❝Sophisticated but laid-back. She’s both. She’s chic.❞
Right in a hospital on the busy road of Kyoto, on June 13th, 14:56pm, a baby girl was born. Her name is Yukari Hikaru, she goes by the name Yuka. She was raised in a wealthy family, with both of her parents having a steady income. Her father works as a CEO on a media/entertainment company, while her mother works at home as a well-known designer. She have always been blessed as a child, having a loving parents, supplied with nothing but great things, living a life every little girl would absolutely dream about, also learned a lot of things from her very own mother that is incredibly artistic and independent; in a way harsh when Yuka is unable to have the things she want, or when she has to work in order to obtain something. This taught her we can't always have anything we want in life doesn't matter how loaded or fulfilled our lives are without working for it. This balance her mother always showed her really prevented her from being spoiled. Growing up, she had always been passionate about everything she was doing in order to achieve her own goal to be as much of an independent woman as her mother. She didn't want to be dependent towards her family's wealth because eventually, someday she would have to live on her own.
Art was, IS, and will always be everything for her. It's one of the million things in her life she had always loved and cherished. She believes in her capability of seeing and differentiating various colours in their thousands of beautiful hues and shades, hence making her inspired whenever surrounded with beautifully colored fabrics or palettes inside her mother's office at home. She remembered she would always stare at them in awe whenever she visited her as her mother worked on her designs. Those beautiful colors... intrigued her. It tickled her sensed everytime. It was almost as if... she could see colors in actions, in one's presence, just like how some people are able to tell the color of a melody in a song.
When everything seemed to be going well—Yuka attending one of the prestigious art university in Paris, her father and mother's careers both are on its peak of success—due to a family problem, her parents had to be divorced. Her father—that was working in Korea—flew back to Japan as he moved to the office's sub placed in Tokyo, staying below the radar after the divorce had taken place. Her mother fell into depression, taking a toll on her raising career. Heavily affected by the terrible news, knowing she was the only child and her mother having no one taking care of her back home, she flew back to Korea after deciding to take a time off university, quickly recovering once she was sure both of her parents are now in a good state. Although she had never been close with her father, she wouldn't be there, where she's standing without him. She wouldn't have been who she is today without him. She wouldn't have ever discovered that such a great man existed if it wasn't for him.
Her mother's influence as a fashion designer quickly affected her soon after she returned from Paris, sparking her interest in the fashion industry. Her mother then often made her daughter model for her own brand as the public slowly started paying attention to her. She officially started modelling when Beau+y Entertainment recruited her after personally contacting her via Instagram. However, her passion for arts will never die. She would spend her free time making artworks, sometimes keeping them for herself, giving them to her friends as an iconic gift, or to sell it online.
