[align=center][size=11pt][b]ésme sofia kisup kim - [color=#b0b0b0][size=7pt][i]i hate to break it to you babe, but i'm not drowning.

[align=left][justify][size=7pt]- actually goes by sofia a lot as well, often used interchangeably with ésme
- physical/actual age range is 16 - 28, mental age range is 20 - 30
- born on december 19th, sagittarius
- female at birth, identifies as feminine
- uses mainly feminine pronouns, but doesn't mind gender neutral ones either
- she identifies as both pansexual and panromantic, not really considering gender as a factor when it comes to hooking up with someone or falling in love. the thought of limiting herself for something so trivial doesn't make sense to her, quite truthfully

- she was adopted from the moment she was born, leaving south korea for the united states before she was even a week old. her mother simply couldn't keep her, the woman had her whole life ahead of her and sofia was never a part of that plan, so she was put up for adoption right when she was conceived
- her adoptive parents were, and still are, kind souls. she knew from the start that she was adopted, she didn't have their eyes or their hair or their nose, she was too pale and too small, she knew from the start that she wasn't theirs, and it wasn't something her parents hid either
- ésme was blessed to be adopted by wealthy parents, her father was heavily involved in stocks, sponsored some sports players, and the works, whereas her mother was the ceo of some big shot company. needless to say, she was handed the silver spoon and she had always received whatever she wanted
- not to mention, her parents were always in her life, her dad worked from home, after all, stocks could be managed with a laptop and some coffee and her mother returned early in the afternoons, often leaving her miscellaneous duties to her secretary. she truly had it easy
- until they got into a big car crash when ésme was six that things changed. in the accident, she lost her mother and her older brother, leaving only her and her father to try and salvage what they could with their lives. it was difficult, and while her father lived with the guilt weighing on his shoulders, he wanted even more so to provide ésme, his only daughter, with what she wanted
- due to this, she became a child prodigy, basically, being put into various sports and activities that furthered her education and her range of abilities, and while she was shaping up to be strong, her father slowly faded from her life, becoming invested in his job rather than caring for her like he used to
- but life continued on and ésme became independent, she didn't resent her father, but she tried. they talked and they would reminisce and they would learn to cope with it. they would get through it together, and become each other's closest bonds
- it was in her last year of middle school that her father remarried. although she was nice and all and brought in two daughters for ésme to get along with, she knew that her stepmother was only with her father for the money, even if her father was convinced that that wasn't the case
- nevertheless, ésme tried her best to get along with the woman, learning to just accept it and move on. she watched her father grow fonder of his new daughters everyday while ésme was left behind. she was the black sheep rather than a part of the family
- this caused a rift between her and the rest of her family, something that she couldn't change no matter how many times she tried. it wasn't as if they hated her or treated her badly, they were sweet and kind and all, but they weren't close. ésme couldn't get along with them
- she ended up moving out pretty early, being only seventeen before she had her own apartment and basically cared for herself, with the occasional financial help. she couldn't live in the same house knowing that she no longer fit in

- when first meeting ésme, people tend to notice her exuberant aura, always bumbling with happiness and a shine in her eyes that's hard to fake. she's bright and cheerful and fun, tending to attract others to her like a moth to a flame
- she's extremely happy-go-lucky, never really planning for the worst or assuming or expecting it, she's a bit too optimistic and a little too easygoing to seem normal, but she's never really had to worry about much in her life and sometimes, it might seem like she hasn't seen the full scope of reality yet
- despite losing half of her family at a young age, she always does her best to not let it affect her. she misses them, but she knows that she has family around still, which is more than she could ask for, she stays optimistic and knows not to take life, or anything, for granted
- though, she can come off as ignorant from time to time, not always recognizing big problems or things going on in the world that she really should know about. she had always been sheltered from it, so for her, it's not that she doesn't care, but that she doesn't really know any better
- people often notice her wealth from the get go through the way she carries herself. she has a certain delicate poise to her, a grace to her steps, a purpose to her actions. she's what people think of when they think of a leader
- ésme has an overwhelmingly big heart, putting others before herself, considering them before her, she was raised to care for others, not to look down on them
- she's curious and adventurous, very hyper and impulsive, mainly stemming from all the activities she's done while she was young. ésme's never been one to shy away from danger or hesitate with anything. she does things for the thrill, for the competition, for whatever reason

- she seems to be diagnosed with ADHD, always doing something, always moving. she tends to forget about her medicine and doesn't take it properly, leaving her with the jitters and the constant need to move all day long. but she is diagnosed with it

- her korean/actual name is kim kisup (kee-sop), but while coming to the us, all the paperwork got messed up and so her name is now very long and tedious
- knows how to play every sport and can do it pretty well?? honestly like she picks up quick and from her youth, she can play basically most sports
- was her high school's valedictorian as well as class president like damn she knows what she's doing ok
- sometimes kinda valley girl-ish like she comes off as a lot dumber when she really is tbh
- she can sing and play the cello rlly rlly well, those are her two favorite activities, even if she doesn't do them often anymore
- always dressin to impress boi
- ball of sunshine duh
- uses facebook more than twitter or instagram tbh it's kinda sad
- makes friends so so so easily n is way too trusting of everyone like she's been pick pocketed at least fives times in different countries honestly
- persistent af?? like she will not stop until someone stops her it's so bad
