Hello, hello, time for my- uh- sporadic posting schedule! (There is no schedule) [also, I made the drawings for all of my Mcs at once, but I was too lazy to post all their stories all at once, so you can see that I was- uh... more or less motivated in making Hee-Jin and Phya]
Here's Hee-Jin 'Moonie' Yoon!
She's Wasian 50/50 Irish and Korean, Opal is fully Korean in this route and Hee-Jin doesn't really look like her. It causes a little (*cough* lot *cough*) of self-consciousness... she stays using she/her pronouns throughout.
Hee-Jin, in step 1, is a diva and a girls-girl, she doesn't outright dislike guys, but it's easier to make her dislike you if you 'discriminate' against people who are girls. She had a big group of friends befire she moved, she's still in touch with them.
She doesn't like it when people confuse her as an adopted child of Opal because of how different they look from eachother. She always notices how people look at her when she introduces herself. She always has to explain that, no she's not a koreaboo, she really is Korean, just white-passing. It annoys her heavily that she has to explain every time.
Step 2 is where she becomes a 'reserved, proper lady' and is less insecure about looking different from Opal, and stopped with straightening her hair (she has Irish curls). She's in denial about crushing on Qiu. She's about as popular as Qiu as well, so she doesn't have to explain herself of her name, she doesn't mind them and runs herself exhausted with being there for everyone.
She's teamworking for both Qiu and Tamarack, unassuming and accepting for Qiu, Praising and admiring for Tamarack.
I wanted to make a different Qiu romance route that isn't my main Mc, so he's Hee-Jin! Although I don't think she'll end up with them at the end? I feel like if it was a storyline, then it would be 'a love that was never meant to be' type of situation.
