hair style
Piyeone's natural hair color is hazelnut brown but she has since dyed her hair many times, and it is currently a faded light pink. Her hair is usually worn long with occasional braids which compliment her wavy locks well. Sometimes she does iron it straight but not too often and there are many days she decides to leave it at least somewhat messy.
physique
Piyeone is rather physically fit for a such a small woman. Trained by at Blackwood Academy for most of her life included many physical activities including but not limited to Contemporary dance, martial arts, fencing. From a glace she looks rather soft and small but her body is quite toned and adept to physical strain. She is quite flexible and rather adept in dance beyond just Contemporary, as well as gymnastics, her two favorite activities.
attire
Piyeone's wardrobe is incredibly varied and really depends on who, what, when, where, and why. She has a large collection of traditional Hanbok and dresses from her time at Blackwood Academy as well as heirlooms left by her parents. It's not uncommon for her to wear outfits that are rather modern and casual but unmistakably high fashion as well as incredibly expensive. She often opts to dress in a variety of aesthetics to express herself as much as possible.
psyche
I am so many more things than you could ever know. No matter who you meet, they're all me. I am genuine, and I exist. There's only one me, and you better be watching because there won't ever be another.

positive traits
Bright Spirit
Piyeone has always been a warm and comforting person. She strives to making herself and those around her happy. Having a good time and looking to the future with stars in her eyes has always been a trait Piyeone had carried ever since she was a child. Her methods for helping people aren't always clear or even kind, but to her it's all a means to a better outcome for everyone. At the end of the day she just wants everyone to be content and able to smile.
Focus and Drive
Piyeone has incredible determination and tenacity. Telling her something can't be done is simply asking to be proven wrong. Still she's no fool, and only handles things within her ability. If it's not, she work until it is. At Blackwood Academy the pressure of excellence and success was crushing, but she's always been confident she can bear the weight on her own, no matter who or where it came from. To Piyeone growth and improvment are endless goals to acheive and nothing feels better than making headway in the face of adversity.
Big Heart
To say that Piyeone has lots of love to give is an understatement. When she likes someone or something, she'll put her all into that person or that thing. Whether it's her older sister, her parents, her friends, her lovers, etc, the young woman will never give up on them, and give her utmost attention and focus when needed. Even if they end up clashing, or fall away from each other, she'll always have a piece of her heart dedicated to that person. Her love is absolute and eternal, and there's always more to give.
Capable and Independent
Piyeone can take care of herself. Despite what people might think, though it would be obvious to those who met her, that the girl is mature, well rounded, and self sufficient She doesn't take shit from anyone and she is more than ready to turn the tables. While being physically prepared to defend herself, Piyeone does well to handle herself mentally, especially offensively. Someone once said that Piyeone was "The kind of girl who could cut down a mountain with a glance, like in an anime or something." An accurate assesment.
negative traits
Snarky
Piyeone can be incredibly snarky even unintentionally, easily going overboard and hurting others. If she feels attacked or threatened, regardless of the validity of her feelings, Piyeone will bite back hard. She doesn't pull punches for anyone, not even her own family, though depending on the situation she'll hold her tongue but that won't be enough to keep the posion from dripping out. Her bad side is something to be avoided at all cost to avoid unnseccary harm to any and all persons, including herself. A Queen Bee in a Princess's robes. Piyeone's sister used to tease that she had nearly choked on a wasp as kid and that there's a hive growing inside her that should never be disturbed. If only her sister knew how right she was..
Poor Communicator
Piyeone, as much as she loves to give aid and is often quite good at getting things done, she's also often stuck in her own head and rarely shares her thoughts with others, coming up with plans and ideas without telling anyone else what she's doing even if doing so would prevent people from misunderstanding her actions or at least give those around her peace of mind. Her mind is a steal trap but it's unable to open in most cases. Anything that goes on within stays within. There are many times when one may find her quiet, near mute and getting her to speak is a near impossible challenge, a sign she's got a lot on her mind.
Manipulator
Piyeone is a kind girl, she loves to assist, and she's also the kind of person who works hard to get things done. She'll do anything to reach that, or even to help others, especially manipulation. She gives and keeps information only as it pertains to the end result she's looking for, it's not rare to see her using any means to get this done. Setting someone up, or goading, lying, and sneaking her way into getting what she desires are ever open options in her tool belt for reaching any end goals she's set.
Mentally Condensed
In tandem with her problems of communication, the iron walls of her mind can act as casing that holds in all of her negative feelings, thoughts, and ideas. Just letting them bounce around and collide endlessly, build, multiply, fester, metastasize out of proportion. As Piyeone is so good at holding these in beyond what would be healthy, her mental landscape is in this sense, is more like the inside of a nuclear device waiting to reach critical mass. When it's finally triggered the end result is almost impossible to predict. It could be fits of crying, self doubt, hate, rage, recklessness, mania, or more. She only has so many cathartic outlets and without them, Piyeone is a ticking time bomb.
miscellaneous
likes
- Coffee, the smell of coffee, cafes and their environment. Sipping brew on a gloomy and hazy morning, listening to Jazz, and reading a good book in the back of the shop is the perfect morning.
- Books, the smell of books, libraries, bookstores, and their aesthetics are similar in taste, and Piyeone loves them just the same. Reading for knowledge or reading for pleasure, either are a delight.
- Outdoors are one of her greatest delights. Being surrounded by nature, working in a garden, or exploring a forest, there's always something to appreciate and discover.
- The Night is more than just a time to Piyeone, but an entire world shifted from the status quo of the light of day. Everything is different, unique and wonderful at night. Often silent, and sometimes rather loud, spooky, or even terrifying, it can also be infinitely new, and humbling to exist in this world of night. Piyeone is one such person who feels most at home in it's embrace.
- Clubs, parties, the underground scene is something that most wouldn't expect from the small girl, but in reality they're one of her greatest escapes. Piyeone looks for excitement to counter balance her need for soothing respite, where she use her self expression to it's fullest without no restraint.
dislikes
- Stand Up Comedy, she just thinks it's stupid, that's about it.
- Environmental Disruption, when it comes to keeping the earth clean and healthy, there are few others who will judge your harder for a lack of respect for the environment. Littering, disregard for fire safety, animal cruelty, etc are more than enough to put you on her kill list.
- Ornithophobia, Piyeone is absolutely terrified of birds. All kinds of birds, even small song birds are enough to make her anxious. Crows, and other large birds will usually cause her to flee the area. Seriously, there's nothing on this planet that could get her near one.
- Hospitals, after spending six months in a mental institution after a manic episode Piyeone is extremely anxious of hospitals and especially mental care facilities. Not necessarily because she had a bad experience with them, but more so because her admittance was quickly covered up by Blackwood Academy, she fears it becoming public knowledge, and will dodge the subject whenever possible.
hobbies
- Gardening and Landscaping, is one of her more mundane favorite activities. Her garden is usually a reflection of her mind, and she'll change it as often as she changes her mind. You may find Black Baccara Roses and Queen of Night Tulips in her large plot or you could come across large Sunflowers surrounded by bright blue Hydrangea. Anyone who knows her well enough would be able to guess her mental state by her garden.
- Exploring and Night Walks, being by herself is often where you'll find Piyeone if you just look. She made be slowly wandering down the middle of the inactive streets or stomping her way through a forest singing to herself. If you do come across her, she may just invite you along, to show you the wonders in her world of night.
- Dancing and Gymnastics, keep her busy whenever she's stuck inside or when she gets a chance to sneak out to a club. Though she may beat herself up over any small mistakes, they keep her feeling free and active, but don't ask for her to dance for you or will end up with a blood nose, from her fist.
- Reading and Writing, help keep her mind constrained when she needs to feel small, comforted and cozy. Jotting down her mind into her diary, is one of the few ways Piyeone can
background
Getting Lost in the Woods for Three Days
When Piyeone was just a small child she often stayed inside most the time and never really did much of anything. She didn't have any friends or anyone her age to spend time with. Her parents were almost never home, going out and spending time with each other rather than their own children. Aunt Rin was the usual babysitter, but sometimes it was just Katie left to look after her younger sibling. While the two got along rather well, Katie was much older, with other things to do, and friends to to hang out with. This didn't bother Piyeone too much, as the small child was just fine on her own, which lead to Katie sometimes leaving her little sister in the house alone, assuming there wouldn't be an issue. For the most part, there wasn't. Piyeone just sat in her room and read until she fell asleep.
Until one day when the young girl noticed her sister had forgotten her iPod which was a rather rare occurrence. Trying to get it to Katie before she left caused Piyeone to run outside without unlocking the door. By the time she had left the house, Katie was no where to be found, and when trying to get back inside, she found herself trapped. Every door was locked tight, a precaution meant to keep her safe, now an endless source of dread as Piyeone pounded on the wood for over an hour, crying to get back in. She cried until there were no more tears to cry, and did the only thing such a young child could think of. She set off into the woods, hoping to find the club her sister often went to which she knew was vaguely somewhere on the other side.
With no sense of direction, scale, or experience in what she was doing Piyeone got lost rather quickly. Nightfall wasn't to far behind either, lucky that it was summer the poor child wasn't going freeze to death. After some time, she broke down and fell asleep at the trunk of a large tree, completely unaware of Katie frantically searching for her only a hundred feet away.
When Piyeone woke in the morning her stomach was terribly grouchy but she also hadn't had anything to drink since she'd left home, so she set off in search for something to quench her thirst.
After a few hours she finally found a small stream which just so happened to be lined with blackberry bushes of which she knew was safe to eat, Auntie Rin having taught her about poisonous and edible plants in the area not too long ago. She set up a small tea party with a few sticks in place of her stuffed toys and poured the water over them by hand. The charade continued for some time until Piyeone began to break down and cry with refreshed tears once again tiring herself out until she fell asleep. Though this time when the girl awoke it was pitch black, at least until the moon shown itself for a few brief minutes which gave her a false sense of security to get up and start looking for a way home, until she knocked over one of the sticks she had set up hours earlier.
A sickening crunch accompanied by the loud snap of metal hitting metal, the reverberation ringing out for what seemed like forever. Piyeone was frozen in place, terrified, mortified at the sight before her. A bear trap had obliterated the stick that she had served fake tea too earlier that day. Then, it was gone. Everything was gone. The moon had hidden itself behind the clouds once more, and it was all just black.
Carefully, Piyeone sat back down, and cried.
After some time she remembered the iPod in her pocket that she had meant to give to her sister. Through watery eyes she managed to select a random song and began to sing along, trying her hardest not to give in to the fear the rattled her bones. At one point she had ended up screaming the lyrics more so than singing, pushing herself through fits of tears, until once more, the small, weakening, starving girl lost herself to the grips of slumber.
This time, when she woke up, it wasn't in the forest, but a hospital. An IV drip giving her the nutrients she so desperately needed, and learning her stomach had to be pumped from the unsafe water, as well as having to take antibiotics to prevent her from getting an infection.
Katie was there, holding onto her younger siblings hand so tightly it almost hurt. Auntie Rin stayed outside watching through the window worriedly but wanted to give the girls time together, having already more than scolded Katie for being so reckless and careless.
The pain Piyeone saw in her big sister's eyes was almost unbearable to watch.
Weakly, with a raspy, coarse, and rough overly strained voice, Piyeone began to sing the songs that had carried her through the previous night. After a few moments Katie, with a quivering lip, began to sing along, and they sang until sleep once again came to collect their sorrows.
Aunt and her wife
Rin & Chinmi Tae
(surrogate parents)
Piyeone doesn't actually know that much about her actual parents only that after sending her to Blackwood Academy they ran away together and were never seen since. There was never any suspect of foul play, they just abandoned everything and were gone. Leaving Piyeone and her older sister Katie with their Mothers sister. Whenever Piyeone would come home from the Academy whether for holiday or otherwise she would spend a lot of time bonding with her new guardian and surrogate Mother. The two of them got along very well, even if there friction every once and a while, often due to Piyeone throwing a fit about not getting something she wanted.
Eventually Aunt Rin got married and changed her last name. The new addition to the family was a bit tough for Piyeone and it was hard to be around Chinmi but eventually they warmed up together, especially after taking the young girl to one their business meetings where she gained a lot of respect for her new parent. They've had a rather healthy relationship ever since, though unlike Rin, Chinmi is much better are keeping Piyeone in check. A true power house of the family.
childhood
Blackwood Academy
Blackwood Academy for girls was where Piyeone spent most of her life, not even knowing her parents had abandoned her there for the entire first year. The school was mostly for rich kids from all over the world representing their home countries and learning a myriad of skills to carry their futures. Piyeone being from America but with strong Korean heritage felt rather out of place in Hanbok, learning and performing traditional dances, Korean, among other things that she had known next to nothing about. Though over the years it was something got rather used to, and it seemed to impress her Aunt and Chinmi enough so she kept at it, while also branching off to learn other things including gymnastics and contemporary dance.
The other girls at the Academy were like her, pushed into learning about their respective countries of origin, but unlike Piyeone, most of them had already lived there, and seemed much more comfortable time fitting in with the other girls. It wasn't until Piyeone met Elizabeth that she had a real friend, and her first girlfriend. While understanding her homosexuality was a story of it's own, Elizabeth was an influence that shaped Piyeone forever.
After their break up, Piyeone poured herself into her studies and school activities. She ignored everyone around her, especially Elizabeth, feeling so hurt and confused, it continued to to bear down on her more and more. Eventually it all became to much and Piyeone's timer ran out. She exploded into a frantic manic episode, found mumbling unintelligible lyrics to a song long forgotten, to herself while crying profusely. Her ankle was bloody and swollen, having landing wrong while overworking herself practicing a dance routine she wasn't meant to do alone. The failure and pain was the pulled pin that had finally set her off.
For six months she was admitted to a mental institution before returning to the Academy for two more years. While he body healed, the scars left in her mind were deep. The things the other students said about her, the rumors, behind her back or otherwise. To Piyeone, those hurt more than any kind of physical pain. The fear of losing control, of becoming that again, have never left her, and may haunt her for a long time after. Though, the one person who came to visit her other than family, Elizabeth, changed her life once again, and may have been Piyeone's one saving grace.
First Girlfriend
Elizabeth Park
Meeting Elizabeth was a turning point in Piyeone's life. The girl had always been a quiet bookworm, following the rules to the letter, and keeping to the boundaries set for her. That all changed when her first girlfriend started showing her a new world beyond the light of day, taking her to nightclubs and parties whenever they could sneak out. Something the two had gotten rather good at. It was in this new alien environment Piyeone learned new forms of dance, style, and expression.
They watched each others backs inside and outside the walls of Blackwood Academy, together they felt unstoppable. It only lasted so long, but the bond they shared could never truely be broken.
adolescence
Desert Debauchery
Piyeone spent the first six months after turning Eighteen in a mental facility, leaving her out of school for over half year. When she returned to Blackwood Academy she poured herself into her studies harder than ever before, under the immense pressure to catch up on everything she missed, as well as keeping herself away from all the questions and discussions on where she had been for so long. The school had covered up her mental break down which only made the girl more tense on the subject.
Over time Piyeone was able to start acting herself again, mostly for the younger students whom she put on a bright smile for. Still, inside it felt like she was on fire and it never subsided, eventually she'd burn herself out. It wasn't until Spring Break where instead of returning home to visit her home town she ended up on a road trip with Moon Bae, one of the three different girls she had dated since coming back to Blackwood. None of those relationships lasted, but Moon wasn't the average ex, and much like Elizabeth, kept in touch with Piyeone after their separation.
They went down to the deserts of California, Arizona, Colorado, and more, that Spring Break and following Summer. At some point they were dating again, and it was on these trips that Piyeone started feeling alive again. They hopped from party to party, festival to festival, drinking, doing all sorts of psychedelics, and just generally getting into trouble every way possible.
When summer was coming to a close, Piyeone decided to go home to her sleepy home town instead of taking another year at Blackwood. She had been allowed to graduate with the rest of her year, but still had a gap in her academic record, and the pressure started to build once more. The decision didn't come easy, she had lived there her entire life, and she had a chance to stay a bit longer, but it wasn't worth the mental anguish the girl would have to endure. There was a lot she'd rather leave behind, and with only a few necessary classes left, it seemed easier to take them at a public school and be with her family.
She didn't tell Moon she was leaving until the week before and they broke up but just like the first time their feelings for each other never waned.
3nd and 5th Girlfriend
Moon Bae
Moon had always been a wild card, and for the first few weeks they had been dating, Piyeone actually felt something. Even if they didn't last long in the turmoil of their own individual issues, the they kept tight. Especially since Elizabeth left Blackwood Academy, which meant Piyeone was truly alone, at least she would have been without Moon. The one person who could fill such a niche. Even without actually dating, it was clear they had a unique connection.
Though after their second break up, Moon felt more hurt than she had expected. The woman was usually quite loose with relationships, but Piyeone had affected her just as much as she did Piyeone. Then there was the guilt. Having slept with Piyeone's sister when the girl's family invited Moon on a small vacation. Even more so that after only after a week of being apart from Piyeone, she was already dating her sister, and planned to move in with her in the city not too far from siblings home town.
Something Piyeone still has no idea about.

Favorite Poem
To get through life you have to endure as a tree does.
When Mother Nature tries to bring you down,
You will never fall; you will stand your ground.
You will encounter burning flames.
Yes, it will be painful and hard,
But once it's over and done with,
Your bark will grow back stronger than ever.
When your leaves start to slowly leave,
Never fret, there will be more to take their place.
They'll come and go throughout your life,
That's just how it is.
From the time you're a seedling to the time you're mature,
Your roots will always be there to support you.
After many years,
After enduring forest fires and changing leaves,
Your own saplings will fall away to start anew.
Then you'll know not to worry,
They'll grow into tall, strong trees,
Just like those before you.

The left stars in the Psyche Tab are buttons btw
Basically, I just want a slow burn romantic 1x1 using the slight world building around Piyeone as a base.
Posts would be 500 words minimum (not a hard rule, but a standard) and well written.
Communication is a must, we're gonna have to talk a lot if it's gonna work.
That's really it, I'm kind of tired and I just want her to find some love
