Cho-Rong

My OC: Lim Cho-Rong

A deep dive into her lore:

Age: 1,750 (physically 21)

Species: Kumiho

Bday: June 18, 276 AD

Height: 5'6

Hair: Golden blonde (human form), white fur (fox form)

Eyes: Green

Family: Seung-chul (husband)+, Yu-jin (adopted son)+, Si-woo (father)+, Ha-neul (mother)+, Jung-sook (older sister)+, Tae-yang (older brother)+

Backstory:

Cho-Rong was the youngest of three children, born a princess of the Vermilion Moon Kumiho clan. Confident, intelligent, talented and outgoing, she was beloved by her family and the whole clan.

After meeting the love of her life Seung-chul, her clan went to war with the Black River Naga clan. During the battle, she was poisoned. While her clan won and she survived, the poison made it so she could never have children.

In the wake of the war, she and Seung-chul adopted an orphaned kumiho infant whose father died in the battle, and the mother died in childbirth, and Cho-Rong named him Yu-jin.

For thirteen years, she, Seung-chul and Yu-jin lived happily. Then, a group of human dark wizards who gain immortality by sacrificing and draining the lives of human children, attack the Vermilion Moon clan because the wizards saw them as a threat. Cho-Rong fought valiantly but, ultimately, her parents, siblings and, tragically, her husband and son were killed.

Grief-stricken and enraged, Cho-Rong tracked every member of the dark wizards down and devoured their souls as retribution. This accelerated the growth of her nine tails, but also left her feeling partial guilt as she felt she was no better than them.

So she wandered the world, traveling and exploring new places, all the while carrying the heavy burden of losing her family.

Fun facts:

Pets:

Bedroom:

.Jinu will always love music but will go into composing, songwriting and producing. Maybe open his own music academy.

.Romance will become a social influencer.

.Abby will open his own restaurant with some freelance choreography. He'll also open a gym.

.Mystery will retire and do botany and holistic healing on the side.

.Baby will design games, maybe take up professional gaming.

.Ty will run his own marketing firm.

All of that is actually pretty spot on! An idea I had is that Baby sometimes comes into Abby's restaurant to help with the baking from time to time.

I was thinking of what'd they do after retirement also. But mostly just Baby. I was thinking he would open up a bakery, but come to think of it, actually doing so would more than likely upset him.

He is pretty adorable. A certain someone with a B in their name thinks he's cute too~

He has a sense of style that I can appreciate.

Jinu definitely did the "Everything the light touches, is yours" thing. And then added, "within 1,200 acres."

I am a man of oddities. Is that on purpose? Only time will tell.

Hey Riddler, your turn to turn to change Ha-joon.

I think I have come upon a headache, perhaphs a fever, excuse me-

Yeah, yeah, he is. We've just slept with him long enough to develop reflexes in our sleep.

He's not wrong. I've actually recorded what we look like while sleeping. If he kicks, we manage to move out of the way before the kick can land.

He can also start out sleeping on the right side of the bed, and somehow end up all the way on the left. Achieving this by tossing and turning and trying to get comfortable.

He tosses and turns OVER us. If that's not clear, dear.

I don't appreciate being so rudely talked about. But yeah, it's true. I never wake up feeling weird, though.

Because you weren't the one getting an elbow to the rib cage

I thought it was Ji-woo

*Demonic baby screeching*

Spoke too soon

I JUST sat her down on the damn play mat!

You know she likes being held

*LOUDER, DEMANDING DEMONIC BABY SCREECHING*

It was absolutely awful, that's why it's the last place we're visiting for the summer. The ticks would frequently give me nightmares when I lived there!

Acarophobia: Fear of mites, ticks, or very tiny bugs.

this is… better? somewhat?

Children of oriental immigrants were segregated into cultural schools in the early 1900s. But since Baby and his family were the only Koreans in Hoboken, there was nowhere for him to go.

I'd like to think he and his family had neighbors from Hong Kong in the building they lived in named the Lius. A family consisting of a couple, a young boy and an old man, and they ran a laundry service.

Now the old man, named Liu Wei, was a respected and renowned professor back in Hong Kong. But, when the British Empire occupied Hong Kong, his family left to go to America. There, he couldn't get a job teaching again so his family went into the laundry business. However, he saw kindred spirits in Baby's parents, as they were also foreigners in a new world, fleeing from corrupt empires invading their homelands, Hong Kong annexed by England and Korea annexed by Japan. Also, Liu Wei knew the prejudiced whites of the USA wouldn't give Baby a chance, so he decided to teach Baby himself.

Liu Wei would teach Baby reading, writing and arithmetics out of his apartment as soon as Baby was old enough (he also taught Baby to speak Cantonese). The Lius and Baby's family also looked out for each other- Baby's parents would give them free bread and flour when they could spare it, and the Lius did their laundry for free. Liu Wei's grandson, Liu Heng, who was Baby's age, was Baby's first and best friend.

Sadly, a few months before the fire that took Baby's parents, Liu Wei, his son and daughter-in-law, and Liu Heng were shot dead by white supremacists walking home one night.

After Baby was orphaned, Marylin Jamesy took over Baby's schooling because before she headed up the orphanage, she was a teacher for 35 years.

Baby really did not have a good life
