ok so i've kind of finished minnie’s intro. i apologize because it’s still a mess and probably not that useful but at least it serves the purpose (?). it’s been a year since my last rp. i’ll still try to tidy it up a bit later on (maybe) and write a more detailed connection page too. i’ll also try to come and say hi to everyone that liked the post and reply my pending dms.
( KIM MINJI, SHE/HER ) ╱ oh looky, if it ain’t [ PARK MINJUN ] from [ 304 ]! a busy bee little [ DANCER & PART-TIME BAKERY WAITRESS ], aren’t they? still can’t believe they’re [ 25 ] this year. i heard they’re adored for being [ DEDICATED ] but their [ BRASH ] attitude can be a pain in the ass sometimes. have they not thought of moving out after [ THREE YEARS ]? oh well, as long as they like it here! ( nami, 21+, she/her, utc+1 ).
hello everyone! i was super hyped for the opening since joining but i kind of forgot it would’ve been a good idea to prepare the intro beforehand silly me :D anyway, the name is nami and i bring you the energetic park minjun, who would be much more happier if you simple call her minnie. you can check her profile here while i try to prepare a more proper intro & some connections ideas. feel free to leave a like or just shoot me a dm for some plotting ❤
minnie was born in a mid-low income family from daegu, her parents were able to make enough to sustain the family but they couldn’t afford any luxuries or special goods.
she has a brother, minseok, four years older than her, they used to have a very close relationship as kids even if they were very different from each other.
middle school and high school went pretty quickly, minnie was pretty social and, while not that much of an academic, she performed well enough to pass her grades.
she was 12 when her interest in dance started forming and 14 when it cemented. by then, thanks to her father deciding to do an extra shift, she was able to attend a dance academy.
it only lasted two years, a work accident not only severly injured her father but also forced him to leave his job and, while the family was compensated and recieved financial aid, it was not enough to cover the medical and monthly bills.
this was the beginning of the break apart between the siblings, as minseok blamed their father’s accident on minnie and her selfishness. she tried to make amends with him multiple times, explain herself, but it did not matter.
one year later, she started working as a barista to be able to pay for the dance academy herself, and this only made the relationship with her brother grow more distant.
at 19, graduated and already an adult, she decided that, to pursue her dream, she needed to start moving. and that literally meant moving out. after ensuring with her parents that they’ll be okay and promising she would continue with her studies, minnie left daegu.
now in seoul and in college, minnie lived on a student residence and took a part-time job in a bakery while attending her classes.
she was on her second year when the opportunity of joining a dance studio appeared, she took it without second-guessing. she’s always been the kind of person to not let an opportunity pass by.
minnie quite early learned that studying, partaking on the dance studio activities and part-time working wasn’t something she could be doing at the same time for long. this is what finally prompted her to drop out of college to be able to fully dedicate herself to her dream: being a dancer.
and this is how she ended in the andante sharehouse. it was the first option she found and her part-time job allowed her to rent an individual room, much of an improvement to her shared student residence, so she took it.
also, she actually has three jobs: the dance gigs her dance studio does here and there, the part-time shifts at the bakery and, due to a sponsorship, she occasionally performs as a dancer in a dance club for some extra cash. overworking much? that’s just minnie being minnie!
for plotting!
due to her very busy lifestyle, minnie has a very ecclectic schedule and is barely at home but she always tries to make some time for any of the activities in the sharehouse and enjoys meeting other tenants here and there.
where to find her in andante? maybe accidentally half-asleep in the common room (her sleeping habits are really bad), exercizing or jogging around the building or in the kitchen.
minnie looooves cooking (with time, she found it destresses her) but is not good with measurements, so she ends up always preparing large meals and shares them with others. your muse doesn’t have time for cooking? they can count on minnie to feed them (?)
will 100% bring goods from the bakery to the sharehouse and if your muse doesn’t like pastries... she will find the one just right for them!
music blasting a bit too loud and some weird noises coming from the celling / wall, that might be minnie, practicing. oops, sorry! she tries to be a good neighbour though.
if there’s any animal cafe / shelter nearby, she’ll be there during her down times. the girl is actually allergic to cat fur but will put up with it because they. are. so. cute!
need a workout partner? she might be the person for you, that is if you can keep up.
personality wise, she is kind of an unconcious natural flirt. maybe your muse thought she’s was flirting with them when she wasn’t (or maybe she was).
her brashness means that many times she says things without thinking if they might hurt someone, she’s kind of blatantly honest and in your face. she has trouble apologizing.
it probably doesn’t help that her assertiveness can sometimes be overbearing. minnie knows what she wants and what she’s good at, and she won’t back down or pretend to be humble.
but she’s also loyal to the end and a dedicated and passionate soul that will give her 100% to everything she loves. and that includes people.
minnie hides a very vurnerable side that grows from her innate perfectionism but also her family situation. she feels the need to be perfect and successful as a way to compensate the struggles her parents endured for her.
