i've interrupted a deep thought haven't i? i can see it growing smaller in your eyes.
A story straight from the picture books. They met in their young adulthood. The two of them were both part of the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra. She played violin, he was the conductor, and the rest was history.
Every day of her life was filled with music. Her parents playing together in the living room. Her father in his study composing a new piece. Her mother upstairs tuning her instrument. She was 6 years old when her parents moved back to Shanghai, China (in the Changning District) to be closer to her mother's family. It wasn't long after that, Eunbi picked an instrument up herself. The violin first, under the tutelage of her mother. Then the harp. Eventually, when she was old enough, she was entrusted with her mom's guzheng - her Chinese zither.
The instrument had been passed down through generations. There was a story in the instrument. Changning was known for being rich in culture, and the instrument was born in that culture.
But as Eunbi's musical inclination and skill increased, her parents marriage fell apart. In between school lessons, Eunbi spent time with her mother learning the classical arts: guzheng, dance, calligraphy and more. When she slept, the fighting began.
Eventually, her parents sat her down, and announced their separation.
For the twelve year old she was at the time, it felt like a big slap to the face.
Her father moved out, and her mother got stricter. There were no more breaks between lessons and school. No more free time. No more fun. It was absolutely suffocating being under the tiger mom that had grown from the separation. Every day, Eunbi felt closer and closer to losing it. And then she finally graduated high school.
The big deceit was revealed when Eunbi announced she wasn't going to the special arts college her mother had been aspiring to for years. Instead, she was packing her bags, and moving in with her father. It was an ugly split, with lots of fighting, leaving Eunha crying the entire plane ride to Korea.
It didn't get any better with her father, though. With nothing but a single suitcase, and a backpack full of scattered belongings, she showed up to her father's home to discover he had a new family. A new wife with two twin boys. She toughed it out for a week before being choked out of there as well.
Her father didn't want anything to do with his old family anymore.
She was left with no other choice than to make it on her own. All she could afford was a dingy motel, in the basement of an even sketchier building. For weeks she stayed there, until her part time job at a convenience store allowed her enough money for an apartment of her own.
It wasn't pretty. Her bathroom was in her kitchen, and her bedroom was her living room. She could stretch out her arms and touch each wall while standing in the middle of the room. But it was hers. There she stayed, working three jobs and swallowing the shattered remnants of the life she thought she knew.
It was through a friend at her convenience store job that she learned of DSF hosting auditions.
Needing a glimmer of hope, and music to reignite her life, she decided to go. Hand in hand with the friend, they showed up to the auditions, and each gave it their best.
After weeks of biting her fingernails waiting for the results, they finally arrived. Eunbi/Baozi was out.
Pixie was in.
During her hiatus, she worked diligently on producing new music for aurora's comeback, with many of the tracks since her joining having her name in the credits in some shape or other.
She resumed activities with aurora, completing many projects, until it was announced by DSF that aurora would be disbanding. Many members terminated their contracts to pursue different careers, but Pixie stayed put.
She has since retreated to becoming a trainee, harnessing more of her talents and refining them. She's picked up a bit of a vlogging habit, using the camera to let Flickers get a dive into her life now (and maybe to reminisce on what could've been and what was), and to keep her occupied.

Being of mixed heritage, Eunbi has always struggled with feeling "not Chinese enough" and "not Korean enough". It always seemed to be that way with her parents. The kids at school used to when they heard her dad speak in Mandarin. Her coworkers in Korea for having a Korean name and speaking in an accent.
It's led to a bit of an identity crisis, which is why she prefers to go by just Eunbi, the new name she's given herself.

in progress ... always changing
born in shanghai she's travelled a lot through the country as well as to japan and korea
Despite this, she also feels big emotions, and struggles to hide them. If she's sad, she cries. If she's angry, she storms off to her room. Little by little, she is beginning to master handling her emotions. Usually, her big bursts of emotion are done in the privacy of her room.
Due to her innocence, she is easily susceptible to manipulation. She's found herself in more than one suspicious situation. She also has a horrible sense of direction and gets lost frequently. On the flip side, it also gives her the benefit of having a heart of gold. Eunha will never ignore someone in need, often being the first to extend a hand where needed.
_____
romance & friendship
When Eunha arrived to Korea, she was inexperienced in every aspect. Her first times were all taken by former Janus member Cha Eunwoo, who led her on and broke her heart into a million pieces. Following that, she shared one confusing kiss with former trainee Jung Wooseok, who also betrayed her trust and left her in the dirt.
Since then, she has sworn to focus on growing herself, and has focused more on nurturing friendships. Within her group, aurora, Eunha has been befriended by the leader Miso. Miso has been by Eunha's side through all the hard times. Never judging, simply listening and helping. She has shown Eunha that she can be loved. She has also met Lisa, another confident woman that has extended her friendship circle.

piercings & tattoos
Eunha has no tattoos as of yet. She has a series of ear piercings and a belly button piercing (see below), though she changes the jewelry frequently (depending on comeback needs).

CHEESE
Meet Cheese.
An orange kitten that Eunha found in the dumpster on her way home from practice. He was freezing, starving and covered in fleas. So she had to keep him. A bit of care later, and he has become the spunky mascot of the aurora dorm.
I reserve the right to use any generic orange cat photo to represent Cheese.
