eloise kim. 21. faction 1, muse 2 ( right hand of faction one ).
( + ) positives﹕ steadfast ( strong willed, resolutely, dutifully ), astute ( intelligent, possessing the ability to assess situations to turn into their favor )
( - ) negatives﹕ moralistic ( quick to pass moral judgement on other’s behavior ), righteous ( morally “right” or justifiable )
the au corant﹕ someone who is well aware of what is going on, always informed.
further aesthetics﹕ quiet mornings spent from behind panes of glass as you count each dew drop with your hands wrapped around a cold mug of coffee, buying the perfect mascara that doesn’t smudge when you inevitably find a place to cry in the most crowded times of day, ribbons and skirts flowing from your shelves and onto your body in repeated fashions that you can’t force yourself to grow out of, your lungs screaming for air after you sprint for longer than you’re supposed to — it’s the only time you really feel alive, the hand that wraps around your throat every time you think of rebelling from what you were always supposed to be in your life & itching and dreaming and longing and yearning to break free but never getting far enough – are you more scared of the possibilites, or who you really are inside?
iv. ﹡ the quickest, smallest, biography
eloise kim born and raised in west ham to supposedly david and tammy kim, two renowned professors at saltzman university. david is a world - renowned brain surgeon, tammy is a notable defense attorney for the city. they live in a big, white house on the wealthiest street in west ham + eloise has a perfect childhood.
as the daughter of immigrants, she starts to pick up on the fact that nothing really matters more than image and reputation. little by little, she starts to gnaw away at herself to become the girl she thinks she needs to become. by junior high, she’s the pristine and pure good girl that all small towns love and has no intent on changing.
is popular and loved in high school, though she knows she’s not as great as everyone thinks she is. behind the scenes, she tends to lie, cheat, and backstab to get what she wants. she gets by ( mostly ) unscathed due to both the reputation of her parents and her very own reputation.
goes to saltzman university after high school just because of her own parents and goes into a microbiology and immunology major for a pre - med track, hoping to get out of west ham and work as an epidemiologist. plays on the saltzman university volleyball team as a setter / defensive specialist.
about three weeks before the cub camp trip, pulls on a thread and uncovers a secret that ruins her whole life: david and tammy kim aren’t her real parents. her real mother is the aunt she never knew, who gave birth to her and gave her away to her eldest brother. meaning, eloise is david’s niece, not his daughter.
right before cub camp, she confronts her “cousin”, who is actually her half-brother, elijah shin and has a huge argument with him. then, new ham happens and she just pretends nothing happened. they’re still parading as cousins, since ellie just refuses to talk about it.
fell into faction one because that’s what’s expected from her and she’s too much of a coward to stand up to the image that she has, but is definitely still a terrible person underneath. she is only the right hand because finn left the faction for faction three and is just vibing ( badly ).
iv. ﹡ personality
exterior﹕ to west ( and new ) ham, eloise is good. she’s always been good, that’s just who she is. the kind of girl who helps the old man up the stairs to the church and spends her extra time volunteering. of course, she does this all for show, but there’s still a small part of her that believes she has to do it. she has to be seen as good, she has to be seen this way only, she’s rather scared, actually, to be seen as anything but pristine, perfect, and good.
interior﹕ she knows herself best, because nobody really gets to know the real her ( she doesn’t let anyone know her, anyway ). eloise knows herself as untamed and wild, a beast that’ll do anything for her own survival. it eats away at her a lot, because that’s the only way she sees herself and she absolutely cannot let anybody else see her this way.
midway﹕ she isn’t exactly untouched, though. she’s a good girl, yes, but of the most exhausting kind. she’s obedient, judgmental, and moralistic. if you aren’t up to her standards, you will know. she’s okay with her words and charm, though she tends to be more pretentious than the average human being.
character parallels﹕ serena joy waterford ( the handmaid’s tale ), eleanor sung - yung ( crazy rich asians ), michaela pratt ( htgawm ), paris geller ( gilmore girls ), zelda spellman ( caos ), azula ( atla ), rosalie hale ( twilight )
v. ﹡ headcanons
as most small towns call for, eloise was a little athlete as a child. she took a certain liking to volleyball at a young age, however, and with her parents’ approval, began club in junior high. she played all throughout junior high and high school as a setter / defensive specialist, and eventually got offered a full ride to saltzman u to play for their team. currently, it would’ve been her last playing collegiate volleyball and she was the team captain.
speaking of volleyball, she was scouted for a couple of other teams ( was the #3 recruit of the nation in her recruiting class ) and turned down offers from usc, harvard and texas. it was always going to be saltzman, since that’s where home was and she really felt like she had no other choice as eloise kim.
truthfully, she’s a bit of a stickybeak and tends to pry into other people’s business. it’s a small town! she’s learned to gossip from the old ladies, don’t blame her. that being said, she taught herself how to read lips for this precise reason and does it whenever she’s bored and wants to know the latest drama. it’s half the reason why she’s always in the know.
the kim family had a black cat named gertrude. she’s thirteen years old, has a total attitude, and scratches anyone who isn’t a kim. she’s always been eloise’s best friend when she felt like she had none. upon returning and finding out that everyone had gone / disappeared, eloise searched first for gertrude. when she found out that even gertrude was gone, she had a bit of a melt down and wouldn’t leave her house for a few days/
already knew korean and english going into junior high, but was forced to take a language elective, so she chose german. turns out, she’s really good at it and actually worked really hard to become fluent in it. she actually has a pen - pal / actual friend who speaks german so they can converse and practice the language together.
won homecoming queen as a senior in high school. it’s not her biggest achievement, but she looks at the tiara ( still on her shelf in her home in new ham ) sometimes and wonders if she really deserved it. she wasn’t like, mean in high school, but she definitely wasn’t the most honest person either. so, basically how she’s been her whole life, but she questions it a lot.
her #1 enemy is herself!!! self sabotages most relationships!!! insecure as a bitch!! she questions every decision she makes and every move she makes, all because she’s trying to be somebody that she thinks she has to be and she knows what she’s become to have her reputation!!! hates herself!!! she’s her own #1 anti!
spends a lot of time now at the church and the health center. the church was a place she frequented a lot as a teenager and the health center just makes sense because she was pre - med and honestly, doesn’t know much else. still, she volunteers for chores and helping as often as she can in new ham because that’s what’s expected of her.
truthfully, she doesn’t even want power. she views it as incredibly useless in new ham and does not care for the other faction’s leaders / leadership. all eloise cares about here is staying alive and surviving, which is pretty much what faction one is so she stays there because it’s the best place for her. also, her bark?? much worse than her bite. so just punch her, you have my permission, what’s she gonna do??? cry???
