the real her, who is bubbly, talkative, and depressive…all at once… Yes, indeed, Dara is a very strange person. But she likes it that way. She is extremely agile, flexible and sneaky, therefore she can flee or hide from not-so-good situations, as well as trick people. She is very caring and giving, but only to those who need her help.
 
WHY RIVALS?: Jiliann is at MBC waiting room during a day where the group will having their MNET live stage, when she saw a purse right beside the door of the room. The purse belong to Dara of 2NE1, for some reason, she is there when there's no in 2NE1 schedule that need her to be there. Jiliann opens the purse so see who's the owner and right on time Dara came into the scene. She sees Jiliann who is standing beside the door opening her purse and she actually think Jiliann is a sasaeng or a thief, because she never really saw her before. Not believing whatever Jiliann said, she firmly want to call the guard. --- First impression is important for Dara. And sometimes there's no reason to love or hate someone. Dara feels uneasy around Jiliann and so does she.
 
ON&OFF STAGE TREATMENT: For Dara, first impression last. Dara can’t trust Jiliann, she can't think of her as a friend or acquintance under the same field. She keeps a mask of happiness to hide her uneasiness when with Jiliann infront of others, but it just brings her down even more. Jiliann really mind it, since she can't never tolerate with something as she seen as poking her pride off. She begin to hate Dara for everything, even when the girl smile. She always want to surpass Dara in all.
