ENFJ　"THE PROTAGONIST"　GODDESS HERA
 positive  tolerant, reliable, altruistic, kindhearted
sensitive, selfless, fluctuating self-esteem, idealistic  negative 

tolerant mari is a true team player, and she recognizes that it means listening to other people's opinions, even when they contradict her own. she admits that she doesn't have all the answers, and are often receptive to dissent, so long as it remains constructive.
reliable the only thing that bugs her the most is the idea of leeting down a person or cause that she truly believes in. if it's possible, she'll always be counted on to see it through, even if she's not considered the leader.
altruistic uniting all the qualities is her unyielding desire to do good in and for her community, be it in her own home or the global stage. being genuinely warm and selfless, mari believes that if she can just bring people together, she can do a world of good.
kindhearted mari loves helping others and is known to be caring and protective over practically everyone, even if they don't notice it. she's the kind of girl that will do everything and anything to help and protect others, even if it means risking her own life every once in awhile.

sensitive while receptive to criticism, seeing it as a tool for leading a better team, it's easy for her to take it a little too much to heart. her sensitivity to others means that she sometimes feels problems that aren't her own and try to fix things she can't fix, worrying if she's doing enough.
selfless mari can bury herself in her hopeful promises, feeling others' problems as her own and striving hard to meet her word. if she isn't careful, however, she can spread herself too thin and be left unable to help anyone.
fluctuating self-esteem mari defines her self-esteem by whether she's able to live up to her ideals, and sometimes ask for criticism more out of insecurity than out of confidence, always wondering what she could do better. if she fails to meet a certain goal or to help someone she said they'd help, her self-confidence will undoubtedly plummet.
idealistic mari can sometimes be caught off guard as she finds that, through circumstance or nature, or simple misunderstanding, people fight against her and defy the principles she's adopted, no matter how well-intentioned she may be, she's more likely to feel pity for this opposition than anger, and can earn a reputation of naïveté.

　mari grew up in a rather normal household of three, her being the only child. she was born in seattle, washington, usa on the twenty-nineth day of one of the coldest month of the year in 1995, only to be brought to south korea at the age of nine. mari was born into a wealthy family and her family continues to remain in the high-middle class due to saving a lot from the states and her parents' occupations.
　mari's parents wanted to best for her, so, they pushed her into entering a business school when she graduated high school. why? because her parents wanted to continue the tradition of their family raising them to become a lawyer or part of the police force. but that wasn't what mari wanted. growing up, mari was introduced to kpop and music, and one night she had gone to a karaoke room with her high school friends. that was when mari found a love for singing. but that wasn't what her parents wanted.
　because of her parents, she was forced into a business school to become a lawyer after graduating early from high school at the age of seventeen (eighteen in korea) due to skipping a grade back in elementary school. but, of course, mari still wanted to sing and didn't think of anything else, but that. so, she decided to go around to local parks to sing for money. her parents didn't know that she was doing this over the weekends, but then again, they didn't know about her love for singing.
　early last year (2015), her best friend, hanbin, had talked to her about there being an audition for the company that he was signed under. but mari didn't want to audition as she was focusing more on passing the semester. singing, to her, was became of a hobby rather than something she wanted in life. she forgot about her dream of becoming a singer and started to focus more on making her parents proud. however, in late 2015, she was recruited by a blue moon entertainment when she was singing in the park. mari didn't make her decision of joining until a few months later (december).
　in early 2016, mari had finally completed school and earned her J.D. degree in law. her parents wanted her to continue, but after hearing her sing korea's national anthem at the ceremony (since she was asked by the university's dean to sing), that was when she told her parents of her being recruited by an entertainment agency and had already started training since december. at first they weren't all for her doing this, stopping with a bachelor's degree and going into singing, but they wanted her daughter to be happy and smiling. that was when they made a compromise: she was allowed to join blue moon entertainment as long as she would take her Lawyer Admission Test in the following month (april). and, of course, mari said yes.

• during her high school years, she would do volunteer work at local animal shelters and soup kitchens since she wanted to give back and feel good about herself; she enjoys doing acts of kindness, even to this day.

when her mother isn't available, she'll go to her father whenever he's at home, which is usually during the late night hours due to his job. but when they do talk, they talk about the usual "how's your day", "have you eaten", etc. although kyungjun wasn't home most of the time, he still somehow can relate to mari because mari is more alike to her father than her mother. so, kyungjun understands mari more than anyone and always offers his shoulder to cry on. however, when it comes to mari's love life and future plans, her father won't hesitate to interrogate her. but mari knows that he's acting this way for his one and only daughter to have a great future.

 

Stagename 마리, mari
personahera (goddess of marriage; queen of the gods) — because of her caring personality, she's seen as a very motherly and patient person. she cares for everyone and everything, and would rarely get angered since her patience is practically made of steel. mari can be sensitive and unsure of herself, but her motherly side overpowers practically everything. and since the concept of the group is 'goddesses', this was the persona that she went with from learning about hera through astrology. because of this persona of hers, mari is usually labeled as the "nation's wife" or "nation's daughter-in-law".

　she was recruited to join blue moon entertainment in august of 2015, but not through being in another company. the ceo was walking around seoul where she met mari, who was surrounded by a group of people listening to her sing and play the guitar. the ceo loved her singing and the fact that she can play the guitar, thus asking her afterwards if she wanted to join an entertainment company. mari was skeptical at first since her father had taught her to not trust anyone who just randomly comes up to you and asks you for a deed, but the ceo had given her a business card and was told to call when she had made a decision.
　in december of 2015 she called the ceo and told her that she was interested, thus starting her training life in mid-december. but the worst part? her parents didn't know about this. when she told her parents at her graduation in april of 2016, they were shocked over the fact their own flesh and blood had lied to her about her whereabouts since december. but, because mari was so extremely happy about training, her parents let her slide and continue on.
　her trainee life was like what many say it would be. school in the morning, training in the afternoon and homework late at night. this cycle would continue everyday and, to mari, was very gruesome as the trainers pushed her far, especially in dancing. since mari had no history in dancing, she was struggling in that field. but, in the end, she was able to dance and is known as one of the hardest working trainees in blue moon.

　she was involved in a scandal with hanbin in april 2016 because there was a picture surfacing with him at a graduation, meeting with a girl and her family afterwards. that girl turned out to be mari, but no one knew of her name or who she was back then. however, hanbin was dragged into a dating scandal while his other members were in a scandal before as well. but hanbin had to clarify at one of his concerts that he was single and the rumors weren't true. he said that it was just his neighborhood best friend who was graduating from law school and invited him to celebrate.
　in college over the weekends, mari would go to a local park and sing while playing the guitar. the money she raised over a month would be split to go to herself and to a local charity.
