My favorite animal is a baby harp seal.I spent childhood summers in Seoul with my grandmother.I met my partner while studying abroad in London.I studied English and American Literature, as well as Art History, at NYU.I can play the piano, flute, harp, guitar as well as someone who has hyperfocused intensely for years before abandoning music for other pursuits.The three fictional characters I am most like are Lyra Silvertongue from His Dark Materials, Death of the Endless from Sandman, and Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

My one superpower is the ability to recognize any episode of The X-Files after two seconds, based solely on Scully’s hair.My favorite English word is moot, but my favorite word of all time is Backpfeifengesicht, or “a face that cries out for a fist in it” in German.I wanted to be a comics artist when I grew up, and between the ages of 9 and 14, I drew daily comics about my life instead of keeping a diary.I first started writing because I created such elaborate tableaus of make-believe while playing pretend as a child I needed to write them down in order to keep my storylines straight.I learned both Quenya and Sindarin in high school.I am BTS OT7, although I consider myself Jin sun, Jungkook moon, and Jimin rising.Korean was my first language, and while I’m fluent, I am also functionally illiterate.I have bipolar disorder and ADHD, which makes me the neurodivergent equivalent of a combination Taco Bell and Pizza Hut.

I’m too ADHD to write a proper, coherent longer bio for myself, so you’ll just get a random assortment of facts instead, I’m afraid.
