Hobbies ❥
Gardening - Now that Seong Ah lives in the city, It's hard to see groves and farms anywhere because of the new eviroment and people. To keep in touch with her green thumb, Seong Ah has 3 plants, one herb, one fruit-bearing plant and a pot of flowers that she takes care of.

Exploring - Not like exploring the forest, but more like exploring the world and all the cities. Now that she finally is in Daegu, she explores the city when she has the time.

Play - Yes, she's technically an adult, but that doesn't mean she is can't play. Seong Ah generally plays with pets such as dogs & cats but she also playing card games and gambles.

Fears ❥
Thunder - This fear is weird for someone as old as Seong Ah, but she has it. The fear isn't that serious, but she does get a bit scared of thunder which she often tries to hide.


Spiders - Seong Ah has a bad fear of spiders, and will shriek whenever she sees one. Because she was bitten by one as a young girl, she's scared of them, even the most harmless ones.


Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 400°F. Combine 2/3 cup sugar and vanilla bean in processor; blend until vanilla bean is very finely minced. Sift vanilla sugar through strainer into large bowl; discard any large bits in strainer. Mix flour and cardamom into vanilla sugar. Add peaches to flour-sugar mixture and toss gently to coat.
Roll out 1 pie crust disk on floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Trim dough overhang to 1/2 inch. Spoon peach mixture into crust; dot with butter. Roll out second pie crust disk on lightly floured surface to 12-inch round. Drape dough over peach filling; trim overhang to 1 1/2 inches. Fold top and bottom edges under, pressing together to seal. Crimp edges decoratively. Using small sharp knife, cut 2-inch-long X in center of top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush crust lightly with whipping cream; sprinkle with remaining 2 teaspoons sugar.
Place pie on rimmed baking sheet. Bake until crust is golden, peaches are tender, and juices bubble thickly through cut in top crust, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Transfer pie to rack and cool until lukewarm, about 2 hours.
Serve pie lukewarm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream. If wanted, slice peach in thin slices to decorate plate.

Bio ❥
On July, 8, 1997, Seong Ah was born to the Bok Family, consisting of her, her grandparents, her parents and one elder brother. All of her family members also owned something that most people would find out of place nowadays; they owned a peach orchard and farm. Now, Seong Ah wasn't born in Seoul or any major city to be specific, she was born in the small town of Jinju, In Gyeongsam part of Yeong-ju.
This town was known for its seemingly magical peaches for their vitamin and water properties as well as their sweet & sour taste as well as their floral smell.
Being part of the town, The Bok family had a farm and peach orchard that they worked on during harvesting season in the summer.
Because of the successful season they had that summer of 97', They named her Seong Ah, but little did they know that she would be known for peaches.
Seong Ah was known as "Peach Girl" during elementary school for her homophone and homonym of a name, and it was name that she didn't like at first as a small girl, but as she got older, she lived with the name.
The farm's success has grown as she grew to middle school, the name died off and she started to be known as just Seong Ah and became known for her sunny personality and not so much for her family's occupation. She was known to be very curious as well, and sometimes for the worse.
She lived like any other girl, with friends, school, parents, crushes and what not, but one day, she opened to her eyes to something even more wonderful yet bitter. Seong Ah then went to a eye opening field trip to Seoul one day and she had her bubble bursted. Her world was so small, not knowing that the world wasn't only Jinju and that she could go anywhere when she became old enough, or even with her parents. Then, Seong Ah became curious about everywhere else and made a mistake around her second year of high school.
She went to go to the others towns with her best friend on their bikes and then her parents couldn't find her. Of course, Seong Ah used a payphone to call her parents, but was answered with her worried father and her angry mother.
Seong Ah then became tied down for a year after the accident to make sure that she wouldn't wander off somewhere else and get ran over or something worse.
When Seong Ah started her last year in high school, she began to work full time around the farm, trying to accept that fact that she might stay at the farm until she became an official adult to her parents. Until then, she just needed to stay happy about what she had now and stay about the happy about the small things in life. As she became 18 years old, she then had to start college soon and didn't know how to tell her parents. They needed her help more than ever now that her grandmother was becoming unhealthy with Alzheimers.
She told her parents about wanting and needing to go college somewhere else to get a better job than with her High School Diploma. Her parents hesitated at first, but then accepted her request to go to college.
Seong Ah waved good bye to her farm life and moved to Daegu where she went to live there at the house.

Personality ❥
A nice girl. That's the line the most people use when describing Seong Ah. To be more in detail, I'll have to explain more, alright?
When describing Seong Ah for the first time, most people portray an easy going and benign girl, often seen with a warm aura and easy to approach. In other words, an affable person whom is easy talk to, be around with and make friends with. To add to this aura of warmth and welcomeness, Seong Ah is also quite a content person, grateful for all that she has and often smiling towards the small things in life that make her happy.
Despite Seong Ah's benign attitude towards others, she's sort of introverted in a way. With a quiet and soft voice, she rarely is seen as screaming, often using what others would deem a "inside voice" or a whisper at its quietest. Because of this, some might overlook her or even step on her. However, this doesn't mean she is a pushover. Instead, Seong Ah is calm person who is flexible and known when to be firm or yielding. In a sense, it gives her a sort of composed vibe to her, seeming put togther and unruffled. However, as said before, Seong Ah is quite warm and welcoming, never faking it for the sake of friends or reputation.
On another trait of Seong Ah's,
she's known to be quite curious going as far as being missing for some times a few years ago, scaring her family and being reported missing once. The behavior is seen in her hobbies and habits to roam around, even if it is aimlessly with no certain direction.
In addition to her curiosity, Seong Ah is innocent & naïve, which is why she go around aimlessly without being scared in the city. Because she has never experienced being cat called or in the position of danger because of her small town background, she's sometimes not cautious of her surroundings in the city, where many people live and reside.
To add, Seong Ah is quite a girl, and not in a bad way. She's quite feminine, but not in the lady-like way you would imagine. She's girly in a ingenue-esque way, with starry eyed view of things which adds to her innocence.
Seong Ah is seen to be diligent and hard working, a trait which has been passed down as a countryside farm girl who did a lot of work some kids of the city wouldn't even dare to do. Her hard working temperament often comes with a great fruit of labor which she generously gives to those that she cares for, giving her the trait of generosity. Again because of her personality, she's often generous and caring with everyone.
On another subject, Seong Ah doesn't get annoyed that easily, but when she does it's often cute. Yes, its often not that bad and often gives off a cuteness about her which may or may not get her angrier, depending of the circumstance but she's generally there with a furrowed brow and a pout that gives anyone the urge to mess with her. Fortunately, the girl doesn't get angry often and is level headed.
As for her sadness, she's often a liar when it comes to it. She often lies about feeling bad or being sad, she's often hiding it over a neutral emotion of hers. When does she let it out, it often lets out a weeping little girl who needs comfort from someone and nothing else. But all in all, Seong Ah is just a sunny and quiet girl, who is honestly a peach.
