WELCOMING: CHEN “ILA” AIHUA

CAREER INFORMATION:

━✧ SIGNED: May 30th, 2015  ━✧ DEBUT: July 16th, 2016 ━✧ GROUP:  Eden ━✧ POSITION:   Lead dancer, vocalist, visual ━✧ VOICE CLAIMS:   Joy, Kim Doyeon, Lee Soodam

BIOGRAPHY:

Chen Aihua was born in Harbin, China to loving, albeit doting parents. As the only child of an internal auditor and a bookkeeper, Aihua was her parents’ pride and joy. They always made sure she was happy and healthy, encouraging her to take up whatever hobbies and interests she wanted - within reason. From a young age, Aihua was interested in dance and began dancing at the age of four. Growing up, dancing was her most consistent hobby, and among the few that stuck with her for more than a year. With her many interests and everchanging dreams for the future, Aihua found it hard to pick just one thing she wanted to focus on. In her 2nd year of secondary school, Aihua was given the opportunity to study abroad. Among the countries she could study in, South Korea caught her eye. Soon enough, she was packing up to study in the foreign land, not realising until a few weeks into the semester that she wasn’t fully prepared to be away from her parents. She had a host family that she had grown closer to by that point, but it still didn’t compare to the familiarity of her real family. Bouts of homesickness and depression made it hard for her to continue studying, but something deep inside her told her that she made it too far to give up just yet. Just see how you feel once you’ve graduated, she told herself, and then you can decide if you want to go back home. It wasn’t easy, but eventually, she got used to South Korea and even made a few friends. These friends even introduced her to K-Pop and encouraged her to audition for a few companies. Aihua tried out for a small group of companies, Termina Entertainment being one of them, and got accepted into most of them despite her doubts. Termina Entertainment was the one she liked the most, in the end, and she soon began her training in May 2015. Training was also no easy feat for the young girl, but she was eventually placed into Termin8 along with seven other girls whom she was growing closer with. Now, as a member of Eden and going by the stage name Ila, Aihua is a star built out of courage and diligence, something she will never let herself forget.

WELCOMING: EURYALE MOON

CAREER INFORMATION:

━✧ SIGNED:  January 1st, 2020 ━✧ DEBUT: September 7th, 2010 ━✧ GROUP:  HEART  ━✧ POSITION:  Main Vocalist, Main Dancer  ━✧ VOICE CLAIMS:   Park Bom, Jamie Park, Ailee

BIOGRAPHY:

The ocean is cold; the pebbles rough below the soles of her feet, and still she stands; screaming outwards. The wind burns her young face, reddening her cheeks. Her hair is long and black and spreads like ink behind her. and she screams like it rips her throat. tears fall, nails dig into the palms of her little hands and draw blood. She has lost, and she does not understand, and so she does as her myth dictates; she screams and bellows and becomes her own sorrow. She is daughter, twice she is sister. Stheno is first and she is fire and mountain. She stands tall, towering over all of her peers. her face is blank, always, emotions locked away tightly. Fortress as a girl. Medusa is third; and though their family has little, medusa makes it her kingdom to reign. Powerful, matronly before her time. She cares, she worries, she knows how to comfort people. Born between them, Euryale feels inferior. Euryale is ordinary. Her mother calls her shallow; vapid. She takes interest in princesses and makeup and hairstyles and all of the things her sisters are too tough or worldly to care about. She enjoys her prettiness, and her mother and sisters look down upon her for it; though they are pretty themselves. It's not enough to just be pretty, they roll their eyes at her. Euryale inhabits, too easily, the role of The Other Girls.   Their father left early. Medusa was born and he was gone. No explanation is given to them; and he becomes a banned topic. So banned that they are not to even acknowledge they have a father in the first place. He leaves them, and their mother struggles; raises them as best she can in her poverty. It's an absence that Euryale is far too young to understand. She only understands her lack of mothering, and thus resentment is born. And when fits are thrown over chipped nails or torn clothes, her mother does her best to hide resentment returned. When it comes to Euryale's schooling, she is less tactful. I expect intelligent daughters, she says. Euryale struggles where her sisters excel and so her mother thinks her too lazy, too vain. I suppose my only hope for You is that you find a patient man. But Euryale is still quiet. To be disliked in your own family is the type of thing to dissuade one from talking. She is quiet and unnoticed. unless she sings. It's then that people listen.   Σθενώ. strength. Μέδουσα. guardian. Εὐρυάλη. far-roaming. And roam she does. Her little english town is the kind that nobody ever escapes from. At fourteen years old, she sees it in her peers; the roots of their parents digging into their brains. Already, they begin to transform, set out onto paths laid out for them. Euryale will not become her mother nor father. She sings for her school, a gathered event. She sits at a piano and her cries are heard. A talent scout hands her a card, and though she travels to London only to be told that there is no place in music there for girls like you, Euryale roams. They put her in contact with a record label in Korea. She sends a recording, and before she can blink she's alone in her parents' birthplace. They train her, not only in voice, but in being. she's crafted into the ideal. Perhaps her alleged vapidity has come in handy after all. She enjoys the attention. She likes to be perfect, likes - just a little - to feel above the average person. You must be exceptional, they tell her, you cannot be ordinary. She tells them that all she has ever wanted is to be less ordinary. She is unveiled to the world alongside eight other girls. More sisters. That's fine. She was born a perpetual sister, and so she does as her myth dictates. She becomes her sorrow. She is known, above anything else, as emotion. Reduced to it, at times. Her voice is as pure as it's heavy, a cry- sometimes a bellow. Full of soul, some say. Grating? Rich. Raw. She just wails. She sings straight from the heart. It's unrefined, it's unbridled. Wherever you stand, Euryale's singing stirs emotion in people. She's pretty and talented and loves the attention. Euryale embraces fame. She reveres to be one of her girl group's pantheon. She was one of few. Several factor led to the disbandment of the group; none of which Euryale acknowledged until she had no choice but accept it was over. As much as she enjoyed fame, Euryale makes no effort to continue on when the group disintegrates. Perhaps she intends to, at the beginning, but she'd had a lifetime of fulfilling little prophecies. And, see, she'd found a patient man. He's a star in his own right; had courted her from a few years after her debut; and in many ways had grown up alongside her. He wears her on his arm with pride, and she likes it. She enjoys the looks, enjoys the jealousy, enjoys the articles and speculations. She becomes nothing but his, a trophy of sorts, a dependent in a way. She lives in his house, gives him all of herself, falls in love and stays that way. And that's where it all becomes a problem; vapidity and vanity and unintelligence and naivete, and all of her flaws. She convinces herself the lipstick on his collars belongs to her. Catches glimpses of texts on his phone and pretends not to notice. Because he's powerful and secure, and so he's given her a life that she couldn't make for herself; she was nothing solo. Nothing without her family, without her group mates, all she had was to be his. And he's caught with another woman by the media, and it's front page news, and the country laughs at her when she plays the role of loving girlfriend at his next event. Has she no sense of worth? What could she do? She was without strength or guardian. All her mythology gave her was sorrow. She is a perpetual sister. Three of the girls from her group were the same age as her. It was her unbreakable bond. And they invite her to reunite, a celebration. It had nearly been a decade since they first took the stage together. The country is happy to see them together, a seed is planted, and they start to discuss a second chance. The day they sign the contract, Euryale moves her stuff out of his apartment and parts without even a goodbye. Whatever. She can write her own story.

BIOGRAPHY:

Kitty Eunmi Jung was born on Halloween night in 1994 in Houston, Texas. She is the oldest of two children. Kitty debuted as the maknae of the nine member girl group, Major, in 2010. However, shortly after their debut, Kitty was forced to leave the group due to a mystery illness that forced frequent fainting spells. For her own safety, she choose to exit the group and end her idol career before it ever began. Fans mourned the lost of one of their favorites from the group and the outcry about her departure urged her to not give up. Secretly, Kitty decided to release music under the moniker, K.I.N.G (Kitty Is Never Gone). She was able to release music under this moniker independently for months before fans connected the dots when they found a KING song in her Twitter likes. This prompted her to come out and confirm and claim the identity of KING. From then on, she decided to go by King Kitty as her official stage name. Kitty was an affiliate of the D.VL hip hop collective for about two years before she rejoined Major in 2011. She was the only member who refused to take on an official debut and instead release solo music onto her YouTube or SoundCloud, only. Most of the time she funded her own projects so that her company would not try to wrangle her into promotions. In her time in Major and through her solo work, she’s earned the eromaknae title for her open sex appeal. After Major disbanded, she continued to release by herself. In 2019, she was one of the four Major members who agreed to do a special stage at Gayo Daejun. The four friends got together and decided to give themselves another shot. Unfortunately they were not able to take their name with them and settled on Heart. Kitty has been the eye of many scandals, including one that landed her in a stint in rehab. However, her infectious personality and commitment to her craft make her a hard person to knock off. Growing to become more than her scandals, Kitty is slowly becoming a renowned producer and songwriter for others and not just for her personal projects. While at Termina, she plans to give herself the real shots she feels like she deserved while under poor management. Now in Heart, she wants to become the best version of herself to prove that you’re never too old to restart your dreams and show what could have been had they actually been in the care of people who could properly manage them.

BIOGRAPHY:

Born into a family of naturally-talented musical actors, Son Yiseo — commonly known as Yara — also grew up to be a singer, although not in the same field as the rest of her family. Growing up as a bubbly child, Yara often put a smile in everyone’s faces. She’s always so soft and kind; too much, that it made her an easy target to be bullied. During her last year in elementary, however, her parents found out about her current situation and decided to move right then and there. She continued her studies in Seoul and pursued her interest in music. Yara was in her freshmen year in high school when she auditioned for Termina Entertainment, and signed under the label a few months after. She continued her training there and took part in Termin8, the company’s special trainee program. She debuted with the members of EDEN in 2016, as the group’s vocalist, dancer, and face of the group.

BIOGRAPHY:

From an early age, Narae learned there was no use in complaining. It didn't change anything. Instead of running away from your problems, you had to face them head-on and fight if you wanted to survive. She would survive, and he would, too. Because she couldn't lose him, not her father, especially after her mother and younger sister had abandoned them. At the age of twelve, she became the provider and caretaker of her ailing father. There were many struggles as they tried to stay afloat, barely making ends meet as her father was unable to work. Narae took on the responsibility of earning an income, even lying about her age, to secure part-time jobs. Some didn't last long as they discovered the truth, while others paid her under table given the circumstances. She was grateful to the latter. However, as time went by, the stress and constant fear began to take its toll. Narae lost her cheerful and friendly character and settled into a new cold and closed off persona. Building up a wall, she lost many of her close friends as she became entirely focused on her father and making ends meet. So by the time she was sixteen, she wasn't unsettled at the move to Seoul. The new city offered plenty of opportunities, especially for her father's health, with access to new doctors and treatments. The two moved in with relatives, and the burdens she felt slowly began to ease. Narae soon began to shift the focus away from her father as he started to recover, to herself. At that time, she grew interested in literature and music, thanks to her favorite instructor. Ms. Lee taught her the importance of writing down her own experiences and stories. As time progressed, she fell in love with the skill and moved onto lyrics. Upon graduation, Narae decided she wanted to become a songwriter. Nevertheless, getting into companies with no real experience proved difficult. She had tried entering several companies. Their recommendation was always the same that she should train to be an idol. After hearing it so many times, she finally caved in, changing her strategy. In 2012, she joined Termina Entertainment. She had no real plans of actually debuting as an idol. She just needed enough time to showcase her talent to be signed as a songwriter. While training, she worked with many seniors and instructors to improve her skills, and in that time, her view changed. For the first time in her life, Narae decided to stop fighting against everything. Instead, she would go with the flow and follow wherever this journey led her. Almost four years later, she debuted as Raye, the leader and main rapper of Eden.

BIOGRAPHY:

Teddy’s existence was never meant to happen. Born in the middle of the bloodshed and strife of the Kree-Skrull war, his parents were Kree member Mar-Vell and Princess Anelle of the Skrulls. Because they feared for his safety, Teddy was sent to Earth as an infant with his nursemaid, now making a life for themselves in Brooklyn, New York. Upon arrival, it was learned that Teddy’s birth father passed away. Now posing as a single mother, she posed as a real-estate agent and created a humble life for herself and Teddy. From a young age, Teddy proved to be athletic, joining in gymnastics, martial arts, and dance classes from the age of three. Growing up, he wanted to fit in and would often use his shapeshifting abilities to do so. However, he learned eventually there were more important things than fitting in and refrained from using his shapeshifting for frivolous reasons. At last when he was 13, he attempted to shoot his shot and audition for Termina Entertainment with his dancing skills. In October of 2010, he signed on to become an idol trainee for a proposed new boy group that would debut in a few years’ time. He trained hard during his trainee period, honing in on his dancing and vocal skills. From the beginning, Teddy has shown interest in helping with choreographing for the group, as well, partly due to his natural dancing ability and good work ethic. At least, debuting in June of 2013, Teddy couldn’t be any happier to provide others with the respite of happiness and joy with their music and performance.

WELCOMING: LEE “LUZE” AREUM

CAREER INFORMATION:

━✧ SIGNED: June 28th, 2007 ━✧ DEBUT: January 10th, 2010 ━✧ GROUP: CREEP  ━✧ POSITION: Vocalist, Lead Rapper, Visual ━✧ VOICE CLAIMS: Seora, Alice Vicious, Ash B, Queen Wa$abii, KittiB, Kasper

━✧ SOLO DEBUT: May 16th, 2018  ━✧ FANDOM NAME: Crowns ━✧ FANDOM COLOUR: Marigold (#fcc72c) ━✧ FAN ACCOUNT: Here

BIOGRAPHY:

Born in November of 1988 to a young, unwed mother, Areum was immediately adopted by a family from Canada and whisked across the globe as a newborn. Her integration into the Vaughn family was a celebration to some, or a public spectacle for others-- Jaekyung, the matriarch of the family, was known for her many charitable causes, and the adoption of Areum and eventually two other children from Korea was thought to be yet another charity case by her critics. The early years of her childhood, for the most part, were uneventful. From private schools, arranged play-dates with the children of family friends and business partners, there was little for Areum to complain about. When she was twelve years old, things took a turn for the worst when her parents got divorced, causing her and her two younger siblings to be whisked away South Korea with their mother.

 Wrapped up in the bright lights of Seoul, Jaekyung vicariously pushed her eldest daughter towards the entertainment industry, starting with her modeling for school uniforms and tween clothing lines. By age fourteen, Areum passed her audition and was accepted into her first music company. After several unsuccessful debut attempts, Areum shuffled through two more companies before signing with Termina Entertainment in 2007. This attempt was far more successful as she was considered for a group over a year into her tenure, and eventually debuted in CREEP in 2010. 

 While CREEP was well received, Areum dealt with a fair share of criticism for her Western mentality. Despite her many apologies given through gritted teeth, their words went  in one ear and out the other, forcing people to either love her rambunctious ways or look in the other direction. In current times she’s praised for her energy that keeps variety shows interesting and her honesty, even if it’s rather blunt at times.

WELCOMING: KIM “ZILVER” JIEUN

CAREER INFORMATION:

━✧ SIGNED: May 7th, 2012  ━✧ DEBUT: July 16th, 2016  ━✧ GROUP: EDEN  ━✧ POSITION: Main Dancer, Lead Rapper ━✧ VOICE CLAIMS: Olivia Hye, Irene, SinB

BIOGRAPHY:

Jieun's life, at first glance at least, seemed to be the picture-perfect definition of family. Her family was the epitome of cliche –– it seemed to be a real life version of the typical family you see in movies and get told about as kids. And yes, she truly had a fortunate life, with parents that earned well and loved her... Until they stopped caring about her, stopped acknowledging her existence. 

When Jieun was four years old, her mother got pregnant again with a baby boy. Back then she hadn't known what that meant, she was only a toddler, after all. But as she grew older, she learnt that the world was cruel, that people could be insanely biased. That people saw a specific gender as superior. And the more she learned, the quieter she got. It was just too much for such a young girl –– yet she felt bad for her brother, she felt awful about the fact that she just couldn't get herself to properly get to know him because it just felt so... weird. 

Overall refusing to talk much, even at school, her parents sent her to dance therapy, thinking that actual therapy would be too harsh for such a tender, young soul. And it worked: It didn't make her speak more at home, but she started speaking up during school, started making friends on her own. She loved dancing so much, she asked her parents to sign her up for additional dance classes. So instead of spending dreadful hours at home with her family, she went out to dance. 

But even though she loved dancing so much, she never thought about making it her career. It wasn't in her mind, until her best friend in middle school suggested auditioning for a company to become an idol. Of course she thought it was a joke, but decided to do it just for fun. It wouldn't hurt, right? Turns out she was accepted. Mom and Dad didn't care much, they had the resources and didn't feel like seeing their daughter anyway, so it was fine for them to just send her away. 

Training without someone to rely on was hard, even more because she wasn't the most social or talkative but she made it into Eden's final debut lineup after a little more than four years of training, securing the position as the group's main dancer. 

At first, people didn't like her –– they thought the lack of speaking from her was her being stuck up, but the more time she spent in the spotlight with cameras ready to film every move of hers, true fans began to realize that Jieun was actually a sweet girl who just didn't like to open up. She's by far not the most popular member and she knows, but she couldn't care less. What mattes for her is that she has the chance to do something she loves and that she's finally found her people.

BIOGRAPHY:

Raised by a single mother, Joohyuk made it his mission to become successful no matter what obstacles came his way. Seeing the many struggles his mother endured to provide for his older sister and him, it lit a fire within to excel in anything he tried. He wanted so badly to ease the burden she was carrying and provide for his family. With the absence of his father, his mother often worried that Joohyuk would go down a path of destruction and trouble. She insisted on keeping him busy by signing him up for various clubs and activities any chance she got. The two that stuck were basketball and music. They both came naturally to him, and with practice, he exceeded his coaches' and teacher's expectations. By his senior year of high school, Joohyuk was a star shooting guard with hopes of making it to the league one day. When he wasn't practicing, he uploaded songs on Soundcloud, busking around town, and performing at local cafes to earn extra money. Upon graduation, he received a full-ride basketball scholarship to a state university. But before heading off to school, that summer, he headed to Seoul to help out at his uncle's new restaurant. He'd only been there a few weeks before he was approached on the street while performing by an agent urging him to come audition. Joohyuk didn't think anything of the opportunity as he was dead set on attending school in the fall, yet he still accepted the invitation. He initially thought of it as an opportunity to get some feedback on his talent. To his surprise, they wanted to sign him right away after his performance of Lim Jaebeom's, For You. After giving it some thought, he realized that the only reason he was going to attend college was to better his chances of going pro, but his chances of making it were slim. After discussing his options with his family, he accepted the offer and joined Termina Entertainment. After training a little under two years, Joohyuk makes his debut as Hyuk, the main vocal and visual of Katas.

BIOGRAPHY:

Jung Saehyun was the little girl in her family who loved singing for an unknown reason. She had been interested in singing since she was 4 years old. Saehyun was born on April 20, 1999 in Iksan, South Korea to her parents Jung Hyunseung and Park Areum. Out of their kids, she is the middle child with the oldest being her sister Jung Saerom and and her younger sister Jung Saejin. Unlike her two sisters who are more into sports, she is more into music than sports. When Saehyun was just 8 years old when she officially tried out for musical theater, she was then cast as Veruca Salt in a musical adaption of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and as Little Red Riding Hood in Into The Woods. Because she had such a magnificent skill in singing, some of her friends had convinced her to audition for entertainment companies as an idol so that she could showcase her talent. She had then became scouted at 10 years old by a company that wasn’t known to the public very well but she wasn’t to sure to audition because her parents thought it wasn’t a good idea to become an idol at that age. At the age of 12, when she posted several covers on the internet with the account ran by her and her parents, she was scouted by Termina Entertainment. Her parents then received an email from Termina Entertainment saying that they thought that Saehyun would be an amazing fit to their company. She then was asked to come by for a proper audition at the label so they could see what she was like to work with. She had auditioned with the song "I Know Things Now" from the musical Into The Woods. 

Shortly after auditioning, 3 weeks later she gotten a call from them saying that they accepted her audition and wanted her to become a trainee. Saehyun had immediately accepted the offer with the encouragement of her parents and sisters. Saehyun had trained for 5 years properly before being asked to participate in their special trainee program known as Termin8 that was to debut a new girl group going the name of Eden. She was one of the few trainees who gotten a had gotten a lot of attention of vocals and cute appearance from the covers she had posted. Saehyun was then announced as the main vocalist of the group Eden and revealed that she was going by the stage name Saeha instead of going by her birth name.

WELCOMING: MAEVE “MAE” YI

CAREER INFORMATION:

━✧ SIGNED: September 10, 2010  ━✧ DEBUT: February 21, 2015  ━✧ GROUP: Viper  ━✧ POSITION: Lead Dancer & Lead Vocalist  ━✧ VOICE CLAIMS: Songhee, Lee Hi, Yuqi, Jisoo, Seungyeon, Wheein

BIOGRAPHY:

Though born in Ulsan, South Korea, Maeve was brought up in Pasadena, California by her adoptive family and lived a relatively normal life. When she was in high school, she didn’t have much of a career path planned out, but she had started a modeling gig for a youth fashion website and posted as an ‘ulzzang’ on Instagram in its early stages of becoming a social media website to bring in a bit of cash flow. Her images caught the attention of a representative for Termina Entertainment, who later reached out to her and offered her a place within the company. Since she hadn’t really considered being in the spotlight until they had reached out to her, she gave it some thought and figured that she should at least go to the audition, it wouldn’t bother her either way if she didn’t get into the company -- besides, this gave her the opportunity to travel to her home country and get to know it in person. However, once she was there, she truly enjoyed the experience. She was surprised that despite needing a fair amount of training, they decided on recruiting her into the company to see where she would go. She’s made a few cameo appearances in music videos as an extra and as a dancer, but nothing to ever make her purposely stand out. She always gave it her all during training, eventually landing her within the lineup for Termina’s newest 10-member group. Unfortunately, with some trainees leaving, their debut was postponed until 2014… and again backfiring until their eventual proper debut in 2015. Maeve became VIPER’s Copperhead snake, their Lead Vocal and Lead Dance, a title she earned from working hard towards the career that practically dropped into her lap, showcasing her gratitude towards the company for taking a chance on her. Since then, Maeve hasn’t done anything solo as of yet, though she’s MC’d, and has participated in a few projects ( ! I’m leaving this vague so that I can leave it open for plotting later ! ) that have come her way. Aside from her career, and not known to the public, Maeve has recently been turned into a vampire, she still has a hard time curbing her urges, and can often be seen sucking on some type of candy as a way for her to keep her mind distracted - because her love for sweets and anything else that she’s interested in -  has been intensified 10 fold.

WELCOMING: CHO “ROWEN” YUJIN

━✧ SIGNED: April 20, 2020

 ━✧ POSITION: Company Choreographer

JOB DESCRIPTION

Rowen works with the idols in Termina whether it be teaching trainees dance or developing and collaborating in the development of choreography for groups and solo acts alike. She is flexible when it comes to style and music so she can work with male and female groups who produce different genres of music. She updates higher ups on the idol’s progress and informs the managers about the condition of the idols when they leave her care. As a backup dancer herself she might even be seen in the background of a live performance once in a blue moon. Can assist during photoshoots or music videos where dancing or dynamic posing is involved.

BIOGRAPHY

Yujin was born into a lot of trials she would have to overcome. She learned to survive by any means necessary, learned anything could be used as a weapon if the situation was dire enough. Little Yujin picked up on how sticky her fingers could be when her little stomach hurt too much for sleep to distract her. She learned that even though a person was family, shared blood, they didn’t have to love her. Even they could hurt and neglect her. And they did for years until she could escape through school. School, which took her states away and into her first taste of freedom. Freedom that turned sour as her first love turned abusive. Injuring her, scaring her. Until one day it was too much as she beat him unconscious and bloody before fleeing. Fleeing everything that hurt - everything tainted by her parents, by him. Her life started over in Korea where she finished university and worked in a dance studio near her choppy little apartment. Rowen wouldn’t have had it any other way. Graduating was tough but a massive personal victory for the girl who started school at the age of 13.

 Without school to focus on she was able to throw herself into dancing full time. In 2015, Rowan was hired at Crown Entertainment as a choreographer. There she learned how to work long hours with tired youths who developed into talented adults. She discovered the rush of dancing on a stage as a backup dancer and how proud she could feel seeing the people she worked with reach higher and higher. Although personal relationships are difficult for her and opening up to someone is next to impossible, that didn’t stop her from feeling proud of the achievements of the people she’s worked with. The company didn’t stay open for too long and in 2017, she went back to teaching on a smaller scale full time. Maintaining a youtube channel on the side as well as the occasional modeling gig. 

 She currently owns a studio where she holds dancing classes but Rowen does miss the thrill of the entertainment world. Even if she wasn’t a great big corner of it, her time there garnered a solid enough reputation that allowed her a steady stream of dedicated students. She is a bit known as a firm teacher who demands that extra 10 percent but also as an odd motherly goofball that makes sure you get proper breaks and treats you to something tasty if you stay late. Don’t bother slacking off either - her eagle eye misses nothing.
