APPEARANCE Kanalia is pretty with long brown hair but many people don't think she's pretty because she is chubbier than the ideal type.

STYLE Kanalia follows the latest trends with fashion. She likes the cutesy makeup and clothes that are trending. She is guilty of buying many things she sees on Tiktok that she doesn't need. At the dorm she wears random shorts and a big shirt, often they don't match.

BACKGROUND

Kanalia was born in Daejeon to musical theatre loving parents. They named her Kanalia because they wanted her to have a beautiful voice like a Canary. When she was still little and too young to join them they will drop her off to her grandparents home just to go see a play. As soon as Kanalia was old enough to sit still and not make a fuss for a few hours straight she went to the theatre. Just like her parents she loved it too so it was like watching a cartoon to her. She knew some songs with her parents already too. During the Phantom of the Opera world tour she went with her parents in 2009 and fell in love with it. She really loved the opera style singing. Her parents saw she had a talent so they put her in opera lessons. Her voice was very powerful for her age. She participated in many performances growing up and was always in her theatre club at school. Her family would travel to New York once a year to see Broadway show and a show at the Metropolitan Opera. It has always been her dream to go to New York and be the main character in one of those plays. Actually she got into The Juilliard School for voice and opera but the tuition was too expensive so she chose Jeju University instead.

PERSONALITY

Melodramatic, talkative, self loathing, friendly, airheaded, moody, open minded, resilient

Kanalia is a friendly person. She can talk to people and make friends easily. Maybe all the performing made her not a shy person at all. It also made her melodramatic because she exaggerates her stories and whenever something happens she thinks the world is ending. Like if she trips on stage then she feels the whole world is against her and it’s the worst day ever. Joobin has to remind her that all her problem are first world issues and she’ll live. Then she perks up easily again so she can go and try something else or feel suddenly encouraged. She can be hot and cold easy but then maybe her frustrations are never that serious because it doesn’t last long. Singing makes her happy so any frustrations go away when she sings. She talks a lot especially when she’s nervous or it’s awkward she tries to find things to say to fill the silence. She is open minded and understanding towards others so it’s easy to talk to her about anything. She doesn’t judge others but will judge herself for not looking as good as others and thinks others are better singers even though she’s talented herself. She doesn’t have many strong opinions unless it’s about musicals and dramas. Maybe a bit airheaded because she believes things easily that other people say. She will see something on Tiktok and instantly believe even if it doesn’t make sense. But even though she feels many downs and insecure she still pushes forward and tries to lift her friends up too.

Funny enough Kanalia's best friend is someone who has no interest in singing but she loves her anyways. Since she's known Joobin so long she understands her easily so she is always the one in between her and Sara to calm them down. Kanalia is supportive to Joobin and asks her for help often though she wishes Joobin will confide in her more. Joobin brings her back down to earth with her honesty a lot.

interview

hello! welcome to the jeju university family! can you tell me a bit about yourself?

Hi! I'm Kanalia, its a weird name, I know. But i'm named after the Canary bird, maybe my parents knew I would have a beautiful voice. So you can call me Daejeon's Canary bird.

out of all the colleges in korea, why did you pick jeju university and why your major?

Actually my first pick was The Juilliard School but it turned out to be too expensive so I came here instead. As long as I can study music I will be happy either way.

where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I see myself performing the Phantom of the Opera as Christine on a big stage like The Metropolitan Opera. Wouldn't that be amazing? 

what would you say are your biggest strengths and weaknesses?

My strength is my strong singing voice but then my weakness is maybe my weight? It might not seem to matter but in theatre it does.

as a freshman you will reside in chungsam hall, what do you look for in a roommate? any lifestyle habits that you find intolerable?

I am so excited to meet my other roommate. I know my friend Joobin will be one of them, we are different but get along well so it'll be easy. I think the only intolerable thing is smoking, it's gross in my opinion.

what are you looking forward to the most as an incoming freshman?

Being in the school play! Jeju University as a few major productions right? I know I'm just a freshman but it'll be an honor to be apart of the cast. Please wish for me to break a leg so I can get in the cast!

♡ you can choose

IDEA Kanalia will like a boy that is way out of her league (maybe older) and she tries to change herself to impress him based on what he likes even if it means lying to him and pretending. Since she liked a boy before that didn’t like her back she doesn’t want that to happen again. So her friends help her discover more things about him, specific Joobin helps her by using her coding skills too. This is just my broad idea so you can choose the ending.

OUT OF CHARACTER
