 ⋄ Idealistic, Energetic, Dependable, Strong-Willed.
 ⋄ Candid, Sportive.
 ⋄ Envious, Neurotic, Inept, Scatterbrained.
When you first get to know Park Arin, the thing you'll notice first is her idealistic, almost utopian attitude. Though she is not the type of person who would be able to fix all the problems of the world on her own, Arin sees how certain things are and improves on them. She is the type of person to ask 'What if?' and answers the question in the same breath. Arin's energy also comes with her idealistic tendencies. Albeit her energy is not always as stereotypical as most people, but she does have an upbeat personality and is one to bring the mood up. When interacting with others, she is dependable. Arin loves to meet new people and make friends and has a habit of being very loyal to the ones she's closest with. If she says something, she will do it and keep her word. And lastly, it's a no-brainer that Arin is also strong-willed. It goes hand in hand with being dependable, but Arin is good with setting goals and achieving them in a set time. Though she is not the type of person who will go through a spiral if she hasn't completed a goal, she reminds herself that it's good to have failures once in a while and will just try again.
Arin has been described as a candid person, meaning that she sees things how it is. This also leans into her idealism, but she wishes to also to improve what she sees. This isn't always the case, however. Arin speaks her mind and can be straightforward. Sure she can be a fun loving person, but at the end of the day she is honest with everything and everyone. Speaking of which, Arin is also seen as a sportive, playful girl. This also means that she'll be competitive when she wants to, as she doesn't like the idea of failure, she will make sure that she isn't a failure. Because of this, she will go to the earth's end to get what she wants.
In many ways, Arin can become envious of others. Despite growing up in a stable household, Arin struggles with people who are more lucky than her, leading her to become jealous of others. She doesn't do anything about it, though, but it can lead her into being insecure about herself. Because of hardships of failing over and over again, Arin developed a neurotic personality. She has a tendency to go through her past and obsess over the things she has done, good, bad, important, unimportant, etc... She can't expect things how things are and earns to fix it. On a lighter note, Arin is also inept, meaning that she tends to be clumsy. She doesn't always pay attention to things and ends up messing something up one way or another. And lastly, Arin can be a scatterbrain. She has a lot of things on her mind to the point where she says and does stuff that she genuinely doesn't mean to. She's trying to get better with this, with writing things down and planning, but again, her thoughts tends to overwrites her actions.



BACKGROUND

Park Arin was born on February 5th, 1998 in Daegu, South Korea to her parents Park Siwoo and Jang Yuchae. Arin has a younger brother who is three years younger than her, Park Jinun. The family of four resided in a middle class neighborhood in Daegu.
To be frank, Arin's life is not that special from the other kids. She would honestly say that she had it easy. Arin had a good relationship with her family and friends, her parents seemed to be well off financially, she got good grades and was healthy, what more could Arin want?
To be an idol, that's what Arin wants. Unlike other idols, there was no definitive moment when she decided she wanted to be one. It just naturally happened. But luckily, her parents were accepting of her endeavors, and was willing to help her out with it. Arin started to audition for companies as young as twelve years old.
She actually remembers one of her first auditions for JYP Entertainment, mainly because it helped shape her into the person she is today. Obviously, Arin failed the audition, but she didn't leave empty handed and actually got some advice to improve: "Improve your dance." That was all the audition panel said, but their words were impactful enough to the point where that's what all Arin did; dancing.
It came to a point where all she did was go to school, go to dance class, go home, and repeat. With her improving her dancing, Arin would have thought that she would be able to get into one of the companies she was auditioning to for the past couple of years, but there was no luck.
Then, when Arin turned 18 years old, she finally got a trainee contract at a 9 month old company, NAYO Entertainment. Arin never heard of NAYO, but it was the only entertainment company that had actually accepted her, so she decided to give it a shot and moved to Seoul immediately.
However, things quickly went downhill after four days of Arin being an official trainee. Because it turns out NAYO was a front for organized crime, specifically a gambling operation, something that was illegal in South Korea. The police raided the building in broad daylight, while Arin and a couple other trainees were on a break. In result, NAYO Entertainment closed down its doors and kicked their innocent employees and trainees off to the curb.
Arin was in a slump, her dreams of even securing a trainee contract were shattered in just four days. She didn't want to go back to Daegu and have everyone around her go on a sympathy tour, not just yet. Little by little, Arin picked herself off the ground and started to work part time jobs to keep a small yet reasonable apartment in Seoul, while debating whether or not to continue her dream of becoming an idol.
Arin went to audition for Dal Media, not knowing if they would even care about her or it would just be another front, but it turns out it was the exact opposite, as Dal Media accepted Arin with open arms.

RELATIONS

박 씨족


RELATION Family.
AGE 53, 55, 20.
OCCUPATION Historian, Lawyer, University Student.

RELATIONSHIP
 ⋄ Though there's nothing more to say about Arin's family, family is important to her, even though she doesn't show it in many ways.
She is thankful for her parents for providing her with resources to help her audition for companies. And with Jinun, Arin's brother, there is nothing much to add, they're your stereotypical older sister and younger brother relationship.







 

민건우


RELATION Friend, Ex-Fling.
AGE 24.
OCCUPATION Copywriter.

RELATIONSHIP
 ⋄ Arin met Geonu when they were both trainees at NAYO Entertainment. Geonu was a well seasoned trainee, being a trainee when the company opened its doors. He and five other male trainees were set up to debut, but things turned south when the company was forced to shut down.
The two confided in each other after the closing of NAYO, almost like they were trauma bonded. Things turned from a friendship to an almost relationship pretty quickly, but both Arin and Geonu decided not to get into a relationship.
They still remain friends to this day, with their feelings still unsure, but neither of them want to hurt each other's feelings.







 

ECLIPSE


RELATION Groupmates.

RELATIONSHIP
 ⋄ When the idea of Eclipse had rung into Arin's ears, she wasn't on board from the start. She had always thought she would debut in a full girl group, not a co-ed group. But overtime, Arin had given into the idea. She is closer to the girls than the guys.
Arin is very grateful for her members, even if there are some setbacks. Arin was skeptical of it, and was worried whether or not it would fail. But now, she is fine with it.







 

DAL MEDIA


ROSE
 ⋄ Unlike Twilight, Arin is honestly unfamiliar with Rose. She didn’t pay much attention when they debuted, and thought that the number of members was overwhelming for her.
But upon meeting the members of Rose, she warmed up to them pretty quickly, though there is no members that she’s close to.


TWILIGHT
 ⋄ Because Twilight is similar to Eclipse, Arin feels comfortable around them. She actually hoped that she would debut in Twilight when she first entered Dal Media, only to find out it was an already established group. She is good friends with Willow, Kenji, and Sungjin.

PANDORA
 ⋄ here.







 



STAGE

STAGE NAME Arin, 아린 ︲ It's an unique enough to be a stage name, but Arin often gets confused with Oh My Girl's Arin. But Park Arin doesn’t really care, she was born first, so finders keepers.
PLOTLINE Sun 03 ︲ Main Dancer, Vocalist. Moon 03︲ Main Rapper, Lead Dancer, Vocalist.

VOCAL TWIN
 ⋄ ex-I.O.I's 소혜 ︲ IVE's 레이.
RAP TWIN
 ⋄ ex-I.O.I's 소혜 ︲ IVE's 레이.
DANCE TWIN
 ⋄ ITZY's 예지 ︲ LOONA's 현진.
VARIETY TWIN
 ⋄ WJSN's 은서 ︲ Red Velvet's 예리.

TRAINEE LIFE 4 Days at NAYO Entertainment ︲ 2½ Years at Dal Media.
 ⋄ There's not much to say about Arin's time at NAYO Entertainment because she barely spent any time there. Arin genuinely didn't know it was a gambling front, it just operated like any other idol company. But Arin didn't gain or lose much of her own skills, she was just the same person from when she joined the company.
So it's a no-brainer that she improved a lot since joining Dal Media. Because Arin spent so much time dancing when she was auditioning for companies, she completely forgot about her vocal skills, which slowly declined over the years. Until she started training with Dal, she didn't pay attention to her vocals, and the trainers had to work overtime with her to get her up to speed.
After two years of training with Dal Media, Arin was ready to debut with Eclipse.


FUTURE ACTIVITIES
 ⋄ Fixed Member on a Variety Show ︲ Arin would like to be on Korean variety shows more, so Dal Media scheduled her to be a guest on various shows, eventually becoming a regular or MC. ︲ 202X.
HEADLINES
 ⋄ An Old Paparazzi Picture of Eclipse's Arin Brings up Questions from Fans ︲ NAYO Entertainment was a pretty big discussion topic in Korea when the police found out about the true intentions behind the company. Because gambling is illegal in Korea, publications often update every little detail about NAYO. One of which was Arin.
She wasn't publicly named to protect her privacy, but when Eclipse debuted, fans noticed that she looked oddly similar to paparazzi photos of NAYO trainees exiting the building when the raid happened. It was soon revealed that she was one of the trainees.
Some people were skeptical of Arin simply because she was a trainee at NAYO, and some even accused her of still being involved in gambling and such. It got to a point where Dal Media had to put out a statement before Eclipse's debut defending Arin. ︲ 2021.


LOVE

TRIVIA
  ⋄ Matchmake her? Or you can just throw a curveball and have her go back to Geonu.

Hello again Jac!

I'm gonna start off by saying I love Arin. I am yet to see a character by you that I don't like. I can really see her being a good fit for Eclipse if she is chosen! I feel like I keep giving you short reviews but there is never anything wrong and your character never fail to be wonderful. So I will also keep this review short and let you know that Arin has been accepted! Thank you for applying!

Hi Jac! I am so excited to see that you have applied to Eclipse as I obviously love your other Dal Media characters, so lets get right into it!

I think Kihyuk is a very interesting character. I really like his back story and like how it shaped him into who he is. I honestly dont have much to say except that he is really great and I cant see anything wrong with him, so, Kihyuk has been accepted!

(Sorry for the short review, I recently started classes so my brain is fried)

Hi Jac! Thanks for submitting another character to Twilight.

I find Kenji really interesting. I really like him as a character and I like that you gave him a unique reason for wanting to become an idol. I feel like DAL Media would be a great company for him if he was in it for the money as the company would have a lot of financial backing (due to the CEO's family) so the trainee debt would be little to none. Overall, I really enjoyed Kenji and thing he would be an interesting character to play around with if chosen for Twilight. I also enjoyed his relationship with Sage and would love to also explore that if he is chosen.

I think by now you may have realised that Kenji has been accepted! Thanks again for applying!

Hey there Jac! Thanks for applying for Twilight. Let me preface this with saying that I am on some pretty strong pain meds so I am sorry if this is short or doesn't make much sense but I am trying my best! That being said, I am really excited to review Mishil so let's get right into it!

I really love Mishil. There is something about her personality that I just really enjoy and makes her feel real. I strongly identify with being a smartass and i feel like that could be really fun to write. I also enjoyed how you have written her background as I have found that some people tend to be a little over dramatic when writing about anything similar to what you have written, but you really have a way of making it feel realistic and not overly fake or dramatic. I am happy you have decided to leave lots of things open since it will give me a lot of chances to explore Misil through writing if she is chosen!

I really do like everything about Mishil and think you have done a wonderful job so I will keep this review short before I start rambling and making little sense and let you know that Misil has been accepted! Thanks for applying again and sorry for the short and not very detailed review.
