FACE CLAIM — 
Park Hye Min

APPEARANCE — She is 165cm tall and weighs 50kg. Is very flexible.

STYLE — She likes clothing that fits well and looks neat. Jeans and a nice sweater are definitely her favourites in winter, but in summer she prefers nice shirts, tops and shorts, or summer dresses. Smart casual, but doesn't really care what she wears as long as it looks good and is appropriate in public. But always wears sweats when dancing and sneakers. No tattoos.
 

PERSONALITY —

Aeri is confident talking on stage, meeting new people, or just in general; she has massive self-confidence, but isn't quite self-centred and still can be sort of awkward at times.
"I like meeting people, it expands ones horizons. But its also taught me how to figure out who is a genuine and who is fake."
She likes to look on the bright side of anything and tends to be very happy with a bright aura or presence that makes people smile a lot when they see her.
"Being positive is something thats kept me from drowning in all the disappointment and hatred that lies in the world."
She loves to dance, play sports and work out, if she isn't sleeping or busy doing something else; meaning she really fit, but not overly so that its super obvious.
"I am a woman. I am feminine. But I am as strong as a man, I can do anything if I set my mind to it. I will not let others, their words or actions, drag me down with them."
She hates sugar coating things, and she most definitely hates not being told somethng straight forward, but is pretty patient and will wait for others to say what they need to, and will always give them time. Very calm and level headed about everything, but doesn't interfer unless she has to with others business, even if she worries.
"You know sometimes I do wish that I was poetic and subtle. But I am not. I am honest, I will tell you everything that I think. I don't mean to be rude, nor offensive. I don't want to be mean. But why be subtle, it could be taken other ways than what is purposed, when being honest they know what is actually going on. They say being hit by a blunt instrument you often suffer less harm than being harmed by a poison that slowly spreads, and then kills."
"I don't what to get into it. Their business is theirs. I know it seems indifferent and cold, but I am worrying for them and I know they are old enough to look after themsleves. I believe in them."
She likes to perfect anything relating to her work, or hobbies. Many close friends or family members say its the worst trait to have being a workaholic as she spends hours trying to perfect a dance routine, the thank you speech, or anything that relates to being an idol. Its all taken very seriously in her eyes.
"I'm obsessive. I will admit it. But I know that the only way to become good at things is to start by improving the small things, focus on the details. Everything comes naturally after that. That way of mind, that is what set people apart. Its what make someone great into someone amazing."
"It isn't something to take lightly. Why spend years waiting for your chance, but only to then give little effort. You have to work even harder. Dedicate even more, and only then will you be remembered."
She likes to work, which in this case is dance and rap, and puts a massive amount of effort into anything relating to it, right down to trying to connect to fans and staying fresh and awake as she was meeting the first of her fans."They [fans] made this happen. Why the hell wouldn't I appreciate them?"

 

PAST — Moved around a lot between China, Japan and South Korea as a child, her father being a well-known physics professor, meaning he was demanded to teach at multiple elite universities across Asia. She doesn't have any siblings, nor does she have any cousins, but it meant she had to make friends to make up for not having any family members around her age. She always had a passion for dance and the arts, and was encouraged to persue them by her parents; taking ballet, jazz, hip hop and contempory dance classes wherever she lived.
"I spent my beginning not having a real home. Not having a lot of people close to me, I've had a petrifying fear that one day I would leave them, or they would leave me. It stops me from trying to hard to become close to people."
"My passions are my friends. thats something that will never leave me. They are skills hardwired into my brain. I will never not have them."

PRESENT — She currently lives in Seoul in the dorm given to them by SM, however often goes to visit her parents whom now permentally reside in Incheon, even staying with them for weekends, particularly to visit her two pet dogs Leo and Ryu. She gets up early most mornings when she doesn't have a schedule to go to practise dance routines at the SM practise rooms, and only after perfecting it she'll come home, eat, relax and take multiple naps. When she has a schedule she likes to practise rapping to the music in the cars between venues or events, and do little dances mimicking routines to warm up.
"They [Leo and Ryu] are like my children. But also my friends."
"Sleeping was always the best form of meditation. Thats why I like it so much.
"I can't sleep in. The mornings are cool, they are the best time to fit in things that make you sweat. The afternoon is better to sleep, the heat is better missed."

TRIVIA —
- Is extremely hyper when around friends relaxing, however her personality flips when she practises, like shes super serious and focused. And definitely doesn't like destractions. "I've trained my whole life to not let distractions be distractions. Its still the hardest thing I have to face."
- Has a soft spot for the other members and aegyo. "They become like a family. Usually disfunctional. But family."

- Looks up to TVXQ's Yunho because of his dedication to his work and his dancing. "I heard stories of his training days and predebut days. They have become stories that I looked up to. I hope I can be even half the performer he is."
- Massive fan of TVXQ. "I don't understand how they are still going so strong. They have faced hell and not even blinked. I hope I can do that."
- Always has the time on her. "Time means I know when to get food, when the stores are open and when I can call people."
- Smiles a lot. "Frowning will create wrinkles. No one wants them at a young age."
- Uses facial expression to match the mood of the dance she does, but most of the time its a smile/smirk. "You body creates art. Dance is not solely about your limbs moving. Its about your body creating something beautiful. You can't have it unfinished with a blank face."
- Named one of the best female rappers in a national contest. Won first place in dancing competition in Seoul.
- Loves T.O.P's song Doom Dada. "Its catchy. And great to rap to."
- Ideal type is SHINee's Taemin or EXO's Kai. "I don't know they are adorable, not only are the beautiful, but they are pieces of art when they dance."
- Has two pet dogs (Manchester Terrier) called Ryu and (Doberman Pinscher) Leo.

FAMILY — 
Mother / Jung Ji Woo / 52/53 / Motherly - Gentle - Caring - Authoritive
- Aeri's mother is the typical mother you see in movies and dramas. She can cook like no other, and always makes treats when Aeri comes to visit them in Incheon. However she has a phobia of spiders and always gets Aeri or Min Jong to get rid of it. Aeri has massive respect for her mother. Ji Woo works as a kindergarten teacher now, instead of a primary school teacher.

Father / Jung Min Jong / 54/55 / Knowledgeable - Playful - Kind - Devoted
- Aeri's father is realy smart, like a genius. He still works a professor, now just working at Seoul National University. He works a lot, and teases Aeri about boyfriends, but is, like most other dads very over protective about whom she is friends with and dates. Acts like a teenager in love with Ji Woo, but with well over twenty years of partnership.

Best Friend / Park Chanyeol / 22/23 / Optimistic - Dorky - Outgoing - Kind - Playful
- A member of EXO. Chanyeol is her sort of other dorky half, who else is there to play pranks and challenge to games on their phones.

— Kim Jongin (Kai)
 

NICKNAMES — 
Ballerino - male term of ballerina
Dancing Machine
Kkamjong

SUMMARY — 
Kai is a very caring person, outside of his y, showy on-stage persona. He works really hard to get where he wants and is very blunt around his friends and the other members of EXO. He'd rather talk it out than keep everything quiet. He can't really hide anything very well. He is actually very shy in interviews and to strangers, but definitely likes people to be comfortable as they are. Caring, intellectual and kind, but still definitely prone to staring at himself in the mirror. He has three dogs. Voted best gamer in EXO, and the one who sleeps the most. Loves skinship, but is a gentleman about it, he's pretty patient with others, but can have the occasional shouting match/temper tantrum.
 

FIRST MEETING — He came into the practise room where Aeri was training and they met each other over their mutual love of dance.

RELATIONSHIP — Good friends, but both know that they love one another, but don't date due to the massive amount of saesang fans after EXO. Likes each others company. Likes to walk their dogs together.

CONCLUSION — Long term dating, turns out to get married. Eventually agree to having a private relationship.

 

— LOOK NOW.

SCENE SUGGESTIONS — Variety Shows. Something like Running Man or Dream Team, but also Hello Counselor.

NOTE***: I am quite happy to discuss my character, change her personality and love interest. Please feel free to PM me.
