YOON HYEIN
yangban / physician / 28
faceclaim: kim seolhyun
inspo: jo wilson (grey's anatomy) x
han heejae (my country: the new age)
The youngest daughter of the aristocratic Yoon family from Daegu, and one of the few state-licensed female physicians as of late. With a pedigree of hers, it's inevitable that Hyein strives to attain the perfection that her family expects (read: requires) from their offspring, albeit hopes aren't high for her as they have been weighing more on her older brother's shoulders. But that's precisely what makes her work even harder—she's eager to prove that she's capable of bringing honor to the clan through her own merits, that she's not some prized meat to only be paraded around and married off into whichever household her parents have chosen (not that she has much for prospects, anyway). As of late, Hyein's gunning to be a royal physician.
Wanted Connections:
⚘ Friends: old or new, any status!
⚘ Rival: this muse has always been at odds with Hyein when it came to their academic pursuits, moreso when they had to compete for the state-administered exam. Can be purely antagonistic, maybe even healthy or friendly rivalry. Must also be a physician, around Hyein's age. Open to male or female.
⚘ Mentee(s): may be in the medical field, or even those in the allied health professions (e.g. herb picker, medical assistant, midwife); Hyein pays it forward and teaches these muses the know-hows.
⚘ Arranged match: must be male and a yangban (her family's supercilious like that), around 28+. Connection progress to be discussed, as it can go multiple ways!

JEON YULHEE
jungin / royal investigator / 25
faceclaim: hong suzu
inspo: eloise bridgerton (bridgerton) x
rachel chu (crazy rich asians)
(Tentative background!) As the second daughter of the Jeons, Yulhee had been given more freedom in her life compared to her older siblings—so it's no surprise that she one day decided to deviate from their norms and become a royal investigator (after earnestly convincing her parents to allow her, of course), rather than a scholar, scribe, or a governess. Outspoken and able to use her wit to her advantage, Yulhee has always been a dreamer and longs to see what would happen should she disrupt the status quo, much to her family's chagrin. And while being a lady in their current society still had its limits, she's more than ready to tackle them head-on... After all, even the prettiest of the roses still have thorns.
Wanted Connections:
⚘ Friends: old or new, any status, preferably not a co-worker; these muses will pretty much be Yulhee's reprieve from the stress that comes with her occupation.
⚘ Healthy rivalry: can be someone from work or social season / debuted into society the same year as she did (where they were constantly being pitted against each other)! Dynamics similar to that of Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen from Gossip Girl.
⚘ Apple of her eye: someone she currently harbors a crush on / is in love with. Male, preferably older. Honestly envisioning this whole "opposites attract" thing, but this is open to any kind of dynamic! May or may not be endgame as well (up for debate).
