appearance
Ahri’s appearance exudes an ethereal yet grounded elegance. Pale skin radiates a faint glow, hinting at an ageless beauty. Dark brown-amber eyes, a striking trait of her lineage, hold a piercing intensity that both captivates and unsettles those who meet her gaze. Raven-black hair flows effortlessly, cascading over her shoulders in soft waves that catch the light. During work, it’s tied back in a simple braid that shimmers with a silvery hue under certain lighting.
Beyond the hospital, her style leans toward modern elegance. The fluidity of her movements and the air of mystery surrounding her create an aura that feels almost untouchable, as though she belongs to another world.
personality
She is composed, introspective, and reserved, shaped by her immortality and the weight of her family’s legacy. She values precision and control, both in her surgeries and her emotions. Fascinated by the fragility of life, she is driven by an almost obsessive desire to be in its proximity—to have another’s life within her hands.
Like many in neurosurgery, she possesses a sharp narcissistic streak, cultivated by her exceptional skills and success in her field. She takes pride in her precision, intelligence, and unique insights, often viewing herself as singularly capable in ways others simply cannot be. While she maintains professionalism, her quiet egotism can surface in subtle ways—a dismissive glance, a sharp retort, or an internal certainty that she alone can achieve perfection. She thrives on the recognition her abilities bring, yet struggles with the reality that no amount of admiration can truly fill the void of immortality.
While she seeks to save lives and protect humanity, she can’t deny the satisfaction that comes from proving—again and again—that she is extraordinary in a world that feels increasingly ordinary to her.
family
Her family, the Guwol Clan (구월; 九尾, meaning "Nine Tails"), takes its name from their gumiho lineage, honoring their ancestral identity and magic while remaining cloaked in elegance and secrecy.
Identified by their unparalleled beauty, refined intellect, and cultured presence, the Guwol family has quietly influenced society for centuries. Their love for the arts and philosophy is well-known (they are avid art collectors and art auction savants), as is their impeccable manner of speech and charm, making them revered yet untouchable figures in social circles. Despite their esteemed reputation, the family keeps an intentionally low profile, maintaining a deliberate distance from any conflict, the magical community, and the mortal world to hide their true nature of immortality.
In the present day, members of the Guwol Clan blend well among the civilians in the Republic of Korea, and their control of immortality has been carefully concealed through generations. Their estates, cloaked in mystery, feature subtle homages to their association with the gumiho, such as fox motifs, moonlit gardens, and ancient talismans that resonate with their protective magic.
Ahri, the present youngest of the Guwol Clan, personifies their timeless grace and hidden power. Her every movement reflects the discipline of her upbringing, balancing the grace of her lineage with a quiet determination to forge her own identity.
career
Ahri's decision to become a neurosurgeon was not born out of a noble desire to save lives, but from a sharp curiosity—a fascination with the fragility of humanity. In her world of immortals, where time stretched out like an endless horizon, mortality was an enigma. Surrounded by ageless relatives in the Guwol Clan, Ahri watched as time slipped through their fingers like water, untouched and unhurried. They never struggled against the inevitable; they were untouched by it entirely. To her, the concept of mortality felt… almost decadent, an ephemeral treasure that mortals clung to desperately, even as it slipped away.
To her, the human struggle against death seemed as though a battle fought with the kind of intensity and passion she could never quite touch. While her family, poised and perfect in their immortality, wandered in a world untouched by the pressures of time, Ahri found herself captivated by those forced to face the fragility and limits of their human bodies. Every emotion that these patients possessed was so raw—the way their lives were constantly up for grabs, clutched in trembling hands that knew their time was finite.
In the endless memoirs of her family’s legacy, Ahri felt the weight of eternity press down on her. Her family, despite their grace and sophistication, were prisoners of time’s absence. Their immortality, while seemingly perfect, left them with little to challenge. The world had long since lost its novelty to them, and their lives became an unbroken cycle of serene detachment. Ahri, on the other hand, found herself suffocating in their endless calm, yearning for something real, something urgent. Medicine was her escape. It offered a world where every decision had weight, every moment mattered—where the fragility of life was something she could hold in her hands and mold as she pleased.
Ahri’s pursuit of neurosurgery was never an act of altruism. It wasn’t about healing the sick or helping those in pain. She chose it for herself—to understand what it meant to be human, to confront the things she could never fully experience, and perhaps—just perhaps—to bend mortality to her will, all while remaining untouched by it. Life and death, entwined in a fragile dance, became her plaything. It was her rebellion against the suffocating perfection of her immortal world, a world that never questioned its place in time. Neurosurgery, with its high stakes and razor-thin margins, gave her a way to touch mortality without ever being touched by it herself. Through the scalpel, she could carve her mark on the world, manipulating the delicate, finite nature of life and death like an artist working on a canvas that would never age.
