Hinata Gojo

Noeul Myeong is a young Korean girl of 14 who faced the cruel realities of life at an early age due to factors beyond her control. Born and raised in Joshin, Korea during the Japanese occupation, she came from a poor family that struggled daily to make ends meet. The economic burdens, combined with the harsh political climate of 1926, pushed Noeul to take the radical measure of training herself as a maid for the Japanese elite. Her motivation stems not only from personal ambition, but also out of necessity and love for her mother, grandfather, three sisters, and younger brother. Noeul isn't very smart, but she's not stupid either, she's more like average intelligence, but growing up quickly and living almost a street life while looking for money for her family has taught her to be quick-witted and perceptive. But beneath that shrewd surface hides a heart with warmth and kindness, traits that are often overshadowed by her cunning exterior, developed more as a survival mechanism than innate nature. She has witnessed injustice, cruelty, and malice, but does not let them harden her, instead it fuels her determination to secure a better future for herself and her family back home. Despite the fates stacked against her, Noeul harbors hopes of someday putting down roots in Japan where she can live without fear - a dream perhaps far beyond what seems achievable given the prevailing socio-political dynamics in that era. Her ability to fit seamlessly into a servile existence while maintaining a witty and lovable personality helps her survive and endure whatever is ahead of her, probably. Noeul is an ordinary girl who wants to survive and feed her family, she has no special talents other than a strong desire to live and adaptability to her surroundings, good at lying and the rudiments of manipulation. Noeul is a short 5'1" tall, typical of Korean girls her age, quite normal physically, but due to physical work in her homeland, a little stronger and tougher than the average girl, but weaker than an adult man. Her hair is deep black in color, straight and cut to shoulder length in an attempt to blend in with the Japanese style. Her eyes are dark brown, almost black, a common trait among Koreans. Her face is oval shaped with high cheekbones, her very appearance is ordinary, not pretty or ugly, could pass for Japanese. She has a small neat nose and thin lips. As for her body shape, Noelle is slender but well-proportioned for her age. She has small breasts that are usually hidden beneath the layers of traditional Japanese maid garb she wears. Her waist tapers to slightly wider hips which then transition into slender legs honed by years of hard work and physical labor, her stomach is flat, even severely flat due to starvation and work in her homeland. The traditional Japanese maid outfit she wears consists of a kimono-style top paired with hakama pants or sometimes even skirts depending on the occasion or preference of the household. The outfit is completed by white tabi socks and zōri sandals. There is also a second variant of working clothes - a maid in the usual French style, the uniform of the French maid includes a black and white dress with cutouts and bandeau top. It is also adorned with a small white apron. Noeul's skills and abilities are a mixture of what she learned from her grandfather and the practical knowledge she acquired during her time in Korea. Her grandfather, did his best to teach Noeul the duties and responsibilities of a Japanese maid. However, due to time constraints and their limited resources, the training was more theoretical than practical. She has a basic knowledge of cleaning, cooking, washing, sewing - all necessary skills for a maid. But her actual meager but develops as she learns on the job. She can cook simple meals but struggles with complex dishes, she can mend clothes but not sew them from scratch, she can clean rooms but not yet manage an entire household. Despite these limitations, Noeul has a thirst to learn and improve that sets her apart from others. She is quick to observe others and adopt new skills or techniques. In addition to these maid-specific skills, Noeul has other abilities as well, she is good at taking care of children of different ages, and can tell and make up stories and tales.

!!BACKSTORY Noeul!!: Noeul's grandfather, Joo-hwan, an accomplished architect in his youth, had spent many years in Japan and so had learned their language. Seeing an opportunity to improve Noeul's chances of survival and growth in these difficult times, he taught her everything he could - Japanese language, culture and Japanese maid culture - but writing and reading Noeul was failing and there was no time to teach. Joo-hwan also managed to fake a letter of recommendation on behalf of the illustrious Fujiwara family, one of the influential clans of the time. The letter stated that they were sending a trustworthy maid named Hinata Gojo (an alias for Noeul Myeong) to serve as a personal handmaiden for the child of Daimyō Akimitsu Nobunaga, an influential figure in the highest echelons of Japanese power. Though false in origin, this letter of recommendation was convincing enough to pique Daimyō Akimitsu Nobunaga's interest. He agreed to hire "Hinata" out of respect for the Fujiwara clan's reputation and perhaps because of the relatively low cost. Noeul set out for this job and new life, taking on the guise of "Hinata" from that point on. Although she knew it was dangerous, it was a necessary deception and a necessity for survival, she decided not just to commit to it but to enjoy the new opportunities open to her, leaving her family back home in Korea, her mother Eun Ae, younger sisters Hana(11 years old), Eun(7 years old), Mi Cha(4 years old) and younger brother Chul(6 years old), she will send 90% of the money back home secretly.

These quarters are modest but comfortable and not cramped, providing all the necessary amenities for those who serve the Nobunaga family. The estate employs a large number of servants, from cooks to gardeners to maids, each responsible for maintaining different aspects of the household. Despite their large numbers, there is a strict hierarchy among them based on seniority and job responsibilities.
