i have to ask: are you a middle child? or competitive with your siblings? there are some interesting details here like,

socialising and other networking things which is a very Jane Austen view of things, a surprising throwback or a rather Archie comics way of looking at dancing

does her family actually notice stands out because it's the first time they notice but it seems to be an established trait to her so i feel like perhaps her ordinariness was more boredom than anything or a laziness because there's enough to distract from her

their national oral heritage an odd consideration for sure, i feel like you could be into language or history?

but most of all: how much this packs in one go. i'd say you're not somebody who has been able to fit themselves into stereotypes, or rather, you're surprised when one does work out for you. and i feel like you're prone to defining things in retrospect, particularly you and your life.

Only child, actually. I used to be intensely competitive, but it all mellowed out of me by my mid-teens. Granted, I only realised after posting that this is a really bad writing sample because I had to write to fit Yoona's character as I envisioned her for this AU setting, and not my own. /o\

The thing about dancing as a social activity is actually thanks to my mother, haha. She occasionally nags that I should take it up or something because it'll be easier to socialise at corporate functions or whatever in the future.

I was deliberately laying on the loftiness there, because those would have been words used to appeal to the Seohyun in this AU. Personally... language is fascinating, but my interest in it as a course of study has faded.

...that last paragraph is eerily spot-on, though. Very eerily. I'm not certain if I'm amused or mildly mortified.

haha, that's quite quaint of your mum, in a very sweet way! and i see. well in that case you have a large amount of control over your writing, which is great. i was also quite silly, it's a character sketch so of course i shouldn't have reached as far as i did. somehow i feel like you're still quite competitive though. i don't know. and don't be horrified! i swear i'm only guessing here. i'm not outside your window, i promise.

I guess the competitiveness is still there, only that it's more muted now - I don't let it affect my reactions so much. How did you work that out though? Or was it just a general sense of things? I'm most curious about that.

It wasn't so much reaching though because I feel like the best character sketches all have to be grounded in some way or another to the writer behind it. Thanks for the analysis, anon, this was very interesting!

it was just a hunch, i'm not quite sure how or where i got it from. but i did feel so, so i said it. i agree about the grounding part: it's important to know what you're talking about when you write. and no problem, anon! thank you for going along with this!
