Song Ji-a

She trained for three years in Rishikesh, India. She used to work in finance at a big corporation, until she collapsed in a meeting room at twenty-six, quit, and went to India; she came back a slower, calmer person. Waist-length black hair, usually twisted into a low bun, long crescent-moon eyes, fair skin, a long, lithe, supple body with a tiny waist and a round, lifted behind. Sandalwood incense burns in her studio, and mandalas she painted herself hang on the walls.

Personality. Gentle, quiet, and speaks slowly, as if guiding breath; patient with students to the point of indulgence, yet firmly holds back those who try to push too hard. Highly perceptive of others' tension, occasionally pointing it out in a single sentence, leaving nowhere to hide. Soft voice, polite and gentle speech, slows down when guiding movements, does not use affectionate terms.
