OH SAERIM

just starting off with this: out and in the open big gay. has been in a relationship with the same woman an npc named yoonmi since forever. love is real. 

33, baek ho alumni, baek ho head of house. #baekhobabes4life

her father ( half-blood ) and mother ( pure-blood ) met in scotland during beltane and succumbed to that ~ spicy magic ~ and proceeded to have 7 offspring 👶🏻👶🏻👶🏻👶🏻👶🏻👶🏻 👉🏼👶🏻👈🏼

saerim is the youngest child, and the only begotten daughter of the oh family. living, growing up, and competing with 6 brothers was not always good™️ but hey, they taught her how to fight dirty ✊🏼as well as how to stand up for herself and how to be brave. thanks oh bros.

was an active 🏃🏻‍♀️💨 student at yosul: was a chaser all seven years of attendance ( baek ho intramural team and varsity ), a member of the dueling club, and also the baking club. 

double majored in transfiguration and defense against the dark arts because she’s an overachiever and wanted to prove she could do it

her father passes away near the tail end of saerim’s last year at grad school. she takes a break after graduating yosul, and goes to a maeobsa university to attain an art degree with a focus in photography, ceramics, and painting.

returns and undergoes auror training. she passes with flying colors, excelling in stealth and tracking as an auror. she’s their ace in a hole due to her being an animagus, which is a borzoi 🐶, the russian wolfhound, known for being swift and persistent in pursuing and pinning down targets.

nearly died on an assignment in scotland and, at the request of her mother and brothers, retires as an auror. 

is asked by the current headmaster at yosul to join their staff as the professor of transfiguration lit rally a month after she retires 💁🏻‍♀️

she now works at yosul as both the professor of transfiguration and professor of arts. is also baek ho’s house master and the dueling club advisor lesgeddit 💪🏻

PERSONALITY 

she’s the epitome of what it means to be baek ho: brave, determined, competitive, a reckless dumbass who won’t back down when challenged. would jump off a cliff to PROVE a point. throws hands, won’t hesitate bitch 👊🏼

emphasis on bravery: came out to her family when she was 17 despite knowing how conservative they are. it caused a rift in their relationship for a long ass while, but they try being progressive and supportive of her since she is, after all, the family’s babie. 

she’s a social butterfly: tries to get to know everyone and memorize names and faces. is that teacher who knows who you are without ever having you in her class.

is really playful. loves pranking students, especially at night while in her animagus form. she’s been called the grim on many occasions, and uses this to scare the shit out of kids who’re out past curfew 🤡

the most loyal bih ever...deadass been with her high school sweetheart since the beginning of time. they lost count, no one knows anymore. that loyalty also extends to her baek hoes, friends, and family.

loves kids, is really good with them, hard pass on having any of her own tho. she’s happy being that cool aunt who gives the best presents.

super spontaneous and impulsive, over all really fun to be around.

PLOTS

baEK HO BABIES. who needs children when you’re responsible for 103581093581085 of them amriite ? saerim’s the housemaster of baek ho, and literally acts like a mother hen, constantly doting on them, whipping them into shape, and helping out whenever she can. don’t actually call her mom tho bc she’ll get an aneurysm 

hag line friends 😔

soft, art aesthetic frens. this is a super self indulgent plot bunny lmao

mentees ! ! ! ! saerim’s always down to teach young whipperschnappers a thing or two. she may be in her thirties, but she stays in shape and can give anyone a can of WHOOP ASS 

you run into saerim while she’s in her animagus form and you deadass nearly shit your pants because she looks like the grim lmfao

quidditch ! saerim played all throughout her time at yosul, and has a couple pick up matches with her friends in the ministry on that rare day off. need advice on how to get better/improve ? she’s always down to give a few pointers 

you got saddled with detention and saerim’s the wall between you and freedom. good luck tryna get past her. she gives the worst detentions: the humiliating and laborious kind.

PERSONALITY

narae exudes two main energies: art heux and dumb bitch. she’s been blonde with micro bangs—you know the type. she takes photos for the school paper, because of course she does.

doesn’t have anything she wants to do in particular, so she scrapes by doing the bare minimum at school. people with the misfortune of being paired with her on group projects say fuck me because she isn’t doing shit.

she’s just here to have a good time, and damn does she know how to, she’s always doing something with somebody—because the alternative is sitting at home with nothing but her anxiety for company and we don’t want that.

has all the subtlety of a bull in a china shop. she’s laughably bad at lying, so she doesn’t even bother. it’s clear when she likes someone and equally clear when she doesn’t.

seemingly lacks an ounce of self-consciousness, which is good in that she could carry a conversation with a dead fish, and bad in that she has a lot of opinions and can’t keep her mouth shut.

observant: she’s people savvy and good at reading the subtext of a situation. knowing what to do with that? mmmm let’s call it a work in progress.

bit of a hobbyist thrill seeker, but it’s very much baby’s first rebellion. trespassing, “”“recreational potions”“”, minor shoplifting (not from family-owned businesses ofc, she has ethics). if it doesn’t hurt anyone, what’s the problem?

“quidditch sucks btw. : ) go play with ur balls ugly.” it has nothing to do with having twigs for arms and not being able fly a broom what makes u say that.

BACKGROUND

i’ll take “comes from a very christian family” for “things i’d never guess” alex. she thought she was ~touched by god~ when her magic started manifesting. she started wizarding school late and was pulled from yosul between age 17-18, just after first year. she’s pretty sure her parents seriously considered an exorcism at one point.

so she’s really behind, and nearly as bad at being a muggle as she is at being a witch. great job parents, really set her up for success there. she’s always down to fight verbally but a second year could probably kick her ass in a duel so no ty. she handles that with a good dose of self-deprecating humour.

timeline:

following his parents deaths (around age 9), dh started living with the maeobsa side of the family (mom’s brother) in jeju.

they’re nice, quaint people. he lives in an actual room and not a cupboard under the stairs, so who’s complaining?

right, oh, he’s complaining. inside anw, always felt a bit alienated from the family—i.e. the obv bias toward their actual son.

but pretty much learned to bite his tongue about it, bc like gma said (when she dropped him off), he can’t be ungrateful.

which really then all that internalizing kind of fucked him up but that’s a story for another day.

placed into yonsul after middle school and gladly skipped out of there.

kind of? popular nowadays with chollimas and everything. 

he’s tryna go pro, ig. but he’s also tryna not treat life so recklessly he withers before 30 (still a wip on that front tho)

personality:

nice? yes, let’s go with nice. he’s nice to look at, carries a nice vocal tone, posture, build, grades, reputation, demeanor. so, yeah, you can go ahead and say he’s nice. note: not good, but nice.

incredibly needy as a person, at least with the people he’s close to. it doesn’t manifest in anything particularly obvious, but if you’re close you’d be able to pick up on the hints here and there. note: the closer you are the higher his expectations are of your position in his life.

his entire existence lacks proper validation and so: strives to be the best he can at almost everything. grades, quidditch, the works. which also makes him insanely competitive at times.

foul? yeah, something like that. he likes his good-boy demeanor, likes to be viewed positively (always positively). but he’s somewhat foul, somewhat nasty to people who test the lengths of his “niceness”. 

lives by the “if you don’t have something nice to say, then don’t say it” till he doesn’t (he’ll just trip you).

connections:

same year, same house, same dorms since the very first year: a bromance pls. 

varsity bros he likes

varsity bros he doesn’t like

cousins from his mom’s side, they don’t particularly talk or know of each other until (will fill in blank here), but i think it’d be an interesting dynamic.

exes, fwbs, (one-sided) crushes (im open to most things!!)

a variety of friends from fake to close to we only talk when we’re in class tgt otherwise lowkey you’re dead 2 me

younger kids he thinks of as a siblings

younger kids he can’t stand but has to babysit anyway

played e/o during y1-3 quidditch but guess who made it into varsity and who didn’t (and now who’s smug)

you think he’s fake as fuck and honestly he doesn’t care

why did you airdrop him this picture of kirby holding a knife

hwang choa

26 years old, pureblood, eldest child and disowned

alumni at yosul. hyeon mu was her home away from home. any hyeon mu students get an automatic pass in her book.

was arranged to marry the son of her dad's friend since she was 15. their wedding date was set for after she graduates yosul at 22.

he left her at the altar. her fiance ditched her for someone else 😔

after that nasty shitshow, and a lot of stuff in between, choa returned to yosul for grad school.

majored in charms and interned at the wizarding bank of korea during grad school.

picked up the bad social drinker habit. thanks dad !

was recommended for a curse-breaker apprenticeship in egypt after grad school, an opportunity she jumped at.

took ~1.5 years to complete her apprenticeship. she came back to seoul and settled there, establishing herself as a freelance and high profile curse-breaker. does jobs for the wizarding bank of korea, pureblood families, foriegn wizarding governments, and the like.

can sometimes be seen at yosul because she's that student that visits her professors regularly and sends them christmas cards

personality

she's very steadfast and loyal

she can be really petty when she wants to be

isn't always the best at expressing her feelings she's emotionally stunted because of daddy issues so she expresses affection physically. she's always giving hugs, touching someone's face, playing with someone's hair etc

she's a happy drunk, always laughing and a little handsy

she's really proud. her pride is probably one of the reasons why she can't have nice things

choa likes to figure things out by herself first before looking to others for help

is prone to putting others before herself. she's probably one of the first to offer emotional support rather than help someone solve the problem.

plots

hyeon mu buddies: choa, despite having her doubts about yosul, absolutely loved her time here and loved all her housemates, underclassmen and upperclassmen alike.

best friends: been together since your first year, had adventures, and got detentions together. you also had the misfortune of having front row seats to choa’s tragic wedding 🤡

reconnecting friends: after choa’s wedding and getting disowned happening all within like 24 hours of each other, choa literally dropped off of the face of the earth. you two meet a few years later, will it be a heartwarming reunion?

she's not looking for one now, but she's down to be someone's mentor. she excelled in charms, ancient runes, and dada. maybe she'll inspire others to take up the cursebreaking career?

drinking buddies. someone needs to be choa's dd, or you both can get hammered and leave the rest to fate tbh

need someone to confide in ? choa's your girl ! she's always been a good listener, and will be there to give you emotional support. but she can't and won't solve that problem for you 😔

sunbae/dongsaeng relations ! choa loves keeping in touch with people from yosul because it validates her need to be a part of something akin to a family. will you be a part of her found family ?

one night stands. the walk of shame, the awkward morning after. she never brings anyone back home to her sparsely furnished apartment. she's the kind of girl that always goes home with someone else.

business relationships! your house needs some new wards? found out that your uncle twice removed had some dark objects you want to sell? choa's your gal. standard rates may apply 👀

exes. choa tried the dating game after her failure of an engagement but things never worked out because she's still thinking about him™️

parents are actively involved in law enforcement, his mom is the one underage magic users gotta watch out for her cause shes the one that’ll bust ur ass :^) 

he’s the nerdy passive only son type tho

one of ju jak’s v own and former roommates with @mmcmin hi loser

smary pants go-getter, spent summers at a time when he could to help conduct research or wtv his grubby eager hands could grab onto to get into teachers’ good graces 

was also an active member of baduk club (*looks at its currently empty roster n chokes back tears*)  and its president up until graduation. was also part of dueling

super gifted in dada related things which *points to his folks* is probably no surprise 

but hes lowkey a pacifist and doesnt want a taste of what’s out there so hes like :) im gonna just study it from afar and never get involved up close :) 

hence why hes doing the magical equiv of a phd and then somewhere way way way down the line he’ll be a prof one day 

along w his grad studies he is a teacher’s assistant for the subject 

hasnt changed much...is helpful, encouraging knows what he’s talking abt, nice ~*~sunbae~*~ vibes

footage of tae to everyone he cares abt 

not a fan of people changing up on him/ppl not using their potential...u know, that kind of teacher in the making lmaoooo but at the same time he doesnt project any idealized ideas of ppl either?? 

makes him a lil judgy tho in the most passive, harmless, private way possible 

got engaged 6 months ago to a childhood friend (currently NPC!!!!1! unless i find someone) who just came back from some all around the world deal but its arranged thanks to their great grandfolks or smth

onto plot stuff.....

fellow former ju jax 

fellow former classmates periodt 

u think he’s too serious but ur also one to talk for someone who’s doing terrible in the class...

ur a pretentious showoff and he’d appreciate if you could dial it back by a couple 100 :)

u got a puppy crush and he’s either oblivious or is fully aware and does nothing 

“baduk SUX” “.....ok....?” 

ryeon transferred into yosul in her third yr!! so it’s only been 3 years since she’s been here whew

basically traveled the world w her dad since she was young and so she’s very well learned and knows a bunch of odd facts about everything

mom died when she was young and dad p much spoiled her in return so whereas she is parts bratty, she is also— lacking on some fronts. craves attention/validation from older girls

one of those knows she’s pretty/cute girls - so she’s a little vain

generally a nice person to get along with, chatty, cute charms, the whole mix

however it is a direct contrast to some of her meaner personality traits (bratty, foulmouthed, kind of pushy sometimes)

have been religiously wearing her hair in space buns (like icon above) for at least two months now

has the biggest crush on @mmharam if you have something bad to say about him guess what! she cant hear. 

boundless energy, loves? caffeine pills and for what? just so she can stay up late and binge read/watch anything she can get her hands on

potentially self destructive (never sleeps? loves to eat things (apples) she’s allergic to? check check) but Who Knows

100% grudge holder even if she doesnt say anything - she’ll just lock it up and feed them till one day you ask her for something mundane like a pencil or some of her food and she gives u a busted/rotted one #petty

plots wise im open to anything from lets get fucked up friends to ur why im in detention again friends(but not rly) (also enemies also??? mb??? idk)
