APPEARANCE
• Ever since her debut, Hyera had donned a mature look. She gave off a calm vibe during her times with Deity. It was part of the group's angelic concept. Chocolate brown hair flowing gracefully to her chest, with large almond eyes. Her face was quite plump, too. However, as she continued to promote new singles with Deity, she began experimenting a more seductive look. Things have gotten further from there, especially since she had been kicked out of the group. She cut her hair to her armpit's length, dyeing it dirty blonde. Her cheekbones and nose became more defined, and her makeup made her eyes look like she could pierce your soul. She often lets her hair down in a wave, parting it to her right side and styling as to give some volume. During hot summers, she would just pull her hair up to a ponytail.
 
STYLE
• ON CAMERA (Presscons, airport fashion, meet&greets)

 

   
 
• OFF CAMERA (practice, dorms, etc.)

   
 
(yes she loves everything long-sleeved.)
 
OTHER —
• None. No piercings, no tattoos, though she has considered getting the latter. Her agency didn't allow it, though, but once she got kicked out, she'd been having second thoughts about it. Maybe on her shoulder blade, temporarily for a start?
PERSONALITY TRAITS — ISFJ "The Defender" / Slytherin
+ Compassionate, diligent and hard-working, loyal, calm
- Conservative, straightforward, introverted

 
PERSONALITY —
• COMPASSIONATE → Hyera has a deep sense of care for the people around her. She would offer help at any chance possible, whether it's emotional support, or sending her friends food when they need it, helping old people cross the street, etc. She suffers from seeing people suffer, and she puts herself in their shoes. She thinks everyone deserves to live a peaceful, problem-free life.
• DILIGENT → Hyera aspires to be a woman that people can look up to, so she takes it all out on her work. She may not be the most talented idol around, but it's the hard work that pays it off. She never leaves any small detail amiss, and she makes sure to put extra effort in making sure that it looks perfect.
• LOYAL → In her friendships, Hyera focuses on an attitude of harmony. She's always looking for ways where she can find some common ground with others. Avoiding too much drama, she seeks out situations that help everyone find a win, which makes her a good team player in her group projects.
• CALM  → She is naturally a calm person. Unlike most girls, she rarely responds to things too expressively, whether it's good or bad. She would just comment with her honest thoughts. She has a cool head most of the time so she deals conflict with ease.

 
• CONSERVATIVE → Hyera believes that she will be safe as long as she does not act too far from social norms. She sticks to the status quo, which makes it difficult for her to accept radical and eccentric people. She would comment, "We don't do that here." whenever someone acts in any way that strays from proper etiquette. She holds her family traditions very strongly, and she tends to stick to her schedules.
• STRAIGHTFORWARD → Whenever she thinks someone has made a mistake, she doesn't hesitate to point it out. This usually happens when she's working on a group project. She can be sarcastic, too. Most of the time, she would consider the other person's feelings and choose her words before uttering it out, other times she would straight up put up a lecture about the mistake. It's just that she wants everything to be as flawless as possible.
• INTROVERTED → Well, okay, Hyera is a calm person. Though, if she were to admit, it's more that she tends to keep her feelings to herself. She doesn't want other people to feel her pain or sorrow. She would rather stay quite and think than talk to others about her problems. Sometimes it may lead to her silently crying at night.  

 
BACKGROUND —
• Hyera was born in Portland when her parents were visiting her grandparents. The Kwons were a financially stable family. They weren't rich CEOs or billionaires, but at least they don't need to worry about not having food on the table. They have a good share of fashionable clothes as well. As a child, she would often visit her grandparents in Portland, who's always taught her to never back down but at the same time be humble. She grew up in Seoul going to school. She was specifically talented in writing stories and acting. Hyera had joined the drama club since kindergarten, and she would often come up with her own fairytales or adventures. It inspired her to start writing short poems. As time passes, that love for writing grew, and 13-year-old Hyera found herself writing original lyrics. Her mother found that a little useless for her, claiming that she wouldn't have a successful job just by writing words. They got into a great fight and that night, Hyera stormed into her room, blurting out whatever words came into her mind in an incredible speed. It was only a few days before she realized that she had quite a talent for speaking quickly, or rapping (at least that's what she thought it was). She started exploring that new ability and before she knew it, she was already dissing her friend's bullies at her school. It was only enough to make them leave without causing further trouble. After all, she didn't back down, and she stayed humble after it.

By 2007, Hyera had already claimed her title as the Queen of Rap in her school, but her mother still had trouble accepting her daughter's new skill. She claimed that it was unladylike, harsh, and improper. Hyera wanted to prove her mother wrong, so she went into an audition in YG. Sadly, she failed, but she didn't want her mother to think that she was a total loser. She auditioned and auditioned again, until finally, she got into Hwang Entertainment in 2008.

RELATIONSHIPS — 
   
• Mother / Kim Hyejoo / 51 / Seoul Bank Marketing division / strict, high-standard, sociable / contacts Hyera just to keep in touch, barely asks her anything about her songs or albums. Prefers her sister over her because she thinks singing has a better chance at career than rapping. Heavily disappointed after hearing the scandals, almost to the point of disowning Hyera.
 
• Younger Sister / Kwon Hyebin / 24 / Member of Fiore / outgoing, playful / The total opposite of Hyera's introvert personality. She is the Lead Vocalist of Subin's former group Fiore, donning the stage name "Daisy" matching her festive character. She is Subin's roommate in the dorm so Hyera often visits her to send her food or meds. Their dorms aren't that far apart after all.

• Best Friend / Kim "Suho" Junmyun / 28 / Leader of EXO / gentle, kind, mature / they went to the same high school and have been acting together. Hyera often goes to Suho for stress relief or just when she's lonely.

• Ex-boyfriend / Park Junho / 30 / Model / self-centered, immature / Junho still contacts Hyera via text message, which is usually ignored by Hyera. (background explained in Scandals)

TRAINEE YEARS — Four + One
TRAINEE LIFE — 
• After 8 auditions in various companies, Hyera had finally made it into Hwang Entertainment in 2008. At the first few months, she had a hard time keeping up with the choreography, since Drama Club wasn't exactly all about dancing. She easily aced in rapping, though her trainer usually has to remind her to rap in a less aggressive manner. After all, Hyera had only rapped when she felt angry or offended. With enough training, Hyera had learnt to rap in a girly and y way, yet still retaining the savage vibe that comes with her lyrics. Her vocals weren't too bad, either. Drama Club sure had its share of musical numbers, but Hyera had quite a limited vocal range so she still needed further training even post-debut.
 
• Before Outsider debuted, Hyera mainly focused on training the other rappers of the group, [3] and Subin. Hyera would often work together with [3] to compose raps since she wasn't quite used to coed raps, or boy raps in general. She would also give ideas about their debut MV concept, be it a storyline or an abstract MV.

PRE-DEBUT — 
DEI7Y 때여디 (DEITY: 2012-2017)
  Hyera first debuted as an artist in Deity along with 6 other girls. (Hera, Nyx, Iris, Gaia, Psyche, Aphrodite, and Hestia). She was the main rapper and vocalist of the group, as well as being the eldest member despite not being the leader. The group was known for their mature concepts, from calm angelic ballads to y devilish hit singles. Deity was one of the top girl groups in the early generation, usually competing against Red Velvet for the top spot in charts. However, ever since Hyera's scandal, the company had kicked her out. They claimed that Hyera brought shame to the company and convinced the members to act as if nothing had happened. It was as if Hyera had never been there.
 
SCANDALS — 
• 2015 [Dating + ual Assault + Drug Scandal / True]
   Junho and Hyera started dating shortly after Hyera's debut, but they have kept it a secret from public. Over the years, Hyera came to notice that they had a toxic relationship, literally and figuratively. Junho had offered her illegal drugs and drinks when he was drunk on depression. One night in 2015, after a performance in Music Bank, Junho felt that he needed Hyera so badly he dragged Hyera into his car and drove to a pub, spiked her drink and slept with her. Hyera was physically and mentally drained from the incident, and it was clearly visible in her performances. Fans became to worry until one sasaeng posted a picture of Junho dragging Hyera to his car, and further posting a video of Junho groping Hyera in the pub. The company didn't want to admit it at first - it was a few weeks before the company officially classified that Hyera had been ually and narcotically harassed.
 
• 2017 [Same- Relationship / True]
  Photos leaked online of a kiss Hyera had shared with her girlfriend. The two were hidden in a small house in where they believed no one would be able to see them. Hyera kissed her girlfriend at the front door, just as the sasaengs caught that on camera. After the photos were leaked, the company grew furious of Hyera, claiming that she brought a bad rep for her group and her company. Fans posted hate videos about Hyera and her girlfriend, and even shaming Hyebin for having such a ty older sister. With nothing much she can do, the company kicked Hyera out of Deity and terminated the company contract.

LOVE STORY
• Hyera is Subin's senior in their company. Hyera's been helping Subin with her rapping even when they were trainees so they got close. When Deity debuted, Subin wasn't quite ready to let go of her sunbae but Hyera promised that they would keep in touch even with her busy schedule. When Subin finally debuted, they realized that their dorms are only a few blocks away from each other. Hyera would often visit Hyebin to check on her and give her supplies (food/meds/etc.), and she would greet Subin if the younger hadn't already been pouncing her sunbae into a bear hug.
 
Then comes a time when Hyera was responsible for composing the rap for Subin and Hyebin's group's comeback single in 2015. Hyera was struggling to get the company's lyricist to agree with the her. Every time she submitted a rap, it would come off as too harsh as if the person was pissed off at someone. Or maybe she was. That's when Subin decided to ask why. During one late night practice, Hyera sat down alone in the dance studio, paper and pen in hand, just as Subin entered the room to bring her something from Hyebin. Subin sat next to Hyera and saw the rap she was composing and finally asked what was wrong with her. Hyera told the younger about her scandal, stopping just before the mature parts, fearing that Subin would be too innocent for that.
 
Well, Subin predicted right. Hyera was pissed at her ex after all. Hyera then began to shed tears and Subin just can't handle seeing her sunbae cry for the first time in front of her so she decided to stay with Hyera for the night to accompany her.

From there, Hyera felt a spark towards Subin. Subin added a splash of color in her life especially during hard times like that. Hyera would ask Hyebin about Subin's activities just so she can find some spare time to meet her or just visit her during practice. Hyera liked the way her hoobae got mad when she ignored her, somehow finding it adorable. Then one night in 2016 Hyera decided she can no longer hold her feelings in and she just went to Subin's dorm in Valentine's. Subin was alone, all the other members were still out getting food from a nearby market. So they chilled in Subin's room, talked about relationships and the company and Hyera slowly moved the topic to LGBT+ stuff, careful and making sure Subin was comfortable with it. As it was still winter, Subin would occasionally snuggle closer to Hyera... then Hyera decided to kiss her hoobae's forehead. So later that night, they shared their first kiss just minutes before the rest of Subin's group members arrive.

Hyera and Subin were busy enough that it was easy for them to hide their relationship. Then they felt like they should spend more time together when they were free, so Subin offered to take Hyera somewhere safe, her house. They got covered in masks, sunglasses, jackets and all that and eventually got to Subin's house. When Subin was going to open the door, Hyera just couldn't hold her patience and pulled her into a kiss, saying that she missed her too much. Little did they know that the paparazzi had caught that on camera.

Hyera and Subin got kicked out of their respective groups, and fans shamed the idols and the company for their relationship. Hyera felt horribly guilty for what she had started, but Subin tried to convince her to stay in the relationship. Hyera isolated herself from the entertainment world until Subin asked that they should build their own group called Outsider. Hyera was worried that the public would not respond positively and that Subin would get hurt in the process, but Hyera saw that Subin was determined that they would have a second chance at being idols, so she followed her lead anyway.
 
STATUS — Dating
ENDING — I would prefer that Hyera and Subin stay together T^T I mean, Hyera's had one bad relationship already. But since it's Marigold's character I'll let her decide on their ending
 
RELATIONSHIP TRIVIA —
• Hyera likes to ruffle Subin's hair
• Hyera calls Subin "Bibin"... "Bibin-ah, can you play the gayageum for me?" "Aww that's my strong Bibinie~"
• Hyera often sleeps in Subin's house after she got kicked out since she really didn't feel like going home to her mother's nagging.
• Hyera would sometimes let out her frustration on Subin, which would result in the younger getting hurt and/or crying. If so, Hyera would come to her and pull her into a hug and gently apologize.
 
COMMENTS —
Heyyy Mari! (Can I call you that? lol) Finally finished this little app here for hyera XD I hope what i wrote here is enough, I tried to just include the important stuff, otherwise you can ask about further details lol. And I might have included some mature themes in my scandals so I hope that's fine, not too vulgar and all... I mean, stuff like that happens in real life anyway. Oh and I made Hyebin as Daisy from Subin's previous group just so Hyera would have a legit reason to go to Hyebin's - therefore Subin's - dorm. I couldn't write as much about Subin's personality as her app is still in progress... But hopefully I'll be able to update that soon^^
 
I hope you like Hyera!
 
SCENE SUGGESTIONS —
• Outsider should have a YouTube channel! Or at least social media where they can post MVs and vlogs. 
• Group fights? Since they aren't close enough to begin with... and one of the members calling Hyera a "" out of rage and after a few moments of silence, Hyera storms out crying.
• Junho stalking Hyera and tries to win her back and Subin ended up getting involved trying to defend Hyera?
 
PASSWORD —
KARD and Troublemaker songs are good choices! I would picture Outsider having more fierce concepts as if they're proving that they can still be idols even with their boundaries (scandals, ethnicity problems, etc.).
 
Personally I would love to hear Troublemaker's Now <3
