Yoora is a naturally pale and freckled girl. She has pinkish qualities to her skin that confirm going in the sun more often will turn her red instead of golden-brown. So she has decided she will not chase rainbows and will make do with the milky white layer. This skin covers long limbs, that shoot out from a short body. Most of her 5 feet 6 inches is legs, while her torso is short and thin. Her baby fat has melted off years ago, which leaves her looking like a bunch of awkward sticks. The only thing she can tell you she likes about this outside covering is that her skin is for the most part clear although she has to watch out for the sun's rays.
A favorite quality of most people who meet or see Yoora is her hair. Mostly because she doesn't leave the common room without spraying it in place and washing it thoroughly. But also because it is the first thing people notice about her, it is either red or brown depending on the season and it displays a certain warmth. Usually it is done down or in a ponytail with her side bangs accenting her round face.
Speaking of that round face, Yoora is aware that her large cheeks and sparkling eyes will convince anyone that she is innocent of all charges. In fact when she was young and didn't know better, she would use her adorable features to her advantage. But now, they are a burden. No sixteen year old girl wants to look this young and sweet. That's why her eyebrows have been done slim and sexy and why on occasion she dresses a little too risky for her own good. But only on occasion, because Yoora doesn't want to be that girl she just wants to be a girl.
PERSONALITY
DISLIKES: having a ton of homework, people who can't go a minute without talking, chocolate (especially the dark kind), waking up early, carrying a ton of books, watching sports (it's kinda boring isn't it?), tight or uncomfortable clothing, flirting and flirts, wearing white, and gross toes or feet
STRENGTHS: study skills, being friendly to strangers, appearing responsible, staying out of the dramatic part of school, and staying calm in any situation
WEAKNESSES: fitting in with children her age, talking about awkward subjects, quidditch and other flying sports, knowing how to handle animals, and acting excited without seeming fake
ERISED: to rise to a position of high power in society, therefore making her family proud of her and gaining her family recognition in society.
BOGGART: to be rejected by her peers because she takes her studies very seriously.
DEMENTOR: moving to England and beginning Hogwarts without knowing anyone, with the expectations of her parents weighing her down.
DETAILED:
Yoora is sweet, down to earth, and constantly studying. Although this is not a thing she was born with, she had to work to develop this healthy personality. With a constant conscience in the back of her head, she can remember to smile and to be friendly to all the people around her. She is the girl that will stand up for anyone and weigh every question presented with her virtues in mind. She always tries to be the better version of herself although many times she falls short.[/ul]
Contrary to popular belief, Yoora is not an angel who fell from heaven and is now here to one up everyone else. She has a few flaws which she tries to keep hidden, but like all secrets they seep through. For one she has this temper that can be ignored because she's looks like a doll but as the fumes inside of her build up, the result will get worse and worse. It may start with her just snapping at someone but if it isn't taken out it will turn into a temper tantrum for the decades. In fact, when she was just a little tot her temper tantrums would drive the family crazy.
This is why Yoora will blow off steam by playing a little recreational quidditch, she doesn't believe she is good enough to actually be on the team. Or she may turn to studying to calm herself down, that was in fact how her amazing study habits began. Yoora isn't naturally smart like most people with her kind of grades, she just has a very good work ethic. The control she has over the way she appears and thinks is what makes her such a good person, but if she ever wasn't careful to look good she may confess that her thoughts get mean sometimes and that she will wish bad things upon others so she can be successful.
HISTORY
MOTHER: Eunae Zhang, early forties, half-blood, Korean
FATHER: Daeshim Zhang, late fifties, pure-blood, Korean
SIBLINGS: none
DETAILED:
[/ul]
Daeshim and Eunae Zhang gave birth to their only daughter at a time when they believed they would not be able to have children, she was a miracle in their arms and was raised like a princess. The family had a job in a high position and was living a wealthy life with a fairly unsoiled reputation. Yoora was a jewel, she looked like her mother but had the temper of her father and everyone in the family ooed and awwed at the her. Her sweet big doll eyes and could influence anyone to favor her.
Her parents tutored her from dawn till dusk until her eleventh birthday, knowing she would be the only one to carry on the family name and had to be brilliant. When she left for school she was far above the children in her classes and skipped her second year. At school she had very little friends because of her princess like attitude and was secretly relieved when in the middle of her third year a scandal was revealed.
Her mother had invested all the money in her father's bank account stupidly and the family was quickly left with nothing. Yoora was suddenly the poor child at school with a snooty attitude and her father was so ashamed that he divorced her mother and moved the pair to England where Yoora was enrolled at Hogwarts.
Yoora had been greatly changed by the events inside her family. She was no longer a princess and realized this with a sudden shock. With no people skills she entered Hogwarts with her hat in her hand. The sorting hat looked at her knowing that if she had come to him three years ago she would be in Slytherin, but not quite knowing what to do with her now.
She slowly grew into the new routine and left the old Yoora behind in a different country with a different mother. Her father had a new job and a new girlfriend every time she came home. He lectured her about how she needed to be regain their family honor so they could move back home with their heads held high but the longer they stayed in England the more her father seemed to regard it as home.

RP SAMPLE:
Yoora Zhang sat in the family room/ kitchen of her family's very humble abode. Her father was asleep in his recliner, the newspaper drawn across his lap and drool dripping down his neck. Yoora was on the floor playing with a white stray cat that she was fond of and often invited inside. Her father didn't seem to mind the presence of a stray animal and because the two had very few neighbors it was as close to a friend that could be had over the summer months. Especially when her father insisted that she study most of the day and night. But this was her last summer after all, so she cut herself a little slack.
Her brown eyes looked into the cat's cut up blue ones and twinkled as if announcing that soon she would be an adult and would be able to run out and get the fortune back that her father wanted so badly. The cat pawed her face in a way that was meant to hurt her but Yoora had declawed her friend long ago so that she would be able to play with him without getting hurt. With a childish voice she played with the cat, "I have some treats for you today." A sudden purr erupted from the cats body as if it knew what she was saying.
Yoora smiled and was up and to the cabinet in a flash. She grabbed the treats she had bought, unknowing to her father, the other day. While she walked back to her friend she unzipped the bag and pulled out a piece and then threw it in the air and watched as if fell near the cat, and he lazily ate it. She sat back down and began to pet the cat's white fur. The first time she had tried to touch it, the cat had nearly bitten her finger off but it was three years since then and the cat now tolerated it in return for food.
Now the cat stopped purring and she could almost hear him think about hissing at her, but she held the key to his lunch today so he only turned around and looked at her coyly, waiting.
