She willingly stands up for others who cannot fight for themselves. Having a creative and imaginative mind allows her to come up with methods to make people happier. She likes to befriend others and cares about her friends, though she needs some time alone every now and then to recharge.

She is not good at facing conflict or receiving criticism and will try to evade these difficult situations, or argue back irrationally to maintain her dignity.

Dasom Kim was only 17 years old when she gave birth to Jina. Not ready to be a mother, she gave her child up for adoption. Jina was soon adopted by Dan and Hanna Morin, a couple living in Quebec, Canada. She grew up happily, attended school and made friends. Then, the Morins were visited by a man who told them about the wizarding world and offered Jina a place at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She felt conflicted initially, because she loved studying at Muggle school and did not want to leave her friends. However, she ultimately accepted the invitation to learn magic.
At Ilvermorny, Jina was selected by Horned Serpent and Pukwudgie. She chose to join the house of Pukwudgie. She did well in her classes, excelling in Arithmancy and Potions. At the end of her fifth year, her parents told her that they will be moving to the United Kingdom. They wanted her to stay close to them and advised her to transfer to a wizarding school in Britain. Jina was again sad to leave her friends behind, but looked forward to making the move to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, having heard good things about the school.
Text Cut: Sixth Year, 2100 ~ 2101 (Term 54)
Having arrived in London in June 2100, Jina spent her summer holiday exploring the country that was her new home. After doing her school shopping at Diagon Alley, she also wandered the streets eating ice cream and buying pretty clothes. At Florean Fortescue’s, she met Carsyn Rose, who told her about the frightening events at Hogwarts (or more accurately, at Beauxbatons) the previous year. Jina began to feel more afraid about attending Hogwarts, despite Carsyn’s attempts to reassure her.
On September 1, Jina boarded the Hogwarts Express nervously for her first journey to Hogwarts. She occupied the same compartment as Eiji Rasting and Phoebe James. When she arrived at the castle, she was sorted into Ravenclaw. School began the next day and she attended classes, soon adapting to life at Hogwarts. She was shy initially, but slowly made some good friends, including Jillian Kim, Charlie Rivers and Lai Younian. She participated in the extra-curricular activities of Latin, Healers of Tomorrow and Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare and attended Apparition classes, with the goal of getting her license by the end of the year. She also took part in the Muggle Studies Long Term Assignment, where she had to take care of a fake baby doll “Billie” for a few months. Long story short … Jina decided that she will not have a child in the future.
All in all, Hogwarts was not as frightening as she first imagined, as the closest she was to danger was being attacked by a dummy in her first Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson. However, she soon found out about more serious happenings around the school. When an emergency assembly was announced to return the school founders back to their portraits, Jina joined Professor Recard’s team. Fortunately, the founders were successfully returned into their portraits!
Near the end of the school term, Jina returned to Ilvermorny for two weeks to take her JARVEY tests and see her friends. She also took her Apparition Test at Hogwarts, but failed because she completely missed the target location. She finished the term as 5th top Ravenclaw student, having earned 74 house points. Text Cut: Seventh Year, 2101 ~ 2102 (Term 55)
In the summer break of 2101, Jina first returned to Quebec with her parents to visit their relatives and friends. Her friend Jillian visited her there and they spent their time hanging out the Muggle way. After a few weeks, Jina returned to London and the wizarding world. Her time was mostly divided between her part time job at the Owl Post Office in Diagon Alley and studying for NEWT exams. To commemorate her last day of work at the Post Office, she stopped by Eeylops Owl Emporium and bought an elf owl, whom she named Dobby.
On September 1, Jina traveled to Hogwarts with Eiji Rasting (again) and Nina Castillo. School started the next day and the seventh year busied herself with homework, NEWT revision and her new responsibility of Yearbook Scribe. She went through a brief period of senioritis, with unusually low motivation to concentrate on her academics. However, she quickly reflected on the problem and improved her productivity by using a magical homework planner that yelled at her to stop procrastinating whenever she opened it. Studying together with Jillian was also effective. They discovered the room of requirement together one day and used it as their study spot. She began to develop a crush on the head girl, but tried to hide her feelings.
Meanwhile, strange things were happening at Hogwarts. The sky often changed colours, from purple to red. With Isla Bellchant, Avalon Sinclair and Kitt Lazarus, Jina met a reporter named Sunny Raine at the entrance gates. He was looking for a story about “funny business with the sky”. They accidentally(?) invited him into the castle and took him straight to the headmaster’s office, where he revealed that he will stick around the school for a few weeks to investigate the strange weather. The weather indeed continued to worsen, until a storm struck that disabled all magic and locked everybody in the castle. Jina spent a miserable winter break at Hogwarts. The very bright girl was, perhaps for the first time in her life, becoming forgetful. She began to take on a translucent hue too, like all students and staff. She cheered up by participating in the school sleepover and icy escapade prefect event. When a disembodied voice began to appear in the castle, she helped with the seance to talk to former Divination Professor Crystal Divine, who told them that a magical storm had sent Hogwarts to the past. Unbelievable! Afterwards, the correct spell was used to return them to the current timeline. The sky changed back to its normal shade of blue, memory was restored and all inhabitants of the castle were opaque again. All was well.
Except the fact that NEWT exams were still a thing. With her newly returned memory space, Jina spent two months revising hard and took the exams at the end of July, later than the scheduled time. She also retook and passed the Apparition Test after failing it the previous year. She finished the term as 4th top Ravenclaw student and 9th top student overall, having earned 195 house points. Jina was also named a Top Notch Historian, particularly for her efforts in the long term assignment, and was voted as “Miss Hogwarts” and “Most Likely to Invent or Discover Something” in the yearbook superlatives.
Jina is a proud graduate of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Class of 2102. Text Cut: After Hogwarts, 2102 ~ (Terms 56 ~)
Before she found out that she is a witch, Jina dreamt of becoming a doctor in the Muggle world. Upon considering career choices while at Hogwarts, she decided that her childhood aspiration remained unchanged. She wanted to become a Healer - a witch who treats people who are ill. Therefore, she applied to pursue Pre-Healer Studies at Wizarding University (Montreal, Salem, London, Ambleside and Edinburgh campuses) early in her senior year of school. As soon as Hogwarts turned normal again, owls flooded in to inform her of the admission decisions. She was accepted by WU Montreal, but was declined by all other campuses. Oh well, the Montreal campus was her favourite choice, anyway!
Jina moved back to Quebec soon after graduation to live with her grandmother. From her new home, she Apparates to university everyday. She also Apparates to the UK frequently to see her parents who still work there, as well as her lovely friends.
And THEN some more unwritten history.
