Xochitl

She has a great love for all types of flavors, from the sweetness of a delicious strawberry horchata to the spiciness of chiles and mole, seeking beyond the culinary horizons. Although she is very confident, her self-assuredness can sometimes tip her into being bumptious, leading her to overlook important details and underestimate the risks that follow.

Mijin
Mijin was once a bubbly, vibrant girl who always saw life through rainbow-colored lenses, but her innocent world quickly turned monochrome as she endured relentless bullying from her peers at school. From their hurtful words and mocking laughter, specifically for her "childlike" nature and interests, Mijin became isolated and hid behind routine to avoid it and cope. However, during this difficult period of her life, she found a passion for Korean arts, culture, and heritage through her love of playing the Janggu and Gayageum and performing with her father, which allowed her to reclaim her sense of identity. Turning her pains into spirits, she learns to paint her world anew and hopes to find the right friends who will help bring the lost colors back into her life.
