personality:
Anya is generally a very optimistic girl. She believes in living with no regrets and always tries her best to be the best. She is a cheerful and charming person who has no enemies. She's tolerant and has a really good temper; patience is a virtue. She has impeccable manners and always respects her elders. However, because of all these traits, she is kind of a pushover. People tend to use her to their advantage, asking her to do things for them and bossing her around, which she will without question. Her friends and family have often told her to be stronger and stand up for herself, but she shrugs it off with a smile, saying she doesn't mind.

With other people, Anya is usually shy at first, but when you grow closer to her and she warms up to you, she is helpful and caring. She takes care of people really well. If the group were a family, she would be the oldest sister. Anya however, can't cook. She tries, but often fails to produce good food, and she feels slightly upset about that. Anya loves to sing, and will do it whenever wherever. She enjoys performing for people in simple situations, and used to sing publicly on the streets just for fun.

Anya's flaws, however, include her constant need to do everything right. She tends to put too much effort into trying to be perfect, which is not only time-consuming but also frustrating for her. Anya also has high expectations for herself, which is usually a good thing but can lead to immense disappointment if she fails.

history:

Anya was born and raised to a slightly poor family in Japan. She grew up speaking Japanese and learning Korean as a second language and is therefore fluent in both. All of them are simple people and never complained about the fact that they weren't exactly very wealthy.

Anya had always wanted to become a singer. However, as she matured, she realised that the chances of her making it as one were slim. There were more and more talented people stepping up, and she suddenly felt really... normal. Anya never felt like she was anything special, even thought that was what people saw her as. She has an outstanding voice, but she never realised it. What she did realise was that it would be really hard for her dream to actually come true.

What made it worse was the fact that her father had to undergo surgery on his spine because of his back problems, and that had cost their family a lot of money. Anya knew that trying to pursue a career in music would only burden her family, especially with the risk of her not making it to stardom. Her parents wanted her to become a doctor and earn a good pay, so, not wanted to trouble them, she went along with it. She struggled with her studies because she never had the heart to become a doctor, and it was tough not being able to freely sing in her own home for fear that it would disappoint her parents.

They had moved to Korea when her mother's company's Korean branch offered her a higher position. Anya was 15 years old, and she knew she would really miss the friends that she grew up with and loved so much, but didn't complain. She never forgot about her dream.

One day, she heard about these auditions and something inside her told her to try. She optimistically signed up with hopes of finally achieving her goals. She knew that if she made it, it would be better for all of them if she didn't have to stay with her parents all the time and rely on them for things like money and food, and her parents wouldn't have to worry about her so much. She told herself that if it didn't work out, she could always just continue her medical studies.

Anya was a girl who would do anything to make her parents proud, and she wanted very much to be able to do that. By auditioning, she knew it was up to fate to decide her future. It wasn't as risky as entering a music school and trying to step up on her own. For this, if she failed, she could just stand right back up and continue with her studies. So she did it.
