gwyneira eunha jeon is born on christmas eve in swansea, wales. her father is the ceo of jeon industries, a renowned south korean biomedical and pharmaceutical company whilst her mother, jeon ceri, is a former prima ballerina and the artistic director for the national ballet in wales.

eira is born with underlying heart issues as a result of being premature, her birth leaving both her and her mother in a critical state. just as eira is scheduled to undergo invasive heart surgery, she seems to be miraculously cured in the early mornings of christmas day. such joy and relief are short lived as not long after, eira's mother passes away due to complications from the birth.

as a result of the circumstances of her birth her family, as she grows up, is incredibly protective of her. she is handed the world on a silver platter, never needing nor wanting for anything a day in her life. whilst her father's business is involved in some shady and rather unethical practices within the medical world, hidden well by their mass fortunes, eira is kept strictly out of it and sheltered from such harsh realities. her two older brothers assume the helm of her father's heirs, leaving eira to fall into the one place left for her — her mother's element.

she had a natural talent for ballet that was evident from youth, having been placed into ballet lessons at a young age. at four years old, when the family of three relocated to south korea, eira begins to find her place in the world of dance. what starts off as a hobby evidently reveals that eira could never escape her mother's legacy, not that she wants to. the stage is predestined for her, as her prodigious talent seems to speak for itself. as soon as she had been able to walk she had only wanted to dance and before she'd ever even spoken a word, her language had been that of ballet.

she advances quickly in her studies of the ballet world with the ease of someone both massively talented but also well connected. it is in highschool when she her love for dance becomes more deeply ingrained into her soul and her obsession with ballet takes root. in a world she can't control, it is the precision and demanded perfection of her art that she seems to be the ruler of on her own. thus, dance becomes the very essence of her life and she begins to lose sleep over it. her relationships and friendship crumble under the weight of addiction to her soaring career.

until she loses control. not even eighteen and she'd already lost that sense of power over dance that she once adored. she had allowed this dedication to her craft to consume her. but she doesn’t stop, doesn’t really know how to and so she continues to spiral deeper into the void. having been granted admission into the korean national ballet in her highschool days, rising from the ranks of the corps de ballet to grand soloist within her first few years, she is pushed to her limit in order to be perfect for the stage yet she begins to struggle with her own mental and physical health. ballet being her sole driving force was sucking the life out of her and the compulsive need to dance consumes her days and then her nights until it culminates in stifling paranoia, insomnia and hallucinations from her lack of sleep. she became detached from both reality and the people around her entirely. 

in an attempt to regain control, she turns to the one thing her family warded her away from. her connections to biomedical field meant obtaining the necessary prescriptions for her anxiety medication and tranquilisers were simple. the allowed her to forget her struggles if only for a small amount of time and allow her to continue shining on the stage as she had always done. she traded all that was left of her self-control and sanity for slivers of happiness but it soon becomes more of an addiction than a mere escape.

during the last act of her swan lake performance with the korean national ballet, as she in on the verge of a promotion to the companies most elite title, her substance abuse almost causes a crippling scandal. she completes her show brilliantly, one that would go down in history as possibly her greatest performance but when the curtain draws, eira loses consciousness and is rushed to the hospital. after three days comotose, she awakens to an ultimatum from the company; six months of rehabilitation and psychotherapy and then she is to be sent to her mother's alma mater to complete an accelerated dance degree, allowing herself to recuperate. upon completely the degree in the minimum of two and half a years, she will be allowed to rejoin the company and take her place as a prima ballerina and principal dancer. all knowledge of her scandal is discretely brushed under the rug with the help of her family's money and connections.

after completely her required rehab, she begins at daskalos university in the 2023-2024 school year, majoring in dance. she is inducted soon after she settles in under the tutelage of professor avila, welcomed into the dionysia as their cassandra.
