ー face claim ; Lee Sung Kyung

ー height ; 174 cm

ー background ;

She grew up in Busan with half her family living in Jeju and half living in Osaka. She had to travel a lot to meet up with her family and learned to value her relatives. Because her grandfather on her mother's side is Dutch and really tall she got a rather tall height as well which made her very insecure and rather on the background for a while. But after a while she learned to love her height and accept herself.
As the oldest of three children she had a rather hard time because it was a first for her parents and she herself didn't know how to handle the pressure either. Luckily everything ended well and she and her parents found a balance.
In school she had a lot of friends with a few really close ones and even after becoming famous they often go out to drink some coffee and talk.

ー personality ;

She hates to make people angry so she simply tries to stay on their good side. She knows how it feels to be insecure about small things so she makes sure to compliment everyone she crosses that day. She has rather serious mood swings so gets angry easily but to calm herself she lays down for a while and sometimes asks someone to sing or rap for her in order for her to calm down. She's loyal and a great friend but once you pushed her limits you should watch your steps
