## Collection Profile

* Base
* Volume Up! (Rearm)

*Gaeun is an attacker who devastates multiple enemies with chain attacks.*

*Gaeun, the leader of HRT Berry, was born in a country where a civil war had been in progress for two decades. When she was getting used to a life of risking it all just for a piece of bread, she received help from an unknown savior-Teacher-and came out into the world.*

*Her only wish is to meet her Teacher again. The reason why she joined HRT Berry without even having a clue about streaming was because Choi Ina convinced her that her Teacher might recognize her if she became famous.*

*She threw other members in panic by not saving a single word during their first stream, but Choi Ina advised her to smile to the camera while thinking of her Teacher. Her bright smile caused thousands of fans to fall for her.*

*Gaeun may have started broadcasting to meet someone special. Nonetheless, Gaeun of HRT Berry has gradually revealed her leadership abilities through her broadcasting.*

*She developed the charisma to encompass her member's strong personalities, such as Lumi's overflowing confidence, Bomi's laid-back demeanor, and Miya's seasoned broadcasting experience.*

*Even when she is not in the center, Gaeun's leadership brings out the best in each members, both on air and on stage.*

*As a result, major entertainment companies have recognized HRT Berry as a rising idol group.*

*Gaeun is now in the spotlight and can smile brightly at her fans, despite the fact that she is still not as good as the other members at dancing and singing.*

*Because she now understands that her biggest fan, Teacher, is always somewhere rooting for her.*
## Abilities

### Powers

* **Enhanced physiology:** As with all Counters, Gaeun has enhanced physical strength and durability as well as some degree of innate resistance to Corruption rays.

### Equipment

* **Gabija:** Gaeun's main weapon that fires electrically-charged shots. It is described as a "seemingly ordinary pistol that harnesses the power of fire and lightning when protecting something precious." Bullets fired can have their trajectory manipulated seemingly at will. Interestingly, Gaeun appears to have two of these guns on her body by default but only uses one.

## Personality

Gaeun is a shy and quiet girl unlike the rest of the members of HRT Berry. Having grown up in a very poor and exploitative environment, she occasionally has difficulty socializing with others and doesn't fully understand common social norms— because of this, some people take advantage of her naivety without her realizing it. She isn't entirely aloof, though, and usually friendly and approachable, and she also deeply appreciates the support she gets from her friends, manager and fans. Even when she was in captivity, Gaeun was the one who approached Lucid, who was her only friend at the time, and comforted her by giving up her doll to her.

Gaeun is strongly attached to the Administrator, whom she calls "Teacher," since he was the one who saved from captivity, introduced her to the bigger world, and cure her blindness. She was devastated to have been abandoned by him (though the Administrator did so for her own safety) and desperately did everything she could to find him once more; she ultimately became an idol despite her soft-spoken and awkward character because she believed becoming a famous public figure would maximize the chances of the Administrator noticing her.

Gaeun is very modest regarding her image. She isn't particularly concerned about her role as HRT Berry's leader or her popularity among fans so as long as she is able to get the Administrator's attention— she even offered to give her position up to Lumi after learning how much Lumi desired to become the next leader. Gaeun isn't fond of revealing outfits either and feels embarrassed whenever she wears such attire.
