Hyewon Choi

**Hye-won Choi** (崔　暳嫄/최　혜원/チェ　ヘウォン) is a High School 2nd Year at Shine Royal Academy, concurrently holding the title of successor **Kanzaki Mizuki the 11th** (１１代目神崎美月). She's a sexy idol who prefers the brand Astraea’s Gift, but occasionally uses Love Moonrise.

## Bio

### Appearance

Mizuki has a fair complexion complimented with short black hair, barely going past her shoulders. She also has "short bangs" that don't cover her amethyst-colored eyes. The 16 year old's height is among average teenagers.

### Personality

She's credited to be calm, genuine, and elegant. Before succeeding, she lacked confidence. While she still acts bashful, Mizuki has become better at expressing herself and is able to exude great charisma onstage.

## Relationships

* Lucia Espinoza - Her former roommate. Both shared similar interests, although decorating wasn't one of them.

## History

Mizuki was born and raised in Busan, Korea, and lived in a middle class family. She grew an interest in idols at a young age, and while most of the idols she saw at the time were Korean, she stumbled across Japanese idols and later developed an infatuation with Japanese culture, among others. To a degree, you could say it was inherited from her aunt, who's work involves traveling. In days of yore, Mizuki's grandmother had a similar job, and now so happened to have lived in Tokyo, Japan.

Preceding her affiliation with Shine Royal Academy, the successor attended a normal school. On the contrary, with her interest in many cultures, she wanted to be taught international education. ('Till this day, she wants to go to an international school.) Mizuki excelled in literary classes, however; she came short in algorithmic courses. Learning a new language wasn't foreign, as she had began learning Japanese in Elementary. Her next objective was to learn English and French. She's also quite athletic, yet she barely participated in her school's athletic program. Eventually, she began taking singing lessons and grew to enjoy singing. With a steady friend group, life wasn't so bad. (In fact, she would be happy if she never auditioned.) At the same time, the teenager wanted to do more with her life. By accepting the fact that her parents were not allowing her to have a comprehensive education (the expenses were far too high for their taste), Mizuki thought of an alternative.

Having her of transfers at an idol academy in Tokyo, Japan, Mizuki discussed the possible switch of schools with her family. It was near the end of AS018 when the teenager's parents took their daughter's ability to sing into consideration. Besides that a relative lived closeby, the couple permitted her to live in Japan with her grandmother. However, if she weren't able to fulfill her "dream" of becoming a singer, there was more of a chance of her returning home. By good luck, with the help of preparation, Mizuki transferred to Shine Royal Academy.

### AS019

Almost naturally, fashion and modeling became significant in her new life. Common Idol Activities became priorities, especially dancing; which may be one of her weakest aspects. The first month at the academy was solitary, and as much as she tried making friends - as kind as people were to her - timidness got the best of her. Additionally, the pains of being an idol brought her grief. Thus, Mizuki became homesick. Her grandmother, however, convinced her to stay, "As no idol's first year is blissful. Do not allow it to corrupt your mind; ask your mother." After discussing her mother's past and her own future, the idol decided to stay, and for many years more.

In February, Mizuki participated in this year's Hinamatsuri, where she was paired up with Emilia Minato. (In this fashion, this was Mizuki's first performance in the roleplay.) The duo performed a rendition of Have a Dream, and while they became more than acquaintances, Mizuki was unable to fit Mio's needs.

In the new year, she befriended Lucia Espinoza, who also served as her roommate. The two were close, as Lucia was her only friend. However, rooming together was short-lived, as Lucia had succeeded. On the bright side, they still remained good friends. Around this time, Mizuki was offered a solo debut as a test to see her progress. At the same time, preparations for the Sanja Matsuri took place. Mizuki would finally sing her character song, moonshine.

In the Idol Ranking Preliminary round, Mizuki placed 8th, making it into Best Girls. It was a surprise, and it even gave her hopes on her upcoming single's sales. Following, on May 27th, You and Me released. The single barely garnered a million in its first week, and the idol couldn't be happier. For now, though, her main focus was her Idol Ranking performance.

Being the 9th to perform, Mizuki sang Lapis Lazuli, a side track on her solo debut. To many people's surprise, she put on an outstanding show, proving that she should not be looked down upon. Thanks to this, You and Me's sales jumped. On that same day, Mizuki was proclaimed the top student at Shine Royal, and it was beyond belief. It brought grade pride to her family, but most importantly, confidentiality was born.

She was one of the few chosen to form the unit AceStar, serving as the center of that and sub-unit Iron Frill. Due to AceStar, however, Anata wa Hikari - the Idol Ranking single - was delayed another month. About a week after Fate's release, Mizuki succeeded, becoming her oshimen.

Shuffle Halloween was a special event held by the school, where idols were distributed into 4 teams. Her team, Pumpkin☆Patch, placed third. To her, it was no surprise. Although, singing Halloween Night was pleasant. In December, auditions for the school drama Kimi no Koe occurred. While she was intending to audition for the main role, she decided on a minor character to focus on other activities.

### AS020

Besides participating in the school's Game Day, she took part in the Hinamatsuri, where she fell two places from last year's. Other things were on her mind that she wasn't fazed by her placement. With the arrival of new students, she helped as a tour guide to one; and while she did lose Sally in their break, Mizuki was cheered up after getting to know Waka better.

After almost a year since her previous release, Mizuki finally released another single - though this time, it would be sold digitally. Although it failed to surpass You and Me's sales, Black and White still achieved 1 million downloads.

## Idol Activities

### Aura

Mizuki's aura has a faint, gassy appearance with patches that surround her like a disc. Small star fragments and other particles appear within it.

Subsequent to succession, the disk has moved away from the idol's body and increased in magnitude Fragmented stars also have slightly grown, now resembling crystals, while there are more colorful particles within the ambiance. Shooting stars fly above her and fade away frequently, and the last notable change is the several moon phases slowly flickering around.

### Skills

The 16 year old prospers in various conditions. As an idol, her praised skill is her charisma; singing is closely behind. While she's shy pretty much elsewhere, she completely changes when stepping foot onstage. It's notably scary how quickly her expression changes, but it only goes to show that practice makes "perfect". Following, her voice is described as sweet and sensual, although she's learning how to reach deeper tones.

While she considers her dancing not the best, she isn't terrible at all. In reality, she lacks stiffness and can keep up with complex choreography - only with enough practice, of course. When singing and dancing, Mizuki is quite stable.

As seen in her AS019 Idol Ranking performance, she's able to play guitar. In addition, she managed to pull of an appeal that didn't coordinate with her coord's brand.

Mizuki is fluent in Korean (native language) and Japanese; she's still learning how to speak English. Although, she could hold several conversations in the latter.

## Etymology

**Choi** is written in hanja as 崔, which is derived from Chinese, and translates to *high mountain* or *precipitous*. In other words, it means someone who oversees the land and the mountain.

As for her given name, **Hye-won**, both characters are also hanja and derived from Chinese, 暳嫄. 暳 translates to *twinkling star*. 嫄 translates to *the name of an empress*.

She wasn't a confident person at first, but once she succeeded - even though she would be going by a new alias - her name made more sense.

## Trivia

* She takes singing, dancing, and design classes.
* She's part of the student council, seeing that she works with (transfer) students' paperwork.
* She dislikes her Busan accent and alters her voice to hide it.
* After participating in AceStar, she grew interested in Hello! Project groups, especially Juice=Juice and Tsubaki Factory.
