+Background:  She was born to a single mother as a result of a one-night stand. Her mother didn’t really want her, but decided against adoption and decided to raise her. When she was 3 years old, she was put in foster care due to abuse. She was in a loving family that nurtured her adventurous and curious nature. At the age of 5, she returned in the care of her mother who got with her “step-father” and had another little girl, Lexi. For about a year, they were like a happy little family, but when she turned 7, she became a victim of physical and mental abuse from her step-father alongside with Lexi. She became very protective of her little sister and took the “beatings” for her. When she was 9, she started self-mutilation secretly and began battling depression. She eventually found her love for dance and music during the summer when she stayed with her Grandfather. When she was 16, her grandfather passed away and she withdrew from everything but her sister.  During her senior year of high school, she attempted suicide where Lexi found her. After her stay in the hospital, she moved out into a small apartment and began the process of trying to gain custody of Lexi. When Lexi turned 18, they both moved to Seoul, South Korea for a scholarship at Yonsei University.

+Personality: a bit of a contradiction. While she is very shy and timid when you first meet her, she is very outgoing and talkative when you get to know her. She has a big heart and tries to take care of everyone, but sometimes neglects herself. She loves adventures and is naturally curious about everything. She does have a mean, stubborn-streak that flares up time to time, especially when she is told that she cannot do something (not law/rule wise). Since she has been the oldest of her friends outside of the idol world, she is very nurturing and motherly towards others. Not many people realize this, but she is a very withdrawn person and has a hard time trusting others.

+Fun Facts:
-	Loves climbing, but is terrified of heights
-	She has a bad habit of laughing/smiling when nervous or embarrassed and biting her lip when she’s concentrating on something
-	A big music lover; she cannot leave home without her iPod
-	She has been compared to a sponge when learning new things because it comes easy to her.
-	She has a strong southern/country accent that comes out time to time
