⏾⋆.˚ 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐫 ; 𝘺𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘫𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘴 ━━━ the min family crisis continues! island chaebol heiress, eun-hye min, was caught sneaking out of prep school and sent to america in hopes of reform. amidst present scandals surrounding the first born daughter, their move to the states has sent moving shockwaves across samdado. though perhaps understandable to get away from the constant limelight brought in by the head of the family, an-ho min, and his continuous fraternizing with those outside of his marriage; causing eun-hye to become the first known bastard-born chaebol in the nation. hidden away from the public, the teenager has quietly exited the financial clique and will not be returning to their luxurious coastal life anytime soon.

eun-hye min lived most of their childhood outside of their homeland of jeju-do, the beautified island of south korea. a child born outside of wedlock, they were pushed into locked rooms or behind dusty curtains when it was time for family photos, or as early as possible, sent abroad to private institutions. there they studied and was taught the art of the more traditional life: horseback riding, fencing, ballet, instruments, and an oddity chosen for the young child, the bow and arrow. they had learned a multitude of languages, traveling between countries and cities, never staying long enough to get comfortable as eun-hye became a creature of solidarity living. until one year, eun-hye was sent to live with their distant "aunt" (who was really a childhood friend of their fathers) when they were caught sneaking out, and subsequent stealing from their fellow peers. now stuck in a small town in new jersey, enrolled into a public school for a year and forced into pitiful extracurriculars; their punishment for breaking the rules of living uptight, upper class life didn't stop there.

their memory of the crash was everything but hazy, clear picture of their descent stayed glistening in their memories: the ones that haunt them into their adulthood. they survived the crash and after that, fell into a world of madness, and the hunt. a killer they became, hunting animals when needed, using uncalloused hands to craft arrow after arrow until it was perfected out there. the climb to the top seemed out of reach, out of their dreams and mind, focused merely on the fact of survival. spite and anger was held onto for their dear life, as they would not become victim of the cards. it was hard to believe at first, the distant call of the moon that would howl to them in the middle of the night should have convinced them to listen closer; the other girls seemed to partake in the nature's bounty just fine (better than them, at first). but when the hunger settled, somewhere deep within their belly and clawed its way to their heart, blackening it to stone, eun-hye saw all meat the same.

after their rescue, leitha immediately returns home to jeju-do and spends years "recovering" within their family home. they are never seen in public, however, their story does become sensationalized across korea (and much of east asia) as the story of a "true girl-survivor". years afterwards, with the rise of "true crime", the story of the chaebol heiress turned plane crash survivor hit the western world, and forced them to change their name and identity during their mid-20s. basically removing themselves from their chaebol lineage, they do stay in korea to finish their studies as they enter law school, get a law degree, and successfully become a lawyer under their new alias. they never do end up practicing law, only wishing to complete their studies and degree - instead shifting towards their p.i work. after about a decade, they return to the united states and begin their private investigator practice. during the entire time post-rescue, leitha never gives up their connection to their more "wild" and "surviving" side of the wilderness, carrying it into adulthood and their new job. their p.i work is constantly filled with danger and violence, engaging in a more "vigilante" side of the law.

season three. the differences are pretty stark because of the grossly misinterpretations and character assassinations of the woc in this show. leitha does not side with shauna, in fact, they quickly snap out of their delusional haze once lottie kills the researcher. no matter their homelife, nothing could ever convince them to stay in the wilderness, not even for fear of people knowing what they did out there. there is still a privileged aspect in their life and precursor knowledge that their father, no matter his own personal opinions and thoughts, would do anything and everything to protect their legacy. and that includes potentially covering up their murder and subsequent cannibalism. this makes them built with a mental fortitude during this season in the wilderness, where seeing another full winter is not something they are planning on doing. they stay on natalie's side, and even goes as far as attempting to befriend mari and misty.

it's very unlikely leitha ever becomes antler queen during their time in the wilderness as their connection with nature is more with the moon than anything else (trees, wind, animals, etc.)
leitha doubts the spiritual aspect of the wilderness only during the beginning stages of crash. once they see multiple acts of "miracles" performed especially during the time in the cabin, leitha is easily convinced. they very much believe in forms of mysticism as it is an important aspect of korean culture, but they don't believe themselves as a spiritual person.
leitha partakes in the murders and subsequent cannibalism that occurs in the wilderness. they are wracked with guilt and acts out in forms of self harm/danger only against themselves and never against the others.
it is very likely the other girls did not like leitha. lei was a quiet girl with a sharp, dead panned wit, was ridiculously intelligent for their age, and it very much showed. they thought they were not only better than everyone else, with their studies and physical prowess, but didn't care to hide that fact either. this is one of the main reasons they fall into the more "occult" side of the wilderness and their time there, as well as the violence enacted, due to peer pressure and hopes that if they were to engage, the others wouldn't use their personality before the crash against them.
leitha hunts with a makeshift bow but rarely ever uses it. they keep it more for a form of protection and does threaten multiple people multiple times to not take it from them possession or if their life is ever in danger (by the other survivors).
when they changed their identity the only people that know of it are the other survivor's. even though they try not to stay in contact with any of them, apart of their job as a p.i will always be keeping an eye on the others (for protection/safety reasons and the fear of one of the admitting what they all did). leitha is always just a phone call away for the others to reach, in case they need their help.
