alright kiddos let’s get this started ! first of all , sorry this is late - i work full time & even if i didn’t this would have probably still been posted late lmao . i’m liza , 20 , & i’m in the pst timezone ! under the cut you can find more about my baby demon , arden ! (tw : drug mention / use , exploitation )
( hwang yeji, cisfemale, she / her, 21. ) — ARDEN WU, better known to the authorities as OCULUS, has been working for the kumiho for around TWO YEARS as a LOOKOUT. rumor has it, they can be INNOVATIVE & RESOLUTE but also DITZY & IMPETUOUS which is why red stained fingertips, bruised hips, neon - lit silhouettes, & white - powder lines makes me think of them.
born in washington dc to an affluent family ( ik shocking ) & as an only child . her mom was practically already a socialite & her dad was climbing the social ladder because hint hint he was already involved in criminal activity when she was born ( as was her mom , but her career was more a front to cover for the fact ) .
her dad was heavily involved in drug trade , not necessarily like . . . crime family related but he had a reputation & people knew him as a ‘ drug lord ‘ to those within their VERY inner circle , even though i don’t really have a better way to put it lmao . even now she never really questioned how her dad got involved in this kind of business ? just assumed that it was a generational thing . or that he got involved with the wrong people before she was born & never wanted to fix his affiliations .
her family actually created a charity organization for them to funnel money through without suspicion . including laundering , writing off books , etc . you know , the whole deal of a scam ! this basically helped her family create a front of respectability within the media & painted them as people who could do no wrong . definitely something she will take advantage of when she gets older haha !
arden got involved in this stuff from a young age . when she was fourteen to sixteen , her main purpose was to be the face of her family’s charity . speaking about the cause & how much donations & its volunteers were helping keep them afloat . she obviously knew what her family was doing at the time , but even when she was a kid she was kind of groomed to accept this as her reality . her entire life she kind of became good at putting on specific faces depending on who was with .
her family moved to seoul when she was seventeen only because her father wanted to expand their so - called ‘ charity ‘ & make it more global . it was basically his way of making their family untouchable in their trade . it was also when she was seventeen she started to resent her father for using her as nothing more than a face for his mission ? there was only so much she would be willing to take before it became too much , & it was when she was eighteen did she start looking for ways to act up . arden even started to experiment with her dad’s supply when she was around this age because it felt almost natural for her ? - it never became a habit , but she still uses from time to time . no one really knows about this except for a select few .
became a part of the kumiho when she was nineteen , & the role of lookout actually suits her perfectly because believe it or not , she enjoys being in the background . it allows for her to see things & people that normally wouldn’t show their true colors in front of others . - ie , her codename : oculus . also a HUGE part of her involvement is because she wants to beat her parents at something . . . anything .
her persona is extremely . . . ditzy lmao . not necessarily dumb , but she pretends to not be the smartest person around for the very purpose of people thinking she’s not capable . honestly , she has an obsession with proving people wrong & being underestimated ? phew babey ! she also doesn’t open up her real personality to many people because she doesn’t want people to see her as a threat ? she’s obviously not a physical threat lmao , but she has no problem with hurting those who wrong her if it came to it .
huge issues with authority , i mean . . . huge . probably will ignore rules & warnings until she absolutely has no choice but to follow them . i’m almost sure she loves to create problems that don’t exist but do with that what you will !
idk what else i’m missing but that seems to be the gist ! please just plot w me . . . i’m desperate . & don’t be afraid to make it ugly 🤠
