Tara Seong
Name: Tara Seong (Hye Yoon Seong)
Age: 24
Hometown: Brooklyn, NY
Occupation: Musician & Part Time Bartender (6 months at Quinn's)
Picture: Tara
Personality: At 5 ft 2 and a half inches, Tara’s petite frame gains a bit of height when she wears her favorite 4 inch heeled leather boots. Don’t let her elfin features and slim build fool you. She’s a tough cookie. Extremely independent, observant and blunt, Tara will quickly dissuade anyone that she’s helpless, short or an airhead. Generally polite and easy going, Tara’s quiet questions draw people out and easily encourages them to talk—about anything. Due to her straight forward nature, she doesn’t share her opinions freely but, when asked, she makes a blunt assessment that may not be entirely comfortable. She smiles easily but rarely laughs out loud. When she does, you can hear her clear, riotous laughter from across the room. Her sense of humor is odd and ranges from the silly to wry sarcasm.
Tara doesn’t give her trust easily but when she does, you have it completely. She’s smart, quick to learn, self contained and calm in the middle of crisis. You won’t ever see her fall apart in public. Either too stubborn or prideful to let anyone see her be weak. Sincerity will always reach her faster than a glib lie. She can’t stand liars or cruelly manipulative people. She doesn’t believe the world needs more people being assholes just because it’s easier to be mean than kind. She’s her worst critic and will push herself past her limits until she falls flat on her face. Tara doesn’t know how to take compliments. She turns them all into a joke or shrugs it off. She’s really bad at asking for help and, when she does, she feels honor bound to do something in return.
As a bartender, Tara enjoys creating interesting mixed drinks to match the needs of each individual customer. She’s known for making drinks that fits the person’s mood or personality. If she really likes you, you may also get origami made out of a napkin with your drink.
A whole different side comes to light when Tara performs. It’s like she opens up a door to a feeling or story that clearly shines when she plays or sings. Performing is where she shares the heart of everything: emotions, thoughts, hopes and dreams. It all comes out one note at a time. Saying more than words if you know how to pay attention.
History: Tara’s real name is Hye Yoon Seong but she hates it when people mispronounce it, and she doesn’t want to be judged by her ethnicity. She goes by Tara in public and only close friends call her Hye Yoon.
Her love of music started before she could walk. Tara’s Mom loved musicians. She loved live music and the way music could make her feel. Everything about musicians was more intense, passionate and often short lived. Tara’s dad was a talented classical pianist who loved to play all genres of music. He died in a terrible car accident while on tour with an off Broadway show when she was nine. There were two lean years of living in poor conditions before Tara’s Mom started to date again. Except her Mom kept having short termed, monogamous relationships with musicians who traveled. Before her Mom married Sam and they settled in Brooklyn, Tara has lived in every major city up and down the east coast and countless minor ones that no one has ever heard of. Sam wasn’t a musician but he was a music lover. He didn’t try to be Tara’s new dad. He simply showed her that he was dependable and that he cared. He shared the love of music with the two of them and encouraged Tara’s dreams to perform.
Tara has been playing piano before she could walk. She picked up guitar when she was 11, started bass when she was 12 and began playing violin when they moved to Brooklyn when she was 15. Tara has been performing and playing with other musicians all of her life and started to do it professionally at once she turned 17. Due to all the traveling in her life, Tara is at home anywhere. She feels at home in a bar as she does in a house. As much as she loves her Mom, she grew up being the responsible one and taking care of things when her Mom was caught up in life’s drama. Someone had to make sure that there was money for bills, food, travel or simply a bed to sleep in. Sam is the one who brought stability to their lives. He’s the one who sat Tara down and asked her if she wanted to go to school. He’s the one who helped her home study, get her GED and helped to make arrangements for her to take college courses. Tara actually invested time into getting an Associate Degree in Business and certification in music composition. Music has always been her dream and goal.
While in her heart of hearts, Tara dreams of love and romance. In reality, she’s watched her Mom go through too many relationships and wary of letting anyone in. Twice, she became involved in a relationship and both were not what she expected or needed in the end.
Seeking to make a fresh start, Tara came out to Seattle. New places, new people, new job and new opportunities. For Tara, her new life begins at Quinn’s. It's been half a year since she moved into town and started work at the bar. She's become a regular face at the bar as an employee and musical entertainment. So far, Tara has only been able to play the piano as live entertainment during the afternoon and some evenings. No one has heard Tara sing yet.

The Church
My brain can go in overactive dream mode and I created the Church (That's what it's going to be called until someone else comes up with a fun name! =P) for Tara to live in. So, Tara bought a house that is a renovated church and she's going to be smart and rent out the other rooms to save money.
Bare Bones Description of the Church:
Almost half a century ago, a well to do artist bought a rundown, abandoned church and renovated it into an interesting home. The original stained glass windows were kept in tack. Otherwise, the interior was mostly redesigned and rebuilt. The building was small for a church but rather large for a house. The basic layout is a single floor with a large basement and a bi-level apartment in the back where the pastor and family used to lived. There's a small front & backyard.
(More can be added if people think of something cool.)
Main Floor: Office/Library, hallway half bath, loft overlooking living room + Tara's master bedroom suite w/ full bathroom, living room, large kitchen + dining room, bedroom w/ half bath + shower.
Bi-Level Apartment in back:
Bottom Floor - Tiny Kitchen, Sitting Room (3 doors: goes outside, into living room & into kitchen)
Top Floor - One bedroom, tiny room/study, bathroom
Basement: Practice room and bedroom w/ half bath + shower
The basement has three entrances, two from inside the Church and one that leads out to the side yard.
Bell Tower: Accessible from foyer, curling stairway leads up to bell tower.
The Church
Six brick covered steps lead up to the shadowed building with a simple porch light that lite the front doors of the old stone church and cast a warm welcoming to turn away the night. There are two large and ornately carved wooden double doors set in the tower to welcome people. Only the set on the right worked. Through the doors, there is an small foyer with three doors. The door to the left goes up to the bell tower, the main archway leads into the house, the first door to the right takes a downward turn to the basement and the other door opens up to a coat closet.
The archway opens up to a hallway that leads to the living room. There are two doors set on the left, one door on the right and a double archway with half swinging doors. On the left, the office takes up the first room with a mahogany desk, office chair and built in shelves in the surrounding walls. A quirky wooden frog sign named what hid behind the second door, a cheerful half bath. Between the doors is a small staircase leading up to the loft that overlooks the living room and the Tara's master bedroom suite.
The swinging tan doors open in either direction and gives view to a huge open kitchen and dining room. It had the usual appliances, four breakfast counter stools and a long dining table that seats six. The closed door on the right is an empty bedroom suite.
The spacious living room sprawls open at the end of the hallway. Three large, beautiful stain glass windows fill up the far wall. Two benevolent and majestic angels framed a simple but enthralling sun shining down from the heavens. A stairway on the left leads up to the loft and the open space is given to an American Chickering baby grand piano. A lovingly restored classic wooden piano with burnished brown woods and lovingly carved adornments. A large flat screen tv took center stage of the living room with a stereo system on the right and a shelf of movies and music on the right. Two long and comfortable nut brown leather couches faced the entertainment center in side angles. Side tables made of different woods was on each end of the couches. On the right, a downward stairway dropped into the basement and the door opens up to the bi-level family rooms that the pastors used to live in.
