Personality: She's the type of person you'll hate at first glance. She comes off as snobbish to some people for she's not one to approach people first to make friends. People think she's cold and full of herself for she won't compliment someone unless there is something to compliment about. She'd rather be honest and have you hate her rather than be a -up and have you like her. She loves the company of her friends but she prefers working alone. Although, she is one of the laziest people you'll ever meet; the type of person who're naturally gifted and excels without trying so hard. Sleeping is one of her favorite pass times and she's not afraid to entertain herself, even in class. She does hate competition. No matter what you do, she won't compete with you if she doesn't think it's worth it, or if you truly deserve it. But she definitely won't back down once she's involved. Not everyone can put up with her stubbornness too. She won't follow you if she doesn't understand the reason behind it. Her OCD will drive you crazy. She's capable of nagging and she's not afraid to use it. What's annoying is that when it comes to her things, all hell broke loose.

All that contribute to her child-like personality. She's easily amused and excited by a lot of things and has the attention span of a 10-year-old. She'll laugh at the corniest and cheesiest jokes ever told, and still pertains to glitter as shining shimmering splendid. Also, she never fails to lend a helping hand to anyone, even to a complete stranger and would do everything in her power to follow-through. Skin skip FTW! You'll get her a restriction order but that still won't get her to stop. But she's no ert. It's just that she's not that good with words and believes that actions do weigh heavier. If she does find you admirable, she won't hesitate to tell you that she idolizes you and to fan-girl openly about it. She's very open about her happy crushes too. She's a good listener, but she's a better adviser. That's why people go to her if they have a problem or just wanted to share. She may be quiet most of the time but when she talks, you'll definitely listen.

Family history:  Her Korean dad, afraid of a lifelong commitment, left when she was still in her mom's womb. Her moved back to the Philippines, and raised her child with her family. She met a man who're willing to take care of her and her baby and got married. They worked together to achieve their dreams and support Raya in hers. Raya was happy with her family but she is half Korean, and she's determined to get in touch with that side of her.
