🐷 Personality:


✓ Benevolent | Sagacious | Demure | Empathetic | Perceptive | Attentive | Headstrong


× Furtive | Hypocritical | Reserved | Self-seeking | Terse | Pessimistic | Artful

An ever present, but not always genuine smile; at first glance, Ae-ran may seem like a typical, shy, demure korean girl -- that is, till you sit down and talk with her, and she suddenly takes your hand in hers and tells you not to be so hard on yourself, to enjoy life to the fullest and not to stress out about meeting deadlines, and to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you -- and you think to yourself, where the heck did that come from?

Ae-ran, since young, had always been incredibly good at reading people’s body language, being able to catch even the smallest verbal and physical tics.
At first, this manifested itself in nothing more than slight confusion at just exactly why Mommy’s lips would quiver for a split second when mentioning that she wasn’t able to attend Ae-ran’s parent-teacher meeting, or why her boss’ thumb would absentmindedly fiddle with his wedding ring when talking about ‘going out for drinks with friends’; only fully understanding the meaning of these as she became older.

Part as a way to cope with her inner turmoil, almost out of a selfish desire for her own lack of emotional resolve, Ae-ran has taken to enjoying helping others as a past time; tending to gently pry into people’s business with carefully chosen words and an understanding smile, gaining self satifaction in her role in aiding their happiness.
She is also very empathetic, and often will cry alongside the person she’s trying to console.

With her understanding of human behaviour both from an experiential and academic standpoint, Ae-ran deliberates her own actions very carefully - there is always rhyme and reason to them, and a lot of her behaviour is based around a weird mix of logic and her own twisted agenda.
That being said, in scenarios where she’s caught off guard, she has a tendency to not know how to act.

In amongst all of this, Ae-ran is a hard working individual at heart, most minor tribulations being of no real worry to her, as she knows that in the end, they will come to pass. With questionable morality, she has no problems in using her femininity as a tool to gain favours with others (especially males).

Surprisingly pragmatic for someone seemingly so delicate and sensitive, Ae-ran will tackle most problems head on and with a sensibility forged through countless hard ships.

🐷 History:

Born as an unfortunate accident to a young korean mother, her father fled the country back to Taiwan as soon as he found out, afraid of bringing up a child so young, leaving the two to fend for herself.

She was very much ostracized because of her social situation - single mothers in Korea are never taken well, and this lead to her mother having constant dalliances with other men for the illusion of security.
Ae-ran ended up having to provide emotional support to her single mother and deal with verbal abuse from classmates who found out - this lead to her being incredibly private about her past, as well as a deep, yet repressed loathing for her father, and most men in general; though mostly from a romantic standpoint. And as a result, she has never been in a proper relationship before.

She was forced to grow up much faster due to her mother's negligence of Aeran's upbringing in favour for working several jobs to sustain their lifestyle, and the fact that her mother was rather fond of bringing back other men. As such, she can be a bit of a stick in the mud at times. Aeran moved out by herself at the age of 16.

From working in the service industry since she moved out, to work to help support herself, Ae-ran had been naturally more attentive and exposed to being able to read into people’s gestures; their body language, though not understanding the implications of this at such a young age.
Over time with more experience, she learned to understand people’s smallest tics -- the darting of their eyes, their brief conversational pauses when making up a lie, the tiniest way their muscles tensed up when being evasive, the gradual flush of a person’s skin when they talk about someone they have feelings for.

Her stumble upon the RFA flyer was on the way back from university one day; looking for another job to help support herself and she decided to interview for a position in PGM - stemming from her experience with dealing with people and her attention to detail.

When she graduates, she wants to become a therapist.



🐷 Other:

  • Speaks & writes both korean and taiwanese mandarin fluently, but her english is good enough to post in online forums or watch youtube videos, but not good enough to write any formal letters

  • She’s absolutely useless with technology, and doesn’t know how to use her smartphone beyond the basic messaging, calling and calendar functions. She also has no clue how to use excel, and is painfully slow at typing, both on phone and computer.

  • She leaves all the default settings on her phone/computer and thus, autocorrect is her enemy.

  • 34DD = back pain

  • 🐷
