'The Hunted'

'Love had paralyzed my senses at the wrong moment, and I would remain numb until it wore off'

The Sound of Fishsteps, Buket Uzuner (p. 123)


Appearance

Jiyu is a young woman of average height. She has waist-length, black hair styled in a "hime cut," and dark brown, nearly black, narrowed eyes. She has lightly tanned skin with patches of red scarring, the pattern and frequency of which is similar to vitiligo. These patches are typically covered up by bandages or clothing.

Jiyu's typical wardrobe consists of various plain t-shirts and loose, cropped jeans. She can also be seen wearing bulky work jackets in the winter. She usually wears sneakers.

Personality

Jiyu is a relatively friendly person, keeping amicable connections with most of her peers who describe her as 'laid-back.' However, she lacks any close friends due to the fact that she is extremely self-sacrificing and prefers to keep her thoughts to herself.

While Jiyu is adept at connecting with others, she is somewhat averse to social situations. She is afraid of accidentally letting something she meant to keep to herself slip.

Lore

Han Jiyu doesn't remember much of her childhood. She simply floated through her school years until she found herself with nothing other than a diploma in her hands. Determined to find purpose in life, Jiyu decided to buy a one-way ticket to the United States to attend university. This is where her story begins.

Original Lore

Han Jiyu, experiencing extreme social isolation throughout her life growing up in a small South Korean town, applied to several American colleges to attend after high school. She left her home behind for good to better her life.

'The Hunter'

'Even if our own species is different, our skin is the same.'

The Sound of Fishsteps, Buket Uzuner (p. 215)


Appearance

Seung is of average height with waist-length black hair styled in a "hime cut," and nearly-black, slanted eyes with long black eyelashes. They have pale, almost sickly, skin with patches of red scarring, the pattern and frequency of which is similar to vitiligo. Contrary to Jiyu, Seung does not cover their scarring.

They wear a loose white shirt, similar to a jeogori, and a plain black skirt with a ribbon tied around the waist, similar to a chima. It typically wears black flats or foregoes shoes entirely. Its attire can be considered a mimicry of the traditional hanbok.

In an 'Altered State'

Seung remains largely the same, minus a few features. Its skin has begun to seemingly melt and they have gained a few red eyes littered on their face and neck. It is unknown if these eyes continue beyond the shirts neckline.

Personality

Seung is somewhat of an enigma. It is friends with everyone, yet close with no one. They come across as kind but their words seem devoid of any warmth. Despite this, they are altruistic at their core.

Lore

Not much is known about this inconspicuous being. They appear human but have a side of themselves that is often hidden from others. Perhaps more Information about it will be uncovered as time goes on?

Additional Information
  • They can cook, albeit poorly.
  • It eats anything, including moldy food.
  • They cannot drive nor do they have a license.
  • They don't understand technology.
  • It is extremely weak and intolerable to exercise. This might also be laziness.
  • Their smell is alluring at first but begins to smell rotten after a while.
  • They are an excellent liar.
  • It can be considered a bit of an insatiable nymphomaniac.
  • The three things they prioritize the most are love and the truth.
