So, what I am preparing at this moment is, who my new character will be. As much as I don't wanna give up on Erin Heyman because of the Hogwarts friends who are still holding on to her myself included, the situation wasn't the same anymore. She's been gone twice already, the first reason was kind of unconvincing, what more for the second time? And I think, because of my incapability in characterizing the first time, I somehow gave her a shallow personality, a character I couldn't even fully understand. Erin Heyman is my very first character, a character I personally attached myself into, a character I built with my own imagination and I think it's time to let go of her. AND make a new one. Ha!
So, I've been thinking of a few names, celebrity names, hehe, OR NOT! Actually, I already had someone in mind, Another Korean, I just can't get enough of Koreans and their single eyelids. So, from Ahn Sohee tooooooo....................

So, before introducing her to the world of Hogwarts, I wanted first to prepare myself of how am I going to attached myself into this character. I wanted to know who she really is. I don't want to make some decisions that wouldn't suit her personality. I wanted to create a personality chart in detail, where I could always go back whenever I will RP her in the future. I wanted to make a character who has depth, who has emotions, who knows how to live, who knew who she is and what she can do. I also wanted to make her pre-Hogwarts background a SOLID edge towards other students. I wanted to make her likable yet NOT. Because that's the nature of people. They have likes and dislikes. And so, I wanted her to be human. A human who is perfectly flawed yet knew how to work out her way with life. I wanted to explore every bit of her personality. So, starting it off would be....I guess, her personality. I think, I'll have to divide them into, traits, flaws, likes, dislikes, fears and FACTS about her. Yay, I am loving this characterization. From there, I'll try to look for a suitable name.
TRAITS:
So, after writing those letters above, I'm kind of shut down, I guess, this isn't easy as it seems. How the hell did I came up with Erin's personality? Oh, I just acted her out like myself. Since I am unpredictable and shallow, she came out the same.
Maybe, I'll start with this girl's prominent traits, and then I'll just work that way out.
FOLLOWER, CLINGY, GULLIBLE, RESERVED, WITHDRAWN, WARMHEARTED, PLACID, PATIENT, KIND, AMIABLE, HONEST, TRUSTWORTHY
So, there it goes, actually it barely took me an hour to decide on which traits I wanted my character to be. Hehe, I know I kind of made my character as Go Dok Mi (Park Shin Hye's character in Flower Boys Next Door) because I totally love her in there but this Ravenclaw Eaglet couldn't survived Hogwarts if she was that reserved, right? So, I needed to do some touch ups about her personality, one I still needed to study for a couple of days...or HOURS maybe. I am just super excited about this one.
THE NAME:
HANA EUN
Family Background
Hana came from a broken family. Her parents separated when she was 5 years old. Reasons weren't raised in front of her and she was either afraid or not interested towards the matter. Because of her reserved personality, she'd rather stay on her eggshell than to do something that would changed and shake the things around her, the things she spent her whole life fixing. Just like the broken pieces of the flower vase her mother threw while her father was leaving through the door. She knew that broken things couldn't be fixed the way it was before but trying, could make it look like the way it was before. Though she did her best in fixing that flower pot, whenever someone would put force on the table, it would always fall into pieces again. And that was how Hana spent the entire 6 years of her life. Mending the pieces left. Mending her mother's broken heart. Mending the family's problems. Though she knew her Mom was angry towards his father, she couldn't deny the fact that the mother still loves the father and yearns for him every minute of every day. There were times, she would ask herself, why do they needed to go separate ways when they still wanted to hold each other? But that was the way of life. Life is unpredictable, hard and really, really, really weird.
With Dad out of the house, it felt really empty. Though not exactly sociable, Hana could still feel emptiness and the deafening silence inside the house. The loss of Dad wasn't easy to deal with. It was hard being left alone. It was hard being abandoned. And that was what happened to little Hana. And she grew used to it, only dealing with Mom, other than school. She learned how to tend to herself alone. Do her own food, pack lunch, do house chores, and live life independently. The fact that she enjoys being alone made it easy for her to deal with everything that happened. A couple of years passed and Mom started to moved on. That's the best she could do, after all. It was only the two of them and Hana was very happy. She was really happy to have that one person that she knew would never leave her alone. Though still keeping connected with Dad, she couldn't linked the parents anymore. Sometimes, Dad would invite Hana to go have dinner with his new family, Hana would always say no. She couldn't stand being with people she doesn't exactly know. And adapting to new environment is the most difficult thing for her. So, she never had the chance to bond with the new family and her new siblings.
When Hana was 7 years old, her Mom told her that she made a completely wonderful decision. Since Hana's starting school this year, Mom decided to go to her parents' place in London and live there. That meant leaving Dad in Korea and starting a new life in London. Though reasons of her parents separation wasn't explained to her, she somehow assumed that it was because of her father's new family. With him, she had two brothers and one sister. One brother is older than her. Probably, it was something about of him.
Arriving in London, it was entirely different from Korea, not only the place but people also looked different. They seemed foreign. They have different kinds of hair colors. Usually, in Korea there were only black colors, but here there was a variety of them. They have double eyelids too, big eyes and pointed noses. They were also tall, taller than her Dad probably.
If living in Korea is hard for Hana, living in London is even harder. Aside from her reserved personality, the fact that she is not fluent in the native's language, limits her from interacting with the people. It took her a year to start to get used to the London life. It was hard at first but her Mom and her family helped her a lot.
