hi!! my name is bee (she/her + he/him, 21+, est) and im really excited for you to meet ryu hana, girl code’s main rapper, and i can’t wait for her to interact with everyone else too! i’ve written a few things (read: a lot of things because i can't stop talking.) + possible connections below! i’m cool with messaging over tumblr dms or through discord, so just reach out (or like this post) if you want to plot! :D
background.
hana is born to a single mother on july 9th, 2002 in suwon, south korea. her mom, eunkyung, while well-meaning and caring, is constantly busy with her management job at a tech start-up, which means that when hana isn’t at school she’s likely being watched by a sitter for hours until she’s old enough to be at home alone.
her father ran out on her mother when he found out she was pregnant. hana does not know anything about him, and with how little her mother talked him in general, she doesn’t really care to find out anything about him.
BUT, after her teachers talked to her mother, eunkyung became worried that hana would grow up to be a bit… anti-social, which she felt wasn’t helped by her being at work all the time. instead, she gave her the option to sign up for anything after-school that she was interested in. this led hana to try out hip hop dance classes, which she actually really ended up liking and took on throughout her school years.
she got scouted by midas after one of them comes across her troupe filming a dance cover in public. while hesitating on the decision, she decided to go for it with the idea that ‘if she hated it, she can just quit.’
trained at midas for three years prior to girl code’s trainee evaluations. she had a difficult time–by not being able to form connections with the other trainees (who viewed her as rude and left her out on purpose as a result) and not being able to properly convey her emotions vocally.
while she was able to float by through evals with her dance experience and potential in rapping, this caused hana to push herself harder in order to make the group; trying to interact with the other trainees left (even if it were awkward), and spending late nights in the studio forcing herself to show any sort of emotion while singing and wondering what was wrong with her.
at the end, she managed to become girl code’s final member! it all worked out, right?
well about that… hana deals with plenty of self-doubt even after making the group, and it’s not at all helped by the hate train gc gets soon after their first comeback. with there being ex-trainee accounts calling her ‘lazy’ and comments ranging from her being ‘hard to get along with’ to her ‘looking down on others’, it’s hard for her not to get in her own head and start wondering if she should really be here, especially when antis and news sites start to amplify it even more.
she has issues with stepping away from her phone when she’s by herself. she knows scrolling through doltalk and looking herself up is detrimental to her health–but it’s hard not to wonder what people are saying about her. she’s not sure if she wants to see positive comments, or negative ones just to confirm that her self-doubts are true.
as a way to help her image, she is now pushed heavily towards variety content and hosting. taking on mc jobs, hosting shows, you name it, she’s probably done or is planning to do it soon enough!
she doesn’t mind the jobs, but this girl is an introvert. her social battery is only on for so long, so whenever the filming crew takes a break or the show goes to commercial, her shiny sparkly idol demeanor goes away and she becomes dead-eyed, quiet, and monotone again.
so why does she continue being an idol? truthfully, she does like the job. even though she appreciates every small break she gets from the cameras, hana likes being on stage and getting to perform. she’s too shy to say it out loud, but she loves her staff and, most importantly, she loves girl code. if sometimes she can’t find the strength for herself to keep pushing on despite the hate, she’s able to find it for the rest of the girls and for the sake of their group.
plot ideas/connections.
with the other girl code members (and staff!) – they definitely know the difference between her when she’s on and off camera, and they’ve seen her struggles since their training. perhaps they find her awake one night in the dorms, unable to sleep from all the stress. maybe they’ll have a heart to heart?
hana is a secret enjoyer of cute things–from plushies to clothing, and even to music. she miiiiight be a fan of sodapop/angelix (she's a big fan but she won't say it.), but that’s something you’ll have to find out by accident. this is also a really easy way to tease her, if you’re a member of one of those groups.
on god this girl needs friends. when she's not doing work, she'll usually be playing video games... if your muse plays games, maybe they could be online friends? or even teach the other how to play one of their favorite games?
perhaps your muse was a guest on hana’s star diary, or they both were guest-starring on a show at the same time. how do they react seeing her go from bright-eyed and entertaining, to immediately putting her headphones on and zoning out on her phone once the show goes on break for a moment? are they surprised, or do they find it to be pretty normal? can they relate, even?
this girl is the ultimate kuudere, and romantic relationships are one of the last things she has on her mind at the moment. but perhaps your muse is one of the few people that is able to break through that cold exterior in her? if she actually has a crush on your muse first, she isn’t really sure how to deal with those emotions. if your muse falls first, they’ll have to deal with her not understanding their true feelings for her unless they outright state it. depending on your muse, they may not be sure if she likes them or can’t stand them. i hope they can deal with slow burn.
hana dislikes genuinely fake people, but she doesn’t consider herself one at all. maybe your muse feels like the way she shows a completely different side of herself on camera definitely makes her one, though, which would piss her off.
maybe your muse believes the rumors that she’s lazy and a bit of a bitch behind the scenes. will they come to investigate to see if it’s true or bring it right up to her face.
