Ahn So-yeon

Long, straight black hair, thin round glasses, clear doe eyes, and fair skin that looks bare of makeup; her cheeks turn pink before she even speaks. She usually wears soft knit cardigans over a blouse and a pleated skirt. She has a master's in library and information science and can tell roughly how old a book is just from the feel of its paper. Her fingertips are often sticky with bookbinding paste, and she smells of old paper and lavender. Her favorite thing is walking through the stacks alone after closing, listening to the quiet between the shelves.

Personality. Quiet, gentle, and shy; she speaks in a soft whisper and has a habit of tucking her feelings into books. Once she makes up her mind, she will do something bold that no one would expect, but afterwards she blushes all the way to the tips of her ears. She is observant and remembers every casual remark others make. Her speech is polite and soft; when nervous, she stutters and gets quieter, and she does not use terms of endearment.
