Part I

Born in Texas to first-generation immigrant parents, Mina's childhood was a blend of cultural richness and rigorous discipline. Her father, a renowned surgeon back in Osaka, often traveled for work, and Mina frequently accompanied him on these trips. Her mother, a skilled linguist, also contributed to Mina's well-rounded upbringing, emphasizing the importance of education and cultural heritage.

Despite her parents' professional backgrounds, they were initially supportive of Mina's burgeoning interest in ballet, recognizing it as a high-end form of art. They enrolled her in the best ballet school they could afford, watching with pride as her dedication and passion for dance grew.

However, in a Black-Swan-esque twist of faith, as soon as she came of age Mina began to see the dark underbelly of the industry. The initial enchantment with the beauty and precision of ballet gave way to a harsh reality marked by intense competition and unrealistic expectations.
Mina witnessed her fellow dancers, once vibrant and full of life, succumb to eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia, driven by the relentless pressure to maintain an ideal body image. The camaraderie that once bonded the dancers slowly eroded as they were pitted against each other by directors who exploited their ambitions.
It was even worse for young dancers, who had to endure relentless forthcoming directors, with their inappropriate suggestions, their invites, even their impoper touches, masked for innocent guides during rehearsals. The more cocky ones didn't even sugarcoat it - if one was to be their prima ballerina, well... let's just say the tutu stayed on during .

Mina's passion for ballet started to wane, but she kept pushing forward, hoping things might improve. Her breaking point came in a tragic (and lowkey suspicious) incident: a talented dancer, poised to take the lead in an upcoming production, was severely injured in a car accident under dubious circumstances. The immediate concern among the dancers was not for her well-being, but whether she would be able to perform. This cold, almost callous reaction shocked Mina, illuminating the toxic environment she was part of.

Disillusioned and heartbroken, this insanity drove Mina away, and she made the difficult decision to leave the world of classical ballet. Chucking the pointe shoes away, she turned to other forms of dance that had always brought her joy and freedom – contemporary and hip-hop.
She started a dance channel on social media, where she posted videos of her choreography and performances. Her channel became a platform for her to advocate for healthier approaches to dance and to share her story, inspiring many young dancers facing similar struggles.

 

Chapter II

 

Her parents, initially proud of her pursuit of ballet, became apprehensive when Mina decided to give up classical ballet to pursue contemporary dance and later considered a career in K-pop. Despite their reservations, they chose to support her unconditionally, recognizing her talent and dedication.

Her online success did not go unnoticed. Mina was soon headhunted by DSF, and is now a trainee under their roof, happy and ready to develop her skills and talents, and hopefully debut with their next girl group.

Read Before You Approach Me

✶ FOR PLOTTING. love plotting, sometimes more than roleplaying lmao. i love having connections between the characters, or have them know each other from before, because "just met" meetings are kinda cringe, unless they are executed well, of course. 
fear not to hit me up in PMs and go crazy. and when i say go crazy - i mean go crazy, i like crazy outlandish ideas, they make my brain turn on and work for the good good. the more you give me, the more emotion i feel from you - the more interested i will be and the more ideas my brain will spout.
I promise, it's gonna be fun.  all that said - im fine with winging too, if you hit me up out of the blue ic - i will probably respond, and still at some point in our wing, i will resort to pms or ooc room to ask you about a certain detail.

✶ TIME ZONE & PACE. Timezone is GMT, and pace is hectic. i work and live, so rpr is a hobby than it is a job, i keep my replies up to capacity.
Be aware that i do work a full time job and enjoy having a personal life outside of rpr, so i am scarcely active and also semi-awkward to interact, especially if i don't trust/like people, and i trust very hard.
Do not constantly poke me or remind me of our threads unless i specifically ask to be reminded. i never poke/remind - if our thread turns cold, i will simply move on and take it you lost muse. 

✶ OOC AGE & MATURE THREADS. I am very much an adult. I'm open to any and all genres from slice of life and lighthearted to be dark and angsty and . i don't get triggered easily, if at all, but if somehing does rub me wrong - best believe i will be up in your PMs in a flash and will politely let you know that this does not go down my street.
usually i forget to tag triggers or trigger words, so if something is a trigger for you - same rules apply - appear in my pms, be polite, and i will make the trigger disappear in a snap and will never speak of it again.
be rude and you will be blocked.
in regards to , kinks are pretty open and can be discussed should our plot contain or move forward toward .

✶ WRITING STYLE. usually i mirror my writing partner, but generally i would prefer if replies are reasonably short - i don't do multipara, and for para i have to be in the mood, or you should really be good enough to put me in the mood. on the plus side I'm perfectly fine with any pov, as long as we understand each other.

✶ GENRE LIMITS. Hard limits: anything involving feet, armpits, body hair, agere, weapons, bodily fluid, , and anything that includes minors, age gaps, degradation.
I will not even roleplay a "crush" with you if your character is young enough to not remember the y2k craze. 

✶ TAGGING. I prefer rooms to walls so tagging is fine. If i ask you to not tag me - please respect my wishes

✶ BIG NO-NOS. I will NOT roleplay anything mature, rated, or nsfw with characters or muns under 19. i will not roleplay agere, and predatory age gaps disgust me, please take your es elsewhere.
