⎯⎯ 　𝐈𝐋𝐇𝐖𝐀 　⚘  until the last petal falls [ad.]

⚘　im, house of the birch tree

⚘　sangmin (commoner class)

⚘　physician assistant and herb collector

⚘　 24 years old

⚘　most likely to be your pseudo little sister

 

the youngest daughter of one of the richest merchant in hanseong. she was brought up to pass the gungnyeo (court lady) selection by her aunt but her father was strongly against it despite her older sisters already court ladies. with the freedom to choose, seohyang paved her way in becoming a physician—the realization of her goal stemming from having watched her mother and eldest sister succumbed to illness when she could only do nothing but watch.

 

after an encounter with an assasin and volunteering for the war, her trauma caused by her past has begun to fill her with fear whether in her waking state and in her sleep.

 

⚘　once upon a four leaf clover; you and seohyang had been childhood friends. her title of "grim reaper" never quite deterred you to approach her--because to you, she's your good luck charm. but soon your bond frayed. all because the closest person to you left this world--and you think it's her fault. (preferably male who has/had a crush on her, friends to enemies)

 

⚘　generally: friends around her age, co-workers!

⚘　cheon, house of the falcon

⚘　sangmin (formerly a noble)

⚘　a falconer and hunjang at a private academy

⚘　33 years old

⚘　the cool ahjumma

 

the eldest daughter to the cheons of the house of falcon. once known to be the only female falconer around hanseong and one of the best in falconry until an illness came to plagued her. with her wings tied and future bleak, suryeon could now only dream and project ideals to the young children in her village by opening a seodang ( private school ) to educate and advocate themselves from those who has wronged them. while it opens all year long, during winter, she teaches a couple of student falconry practices.

 

⚘　to forgive, to forget; you were her lady-in-waiting during her time as a noble. even as she had fallen from grace, you stayed by her side. however, in a moment of weakness, you had colluded with a woman who wanted suryeon harm and began to supply her with herbs that had caused her tragedy. being betrayed by her closest was the last blow that sent her spiralling and up until now, the bond you have has frozen over. (female, close to her age) 

⚘　chae, house of the black tortoise

⚘　yangban

⚘　duke, deputy minister of justice

⚘　39 years old

⚘　the stoic with a warm heart

 

chae seongyeom is a household name within the ministry of justice (and the royal assembly, in general). known for hard carrying the legacy of the late duke chae to restore their family's name after years of teetering on the edge of the societal status. tunnel visioning towards his goal, most assumed he will never enter the world of the married. until a certain diamond of the season caught his eyes and he made it his purpose to care for her. his world shifted into frames of colourful scenes until reality shook him from the clouds. it seemed as if his 7 years of marriage was a mirage and he is now living in a nightmare, stuck in the bleak morning where he found his wife gone and divorce paper with her family seal left on the table.

 

⚘　thought you had my back; a bodyguard who has grown up with him. they are each other's confidant, despite often poking at each other's side. however as they stepped into adulthood, the path diverged. and despite on a lookout for each other's back, secrets began pile like snow.

 

⚘　hwangbo, house of the windflower (anemone)

⚘　cheonmin

⚘　gisaeng, (tentative) spy

⚘　34 years old

⚘　a shell of a woman, a monster

 

(a soft tl;dr) born to the once revered hwangbo clan, house of the windflower, from the kingdom of silla, hwangbo wolhye's life had been a series of watching noble men abused their power over her mother and on herself. tainted in the early years of her young adulthood, wolhye began to strip away her heart. she tossed the child she had birthed and her lover, and became a shell of a woman who seeks people for power, her goal to become the most powerful woman in joseon and bring down those who had wronged her.

 

⚘　stepping stones; men of ruling class that she lures for money and connections as stepping stones to rise in power. once they are of no use, she would discard of them like a mere pebble into the river. despite all their efforts to return to her, she would neither see you and act as you have never crossed paths before. (2-3 male, ruling class--yangban, jungin, "lovers" to enemies)

 

⚘　the guardian; she has tossed aside her child from her life and you have decided to raise the child in her place. in turn, she sent you provisions, money and materials needed despite never once asking to see the child. (male/female, commoner--sangmin/cheonmin)
