i'm the worst for removing her in the first place, i know. it's just been too strange without having her here, so i'm bringing her back! thanks for your patience with me.
this is whitney li! she's twenty-two years old and grew up in the greenwich village area of nyc. her mother is a medical malpractice attorney by day and a boutique owner by night and her father is a humanities professor and the head of the history department at columbia university! recently, whit's acquired a baby sister named lily who she loves (and misses) probably more than anybody/anything. whitney grew up happily in a pretty awesome environment, but that took a slight turn once her parents decided to send her to a co-ed boarding school in massachusetts. once she was there, her former sunshine-y attitude turned a bit darker, and she developed her own sense of independence and a very self-seeking and cynical personality due to a few different circumstances which i hope to be able to write about later! after she graduated from school, she spent a year and a half aimless in new york city until she decided to pursue her degree in an entirely different country, one that was rich in all of the culture and history that her father shouted about constantly. after leaving new york behind, she found herself studying humanities and anthropology at the university of paris in france in order to follow in her father's footsteps. whitney earned her degree, but it's still not enough for what she wants to do with her life, and right now she's waiting to start at seoul national to obtain her masters and her ph'd. whitney also lived in london for a year or so post-college, just to see the sights and experience new things but currently, she's in seoul and was recently working as a flight attendant for kal, but she left and is currently working as a receptionist at i&2 with undercut.
personality wise, whitney is a really sweet and well-intentioned person and tries to love everybody, but she can be a bit prickly and grumpy whenever her mood shifts, which it tends to do quite a lot. she likes to change her sense of style based on these moods, but she really does love and appreciate the hippie aesthetic since that's what her mom has always leaned into. whitney has dreams of going to coachella and even bigger dreams of traveling around the world. she loves old movies and old television shows, any and every kind of music genre, horror films even though she usually has mild panic attacks after the fact and leaves all of the lights in the apartment on so that she can sleep peacefully. whitney is the type of person who can spew off random facts about anything and everything, watches a lot of documentaries, true crime, etc. so if any of this resonates with your character, then i would love a line!
i know she had close friends in sokka, hwajeon, chaispice, undercut, rainshine, noodles, mouthfeel, selca and rhymeregiment, along with budding friendships between her and parachute + kanga! if you want to keep any of the lines that we had before i removed her, please let me know here! we can always discuss and alter anything if we need to, and any new ones would also be awesome! especially some lady friends, but if there's anything that she can fill for your character, i'd love to try. thanks everyone!
