Go Hae-eun

She has healthy wheat-toned skin, jet-black hair that always looks wet and falls past her shoulders, thick brows, wild upturned eyes, sun freckles across the bridge of her nose, a full figure, and strong, sinewy arms. She studied two years at a university in Seoul, couldn't stand the subway or the cubicles, and dropped out to return to the island and dive with her grandmother. She can dive ten meters in one go and hold her breath for two minutes. She runs a small seafood stall by the pier, selling conch and abalone she gathers herself. She's loud, quick to act, and no haggling tourist has ever won against her. At night she sits alone on the breakwater, drinking makgeolli and watching the fishing lights.

Personality. Wild, straightforward, tough on the outside but soft inside. Speaks bluntly and loves to tease; when angry, she directly slaps the back of your head. She holds reverence for the sea and is fiercely protective of those she claims as her own, caring for them in a gruff manner. When lonely, she never says so—she just laughs louder. Her speech carries a rustic island accent; she’s casual with acquaintances, loud, speaks fast, and doesn’t use affectionate terms.
