Hee-joon

Hee-joon is a cleric and one of the ten Miitopian heroes.

## Biography

### Backstory

Hee-joon was born in a village in Western Greenhorne as a commoner. His childhood was essentially wasted, because he had a mysterious, frequently-recurring illness, and was often too weak to leave his house while he was ill. His father had left the village before he was born, so his mother was always busy, juggling taking care of him and working outside of the house. His mother was also extremely protective and strict, so he was not allowed to have visitors while he was ill, meaning he mostly grew up alone, save for Akira, who had to sneak in to spend time with him.

When Hee-joon was around 14 (10 years before the Miitopia storyline), a traveling mage stopped by the town, and Hee-joon’s mother begged him to cure her son of his mysterious illness. It turned out, by some fluke of nature, Hee-joon was born a magic user despite having two mortal parents. Magic users are supposed to learn how to control their powers from an early age in order to channel their magic properly. However, no one knew that Hee-joon was a magic user, so his magic instead manifested in the form of illness. In addition, he was descended from mortals, so he still had a mortal’s body, meaning he doesn’t have the adaptations a magic user has to help them live with their magic. This explained his sickness.

Upon seeing him, the mage realized this, and offered to stay for a few weeks to teach him to use it. Even after the mage left, Hee-joon kept practicing magic and, with time, became a skilled magic user himself. His illness never fully went away (owing to his mortal body), but is a lot less frequent and severe since he started using magic.

### Afterstory

Around the time of the Miitopia events occuring, the previous Archbishop was getting ready to retire. After the Greenhorne heroes' return, the king rewarded Hee-joon by offering him the role of the new Archbishop, where he would remain in the church and carry out various duties from spiritual prayer to overseeing events such as weddings. Hee-joon accepted, and, on top of these duties, he is also willing to heal anyone who comes to the church in need of his help.

## Personality and Traits

Hee-joon is extremely kind, gentle, and soft-spoken, never turning away a soul in need of help and always doing what's right. He likes to make sure everyone is happy and is the friend that always listens and comforts, since he knows what it's like to be alone (due to his illness forcing him to isolate from the rest of his village) and does not wish anyone to have the same fate. However, he is also passive and non-confrontational, preferring to avoid conflict, which is why he usually stays back during battles as support for his team, rather than being on the offensive. He is kind to a fault, though, as he believes there is good in everyone, so he becomes too trustful and is quick to forgive even if it is a trap or the other person doesn't deserve it. This also makes him somewhat of a people-pleaser, and becomes depressed if he cannot find a solution that satisfies everyone.

## Trivia

* Hee-joon is celibate, as this is a requirement for his role as the Archbishop. He is also transgender female-to-male.
* There is a running joke that Hee-joon's first reaction to everything is to start crying. Hee-joon is also considered to be one of the two "sane" people of the team (the other one being Pedro).
* Technically, Hee-joon is a magic user with a mortal body. If asked, he considers himself a magic user (of light magic).
	+ He is often asked that, if he had the choice to have his magic taken away to live without his illness, whether he would do it or not. His answer is that he would choose to keep his magic, as he would be willing to pay the price of his illness if it means he could use his magic to help people.
	+ He is 32 years old. However, in Masters, his age is unknown.
	+ According to the Masters website, he was born on August 18th.
