Style: 

Shin Ae is a very stylish and modern girl. She care's A LOT about how she looks, from the time she wakes up to the time she's asleep. Shin Ae is also up to date on what's hot and what's not. She likes to wear short, skinny jeans, and skirts. She usually sticks to shorts and skinny jeans though. She doesn't like to wear really bright colors, but once and a while you can find her sporting a bright yellow or neon colors. She also loves patterns and texture in clothing. She likes to wear fitted shirts, nothing baggy unless it's in style. She loves to wear her big nerdy glasses. She finds them cute and fashionable. Love wearing headbands and hats too. She has a HUGE collection of glasses, headbands and hats. She likes to stick to flats, flip-flops, sneakers, sandals etc. Not a big fan of high-heels. (She think they just get in the way if there is to be an urgent situation.) She doesn't like to show to much skin, though she really likes to show off her legs. However she knows when she's to 'showy'.

Personality:

She is a very outgoing and playful person. She loves to meet new people. She can start a conversation anywhere at anytime as long as she finds that person interesting. She will sometimes act like your best friend even though you guys just met. She just really likes to make friends. Annoying she maybe at first, but if you take the time to get to know her like she gets to know you, then best friends it will be. She loves it when others smile because of her. It makes her happy to see others happy because of her. She like's telling jokes and playing pranks.

She talks a lot. Though she knows how to please others with her words. However sometimes it just gets way to annoying, if you just tell her nicely to be quite then she'll shut . If you tell her harshly then she'll talk even more and louder. She doesn't like to be bossed around. If you tell her nicely she's do it, don't then get the complete opposite of what you asked. She's a very stubborn girl. Doesn't like to listen to others. She has a short-temper and will get mad easily. She isn't easy to cheer up. She'll stay mad for as long as she wishes. When she does, she likes to be by herself, alone. It's best to stay away from her unless you want to get yelled at with hurtful words that she most likely doesn't mean. Sometimes she'll hold on to an argument/grudge for a long long time. She'll ignore you, and will act like you aren't even there. Do something amazing that blows her mind then maybe she'll forgive you.

She doesn't like to talk about her feelings. Never even if she's feeling confused. She keeps them to herself. She also doesn't like it when others see her cry. She will hide her tears and cry secretly when everyone else is asleep or she'll find a secret place to cry. She will act like nothing is wrong and will continue to be her playful self. Though the sad thing is that others will believe her. She doesn't want others to worry about her, but deep inside she wants to feel that feeling of being comforted. She hates when others cry too. She'll get mad for no reason.

She is tends to get jealous of others and she is very competitive. She wants usually what others get that she doesn't. Though she doesn't show her jealousy. Her competitiveness is crazy. She hate's being seen as a weak person that can't do anything. If someone is to say that she can't do something she'll challenge them to a match (even if she can't do it). She hates losing even though she tells others that it doesn't matter who wins. She is sometimes way to cocky of herself. Well most of the time. She seems to surprise herself with these matches. Finding out new talents she has. If she loses she'll get mad at herself. She isn't all that great when she loses. Her sportsmanship is bad. She will never admit she lost and will walk away like it never happened

Background:

Shin Ae was born in Washington DC, but moved to South Korea, for her parent’s work, when she turned 4. She shared her childhood with her cousin Ji Yong. Though he was older than her he cared for her just like a brother and they developed a close bond. Shin Ae had all the right influence and grew up well until she reached her last year of elementary. Her interest in music grew and her dream changed from being a doctor, like her mother, to a singer/dancer. She watched her cousin practice over and over and she wanted to do the same. Both her parents disapproved of her dream, for they believed that becoming a singer would be beneficial enough for her future. Over her middle school years her grades started to drop due to her participating in the dance club at school which was also a secret from her parents. She was banded from doing any of that, taking away her CD's, Ipods anything she could use to get music, and if she didn't raise her grades they would send her back to America. Ae Chan had no choice, but to give up all her stuff. This didn't stop her though, she became more determined. She knew the only way she could practice was with her cousin Ji Yong. And he helped her. He knew she had what it took.
