Iseul has a variety of styles that they like to try, but generally they dress in more formal shirts and pants.ย Light academia and cottagecore are two words that have been thrown around on fashion blogs, with their long trench coats and thick woollen sweaters being some of their staples. They have white-blond hair thatโs been this way for about half a year now, a blank canvas waiting until the next dye job. Their skin is pale with few blemishes, and no freckles, although theyโve always wanted them. They have dark brown eyes that change depending on the dayโsharp as coals or kind as daisies.

Iseul is a fairly blunt person, never afraid to speak up on how they feel about any given situation. If something is bothering you, and they notice, expect to be questioned on it in the near future. If something is unfair, theyโll mention it. Theyโve built up a fairly thick skin from all the insults hurled at them during their time in school, but every once in a while a comment resurfaces that will have them curled up in an all too familiar position: tucked into the corner of their bed as small as possible as the covers shudder with sobs. Itโs not oftenโthey make sure of thatโbut theyโre always embarrassed the next morning. That aforementioned thick skin is built up for a good reason: theyโve gotten a lot of flack for being open about their gender identity. They learned a long time ago that it was better to be honest; hiding it only gave them a reason to be hurt later on. The comments sting, but they generally try to brush them off, doing their best to ignore themโeven though theyโre more sensitive than they appear. They can be a tad reserved, one of those people who can say a lot without saying much at all. Theyโll tell silly stories or little tidbits, but when you put it all together youโll realize you still donโt know that much about them. They can be intense. Theyโre rather hard on themselves, but they rarely voice those feelings to their friends. (Slowly, you can learn, though: the twitch of their lips, the crease of their brow, the squint of their eyes. When you know theyโre not satisfied, itโs obvious.) They have sensory issues, somewhat. Large groups of people tend to be a bit too much for them, and they get overstimulated easily. They are also well-known to have trouble controlling their facial expressions. They are as easy to read as an open bookโeverything shows on their face.

Born Kang Iseul on July 10th, 1999 in Chicago, to two loving parents with one older sibling. Their parents were incredibly supportive of them throughout their transition, and they are eternally grateful for the opportunities that they got that they are acutely aware others did not. When they were sixteen, they realized they were nonbinary after watching their sibling go through the same type of thing when transitioning. They began experimenting with a more feminine style and even makeup, before settling on an androgynous presentation. It was rough, and they were bullied a lot for it. Their transition was rough, full of self-doubts and worries, but their parents were surprisingly supportive. Their classmates, however, not so much. They had to deal with a great deal of bullying throughout the majority of their junior and senior years, only getting relief when they left the school system shortly before their senior year. Iseul was a dancer when they were young, and it was and will always be their first true love. They specialized in contemporary dance, and it was their favorite thing to do. Dancing comes as naturally as breathing to them, and itโs something that they feel very lucky that theyโve never had to work at. Everything else, on the other hand, has not. Unfortunately, when they were about 19, they fell during a routine, rolling their ankle severely. They broke a bone, and that was that. It never quite set right, as they didn't realize it was broken until it was too late to set it properly. They wouldn't be able to dance the same way ever again. Not being able to do the thing they loved anymore cut deep to their core, and the only way that Iseul could think to relieve themselves was to move away. They decided to take a trip to Anchorage, and later on figured they'd make it permanent.
