Lee Horang

## Personality

Due to being raised by the fae, Horang tends to carry herself in a more elegant manner than most girls her age. The fae are regal and beautiful and she learned how to imitate their posture and nuances during her time in their realm. While she isn't as beautiful as a standard fairy, Horang has learned tricks and uses magical items to improve her looks. She's smart and witty, and is quick to learn things.

When in the human realm, she feels like an outsider. Growing up in a world surrounded by magic and fantasy, her new life in the mortal world feels dull compared to the life she's used to. The foods are bland and the sights are lackluster, but she knows it's where she belongs. Humans and fae are very different, but Horang gets along with both species rather well. Because she was raised by fae, she doesn't quite fit in with the humans, and because she's a human, she doesn't quite fit in with the fae, either. She belongs to two worlds but to neither of them completely.

When she's in the Fae realm-- her birthplace-- she is much more confident. Even though she lacks the magical abilities and immortality that all fae possess, she knows how to hold her own in the realm where she was raised. Even though she is undeniably human, Horang doesn't see herself as such. She was born and raised by and around faeries and she considers herself to be one of the Fae folk first and foremost. If she had to choose a side to fight for, she would undoubtedly pick the Fae over the humans.

## Biography

Horang is a human who was raised among the fae in the Seelie Court. Her adopted father is the King of the Court of Thorns and General of the fae militia units. Horang was trained as a soldier but raised alongside other fairfolk royalty. She grew up knowing that she was human ( and even being bullied for it for most of her youth), but she never really considered herself to be human. She was mortal, yes, but she had been raised by the fair folk and she was anything but average.

During her sixteenth year, Horang was sent into the human realm to begin attending school. It was hard at first, but she soon began to enjoy the freedoms that came with being alone in the human world. It was there that she learned more about herself, things that the fae could never have taught her. And she began to make human friends that would age at the same speed as her. Everything seemed great on the surface, but it still hurt her to leave home.

As painfully aware as she was that she was human, Horang was raised by the fae and she found it hard to relate to other human girls her age. She couldn't speak of her childhood or her family without raising suspicions and it caused Horang to build a wall around her heart.

She doesn't visit her family very often because it hurts too much for her to leave again, but they sometimes send her gifts from the faerie realm. She knows she should get used to living in the human world because its where she belongs, but Horang can't leave her family behind. Even if she isn't of fae blood, she is loyal to her adopted father and her friends back home, and she can't imagine living a life without them.
