The stillness of the night brought peace to her stormy mind. The shape of the full moon reflected on the vast space, creating a mirrored illusion of the twinkling evening sky. The gentle glow caressed her cheek and she unconsciously pulled the corners of her lips into a quiet smile. The picture of the quiet sea before her left her pining for something she was uncertain of. “What do you want me to do?” She feebly asked the deity who never showed herself nor gave any response except for their celestial effigy to endlessly shine on her.

Her feet dangled carelessly from the docks, a safe distance from letting her fair robes get soaked by saltwater. She received an earful from one of her attendants the last time she had her clothes drenched. A creak disturbed her hushed train of thought. Another presence has arrived to the place she thought would be deserted around this time of night. Seol perceived she was an intruder to the stranger’s nocturnal schedule. She felt the need to speak up, especially when their eyes have already met.

“G-- good evening,” she mumbled a greeting, uncertain if the other heard her or not.

hello! i'm lala, the sleepless mun behind this icy baby. i'm on gmt+8 but i got a ruined body clock anyways so there are instances where i just appear out of the blue. heh. i prepared some links to better introduce seol-- basic info & bio. her plots page is still under construction and will be up as soon as everything is settled. under the cut, i have also outlined a few bits to further expound seol's nature. (i'll have these placed on a page somewhere as headcanons soon and will update it regularly oof)

seol was a human before dalnim, the moon goddess, turned her into an ice spirit. in order to save her sibling from getting drowned in a frozen lake, she sacrificed herself and this act moved the deity. dalnim then fished out her body, took seol under her wing, and gave her a name. upon shifting into a spirit, seol was left with no memories and her life restarted right where she perished, above the frozen lake. her standing on ice under the night sky was her first memory. she will never be able to remember her past life and nobody else can attain this knowledge unless someone is powerful enough to see it.

while her power is ice manipulation, seol is not the personification of winter. she is also not the only ice spirit out there. her abilities are at its peak when it is the winter season in the human world while the rest are kept into a minimum. moreover, she has mastered her power since she have lived for more than a thousand years, giving her a lot of time to practice and improve her skills.

before she decided to permanently reside on the island, seol moved from one place to another, opting caves for her to live in. she only heads out during the winter season and journey to the human world, believing it is her duty to bring snow and frost to small towns and counties. seol still practices this even after moving to the island, the only difference was that she now has a place she can return to and call it home.

one could say that seol is an ancient spirit because of the long time she have been staying in the spirit realm. she has acquired numerous hobbies to pass the time and still left her dissatisfied. she is plagued with ennui and craves for new things in her life.

since she have lived for a long time, seol managed to gather rare artifacts and scrolls, both from the spirit and human realm, in which collectors would turn green with envy. this is the sole reason as to why she managed to secure a property around the wealthy estates of the island by selling a few of them.

aside from holding auctions for the artifacts, seol sells handcrafted headpieces and accessories. this was one of her hobbies until one of her attendants saw its market potential and encouraged her to supply them to the merchants. she also entertains clients with specific and unique requests for their accessories.

her first experience of the island was being led straight to lady jidora's hotel. seol returned there a few more times before venturing out to tour around the island more. she eventually decided to permanently reside on the island because of its liveliness.

she has an air of mystery around her since she doesn't easily approach anyone unless needed. seol is bad at social affairs and prior on living on the island, she would only manage to catch up with her acquaintances once in a few years. back then, one would be lucky to encounter her more than twice.

seol can be mostly seen wearing pure white robes adorned with intricate silver embroidery. she also never fails to wear traditional hair accessories with crescent moon designs, denoting loyalty to her creator, dalnim.
