### Haeseol's Journal Entry

Date: September 27th

### Haeseol's Journal Entry

It’s been a week since I met Dad. I still can’t believe I can actually say that—Dad. Captain America. The legendary hero. It feels surreal. The whole encounter was a whirlwind of emotions, and honestly, I’m still trying to process it all. I never thought I’d be face-to-face with someone like him, let alone someone who’s supposed to be my father.

He’s everything I imagined and more. He’s strong, kind, and carries this aura of determination that makes you feel safe just being near him. But there’s also a part of me that feels a bit... lost. I keep asking him questions about Mom, wanting to know what she’s like, but he always gives me this vague praise about her heart and willpower. It’s like there’s a wall he puts up whenever I try to dig deeper.

I mean, I get it—finding out you have a child you didn’t know about is a shocker for anyone, but I can’t help but feel a bit abandoned. It’s confusing. What if she doesn’t want to see me? What if she’s scared? I wouldn’t blame her. I know my origins are anything but normal. I’ve got vampire blood running through my veins, and that’s not something just anyone would be okay with. I wonder if that scares her.

I’ve been trying to distract myself with schoolwork and my responsibilities as a shaman, but it’s hard not to dwell on it. There’s this ache inside me—a longing to know her, to understand where I come from and who I am. I wish I could talk to Mom and tell her that I’m not some monster. I’m just a girl trying to figure out how to balance being a shaman, a daughter, and everything else life throws at me.

Dad keeps reassuring me that everything will be okay and that I have the strength to face whatever comes next. I know he believes in me, but I wish I could hear more about her from him. The things he says about her make me think she must be incredible, yet it only deepens my curiosity. Does she think about me? Does she even know what I’ve been through?

I don’t want to pressure him into sharing more than he’s comfortable with, but it’s hard not to feel frustrated. I just want to feel like I belong somewhere, you know?

Right now, all I can do is wait. Wait to see if she wants to meet me, wait to learn more about her, and wait to figure out what this all means for me. Maybe I’ll get lucky. Maybe one day, she’ll be ready to see me, to understand who I’ve become and what I’m capable of.

But for now, I have homework to catch up on, a promise ring to twist around my finger, and a world full of uncertainties ahead. I’ll keep writing and trying to sort through my thoughts. Maybe that’s all I can do for now.

— Haeseol.

“I love kissing. If I could kiss all day, I would. I can’t stop thinking about kissing. I like kissing more than sex because there’s no end to it. You can kiss forever. You can kiss yourself into oblivion. You can kiss all over the body. You can kiss yourself to sleep. And when you wake up, you can’t stop thinking about kissing. Dammit, I can’t get anything done because I’m so busy thinking about kissing. Kissing is madness! But it’s absolute paradise, if you can find a good kisser.”

“To be touched - truly touched - that’s what I’m looking for. To unfold at a brush of skin like a rare flower blooming. To be surfaced at the curl of fingertips around my soul. I am so tired of shallow fun. I want my heart to shudder at a touch, to whisper, “here, here, it’s all yours.”

Journal Entry | October 2nd.

Being possessed by spirits has become such a part of me that I don’t always realize when I’m pushing too far. Whether it’s the warmth of a benevolent presence or the cold, gnawing dread of something darker, the experience is never quite the same. Each spirit has its own story, its own weight. And when they possess me, I don’t just see their memories—I feel them. Their anger, sorrow, joy, fear. All of it, as if it’s my own.

Sometimes, I’m at the center of their turmoil, reliving their deaths or their greatest regrets. Other times, it’s just glimpses—flashes of moments they can’t let go of, unfinished business they’re desperate to resolve. It’s exhausting. I’m pulled between their emotions and mine, lost in a haze of lives that don’t belong to me. And yet, I can’t turn them away. I’ve tried, but something inside me—this stubbornness, this responsibility—makes it impossible to stop.

Some days, it’s one or two spirits that find their way into me. Other days, it’s a steady stream, each one more desperate than the last. There are weeks where I’m possessed almost constantly, barely able to separate myself from the dead. Those are the hardest. I can feel my body breaking down, my spiritual energy draining until there’s almost nothing left. I always push myself too far. I know I shouldn’t, but I can’t seem to stop.

The result is always the same: a fever that burns through me like fire, leaving me bedridden for days, sometimes a full week. It’s like being in a coma, trapped in my own body as it tries to recover from the strain. Three to five days of nothingness. I’m not even sure if I dream during those fevers, or if I’m just gone, floating somewhere between life and death.

I’ve tried to preserve my spiritual energy, to limit how many possessions I allow in a day, or at least to give myself rest between them. But no matter how hard I try, I always end up breaking my own rules. I can usually make it through a month if I’m careful, staying active just enough to keep the fever at bay. But it’s a fragile balance. One wrong move, one spirit too many, and it all comes crashing down.

I tell myself I’ll stop, that I’ll be more cautious. But I don’t. There’s always another spirit, another story. Another piece of someone’s life that needs to be told.

And I keep going, knowing full well that it’s only a matter of time before I’m back in bed, fighting off the fever again.

Character Study: The Shaman Goddess

Character Study: The Shaman Goddess

Haeseol, as a character, is deeply entrenched in the spiritual realm, but what makes her unique isn’t merely her ability to see and interact with spirits—it’s her profound connection to them. These journal entries shed light on the toll this ability takes on her, both physically and emotionally, and how it sets her apart from other shamans.

Character Study: The Shaman Goddess
Character Study: The Shaman Goddess

### A Shaman Defined by Empathy and Experience

Haeseol’s connection with spirits transcends the typical boundaries of shamanism. She doesn’t just guide them or perform rituals to exorcise them—she becomes them, experiencing their emotions, memories, and even their regrets. This intimate bond with the dead, while incredibly powerful, is also a source of her greatest vulnerability. Unlike many shamans who might act as intermediaries or mediators, Haeseol fully embodies the spirits she encounters. This level of possession isn’t simply a power—it’s an overwhelming responsibility that weighs heavily on her soul.

Her ability to see through the eyes of spirits and feel their emotions as though they are her own adds layers to her shamanistic role. She’s not only someone who sees spirits, but someone who lives through their pain and struggles. This makes her much more than a medium; she’s a vessel for the unresolved traumas and regrets of the dead. The depth of her empathy, being able to connect so profoundly with the spiritual world, makes her both a stronger and more tragic figure.

### The Burden of Possession

What sets Haeseol apart from her peers is the sheer volume and intensity of the possessions she endures. She doesn’t merely summon or repel spirits—she allows them into her very being. These aren’t fleeting encounters, but full-bodied possessions where the spirit’s emotions and memories flood her mind, often blurring the line between her identity and theirs. The way she describes being pulled into their lives, sometimes experiencing their deaths or regrets firsthand, suggests that her spiritual ability is both a gift and a curse. It’s not something she can control easily or shut off. The constant influx of spiritual energy and emotions drains her, leaving her physically weak and mentally exhausted.

Unlike other shamans who may focus on preserving themselves through rituals or protections, Haeseol pushes herself far beyond her limits. Her stubbornness, this overwhelming sense of duty, compels her to take on more than she should. This makes her particularly unique—her sense of responsibility towards these spirits, despite knowing the cost it exacts on her body and mind, drives her to continue even when she knows it will lead to collapse.

### The Physical and Emotional Toll

Physically, Haeseol’s shamanistic abilities ravage her body. The fevers that strike her after periods of intense possession suggest that her connection to the spirit world isn’t just an intellectual or emotional exercise—it’s deeply physical. Her body, much like her mind, is constantly strained by the spirits she lets in. She describes these fevers as coma-like states, where she loses days, sometimes weeks, to recovery. This cycle of possession, burnout, and fever leaves her in a constant state of fragility. She’s never fully at peace, always one step away from being overwhelmed by the spirits who seek her out.

Emotionally, Haeseol’s journey is equally draining. She’s not only weighed down by her own feelings but by the emotions of countless spirits. Their pain becomes hers, their anger courses through her veins. The fact that she regularly experiences these intense emotions makes it difficult for her to separate her identity from theirs. The haze of lives that don’t belong to her leaves her feeling disoriented, emotionally fragile, and often lost. And yet, her inability to turn away from these spirits speaks to her inner resolve—despite the constant toll, she cannot deny them the help they seek.

Character Study: The Shaman Goddess
Character Study: The Shaman Goddess

### A Legacy to Uphold, A Fear to Confront

Haeseol’s identity is not only defined by her abilities but also by her lineage. Being Ming-Ji’s granddaughter, the next in a line of powerful shamans, adds both pressure and fear. The spirits know who she is, and some of the darker entities even taunt her with the knowledge of her grandmother’s legacy. This connection to Ming-Ji, while giving her a sense of power and belonging in the spiritual realm, also makes her a target. Haeseol is constantly aware that she’s being watched—by both benevolent and malevolent forces—waiting for her to prove herself or, worse, to fail.

This fear is compounded by the existence of spirits far more dangerous than anything she’s ever faced before. The entity she describes in her second journal entry—the ancient, predatory spirit that knows her blood—represents a looming threat that’s both personal and existential. Unlike the more passive spirits that possess her for closure, these darker entities are deliberate in their cruelty. They don’t just seek to use her—they want to break her. The way they speak to her, with eerie glee and sinister amusement, highlights the gravity of her role as a shaman. She’s not just helping spirits find peace—she’s engaged in a spiritual war, one that’s deeply personal.

The spirit that still haunts her thoughts, whispering, "I see you, shaman. I know your name. I know your blood. And I'll be waiting," is a constant reminder of the danger she faces. It’s not just a threat to her physical or spiritual well-being—it’s a threat to her very identity. The way it toys with her, as though she’s part of a game she never signed up for, suggests that Haeseol’s journey as a shaman is far from over. She’s being watched, and the stakes are higher than she may yet realize.

### The Shaman's Humanity

Despite her incredible abilities, Haeseol remains deeply human. Her emotional depth, her moments of fear, her stubbornness, and her sense of duty all make her a relatable figure. She’s not invincible; she’s someone who pushes herself too far, who makes mistakes, and who struggles with the weight of her responsibilities. Her humanity is what makes her powerful—it’s her empathy, her ability to feel and connect with others, that allows her to bridge the gap between the living and the dead. But this same humanity also makes her vulnerable to the spirits who seek to exploit her kindness and wear down her resolve.

Haeseol’s greatest strength is her refusal to give up, even when faced with spirits that would break lesser shamans. She’s defined by her ability to withstand the emotional and physical toll of her work, but this strength is always tempered by the knowledge that she can’t do it forever. The constant cycles of possession and recovery suggest that she’s living on borrowed time—eventually, something will give.

### A Possessed Shaman Set Apart

Haeseol’s unique abilities as a shaman set her apart from others in her field. Her deep, empathic connection to the spirits she encounters makes her a powerful figure, but it’s also a source of great personal pain. She’s defined by her ability to feel the emotions and see the memories of the dead, which gives her insight into their struggles and allows her to help them find peace. But this same connection leaves her drained, physically and emotionally, as she bears the weight of lives that aren’t her own.

Her legacy as Ming-Ji’s granddaughter adds another layer to her character, making her both proud and fearful of the responsibility she carries. Darker forces recognize her lineage, seeing her as either a prize to be claimed or a threat to be eliminated. Haeseol’s journey is one of survival—surviving the spirits that possess her, surviving the legacy she’s inherited, and surviving the emotional toll that comes with being the bridge between the living and the dead.

### A Goddess In The Modern Era

Haeseol’s popularity and near-deification stem from her extraordinary abilities and the deep spiritual connection she shares with the world. The unique way she communes with spirits—seeing their memories, feeling their emotions, and carrying the weight of their unfinished business—sets her apart not only as a shaman but as something more profound in the eyes of the people. They view her not just as a healer or a medium, but as a bridge between the human and the spiritual realms, someone who holds within her the power to soothe souls and bring peace to both the living and the dead.

Her status as "The Divine Lady" or "Benevolent One" is a reflection of how others see her—like a goddess incarnate, a guiding light in the darkest moments. The titles given to her emphasize her almost ethereal presence, often associating her with purity and light. The moon is a particularly powerful symbol connected to her—like the moon, she is a source of quiet, calming illumination, a constant presence in the night, offering comfort and solace to those who look to her.

Haeseol’s popularity grows in part because of her incredible spiritual power, but also because of the grace with which she handles her responsibilities. Despite being possessed by spirits regularly, and despite the toll it takes on her physically and emotionally, she remains humble, serene, and compassionate. This composure, along with the awe-inspiring nature of her gifts, leads people to elevate her almost to a divine status, and to some, she becomes an untouchable figure, a living legend.

### A Celebrity In The Public Eye

In political and high-society circles, Haeseol’s allure only deepens. She is often invited to high-profile events, where her presence alone is seen as a blessing. Diplomats, public figures, and powerful families revere her not just for her spiritual abilities, but for the calming influence she exerts over those she meets. Her growing fame inevitably extends beyond her home country, attracting attention internationally. She becomes a symbol of hope, a figure to whom even royalty reaches out for guidance and connection.

### Religiously Devoted & Untouchable

The fact that Haeseol had to turn down multiple marriage proposals, including from foreign princes, speaks to her status. These proposals are not just personal—they represent political alliances and a desire to bring her spiritual power into their lineage. Her refusals, however, only seem to add to her mystique and the reverence surrounding her. She turns down these offers with grace and humility, which only makes her more beloved.

Shinichi Kozu’s proposal stands out because, unlike the others, it feels more personal. While her marriage to Shinichi was something Haeseol seemed open to, it was ultimately canceled due to her own need for self-discovery. After her grandmother's death, Haeseol felt a deep pull to uncover her own origins and meet her birth parents, a journey that took her to America. It was during this time that she discovered the truth about herself—what she was, and why her gifts were so powerful. This period of self-realization, though it delayed her personal commitments, also solidified her status as someone whose path could not be dictated by ordinary expectations.

People see Haeseol as someone destined for greatness beyond the typical roles of wife or queen consort. Her spiritual calling transcends those traditional paths, and in her pursuit of her identity and purpose, she becomes a symbol of both strength and compassion, adored by all but bound by none.

HOTD VERSE: THE DRAGON'S ORACLE

 HOTD VERSE: THE DRAGON'S ORACLE

Name: Lady Hae-seol Kim

Titles: Lady of the Misty Isles, The Dragon's Oracle, The Spirit Weaver

Allegiance: Neutral (torn between Team Green and Team Black)

House Sigil: A black dragon intertwined with a crescent moon over misty waves

Dragon: Daeyoung, a silver-scaled dragon with black wings, known for her cold, icy breath and elemental powers. Daeyoung communicates in fragmented sentences.

BACKGROUND: THE ORACLE

Lady Hae-seol Kim hails from the Misty Isles, a region renowned not for isolation, but for its unique position in the realm's politics. The Isles are influential, maintaining robust political ties while standing as steadfast allies to House Targaryen. House Kim, one of the few remaining families with a genuine spiritual connection, commands respect for their mystical insights, though their specific practices are not widely known.

Raised under the guidance of her grandmother—a revered oracle who had served the Targaryens during the reigns of Jaehaerys I and Viserys I—Hae-seol was steeped in the traditions of her house. Her grandmother's wisdom established House Kim's crucial role as spiritual advisors, a role Hae-seol inherited.

Unbeknownst to many, Hae-seol is believed to be the reincarnation of the Radiant Moon, a figure of ancient legend said to embody the moon’s power. This reincarnation grants her significant but secretive supernatural abilities, including control over light and lunar magic. Hae-seol keeps these powers hidden, maintaining a facade of normalcy while secretly wielding the power to purify dark forces and use a green-enchanted bow with white lotus arrows.

BACKGROUND: THE MARRIAGE

Hae-seol’s arranged marriage to a powerful but treacherous lord was a strategic move fraught with hidden motives. Her new husband and his family had deceived her, intending to use her as a pawn in their schemes. The Misty Isles’ spiritual heritage, while respected, had not prepared her for the treachery she was about to face.

Finalizing their marriage with a blood pact that made Haeseol of royal blood-- Haeseol's trust and sense of comfort in her husband's arms was taken advantage of as he then threw her into the chasm below, her panicked cry fading into the darkness of the dragon's lair below.

Daeyoung’s Backstory:

Before her fateful encounter with Hae-seol, Daeyoung was a dragon of profound dignity and strength, living harmoniously with her kin. However, her life took a dark turn when she was captured by humans. Daeyoung was stolen from her family—her siblings and mother—by those who sought to exploit her for their own gain.

The captivity was brutal. Daeyoung endured cruel treatment and horrific experiments, resulting in numerous scars across her once-pristine scales. The humans, driven by greed and fear, inflicted unthinkable suffering upon her. This period of torment bred a deep-seated hatred for humans within Daeyoung. Her scars were not just physical but emotional, marking her soul with a profound disdain for the race that had wronged her so grievously.

The Tragic Misunderstanding:

The final blow to Daeyoung's sanity and sense of justice came when her young were murdered, and she was led to believe that these killings were the work of Hae-seol’s new family. Daeyoung’s grief and anger fueled her vengeance, leading her to believe that the only way to avenge her offspring was to target the sacrificial royal daughters whom she mistakenly thought were connected to her tormentors.

Hae-seol’s arrival in the chasm, where Daeyoung had taken refuge after the betrayal, was marked by a fierce and violent confrontation. Daeyoung’s rage and hatred for humans culminated in a devastating attack against Hae-seol, whom she saw as an agent of the same cruelty that had destroyed her family.

The Turning Point:

As Hae-seol and Daeyoung clashed, the brutality of the dragon’s assault left Daeyoung critically wounded. Despite the pain and anger, a pivotal moment of clarity struck Daeyoung as she lay on the brink of death. The realization dawned that her quest for vengeance had been misguided; she had been manipulated into exacting retribution on the wrong targets.

This moment of enlightenment came too late for many, but it was Hae-seol’s act of unexpected mercy that shifted the course of their intertwined fates. Rather than ending Daeyoung’s life, Hae-seol chose to heal her. This act of compassion bridged the chasm of hatred that had defined their encounter, transforming their relationship from one of animosity to one of mutual understanding and respect.

Dragon and Rider Bond:

The bond between Hae-seol and Daeyoung emerged from the ashes of their violent conflict. Despite Daeyoung’s enduring hatred for humans, Hae-seol’s act of healing and her compassionate nature forged a profound connection between them. Daeyoung’s acceptance of Hae-seol as her rider was not just a recognition of Hae-seol’s power but also a testament to the deep healing that had taken place between them.

Daeyoung, who had once been a symbol of rage and vengeance, became a loyal and powerful ally to Hae-seol. Their bond symbolizes a union of strength and empathy, transcending the hatred that had once defined Daeyoung’s existence. Together, they form a formidable duo, with Daeyoung’s icy breath and elemental prowess complementing Hae-seol’s mystical abilities and wisdom.

THE IRON THRONE: A HOUSE DIVIDED

The Targaryen court’s perception of Hae-seol’s bond with Daeyoung is marked by a complex interplay of fascination, skepticism, and intrigue.

Intrigue:

Hae-seol’s relationship with Daeyoung is a subject of great interest at court. The unique nature of their bond, especially given that Hae-seol is not of Targaryen blood, adds an element of mystery and allure. The court is captivated by the rare and powerful connection between a dragon and a non-Targaryen rider. Hae-seol’s ability to summon Daeyoung using an enchanted whistle, a secretive and mystical artifact she wears around her neck, enhances the enigma surrounding their alliance.

Skepticism:

Despite the fascination, there is an undercurrent of skepticism regarding Hae-seol’s claim to such a powerful dragon. Some members of the court question the authenticity of their bond and whether Hae-seol’s non-Targaryen status affects her connection with Daeyoung. The fact that Daeyoung’s hatred for humans was so deeply rooted in her captivity and subsequent trauma adds a layer of complexity that the court grapples with. The secrecy surrounding Daeyoung’s presence and the nature of their bond only fuel these doubts.

Admiration:

Many in the court admire Hae-seol for her strength, resilience, and the remarkable bond she shares with Daeyoung. Her ability to transform Daeyoung’s rage and suffering into a powerful alliance is seen as a testament to her character and capabilities. Hae-seol’s role as *The Dragon's Oracle* is recognized as a significant asset to House Targaryen, providing both mystical guidance and a formidable dragon companion.

PERCEPTION: BLACK V. GREEN

Hightowers (Team Green):

Hae-seol is more sympathetic toward Queen Regent and now Dowager Queen Alicent. She views the Hightowers with a degree of wariness, but she recognizes the complexity of their situation. The Hightowers, despite their own flaws and ambitions, have been subject to a series of unsettling events that have shaped their current stance. Hae-seol is aware of the political maneuvers and intrigue within the Hightower faction but appreciates their stability and perseverance amidst the chaos.

Targaryens (Team Black):

Hae-seol views Rhaenyra with significant suspicion. Her perceptions are shaped by several troubling events: the convenient death of Laenor, the rapid marriage of Rhaenyra to Daemon shortly after his wife’s death, the maiming of Aemond’s eye, and Rhaenyra’s insistence on "sharply questioning" a young boy over rumors of her bastard sons—who were easily identifiable by their dark hair color. Hae-seol also disapproves of Daemon’s brutal act of beheading Lord Corlys Velaryon for speaking out about these bastards, and the death of Prince Jaehaerys. Although Hae-seol was not present for all these events, her visions provided her with enough insight to recognize the troubling patterns and potential for manipulation within Rhaenyra’s faction. As a result, she maintains a cautious distance from the Targaryens, aware of the instability and strife that may accompany their rule.

CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE

In the Targaryen court, Hae-seol occupies a unique and influential position. As *The Dragon's Oracle*, she offers valuable spiritual and mystical insights. Her bond with Daeyoung, though not widely known, is a critical aspect of her role. Hae-seol uses her enchanted whistle to summon Daeyoung discreetly, maintaining a level of secrecy about their connection while leveraging Daeyoung’s powers when necessary.

Her neutrality in the ongoing civil war is a delicate balancing act. Hae-seol must navigate the treacherous political landscape while preserving her house’s honor and spiritual heritage. Her bond with Daeyoung represents a rare and potent alliance, making her a key figure in the realm’s intricate power dynamics.

GOALS AND STRUGGLES

Hae-seol faces personal struggles as she reconciles her duties with her personal desires and the weight of her bond with Daeyoung. Her role requires her to balance her house’s spiritual heritage with the demands of the Targaryen court. The healing and redemption of Daeyoung reflect Hae-seol’s own journey of overcoming betrayal and forging a new path.

Her primary goal is to navigate the complex political landscape while upholding her house’s honor and contributing positively to House Targaryen. Hae-seol aims to use her unique position to influence the court and ensure a stable future for her realm, all while managing the delicate balance between secrecy and the profound power she wields.

CONCLUSION

Lady Hae-seol Kim’s story is one of deep personal transformation and mystical strength. Her bond with Daeyoung, forged from shared suffering and redemption, sets her apart as a unique and influential figure in the Targaryen court. Despite the complexities of their relationship and the challenges they face, Hae-seol’s resilience and wisdom make her a pivotal player in the realm’s intricate politics and mystical heritage.

The word "God" becomes necessary where there is an intense feeling of presence and oneness in opposites, an awe that cannot let go of contradictory elements, of an otherness in which I am more truly "I"

 MEET THE MUSE .

Haeseol Kim is a character who navigates the fine line between spiritual duty and personal desire. While deeply empathetic and resilient, she struggles with internal conflicts that stem from her roles as a shaman and a young woman trying to live a normal life. Haeseol’s outward composure hides a complex inner world filled with doubts, insecurities, and the weight of responsibility. Though she is driven by a strong sense of purpose, her emotional suppression, idealism, and self-sacrificial nature often leave her feeling isolated and disconnected from her peers. She yearns for freedom from the burdens she carries, yet remains bound by her sense of duty, ever seeking a way to balance her spiritual calling with the life she wishes she could live.

( Important Side Note: Haeseol was "born" in the year 1998. By the year of 2014 (after A: AOU but before CA: CW) Haeseol is 16. By 2024, Haeseol is 26 years old. The information presented below is going off of the year 2014 )

 MEET THE MUSE .

Hae-seol Kim, affectionately known as Hae-seol, is a high school student with a significant and respected role within her community. Raised in an influential family with deep ties to Korean shamanism, she was mentored by her grandmother, the last practicing shaman before her. As a Gangsinmu (a shaman capable of possession and spirit communication), Hae-seol is revered for her spiritual abilities but struggles with the pressure of her responsibilities. Despite her popularity, she feels disconnected from her peers and longs for a normal life while balancing the expectations placed upon her.

PERSONALITY:

Hae-seol is kind, friendly, and outgoing. Her humility and down-to-earth nature endear her to many, despite her family's high status and her extraordinary responsibilities. She is emotionally intelligent and outspoken, particularly when it comes to standing up against bullies or injustice. Her strong sense of empathy allows her to connect deeply with others, often making her the person her friends and classmates turn to for support.

MOTIVATIONS & GOALS:

Hae-seol is motivated by a desire to help others and honor her family's traditions. As the last shaman in her family, her role carries immense importance. She takes her duties seriously, performing rituals and providing spiritual guidance to those in need. Hae-seol dreams of using her gifts to make a positive impact on her community and beyond, though she is unaware of the full extent of her abilities or their origins.

APPROACH:

Hae-seol approaches life with a positive and open-minded attitude. She is always eager to make new friends and include others in her activities. Whether it's through organizing study groups, participating in school events, or helping classmates with personal issues, Hae-seol strives to create an inclusive and supportive environment. Her popularity is a byproduct of her genuine kindness and willingness to go out of her way for others.

TRUE FEELINGS:

Despite her outward confidence and social ease, Hae-seol sometimes feels isolated due to her differences. She senses that she is not quite like her peers but attributes these feelings to her shamanistic gifts rather than her true nature. This awareness fuels her humility and compassion, as she believes that her abilities are meant to serve others, not elevate herself above them.

She has a diverse group of friends, including So-young Choi, Ji-eun Park, and Eun-bi Kim, who are drawn to her warmth and sincerity.

Her influence extends beyond her immediate social circle, as her reputation for fairness and compassion makes her a beloved figure among students and teachers alike.

IMPACT ON COMMUNITY:

Despite her young age and imperfect skills, people call on her for various services, including exorcisms, religious prayers, charitable acts, and funerals. Her importance is underscored by the constant stream of requests for her spiritual guidance.

MEDICAL SKILLS:

From a young age, Hae-seol shadowed her grandmother, apprenticing in various medical practices. She learned to treat wounds, assist in childbirth, and care for both healthy and ill pregnant women. Her ability to heal others has significantly boosted her popularity and influence. Community members trust her with their health concerns, and her skill in providing medical care is seen as an extension of her shamanistic abilities. This blend of spiritual and medical knowledge makes Hae-seol an indispensable figure in her community.

PUBLIC RECOGNITION:

Hae-seol’s status extends to the public eye, where she is frequently invited to high-profile gatherings. Religious leaders, business magnates, and government officials often seek her presence at public events and private dinners, recognizing her influence and the respect she commands. She is a frequent guest of honor at social and religious functions, underscoring her significant role in both spiritual and secular circles.

SHAMAN RESPONSIBILITIES:

Hae-seol balances her school life with her duties as a shaman. She performs daily rituals and prayers, often involving meditation, offerings, and ceremonies to honor her ancestors and seek guidance from the spirits. She also adheres to a specific diet, avoiding certain foods that are believed to interfere with her spiritual abilities. Her responsibilities include providing spiritual counsel to those in need and performing cleansing rituals to purify spaces and individuals. Despite these duties, Hae-seol remains dedicated to her studies and social life, embodying a harmonious blend of modernity and tradition.

ੈ𑁍༘  GUIDELINES

first and foremost, due to my ADHD, I am a impulsive and slow writer - replies ( which can range from months to weeks, especially due to tumblr formatting ) are more a spur of the moment when I'm in the writing mood. I am prone to long burnouts. this is a mid to low activity blog.

No drama. No harassment. I am here to have fun - if you have a problem with me, either approach me privately ( and calmly ) or click the block button and have a nice day.

I don't place time limits on replies. We get to them when we get to them and nine times out of ten, I'm always still interested! If one roleplay is just feeling stale or a muse is being difficult let's just make a new story! What matters to me is that me and my partner are having a good time.

ੈ𑁍༘  CONTENT WARNINGS

this blog contains dark & triggering themes meant for mature audiences ( minors / personals will be blocked ) and above the age of eighteen - viewer discretion advised. custom tags for triggers are fine.

dark and triggering themes related to violence, gore, pregnancy and vampirism will be present on this blog. This includes NSFW / SMUT as well but everything will be tagged and put under "read more" It should be kept in mind that my muse is legally 18 (and bisexual) and her age is verse dependant.
