QUESTIONNAIRE

what is your muse’s favorite spell and why?

Aparecium and its vise versa. As someone who depicts journalism on the daily, this specific spell was the first she learned between her and her mother. It became easy to pass secret notes between the two witches or .. during class if necessary. Yuna has always been on the more mischievous side when it came to small things such as so. Why wouldn’t a spell to reveal or write in magical invisible ink not be something high on her list?

what do you think is your best and worst trait? 

Best? Oh her best trait is that lovely mouth influencing others with honey. She’s intelligent with her words of comfort or push to sway. As if she were created to be able to convert someone’s thoughts to her own. A wonderful trait for a witch looking to join law/public affairs. It is only a shame that her worst shows when that positive talent is utilized for her own taste in drama and entertainment. A gossip queen in her own way.

wf your muse had to choose only one between having wealth, happiness or power, which would they choose? why? 

“Power.” The word rolled off her tongue with ease. The answer was simple. She had already lived a life of wealth and comfortability, a diamond spoon feeding her since the beginning of memory. On the opposite hand, though, happiness is not considered necessity. As happiness comes with the development and gain of power.

what’s been the biggest challenge in your life and how did you deal with it? 

An adaptation to another universe would list itself at the top. Yuna was raised with muggles, and by a muggle. She even attended their schools, learned their education, became entangled with them unlike most wizarding-folk. She still remembers what it felt like, how hard it was to breathe, to enter the city and see nothing but magic surrounding her wake. It was ground breaking- world changing. She felt alone for the first time. “It took me a few weeks to fall asleep without a charm.”Over time she had to learn how to adapt. After all, it was her that begged her dear mother for this opportunity in the first place.

if your muse had to live as an animal for a whole day, what would it be and why? 

She’d never admit it. Yet the girl could only dream of floating through the skies like a phoenix dedicated to loyalty and service. Freedom, with meaning. Freedom, with an entitlement for something bigger than itself. "A cat. Who wouldn’t want to be a cat?”

what would your muse be remembered by if there was only one thing that could define their entire life? 

“The half-blood that changed law on the connection between magic and muggle,” as she would say at least. If it a positive or negative memory, Yuna has yet to come to a conclusion on that. But, if she were to achieve anything of prestige or note worth, she would already claim it to be the concept of her wish. A world where magic does not have to hide. Such a ridiculous dream, yet she’s still to learn as to why.

OTHER DETAILS

QUESTIONNAIRE

what is your muse’s favorite spell and why?

the wand-lighting charm; lumos.

nari have always hated the darkness, it reminded her far too much of her childhood when she was still anatasia heo back then. imprisoned in a dark room for god knows how long by her own father as a punishment for whatever misdeeds she had been accused of, leaving her all alone in the dark as she begged and cried to be let out.

oftentimes when a room felt too quiet, surrounded by darkness, nari felt as if the walls were closing in on her. it made her feel that her worst nightmares would come to life, clawing their way out from the darkest corners. perhaps she was being a tad bit dramatic, but nari couldn't help it. the dark had always held her worst memories and paranoia usually crept onto her. sometimes, it even echoes.

so its no wonder her favourite spell would be the wand-lighting charm. a simple yet effective charm that illuminated the tip of a wand, allowing the caster to see in the dark. and for nari who's always been afraid of the dark, the spell would be her greatest comfort as it reminded her that even in the dark, there'll still be light.

what do you think is your best and worst trait? 

she is kind. even when the world is cruel.

the world is never kind, nor will it ever be. nari herself had learnt that lesson at a young age, an age where no children should be learning the grotesque cruelty of reality. however, even the world is cruel, it doesn't mean the people should be. and nari carries that thought wherever she goes.

kindness shouldn't be seen as a sign of weakness nor should it ever be. whenever the world grows to become more cruel than ever, people's devotion to kindness will always be tested. but for someone to give someone a helping hand, whether it be nurture or consolation, whether it be big or small, it is simply a testament of their strength and character.

perhaps some people may thought she was being ridiculous for her still having compassion when life had taken so much from her, they say her kindness is merely facade when that couldn't be more far from the truth. she is simply kind because she wants to be, as nari've always valued on giving others the helping hand they need and being generous in every action she takes because it was kindness in the first place that saved herself from living a life filled with misery, and so she sought out to give others the generosity she was given whenever she goes.

she's insecure. often doubting her own self worth.

doubts has been her loyal companion for as long as she remembered. they've always festered in her mind; hiding, waiting for the right moment to crawl out—to make her questions everything and anything about herself and her own. and hyun nari herself had always been her own harshest critic.

is she pretty enough? is she smart enough? is her magic good enough? can her grades be better? does she have to be better? how can she be better? is she ever enough in the first place?

nari doesn't knows, and probably will never.

she lies. sometimes too much.

lying comes too naturally for hyun nari and she absolutely detests it. it stands as a reminder to her that a part of her is still her father's daughter, and no matter how much she wants to deny it, it was still his filthy blood that flows in her veins by the end of the day.

she can't help it, of course. in a twisted sense of the world, lying became her armour. it protected her more than anything in the world. from getting the burnt of her father's rage, from getting taken advantage of her desperation, from getting exploited by the rest with her own emotions. lying helped her more than being honest would. but of course, she isn't made out of stone; with her still feeling the sting of her guilt, gnawing onto her fragile heart every time a lie falls from her rose petal lips.

if your muse had to choose only one between having wealth, happiness or power, which would they choose? why?

nari seen it herself how people would go mad for power. the prominent example of her father being drove to insanity as he indulged in his desires for control and became completely absorbed by his quests for power. all to the point he became insane enough to do the unthinkable; using his own child, his own flesh and blood— her, as a means of actions for the greater good he desired, making her his living puppet to experiment on.

she seen it herself how abundance of wealth is practically nothing when it wouldn't satisfy others. she seen her family members before her treating the luxuries around them as if they were mere toys and were useless nonsense, taking their wealth for granted as they lived and breathe into their materialistics things without a second thought.

she rather choose happiness. she knew happiness, thankfully for once and loved every bit of it. the pleasure of feeling such joy and glee even with the most simplest of things were just immeasurable and nari would do anything to experience such feelings again. so hyun nari would rather choose happiness  because what's the point of having power and wealth if you're nothing more but an hollow, empty shell?

what’s been the biggest challenge in your life and how did you deal with it?

the biggest challenge in her life would be trying to move on from the past.

she has always been haunted by memories. memories of a girl that was buried six feet underneath; the fragile little girl she used to be, who used to be her father's living toy, his puppet he aimed to use in his conquests for power.

scar and bruises, they've imprinted on her from the moment she could formulated a single thought— the everlasting mementos of her overcoming every punishment she had to endured along the countless experiments she had to go through, painting every inch of her porcelain-like skin. the pulsing testaments of her own endurance over each and every torture he'll conjured against her all in the name of the greater good he believed in.

it doesn't matter that her father is gone, imprisoned in azkaban forever for his crimes, that she's safe now and no longer has to worry for her own life. a part of her is always gripped by the fear that one day, he'll come and get her. it makes her feel too enervated, it sickens her, it plagued her. and all she wants to do, is to simply forget and move on.

how did she dealt with it? by making new memories; happier ones to remember instead, and locking the old away with the intent of forgetting them forever.

her grandmother chastising her to fix her posture, her mother whispering sweet nothings into her ears, her grandmother's nagging her on being a proper lady, the warmth that came from her fingers being intertwined along with her mother's, the airy giggles that surrounded her group of friends as they joked on and on, the warm atmosphere at dinner table with laughter surrounding them, the awe she always experienced from seeing mythical beasts right before her eyes.

all these memories she cherished will be the memories that'll replace the ones that continuously plagued her mind. the venomous words that slither off her father's tongue, the color red that always adorned her skin, along with a purple tint, the colors of his imprints. his cold stares directed at her as she sits by the end of dinner table, far away from the people who she was supposed to call them her family. the pity she sees in her older siblings' eyes, cementing the fact they can't do anything to help her and that she wasn't ever going to be apart of their family, as long as their father would have it.

does it ever work? no, but it will one day. she just have to keep trying and trying until it does.

if your muse had to live as an animal for a whole day, what would it be and why?

if one must truly live as an animal for a whole day, nari thought that it would be nice to be like the animal of her patronus; like a doe. specifically, like the one or two deers that can be found around the gwangseon forest.

they've always seem so mystical even despite them being just ordinary creatures. with the canopy of sunlight reflecting off the doe, like a blade of grass in morning— it was almost as if the animal came straight out of a fairytale story. and for a vivid lover of fairytales and the myths, nari wouldn't think of complaining about a single thing if anyone told her she came out of a fairytale.

what would your muse be remembered by if there was only one thing that could define their entire life?

if there was one thing that nari would like to be remembered by, the one thing that could define her entire life; it would her love and compassion for magical beasts. she's always been so fascinated by them, ever since her mother took her to visit the silheungdo research facility where she worked as a researcher after her retirement from being an auror. she was in absolute awe of the magical beasts and immediately developed an interest in them after experiencing various encounters with them at the facility and immediately want to know more. with her admiration and passion over magical creatures growing day by day, she decided she wanted to become a magizoologist or either a researcher like her mother at silheungdo research facility where she hoped to worked to study as well as improving the conditions of the environment for magical beasts so they can thrive.

QUESTIONNAIRE

what is your muse’s favorite spell and why? 

"i guess my favorite spell has to be the one i use most, right? in that case, any household related spell. i don't like washing my dishes or vacuuming, so i prefer to do that with the flick of a wand. work smarter, not harder."

what do you think is your best and worst trait? 

"my best would be that i'm very dependable, even if i'm not feeling particularly well. i know how to keep my cool and focus on the task, which i think is pretty positive... or maybe this is both my best and worst quality, actually. i never ask for help or tell people how i'm feeling. i don't know how to be vulnerable, you know? it's a bit of an awkward thing to admit, but the idea of being anything less than perfect is horrifying to me."

if your muse had to choose only one between having wealth, happiness or power, which would they choose? why? 

"can i choose neither? i just don't think any of those are things you should get to choose. all three should be earned instead, especially happiness. i feel like that's always the hardest one to come by because it requires you to be at peace with yourself. so, i guess, if i were to be forced to choose one of those... it would be happiness. but that doesn't mean i'm with this whole picking and choosing business. but like, if i had to. if there was no other choice. then i would."

what’s been the biggest challenge in your life and how did you deal with it? 

"losing the people i love the most. my parents, for example. i foolishly believed their words and idolized them for so long. when i finally realized the truth, it hurt more than anything. then i lost an old friend of mine, too... i don't know how i dealt with any of that. i really wish i had an answer, but i don't. when you can't change something, you have no choice but to move on."

if your muse had to live as an animal for a whole day, what would it be and why? 

"i would love to be a house cat. all i'd have to do is sit in the sun, eat, and sleep. perhaps get my head scratched every now and then or play with those fun little laser pointers. it sounds like a nice way to be; to do nothing but still be loved and cared for."

what would your muse be remembered by if there was only one thing that could define their entire life? 

"i think that has already been decided. the whole thing about my family being dark wizards and overall horrible people to the point they got imprisoned for the shit they did? because i gave them up? that one. forgive me, but i don't really have much to say about that. i wish to be remembered for other things, like being good at quidditch and potions, but alas."

QUESTIONNAIRE

what is your muse’s favorite spell and why?

chaerin considers lumos to be her protection spell. it was one of the first she'd learned from her father as a child and always keeps her safe from the dark.

what do you think is your best and worst trait? 

she's well aware of one of her biggest flaws - she often hears others whisper about her when then think she's not there. 'rin is so naive. she thinks that she can survive in this world just by working hard and being pretty. they're only using her.' she knows that others take advantage of her kindness, some even using her to boost their own status. but she wants to believe in the good of others. chaerin wants others to succeed. while others see her kindness as a flaw, she only sees it as something positive that others could probably benefit from.

if your muse had to choose only one between having wealth, happiness or power, which would they choose? why?

"wealth and power mean nothing if you're not happy."

what’s been the biggest challenge in your life and how did you deal with it?

having to make the decision to leave home on her own at such a young age was (and still is) one of the biggest challenges she has faced to this day. however, she was pursuing her dream and she loved to dance. throwing away the opportunity that her parents had provided her would only hurt chaerin more in the long run. she continued to preserver with her journey through her sole desire of making her parents proud.

if your muse had to live as an animal for a whole day, what would it be and why?

dogs are some of the happiest creatures she'd ever set eyes on. in addition to that, they are also love and adored by almost everyone. "it certainly wouldn't hurt to live as a pampered pup for a day."

what would your muse be remembered by if there was only one thing that could define their entire life?

she'd always hoped that she would be remembered by her smile. at the end of the day, all she wants to do is to keep her loved ones happy. when they think of her, she hopes that all they see is her bright smile. whether it be from a simple conversation they'd shared together in the past or from her performances onstage.
