"Oh my god... she's such a little weirdo..." "Yeah... why can't you be normal?" "It's obvious, isn't it? It's because she's a freak.". Met with a round of snickering out of the three girls, a young Chae-yeong found herself surrounded in the hallway of their elementary school. Fighting back tears, Cheon balled her hands into fists. "Leave... me... alone..." She squeaked, feeling her voice wavering as the rage and fear within her churned and slowly boiled over. It had been going on like this for months now - the three most popular girls in school had found their target. Not only did she look different from most of the school, Cheon acted differently, spending time with the boys instead of assimilating with the rest of the girls. She'd broken boundaries that weren't meant to be broken for another few years, and this was unacceptable. It would not be tolerated. If she wasn't going to join them, then they'd just have to make her leave.

"Aww... look at her, she's shaking." The ringleader threw her head back with laughter as she approached Cheon. It was true. Cheon hadn't realized until it was mentioned, but it seemed as if she had lost conscious control of her body already. "You want us to leave, Chae-yeong?" In the most condescending tone, the little blonde stepped even closer to Cheon. As Cheon shifted her head to avoid direct eye contact from her bully, she was caught off guard with the forceful shove that came next which sent her two steps backwards. Before she could even make a sound, the second girl stepped up, positioning her foot just behind Cheon in the split second that she was thrown off balance. It was futile, she was going down. With the heel of her foot catching the side of the girl's foot, Cheon landed hard on her back, feeling the wind being knocked right out of her. Before she could make another sound, a swift kick from the ringleader forced the rest of the wind from her lungs, and Cheon doubled over, gasping for air. The third girl stood by, watching with a smirk on her face as she motioned to the ringleader. "Hey, how about we put her in her place?"

The ringleader reached for Cheon, grabbing her by the hair. It was then that Cheon seemed to regain some of her senses. Flailing her arms, Cheon clawed out at her assailants, but it was already too late. Another kick from the second girl was all it took for Cheon to reel over in pain and succumb to her demise. The ringleader tugged even harder, bringing Cheon to her feet. Cheon hissed, giving the girls a death glare as she once again tried to claw her way out of it, but before she knew what was happening, Cheon found herself plunged into darkness as she was pushed into a locker. The metal door slammed shut. All she could hear was laughing. All she could feel was pain.

It was too much. Too overwhelming. Cheon screamed as she banged on the door. But there was no one. She screamed even louder, but all she could hear was the laughing... the name calling... the insults that had been hurled at her day after day. As the darkness blanketed her body, Cheon's emotions spiraled out of control. 'No...' The darkness crept forward, reaching for her as it crawled onto her body. She couldn't move... she couldn't breathe... everything was getting tighter. Opening her mouth, Cheon tried to let out another scream, but there was no sound. She felt her heart racing as panic began to set in. Why did they do this to her? Why did they like picking on her so much? She wasn't that diferent, was she? Her breath slowed as she once again lost conscious control of her body. She needed to get out... This needed to stop... They needed to stop. 'Stop.... no.... go away.... please... just stop....'

The fear was overwhelming, and before she knew it, the whole school itself seemed to respond to her emotions, rumbling as if a mild earthquake had hit the city. She didn't know what happened after that. All that she could piece together was that she woke up several days later in her house and that, according to her parents, the school had been shut down so she was going to get homeschooled from now on. It wasn't until the nightmares kicked in that Cheon got the whole story - two of her bullies were found dead near the locker she'd been locked in, and their cause of death was severe hypoxia. The third was found roughly 80 feet away - it had been reported by the students and teacher that she was 'launched across the building' and suffered severe trauma that left her in a vegetative state. Her parents had known exactly what it was, because it was true. Their daughter wasn't normal. She was a Homo magi, and Cheon had to learn the hard way the devastating power of uncontrolled magic.

[General Information]

Name: 조 지현 (Romanized Cho, Chae-yeong)
Nicknames: Cheon
Titles: Cheon
Age: 22
Birthday: January 8th
Star sign: Capricorn
Gender: Female
Race: Homo magi
Alliance: Good
Personality: Ever since anyone could remember, Chae-yeong had been a tomboy. In place of dolls and makeup, she grew up wanting to play with the boys and found more interest in being outdoors and getting dirty than staying in and being 'proper' all the time. She never believed in any limits or differences between sexes, always asking 'if they can do it, then why are you trying to stop me from doing it too?' whenever her mother or nanny would pull her aside. Never one to bow down or allow others to treat her inferiorly for any reasons other than her own personal inadequacy, Chae-yeong still exhibits that strength and resilience to this day. To the public eye, Chae-yeong is also seen to be playful and full of life, always smiling and teasing and friendly to those who approach her. Stubborn and hot headed, Chae-yeong was always getting into trouble in her youth, and still seems to have a knack for it even in adulthood, and although she has a strong moral compass and an indomitable will, Chae-yeong is also known to bend laws and break rules where she sees fit if a situation ever called for it. Her desire to help others far exceeds her fear of repercussions, making her a bit of a handful when it comes to her line of work as a new 'hero'. Her loyalty to her friends is ulfaltering, but her ability to trust is lacking as she has a hard time opening up to others and letting people into her life. To be classified as a friend by her means that a strong and potentially lifelong bond has been forged, and she would go to the ends of the earth to get her friends out of trouble if any situation ever occurred. But the moment she is betrayed, Chae-yeong is not above cutting all ties and completely shutting people from her life with no second thoughts. Beneath the strong exterior lies a fun loving and outgoing girl with a passion for adventure and a mind full of child-like curiosity.

Intelligence Level: While she may not be the most intellectual person in the room, Cheon can still hold her own in the world of academia. Her greatest downfall is that her judgement is often clouded by her quick temper and her own natural tendency to react emotionally rather than logically. That being said, she also enjoys puzzles and challenges involving the mind every once in a while. Cheon is also fairly street smart, having actually spent a portion of her youth on the streets. She's a bit of a hustler, and though she's definitely out of that environment now, Cheon still maintains some connections with people for intel.
Dominant Hand: Right handed
Strengths: Indomitable will, Quick learner, Athleticism and physique, Familial influence and wealth
Weaknesses: Short temper, Easily clouded judgement, Emotional thinker, Fear of the dark, Fear of her magic

Cherished Items:

Mother's Wedding Band: A simple gold band with the inscription '우리는 천생연분이야.'. Given to Cheon's mother on her wedding day, the ring symbolized the vows her father made through the sanctity of marriage. Prior to her leaving the house and her estrangement from the family, Cheon's mother gave the ring to her, and although she and her mother are still somewhat estranged, the girl still keeps the ring on her at all times as a reminder of her past, and of the undying loyalty and strength that her mother has despite all of the hardships she was faced with in the marriage. She wears the band around the ring finger of the right hand and uses its presence to focus her mind when she's stressed.

Black Book: A small, leather-bound black book given to her by her very first mentor. While its contents may not be too significant - phone numbers, addresses, a few notes on magic and the occult - the object itself symbolizes the transitional period of Cheon's life and her first taste of freedom and hardship. Like the ring, it serves as a constant reminder of the journey that Cheon took to arrive at where she is now.

Jinxey: A tattered old teddy bear. One of its eyes has been replaced by a coat button, part of its ear seems to have been chewed off, and one of its arms looks as if its about to fall apart. Jinxey is the first gift Cheon's father had ever given her, and it holds a special place in her heart for that very reason. Many of the innate protective spells around her seem to revolve around the image/idea of Jinxey.

Philosophical/social viewpoint: Magic always comes at a price, and this is one lesson that Cheon has learned time and time again. Part of her believes that being a Homo magi is almost like a curse, but there have been countless more times that having her powers has come in handy. Cheon also isn't one to blindly put her trust in others, making it difficult for her to work with strangers. While she may seem friendly, everything is at surface level and she won't reveal her true, inner self until she feels more comfortable. While she does believe that people are generally good and act in good nature, she also believes that the world has a tendency towards chaos and disorder, which contributes to her suspicions and distrust of people she's not fully familiar with.

Religious viewpoint: Cheon isn't a devout subscriber to any religious faith, though she has learned about and studied many of them in her time. Growing up, Cheon's family was devoutly Christian, but her faith in the church and in faith in general deteriorated over time. Part of her doctorate thesis is an exploration on the topic of faith and religion on different societies and cultures throughout history.

Romantic viewpoint: A mushy romantic at heart, beneath Cheon's seemingly tough and unfazed exterior lies a typical 22 year old female on the inside. When it comes to love, Cheon is a sucker for classic romance but is too proud to show it unless she's extremely comfortable with her person of interest. Among her guilty pleasures is her love for romance movies and dramas. She constantly finds herself questioning concepts like true love and soulmates and whether or not they exist.

Biography

Growing up in the Cho house was not all it seemed to be. To the public eye, they looked normal. Happy. Like any traditional American family. But with roots in Korea and steeped in tradition, the free-spirited Chae-yeong had always felt trapped. Born a little over a week after the new year, Chae-yeong was the only daughter of Baek-hyeon and Chae-ryung. She was the youngest of the large Cho family, who had moved from South Korea almost a decade prior to open the company’s American branch on the west coast. Widely successful in Korea, it took little time for the company to grow and expand once it was established in the United States. Born into wealth, it seemed to the outside world that Cheon had everything any child could ever ask for. Yet though she was spoiled like the little princess that her parents believed her to be, Cheon never seemed to be satisfied with anything. She was different – never really played with her toys her father brought home, never putting on the dresses her mother bought for her, never sitting still for any longer than a few minutes at a time before she needed to run around. Cheon preferred to run around with her elder brothers, or play with the family pets outside. Full of laughter and full of life, her parents knew from the very beginning that they wouldn’t be able to mould her into any pre-set personality. Chae-yeong was going to grow up to be a rebel, a girl that spoke her mind. One that would never back down from a fight, or bow to someone’s will or command without due reason. The dichotomy between her parents' traditional values, and the more liberal values that society had at the time served only to make things worse for the girl as she grew older and finally did enter her rebellious phase.

It came quite early, in fact. By the time she started grade school, she was already constantly getting into trouble with her teachers and her peers, mostly for her behavior or her mannerisms. Like her elder brothers, Cheon was sent to boarding school, but she never really liked the kids there. She never really made any friends, either. The boys acted weird around her for being brave enough to speak to them, and the girls never liked her for whatever reason. As trivial as that may sound, it was traumatic for Cheon, who was only trying to find somewhere to fit into. Constantly teased and bullied, it didn’t take long for something bad to happen. Something that she would carry for the rest of her life. It was out of her control, yes, but the ramifications were severe. At the tender age of 7, the death of two classmates and permanent injury of a third was linked back to her, after an incident that would later be heavily covered up by the Cho family’s vast network of influences and monetary resources. After years of bullying at the hands of her classmates, Cheon was pushed over the edge when, after an altercation with the popular girls of her school, she was forcefully locked in a locker and left there screaming for help. When the survival instinct kicked in, that was when things had gotten out of hand: Unknown to Cheon at the time was the fact that she was born a Homo magi. Her parents actually came from a long line of magicians, but as neither of them had ever manifested any powers it was unknown to them. When her powers manifested for the first time, it was heavily linked to her emotional state – distress, panic, fear – and with only thoughts of the most recent events running through her head, the magic was naturally targeted to her assailants. Of course, Cheon didn’t remember any of it when she finally came to several days after. All she had been told was that the school was shut down after an incident and that she would be homeschooled from then on.

But Cheon knew. She knew what she had done the moment she started having nightmares about it. Her parents and siblings had started to treat her differently, distancing themselves from her. They had to hire a new nanny, who seemed to end up spending more time with Cheon than any of her family. She could tell that it wasn’t because they were afraid of her… but things were just different. Cheon herself fell into a slump, constantly having nightmares of the event. Her parents tried to help in the only way they knew how – hiring therapists, hiring experts, hiring doctors and even priests from all over the world to care for her, but it only pushed her away even more. Feeling isolated and alone, Cheon shut herself out from the world. As per a suggestion from one of the therapists that the family hired for Cheon, the family took to adoption as a potential last-ditch attempt to help with Cheon’s condition, and slowly but surely it seemed to work. The boy, only one year older than Cheon, was picked up from a local orphanage, putting the family and the company in the spotlight for their philanthropic endeavours.

It took Cheon a little time to accept the change – at her age, she didn’t really know what was going on. The only thing she knew was that there would be a new face in the house, a new presence that would eventually come to reject her for the very fact that she was different. She never accounted for the possibility that Kelli, like Cheon, was also different. That like Cheon, he refused to follow in her parent’s traditional values. That their personalities and passions were actually quite similar, and the burden that he seemed to bear as a child thrust into a new environment made him all the more approachable and relatable. Little by little, Cheon began to open up to him, and for what seemed like the first time in a long time, a true friendship was forged from the rubble. Inspired by his courage and resilience, Cheon would eventually blossom into her own person as she spent more and more time with Kelli, finding more courage to grow as an individual alongside someone who encouraged her to be herself. The pair were virtually inseparable for a time, with Cheon slowly guiding Kelli through living the life of a socialite and navigating around the family dynamic, and Kelli showing her the true value in being herself and refusing to follow the norms that her parents had set out for her. Their shenanigans had managed to win them a reputation for being rabble-rousers, which to the dismay of her parents seemed to permeate through their social circles. With his help, Cheon would even eventually come to accept her fate as a Homo magi with the power to tap into magical energies - sure, she might have been a little different, but at the end of the day she was still basically human. And while her parents attempted to restore some semblance of normalcy to Cheon’s life, it was still hard for the girl to adjust from having normal school lessons to her somewhat lackluster and mediocre lessons in magic.

Cheon showed great potential in magic, but despite the praise Cheon seemed never to really enjoy it as much as she did spending time with Kelli, and with her friends and people who knew nothing of her powers. Taking note of that, it then became in her best interest to focus more on that aspect of her life, leading Cheon to put magic aside for a time. Her parents had enrolled Cheon in a variety of sports, believing it important for their daughter to not only hone her mind, but also to hone her body in order to maintain perfect balance. She competed competitively in soccer, volleyball, and taekwondo, and also dabbled in aikido, ballet, and synchronized swimming.

Cheon's life would once again change at the age of 11. Following the boating accident that reportedly took Kelli’s life, a devastated Cheon was left to grieve while, yet gain, her father stepped in to try and cover the whole ordeal up. With his connections, Cheon's father had burned all record of Kelli and silenced the media. While his actions were sufficient in protecting the family and company name, the fact that he had refused Cheon the right to even to hold a funeral for Kelli made the girl see her father in a new light. Still young at the time, there was very little that Cheon could do apart from distancing herself from her immediate family and that toxic environment as a whole. Cheon would eventually move away to live with her aunt across the country, but being the rebellious soul she was, Cheon would always get herself into trouble with the authorities or with her relatives. She spent most of her time out doing her extracurricular activities, and with what little time she had left Cheon tended to spend that on the streets instead of at home. Her rebellious phase grew even worse with time, even becoming involved in illicit and illegal activities in the world of organized crime at one point just to spite her father.

Her life took another dramatic turn when at the age of 17 she was saved by an old Homo magi known only by the name Oana. It was a sale gone wrong, and when Cheon's magic had failed to protect her with what limited practice and knowledge she had, the blind old Romanian woman subdued her assailants rather quickly, cackling the whole way through. Oana became Cheon's first mentor in the world of magic and the occult, but was a brutal and ruthless teacher who pushed Cheon to the utmost mental and physical limits every day. Claiming that their 'fates had been intertwined by the cosmos', Osana taught Cheon almost everything she knew before she passed due to natural causes. After inheriting the old woman's estate, Cheon made the final decision that it was in her best interest to focus on the 'real world'. Devoting the remainder of her teen years to climbing the ladder in the world of academia, Cheon would attend an Ivy League institution where she pursued a degree in the arts.

Now at a crossroads between pursuing her doctorate or finally and fully embracing her powers as a Homo magi, Cheon's story is just about to finally unravel.

[Relationship information]

Friends:
○ Oana | Good | Teacher/Mentor (Deceased)
Cheon's first mentor, Oana was a Homo magi with the ability to tap into the spirit realm and harness lunar energy to cast her spells. Oana dabbled in many forms of magic in her youth, and at the time Cheon first met her she was adamant on becoming her teacher. Prior to her death, Oana gave Cheon a black leather book containing contact information, and very limited information about the world of magic. Having sworn to her mentor that she would use her powers for great deeds, just as Oana had done for Cheon when they first met, Cheon is torn between a life of normalcy and honoring her promise. To make matters worse, Oana left Cheon with most of her belongings in her last will, including books and various artifacts that Cheon now keeps in her apartment.

Family:
○ 조채령 Chae-ryeong Cho | Neutral | Mother
Cheon's mother is kind, caring, soft spoken, feminine, and patient... an almost stark contrast to her daughter's brash, bold, fearless attitude. Though she may appear weak, Chae-ryeong is much stronger than she appears, and many believe that Cheon actually inherited her mother's will and determination. Like the strong foundation of any building, Chae-ryeong keeps the whole family together, and although she is well aware of her husband's less than savory dealings and business endeavors, she refuses to let something of that nature tear the family apart. Though Cheon isn't really on speaking terms with her mother, the girl still feels that her mother is perhaps the biggest influence on her as a person, and even to this day Cheon wears her mother's wedding band - a little known fact is that though Chae-ryeong is still married in legal terms, the woman has long fallen out of love (hence why Chae-ryeong gave Cheon her wedding ring before Cheon left).

○ 조백현 Baek-hyeon Cho | Evil | Father
Strong willed and driven, Cheon's father is perhaps one of the scariest men in her life. On the exterior he may seem soft and polite, but in reality Baek-hyeon is a viper waiting to strike. With his mindset focused solely on success and on his business, it seems that everything he does in life is either to boost his own status or to boost the sales of his company - even if it means engineering tech used to start and end wars. Time and time again, Baek-hyeon has proven that there are no limits to what money and influence is capable of doing, whether it be completely erasing the records of the adopted son he presumed was dead to preserve the family name and avoid legal battles, or covering up murders with money, threats, and exploitation to protect the family name and company brand. While he may be a genius, it seems that Cheon's father lacks any sense of humanity, and it is for that reason that Cheon is now estranged from the rest of her family.

○ Kelli King | Good | Adopted Brother
Kelli was Cheon's first best friend growing up. The family adopted him as not only a last-ditch attempt at therapy for Cheon, but also a genius PR move to boost the family's name in terms of its philanthropic contributions. Though reluctant to get to know him at first, when Cheon finally accepted Kellis into her life, the two were almost inseparable. With very similar personalities and passions and ambitions in life, the two vibed so well that they'd developed a reputation in the community as always being up to no good. Following the presumably fatal boating accident, Cheon was devastated that she'd lost her best friend and was irate at the way her father was handling the situation. Though they had since lost contact, Cheon still constantly thinks about him today.

[Weapon information]

○ Concealed Butterfly Knives: Cheon's choice weapon while living as a street vagrant. While it may not look it, Cheon is actually quite well equipped to use them in combat. With her years of training in martial arts in combination with her small frame and quick but carefully calculated movements, Cheon is known to be able to hold her own in street fights.
○ Gloves: Passed down to her from her mentor Oana, Cheon uses the black gloves that she's constantly seen wearing to channel her magic. Though she is more than capable of using magic without the need of her gloves, it seems that having them is almost like a crutch of sorts, especially for her as she is still fairly inexperienced. They seem to be charmed by some kind of ancient magic that prevents them from getting dirty or damaged.
○ Belt: Another gift from Oana, Cheon's belt is made from material dated from centuries ago. Imbued with powerful ancient magic, the belt serves almost like armor for Cheon, capable of shifting around her body and wrapping around her in a cocoon-like fashion to protect her from oncoming damage. The belt can also be used to bind her opponents as if by powerful magic restraints.

[Other item information]

○ Key to Shadowcrest: Sent to her via an unmarked envelope with only a small note that said 'Peek ti efas', Cheon has yet to learn of its origins or what it entails. Unbeknownst to her is that this key is linked to her predecessor, seeing as she now serves as the Legacy of Zatanna Zatara. The key that Cheon received gives her unprecedented access to the Zatara family ancestral home - Shadowcrest - and everything within. Cheon was given unprecedented access to the Zatara family's ancestral home and will in the future serve as its sole caretaker.
○ Tarot Cards: Cheon has a normal deck of tarot cards given to her by her mentor. Though they don't seem to have any magical properties, it seems that the material that the cards are made out of make it much easier to imbue magic into them.
○ Crystal Ball: A small, enchanted crystal ball that Cheon can channel her magic into. Part of her training with Oana was in the use of crystals as a conduit to her magic, and Cheon is also capable of trapping entities and beings of lesser magical power within the ball as a means of detainment, if she uses the proper spell.

[Ability information]

○ Magic: As a member of the magical human race, Cheon has been endowed with the innate ability to use powerful magics. While initially she learned her own forms of magic, upon becoming the Legacy of Zatanna the woman has found herself more comfortable with using Zatanna's more famous form of backwards incantation. Like Zatanna, Cheon can cast a vast number of spells, which she usually does by speaking backwards. However, the backwards-speaking is not always necessary for her to cast spells. With time and practice, speaking backwards was made as easy for her as it was to speak forwards. Cheon's sorcery even extends to being able to conjure and manipulate the elements themselves with verbal commands. She is also known to be capable of many incredible feats, ranging from flight, weather control, healing, illusion casting, telekinesis, telepathy, teleportation, force field generation, dimensional travel, size alteration, spectral sight, mystical invulnerability, probability manipulation, memory manipulation (erasing and altering people's memories), superhuman strength, superhuman durability and extraction and teleportation of souls (she only uses this ability in dire situations). The only known limitation to her magic is that she cannot bring the dead back to life. But unlike Zatanna, Cheon is not very adept at magical improvisation yet when it comes to high-pressure environments involving humans and/or other sentient beings. That being said, when she's in situations akin to those that she faced daily while traveling around the world for her doctorate thesis, Cheon is known to be able to think quickly on her feet and get herself (and others) out of sticky situations rather quickly. She often uses her magic to assist in performing everyday tasks, especially if she is too busy or fatigued to do them the mundane way.
○ Occultism: While not very knowledgeable in the realm of the occult, Cheon does seem to have a basic understanding of the general happenings. Her mentor's vast library is filled with information on the occult, but Cheon has yet to fully sift through everything that she inherited. Her passion for learning makes it much easier for Cheon to pick up information on topics that pique her interest.
○ Spiritualism: Cheon seems to be very well grounded in the real of spiritualism and self-realization. As a practitioner of yoga and meditation, Cheon has integrated her magical teachings with what she learned from her mentor and, on some occasions, has been capable of feats like astral projection, clairvoyance, and even precognition in rare instances. She believes that this is due to her being able to create bonds with beings of 'higher power'.
○ Multilingualism: Cheon is mostly fluent in dead and/or magical languages (i.e. Latin, Backwards Speech), but is also known to speak Korean, and German to varying degrees of fluency.
○ Hand-to-hand Combat: Trained from an early age in several forms of martial arts, Cheon is known to be able to hold her own when it comes to physical combat. It helps that Cheon is also somewhat naturally athletically inclined and a bit of an adrenaline junkie willing to take risks. Cheon specializes in both unarmed and armed combat, preferring the butterfly knife as her weapon of choice.

[Weakness information]

○ Mnemonic Incantation: Like Zatanna, Cheon typically casts her spells by saying the words of her incantations backwards. She must concentrate on her magic to make sure she is using the proper spell. It is at this point where she is most vulnerable. Mnemonic incantation is the most complicated of the mystic arts. To those who are familiar with Zatanna's magics, this flaw is easily recognizable in Cheon's own magic. She must be able to speak or read backwards in order for her to focus her spells.
○ Higher-Level Magics: If the magic power-level of her opponent is higher than hers, then it would be extremely difficult for her to win a battle. In addition, it is difficult to impossible to affect a spell that was set in motion with higher-level magics. Powerful enchantments against beings of magic, like gods, are able to restrict her as well, preventing her from accessing enchanted places or dispel the adverse charm.
○ Lack of Experience: While the thought of crime fighting is all well and good, at the end of the day Cheon is just a normal girl with relatively little training when it comes to actual crime-fighting or heroism in general.
