Name: Soo-Yun Nuo Tsai
Age: 20
Location: Stella’s Freedom HQ
Immune or Carrier? Immune
Skills: Toxic Reservoir

Status: Single
Celebrity face: Eunjung (of t-ara)
Picture:
Brief appearance description: Tall and lanky, Soo-Yun teeters around 5”10 and sometimes wears combat platform boots that add about another inch or so to her height. Her body has the figure of some would call “a spoon shape” so her hips are slightly bigger than her bust. But it’s barely noticeable because of her skinny, lithe frame. Even though her form isn’t the most desirable body on the planet, Soo-Yun manages to use her slenderness to her advantage, which gifts her with an uncanny, panther-like grace. She dresses in blacks, dark blues, greys, purples, and reds; she prefers neutral or “cool colors” as opposed to “warm colors”, albeit red is an exception. Soo-Yun does not wear a whole lot of fancy jewelry—a few rings that complement her black nail polish are sufficed enough. Soo-Yun also likes wearing leather, leather pants and boots are her favorite clothing items. To her, finding them is akin to finding gold.
Short black hair frames her face and is mostly styled into a rebellious bob. Soo-Yun’s face is round and soft, pale and porcelain. Her chin has a slight point and her aquiline nose is long and rather small. Her onyx eyes are narrow and cat-shaped, giving her a sly, cunning, but eerie appearance to her facial features. As for her lips, they are light pink, plump, and lush. Her mouth is the only feature of Soo-Yun’s visage that she deems “attractive”.
Inside their head.
Personality: At first glance, Soo-Yun is often mistaken for being cold and emotionless, which is a blatant misconception. While Soo-Yun is reserved and blocks off many emotions that could hinder her in her daily tasks, she is by no means heartless or emotionally stunted. She simply prefers staving off emotions during hard times because in her eyes, one has to be hard and level-headed in order to survive. Soo-Yun grooms and pushes herself for survival and wants others to follow her example; however she does not force this idea upon others nor makes any effort influence them. Instead, she believes that those who want to survive will learn from her themselves without any help, guidance, or nudge from her. Teaching oneself how to survive first is one the greatest lessons life has to give offer, according to Soo-Yun.
Soo-Yun also has the odd habit of entering and leaving conversations in random sections, only to return later to drop in a seemingly random comment that makes perfect sense to her but others might not quickly grasp the connection. While she is not social inept, Soo-Yun does have trouble understanding or picking up social cues and tends to speak bluntly without regards to the feelings of others—life is cruel and the truth often hurts so why sugar-coat it? Because of this, she is viewed to be brutally honest and harsh, insensitive to other people. It’s not that she doesn’t care, Soo-Yun simply does not put people’s delicate sensibilities on her top priority when they are more crucial matters at hand.
Her years with Kyle Uther have toughened Soo-Yun up, and after watching years of people constantly suffer in life, Soo-Yun concluded that dying was easier than living and sometimes, death was actually more merciful than living and surviving. She accepts death for what it truly is and unlike others, has no plans to cheat death when her time comes. Everyone must die at some point, she believes, and no matter what they do, there is no stopping the fatality and frailty of human life. But despite her solemn, silent nature, Soo-Yun is a fighter and refuses to concede to the severity of life. The challenges and pain make her stronger and she will occasionally remind herself that she, unlike so many others, was able to survive the virus. Because of her lifestyle in Stella’s Freedoms, she soon came to view life with much more meaning than most people would realize but also carried the same approach with death. Soo-Yun no longer holds a dreary opinion of death and dying, she is able to see the brighter side of death.

Family:
Chao Xun Tsai- (Father, Infected/Deceased)
Jung Eun Tsai- (Mother, Infected/Deceased)
Wu Gang Tsai- (Grandfather, Infected/Deceased)
History: Soo-Yun was born into a normal, half-Chinese, half-Korean, middle-class family. Her father, Chao Tsai, owned a small grocery store that had been in his family for generations. Her grandfather, Wu Tsai, still liked working in the Tsai family’s store over and over again, despite his age. Wu hated sitting around for long periods of time—he was highly active in his youth and the enthusiasm still followed him even when he aged. Soo-Yun’s mother was a traditional Korean woman but even so, she too enjoyed her independence and didn’t always relay on her husband for finances. Jung Tsai started off as a part-time piano teacher and after marrying Chao Tsai, she then became inspired to start her own business. A year or so later, she soon had her own floral shop near her husband’s grocery store. When business for both of them was booming, they decided to have a child of their own. After a month of trying, Soo-Yun was conceived and nine months later, she was born.
At first, Soo-Yun was a very quiet, solemn child who preferred books and music instead of the company of others. Her parents grew worried about her solitude and decided to enroll her into sports at an early age so she could meet and play with other children. So at age 5 she engaged in soccer, ballet, and gymnastics and it was gymnastics where the young Soo-Yun thrived in. It didn’t matter what part of the gym she was in, she loved every activity: the floor, balance beam, trampoline, the uneven bars and so forth. Her light-weight, slender body made her the perfect candidate for a gymnast and her parents could envision her going far with her talents. Finally, the quiet Soo-Yun blossomed into a vibrant child who couldn’t wait to try another trick on the uneven bars or the floor.
But her grandfather, a man who had a soldier for a father, wanted Soo-Yun to also be able to protect herself and like his father before him, Wu Tsai showed the young eight-year-old Soo-Yun how to respect and care for a gun. Even though Wu never told anyone, he felt something ominous would betide soon in the Unites States and the ache in his bones was never wrong. So he took it upon himself to train Soo-Yun a thing or two about shooting a firearm. Her parents did not approve of this but they let them be because Wu wanted some time to bond with his granddaughter. Unbeknownst to them, they wouldn’t realize how valuable those times at the shooting range would be to Soo-Yun.
When Soo-Yun was ten, the Mange Virus struck and spread like wildfire. Wu wanted to remain in their house but fearing infection if they stayed, Chao and Jung managed to persuade her grandfather to leave with them. After taking the most basic necessities, food, water, and firearms (Wu Tsai didn’t have to protest too much on the notion of arming themselves from danger). After several hours on the road and dodging raging Infected, the Tsai family eventually found shelter in an abandoned motel. The area was completely deserted and after hiding their car, they quickly went into one of the rooms and locked the door. Unfortunately, their brief moment of calm and hope was shattered when Jung, Soo-Yun’s mother, become ill and displayed flu-like systems. Chao, Wu, and Soo-Yun desperately tried to alleviate the pain and cure her but her condition worsened. Then, Soo-Yun’s father was taken by the virus and he too was sick. Now all the duties were left to an old man and young girl to take care of the infected adults. For days, they labored and just when Soo-Yun thought the situation couldn’t get any worse, life tossed her another monkey wrench: Wu, her grandfather, also become sick and joined her parents. Now, ten-year-old Soo-Yun was alone and there was no one around to assist her as she attended her family. Her grandfather, unlike everyone else who, was not afraid to come to grips what was happening to them and knew instantly what to do. When he was certain all three of them had been infected with the virus and would soon turn into nightmarish, monstrous beasts, he instructed Soo-Yun to get his handgun and turn off the safety clip. When she did that, Wu then ordered his granddaughter to either shoot him in the head or heart. The young girl trembled at this command, telling her grandfather that he would get better, if only they just wanted a little longer.
“Listen to me, Soo-Yun. Your parents and I have been infected by this accursed virus. So far, you have not. Now, do us a favor and end our misery. If you don’t, then we’ll become those monsters outside, running rampage and mindless to the core. Now, I, for one, want to die with my humanity intact.” He maintained eye contact with her the entire time, despite his wheezing and hacking. Soo-Yun felt her hands shaking as she slowly leveled the handgun directly at her grandfather. Never in her life had she seen such content, such tranquility in his eyes—he truly was at peace with himself.
Silent tears slithered down her faces as she squeezed the trigger. A shot rang out and a crimson splotch blossomed on her grandfather’s chest, right where his heart was. The tears kept coming but she carried on, going to her mother, who was in the most pain, and ending her miserable life right then and there with a bullet in her skull. Last, she went to her father, who, like her mother, barely recognized her by now.
Another shot crackled into the air. Father now had a hole in his heart.
After killing her family in a merciful manner, Soo-Yun couldn’t stay in that room for long. She eventually gathered up all the supplies she could muster and carry and went to the opposite end of the motel. She couldn’t even burry them because it would be too risky, with the Infected hounding around for fresh food. Soo-Yun would have died from lack of supplies if Kyle Uther hadn’t come near the area and caught sight of the hidden car. Cautious, Soo-Yun crept behind him but was startled when Uther whirled around, rifle in hand. When he saw he was facing a child and not a monster, he then questioned her about her parents. In a hollow voice, she replied, “Dead.”
Kyle Uther didn’t ask her any more on the subject, he simply gathered the remaining supplies she had left and took her to his base, Stella’s Freedom. When she arrived at Stella’s Freedom, a change overcame Soo-Yun. She realized on that day, the old Soo-Yun died and she was reborn again, with a purpose and one purpose only: to survive and help Uther achieve his goal. During those ten years with Kyle Uther, she became stronger and tougher than ever. In the midst of those years, she even was charged with the task of euthanizing the incredibly weak and terminally ill members in Stella’s Freedom, a job she does silently and without question or remorse. Later on, she also become a spy and began gathering information on other survival groups, like the Sanctum or haven. However, despite knowing most of the people in Stella’s Freedom, she maintains her distance from her fellow members because after the loss of her family, Soo-Yun prefers not to undergo that experience all over again. So while she establishes formal “relations” with them, she does not get too close to them nor allows them to do the same. Kyle Uther’s sudden disappearance shocked her greatly and she spent many days practicing her aim, shooting and killing Infected to clear her head. Once more, Kyle’s seemingly abandonment served to remind her that she should never form close or intimate attachments with anyone because you never know when they might leave you, whether by choice or death. Emotions would hamper her means of survival and Soo-Yun wants to see this cause through the bitter end.
