✞ ◠ . haeyoon was one of those people … and by THOSE, karson meant those people who he had a hard time ever being sadistic towards . she seemed way too sweet and such for him to ever think about treating her like she was lesser or as if he could scare her into anything . and yeah, he knew he shouldn’t do that for anyone, but it was just so fun sometimes . he approaches her after practice of hers because he had been peaking in for a little while, admiring her art . ❝ how do you stay up on a horse for so long ? for sure your bottom and legs are sore . ❞
❝well, you know what they say,❞ she’s quite surprised by the sudden question, ❝if you do something long enough, it becomes second nature. but, i will admit, it was a challenge when i was younger. back then, i couldn’t even get on my horse much less stay on it for very long.❞ her voice became quieter towards the end of her breath. haeyoon looks away after a quick bow, and finds any sort of distraction — tightening up a saddle that did not require the amount of effort she was showing. ❝this is just my warm-up with zeinab. i’m usually a lot better, i swear! it’s been a while since my last practice rounds with her.❞
astrid never really got used to paris at night. there was a certain energy to the city that made every little shadow feel alive. astrid lets herself imagine a life where she stays here for a while. where she comes home to a place of her own rather than a hotel room. her reverie, however, is cut short when she reaches for her cigarettes, only to find that she has forgotten her lighter. cursing under her breath, she walks around the perimeter until she spots a figure in the dark. “hey-- you got a lighter i can use?”
❝you promised that you were going to quit, nix.❞ her voice was laden with worry and a tinge of sadness. the night had revealed all the little wonders paris had to offer for those willing to venture out, but one thing haeyoon had not accounted for was the mention of a lighter. ❝here, how about i treat you to some chocolate croissants at the pâtisserie instead?❞ haeyoon was willing to do anything for the attention to stray from the vice the other possesed. linking their arms together, she steered towards the nearest confectionery shop. ❝i’m positive it will taste a lot better than the latter, and i know how much you love chocolate.❞

━━━ tl;dr.
haeyoon comes from a middle-class family. her parents were high school sweethearts that stayed together through college, and finally married after their graduation. they spent their honeymoon in france and decided to stay after falling in love with the city. a few months passed and while visiting morocco for their anniversary, haeyoon was brought into the picture. her parents were thrilled and took it as a sign to move once again to the city of casablanca.
growing up, she was enrolled in french private schools ( think madeline but more relaxed and easy-going and not in paris ). one day, her school had a trip to l'etrier de casablancaa, a famous horseback riding academy, where she discovered her love of equestrian sports. that day, she begged her parents to enroll her in the academy and start training in all of their programs.
by the time she was a senior in high school, haeyoon had won five european championships and two world grand prix. however, she was always pushing herself for the ultimate title of olympian.
at the age of twenty-one, she was able to secure a solid lead in preliminaries representing france. haeyoon was set to win gold but it was not meant to be. on the day of the finals, her horse had sustained an injury during their routine practices and she had no choice but to forfeit her position, effectively being disqualified from the olympics the day of. to add insult to injury, she was not even announced on broadcast and was kicked out before she could even escort her horse from the stables.
the events of that day had left a deep scar on her that she was not able to move on from mentally. so much so, that it, in turn, began to affect her performance physically the following year.
however, during a local competition hosted in france, haeyoon was approached by a manager from cirque de la luna. at first, she laughed at the idea of a circus scouting out athletes to their ranks of clowns and oddities, but it wasn’t until she entered one of their auditions and witnessed the full scale of their performances that she saw the beauty of it all. what she had initially thought of as a joke and potentially a career-ending venture for someone of her background had completely shifted into an opportunity to prove her worth and show the artistry of her talents to a wider audience.
haeyoon considers the circus as a second chance to prove to the world she is the best at her craft after losing the opportunity to something out of her control. and yet, three months in she still feels as though she will never get the chance and it pains her to this day.
i got other things i have planned for her, but my two brain cells overheating lowkey. sOOOO just hmu if you want me to go more in-depth about her backstory or personality. ALSO i’m making a connections page for her soon so pls bring your beautiful muse over and give her some connections/plots 😔😔
