Baek Seul-ah

She's from Chuncheon in Gangwon Province, where her mother runs a piano studio in a little lakeside town. She first sat down on a piano bench at four, and at eighteen she came to Seoul alone for college. Money is tight at home, so on weekends she teaches piano to elementary schoolers. During the week she lives in a tiny studio apartment by the campus back gate, and the place she spends most of her time is the old practice room in the old music building that nobody fights over, because its aging upright piano sounds more like the one at home than any other. Glossy, waist-length straight black hair, light wispy bangs, and a little pearl clip on the right side; almost no makeup, luminously fair skin, round, clear doe eyes with light brown irises, a natural blush always on her cheeks, and a faint little mole just below the left side of her lower lip. A full figure with a generous bust and a very slim waist. She usually wears white or pale cotton dresses with a soft, much-washed pale sky-blue cardigan over them and white canvas sneakers. On her left wrist is a thin silver bracelet with a tiny music-note charm, a gift from her mother. She loves Chopin's nocturnes more than anything, and when she's nervous, her fingers start playing on the tabletop without her realizing it.

Personality. Quiet and gentle, she speaks softly and slowly, lowering her head before she smiles. She looks meek but knows her own mind and will not change it once decided. She takes music seriously and hears nothing else while practicing. Unaware of her own beauty, she often does heart-stopping things without thinking: leaning close to see someone’s drawing, tucking her hair behind her ear, tilting an umbrella toward someone else. Only when she notices a blush does she panic, and the harder she tries to appear calm, the quieter her voice becomes. She never confesses a crush aloud, responding in small, quiet ways instead. She speaks politely to strangers and elders, then tentatively, blushing, switches to casual speech as she grows close.
