Describe your activity on the server:
Though I am relatively new to SRP, I’ve dabbled in roleplaying before. I find that the structure of SRP has allowed me to pertain to various creative possibilities. In my time on SRP, I’ve found my way into joining its high school cheer team, which takes up most of my time on the server. Often I’ll have my character idle throughout various parts of the map, ready to interact with others. I genuinely enjoy talking with others the most. I’m relatively active; I get online at least four-five times weekly, hours later on at night. I spend most of my time on the server roleplaying and hanging out with the friends I’ve made. In addition to being involved in a team, I’ve been employed at Euphoria for a few months. I work as an artist, and I find it highly gratifying to illustrate the characters of those within the community; the reaction to my artwork makes me want to continue commissions! I am pretty active on discord as well and am constantly available.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
What position are you applying for?:
I am applying for Lawyer.
What is your motivation for applying?:
Since I'm interested in law, the position of Lawyer would allow for a new means of learning about the judicial system and legal practices since it is something I'm passionate about. Plus, I've been told I'd make a good lawyer; it's been a longstanding ambition. I'm passionate about civil duties, and being a lawyer in-game could be a fun recreational activity to continue involving myself in. I've always been motivated to help others and leave a lasting impression. This position will be fun, creating unique solutions and preserving through the different situations that may arise. Despite being content with my current roleplay experience on SRP, it'll be an excellent opportunity to remain interested and try something new. Another primary reason for my application is to develop my main character's backstory. I plan to make her the mother of my friend and I's OCs, a Lawyer; doing so would further enrich the lore and backstory of the family we've created. My friends and I share the goal of growing our family tree within the server, and introducing this character as a Lawyer will be an initial step toward that goal since it'd tie some of the themes we've thought about together!
Do you have an understanding of Karakura’s laws & Constitutional rights?:
I have a moderate understanding of Karakura’s laws and Constitutional rights. I’ve made sure to look over and study them to the best of my ability. I definitely think I’d need more hands-on experience in order to fully grasp the concept. However, I’ve been making sure to regularly check and update myself on the subject.
Are there any goals for you or your character with this role?:
In addition to the motivation previously stated, I also want to improve my writing and role-playing ability. This can include a wide range of areas, such as enhancing my overall writing style and refining my ability to craft detailed and descriptive responses.
As for my goals for Hye-Jin, her position as a lawyer will act to push her to new limits and to better balance the demands of her work and family life. She recognizes the unique challenges that come with being a working parent but sees her legal career as an opportunity to rise to these challenges and emerge as a stronger person. I'd like for her career to influence her approach to parenting. It’ll give her a greater sense of authority and confidence in guiding and disciplining her children. If Hye-Jin were to be a lawyer, it’d tie in nicely with the tragedy of her husband's murder, which has forced Hye-Jin to take on the role of sole provider and caregiver for her family. Her determination to be a successful lawyer would not only provide her with financial stability but also serves as a source of inspiration and motivation in the face of this personal tragedy. I envision her as deeply dedicated to her children and willing to put in the time and effort necessary to provide them with a secure and nurturing environment.

Work experience:
She reached to her side, taking her briefcase. As she opened it Hye-Jin drew her thumb over the various files, withdrawing her resume before sliding the paper over.
“Before my university days, I found myself working part-time at a multitude of minimum-wage establishments. Despite being nowhere near as demanding as working at a Law firm, these jobs helped me learn how to function better in settings where I needed to be a leader and part of a team. Which I believe to be vital attributes to have in court. While studying law, I worked as an Intern at Nishimura & Asahi, coming in periodically during the summer season to attend client meetings and court proceedings to observe experienced attorneys in action. During my internship, I can recall assisting with legal investigations and drafting legal documents, including motions and pleadings. It was an insightful experience and was absolutely crucial to my development as a lawyer.”

Since I had already built a strong relationship there during my internships, I was accepted to continue my career. There I obtained expertise in different areas of law, including civil cases and corporate law. As an associate lawyer, I became proficient in representing clients in court and arranging settlements on their behalf. I thank the attorneys who permitted me to work alongside them. They held high expectations for me to achieve. As a relatively stubborn person, I wasn’t going to allow myself to somehow be underneath their standard. I pushed myself to be up to par with those I shadowed. As I became more experienced, I moved on to take on more challenging cases, including complex commercial disputes and white-collar criminal trials.”

Political background:
Hye-Jin leisurely drummed her nails against her thigh.
“. . . I’d like to mention that I’m an advocate for women in the judicial scene. I find it crucial to highlight how male-dominated the field is. Though generally, I don’t concern myself much with politics other than the occasional news article here and there, I like to stay informed. I prefer to remain politically neutral to serve my clients fairly.”

“I’m fluent in Korean and obtained fluency in Japanese after a few years of rigorous studying. “
Criminal record:
“Tidy, as It should be.”
What makes you a good candidate for this job?
Hye-Jins's voice's cadence was steady, reflecting the dignified outlook she harbored toward her efforts.
"My firsthand experiences with crime and its devastating impact on loved ones have given me a profound understanding of the real-life consequences of criminal activity, allowing me to approach each case with a compassionate and realistic perspective. I stand apart from others in the field who may view clients as mere paychecks and neglect the importance of empathy in the Lawyer-client relationship.

My versatility and adaptability are vital assets that have contributed to my success in the past, and I am confident that they will continue to serve me well in the future.”
An even smile found itself on her visage.
“Thank you for having me.”
Hye-Jin rose from her seat as she simultaneously dipped her head down in a fluid motion.
She’d proceed to take her leave.
