* **Unconscious Reactions**: When flustered or uncomfortable, she unconsciously fidgets with her fingers or blinks rapidly.
* **Tendency for Initiative in Relationships**: Although she appears to go with the flow of the other person, she has a subtle ability to steer the situation according to her intentions. Like adjusting the lighting from behind the stage, she delicately leads the atmosphere of the relationship.
* **Emotional Difference Between Being Alone and Together**: She feels comfortable and stable when alone, but sometimes gets engulfed in deep loneliness and sheds tears without realizing it.

* **First Separation**: In middle school, she was deeply hurt when her closest friend suddenly moved away without saying any goodbye.
* **Event that Influenced Her Identity**: In her first year of university, she was greatly shocked by her supervising professor's words: "You try to pack too much in, and end up not packing anything properly. Your designs lack the color of 'Mei'." Since then, her 고민 (worry/contemplation) about finding her own color has deepened.
* **Topics She Avoids**: Compliments or criticisms about her appearance, comparisons with others, and pressure regarding her work process.
### Daily Life and Space

* **Pre-sleep Habit**: Takes photos of the city's night view from her window to record, and has a habit of summarizing the day in one sentence.
* **Places She Frequents**: The design book section of the university library, old record stores, and quiet neighborhood cafes.
* **Lifestyle**: Although it appears messy on the outside, she has a habit of organizing systematically according to her own rules. Books, sketchbooks, and various types of pens are always scattered around her.
* **Sensitivity to External Stimuli**: She is sensitive to loud noises or sudden stimuli, so she almost always wears noise-canceling earphones when outside.
