My Story...

Growing up, Mirinae was always more physically weak when compared to her peers around her and at the the age of two, her parents were given devastating news by her paedetrician. 

"Mr and Mrs. Zhou, I'm afraid I have bad news." Dr Reinhart had told the two adults who were waiting nervously in his office.

Where was Mirinae?

Well, her two-years old self was seated at another corner of the office, playing with wooden blocks without a single care in the world and without the knowledge that her life was about to be changed forever. 

Her mother, upon hearing the news had immediately clutched onto her husband's arm, hoping for comfort but all that he could do was to give her a gentle pat as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder. 

"Mirinae has ventrical septal defect which simply put means that she has a hole in her heart."

At his words, her mother had almost immediately broken down into tears, opting to hide her face against her father's neck instead. 

"Is.. is there anything we can do, doctor?" Her father tried his best to stay calm despite his own heart feeling like a mountain had just built itself upon it. He gently rubbed Mirinae's mother's shoulder, trying to comfort the obviously distressed woman. 

"Yes but I can't give you a clear answer on how long she'll be able to live... I suggest you make the best of what little time you may possibly have." 

Ever since then, Mirinae was banned from sports, banned from playing with other kids and even banned from going out of the house for too long. If she did, her mother would almost immediately start bombarding her notifications with huge amounts of text and calls, demanding for her daughter's immediate return. This, of course, resulted in Mirinae often being shunned by the other kids in school who thought of her as pathetic, useless, and a goody-two shoes who did whatever "mummy asked her to". 

This didn't stop Mirinae from doing whatever she loved most. Sure, she didn't have any friends growing up but she'd discovered something much better. 

The company of the ocean. 

Mirinae was always drawn to the ocean but she herself didn't know why. There was always something so calming about the ocean which made her feel.. safe despite how others might feel about it. She spent her days by the ocean and as she grew up, her wishes to become a successful marine biologist grew. 

That was precisely what she did. 

Mirinae worked hard to become the top student in high school and that earned her a free ride to an Ivy League university where she proceeded to then become the youngest valedictorian, graduating with a degree in Marine Biology in her university. 

Before You Approach Me

1. I'm a GMT+8 but I'm usually asleep by 11:30pm on weekdays and 12am on weekends.
2. Please be sure to read Mirinae's profile before asking me to rp! It can definitely save you from a lot of confusion but if you still have questions, feel free to ask me about it.

Writing/Plotting Style

1. I tend to strive towards third pov, and I tend to novella.. a lot especially when my muse is UP.
2. The genres that I'm comfortable with vary from character to character. In Mirinae's case, most of her plots would probably be rather angsty due to her impending.. doom, you could say.

Activity/Reply Speed

1. I tend to get super busy on weekdays so replies are more likely on weekends.
2. The speed of my replies are very much dependant on my muse so it can vary. On some days it can be fast and on some, it can be slow.
3. The length of my replies depend on my muse too so yes, it can vary though it's usually novella. Please don't feel pressured to mirror! Write as comfortable as you can want! 
4. On weekdays, I'd most probably be around in the ooc or I'd be pushing out short replies.

Location Preferences

1. I'd honestly prefer rping in rooms rather than walls simply because I like to keep my walls clean.
2. Please do tag me if you want to drop a random starter or a planned starter! I wouldn't see otherwise. 
3. Yes, rping in dms is also a-okay with me.

Miscelaneous

1. Feel free to call me Koda or Chrome but I'd honestly prefer Koda! That's what most people on RPR calls me because of my username. 
2. I'm a music student ooc so hell yes come to me if you have any questions about music!
3. My ooc self and my ic self tend to be VERY different from each other and for this reason, please don't think that I hate you if my character isn't fond of you. Also, my other characters are : Erina and Rielle.
