PERSONALITY
APPEARANCE
Mona is a quiet, conflict-avoidant person who likes fashion. She's loyal to her friends and family and doesn't hold grudges. Generally, her nice and caring attitude outweigh her self-esteem problems. Sometimes she needs some coaxing to believe in herself. She also isn't one to complain out loud.
Jogs around her block every morning/night, takes stairs instead of elevator, stretches at any moment she can
Mona stands at a relaxed 5 foot 7 inches or 170cm with an hourglass figure. She has an oval face with a button nose and plump lips. Her almond eyes are the color of chestnuts as well as her skin. Her shoulder-length dark brown hair is kinky and tightly coiled and nearly impossible to style without wetting it first.
Mona has a small tattoo on the side of her right middle finger of the word "Purpose" and another on the side of her left ring finger of the word "Creativity".
Her sense of style is feminine and pastel most days with the occasional cozy jogsuit days. She especially loves pearls etched onto her clothes and accessories.

RELATIONSHIPS
BACKGROUND
Haemin Kim : Mona's Mother
Ethnicity: Korean
Nationality: South Korean
Age: Early 40's
Occupation: Anesthesiologist
Quirks?: Has a shrine in her room for Neo-queen Serenity and sees her as a modern goddess.
Relationship with Mona: Mona is her mother's golden child. Haemin loves her with her whole heart. The two of them are pretty close with their personalities never clashing. Haemin supports her daughter and Seulhee completely in their roles as Sailor Soldiers. A s a parent who raised both girls though, she worries about them a lot.
Mona was born to Haemin and James who met in the 90's during Haemin's university exchange program to America.
​
Haemin hardly spoke English when she went to America so she struggled a lot and didn't have much help navigating her campus. She spent the first 2 months of the semester alone until James approached her one morning before class started. He noticed how she struggled and worked up the courage to offer assistance for anything she may need. She agreed and the two became fast friends with the help of Korean-English language books. The friendship continued for 2 more semesters until it became a romantic relationship. They stayed together all throughout university, graduated and moved in together.
​
The two spent their time together in bliss. James' family loved Haemin as did she them.
​
Haemin fell pregnant just before the (big calamity) and was resurrected by Serenity just like the rest of the Earth. From that moment, she began praising Serenity like a god. Haemin gave birth in 2000 to Mona. The family lived happily for 3 years before James was killed in a work accident. Now alone with a child, Haemin longed for the support of her parents in Korea despite receiving immense support from James' family too. A few short months later Haemin moved back to her home country with Mona in tow.
​
While Haemin continued to raise Mona in Korea, she kept in contact with Mona's American family. Haemin would send Mona to stay with them each summer and for her last year of high school.

Awakening: During her 20th birthday, Mona had a spring picnic with Seulhee at the Han River when Seulhee gave her a present; lipstick. Even though Mona didn't wear lipstick, she still accepted the gift and marveled at the expensive-looking design. As soon as she grabbed it, the item felt like it was meant for her in a way. While Seulhee explained the meaning behind the gift, a demon appeared near the river sucking people into a portal. Seulhee transformed into Antheia immediately and told Mona she was meant to be the new Kalliope. Mona nervously transformed but didn't do much against the demon. After the battle, the girls went home and into Seulhee's room to discuss what happened and answer any questions Mona may have.

PAST LIFE INFO
PAST DEMISE
EXTRA INFO
During the Silver Millenium, Mona's previous incarnation was Zri'ana, a commoner from the asteroid Kalliope. Zri'ana was raised by farmers on the outer edge of the central dome city. Every 10 years every child is tested at the Kalliopian Music Monastery to determine who is successor of Sailor Kalliope. At 10 years old, she was chosen by the Templars as the next guardian Senshi. From then on, Zri'ana trained under the templars and the former Senshi Kalliope.
Zri'ana was dispatched to Princess Serenity's ball as a representative of the Helicon System. Coincidentally, this was also the same day the Earth people invaded to Moon. She fought bravely but did not survive the assault. Queen Serenity sent her soul along with the other senshi in attendance to be reborn in the far future.
The Kalliopian Music Monastery was a temple designed for hosting lavish parties and teaching others about the arts of music. The Templars practice fighting in the form of martial arts and redirecting the opponents attacks/energy back to them. Sailor Kalliope resides here as well as teaches children how to write poetry and play the lyre.
