personality : 
introspective, motherly, nostalgic
cheap, prudish, ANXIOUS

the default sensation in kay's gut is that sinking feel when you're leaning in your chair and you almost fall over. she's a very anxious person and is afraid of just about everything. everything can kill her and nothing is safe, and if something can go wrong it will go wrong. call her obsessive, but she has at least five plans to counter-act every worse case scenario that wriggles its way into her head. kay really just wants to live a happy and simple and slow-paced life, and she is often very torn between her quiet dream life and her love for music. kay often second guesses herself, and must do things impulsively, when they pop into her mind, otherwise she'd never do anything.

kay finds herself naturally gravitating to the intellectual side of life as opposed to the social, she just really loves learning--especially about herself. life is a learning experience, and she feels that one needs to find as much about themselves as they can so they can live a happy life. she thinks a lot, about everything from cute flowers to what would happen if the smog from china combining with the arctic blast is really the first sign of armageddon that takes place during the next ice age. kay's really an 85 year old man in the body of a 21 year old girl, she feels very old both in body and spirit. she's learned many things from her own life lessons and can give advice from everything she's thought about. kay often finds herself reminiscing about things that she wasn't even alive to experience. like who can forget the smooth jazz that played behind frank sinatra as he sang? or who could forget old school beat 'em ups at the arcade? kay is in love with old things, and she's not really up to date with kids and their eye-phones and their apple books.

kay has always been more mature than her siblings, and she's used to watching over them constantly. she has a soft spot for children, or those younger than her in general. she thinks they're precious and must be protected at all costs. she's quick to react to a junior's emergency, everything else--even her own inhibitions--aren't as important as helping that person. she has a primal protectiveness over people, and while she struggles to give people space she knows when to relcutantly let go. but if she sees one of her precious babes in distress, she will immediately jump in. kay is a mama bear and she can make grown men three tmes her size cry.

she is so incredulously cheap that its not even funny. you best believe kay's cupon game is so in' raw that cashiers have to pay her at the checkout. if you give her money and tell her to pick up "some tea and a bag of chips" she'll bring you a full meal from a five star restaraunt. no one knows how she does it, but kay always gets a great deal--even if there's no sale going on. kay is cheap as hell and literally refuses to pay more than fifteen dollars for clothes. you're paying sixty bucks for one pair of pants? nah son, kay'll get you a whole new wardrobe and a closet to put the clothes in.

ew no don't make out. why are you two grabing each other's thighs? ya nasties. kay has a pda phobia like ew stop being gross. the thought of... doing the do sends a sickening shiver down kay's spine. she's fine with whatever an adult wants to do in their bedroom, as long as it stays in the bedroom.

-------------------

background & family life : 
the kwon girls were born and raised in cape town south africa. they lived a rather luxurious life, taking trips to different countries on holidays. but whenever it was summer vacation, they'd go visit granny kim and grandpa kwon. growing up, winnie was rather shy, so she'd often cling to kay and they became very close over the years. the girls loved traveling to seoul and staying in their grandparents's big, cozy house. but although they loved visiting the grandparents, they didn't enjoy having to hang out with the neighborhood kids. they didn't like the kwon girls too much and would always pick on them, and kay often took the brunt of the abuse so winnie wouldn't have to. but they did make one friend: a stoic boy by the name of sehun.

visiting years later, when the girls were fourteen and had october in their lives, sehun suggested that kay audition for an entertainment label. she was a bit hesitant at first, but let herself be talked into it and set her sights on sm entertainment. years later, when kay was 16, grandpa kwon passed away and mama kwon's job was transferred to seoul. to accomodate with the current situation, the whole family decided to live with granny kim to keep the old woman company. kay started her official training with sm.

family: 

sister : winnie kwon : 21 : blogger : these two are like day and night, but are very close. they argue and call each other names and cuss each other out over who gets the bathroom first. winnie irritates kay to no end with her impulsiveness and her laziness and her lack of ambition and how all she does is sit there all day and blog. what is she even blogging about?? kay doesn't know. but at the end of the day, winnie is her twin sister and would fiercely protect her sister. they can share everything with each other from breakups to fears to anxieties to the struggles of trainee life. they can cry together and hug it out and then cough and say "no homo" except winnie will always respond with, "you seem pretty homo to me, kwon gay!!!" and then she'll laugh so hard she almost coughs up a lung. 

younger sister : october kwon : 15 : student : october is a girl who has good intentions, but not always the best way of showing it. she often helps kay and dad around the house and keeping granny kim under control. she's loyal like a little puppy and would follow her unnies to the ends of the earth.

mother : lee danbi : 42 : vp of a fashion magazine : danbi is the more outgoing and fun parent, planning trips and making bad jokes with the kids. even though she's often working, she always makes time for her family, making everyone laugh and throwing shade at her coworkers who are fighting for the position of president. she knows kay is a mature girl who likes to do things on her own, but she's still her baby. danbi will often show her support subtly, like kissing her forehead and tucking her into bed after kay passes out from a long day of training.

father : kwon william : 39 : stay at home dad/worker at granny kim's restaurant : papa kwon is kay's ventillation system. he's always there to listen to her troubles and soothe them away. but the two also totally nerd out over star trek and play old school snes games and have intense pokemon battles that are filled with trash talk and shouting but end in ben and jerry and hugs. william cries pretty much every time one of his babies are hurt and is there to rub their tummys, make them soup, and tuck them into bed at night.

grandmother : kim ah ri young : 69 : restaraunt owner : aw man lemme tell you 'bout granny kim. granny kim is the baddest chick in town she's taught the girls all of her tricks for life and is the reason why kay is so cheap. winnie, danbi, and granny kim are usually out raising hell and fliriting with hot young guys and kay, william, and october have to chase after them.

 

friends : 

yeppoji : yeppoji is very spoiled and hates being ignored, often thumping and growling to get attention. she only lets kay touch her, and growls menacingly whenever anyone else tries to. she tortures the family and is ultra-protective of kay.

trainee period : 5 years
trainee life : 
kay auditioned for sm under sehun's pestering encouragement. she got in because her voice had an interesting, husky yet light quality to it. her parents had to sign a contract, saying it was okay for her to become a trainee. kay also had to go through extra branches of sm ent, since she wasn't stationed in south korea. that was actually pretty difficult to her, and she wanted to quit because she felt like she'd never become an idol at this rate but mama danbi wouldn't let her. when grandpa kwon died and the family moved to korean was when things got way easier. she began practicing part time because of school and she also had to take korean lessons. 

she had the most trouble in dancing, but she progressed throughout her training and actually improved quite a bit. kat wasn't as dedicated to training as others were, she didn't practice for all hours of the night and come late to school the next morning. but kay did show committment and would often stay after to practice her vocals and rap on holidays. things weren't really that stressful until a familiar blank face appeared in front of her--oh sehun had returned. kay made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with him, but he didn't listen and actively chased after her, stressing her out majorly.
