Appearance Description: Ji-Hye is Korean-American and as such her appearance reflects this. While her dominant features present Asian, narrow eyes, the brown/olive skin tone, petite body, and dark hair, she’s peppered with American features inherited from her father’s genes such as a straight, narrow nose slightly unexpected height, and shapely curves.
Ji-Hye stands at five feet and six inches tall, which is quite tall compared to her mother’s family. Her eyes are milky brown and her lashes are surprisingly long. Her face is heart-shaped and soft but with high, American cheekbones. If Ji-Hye would leave her hair natural, the color would be dark with reddish undertones colored by the sun. Instead, she mercilessly colors her hair, flitting from blush pink and oranges to deep violet and blue to an array of colors in a matter of weeks.
Ji-Hye tends to be caught in her scrubs more often then her day clothes, which are often as vibrant as her hair and her personality. She favors cutesy prints on her tops: unicorns and rainbows and cats and lollipops, over solid color pants with squeaky clean bleached white tennis shoes. Her day clothes are more put together but often just as vibrant as her Scrubs, usually including a pair of fitted jeans paired with some converse or flip flops and a logo riddled tee shirt or a nice blouse to dress up. Typically she looks like a Unicorn threw up on her. But prettier.
Personality Description: Bubbly. It’s the only word that easily sums Ji-Hye up. She’s a free spirited, spunky sort of girl who doesn’t waste her time trying to be terribly serious. Life is too short to take it too seriously. She’s bright and kind hearted, giving in every sense of the word. As such, Ji-Hye tends to be far too trusting, borderline naïve. People find it easy to use her up and she will get her feelings hurt easily. She’s a crier. Step on a bug and she might cry.
However, in her work, she’s another person. Straight forward and determined, she keeps her head down and works hard. She treats her patients with kindness and respect. Ji-Hye prefers to work with children, which is why the bulk of her residency is centered around the school. She can be no nonsense all business if she really puts her mind to it...but who wants that?
Powers: Empathic healing – Through touch, Ji-Hye can heal ones emotional pains and sadness by taking it into herself. The power only works with physical touch and the affects only last for up to several hours after she is no longer touching a person but the healing is not permanent. She takes the emotion of a person into herself and is taken by those emotions for the amount of time it stays away from the person she took it from. In a sense, it’s as if she borrows someone’s sadness for a few hours and while she has it, they do not. This also works with all emotions: anger, happiness, bitterness, etc. Ji-Hye rarely applies this power because she feels like taking ones negative feelings for a few hours only to have them go back is cruel. She also views taking someone’s positive feelings as stealing pleasantness from someone else.
Species Abilities: Empath – Ji-Hye has a paranormal ability to sense and apprehend the mental and emotional state of another. This ability is exaggerated by touch. Fortunately she only senses their emotional or mental state and does not actually experience it for herself.
Biography: Ji-Hye was born in Pyeongtaek, South Korea to a traditional Korean momma and a very American daddy, a soldier stationed at the nearby Camp. Ji-Hye moved from Korea at a very young age and only returned for visits with her grandparents on occasion. She was a brilliant child with passion and drive and so much energy it seemed like by simply walking into a room she brightened it, but she was also riddled with emotions that no child should know: greed, passion, anger, grief. They had suspicion that the child would be, or might already be, bi-polar.
She was an only child and so a lot of focus was placed on her. When Ji-Hye was twelve, she realized that she could sense other’s emotions. Truthfully, she always had the ability but it was at that age that she finally recognized it as apart from everyone else. She told her father, more accepting then her mother, but he couldn’t comprehend what she was really telling him. For another year, she was honest with her father before her father, coming to believe her, mentioned it to her mother. Ji-Hye’s mother called her parents immediately and found that Ji-Hye’s great grandmother had been empathic and a practiced Muism, a Korean traditional form of shamanism – healing. It turned out that her family had a history of being gifted. Though the gene had skipped over her grandmother and her mother, Ji-Hye was gifted. It was her grandmother who suggested that the couple send their daughter to her great grandmother’s amamatar: Monta Carlos, to attend Starlight Academy.
Resistant at first, Ji-Hye’s father kept her in public school, and then as she grew increasingly moody, at home, until it became apparent that these emotions taking over their vibrant little girl weren’t her own. She was empathic whether they recognized it or not. She was sensing the people around her. At last, her father gave in and they sent her off to Starlight.
Socially, Ji-Hye thrived. Emotionally, it took longer to adjust. It took several months of schooling for her to gain some control over a power she thought she might never have control of. As she began learning control, her own bright personality finally reemerged. By sixteen she was exactly who she was going to be for the rest of her life: eccentric, kind, and a little bit wild. She defined herself by coloring her hair, piercing herself, and wearing fun clothes. She gave herself a name: Pony, earned by being called a unicorn – special and different and healing to the soul.
Ji-Hye spent her last year at Starlight honing her abilities into a power, the ability to heal emotional states by touch, but since the power didn’t come naturally to her she was very limited. When she returned home, she decided to attend college, further her education in the ‘real world’.
Her mother wanted her to be a doctor, she wanted to be a photographer, and while her father supported her talent and hobby, the traditional side of her family pushed her to medical school. Ji-Hye began to attend school in the medical field. She began a residency in Raleigh, NC, but found it less fulfilling then she had believed. Seeking to help people like herself, people who were different, Ji-Hye returned to Monta Carlos and began a residency under Dr. Hart. Ji-Hye is furthering her studies on the side, determined to specialize in Pediatric care, having already mastered Trama Nursing.
Working with children, especially the children on Monta Carlos, helps her find fulfillment but she still dabbles in photography. Her young patients adore her because she has a bubbly personality with a knack for putting them at ease, often painting her face or theirs, she dyes her hair rainbow colors and wears bright scrubs. She tells them to call her pony because "i used to want to be a Unicorn when I grew up!" While she also enjoys working with the older students and at the hospital she finds passion in making the sick or hurt kids feel better. She does not enjoy her work at the Correctional facility because the emotions that flood the building make her skin crawl but her time spent there was part of her residency with the Doctor.
