The Masterpiece In Progress of Park Choa

{ PERSONALITY }

I'm an angel with a shotgun, fighting 'til the war's won, I don't care if heaven won't take me back.

Choa is a fairly simple person. She is amiable yet somewhat reserved, a smile always on hand no matter her mood. She once conditioned herself to be as obedient as possible, setting a great lot of pressure on herself to do as she was told and as expected no matter how much she didn't want to do something. This trait has since diminished with her choice to do things her way from now on as far as her schooling and life are concerned.

Of course, it would be foolish to state that Choa had been a complete goodie-two-shoes before her choice to perminately defy her parents. Even now she's known to be a little adventurous, take some risks and have some fun. She's by no means a "bad girl" and doesn't really care if you see her has one but she's usually also perfectly okay with being called a "good girl" it simply depends on her mood each passing moment.

Like any stereotypic girl, Choa gets emotional. Actually, she cries pretty easily. But she also tends to generally feel a lot of things and she's not exactly good at expressing them all the time. But she does try. Happy emotions are the easiest for her to show and express, they're what's expected of her after all, but the darker emotions she still has trouble letting show. It's something that will only come with time. She also has her insecurities, but she wouldn't want you know any of those here. Just know that they exist.

Otherwise, Choa is rather confident in herself. She's not narcissistic, but she knows that she is fairly pretty and she's comfortable in her own skin. She doesn't use her looks to her advantage, though she most certainly is capable of doing so. To be honest, she's quite modest when it comes to her looks and if you're not careful a simple compliment on how pretty or (god forbid) cute she is could leave her flustered. She's much more confident now in her own talents than she was before. She will easily sing not matter who's around, show off her latest work in the art studio to her friends and even, if she wrote a song, maybe let people listen to it.

All in all, Choa's also just a kid. She's a young woman who has always acted her age and finally she's able to show some of her more childish side. Don't be surprised if she whines or pouts when she really wants something (playfully, of course, never actually upset) or gets extremely excited about something. She's a five-year-old at heart. It's just how she is.

{ TRIVIA }

But she moonlights rock and roll playing a rain dance with her guitar. Sometimes you only get one chance.

- She's a pretty good cook. Between herself and her sisters, Choa is the only one capable of putting a full meal on the table for her family.

- Owns 2 guitars: 1 acoustic, 1 electric

- Always has a small stash of lollipops with her and a bigger stash hidden away in her bedroom somewhere. The chocolate ones are her favorite and if she really likes you, she'll share the chocolate ones with you!

- Usually has either a dark, strawberry blonde hue to her hair or her favorite platinum blonde. Rarely if ever does she dye her hair back to its natural brown color. She's taken to keeping the length of her hair short for almost two years now.

- The Sortting Hat on Pottermore sorted her into Ravenclaw the first time she made an account years ago which was forturnate as Luna Lovegood is her favorite character from the Harry Potter series. However, recently she created a new account (having lost all login info for her original account) and has been sorted this time into Hufflepuff house which she finds to be a very nice fit this time around. Needless to say, she likes Harry Potter quite a bit. It's possibly the only full book series she's finished and completely enjoyed.

- Can't hold her liquor. If it's beer she's drinking, then it will take longer, but give her at least 3 fruity alcoholic drinks and she's well on her way to being gone. She has taken to liking Manhattans, though. However, she can only drink one and it has to be slowly or she'll be gone for good.

- Her bedroom is kept neat, but her desk is usually littered with sketches, art supplies and sheet music. She does very little of her actual homework at said desk. Her room is also decorated with atrwork done by either her boyfriend or friends and is usually sporting a few green plants year round.

- Loves Bees (Honey and Bumble mostly) and everything they do for this Earth. When she was a kid she use to try to catch them in jars to keep as pets but her sistes always ratted her out and she was forced to release them. Now, she has 3 gardens at the KD house and one is specifically dedicated to the little pollenators. It's the one furthest from the house and it has a little sign a good 3 feet from it on a couple sides that warns that the flowers are meant for the bees, so that those who would prefer to stay away from them can easily do so.

- She drives a Baby Blue 2013 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible.

- Samples of her artwork/styles: Here, Here and Here (others may be used but either way proper credit will be given to the actual artists when/if used in game). She's also become fond of the Adventure Time style animation.

- Has a tattoo on her left side that is easily and always covered by either her bra or, if it's summer, sometimes her bikini top. It's a series of music notes and a treble clef, as pictured here. She's had it for 3 years now and very few know of its existence.

{ HISTORY }

I'm still getting to the good part, the breaking down, learning how to write my story...

As the middle child of wealthy business man and a lawyer, Choa was raised with all the comforts that money could buy. She had a nanny to take care of her and her sisters while her parents worked and true to most with money, Choa saw her nanny more than her actual parents only getting to see her parents a few times a week if she was lucky, but when she did they were nothing short of loving and attentive, however, they had high expectations for their three daughters.

Being the middle child wasn't easy. While her older sister was more or less perfect and the one both of the younger girls were compared to all the time, the youngest was doted on and got away with anything, leaving Choa in the role of doing as she was told. And that's what she did for most of her adolescent life, actually. For 18 years, Choa did as she was told. She got the best grades she could in order to please her parents, even agreed to go to university after secondary school. Of course, Choa wasn't devoted completely to her studies. Like any child, she had her interests and as would be Choa's luck, he favorites weren't what her parents would approve of: music and art. It was impossible to keep her hobbies a secret. Her parents allowed her to have her little whims and fantasies, even let her join the glee and drama clubs in secondary school as well as take guitar lessons and take art classes. But at the first signs of her wanting to take any of her hobbies to the extreme and pursue them as careers, she was instantly shut down.

So, at age 18, about three months after getting her high school diploma, Choa decided that she'd defy her parents. Her parents didn't approve of her moving out and taking a year or more off from school, but they also didn't stop her. They'd decided to let her try doing things her own way in the hopes that she would someday soon see that her parents weren't trying to be controlling, but were really just looking out for her. Trying to save her any heartache of failure. Music and art weren't going to be stable careers. They thought they were doing the right thing, and still stand by their decisions at the time.

It took two years in the 'real world' for Choa to understand why her parents wanted her to get a proper degree. Two years of working dead end jobs that paid barely enough for rent and food, two years of getting few commissions for artwork, two years of failed auditions before she returned home to admit her defeat. During those two years, Choa discovered quite a bit about herself and about the world. She hadn't really led a sheltered life up until that point, but there was that sense of new and exciting and, well frankly, terrifying, that came with being out on her own. She craved to have it back almost as soon as she'd given it up.

University was the next logical step. She retook her CSATs and sent her scores along with her applications to start with the Spring 2013 semester at Yonsei. Choa followed her parents' wishes and chose a degree in medicine. Optometry would be the outcome in the end, after the long years it would take, but at least she'd have a guaranteed job upon graduation. Exactly what her parents wanted.

It was Choa's call to join the Kappa Delta sisterhood. She needed a support system to keep her sane while tackling a field of study that wasn't of her choosing and the sisterhood seemed perfect for that. With any luck, this being in college thing will serve to be quite an adventure.

But at the end of the Fall 2014 semester, Choa finally broke. After a year and a half of being a medical student she couldn't take it anymore and abruptly changed majors, not before running away to Europe for a month during Winter break on an adventure, though. Her parents don't completely approve of the change, but Choa seems not to care as much. Art is what she wants to do, and she's far too high-strung to roll over and play by her parent's rules this time.

In her Spring 2015 semester she started her new major: Fine Arts Management and Administation, a kind of hybrid degree that will net her both a business and a Fine Art degree at once. er aim with this degree? To someday run an art museum or two or three or more in her lifetime, and get to travel the world while doing it.

Choa took another two month trip, this time to Italy only, during the following summer break, wanting to see the world a little before it was back to the grind of studying, exam taking and essay writing. With the start of the Fall 2015 semester, Choa was back at the gride of classes, ready to learn more and slowly work her way toward finishing her degree on time. Her goal is to graduate after the end of her Fall 2017 semester.

You had your dreams, I had mine. You had your fears, I was fine. Showed me what I couldn't find when two different world collide....

Kim Woobin - Their first meeting was when he was a TA for one of the Art professors. Choa had only signed up for one art class that semester to get ahead of her degree switch. They bumped into each other all the time it seemed after that. Somehow a friendship of sorts blossomed. He draws her face a lot accidently (and sometimes on purpose) which amuses her greatly to be honest. Now they're greek siblings and, well, let's just say they're very close.

Yong - Woobin's pet garter snake. Choa loves the reptile dearly and occasionally requests playdates with him. What once was an excuse to hang out with Woobin is now a regular happening that doesn't even need words. Yong is as used to being held by Choa as Woobin is to having her around all the time.

Horangi - Woobin adopted this beautiful white cat with mismatched eyes in June of 2016, much to Choa's surprise. Horangi is deaf, but by no means any different from any other cat on this Earth. Choa has fallen in love with him quickly and it seems to be pretty mutual, since whenever Choa is in Woobin's room he eventually finds his way over to curl up somewhere near her.

No Minwoo - Minwoo oppa. She's the structure to his mess, keeping him calm sometimes and helping with the aftermath when she can't. His mother guest lectured in one of her classes one year and she learned quickly that the topic of Mother Dearest was not to be touched ever. Not even with a ten foot pole.

Momo and Tsuki - Minwoo's pets! The white fluffball pair are two of Choa's treasured neices. Momo, the pomerainian, is playful and cuddly and Tsuki, the Turkish Angora, is... well she's a cat... and not a super affectionate one toward Choa, that's for sure. Choa's convinced that Tsuki can tell that even though she is a cat-like-human herself the white cat just knows that Choa bonds quicker with dogs.

Min Yoongi - Fellow musician and DTD brother, Choa and Yoongi have been working together off and on when it comes to music and performances for over a semester noe and have become fairly close. Whenever Choa needs a skilled ear for a new piece of music, whether it's just for opinions or actual help, Yoongi is her man for the job. The two have a shared love of naps, coffee and chocolate too, which is always a bonus for both of them.

Nari - Yoongi's white scottish fold kitten. He was the runt on his litter, but every time Choa visits this tiny little fluffball seems to have doubled in size and has only become more curious about his home at DTD. Choa looks foward to spoiling this little one as much as she spoils all the other pets in her life!

Seo Inguk - This curiously brooding BCT oppa is no new face to Choa now. He broods a lot like Woobin, in fact she's pretty sure that Inguk is a more hostle version of what Woobin would be if he had his voice still. Needless to say this does not stop Choa from annoying the living shit out of him all the time. Siblings, is what they are now, mess with one of them and you get the other to deal with too.

Juliet - Inguk's pug puppy! Precious Puppy Companion, as Choa often refers to her, Juliet is admittedly Choa's most favorite neice. The pup is energetic and cuddly and absolutely loves visiting her Auntie Choa as much as her dad will let her. Choa enjoys and often looks forward to days where she's asked to take care of the pup. They always have so much fun!

Kim Taehyung - Fellow art student, DTD brother and Choa's baby brother from another mother. They're practically the same person most of the time and therefore get along swimmingly. They're so close now that they literally look at each other as brother and sister and best friends, always there when the other needs them, always trying to help the other succeed and always cheering each other on.

Merlin - Taehyung's pet rat. Most people get grossed out by the idea of a rat as a pet, but Choa actually was excited to hear about Taehyung wanting to get one as a pet! In fact she was there the day that Taehyung picked Merlin out at the pet store and she drove them both home to DTD! Being the only nephew that Choa currently has Merlin gets minopoly over the title of cutest nephew. He abuses the title well.

Jeon Jungkook - Freshman. This boy caught Choa's eye even before she knew his name but their friendship has taken most of his first semester at the school to be built up! Having similar interests in music and art helped and their mutual friendship with Taehyung only made things better and easier. Jungkook is now a little brother that Choa is very protective and supportive of. Which is great because he's now dating her baby brother!

Bonnie - Jungkook's Italian Greyhound pup. Bonnie is a new addition to Choa's collection of pet nieces and the two have really only met once. Someday Choa hopes to be able to play with Bonnie the same way she gets to play with Juliet, but that is Jungkook's call to make!

Kim Namjoon - BCT brother and mister "I forget to eat 90% of the time." Choa took it upon herself to make sure that he was fed a few semesters back and now she's constantly worrying about whether he ate or not. He is always nagging her about her habit of worrying when she shouldn't. She's trying to not worry as much, but it's a very hard thing for her to not do sometimes!
