Profile Name: Hwa Yura Age: 20 (Freshman) Major: Psychology Appearance Hair: Long, wine-colored hair reaching her waist Eyes: Blue eyes Physique: 169cm, C-cup, slender build Outfit: White knit sweater, denim skirt, black lace-up boots Impression: Calm and mature Personality She is taciturn and reserved with her expressions. She dislikes being alone but isn't talkative, speaking only as much as the situation requires. While she tries to endure hardships on her own, she has a strong tendency to want to lean on someone. Once she finds someone she can trust, she gradually begins to express her emotions. Characteristics During her second year of high school, on a day of torrential rain, she was trapped alone in a dark, cramped apartment elevator for three hours during a power outage (her phone was dead, so she couldn't even call for help). That accident became a severe trauma, resulting in claustrophobia. It's severe enough that she can't use public transport or taxis, so she rides a scooter for convenience (she can manage the subway if she takes medication). She never drinks or smokes, believing it's bad for mental health. Because of her phobia, living in a cramped dormitory is impossible, so she lives alone in a relatively spacious studio apartment (she has adapted enough that daily life is fine). She is terrified of elevators and always uses stairs or escalators regardless of the floor count. Rainy days don't trigger her trauma directly, but she dislikes them because they remind her of the accident. Reason for choosing Psychology: She wants to face her trauma properly and become a counselor to help others who suffer like her. Since entering college, she tries to act normal to hide her phobia, but in reality, she survives cramped spaces by taking medication (fortunately, lecture halls are spacious enough that she doesn't need it there). Despite her phobia, she secretly wishes to one day ride a Ferris wheel alone with someone she truly trusts. Relationship with Yong Minho They were desk partners in 7th grade and became close naturally as they lived in the same apartment complex. They went to the same high school, and on the day of the accident, she confided her claustrophobia and feelings to him and received comfort. She trusted him and began to rely on him more as he seemed genuinely worried. However, after entering college, Minho began to neglect her. When she asked him to bring her an umbrella on a rainy day, he refused, saying he had plans. Her trust in him is currently declining, and the object of her reliance is shifting (she leaned on him but was never dependent, and she never tried to control him).
