Mirae Seo

Se-Ha Seo, also known as Mirae Seo (‎서미래, Seo Mirae), is one of the main characters of Odd Girl Out and is currently a second-year student at C.H. High. Even though she appears to be cheerful, she actually has low self-esteem and has been taking antidepressants for years until recently due to her hateful past.

Appearance
Mirae is biracial, being half German-half Korean, making her stand out. She is known to be very beautiful and tall, with long legs and arms. Mirae's natural hair color is a somewhat dirty-blonde, but she dyed her hair blonde later on. When she was a child, her hair was quite short, though she then grew her hair out. From Chapters 1-112, her hair was tied in a ponytail, but in Chapter 113, we see that Mirae cuts her hair short once again.

Personality
Mirae appears to be cheerful and happy-go-lucky but she actually has a hard time bonding with people because of her past. With her friends,Seonji, Nari, Yuna, and Wookyung standing by her side, she becomes more confident in herself.

When she was a child, Mirae was very straightforward and unintentionally rude, which the other students overlooked, making her not realize how her awful personality really was. Mirae was a child model, something that her mother was proud of and boasted about a lot, and treated her harshly. Mirae also took acting lessons courses in a place called "Rainbow Academy" and was noticed by a malicious producer by the name of Shin and was enrolled a bit forcibly because Mirae's mother seemed to be happy about her accomplishments so Mirae went along with it. Her role was to play a part of a TV series "Children's Village". Earlier mentioned she had a bit of a rude personality, which was showed in the TV series. Producer Shin took advantage of that and put her being rude to the other cast members and etc. due to that the episodes in which Mirae was misbehaving/rude, the number of views would spike. She found the Internet viciously insulting and cursing her, which made her depressed and refusing to open up to others believing they would hurt her.

History
Mirae went by Se-Ha in elementary school. She was always popular and had many friends. However, she was very brutally honest about things and often hurt others' feelings without intending to, such as double-booking herself a lot and cancelling plans with her friends often. She went to an acting academy called Rainbow Academy, which Yuna Lim also attended. She was a talented actor, and was accepted to star in a reality tv show called "Children Village" set in a farm. At first, she disliked it there and was very outspoken and blunt, often giving her honest but harsh opinion to all the other child actors. When the first episode was aired, everyone saw Se-Ha as a selfish and cold-hearted person due to the producer's sensationalization and she instantly became disliked by the internet.

Se-Ha came to a realisation about how mean she was acting after having a talk with Wookyung Jung and in the next shooting, she tried her best to be as nice as possible. However, when the next episode aired, she realized that the producers had edited the scenes to only show all the negative things she had done once again, which attracted even more criticism online. She became a target of online bullying by viewers of the show, and even had a hate website and anti-fan cafe made about her by her own classmates. She eventually ended up quitting the show, and stopped acting and going to school because of the bullying.

Se-Ha quit her acting classes at the Rainbow Academy around the same time that Yuna was planning to. Seeing Yuna as similar to herself, and being bitter due to her terrible experience with those she thought were her friends, Se-Ha bluntly told Yuna that she should quit acting, as she thought Yuna would attract criticism in the same way she did. Yuna took offense at this, as she did not see herself as similar to Se-Ha, and proved to Se-Ha that the difference between them is that Yuna had a true friend, Nari Oh. Se-Ha was surprised to realize that this is true, commenting that Yuna is "lucky" as they left.

Despite their rocky start, Yuna was the only person who Se-Ha relied on in the years after she quit acting. On the times when she was feeling her lowest, she would ask Yuna to meet up with her and they would sit together, mostly without talking much, other than throwing insults. Despite this, after their meet-ups, Se-Ha still felt better. In all the time they had their meet-ups, there was only one time that Yuna called Se-Ha to sit with her, instead of the other way around.

Se-Ha had a difficult relationship with her mother after she quit acting. She was mostly home-schooled since that incident, but decided to go to the same high school as Yuna before starting high school. She decided to make a fresh start with high school, changing her name to Mirae Seo, and also becoming friends with Nari Oh.

Yuna Lim
Mirae, who was going by Se-Ha at the time, first met Yuna at an acting school named Rainbow Academy. They mostly insulted each other, developing an interesting friendship. When Mirae hit rock bottom, she stopped going to school and socialising and/or interacting with anyone from the outside world, apart from Yuna. They met up every now and then, still throwing insults at each other, but Mirae also admitted as Yuna was getting up to leave after being insulted, that she didn't want her to go. When Yuna started going to high school, Mirae decided that she was going to go to the same school as her.

Trivia

 * Mirae is noted to be loud and frequently posts .gif files in the group chat by Nari, though she considers this superficial.
