Personality & Traits
| General Overview | Moon-Young Chung is a compassionate person, artistic, and – although even she’s not aware of it – courageous. Even though her time spent with her father was intermittent, she managed to learn quite a lot of the larger universe and its peoples; however, she hasn’t left the Sol System since she was eight years old. Her inexperience with different cultures, peoples, and space in general is telling. | |
| Strengths & Weaknesses | Strengths: + Brave + Artistic + Independent + Kind Weaknesses: - Unexperienced with life off-planet Earth |
|
| Ambitions | She continues to strive to develop her artistic vision in costume design, but being on the station and seeing the other merchants has given her the idea of opening her own couture shop on the Promenade. | |
| Hobbies & Interests | Although its also her profession, Moon religiously follows both fashion and the performing arts. She regularly will seek time in the holodecks and run a wide variety of programs - anything that allows her inner performer to come out. Missing the landscapes of Earth, she enjoys spending time in the Environmental Ring - running, hiking, rowing, or tennis, it doesn't matter which. |
| Personal History | Chung Moon-Young was born in Paris to Chung Dae-Jung and Pak Bong Cha. Her father was a diplomat with a growing reputation due to his expertise in Cardassia and its occupation of Bajor. Her mother was a retired dancer. It was not a happy home. Dae-Jung’s worse qualities were his arrogance and controlling nature; Bong Cha had a fiery temperament and an independent streak. This volatile mixture worked in their youth, but as the aged and the suppleness of their personalities hardened it turned into a bomb. Moon-Young spent much of her early years hiding in her room, playing with the multitude of dolls that she owned, each bought by one parent or the other to assuage their guilt over their daughter over-hearing their explosive arguments. They finally divorced when Moon-Young was eight. The family had been living on Bajor since the occupation ended and with the situation deteriorating due to the Dominion, she had no choice but to decamp with her mother when Bong Cha returned to Earth. For the rest of her childhood, she lived in a village on the outskirts of Seoul. It was carefree, filled with the arts, and a parade of her mother’s boyfriends. Moon-Young remained ignorant of the tragedies that struck Earth during the Dominion War and spent her teenage years in the pursuit of naïve romantic entanglements. When she graduated from high school, Dae-Jung wanted her to attend Starfleet Academy; her mother wanted her to be an actress. She chose neither, instead enrolling in fashion school with a focus on costume design. After graduation, she became an assistant to one of theaters’ preeminent designers and, with five years, was a sought-after designer herself. She first met Maurice Rubens when she was in college and saw him a few times over the years at functions her father invited her to attend. It wasn’t until he’d returned to Earth to take a posting that she began to develop a relationship with him, one that quickly went from acquaintances, to friends, to a couple. |
