## Personality

Tae is a formal and hard-working girl who excels in her studies. She's shown in an artwork to have high grades/test scores and is implied to get them frequently, indicating a high level of intelligence. She is also frequently stated to be dedicated to her studies to the point of considering it a hobby, which shows Tae has little sense of identity or self-esteem outside of academic validation, as if she relies on it.

She also appears to have issues communicating socially, being highly reserved, listed as disliking social interaction and having a 'not speaking unless spoken to' mindset when around people. She appears meek and almost uncomfortable, yet doesn't make effort to push people away or connect to them herself. This was more of an issue for her in Season 1 than in Season 2.

Tae's eyebags indicate a lack of sleep, and her going out of her way to try to conceal them with makeup, albeit poorly, shows she doesn't want people to be worried about her. Additionally, she has a habit of scratching at the back of her neck when uncomfortable, repeatedly over time to the point of it bleeding and requiring bandaids, potentially being the reason as to why she keeps her hair long.

Additionally, Tae's hobbies indicate she has little outside of her school life, even with her connections to Mitsuru, Icecream hair girl, Octopus Hair Girl and Wolf cut girl. She appears exhausted from her validation-based lifestyle to the point of considering sleeping a hobby, and does not take naps frequently like most of Raindrop's other OCs with this trait. Stimultaneously, Tae appears proud of herself from this, yet also shows signs of passive suicidal ideation.

(To be rephrased and sectioned into parts later.)

## Background

Little information is currently stated about Tae's background. Going off of her awkward personality and atmosphere, her family life and past experiences could be potentially unhealthy. As seen from the atmosphere portrayed by her tired face and lack of personality, she appears to have a fairly decent even if untypical social life, and has a fair amount of people in her life who call her friends.

In Season 2, she became "Friends" with Mitsuru, along the way coming to know Icecream girl, octopus hair girl, and wolfcut girl, becoming involved with them all in the process. To this day, they seem to be on good terms even if disconnnected up to the current date. In Season 1, she ended up in Octopus hair girl's class.

## Character Development Process

While Tae was originally created on December 28th, 2023 alongside Mitsuru, Neapolitan Icecream Girl, and Octopus Hair Girl, As of January 2024 she has yet to be drawn and posted or featured in any Original Songs, Cover Songs, or Music Videos. No other details are currently available, yet inquiries about Tae's Character Development Process can be made on Twitter.
