PERSONALITY TRAITS:
ENFP: "THE CAMPAIGNER"
positive observant, enthusiastic, friendly, excellent communicator
independent, overthinker, stress(ed), emotional negative
ELABORATION:
observant, adj. quick to notice things.
jaemi is someone who believes that there's no irrelevant actions. they always watch every movement and idea form, trying to piece things together as if they're part of something bigger. she tries to notices the little things, trying not to miss a moment. if, somehow, she does miss a little detail, she immediately feel as if something's missing. jaemi always thinks that the insignificant people and things that others aren't aware of is part of a bigger picture that she's trying to piece together one by one.
enthusiastic, adj. having or showing intense and eager enjoyment, interest, or approval.
jaemi's not one to hold her tongue as she's always observing and forming new ideas in her seventeen year-old head of hers. she's always excited about what she finds out and she tends to share it with anyone who's willing to listen, which is usually her brother or doyun through phone calls. because of her enthusiastic behavior, she's able to make more friends than she first thought she would gain. even when the going gets tough, she's always seen with a smile on her face followed by a compliment or laughter of some sort.
friendly, adj. kind and pleasant.
because jaemi's such a spontaneous person who adapts to her surroundings quicker than others, she appears approachable, interesting and exciting. not only that, but she's also someone who's cooperative and friendly with a altruistic spirit that everyone wants in their lives. jaemi gets along with pretty much everyone, however, her circle of people she considers "close friends" are quite small. but everyone knows of her one way or the other. even to those that are deemed "unpopular" or are a "target for bullying", jaemi's kind and friendly nature overpowers any force and she'll immediately go to your aid. sometimes this can be seen as something terrible, considering that someone with such a high status in the school is helping someone of a lower rank, but jaemi can't help it; she's just too kind for her own good.
excellent communicator, n. someone able to speak in an outstanding manner.
based on jaemi's strong people skills, she's able to express her own ideas. she enjoys both small talks and deep, meaningful conversations. she's able to steer conversations towards their desired subjects in a way that makes it feel natural and unforced. jaemi's someone that many go to if they want to talk to someone about something or are just needing someone to talk to. heck, even if you're someone who goes unnoticed in school, jaemi will surely say hi and ask how you are in the hallway on her way to class.
independent, adj. not depending on another for livelihood or subsistence.
jaemi hates being held down by heavy-handed rules and wants to be seen as a highly independent person of their own fates. she wants to go by her own wisdom and own rules and hates being restrained by things that don't suit her fancy. she's had her handful of skipping classes and constant talking back to her parents, but they were all for the sake of her wanting it the way she wanted it to. she hates being stuck in a class she dislikes for too long, so she tends to fake a sickness or would just skip it altogether. and with her parents. her parents have a set plan for their children to either go into accounting or business in order to work alongside them, but jaemi has her mind set on dance. the most challenging thing for her is that she lives in a world full of checks and balances, something that doesn't suit jaemi's fancy.
overthinker, n. someone who thinks about something too much or for too long.
jaemi looks for underlying motives in the smallest and simplest of things, so she rarely takes things at face value. she tends to lose some sleep, asking herself why someone did what they did, why they did that, and sometimes just about random thoughts that come into mind. once she overthought a problem on a test to the point that she had no time to finish two others (however, she passed that test... somehow). jaemi enjoys daydreaming and staying up late just to think about her day.
stress(ed), v. subject to pressure or tension.
all this overthinking isn't just for her own benefit, as she's very sensitive and cares deeply about other people's thoughts and feelings. because of her friendliness and her "popularily", others often look to her for guidance and help. of course, jaemi doesn't mind helping them when they need it most, but it takes time and it's easy for her to get overwhelmed, especially when it's something that triggers her emotions too.
emotional, adj. arousing or characterized by intense feeling.
emotional expression is healthy and natural, which jaemi views as a core part of her identity. however, her emotions can come out strong enough to cause problems for her. when she's under stress, criticism or conflict, jaemi tends to fake her emotions, but when she gets home, she immediately throws an emotional outburst that's counter-productive. sometimes, she takes the dark route of harming herself when she's exceptionally upset over something, which caused her the scar on her arm. yep. she lied about the scar being from an accident, but only for the sake of not showing people her weak side.
BACKGROUND:
serein, n. fine, light rain that falls from a clear sky, sunset or in the early hours of night.
june 8, 1999. weather forcast? cloudy with an 80% chance of rain. however, just hours before the rain was about to begin, the clouds vanished and that 80 took off it's belt and became 0% chance. as if nature was calling out to a married couple with an already four year-old son, they were blessed with a girl at 12:57p.m., the time of when the sun decided to make an appearance after days of rain. ryu jaemi, most known by the english name of jamie, was born successfully in downtown seoul, south korea just minutes away from their home. because of that day, her parents had always thought that she was a blessing from above because her birth is said to have made the sun appear and the horrid rain to stop. however, the thought of her being a blessing suddenly took a toll when she entered elementary school.
appetence, n. an eager desire, an instinctive inclination; an attraction or a natural bond.
when jaemi was in elementary school, she found a love for dancing. how? no one but jaemi herself knows. however, she always says that she had gotten into it after she watched youtube videos when she was six, along with her mother putting her into ballet at the age of three just for the sake of her daughter being able to do something fun. ever since she was three, she had fallen in love with dance of any genre. starting with ballet at the age of three, jazz at the age of six, and finally self-teaching herself of many other genres at the age of ten. with the help of her dance background, she was able to become extremely flexible and is able to make good acquaintances. along with that, she was able to enter into a competitive activity in high school— cheerleading.
euphoria, n. state of intense happiness and self-confidence.
once she entered high school, she heard a lot of good things about the cheer squad, how they were all able to compete and do what they love the most. because of that, and because of her love for cheering others up and dance, she decided to take a chance in being part of the team as a freshman. luckily for her, she was able to become part of the team despite being new to the school and the high school atmosphere. after a few weeks with the team and competing alongside them, she was able to make a good amount of friends and acquaintances. although having friends isn't the whole idea of "being happy", jaemi was extremely thrilled to have so many people knowing her and enjoying her company. although some people are annoying for her, especially because of her personality type, she loves every single person she comes across and will never turn down an offer. but happiness always comes with sadness, one way or another.
desolation, n. state of complete emptiness or destruction.
ever since her brother had entered college, her parents became more and more busy with their seperate jobs. her father started working more hours at the bank, even beginning on-calls with those working at the bank; so, technically, he was able to work at home. her mother became the new owner of the one and only dog café in seoul, which caused her to become busier than when she was a waitress at the said café. her brother, of course, entered college, which limited the amount of sibling bonding time. this is where her emotional stability started to decline and became more independent with herself. she was usually the only one at home ever since her last year of middle/secondary school up until now. no one knows that her parents are usually not home unless jaemi has an important event to either be brought to or attend. but besides that, she only sees her mother when jaemi decides to work at the café and her father when he comes home at late hours. jaemi may seem happy and content with her life, but she has family problems that drop her mood in a split second, which is why she's thankful for the cheer team and many people that knows of her.
LIFESTYLE:
atermoiement, n. distraction or hesitation leading to procrastination.
throughout her freshman year, she had the habit of skipping the last few of her classes, but only because she would hang out with her friend doyun just for the heck of it. usually she would fake a sickness of somesort and, surprisingly, her teachers would allow for her to leave for the nurse's office (in reality, she's actually just leaving the school to meet up with doyun). however, that was only during her freshman year. she wakes up early, she passes her classes with average grades, but will skip classes when she truly doesn't like the lesson or hates the subject overall. but, besides that, she tries to attend most, if not all, her classes once she reached her junior year of high school. why she decided to start attending her classes rather than skipping it? for the sake of staying on the cheer team and in order for her parents to not find out about her endevours.
meraki, n. the soul, creativity, or love put into something.
jaemi works part-time ever-so often at her mother's café. usually she works more hours during the summer, but she will tend to work over the weekends throughout the school year when her schedule permits it. however, when jaemi isn't working or just doesn't feel like working, she tends to hit up a local dance studio near her place just to dance. she does help run classes there as well for another part-time job, but, because of her hectic schedule and personal life issues, she hasn't been seen in classes.
TRIVIA:
✩ likes
dogs she doesn't have a specific breed she likes the most and admits that she works at her mother's café just for the dogs. the dogs at the café make up for not having her own dog at home, especially since it's a lot of work to take care of it by herself.
red her current favorite color, which is why she dyed her hair red. however, her favorite color changes every few years; just two years ago, her favorite color was caramel, so she dyed her hair caramel brown.
hoodies the number of hoodies she has is pretty crazy, and a lot of them come from her brother's closet when he's off at college (he doesn't mind, so it's all okay!); this is where her nickname of "red riding hood" comes from.
coffee although it's not healthy for someone who enjoys cheerleading and dancing, but it's practically a given since her mother owns a café and she learned how to make it from scratch by her mother.
music considering that she dances to various kinds of music, she's all for music of any genre. but not country, only because she just can't pull herself to enjoying it like others. however, she loves edm, pop, hiphop, and r&b, which are the top four genres that she dances to and recommends for cheer.
✩ dislikes
romance movies she's not the typical girl who loves the lovey-dovey stories that end in happily ever after, no. jaemi is the complete opposite of that. she enjoys thriller and horror-based movies that get her spine tingling.
peas the one vegetable that she hates with a strong passion, and she honestly doesn't know why.
weak she hates to appear weak in front of others, especially those closest to her. that's why, when she's feeling emotionally unstable, she's usually locked in her room blasting music so no one could hear her, in the shower crying, or dancing away in a dance studio to release her stress.
insects she just hates insects with a burning passion. she always says that they're the "spawn of satan" and she suffers from extreme entomophobia.
tea it's just something about the taste that makes jaemi want to spit it out immediately. she's okay with the smell and she knows how to make it, but she can never bring herself to actually drink it.
✩ hobbies
cheerleading pretty much a given since she's someone who's full of "pep" and enjoys cheering others on.
dance she's been dancing ever since she was four and can dance pretty much any genre, however, she's more comfortable with hiphop, and r&b; ex: one, two, three, four.
listening to music this is pretty much a given in itself.
✩ habits
help she can never say no to someone when they're asking for help or advice on something. even when others say she should just tell them no, she has the need to help that person, even if it puts a bad reputation on her.
thumb jaemi tends to bite the tip of her thumb when she's figuring out something, whether it's what to improve on or a question on a test.
positivity no matter what, jaemi's always seen smiling and laughing. she's always happy and excited about what's to come, even despite the fact she's actually broken inside.
✩ misc
café during the summer, she works at her mother's café from sunday to wednesday; she'll work occassionally over the weekends when school starts, but that's only if her schedule allows it
sns she only has an instagram (@jmie.ryu) that she updates when she's travelling, during someone's birthday, or with her friends/family
college she doesn't know which school she wants to go to yet, however, she hopes to go into the dance department, even if her parents don't approve of it. but she's willing to help her mother at the café, just as long as she's able to enter into the major that she wants.
anemia jaemi suffers from anemia, but she takes iron supplements and vitamin b daily so she won't get any of the symptoms (fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, etc.) when she's dancing, cheering, or in extremely hot weather. the last time she fainted from her anemia and was rushed to the hospital for blood transfusion was back when she was six. since then, she makes sure she takes the needed medication in order to not let that happen again.
myopia she's nearsighted, so whenever she's far away from something she needs to read, she'll always whip out her glasses and put it on. however, she's usually seen with her glasses on during school and work hours, but when it comes to any physical stuff, she'll trade in her glasses for contacts.
RELATIONSHIPS:
✩ mother ryu minjeong (46; 47 in korea) / owner @ bau house dog café, seoul location / supportive, curious, impulsive / 9 out of 10
→ out of her mother and father, jaemi is most closest with her mother. why? because jaemi is always with her mother practically 24/7 ever since she came out of the womb. she works alongside her mother and in return her mother helps her with schoolwork and getting her places. her mother is very supportive of jaemi's love for dance and cheer, and always makes sure that she's healthy. jaemi does the same in terms of health and would always watch after her mother, especially since she's reaching the age when her body's beginning to slow down and her health is declining. however, her mother wants her to become successful in the future, which means that she wants her daughter to end up either in business or accounting with her brother. but that's the opposite of what jaemi wants in life.
✩ father ryu wongyu (49; 50 in korea) / head manager @ bank of korea, seoul location / reliable, direct, over-suspicious / 8 out of 10
→ although she's not the closest with her father, she still loves him regardless of his busy schedules and always being on-call. her father is a very reliable person when it comes to remembering important times and dates as well as important events in his children's lives. however, he becomes over-suspicious, especially considering that both his children are at the age of dating. that why he's always asking jaemi and her brother as to whether or not they found someone they like. he's more wary about jaemi dating since she's both the youngest and only daughter. but besides all that, he still cares and loves both his children and wishes for them to be successful in the future.
✩ older brother ryu jungki (21; 22 in korea) / accounting major @ kyunghee university / intelligent, childish, annoying at times / 9.5 out of 10
→ even though there's a four year age difference between the two, her brother's personality is almost the equivalence to jaemi. although her brother is extremely intelligent, and you could even say he's more intelligent than jaemi in practically every subject, he's also extremely childish and can be annoying (in a good way, of course). before he left for college, he would always bug jaemi when she did her homework and about what she does in school. he's even about doyun when he overheard from a friend that goes to jaemi's school that his one and only sister, a freshman, was hooking up with a jock. he can be a little over-protective at times, but that's just because jaemi is basically the baby of the family; of course you'd keep an eye on the last born. the two try to hang out when they can, be it during holidays or when he has some time off to watch his little sister cheer or dance. as children, they did practically everything together; well, everything but homework. her brother was more of the child nerd of the two and would always end up doing her homework along with his own. it's not that jaemi was incapable of doing it, she was, but it was just because her brother enjoyed the extra workload. even to this day, her brother would ask about if she needs help with her homework and would either help her or do it all.
