history
| Childhood | Teenage Years | Adulthood |
Being born into the highly matriarchal system of the undersea had benefits and losses for Jin-Hwa. While she was one of the queen’s daughters, she was just that: only one of the queen’s daughters. She was not the strongest or the most powerful. While no one was supposed to know who fathered which of the queen’s children, Jin-Hwa has always been fairly sure of who her father was: the head librarian. They have a complicated relationship. While they have the same eyes, the same bone structure, and quite probably the same blood, neither one can admit it. Before she was forced to learn civility, Jin-Hwa was a vicious child who watched everything with too wide eyes. Sometimes those tendencies come back. The undersea fae are quite sophisticated, but their animal characteristics show themselves in more ways than one. Jin-Hwa’s father taught her how to play a variety of strategy games, her mother taught her poise, and her sisters taught her how to fight. Jin- Hwa doesn’t know who she is apart from her family, and that terrifies her more than it is a comfort. | Jin-Hwa attended the Institute of Pearls in the sunken city. This was the undersea’s finest school, but she learned more at the palace. She learned how to watch everything but hide it better. She learned that civility and kindness were almost never the same thing. She visited her father more, to the disdain of her sisters. In the undersea, brutality is valued over knowledge, and Jin-Hwa is not different. But she understands the weight of words, and can cut with them just as sharply as with any blade. She trained in the arts of sword fighting and magics, largely. Archery is useless under the waves. But the real danger lies in her ambition. If there was anything she couldn’t do, she didn’t stop until she could do it. She drove herself to the brink of exhaustion and beyond. Jin-Hwa is many things, but easily stopped is not one of them. | N/A |
personality
Jin-Hwa is brilliant, ruthless, and driven. She is ambitious to a fault. Cold-bloodedness is her birthright, and she knows it. Nothing will stop her from getting what she wants. She is an awful enemy to have and a hard friend to win. However, once she is won over, her loyalty is matched only by her determination to be the best.
special situations
This is the place to let us know about any special abilities or disabilities your character has that might affect either their time at school/work or their time on site overall. Also, if your character is a prodigy in a certain area, please put the area here and explain the ways that this is necessary to develop their character.
Jin-Hwa is a prodigy in the areas of combat and glamours. While she cannot yet do the siren song magic, it is a skill she is working on. These skills demonstrate that while cold-bloodedness is her birthright, little else is. She knows she is owed nothing, but she is determined to earn it all anyway.
learned skills
Learned Skills. If your character has graduated school, then fill out the value for the skill corresponding the school they would have graduated from. (I.E. Herbology for the Herbalist School)
