moderato

while she wasn’t allowed to go all out back when she was an aspiring pianist, she still made sure to keep them tidy and good to look at. by the time she’s grown out of her pianist phase, there wasn’t anything in particular that daeun was interested in nor good at. the natural response was to lean into the few interests she had which included nail care. 

it’s how she finds herself sitting at a nail salon as a technician. she’s definitely not the most skilled, and she thinks she only got the job because she was good at kissing up to whomever was in charge of the hiring process, but she does a nice job now. it’s evident through the number of regulars that make sure to drop her name whenever they make a reservation. the lady that’s sitting in front of her now fell into that category. 

“you’ve come to see me again! i’m flattered!” frankly, she’s not all too sure why she would come to her when there were much more skilled technicians, but she is aware that she holds a good conversation. for some people, that could be the main reason they come around to a nail salon. everybody knows that what’s said inside a nail salon stays inside the nail salon. 

with a bright smile, she starts out the appointment as usual, cleaning the other’s nails. “must have had a rough month, huh? did your nails not bother you? they’ve grown out quite a bit!”

CHARACTER INFO

character name: lee daeun stage name: n/a age: 25  zodiac sign: aries group/band/position: strawberry paris’ keyboardist & vocals (sbp_02) info links or quick points about your character: profile / tldr of bio

i think the tl;dr version of her bio that i have linked is enough to describe her basic background, but here’s a rundown of her personality!

she’s been through so many up’s and down’s in her life already (went from being overly coddled to completely abandoned by her mother in terms of affection) that she’s very stoic and collected. no big jumps in emotions and virtually appears to be a very calm person most of the times

very concerned about her looks (especially her hands). will dress preppy which doesn’t always fall in line with what people probably imagine when it comes to a keyboardist lol but she likes looking pretty and doting on herself. self-care is the first step to loving yourself, am i right??? 

to add onto the first point, she probably also appears to be pretty emotionless like you can’t... tell what she’s feeling because she always just looks like she’s going through a hard time. closed-mouthed smiles so looking like the :] emoji most of the time is kind of her thing 

to people whom she eventually ends up becoming ~friends~ with, she becomes a little more childish?? again, she was the youngest in her family so she’s used to sort of cuddling up to people and receiving rather than giving. she likes being taken care of and likes having people check up on her; she’s not so Great at doing that herself

family’s pretty well off and even though her parents don’t speak to her much, they never cut her off financially so she like... has never truly struggled in her life? yeah, she had to go through the emotional process of basically being dumped by her mother after she failed to become a worldwide pianist, but she’s materialistically never had to really struggle. even her part-time job at a nail salon is mostly because she Enjoys that line of work and loves talking to random strangers as she does their nails. i can see her being naive to certain real life problems because of that 

otherwise, if you catch her performing at some club or just roaming around at night, she’s not too difficult to hit up a conversation with. she finds it easier to open up to complete strangers, and she’s bold with her words lol not the kind of daughter you would have imagined from a family of classical musicians!!! 

potential plot ideas?? super short, but these are more like bases we could bounce off of!!

it’d be rare but if anybody was ever interested in classical music, i don’t think her name would be unknown. she Was once considered to be a rising star in korea when it came to the piano so maybe your muse oddly knows who she is... or who she used to be lol 

would love love to plot out dynamics between band members <3 daeun doesn’t consider any of you anything more than groupmates, but she does find comfort in the idea of being a Part of something, especially something that she stepped into herself

her background means that she’s a very skilled keyboardist and i imagine she isn’t some power vocalist but rather someone who relies on her vocal tone?? this is all to say that hey.... daeun might appreciate if you say you’re a fan. you don’t even have to be a fan of the group, just her

exes? potential crushes? daeun’s romantic life is still very much a work in progress tbh but i’m a sucker for it all. fluff, angst, enemies to one-time lovers idk give me everything!!!
