IC SECTION Characters Name: Dolores Kubo Age: 35 Why do you want to be a part of the team?: Living on my own as a teen and fending for myself left me in many unfortunate situations. At the age of 18, I found myself a teen mother with zero direction in life. I do love my children with all my heart, however this circumstance was very preventable. If at that age, so young and niave, I simply had someone older and wiser to look out for me I most definitely would have a different present. I see the streets of Seoul and they mirror those I aimlessly wandered as a young girl. Hard, cold, and full of gang violence. Adolescence is something that should be cultivated and protected. Being a teen is such a unique and fragile stepping stone into adulthood. There are lives lost in the streets of this city; day by day. Children having children. Toting knives and symbols for a gang that they are nothing but a number to. I do not want these students to look back as I have and think, "What if?" I cannot watch helplessly at the bruises that phase off and onto their young faces. I refuse to be a bystander of someone's daughter or son's downfall. It brings my mind back to my own mother, another failed by the educational system. A teen mother with no choice but to give up her children. My brother, Jonathan, a once young boy just a statistic in the school-to-prison pipeline. Now he is a man, toungeless, behind bars, and unable to ask the question of, "What if?" If he could, would anyone care? Who is there to listen to these stories. Are they too heartbreaking to bare? Traveling across the globe has taught me that each story that reflects mine, my brother's, my mother's can leave you feeling hopeless. The generational trauma that I've heard again and again. Whether from an older woman in Vietnam or a fugitive in Argentina, they are all one voice. A voice pleading for someone to listen. The voice sounds to me like a young, adolescent person looking for a change. Looking for direction; a reason to live. I hope to be that change in the students of Seoul. Not everyone has an interest in culture or geography, but that is what pulled me from the streets and into the books. Learning is love and these teens need a love of learning. I have a strong love of teaching. As a mother, I value a good education. Every student deserves a chance. It just takes an adult to give them that chance. I do not want my life of traveling, experiencing other cultures, and seeing the world to be a waste. These stories deserve to be told. They deserve to be inspiring. They deserve to more than a tragedy. If I am accepted to be a World History teacher, I will make the academic and emotional success of each and every one of my students not only a professional, but a personal must. I am fluent in Spanish being an immigrant from Spain. In addition to my role as a teacher, I have no problem offering tutoring sessions on the language during my free time. An old South African blacksmith once told onto me, "The time we waste today is the tomorrow yesterday's dead were so eager to see." The time is now. It is up to the adults of this community to make the most positive impact we can and I hope to do so if I am blessed with a role as teacher at this school. Characters backstory (100 words or more): Dolores Luz Kirk came crying from the womb in San Sebastián, Spain. However, she wasn't the only one as her twin brother, Jonathan Luz Kirk, had come right before her. The year was 1987. Dolores and Jon's parents were from Brazil, on a vacation when the twins came out prematurely. Due to their unexpected arrival, the mother, Martina, was forced to stay in the country until they were in good enough health to travel back home. Their father, Angelo, had no choice to head home due to their lack of funds. Now, Martina was already a very religious woman. She grew up in a Catholic home and devoted her entire being to who she considered her savior. While in distress about her husband's absence, her sudden birth, and the ache her body felt at the emergency C-section, Martina was approached by a nun from the local church. The nun told the young woman about how her pregnancy difficulties were all due to her straying from the lord. To say the least, Martina was cursed! Any reasonable person would not believe this, right? Martina was not reasonable, however. A weight that had been weighing heavily on her shoulders was the fact that the twins were born and conceived out of wedlock. Dolores and Jonathan's father was not her husband. This is sinful in the catholic religion. Tears filled her eyes as she begged in the little bit of Spanish she knew to the nun for a fix. The nun informed her that to save herself and her unholy children from damnation she must offer her daughter up to the covenant to be raised by the nuns to serve the lord and raise her son to be a respectable priest as women are not to preach in the Catholic religion. Martina could not believe her ears and demanded that the nun left. The next several weeks, the nun kept visiting again and again. Martina's will was broken down and alas once Dolores was old enough to function without constant watch of hospital staff, she was given up to the church. As Dolores grew older, she did not know much about her mother nor father. Dolores very much enjoyed being surrounded by other women and girls. She felt she had a purpose in the church. There was nothing that could sway her away from her lord. The sisterhood kept her balanced. However, as she neared her 18th birthday she couldn't help but stare longingly out the window. Watching the movie 'Mean Girls', which had come out a year prior, really fueled her dreams for a life outside of the covenant. She wasn't supposed to be watching it. It was full of lust, greed, vanity. All these things she had been told to reject. Yet, it felt like something she was meant to be apart of. She didn't attend high school. The nuns were homeschooled and tutored. She never had experienced a romantic relationship. Her only relationship was to be with the lord. She had never gone shopping, done her makeup, gossiped about who was doing what and who, said a swear word. Feeling, knowing deep inside that her life was wasting away behind those old, biblical walls she began writing. She wrote at any moment she could a plan to escape. She still couldn't resist the strong desire she had to worship and serve her lord. As autumn approached she was getting ready to head to Japan on a mission trip with some of her nun sisters. Her heart wouldn't stop thrashing against her ribcage as she get off her very first plane and road in her very first foreign boat. Dolores' heart beat even faster as she dashed away through the night, nun uniform raised over he knees to a train. Her escape. She couldn't help but sob on the entire ride, feeling nothing but a sinner. Dolores continued to live as an illegal immigrant in Japan. Dear to her heart and helping her push forward was her faith in her lord and the adventure around the corner. Dolores was undoubtedly an adrenaline junkie, but that did not cease the gnaw of hunger in her stomach. All of Dolores' sheltered education and upbringing did not prove useful in the streets of Japan. She found herself in various dangerous situations. Her innocence began to wear and her mental health took a terrible tole from the things she witnessed. Days seemed like they could be her last and happiness was short-lived. Staying in a home for troubled teen girls, she started to feel some sense of stability. However, the routines and sisterhood like nature of the home reminded her of the nun covenant and that made her uneasy. A week before she planned on leaving, Dolores received a letter. It was from a boy her exact age, Jonathan Luz Kirk. Jonathan told her of his mother's confession before he had come to study abroad in Japan. He has a twin sister and her name was . . Dolores. From that day on he had been working his hardest to find her and now after questioning the people in her life, reading a missing person's report, and hearing of the strange girl who only spoke Spanish a few cities over, he knew he had found his other half. Dolores was absolutely dumbfounded. Still as naive as ever, she began corresponding with Jonathan via letter. Her plans changed and she stayed at the group home for an extended time as she had a new destination: Jonathan's school in Karakura, Japan. Fleeing yet again the middle of the night by train she arrived to the city. Dolores was reunited with her brother, sobbing uncontrollable tears of happiness. Her view of the world looked up. Yes, the girl still struggled, especially in learning the Japanese language, but this was the happy ending. Right? Wrong. Not even 6 months after her arrival in Karakura was Dolores pregnant and madly "in love." Whatever the sheltered and very niave girl knew love to be. Due to her religious beliefs she did not consider abortion. She could not see herself giving up her baby neither, though. Dolores happily married her baby's father, Saburo Kubo. She knew she had to buckle down now as a young mother. She began taking her studies seriously. She studied so hard and long and late into the night that the local hospital put her on bed rest in fear of miscarriage. Her eldest son, Eun Kubo, came later in the year of 2005. Luckily Dolores had a lot of friends who watched her son as she continued to work toward a better future for herself and her young family. Dolores, now Kubo instead of Luz Kirk, graduates in the year of 2006 by the skin of her teeth. However, this also came with less exciting news. The now 19 year old was pregnant again! Still, she knew now more than ever her and her husband Saburo had to give it their all. 4 years and another pregnancy later, Dolores had a bachelor's in Social Studies from the local college she attended. Her brother Jonathan had long strayed from her. Their relationship was hostile as he sat in prison for murdering another person. Her Catholic faith made it hard to forgive him. Dolores' relationship with her husband was top tier, though. How he supported his family was far from legal, but he did what it took to survive. Doing what it took to survive was something that became reoccurring in Dolores' life. As she was still illegally living in the country of Japan, many times she had to uproot her family and move them from country to country to keep from being deported to Spain and jailed. Smuggling from Japan to China to Laos to Thailand and generally all over Asia for half a decade sometimes alone made her again see the world in a new light. The fear of being caught scared her. Times separated from her children will never leave her mind. Sometimes she had to leave then in a group home or with their father back in Japan as he was legal. It disturbed her mental peace greatly and left her feeling a bad mother. The family could not safely rest in one place until Saburo had worked out the kinks in his citizenship of South Korea and getting his wife and children a citizenship. Peace was granted for the Kubo family finally in 2018 when they were allowed visas and permanent residence in the country of South Korea. Dolores, also becoming a citizen of the country, was granted a passport and continued to explore the world when she wasn't busy being a mother. Money came easily to the family as they owned a train of restaurants in Gangnam, Korea. That was until early 2022 a fire broke out, destroying their family empire and forcing them to relocate to Seoul, Korea. This is where Dolores lives now, 35, with her husband and four children. As her children grow older to the age of her past mistakes and money is thin, she has taken on a goal of becoming a teacher and helping the youth around her avoid the path she naively stumbled down in the past. What does your character specialize in?: Dolores Kubo specializes in Social Studies. She has a bachelor's in the major. She also specializes in the Spanish Language. Therefore, she is applying to be a World History/Social Studies teacher. Do you have any questions?: Is school mandatory for students?

IGN(In Game Name): m0neyhorny (Dolores Kubo) What Language are you applying for?: Spanish How did your character learn the language? (100+ Characters): Dolores didn't talk much as a young child. Well, more like at all. Being abandoned to a nun covenant at only a month old, she was raised to believe she should be quiet and speak when spoken to. The woman, a lower leveled nun in the sisterhood, who raised Dolores spoke a lot though. However, Dolores noticed that she didn't talk like the other Spanish nuns around them. She spoke Italian. As toddler Dolores watched her caretaker work she always heard the songs she sang. The italian hymns she hummed as she cooked, cleaned, washed, and prayed. The woman was not at all fluent in Spanish. Dolores' first word was in Italian due to this. And her second and third and so on. As Dolores got older she did not stray from that sanction of the church. The italian speaking sanction. She sang the same songs and hummed the same hymns as the italian nuns and other orphan girls around her. Dolores' first interaction with the Spanish language was a tough one. She was aged 9. The girl needed to write a speech dedicated to how and why she wanted to serve the Catholic lord that the nuns worshipped until death. This writing and performance of the speech was a big milestone for Dolores to progress in the church. The older women around her told Dolores of how they did struggled immensely with learning Spanish and the proper pronunciations and grammar of the language so they had been stuck in this phase of their nunhood. This put a lot of weight on Dolores' shoulders. The pressure to preform correctly felt immense. The girl began studying the Spanish language. Day and night, hour by hour. She felt as though she wasn't a little girl anymore as her playtime dwindled and her studies of the language became a top priority. Her caretaker studied with her. Well, Dolores remembers it more like her instilling the language into her. She was afraid to mess up in fear of having to kneel on rice write the words until bedtime. By the next seasonal change, the speech was to her like the pledge of allegiance is to an American. She mumbled it like a song. No, like the ten commandments. Those italian songs seemed like a waste of time and foolish now. The time of the speech was coming. However, Dolores really only knew how to introduce herself and present the speech in Spanish. The girl still wasn't fluent and she found herself on her knees of the little italian sanction praying to her lord to make her magically learn Spanish. It didn't happen of course, however the speech went off like a hitch and Dolores was being transferred to a new church and a new sisterhood in a much bigger Spanish city. As much as she thought her old caretaker was hard on her, this new nun was even harsher. All Dolores did was pray and study pray and study pray and study. It seemed the woman had some unseated xenophobia against Italians, often telling Dolores off and punishing her for speaking the Italian language in place of the native Spanish one. Dolores tried her best, but Spanish was just not her calling. She could understand it, yes, but speaking it... Not so much. It would be another three years, her 12th birthday, that Dolores was finally fluent in Spanish and able to continue propelling in the network of nun sisterhood in Spain. How does this benefit your character's roleplay?: This benefits roleplaying as Dolores because she is an immigrant from Spain, so it would only make sense for her to be fluent in the native language of that country. In addition, Dolores is Catholic and there is a lot of base in that religion in Spain and the spanish language. Dolores still struggles with the Korean language, so it would be interesting in roleplay for her to speak Spanish when experiencing strong emotions or when she is unable to describe something in Korean. Also, her household with her husband is multi-cultural as he is Korean and she is Afro-spaniard it would explain why their children are fluent in the language. In the future possibily I would like my character to be a cultural teacher or maybe a Spanish Foreign language teacher, so she would have to be fluent in Spanish to do so.

Jonathan tried to warn her, but she distanced herself from him; Eventually cutting her brother from her life and moving to Seoul, Korea with her no-good, broke husband and her snotty-nosed kids at age 35, year 2022. She was happier than ever, though.
