The Music Box

Description

The box was an old one; the wood so chipped and scarred that it was likely to have lasted through a war or two. And it certainly had passed through a war because clinging to the tiny dancing girl inside was the spirit of a long dead child. The question is: What kind of war was it?

----------------------

You are a 15 year old high school student with a love for antiques (thanks to your antique-collector parents). One day when you are visiting your favorite antiques store, you discover a music box that the owner gives to you as a gift. What neither of you know is that the box contains the spirit of a girl that died long ago and would give anything to live again.

Unknowingly, you trigger a switch and are now trapped in the box in the dead girl's place. You two make an agreement on the rules to what she can do in your body, and all is well for a time. But then the secret of your "body switch" threatens to break loose and you learn a shocking secret about the girl.

How will you two switch back? Will the girl even let you switch back? How do you know who to trust?

Characters

You

Age: 15

-The most recent owner of the music box and due to certain circumstances, you get trapped in it.

-The daughter of two die-hard antique collecters, so their habits have rubbed off onto you a little.

-An optimist and you bring smiles to all those around you with your kind personality, but you also have a scary side that no one knows about since it takes a lot for you to get angry.

 

Changjo

Age: 15

-A kid from your class

-Surprisingly mature for his age...especially compared to all the y guys in your school.

-All in all a mostly average kid with a talent for dancing even though he doesn't show it to anyone. He is the kid in your class that doesn't talk much and most people just kind of ignore him. Which is just fine with him because it means that no one bugs him.

 

Minhee

Age: 7 (she'd actually probably be dead by now even if she hadn't died at age seven)

-The mysterious spirit that was trapped in the box.

-Wavy, dark hair that goes down to her knees; a small round face that still has its baby fat; soft, flawless skin (she's a ghost, after all); and a gentle complexion. All in all, just an innocent child that died too soon.

-She has missed out on a lot of the world's developments (technology, fashion, food, etc.) since she died, but she has been able to peek at the lives of the various owners of the music box, so she knows a bit about what's going on. That way she won't be in awe over all the changes (For the most part, anyway. Of course she won't know how to use certain items or the dangers of them).

-After certain agreements, she has taken control of your body, so she will of course be taking on your appearance.

 

Dongsun

Age: 16

-Your older brother! He is only a year older than you, but is much more mature than his age when it comes to you.

-Short black hair that he doesn't mess with much because he's not one that cares a lot about his apearance. http://hairstylesarea.com/hair-pic/HLIC/b7c3557c1cc2673c7f299fc38f245e40.jpg Let's just say he looks more or less like that guy lol. Except of course he's gonna look a bit younger.

-He cares about you a lot and is the one that takes care of you since your parents are rarely home. He is very responsible, but also loves to laugh and have fun, so no one is ever bored when with him. Could be considered the "life of the party", but he is very modest and therefore doesn't like when people refer to him that way.

-He is the person that is closest to you (More so than Minah, even though she doesn't like to admit it).

 

Minah

Age: 15

-Your very best friend :) She actually used to be in a gang, but that changed when she met you because of your bright and friendly personality.

-After you had befriended her, she became attached to you (but not in the annoying way) and she is very protective of you. She has a bad temper, but does her best to keep it in check around you. Instead, she uses the energy from her temper to fuel her energetic personality.

-Chin-length, layered hair that has been dyed a bright red with black streaks. Large dark brown eyes that almost look black (but not the innocent-looking "large"). An oval face that has a scar from the far middle-left of her forehead down to just below the corner of her eye (from her delinquent past).
