NAME: Choi NaMu

NICKNAMES: her little sister calls her “Mumu”, being able only to pronounce the last part of her name when she learnt to talk. Her close friends call her “Evangelion” because she watched the whole anime series in just two days, not even sleeping, because she was too caught up in the characters’ psychology to turn the tv off. Her best friend calls her Kaneki because of a couple cosplay they took to an exhibition (her friend being Touka). She would honestly just be called Mr.Rogers, but nobody calls her that.

»WE'LL BE WARM NO MATTER WHERE HER PLACE IS«

PERSONALITY: If you could spot the San Diego Comicon, then there you would surely found her. NaMu is the definition of “multifandom piece of trash” and for “multy”, she almost means “every”. Loves both Japanese and American comic and games culture and would rather spend hours watching anime than going outside. She seems very silent and introvert, but she’s just caught up in her world, probably thinking about what fandom write a fan fiction on. On the internet, she will be the friendliest person ever, like, if you pm her be sure you’re going to start a whole lot of conversation about anything nerdy-related. She’s also funny and has a good sense of humor, but unfortunately most of her puns are fandom related and people rarely get them. Apart from the internet, and when you’re lucky enough to catch her in a down-to-earth moment, she would be as lively and friendly as just any outgoing person would be. Despite this, she rarely goes out because she will be surely caught up in a game session with her friends on Overwatch or LOL. She happens to enjoy parties, but only if she didn’t plan a session with her squad. Anyway, NaMu is a nice person and has even a pretty calm and soothing voice and she knows how to use it. She believes she’s somehow gifted, but also damned to eternal unrecognition. Her fan fictions are very well written and with interesting plots, but the maximum of hits she had on the most “popular” of them, is 145 on AO3. She and her best friend started a singing duo, but the views are embarrassingly short, even if their voices are good. For this, she often feels neglected and tends to be discouraged and leave things halfway undone. She excels with ideas and creativity, but has a mortal lack of perseverance, preferring to just leave than insist on being recognized. Except for games. She’s a though piece of anger and knows no mercy. Maybe to compensate all the frustration she gets by being practically unknown by almost everybody?


BACKGROUND: NaMu had a pretty nice and quiet childhood. She happened to receive her first manga when she was 7 and she was so fascinated by the cleanness of the drawings and the beauty of the plot that she wanted to know more and more of that culture. Noticing her interest in comics, her father handed her his own collection of Captain America comics, and she grew crazy. She has been raised with milk and comic culture and her childhood dream was being married to Steve Rogers (she still wants it, though). Then, when she was a teenager, her best friend introduced her to the world of Final Fantasy and you could have spotted NaMu being sat on the pavement for hours, entangled so much in the game not to hear her mother yelling at her for not having done her homework yet or not even taking a shower in two days. Video games and comics have always been an important part of her life and somehow she believes they also forged her character. Her parents had to be used to her way of confronting reality from behind the screen and controller pad, and eventually would. Her father even bought her the latest video games for Christmas or when she got As in tests. Knowing that she would get a new game by hitting a high score of grades, NaMu doubled the efforts in school and actually had a pretty good average of As and very few Bs. And that’s how she grew up, adding music and movies to the mix, believing in her dream of being the first nerd celebrity ever. Someone that could have told her fans “please, write fanfics about me, I ship myself with Steve Rogers”.

FAMILY:
☆ Ahn EuNa, her mother, a woman of 40 years old. She works as an English teacher in a high school of Jeju. Despite their rough times when NaMu was a teenager who wanted to dress only in black and have almost five piercings on her face, they are now good friends, apart from already being mother and daughter. Like, a full 4 on a scale of 1 to 5.
☆ Choi HanSol, her father, a man of 41 years old. He works as a police man in the department of Jeju. He is the main reason why NaMu is such a comics trash and he is somehow proud of that. He always wanted a son, but only got two girls. Luckily, the elder of them could understand the beauty of comics and games. They have always had a good relationship, another 4 on 5.
☆ Choi YoonAh, her little sister of 7 years, currently attending elementary school. She loves her big sis, and also wants to be “as pretty and as good with video games” as her. She always manages to stick next to her, or falls asleep on her lap when she is having a gaming session. She loves when her sister sings her to sleep and would want her to be happy. They are very, very close, a 5/5.

»INSTEAD OF HUMBLE, AT THE END WE'LL BE PROSPEROUS«

LOVE INTEREST: Park ChanYeol
BACKUP: WonHo

HIS PERSONALITY: The usual happy and cheerful puppy who just runs around pointing things and blinding people with his smile. A very humble and outgoing person, could befriend even walls and rocks. Never loses hope, he’s a true mood maker. May look like a player, but he honestly just doesn’t know how to make a girl think that he actually likes her and he’s not looking for a best friend. He lives for music, he’s always humming a melody or a song, sometimes even snapping his fingers following the rhythm. Has an addiction to Instagram and Snapchat, he just needs to picture everything he thinks it’s worth to be seen.

HOW HE ACTS AROUND YOU: He would surely think that she’s very cute, but a bit too silent for him. Then, he would listen to her Imperial March ringtone and his eyes would just enlighten. Because he would be asking her if she loves Star Wars and the two of them would just be incapable of stop talking and discover they have a lot in common. After that, he would be very happy to be teaming with her and would also starting to feel the need to befriend her and know her better. Just when their relationship happens to shift from “partners” to “actual friends”, he would notice that he just cares a bit too much for her, and that his feelings are not only friendly, anymore. He would now act a bit awkwardly around her, he would trip over things and occasionally stutter while talking, blushing if she would catch him already staring at her. This would go on until she would grow tired of this situation and would ask him what was wrong. He would end up by confessing in the middle of the episode, in front of the thousands of viewers, leaving her dumbfounded (because she has been so dense she didn’t notice a thing). Off camera, she would take her time to reflect and give him a chance to date her. Because, at the end of the day, she would notice that her feelings are mutual.

HOW YOU ACT AROUND HIM: She would be flashed by his bright smiles and impetuous happiness, wondering if he’s even high on a sugar rush. He feels high like her best friend and so she wouldn’t talk to him that much at first, intimidated by his unconditional cheerfulness. Then, her ringtone would go on out of nowhere and he would notice it, asking her if she likes Star Wars and they will be going on a full chat on nerdy things. She would just appreciate him more, after that, and would even start talking to him more. They would be great partners, with a very good chemistry on and off screen.  She would anyway notice that talking to him is more pleasant that she would admit and that having him around makes he feel good and safe. She would start asking herself why she is starting to see things this way while he would be acting a bit strange. He would trip mover over things on the floor, be a bit awkward or even stutter when talking, or blushing if she would catch him looking at her. She would think that it’s just her imagination and would go on, until the point where she would want the old ChanYeol back. She would confront him and he would confess live, in the middle of the episode, while they’re having a challenge. Leaving her dumbfounded and almost shocked (but pleased). She will take time to think about it, just to find out she already likes him back and accepting to go out on a date with him, when the show ends.

COUPLE TRIVIA:
☆ They be making nerdy related puns and laughing at each other’s replies like no tomorrow.
☆ Him taking a lot of selcas with her and she being grumpy or laughing in every picture.
☆ She falling asleep on his shoulder and him smiling and hugging her, resting his cheek on her head.
☆ He always taking her by the hand or her tugging him by the sleeve.
☆ Cute comments by the other contestants on how tall he is and how small she is.
☆ He carrying her on his back when she’s too tired to even protest.
☆ They watching Cap America videos on youtube, sharing earphones.
☆ She being very afraid of thunders and asking him to sleep with her (innocently, of course).
☆ Him singing songs with his guitar and she being secretly recording him with her phone to listen to it again later.
☆ They comparing hands’ size and him laughing because her fingers are so small and tiny comparing to his.
☆ Him be calling her “tsundere” and she being salty about it.
☆ Hugs and skinship and forehead kisses.
☆ They be sharing a bowl of ramen together and him leaving her most of it without being obvious.


STATUS AT THE END OF THE BOOK: They would be dating (although they may or may not have already kissed a couple of times, in the book).

»WE'LL BE IN FULL BLOOM AT THE END OF THESE HARDSHIPS«

SLOTS YOU WANT TO BE CLOSE TO/ARE ALREAY CLOSE TO: Already close to “The Sugar Rush One”, but would happily be friends with “The Dedicated One”

HOW DO YOU DEAL UNDER STRESS?: Being apparently calm, while internally screaming multiple times and shaking people by their shoulders. She would also be particularly quick to figure out the way out of the stressful situation (years of gaming finally paying back).

HOW WOULD YOU REACT IF SOMEONE ELSE LOST THEIR BAG?: Would probably force ChanYeol to stop and help him or her, because she would think that, in his or her position, she would’ve liked someone to help her. But this would mean that they would probably lose a lot of time and that they will be struggling to end the challenge quickly.

HOW WOULD YOU REACT IF YOU LOST YOUR BAG?: At first panic. Then, recalling all the places where she would have possibly left it. Anyway, it wouldn’t be the first time of her losing her bag, so she learnt to keep everything valuable in her pockets (phone, money and documents).

DO YOU LIKE AIRPLANES: Yes when they are already flying and giving people the amazing view of how little countries would seem, but no when they land or leave.

WHAT ARE YOUR MUST-HAVE ITEMS WHEN TRAVELING:
☆ Antihistaminic
☆ Painkillers
☆ Band aids
☆ Comfortable shoes
☆ Phone’s powerbank/charger
☆ Paypal


DO YOU HAVE ANY STRUGGLES SUCH AS DECEASES, ALLERGIES OR SOMETHING OF THE SORT?: A deep fear of insects. All of them. Except for ladybugs. They’re cute and harmless.

HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH NEW PEOPLE?: Would surely try to talk in English and always be kind (rudeness never helps). Then, would try to make them feel welcomed and ask something about their culture.

DO YOU GET SCARED EASILY?: Not much (unless it’s insects)

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FEARS: Forgetting the phone somewhere or being left alone at night in a forest. Being alone in old, eerie places or hearing strange noises during the night. Thunders scares the life out of her, letting alone going out during a storm.
