━━ ( jung jinsoul + cis female + twenty-one ) oi , have you seen philippa ‘pip’ bae around ? she lives in flat 17 in bedroom 4 ? i was meant to meet them this morning at bean me up before our lecture but she didn’t show . no ? well , shit . if you do see them , can you tell them i’m looking for them ? they’re a 3rd year architecture student from nafplio , greece & you’ll know it’s them because they might just remind you of gold framed glasses left in the library , playing the sims on your laptop during lectures , a wall full of half-finished pencil sketches , lemon water , climbing onto rooftops & the dream of building something better if that helps at all.just be careful , she can be a little machiavellan , hubristic & arriviste sometimes . —- oh don’t look like that , they’re usually erudite , habile & tactical most of the time .

full name : philippa bae / bae soo ah nickname(s) : pip , suah , pippa age : twenty - one gender / pronouns : cis gendered female / she / her / hers sexuality : bisexual / biromantic hometown : nafplio , greece major : architecture inspo : annabeth chase , regina george , macey mchenry faceclaim : jung jinsoul

fun facts : doesn’t talk about her dad but will mention every chance she gets that he’s ex mi6 , can speak almost six languages but doesn’t speak any of them ... u know ? , major abandonment issues & for what , can whistle for hours without stopping , carries around multiple sketchbooks on her person at all times , is mean :( takes out unresolved anger on everyone around her , got kicked out of the library her first year for starting a fight with a librarian , loud opinions ; mean words , is really good at drawing / painting but only Sketches because painting is reserved for ‘ pure inspiration ’ , should be an art major but doesn’t think she needs a degree in drawing

aesthetic : drowning just below the surface of an ice cold river , being unable to hear the birds chirping in the morning due to the irrevocable anger , breaking pencils because you’re pressing down too hard , wind so cold it feels like it’s cutting into skin , a lone glacier wandering the abandoned waters , a forgotten lighthouse in the wreckage of ships it failed to protect & friends are family despite the way you treat them .

mom doesn’t get much of an explanation , why her lover swerves in & out of her life so jarringly . instead , she’s given a child , someone that looks a lot like the suave man who visits every few months from business & tells her that she loves her . he’s the first one to call philippa ‘ pip ’ & it only sticks because she lets it , even if she hates the name almost as much as she hates him .

pip loves her dad , maybe a bit more than the upset mom who always watches over her & ruins her fun . dad , he teaches her different languages & how to find a killer on the big , intricate maps he brings homes . he’s the one to gift her a sketchbook & a box of special pencils , the one to encourage her to build a world made of lead & her imagination .

he doesn’t stay for too long ever , but he always returns & she always waits for him dutifully . mom knows now , but she won’t tell pip anything . all she does is make sure pip knows how to fight dirty & how to make sure her underhand stings . ‘ women fight differently , soo ah , ’ she tells pip . ‘ your dad – you’re different from him . you have to learn things differently . ’

there’s only so much mom can put up with . pip wakes up one day to find a note from her mom ( written in korean , the one language she struggles with learning despite her ancestry ) that reads that she’s gone . she’s done & that her dad brings too much into her life that she can’t deal with . he’s not the man she thought she loved ; & apparently , neither was pip . she wasn’t enough for her mom .

pip learns quickly she’s not enough for her dad , either . thirteen years old , multi-lingual & left in the world on her own . dad sends money & he sends letters , mostly though , he sends empty promises . ‘ i promise you’ll understand one day . i promise i’ll explain . i promise i love you . ’ but he doesn’t show up & he doesn’t come to collect . he sends her a passport & tells her to live the way she wants .

online , she finds a good enough school that’ll get her where she wants to go in the future . she completes courses while running from a past she doesn’t know anything about . strangers ask her where her parents are , she learns how to lie . men ask her how old she is , she learns how to con them into working for her . women ask her why she isn’t love , she learns how to wage wars & win .

seventeen , pip has spent time all around europe on her own . her dad still sends money , but he doesn’t send letters anymore . she stopped replying a while ago , but he still signs the bank statements with a heart . on her ‘ graduation ’ day , she gets a gift in the mail – a sketchbook , a box of special pencils & a letter – explaining everything .

dad’s a spy , he’s dangerous & lethal & he has enemies that don’t know of her existence . mom was paranoid & abandoned , left to her own devices so she left . he tells her everything except why he never came to get her , why his life was more important than hers & why he didn’t love her enough . she burns the letter , along with her sketch of him .

she forgets what he looks like , she forgets what mom looks like & she rids her mind of them . eighteen & in paris , accepting her dad’s gracious checks ( which , shouldn’t be made on a spy’s salary , but she won’t complain ) when she decides it’s time to go back . one year wasted , she’s spent in paris drinking wine & bedding lovers .

small town , obscure location & a good reputation . larnswick university welcomes her in with open arms & there’s her fresh start , even if her past will never get away from her .

exterior . she’s ruthless , a wolf loved by a silent god of war that watches her fight battles . raised by a silent war , she knows that in order to get things done , she has to make the first move . outgoing , courageous & always prepared , pip’s nothing short of a monstrous war general , comparable to hurricanes that rip land apart because it’s in the way . blunt , sharp & cutting , she’s no stranger to fighting dirty & hurting with words . any words can be used to describe her , except maybe civil , or kind , or gentle .

interior . lonely & a little bit scared of an earth that never wanted her . when is it going to open up , take her away because she doesn’t really belong ? always the one to end things so she doesn’t get hurt , she’s never vulnerable because that’ll end badly . non committal , it’s surprising she’s stayed in this place for too long – she’s spent five years of her teenagehood running from place to place . selfish & cunning , pip comes first , because that’s what she’s learned to do to survive .

midway . talented , tactical & intelligent . there’s a lot of talent in her fingers , the ability to mimic life with a few pencil strokes . she possesses a need to build something permanent , something better than the life she’s lived & she doesn’t know why , she doesn’t know if it’ll bring her joy – perhaps just buying a cottage by the sea will fulfill her life . pip is talented , gifted by apollo & cursed by ares .
