Character: Hali Kang
Series: I.N.V.U.
Age: 16
Canon: I Envy You. A simple little story based around the idea of wanting what you can't have and getting what you never hoped for. And by simple, we mean that this manhwa has an over-the-top soap opera plot with so many shocking twists and turns that the only real surprise is no one in the series has whiplash yet. I.N.V.U. follows a group of starstruck, lovestruck, and occasionally even mafiastruck teens as they stick it to their schools, society, and sometimes even their own friends to realize their dreams.
Hali is an aloof highschool student who accidentally fell into the world of modeling when her angry ice-queen expressions caught the interest of an up-and-coming talent scout. Forced to dress as a boy at home and school to help her amnesiac mother "get over" the fact that she caused the death of Hali's younger brother, it's no wonder that Hali has adopted a standoffish, jaded attitude. Afraid of losing her own identity, she obsessively pursues anything and anyone that makes her feel like herself again, be it a career as a model or the older man who was her tutor. But behind the aggressive bad girl image this gives her, Hali's actually just another normal, insecure teen who wants to grow up as fast as she can.
Time out. Cut. I'm not ready for my closeup. What the heck am I supposed to say to get you to put down that camera and pay attention to me for a minute? Listen, people. I'm really grateful that my agent got me a chance to test for your talent show, America's Next Topped Model or whatever you guys are calling it. But I'm totally new to this and I can still tell that you're doing it wrong. Nevermind that you just flew me halfway around the world or something to stand up to my knees in some kind of goopy swamp; hey, it's your money and I never liked those shoes anyway. But the way you're all treating me? It's not cool.
First, could someone just tell me where the trap is? It's all your wardrobe guys have been yelling ever since I got here. I feel like something's about to snap my leg off while I'm posing in here. Are they pissed off because I had to tell them I was here for the ladies shoot, or is there something I should know about that contract I just signed? My first born seemed like such a normal thing to ask for... man, I was joking. Get that hungry-looking expression of your face. What the hell would you do with it anyway?
At least they got me into the right clothes eventually, but can I just say? This outfit is really revealing. And I'm not just talking about the length of the skirt either, I mean it reveals a lot about your minds. What kind of pervert thinks this is how high-schoolers dress? If I showed up at my school like this, I'd get my ass handed to me. And for once I wouldn't blame those stupid teachers. If my butt's hanging out and their only choice is to hand it back to me or kiss it, I know what they'd go for. Unlike you people who were pawing at me the whole time I was getting ready. I told one guy I'd break his dick off if he came up behind me again, and he said that was fine and he had a box all ready for it just in case I did. Come on, what the heck?
Maybe we should just call it quits, because you're all seriously skeeving me out. Besides, I really don't think I'm the type you're looking for. I mean, your other models look like they could have used a sandwich a couple years before I was born. News flash, but I hear some guys really like a girl who has some meat on her bones. Hey, security boys. Monkey men! I said I'm leaving, so what are you doing?
No way. Is that skirt made out of steak? That's so not what I meant!
