APPEARANCE:

Appearance: Ann's a beautiful woman who loves to take care of herself. She has straight, long and black hair that goes with her dark, endearing eyes, which stare brings pure comfort and peace when you look at them. Her face... Well, it has seen a bit - mostly teenage acne that she got rid of thanks to strict skin-care routine, face masks and special oinments. Now, her complexion is rather smooth and clean as well as her facial lines, which are pretty delicate and feminine. When it comes to her body, she doesn't love it but she doesn't hate it either. Tho, she doesn't look like those fancy models, she has quite nice and slim figure, accompained by balaned, rather middle-sized curves. It may not seem like it, but she works out (mostly by dancing), so she controls her weight and how she looks like. Ann also doesn't have any tattoos or piercings, excluding those in her ears, and she has a few scars on her body, which are the results of playing with Jungkook, her dog or her ''magic'' in the kitchen.
 
Style: Ann's style of clothing is rather casual and plain. She prefers soft or darker colours that matches with each other, she's not a fun of neon and distinctive hues. Her outfits include: jeans, hoodies, sweaters, t-shirts and cardigans; skirts, dresses and button-ups are less common. To complete her look, she likes to wear some jewelry - delicate and small necklaces, earrings or even rings. Aditionally to that, she paints her nails quite regurarly with colours that go around beige and brown.

PERSONALITY:

MBTI type: INFJ

Character: Ann's an introverted soul that loves spending time alone in her room while fulfilling herself in her passion. She's an idealist that's always trying to reach the higher - there's no such thing as ''good-enough'' for her. Her passion to a chosen cause is a key aspect of her personality. When she sets her mind on something - there's no turning back.

Creativity and vivid imagination is what describes her the best when it comes to work and hobbies. She has a very powerful mind that can understand complicated formulas and aspects, which helps her to quickly connect all dots to one another and create a beautiful, detailed picture. When she works on something, especially on some kind of project, she tries to polish perfectly every single subpoint so that the whole thing is flawless with no space left for criticism. But, tho she's hard-working, she's also lazy. She either doesn't do anything or do it the best way she can, it's hard for her to find the middle ground to it.

She's also very compassionate and empathetic. Not only she's a great listener, she's also good at giving advice when others need it. She most often not stick to it herself, but hey, helping people in need is way more important than that. Altruism can't let her pass by someone who needs help. She'll offer a hand when needed, even if she doesn't like that person, but seeing people struggling and suffering is the worst sight in existance. That's why she thinks that making world a better place is very important, and tho she understands that she alone can't do much, a first step to inspiring others is looking in the mirror and become a better person herself.

Ann always finds perfect solutions to a problem, but it'd be great if she could do that with herself instead of fixating on some unimportant detail. But yeah, she's insightful and curious, so understanding people's true feelings, motivations and needs is a piece of cake to her. She can read others like a book and uncover their true nature quite quickly, making them surprised and confused 'cause even they didn't know that about themselves. 

Other positive traits of her are: being humble, principled and organized. She loves creating routine and path she needs to follow. It's worse when someone else dictates their own plan and tells her what to do. And even if someone keep her off her track, she tries her best to come back on it as fast as possible. It's not always good because she doesn't give herself enough time to work on those negative emotions and move on truly.

Ann believes that she needs to solve her problems on her own. That's just who she is, she's reluctant to open up when it comes to hard and difficult things because she doesn't want to be a burden and trouble someone else with ''useless'' stuff she can deal with on her own. She tends to belittle her own problems and increase those of others, which sometimes become her own. She takes too much on her shoulders in order to ''make a world a better place'', or rather - prove herself that she's worthy and she has some impact on this world, which exhausts her to the core. But she just can't let anyone suffer when she knows that she can help. Does she make it out of pure altruism? Not always. After all, pretty much everyone wants others to perceive them in a good way. Maybe she also does this to increase her ego? Well, as weird as it sounds, helping others feels good - both in a pure and toxic way. Because when I'm helping someone... They owe me a favour. I'm standing higher because I am the one who gives them a helping hand, I don't need help myself... Therefore, I am stronger than them. And it makes me feel better.

In addition to that, Ann's a perfectionist, moreover - a judgemental one. Tho she hates that in herself, she judges people at first glance, as if she was making their whole profile before she gets to know them, and that stigma that she created on her own remains for quite a long time. Everything needs to be perfect and flawless in her eyes - her as well as the others. And tho she knows that it's impossible, she can't help but to feel that way. She wants to give others a chance, but when she notices imperfections (some may also call it as ''red flags''), she pushes that person away almost instantly. She battles with her good side that tells her to give them another chance and that not everything is lost, but her other side says that it's better to leave them now than cry and be hurt later on. But when she sees that someone tries, it's a sign that this person isn't as bad as she thought. Then, she might be able to give them a chance.

Considering that, it's not surprising that Ann's reserved and distant when it comes to other people, especially strangers. Of course, she tries to be nice and all, but she won't go ''yeah, we're friends now!'' so quickly. Due to her past, she's very careful as to who she ''invites'' to her life and the process of trusting someone entirely takes some time and effort. Naturally, she has some friends, and her circle isn't that small as it may seem (she has quite a lot of them actually), but there's only a few that she can trust with her life.

Some last traits of her are: being prone to burnout (exhausting herself and forgetting to take care about her mindset) and being sensitive to criticism. Actually, tho she's afraid of being criticised, when it happens, she becomes rather defensive and angry than sad and depressed. It may be because she puts so much effort in what she's doing and she's proud most of the time for what she's done, that when someone says his critical opinion about her work (even if it's consctructive), she tries to explain herself as to why this flaw exists. But after an ''outburst'', she starts to think more about it and reaches the conclusion that this person was actually right and she tries to improve herself in that particular thing.

In conflict situations, she sticks strongly to her side. She defends her opinion and values, and due to that - she has a hard time letting go and accepting the fact that the other person is actually right (she struggles to compromise when it comes to her values; otherwise - she's willing to search for the middle ground for both sides of the conflict). She also has tendency to be easily offended or upset, and tho she doesn't get angry with that person, she always remembers that one, negative thing they've done or said, which will have great impact as to how she views them later on.

BACKSTORY:

Ann comes from middle class family. She used to live with her parents and her brother, Hoseok, in a family house placed in the suburbs. When she was just entering her teenage years, her mom and dad started arguing even more than they already did. They weren't a perfect couple in the first place, but Ann hoped that despite everything and many things they disagreed on, that they won't get a divorce.

Tho her mother tried to save the marriage desparately, after some time and insighful consideration, they both agreed on getting a divorce and splitting their ways in a peaceful manner. Continuing that didn't have any sense if they can't find common ground after such a long time and effort. The decision was made shortly after: Ann stayed with her mother in the house they already lived in, Hoseok moved out along with their father to a different place and their wealth was split exactly in two, excluding possessions they had separately.

Tho, her father is a good man and she genuinely believes that he, if not loved, then at least cared about her mom, he wasn't ''compatible'' with her and that's why they split apart. As she was growing up, she used to believe that if she doesn't find someone ''compatible'' to her, they're gonna fall apart just as her parents did, so why fall in love when it's meant to be ruined anyways? In short - she stopped believing in true love, or rather - she was afraid of it. She used to think that all this ''falling in love'' stuff and happy, lovey-dovey couples are pure bullshit and acting up in front of the audience. That's why she was approaching relationships with caution. She was pushing others away, and if something happened somehow - it didn't last very long. Shortly after getting together, she started noticing her partner's imperfections and flaws, so she was just rejecting them 'cause ''they weren't compatible'', so being with each other lost any sense.

But high school changed her mindset completely, or rather - a certain someone she's with to this day.

OTHER:

- She loves watching stars, especially when it's full-moon. Sometimes, before sleeping, she just stares at the night sky for hours while listening to some music. It calms her down and carries her to her dream world, which exists without any problems or worries of the reality around her.

- After her parents divorced, Ann's mother didn't have enough money to buy her everything she wants, especially branded clothes, since she needed to save money for paying bills. That's when Ann learnt to be grateful for what she has now and not to be too greedy. She never asked her mom for more than she was already getting or for expensive stuff, tho she really wanted to possess fancy things as her friends did. Instead, she was going to second-hand shops to buy herself some stuff, which was a lot cheeper than popular brands among teenagers. But there have been times when Jungkook's parents used to give her some clothes from their newest collections or Jungkook himself was lending her his garnments since he had tones of them in his wardrobe. Tho, she loved that and appreciated their kindness a lot, she preferred to dress up with clothes she or her mom bought her. Wandering around those shops, searching for and trying to match things to each other has unique vibe that she loves to this day.

- She adores deep talks, especially when it's evening or late at night. Being tipsy adds even more charm to it. Then, it feels as if the reality around stopped for a while and this moment they're having will remain in her memory for a very long time. She thinks that this kind of events bring people closer to each other. It's easier to open up when no one's watching, when there's only them around.

- She likes playing with Jungkook's hair a lot when they're bored on the couch.

- Despite having a few boyfriends before Jungkook, actually, he was her first kiss.

- She doesn't like physical touch that much. It may be because of some past events or just her character, but either way, she trusts only Jungkook and Jimin to touch her unexpectedly. It changed a bit when she met new friends, but still, she prefers them respecting her personal space.

- She's Jimin's dance partner. They've been dancing with each other professionally since high school.

- She values honesty and hates lies. In her eyes, bitter truth is way better than sweet lies.
