Though the second is usually only shown to her enemies or when in extreme anger.
Personality
Some would consider her personality her downfall. Seohyun is extremely naive about the real world around her due to her sheltered upbringing. Whatever she knows about the world has been learned through her studies and whatever she could find in books. Leaving her not to understand some of the most basic things when she finds herself out in the "real world", and not having common street-smarts. But living amongst nobles has made her sharp, witty, and resourceful. It's no surprise that in the world of noble politics that you have to learn to swim with sharks. Seohyun knows how to use words to put herself in a beneficial situation, and get herself out of trouble. She is cunning, and sometimes even manipulative if she needs to be. If she finds that she can't outsmart someone, she'll tend to use money as another option. She uses her finances in order to reach her goals and to bring her places that looks and wit cannot. But more lays beneath the young lady that others tend to miss. Despite sometimes being made out to be a vain, and shallow. She can be extremely caring and nurturing to her friends. She also feels as though it's her job to keep those around her entertained if things are going dull. Unlike most native Ul'dahn, if someone is to win her trust, she'll be extremely loyal (Sometimes to a fault) and be at their side even when their wrong. Her loyalty shows no bounds, she's even willing to follow someone she cares for deeply into a near death experience without questions asked. Because of this, she tries to not become attached to people, knowing that someone might take advantage of her loyalty. More importantly, she pretends to be a innocent, pure, angelic figure to people she recently meets in fear that they may not like her true personality, and because of this she is self-conscious to show the woman she truly is.
- Fears: People not liking the "real" her, people seeing through her facade, remaining alone, rejection, becoming attached to someone, love, someone having power over her.
- Talents: Curative Spells, Alchemy, Dancing, Singing, Using words to get her way.
- Dislikes: Dance, Music, Men, Wine, Clothes, Jewels, Interested in most forms of magic, Strawberries.
- Demeanor: Womanizers, Snooty Rich People, Magitech Technology (Too complicated for her) , sometimes jealous of female Miqo'te due to their natural beauty.
Other
- Voice: Usually gentle, sweet, innocent and soft. When she reveals her dark streak, it tends to get sultry, husky, and seductive.
- Mind: Booksmart, but lacks street-smarts.
- Fighting Style: Seohyun is extremely frail and thus won't be found anywhere near the front line of a battle. Instead, she relies on her allies for protection, while supporting them with her healing magic, enchanting them with magical barriers of protection or stone, and weaving the elements to send magical barrages at her foes. If forced into close range combat, she keeps dirk hidden in a shin sheath under her boots. Despite not being good with a blade at all, she knows that she must stab with the sharp end. Her frail dancers build allows her to be agile, but she is far from a sword-maiden. Thus, she prefers to outsmart her opponents using wit and manipulation in order to give them a hassle or subdue them. Trying to cause tension among their ranks so that they'd fight amongst each other and forget about her as the target. Her real weapon is not a sword, or dangerous explosive magic. Instead, it's charm, cunning, and gil.
History
Past: Born and raised as the only daughter of a wealthy family from Ul'dah, Seohyun was lucky enough to be showered in wealth and favor. Her father came down from a long line of jewel traders, who now had their own company in Ul'dah. Her mother, a conjurer from Gridania who fell in love with not only her father, but the gil in his possession.
Seohyun got whatever she wanted as a child, except for freedom. During her upbringing, Seohyun was taught how entertain, and have proper etiquette like most young noble women. She accompanied her parents in political parties, dinners, and balls. Watching how the upper-class scene in Ul'dah worked, she learned that everyone lied, everyone was fake to each other, and if you wanted to be liked you had to say what people wanted to hear. But it didn't take her long to learn that this isn't the kind of life she wanted to live.
At adulthood, her biological mother died of a terminal illness and her father was quick to remarry. Instead, this time he married a young Ul'dah songstress that wasn't much older than Seohyun. Her new "step-mother" was enchantingly beautiful, with a divine voice. The way she controlled her father, and the men around her made Seohyun itch with jealousy, and yearn to be like her. She came to hate this woman, not only because she was trying to take her mothers place, but because of the large amount of jealousy she harbored. Not being able to see her father with this woman, and refusing to remain a prized caged bird. Seohyun decided to gather her things, and make an escape.
A year later, Seohyun found herself in Gridania, where her biological mother was born. Here, she decided to study at Stillglade Fane where should could master the art of conjury. Things here were dull, and quiet. She wanted a purpose, adventure, and excitement but she knew all those things came at the price. The price of risking your life. It was then, she decided that she'd take up arms and help fight against the upcoming threats and while also gaining enough riches to surpass that of her fathers. Once her goal was complete, she'd return to Ul'dah once again and flaunt her success.
Current
Sent to Limsa Lominsa by the Stillglade in order to help treat their injuries now, as their nations attempt to fight the Imperials. Seohyun has had a hard time adjusting into the brutal atmosphere in Limsa Lominsa, and is confused by the behavior the people here display. Nevertheless she finds it extremely entertaining and eye-opening.
(More to come as roleplay deepens)
Friends
Gerik Aston: One of her first friends since she escaped Ul'dah. She teases him playfully, and has even forced him to be her trophy boyfriend in order to make her child-hood friends die with jealousy. Though she's oblivious of his sexuality and thinks he has a crush on her.
Reiry Nitrrah: A woman she met at a masquerade ball. Reiry was the first friend she's made outside of Ul'dah, and thus holds a special place in her heart.
Shurin Mizune: A man of the Maelstorm that she ran into one night on a balcony looking at the ocean. She finds Shurin interesting, despite the darkness he shows. Seohyun is motivated to help Shurin get his life back in track, and to help him find his happy place once more.
Reta Suri: A tough Miqo'te woman that Seohyun met in Limsa. She yearns to be as honest and as strong as Reta is, and finds her to be a inspiration. Despite her tough attitude, men still seem to flock to her which makes Seohyun awe. Despite only spending a short time around her, she already sees Reta as a big-sister.
Tyonis Magstrom: A pervert that she met along with Reta. Despite his his lewd personality, she's noticed that he cares for her protection and even gave her good advice on how to survive. Seohyun highly respects him, and also finds him entertaining to be around. Where ever Tyonis is, there's either a party or trouble to be had... and she loves both of those things. She is currently considering on hiring him as her sell-sword.
Gospel Gestalt: Someone she's been bumping into a lot recently. Seohyun is envious of the magical prowess he commands, and wishes she were as strong as him to defend herself and her friends. They both find each other odd, but she respects him highly and laughs a lot while being in his company.
