—personality description:
◦ jiu is awkward, to put it simply. while she may have a pretty face that would often lead people to think she is flowing with bubbly energy, she is the exact opposite. she's very introverted and doesn't really stick out in a crowd, and often times has trouble speaking up for herself and others. social interaction is definitely one of her weak points, for when she tries to talk she either ends up stuttering or going "i'm gay" when people ask her how she is (she wanted to respond with great and okay, and well– that happened). she doesn't really understand other people's emotions very well, and if someone is crying her idea of comforting is giving them a stiff pat and saying "there there." off stage she is a pretty big klutz, often stepping on strangers toes, or accidentally bumping into someone. she always somehow manages to find herself in a horrible situation, whether it be her own fault or one of the band mates' fault, causing her to have to fix the situation due to her position as leader (which doesn't always turn out well, once vanilla hit an old lady bc she thought it was chai and jiu tried to apologize for vanilla, but only got cursed out by the old lady and told to go "learn to speak properly, you heathen." let's just say vanilla laughed and called jiu a heathen for a month straight).
◦ jiu is also pretty dense. while she is incredibly book smart, a lot of things tend to fly over her head, especially when they are directed at her. she tends to act like an old lady a lot, not one to understand the latest trends and slang (no joke she spent five hours trying to find out what a dab was. vanilla bullied her for that). due to her being a complete blonde half of the time, she makes for an easy target, becoming the center of the group's teasing.
◦ despite being the world's biggest introvert that doesn't like confrontation, if the right person comes along and pisses her off (dom) she can become very bitter and has a quick tongue, something that surprises the other members. this, however, doesn't mean she still doesn't get flustered when dealing with someone who pissed her off, especially if it's someone who is naturally quick-witted. it backed into a figurative (or literal) corner by said type of person, she will become very flustered, turning back to her usual, awkward self.
◦ despite not really understanding people's feelings, being a horrible talker, and the least graceful person in the universe both physically and verbally, she still tries her very best to be a good leader for the group. she puts them before herself and will try to take punishment if it means the rest get a lighter sentence. her flawless aegyo onstage reigns high above her forced aegyo off-stage, for she tries to be cute to fit into the group's concept, but only causes the rest of the group to receive a cringe attack. she's tries to fix her weaknesses as a leader constantly, being one who is always up for self-reflection. she puts all of herself into performing and trying to be the best leader, doing so because she can't really put herself into understanding the other members' emotions, or even her own for that matter. and even though it seems that her entire being isn't enough to perfectly lead the group, she is thankful for the help of chai who always allows her to have a level head and not freak out every time she is supposed to speak for the group.


—birthplace: jeju, south korea
—hometown: jeju, south korea

—background:
◦ she grew up with her father not being around often, him constantly away for work. that doesn't mean that he was a bad father, in fact he was a great one. jiu's love for her father runs deep, and despite him being away often she managed to create a deep bond with him. this bond caused her to pick up many traits from him, them mostly being his awkward and cringy, try hard personality.
◦ jiu fell in love with music because of her brother. he learned how to play the guitar at a young age and she would always sit and listen to him. at 7 years old, he taught her how to play the instrument. her love for the guitar was instant, and she would lug her brother's huge guitar everywhere, leading her to fall over because it was so big sometimes. as she grew she still continued to love music. her brother would often take her to the closest plaza, where a young man would often sit and sing. joy & her brother jiho would spend hours sitting there, listening to the young boy play his instrument. she was always jealous of the guy, seeing how passionate he was about playing, and wanted to be that passionate one day. as she grew into a young lady, her love for music continued to stay. she had no vocal training, and yet she had one of the most beautiful voices her family had ever heard. she was naturally gifted. her father encouraged her love for music while her mother despised it, claiming that she needed to focus on school because it would ensure her a proper job, not her old guitar and her voice.
◦ when she told her dad she wanted to pursue a singing career, he encouraged it, telling her to go for her dreams. her mother didn't want her to though, but jiu already having a rocky relationship with her disapproving mother went against her word, and with her brother & father's help she flew to seoul to audition at a company. thankfully her dad had a small apartment there for work, so she was able to stay with him for the time being. the first company rejected her, but jiu was determined. she wanted to show her mom that she could achieve her dream and be financially stable, so she went to korea's got talent where she was scouted for plan a. she immediately signed, and soon debuted.

—note to the author: rip shin & hello nova. i added a few things to her likes, dislikes, trivia, etc. i also changed her stage name to nova and gave her a new faceclaim. i just really love dawon, but if you would rather have zuny then i'm okay too, i just like dawon bc she looks approachable and that's how i imagine jiu, one who seems approachable but is really the worst person to approach.

—anything else? not that i can think of
