hello lovelies! nia over here (gmt-5, she/her) and i’m thrilled to be joining hydra with han serin — a bit of a mystery girl with a past she doesn't really talk about, and a quiet kind of intensity that makes people wonder if she hates them (she probably doesn’t… probably). she’s a second-chance trainee, and she’s not exactly here to make friends, but maybe your muse can change her mind? maybe? ♡ here you can find her board and her profile!
✧ born march 28, 2004 in daegu. she’s the only child of a former trot singer + an absent nightclub pianist. her household wasn’t exactly warm — more like a quiet survival story.
✧ debuted once (very briefly) at 17 under a small company. her fancams actually trended, but after a minor scandal that got blown way out of proportion, she was dropped without warning.
✧ disappeared for a while. spent nearly two years in japan, working as a barista and dancing underground in japan to stay sane.
✧ she joined hydra in january 2024 — no debut promise, just a shot. most people didn’t think she’d last. most people were wrong.
✧ serin is cool-toned, unbothered™ energy. she has a resting “don’t talk to me” face but an actual soft spot for anyone who shows her genuine kindness (she just doesn’t know what to do with it).
✧ very independent, always working. she treats practice rooms like second homes and iced americanos like oxygen.
✧ she’s so painfully private, but observant. the kind of girl who will quietly clock the entire room without saying a word. introvert to the max, but not shy — she just doesn’t talk unless it matters.
✧ internally? lowkey thinks she peaked at 17. struggles with imposter syndrome and doesn’t feel like she deserves another shot. outwardly? makes everyone think she’s untouchable.
✧ very INTJ-coded. emotionally restrained, hyper-logical, silently competitive. surprisingly witty once you get past the first ten walls.
✧ doesn’t do small talk but will share her umbrella if you forgot yours. not mean. just… misunderstood <3 * possible plots! ✦ “bad first impression” trope — she rubbed them the wrong way, but now they’re stuck working together.
✦ someone from the past and has very different memories of her than the “current” serin.
✦ a trainee who remembers her from her first debut — maybe you ✦ supported her back then, or maybe you believed the rumors…
✦ someone she thought was a rival but who never saw her that way, and now it’s awkward
✦ the only person who can get her to actually smile during practice
✦ a muse who’s overly cheerful and she has no idea how to deal with them (but secretly doesn’t mind their presence)
✦ a one-time hookup from her “lost years” that she didn’t expect to run into here… whoops
