sometimes dawon would wonder why she didnβt think about things a whole lot. once she read it was more of a thing men would do rather than women, just kind of not bringing things up or asking for further information, even though there are obvious opportunities to get more out of something. and this was kind of a situation like that. it had been a year or two since she had started watching the channel βinnalterableβ on hypehens. the woman she would watch painting, speaking about art utensils she had no clue about and just do whatever, had mesmerized dawon from the start. inna was beautiful, breathtaking, interesting and intelligent ββ at least to dawon. and she had absolutely no idea or interest in art at all. what had started out as a hobby, something she would do every evening just to wind down from the day had quickly turned into a slight obsession.Β
not that she had ever left a comment or tried to interact with inna, nor had she really talked to anyone about her being a fan, it was just sort of her me-time, me-thing. maybe that was the reason why she had never even imagined meeting the woman at the company ββ even though, technically, they were coworkers. how it didnβt cross her mind even once? she didnβt know. she just knew that she wanted to get a refill of coffee in the company kitchen, and suddenly she felt her empty cup slip out of her hands at a familiar, yet strange sight: inna. right there. the sound of ceramic shattering brought her out of her dazed state, in which she had been for a good few seconds, just staring at the ethereal woman right in front of her.
she scrambled as she kneeled down, mumbling some profanities to herself, hands reaching to collect the few shards that once formed a mug. her head felt hot, she could feel herself starting to sweat as she stood back up straight, shards in her hands.Β βiβ iβm s-sorryββ, she stuttered out (god damn it, she never stuttered), eyes fixated on the remainders of the cup in her hands, not daring to lift her head because of the sheer embarrassment.Β
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β OUT OF ALL THE DAYS INNA COULDβVE FELT UNINSPIRED, it was precisely the day she was supposed to film her next video that she felt it the most. she had arrived earlier that day with a coffee from her favorite shop in one hand and a subscription box in the other. as neat as ever, inna had carefully listed down the activities she had to do for this projectβs completion. the first and second task, unboxing and discovering the new supplies she had to make an artwork with as well as swatching them on camera, had already been done hours ago. itβs the third task whatβs responsible behind her ever growing frustration. sketching.
inna had been trying for hours to create a new character, but the supplies that came in the box had her least favorite color palette Β (yellows, muddy greens and browns and, for some reason, a neon blue). truth be told, she absolutely hated this monthβs box and a part of her regretted spending money on it, but still, she had to make do with it for she had already gotten several questions from her community inquiring about this particular video. after she crumpled the fifth piece of paper and tossed it aside, inna knew she needed a break.
thus, she decided to grab some snacks from the companyβs kitchen hoping the little breather would help her relax. upon noticing that someone else was there, apparently getting either coffee or tea, inna greeted the other woman with a small βhiβ before going to the fridge. the sudden shattering noise has her jumping in her place and her immediate reaction was to look at the source. βwait, be careful.β inna says, not realizing for a second that she had been the cause behind it, before she picks up the bin and takes it to where the mug had broken. βwait, wait, wait.β with a bit of panic in her words, inna frowns when seeing her carelessly taking the broken pieces in her hands. βyou might cut yourselfβ warning is clear in her voice as well as a bit of reprimanding before she places the trash bin on the ground and, with a lot of care, tosses each piece on it. βare you okay?β inna asks, genuinely concerned and prompting the other to look up, assuming the womanβs demeanour was embarrassment because of the broken mug. βyou donβt have to worry about itβ¦ iβm pretty sure itβs happened before and, if anybody asks, weβll tell them it was the editor.β
to be honest, the main reason why she had reached out to inna is that she is pretty. who does not want to be in the company of pretty people, after all? despite being in two different networks, ryu had taken notice of inna and that fact alone is impressive as she usually did not care or remember about anyone outside of fellow vloggers. she had stumbled upon innaβs channel while she was trying to find something to watch or to listen to while she had her bath, mindlessly clicking through recommendations and channel until she landed on innaβs pretty little face. she does not have any interest in art nor is she truly paying attention to what inna was saying but the length of her videos accompanied by her voice has made a great companion as the background noise while she went about doing things
the thought came to her in the middle of her bath: what if they collaborated? surely, the internet would enjoy seeing two beauties together, despite the differences in contents and personalities. so she was quick to reach out to inna, beyond delighted when the offer was accepted. one, for the views and new viewers and two, she gets to be with a beautiful girl. what could be better?
ryu had greeted her at the door, wearing only a robe as she dismisses the youngerβs worry with a wave of her hand as she lets her in. she gives a small tour around her apartment before leading her into her bedroom where everything was set up and ready. the look on innaβs has her chuckling as ryu pins her fringe away from her face. βperfection is not attained, darling. it is made every single day.β she too would like to be able to say that she wakes up each day as gorgeous as she is, but alas, ryu is human too and like everyone else, uses makeup to help her bring out her beauty.Β βdo not let the sheer amount of makeup scare you and intimidate. just do what you always do but with makeup this time around. makeup is not that different from painting you know. the only thing is that with makeup, you can wipe off your mistakes. except, try to _not _make too many mistakes, yes? having to prep the skin again for makeup is a pain as it is to do it once, what more twice.β was that a thinly veiled threat to not mess up? maybe. no pretty face is going to be able to get away with mistakes under her watch. the only one allowed to do is herself, of course.Β Β
flashing the other a bright smile, she picks up her phone to find the painting she wishes for inna to recreate with makeup, leaning back against the chair as she gestures for inna to take a look at the makeup with her free hand. βanyways, take as long as you need to familiarise yourself with the makeup, sweetheart. whenever you are ready, we can start.β
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β INNA REALLY DIDNβT HAVE TO THINK TWICE when she decided to accept ryuβs proposal, after all, the main essence of the whole collaboration was quite up her alley, itβs the medium they were using what pushed her out of her comfort zone and that was always welcomed. it isnβt new for the young artist to pick materials sheβs never worked with out of sheer curiosity to see how far and how much her hands can do with them. most of the time the results are not quite what she initially expected but, nonetheless, she had to admit eighty percent of the times, they looked really good. so, when the other woman brought up the idea of recreating an art piece with make up, inna only took so much as a couple of minutes to say yes.Β
inna was careful, thoughtful and wanted to achieve the best result possible, so it wasnβt anything surprising that she conducted an exhaustive research on her own about makeup. inna watched hours and hours of all kinds of tutorials, get ready with meβs and more content of the kind simply because she didnβt want to feel blank when the big day arrived.
which really didnβt work that well because inna was exactly feeling that when staring at all the things ryu won owned. βcan definitely agree to that.β she responds almost instinctively, being completely aware that perfection isnβt something that simply gets to you, you strive for it. she's momentarily pulled out of her thoughts by the other womanβs following statement, immediately catching the threat underlying in her words and it only makes her even more nervous, though, she tries to not show it too much by covering it with a nod and a smile. βiβve done my partβ inna states, meeting ryuβs eyes with feigned confidence. βeven if i make some mistakes, iβll be able to fix every layer i ruin.βΒ
her little act has yet to be believable to herself, and before she even dares to maintain contact for longer than a couple of seconds, inna glances at the otherβs phone for the art piece sheβs supposed to recreate. the artist is pleasantly surprised by the displayed painting and a moment later she takes her own phone out to show ryu her lockscreen: it was the same artwork only modified to look red in the areas turquoise was supposed to be in. βhow did you know it was one of my favorite paintings?β her words are lighthearted this time, albeit playful as well. after that, inna decided to grab the palettes that had the most matching colours to the well-known van goghβs painting: almond blossoms, and she decided to swatch and do some testings on her own skin until finding the best products to use, at the same time getting acquainted with the brushes and sponges.
itβs when her arm has a small branch with a couple of flowers in it, looking almost exactly like the paintingβs, that she feels confident enough to start doing the real thing. βiβm readyβ inna says after what felt like hours, her selected tools, palettes and all she needed in front of her. βthough, do you mind if i work outside the lines?β
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β IT WAS A NERVE WRACKING EXPERIENCE every time inna agreed to collaborate with any content creator. not that she didnβt like doing collaborations, in fact, she actually quite loved them, but it was the very first meeting that made her feel a bit nervous, scared of saying the wrong things and causing a bad first impression. that day, inna had arrived as punctual as ever (10 minutes early in fact) and waited for the clock to hit the appointed time before knocking on the door. a couple of seconds later, none other than ryu won appears in front of her and she greets her with a small bow and a smile. βhey, there. hope i'm not too late.β she says, not knowing what else to say to break the ice.
a couple of weeks ago, inna had gotten a text from her, better known as ryueality, casually greeting her. the notification made inna squint at her phone, and she had to double check if the account was really hers. upon confirming that it was her indeed, inna replied and thus a conversation full of mutual compliments and a couple of confessions about not being die hard fans of each other started. itβs some hours later and after what seemed like an endless hoard of messages that ryu suggested to make a collaboration as well as pitching some ideas of the content they could make if she agreed.
thatβs how inna ended up sitting beside ryu won in her beautiful bedroom with several kinds of makeup perfectly laid out before her as well as some brushes sheβs never seen before. a professional looking set up before them with at least two cameras and a couple of lamps that provided a really nice lighting. inna only marvelled over that for a couple of seconds before her attention returned to the impressive amount of makeup. βdonβt get me wrong, i know a bit of this, but i wouldβve never guessed you need like five layers before putting the actual color on. holy shit.β

hello everyone! iβm glad to introduce you to my daughter inna / danna! sheβs a bit of a mess that only wants to spend the whole day in her home painting if possible. you can find her basics here, personality here, background here. if you're interested in plotting, you can find me in discord at internebula#6982!
without furher ado, hereβs more about her:Β
basic information
β full name: kwang inna
β nickname: nana
β age: twenty two
β date of birth: february 11th, 1998
β birthplace: los angeles, california.
β current location: seoul, south korea
β ethnicity: asian
β nationality: (dual nationality) korean-american
β gender: cisfemale
β pronouns: she/her
β orientation: bisexual, demiromantic.
β religion: atheist
β occupation: content creator, freelance artist
β language(s) spoken: korean (fluent), english (fluent)
β born and raised in los angeles, her parents moved to usa right after they got married in their mid twenties only because of the feeling of adventure. they both got stable jobs there and even though her mom was the one that struggled the most with the different language, with the help of her husband she was able to improve steadily.
β ever since she was young, inna has showcased exceptional skills when it came to drawing and painting (if you consider the crayon scattered all over the walls of their apartment back in los angeles as art). always restless, she got easily bored with the common toys and games, only truly finding joy in the coloring books her parents always got her instead of dolls and an easy bake oven.
β she has always been heavily spoiled by every member of their family and inna grew used to this. it was no surprise that she always got what she wanted with a simple smile and her trademark grabby hands (she still does this till now and itβs absolutely gross). the one that spoiled her the most was her brother.
β inna holds dear every member of her family and despite being the ultimate spoiled princess, she always offered help around the house when she became older and realized that everyone had to do something for their household. she hated washing dishes though and always traded that task with her brother to the point that it became a natural thing for him to wash them and for her to mop and take the trash out. to this day, she will avoid washing dishes at any cost and her apartment often has a pile of dirty dishes which only makes it worse when she runs out of clean ones.
β the divorce of her parents hit her hard (spoiler alert: her father was awful when no one was seeing and cheated a lot on her mom, which she forgave every damn time until he crossed the line and brought another girl to their place) mainly because she didnβt understand what was happening at the moment and no one took their time to explain it to her. it was difficult to deal with her behaviour back then, she threw really loud tantrums and demanded to see her father almost daily and, whenever this didnβt happen, sheβd go on a silent protest by not doing anything they asked her to. itβs years later that she understands everything (thanks to an argument she had with her brother for defending her dad and he just exploded). this, of course, greatly disappointed her and made her feel bad for still standing by her dadβs side.
β after that, inna just like her brother, closed a little to their father even though he was still as kind, loving and caring as ever with them despite everything. his attitude made her doubt her mother and brother several times, but then came the first girlfriend he ever introduced to them, and then the secondβ¦ and so on.
β it was obvious that her mother drastically changed after the divorce and this scared inna a lot: letting someone in and become vulnerable with them only to have your heart broken sounded absolutely painful. and she didnβt want that. plus, her momβs constant reminders of how she canβt trust anyone that its not her or her brother stayed deeply engraved within her.
β sheβs never had a stable relationship, if anything, the longer sheβs βgone outβ with someone is a couple of weeks and after that, she ghosted them with no remorse. inna has had crushes in the past, but rarely ever actively pursues someone unless sheβs really curious or interested to know more about them. nonetheless, she's a bit of a flirt and tends to get clingy and touchy when she's comfortable/close enough with someone.
β school is difficult in every stage for her, always getting rather mediocre grades in most of her classes except those that required a more creative and practical approach. simply put: she was bad at theoric classes and anything related to math and physics. though, inna was always close to failing but never did so. this was just one of the many reasons she didnβt want to pursue a college education.
β the creation of her channel is all thanks to her brother, her self-proclaimed number one fan and the one person thatβs always encouraged her to keep going with her art. he suggested the idea and told her that they could do a testing video to see how comfortable she felt with it before uploading it. turns out, inna was more than okay with the camera for it focused on her hands and process the whole time. voice over was not necessary back then but as her channel evolved, so did the quality and content of her videos. steadily, she introduced different aspects of herself, starting with her voice by doing easy-to-follow tutorials and later on, her face was revealed when doing an art haul video. this helped her become more comfortable with the camera and now, every couple of weeks she posts vlogs of her visits to museums or events or just updates for her community.
β despite her popularity and some people even recognising her on the streets, inna has never considered herself to be a celebrity. in fact, she feels awkward with the title for she considers her channel to be just another one. she appreciates though whenever her prints get sold out or when someone asks for her autograph and a photo or even when she is invited to events as a special guest.
β the kind to get really excited when talking about things she likes. donβt get her started on her favorite medium or her favorite painting because she might go on for twenty seven minutes straight about how watercolors are the superior medium to work with.
β she likes experimenting with any and every medium out there, particularly enjoying art subscription boxes that always surprised her and push her out of her comfort zone. her specialization is landscapes and character design, though sheβs recently learning to draw more animals and plants.
