I KNEW YOU WERE TROUBLE
NAME : moon, chanyeon
NICKNAMES :
ellie : this is the name on her name card. during her interview she revealed that her favorite animal were elephants. chanyeol thought this was strange since not many people would claim elephants as their favorite/spirit animals, thus a glorious nickname was created. also since they shared a similar name (chanyeon and chanyeol, coincidence? i think not!) this was a good way to avoid miscommunication.

BIRTHDATE : 12/14/1992 ;; (turning) 22
HOMETOWN : ulsan, south korea
ETHNICITY: korean
LANGUAGES:
korean : native // she's korean
english : nearly fluent // she is majoring in communications and has basically worked her way up to try to perfect the language. so far she's almost got it down but the korean tongue naturally has a disadvantage with the "r"s and the "l"s however compared to others, she's great but not exactly phenomenal.

EDUCATION: currently attaining bachelor's degree in communications
position: host
 
I CAME IN LIKE A WRECKING BALL
speak now : "wanna see something cool?"

personality traits : well-rounded, charming, entertaining, phony, excessively loud, vain, +intimidating, complains often, dramatic

personality :
     chanyeon––ellie, as they call her––is outgoing and the straight-shooting type. enthusiastic and excitable, she's a "doer" who lives in the world of action. blunt and straight-forward risk-taker, she is willing to plunge right into things and get her hands dirty. chanyeon lives in the here-and-now and places little importance on interjection. she has an uncanny ability to perceive people's attitudes and motivations and picks up on little things, which go completely unnoticed by most such as facial expressions and stance–hence why she's so great at what she does. typically a couple steps ahead of the person's she's interacting with, chanyeon uses this ability to get what she wants out of any situation– "here, sit, lemme have minseok brew you up a nice, warm, macchiato." she has a strong flair and connection with people. she knows her to use her words to persuade people whether it is using ethos, pathos, or logos. this woman is subliminally convincing you to buy something while making you feel welcome. charming, and seriously with a face as gorgeous as hers you can't help but want to get to know her more. she's genuine, but such a slick underneath. chanyeon is excellent at telling stories and improvising, typically making things up as she goes.
     because she is constantly interacting with people and has to project herself positively, chanyeon may come off as fake, especially that forced, dry, exaggerated laugh she deals with after hours of communicating with costumers; especially those who do not like her or find her presence bothersome. she loves what she does, i mean let's face it she's going to have to be doing more of this in the future, but it gets dull at times. having to pretend like you care about how one's day was and blah blah blah yada yada yada. during long days, chanyeon becomes impatient and although she wouldn't show it to the customers, she may come off rude to her fellow employees. after which she apologizes of course, but at those times she will come off as a straight up . "you're not the one hussling customers so shush." moreover because she is a naturally friendly and loud person, she may come off as annoying and an excessive chatterbox. sometimes the workers get tired of hearing her laughter that can be heard from the kitchen. but she can't help that her voice is much more durable than most. because she brings in most of the customers wanting to come back, along with baekhyun and chanyeol, her pride and ego will occasionally fluff and raise to the surface. "did you see them out there? goodness, they love me. they really love me." =_= is she a narcissist? pft. aren't we all?
      + chanyeon doesn't smile often when she's alone and because of that she may seem intimidating. her first impressions are always too strong so she may come off as vehement or defensive, in many cases. she has a warm smile, but unless she's working, it won't be on display often. it doesn't help that she is a fast talker. her sporadic face mixed with her face-paced talking only make approaching her scarier. but no fear, she's not that scary.
      
+to add onto that, chanyeon is always complaining about something. whether it's the weather, how her belt is rubbing against her skin, or how she can't keep her eyes off the hand print on the window, there's always something bugging, irritating, or bothering her to catch her undivided attention.
      
+with her, everything seems to be breaking news. she's dramatic and exaggerative. when she discovers something new, she must announce it with wide eyes and an impressed voice. if an event or conflict happens to her, whoever she's speaking with MUST understand how she felt via her dramatic interpretation of the situation.  remember, moon chanyeon makes things up as she goes. as she improvs her stories, she tends to act them out and use lots of hand gestures. most of the time it is for entertainment purposes but really it's just the way she talks.

trivia :
+ magic tricks // thanks to her uncle, chanyeon knows magic trick. ranging from your classic card tricks to making things appear and reappear in places unknown, if she wasn't pursuing her professional life she would make one great street magician. perhaps one of the things that keeps customers interest.
+ allergic to ginger // yixing found this out the hard way. being the caring person he was, he made her ginger tea to help her sinus. she nearly died got a terrible reaction to it but assured him that she was still alive.
+ president of the debate team // in high school she was the president of the debate team. so if a customer were to be extra snappy and rude, chanyeon would be able to take great care of the situation without being foul. often engaging in deep discussions with others and can make a small conversation into a philosophical debate. she is currently the co-coach for the high school she went to in ulsan via high speed rail every two weeks.
+ hates rejection // it's funny how such a bold girl could be so sensitive to a thing as small as rejection. she hates everything about it and honestly doesn't know how to take in or accept rejection.
+ "why do you live like this. don't live like this." // a saying she says often when someone does something stupid. kind of like a phrase being said whilst doing a head shake
+ has a habit of running her hand through her hair // whether it's talking with someone or walking, she's always ruffling her hair
+ acute hearing // okay maybe not on a superman level but she hears e v e r y t h i n g ! talk get hit  she isn't oblivious to smack talking and is awesome at eavesdropping
I GOT ONE LESS PROBLEM W/O YOU
love interest : park chanyeol
back-up LOVE INTEREST(s) : kim jongdae // zhang yixing
personality traits : bright, contagious, slowly maturing, diarrhea mouth, awkward with emotions, reluctant
personality:
      he's a bright and positive guy, BUT he can be really stupid. he has no clue with everything he does, but he's just unsure. he can be masculine and charming but sometimes he's so dorky and shameless and has that stupid grin on his face all the time that chanyeon can't help but smile with. whenever chanyeol smiles, those that he captures, will smile too. he just has that type of ability. always considering himself before others, chanyeol tries to break out of his idiotic ways to rebuild a new image of a fun AND responsible guy. now that he's the breadwinner of the cafe, and yura can't take it over due to her own career, he's learning how to be more independent and reliant on himself; which is scary because he's never needed to before.
     he really says the wrong at the wrong time. a mannerism that she has respectively named "diarrhea mouth". sometimes he will speak without even thinking, a huge flaw of his. but he does have some sense of control, he's not mentally impaired you know although he may seem like it at times. funny how such a talkative and friendly person would have such complication truly express himse; meaning his more affection emotions whether it is sadness, love, or anger. since he's not used to being an owner and running the cafe, he hasn't quite learned to order and demand things. often times, others chanyeon would speak up for him.

love story:
     *chanyeol is an awkward kid and chanyeon is, honestly, an infomercial. when both collide, there is a very strong sense of instability and mania. chanyeol provides the loud laughter and chanyeon provides the dramatic exaggeration. chanyeon has a hard time trying to identify if someone likes her. she's equally friendly and energetic with people so sometimes she can send these mixed signals to people without knowing.
     chanyeon is a very interesting person. there's always something awesome going on with her. whenever he's working, he can't help but want to also tune in with her. she's really distracting. she has an upbeat laugh and he's the scientist that is constantly trying to find out the source that caused her laugh to erupt. they have a lot in common: they're funny, outgoing, people persons, and are attractive. that's the perfect chemical formula for a perfect marriage couple. sadly for chanyeol, he lives in a "SENPAI NOTICE ME!" world. he knows how chanyeol strictly keeps work and business from clashing BUT HE WANTS TO BE THE CONFOUNDING VARIABLE THAT S UP.

ending: i like surprises so.... ??????

scene suggestions : 
+ they go to a work retreat to jeju or somewhere awesome where trust games are played and a lot of fun/comical/cheesy things happen with everyone.
+ chanyeol asks if he can go with her to yeonhwa academy just so he could see on her debate coach mode...which is quite aggressive and fiesty.
+ within the workers, there is a huge argument. the argument...i haven't figured it out yet imsorry
I'M SO FANCY, YOU ALREADY KNOW
faceclaim : yu rim

backup faceclaim : la la

FIRST IMPRESSION : chanyeon has eyes that just gush out "hello, im going to be the sunshine that attempts to brighten up your day. c'mon, talk to me." and a smile that only pushes that ideal. standing at 165 cm, chanyeon is lean, not mean, and the perfect someone to share a conversation with. even with her hair in a low ponytail (don't want hair in the pastries of drinks now) she still looks really elegant and chic. not too skinny for her height but not carrying too much goodies, chanyeon could totally go for some implants but we'll save that for america.

style : chanyeon's style is chic, classy, yet comfortable. modern and fashionable, but not too over the top professional, chanyeon looks like she just stepped out of the h&m poster. chanyeon's outfits usually consists of light hues and pastel colors. although she is a college student swimming in tuition debt, she can't help but let her materialistic wants get the best of her. high end cosmetic brands like sephora, ysl, dior, and chanel are her guilty pleasures.

STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM
background :

     chanyeon was raised by her aunt and uncle. why? eh, some questions in life are better not being answered. treating her like their own daughter, chanyeon always saw them like her parents.
     + her aunt kwonmi was very strict and intimidating. very protective of her niece, kwonmi didn't want chanyeon to end up pregnant or a drug addict. up-tight and hard to negotiate with, her aunt gave her the great debate skills she acquires today. growing up, she absorbed most of his traits: gregarious, funny, and even magic tricks chanyeon loves her uncle jung.
     anyway, she moved out of ulsan and into the big city once she was accepted to seoul community college at age 18. living there for now four years, she's gain jobs from left to right but they were always seasonal so they weren't really stable. now that it's her last year, she really wants a job that will look best on her resume, and what will look better than the trendy dolce cafe?


friends 
          

 
kim jongdae | jongdae is an idiot her classmate of many ing years. both are like best friends without the whole gushy title. like many people, she was fooled to believe that jongdae was an introverted turd that spoke only on holidays, but he's a monster. jkay jongdae's amazing. he's the whole reason she even figured out about the cafe and kinda bragged to dumbyeol about how fantabulous chanyeon is with people. often mistaken for friends with benefits, they room together but have never thought of exceeding the friendship lines. | besties4life

park chanyeol | after her interview, chanyeon became someone that chanyeol just naturally had a connection with. she fascinated him and he was a cool guy. he was weird and a bit too loud, but hey moon chanyeon ain't ever mad. chanyeon never clashes work with her personal life so she avoids anything past the lines of work buddies. plus it's always important to make friends wherever you are. | awesome work buddies

LIFESTYLE : she lives with jongdae in a apartment near the college, which is quite the drive from the cafe considering it's a little outside of seoul. been roomates for three years, they know of each other's sleeping arrangements and habits and whatnot. it's not weird to see each other in their undergarments. they are literally like brothers and sisters: the bickering, the arguing, and the affectionate care that they have for each other. currently, she is the co-coach for yeonhwa academy every other week (so every two weeks? i'm not sure what to describe it) via high speed rail; so she sees her aunt and uncle often.
