eighty-three years ago, on the 24th of october, jung soojung graced the world with her presence. born to a family that was responsible for a shrine to their mountain god for hundreds of years, she grew up to become a beautiful shrine maiden with a strong yet gentle heart. everyone in her village loved her, respected her. for twenty one years, she was happy despite the dark stories behind her family. to prevent the god from cursing her people, an offering is made. one's most precious thing, to the mountain god's messenger, is required.

that is, a human sacrifice.

however as the shrine was lost and fell into disrepair, the village was then hit by a terrible plague that had no cure yet at the time, and the people believed it was her family's fault for not caring about the shrine more than they should have.

being part of the family that was close to the mountain god, it was not a surprise that the people thought it was their fault. when soojung's mother died, soojung noticed a change in her sibling's mood, who was then starting to believe that the curse was real. the villages were in a panic, which caused her father to decide to take his daughters away from the area - only to find her younger sibling missing.

soojung frantically searched the whole village before she found her sibling. in horror, she discovered that they were playing the role of god's messenger. and they decided that soojung should be the sacrifice. claiming it was to appease the mountain god, they tried to convince soojung to agree being the sacrifice. 

soojung refused, of course she would. she tried to escape, but before she could even escape the place they were at, a group of desperate village men ganged up on her, pushed her down before she could even take one step outside the door. they all wanted to be saved from the plague. they all wanted to leave. 

soojung tried her best not to blame them, believed it was the plague's fault, but when they broke her legs so that she was not able to run anymore, she lost her faith in humanity. they threw her down in the basement of the shrine, making the condition of her legs worsen and she was then truly unable to walk. she was locked in there without food, water or light.

she screamed for help, tried to crawl her way up but she could not, especially with her legs. she screamed, and screamed, and screamed until her voice was hoarse and dry and gone. without light to mark her days, she slowly succumbed to madness, fighting herself between letting herself get mad at her former friends and family, and praying to the mountain god to save them all with her sacrifice. 

but slowly, she leaned more into the former - blaming whoever there was to blame for the suffering she was enduring. she blamed the mountain god, cursed him. was she not a good shrine maiden? why was this happening to them? why did she have to suffer like this? 

soojung died with betrayal and anger in her heart at the age of 23, and the plague still continued even after her death - which meant that her sacrifice was nothing. her father committed suicide at the loss of his daughter. carrying so much hatred and rage in her heart, she had become a ghost. she was awakened to see her own corpse rotting down on the ground. the trauma from her death was too much that her brain immediately sealed her memories away from her, making her unable to remember anything from when she was still living.

Personality soojung may not be as cheerful as the others out there, but she is friendly and she does not say no to any attempts to talk to her. it's most likely a result of having no one to talk to over the years, but she welcomes any friends she can get. she does not trust easily, and it takes quite a while for her to warm up to someone. she has been so used to the isolation she has felt over the years, that her heart seems to be attaching itself and rejecting someone at the same time. fearing that she may just be left alone in the end, she tries not to get too close to anyone else.

she is a smart girl, who uses her knowledge to her advantage, though all she wants is to lift her boredom up and find something that'll give even more colors in her life. anything will be good, honestly. she has no idea why she's trying to seek the feeling of being alive, even when she knows she's dead.
