Likes: Reading, Walking Around at Night, Philosophy, Music, and Swimming

Dislikes: Dull Conversations, Inorganization, A Sluggish Pace, Heat, and Heights

Manias: Soyou has the tendency to want to keep everything neat and organized. The only problem is that her definition of “neat and organized” is: even numbers, symmetrical shapes, clutter-free spaces, and items following the alphabetical order. She’s never been diagnosed with OCD, so she prefers not to use the term. In the nearby future however, she plans to see a specialist so whether she has this mental disorder.

Phobias: She is afraid of falling. After biting her, Soyou’s sire threw her body off a cliff. And although she could barely feel anything aside from the pain emanating from her neck, the sensation of free falling as well as rocks hitting her body as she eventually rolled down the rocky mountain stuck with her. Although she can disguise her fear as nonchalance, Soyou has a hard time whenever she’s up at high places. She’s also even more affected when she has to go up mountains.

Virtue: Diligence

Personality description:

Being the eldest daughter of farmers, Soyou was very familiar with the concept of hard work. She was raised with the belief that if she wanted something, she shouldn’t just ask for it. Instead, she should work hard to get it.

Ever since she was younger, Soyou had always been quiet. People often misjudged her for being cold and distant because her default expression was somewhat of a glare. In reality, Soyou was just painfully awkward and shy.

However, when you get to know her, you can expect that she will care for you (to the point of being a mother hen) and laugh at the smallest or silliest things.

♚ // Character; Powers

Magical Powers: N/A

Non-magical Powers:

Increased strength

Increased speed

Minor manipulative powers

Minor elemental power: Water

Swimming

Singing

Weaknesses:

Soyou’s want for success often gives her tunnel vision. As an effect, she can be quite shortsighted at times, since she often misses the bigger picture. Her impatience also leads her to various difficult situations a lot of the time. Paired with a sharp tongue, Soyou’s short temper causes various heated arguments with different people. Lastly, as a vampire that was only turned 20 years ago, Soyou is weak against fire and can barely control her blood lust. She’s actively working on the latter to ensure that the people around her are safe from her.

♚ // Character; The Student

Study Style: Soyou is an overachiever through and through. She takes her academics very seriously and strives to top all her classes. She usually studies alone, since she finds it hard to concentrate when there’s chatter around her. Despite this, Soyou isn’t opposed to group study sessions so long as the people she studies with are quiet and only talk when needed.

For required group projects, she usually sits back and follows when someone takes the lead. In cases where her groupmates don’t, however, Soyou usually takes the reigns and acts as leader.

Crime Record: N/A

Has your character attended Insolitus Academy in the past? No

Background:

Soyou was the eldest daughter of her family. Her mother and father both worked at their field, and they had a simple yet fulfilling life. She had three other siblings (one sister and two brothers) who she loved and spoiled whenever she could. Despite various of her peers wanting to move to Seoul, Soyou never felt the need or want to move to the capital of South Korea. She simply adored the peacefulness and simplicity that her hometown offered.

This all changed in 1997, on the evening after Christmas.

Just as it was every year, it was a cold winter and Soyou was bundled up as she trekked up one of the mountains near their home. There was a small, roofed pergola that she always visited during the colder parts of the year. It looked over the rest of Jeju Island, and the sight of the wide, night sky that was draped over fields and small houses never failed to comfort her.

She had her knees to her chest and was cradling her thermos of hot tea when she heard someone walking behind her. Turning her head, she was greeted with a smile by her sire. (But of course, she didn’t know that then.) Assuming they were a tourist, Soyou smiled back at them. Living in Jeju meant that she often saw or met people who visited the island for a few days, after all.

She barely had time to process what happened. Suddenly, all Soyou knew was that her thick jacket and top were suddenly ripped from her body. Pain emanated from her neck, and a passing thought was that her sire’s arms that gently cradled her head so that they could have an easier time biting into her skin was a stark contrast to the agony she was in. Minutes suddenly felt like hours as Soyou felt her life literally being drained out of her.

Her sire threw her body over the cliff after they drank her blood, and until now, Soyou never found out why they didn’t just kill her instead of turning her into a vampire. Eventually, Soyou came to with a burning in her throat. With a speed she didn’t know she was capable of; she ran to the nearest house and followed her instincts. After having her fill, Soyou was finally able to see out of the haze she was in and was horrified to realize that she had just killed her own family.

Soyou knew that she would be blamed by the authorities if she was ever found, so she decided to set their home on fire so that people could think that all of them died. It was only dawning on her what she had become when she decided that she had to leave Jeju Island to avoid being found. Not trusting herself, Soyou decided to swim to the mainland instead of riding a ferry to avoid further harming anyone.

Soyou eventually reached land and slowly established her new life there. In the first few years, she learned to only target people who were “bad.” This included rapists, thieves, murderers, and other deviants. When she was finally able to get a better handle on her blood lust, Soyou started working odd jobs to support herself financially. Eventually, she was able to get in touch with someone who could produce her identification cards so that she could work for larger-paying jobs. When Soyou heard of Insolitus Academy, an institution that offer its students education and shelter, she didn’t hesitate to apply and become a student. After all, she never finished studying college in Jeju Island all those years ago.
