## Kim Iseul

**Kim Iseul** (b. September 7, 2020) An only child, Iseul grew up in South Korea. She did not attend school as she was kept home to be home schooled by her mother and father. She transferred to Hogwarts when she was 14, being placed in Gryffindor.

## Appearance

Black hair, with a very slight wave to it, and deep brown eyes. That are dark yet young eyes. Standing at 5’5, she has a petite stature. Wearing her hair down most of the time, nothing fancy as she normally only brushes her hair out. She doesn’t wear much make-up, with an oval face, her jawline stands out with a slim neck. With longer fingers than most, her fingers are slender.

Dew likes to wear bright colors and patterns. Most of her shirts are baggy and loose fitting on her. Rarely does she wear jewelry. Right behind her left ear, Iseul has a small little scar from her hairline a few centimeters down.

## Personality

Loud and bolstering about everything. Dew normally makes a small show of what is going on around her. She is an energetic girl who is well spoken in Korean and English, very little ruffles her feathers. In public Iseul likes to go by Dew since it is easier for people to pronounce in English. Running around and playing when she can with people, Dew isn’t afraid to have her heart on her sleeve. But alone? Dew is the quietest person someone could meet. All the confidence and bolstering about everything melts away as she curls into herself. Showing herself as she is, a scared little girl who hasn’t been allowed to grow up.

## Background

***\*TW: Mentions of abuse and eating disorder\****

Being raised in Seoul, South Korea, Iseul lived a difficult life. From a young age she lived in some of the worst parts of Seoul. Her mother Haneul and father Min-Jun were barely able to make ends meet to feed everyone in the family. Haneul would focus more on feeding herself than her own daughter. Min-Jun was gone a lot due to traveling for work, and Haneul was busy doing her own things as she spent more money than needed. Some days Haneul would lock her daughter in her room for hours to days at a time. Haneul would bring ‘friends’ over to the house when Haneul was gone, hence why Iseul was made to be in her room all the time. Ensuring her daughter had snacks when she left, but Iseul would be locked in her room the whole time. Until she showed accidental magic at the age of 8. She was crying and hysterical when she opened her door. Her mother came home and yelled at her daughter for it.

Her parents constantly fought, one time her father came home to find his daughter locked away. Min-Jun waiting for Haneul who came back drunk that day. A shove was involved and Min-Jun being knocked out with some blood being spilled. Min-Jun didn’t remember what happened. From than, he started to teach Iseul English, very little but gave her books to read.

How Iseul got her scar is a terrible story.  On her 10th birthday it was only her and her mother, Haneul was drunk and eating a cake Min-Jun’s mother baked for Iseul like she did every year. Being so drunk, Haneul attacked her own daughter with a knife, leaving a scar and scaring Iseul into silence since it was clear Iseul liked her father more than her. So Iseul never talked about the scar and hides it with her hair.

For her first three years of schooling, Iseul had a ‘tutor’, that being someone who came over once a month to cram everything she needed to know. And Iseul would read the rest of the time. Getting her wand, she wasn’t able to practice all the time.

During Iseuls winter break of her 3rd year, Haneul and Min-Jun got into a fight. A big one where Haneul had been caught bringing home ‘friends’ while Min-Jun was gone. Haneul got a knife and Haneul’s ‘friend’ that had driven her home from the bar. With the major fight breaking out that happened quickly, Iseul saw the light leaving her fathers eyes. Haneul turned on her ‘friend’ and got him in jail. As time went on Haneul worried she would be caught and she decided to move to England. Having no want to teach her daughter, she decided to send her to Hogwarts for her fourth year.
