BASIC INFO:Â
NAME: Yuri Moon. NICKNAME ( S ): Ri, Yu. PREFERRED NAME: Yuri. AGE: 23 BIRTHDATE: October 31 BIRTHPLACE: Busan, South Korea HOMETOWN: Busan, South Korea / Chicago, Illinois ZODIAC SIGN: Scorpio SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Bisexual GENDER & PRONOUNS: Cis woman / she/her OCCUPATION: Criminology student MORAL ALIGNMENT: Chaotic good ELEMENT: Fire
BACKGROUND | BULLET POINTS:Â
born in busan, south korea to moon in-ha and choi ji-hoon. an extremely happily married couple, the kind who made people look at them and roll their eyes but also smile at the same time because they were too adorable not to elicit one from onlookers. yuri was their first and only child, not for the lack of trying, because while they loved her, they both lived far too busy schedules to care for more than one child and struggled enough as it were to care for yuri.Â
her father was an attorney with yoon & yang llc and her mother owned her own restaurant, which was incredibly popular and in high-demand, particularly among tourists. yuri spent a lot of her time there as a child, doodling in her sketchbook and latching onto her mother whenever possible.Â
yuri was four when her mother, unbeknownst to her at the time because she was far too little to understand, was diagnosed with cancer. the doctors had caught it too late, but that didnât stop in-ha from doing treatments anyway. she fought until she no loner could, when yuri was six, going on seven and lived a lot longer than the doctors had been under the impression she would.Â
after in-haâs death, yuriâs father threw himself even more into his work and a lot of yuriâs time was spent either with her friends and their parents or with whatever nanny he hired that week to take care of her. he attempted to be as present as he could in yuriâs life, but his wifeâs death had taken a toll on him and it would take months for him to recover enough to be the type of father he wanted to be.Â
while yuri hadnât been thrilled with it, the then eleven year old had been semi-pleased to see her father start dating again. heâd met a woman from america, a painter and museum curator from chicago, who had traveled to korea for vacation, as well to do some business, and the two formed a serious relationship that was long-distance for a little over a year before he announced that theyâd be moving from korea to live with her, as well as her child who yuri had yet to meet, in chicagoÂ
adjusting to life in chicago had been difficult at first, particularly given the language barrier because she had been so accustomed to speaking mostly korean back in busan, but she eventually adjusted and felt comfortable enough to start attempting to enjoy her life again. however, there wasnât a day that went by where she didnât miss her mother and somewhat resent her father for moving her to a not only a new city, but an entirely different country, where she didnât know a single soul.Â
it was around her second year of high school that she decided she wanted to follow in her fatherâs footsteps and go into law. she became obsessed with true crime shows and shows like law & order and loved watching the attorneys put the bad guys away for life or longer. and while she did love art and probably always would, she couldnât see herself making a career out of it. mostly because she felt like making it her job would suck the fun out of it for her and she wanted it to forever be that special talent of hers that tied her to her mother.Â
yuri couldnât have been more thrilled to get accepted into the program and given the opportunity to attend school while traveling. while neither her father nor her step mother were lacking in money, by any means, she had refused their help for school and had worked her hardest to win an academic scholarship to attend-- and she had. she was a lot of things, not all of them great, but she was almost stubborn to a fault and possessed a determination that rivaled that of her mothers and had refused to give up until she got her way.Â
PERSONALITY:Â
as mentioned above, she is impossibly stubborn, to the point of it being obnoxious at times. sheâs blunt, but never intends to be rude and will apologize should she offend. strong on the surface, not all the way through, as the song goes. she has the tendency to be petty & hold grudges. screw her over once and she wonât give you a second chance, because she doesnât feel like second chances are something that should be given to begin with. sheâs incredibly creative and adventurous, but also very withdrawn. more often than not, she prefers to keep to herself and not surround herself with a lot of people. loyal and trustworthy, but distrusting as all hell and absolutely does not wear her heart on her sleeve. she doesnât really like getting attached to people. itâs more of a subconscious thing, relating to her motherâs death when she was younger. sheâs just afraid of losing people but wonât acknowledge it or really deal with it. sheâs super prideful and, in her case, that isnât a good thing. sweet as pie. very caring. the type of friend that you want to have on your side but the kind of enemy that you donât want. hyper-focused, doesnât get easily distracted. will choose to study over party on any given day. because while she is fun loving, sheâs also very serious about her major and will put school before any/all relationships, for the most part. anyway, thatâs all i can think of for now, but will add more as i get to know her as a muse.Â
EXTRA:Â
sheâs multilingual. fluent in korean, english, japanese, mandarin, and is learning french. sheâs obsessed with languages and wants to be fluent in as many as she possibly can learn.Â
sheâs bisexual. sheâs kind of always been aware of it. her first major crush when she was little was on this girl in her school so that kind of made it obvious for her.Â
she loves to sketch, paint, sculpt. if itâs art-related, sheâs at least attempted it once. she also really loves photography and will take pictures everywhere that she goes and post them on her instagram. she basically only uses insta for her photography, for the most part.Â
loves music. will sing sometimes, but her shower is her only audience and her showerhead is her microphone.Â
she still has the sketchbook her mother gave her when she was little. itâs falling apart, but she doesnât ever plan to lose it and would probably never forgive herself if she did because itâs one of the few things she has left of her mother.Â
has probably one of the most laid back styles ever. she prefers sweats and t-shirts and caps over dressing up any day. the way she sees it, she can still look amazing and be comfortable while doing it. owns more jordans/sneakers than is probably necessary.Â
1000% insta-famous for all of the photography/art that she posts.Â
she sells her art on the side, as a fun little hobby but most of it, she keeps because she doesnât want to part with it. another big reason she didnât choose art as her major, itâs all just too precious to her.Â
her major is criminology, with the goal of becoming a laywer. she isnât certain what type of lawyer she wants to be; probably a prosecuting attorney, with the intent to prosecute the actually guilty.Â
sheâs obsessed with pop figures. the top of her dresser is covered with them.
probably the most ideal roommate ever, given that she prefers to keep to herself, like, eighty percent of the time. only thing that sucks about her is her showers are long af, but at least she doesnât take forever getting ready in the mornings?? so thatâs a brightside, kind of.Â
is an overachiever and damn proud of it. will shove her accomplishments in someoneâs face whenever given the opportunity but only when sheâs prompted to ( she tries not to be TOO obnoxious about it )Â
doesnât really care if people know that sheâs on academic scholarship. after all, she has money, just didnât use it to get into school
WANTED PLOTS:Â
this is just general stuff to get the ball rolling because iâm kind of the wost when it comes to plotting, so:
best friends ( i imagine she has, like, two, because as stated in her intro, she does not like getting close to people ) squad ( ties into the best friend thing tbh but whatever lol ) acquaintances drinking buddies someone she is protective over someone who is protective over her academic rival ( as stated before, sheâs competitive af ) good âol frenemies just plain âol enemies ( theyâd have to have done something really bad to her in the short time she has been at the school though bc forreal itâs so hard to make her hate someone, like theyâd have to burn her tbh ) good influence bad influence would love something soft like this: xxxxx who doesnât love the bold type friendship tbh: xxxx and something like this, where they just get on each otherâs nerves: xxxxx but forreal, iâm down for anything and everything tbhÂ
