Sujin Ekmongkolpaisarn (สุจินต์เอกมงคลไพศาล) was born into a wealthy Thai family: her mother was a social media starlet and her father an American-educated businessman. Given the nickname (chue len) Cherry at birth because of her mother's pregnancy cravings, she joined her older siblings Apple, Lychee and Mango in the house their father had affectionately dubbed the Fruit Bowl. The family of six was tight-knit, and Cherry had a better relationship with her siblings than most anyone else she knew did with theirs. To be completely honest, the children were spoiled - especially Cherry, as the youngest. She was prone to tantrums as a child (what can she say? she's a theatre kid at heart), and rarely reprimanded for anything: in the eyes of her parents, their children could do no wrong. Lychee made another child cry in the playground after mocking their shoes? People should teach their children not to be so easily offended. Mango punched another boy? Well, boys will be boys. And so on. While her siblings went to school, a five-year-old Cherry was her nannies' worst nightmare. A whirlwind at the best of times, one moment she'd be perfectly happy to do as she was told and the next decide that no, actually, that's not what she wants at all. It was on one of these occasions that Cherry did something that would change her life forever: had her first sign of magic. She burned down the nursery (and subsequently the rest of the house). Her nanny barely got both of them out alive, and even then her burns were catastrophic. She'd be living with the scars for the rest of her life. Cherry, though, was completely untouched by the fire (yet another burst of accidental magic), but that was where the Ekmongkolpaisarn family's luck stopped. After the loss of their house, everything went downhill: Cherry's father's company went under, and unable to face his wife he killed himself. As for Cherry's mother, she simply vanished one day. Her four children were left alone on the streets of Bangkok to fend for themselves. Quite a lifestyle change. Cherry adapted quickly - she had to, really - and became very good at doing what her brother Apple told her to. He'd joined a gang, you see, for safety, and gave Cherry the least dangerous jobs he could: begging, selling flowers on the street, etc. The danger was everpresent, however, and when Cherry was six she was snatched off the street by traffickers. She hasn't seen her siblings since. Soon enough, Cherry found herself in a place which was definitely not Bangkok - Hong Kong. Over the next year or so, she learnt Cantonese out of necessity so she could understand her captors. Eventually, she'd learnt enough to make a break for it, and when her accidental magic vanished her window... well. Clearly some power above wanted her to get out, so she climbed right out of that window and ran for her life. Hong Kong's streets were similar to Bangkok's in the way they were structured, and Cherry soon learned which areas to avoid. She got by by begging in tourist areas (they were the most generous, after all), watching the dance groups who'd sometimes gather to perform K-Pop choreographies to post on youtube. Ask her now and she'll tell you that's where her love for dance began, watching those groups on the street with their pretty clothes and fluid movements. She wanted to be like them. Now, a wizard child begging in such a busy area is bound to run into a wizard adult someday, and that's exactly what happened to an eight-year-old Cherry. She'd been sitting on her favourite corner, focusing on making a flower unfurl its petals when she'd been approached by a Korean woman and her seven year old son - Seohyun and Seungheon, is what the woman introduced them as. It took a few weeks for Cherry to work up the courage to trust the self-proclaimed witch, but they just kept coming back until she decided it was worth a shot. And that is how Cherry Ekmongkolpaisarn found her new family. And all the dragons. Of course, her trust was not given immediately, but built over the next few years - it helped that Seohyun and Taehyung, her new 'parents', had the unorthodox parenting method of figure it out yourself. Cherry fit right in. Cherry learnt Korean soon enough (Seungheon liked to babble at her, and she wanted to babble back), and Quidditch, of course - beating is her ultimate calling. The dragons on her new parents' reserve were downright awesome, and Cherry fully supports her brother's attempt to raise one in the Mahoutokoro dorms (even though it got him expelled). Even day school at Mahoutokoro was fun - magic is real. How cool is that? Being a year older than Seungheon, it often fell to Cherry to defend him from bullies, and Merlin, did she enjoy that duty. Her childhood, combined with her new family, made her completely and utterly fearless, and also completely and utterly clueless about what the acceptable response to most situations is. So she'd go in, (metaphorical) guns blazing, and make some children cry. Cherry calmed down considerably by the time she turned eleven and began boarding, and since she's developed something important called impulse control. She came to terms a while ago that she'll never be the most academically gifted person in the world, but she makes up for that with the common sense she developed as a child, and her sheer talent. That's something she discovered since starting Mahoutokoro - she's a natural performer. Singing, rapping, theatre, and especially dancing are Cherry's calling. Focusing on those meant that Cherry's quidditch fell to the wayside, but she's still often found helping her brother to practice, just as he'd humour her by coming along to her performing arts clubs. But Cherry got good, and by the end of her fourth year she'd been scouted by a British company, Reducto Records, and became a trainee for an upcoming girl group called The Charm Girls. As such, when Seungheon got himself expelled from Mahoutokoro and sent to Hogwarts, it wasn't overly difficult to convince her adoptive parents that Hogwarts was the best place for her, too. So for the last two terms of her seventh year, Cherry Ekmongkolpaisarn is coming to Hogwarts.
