Seonji Lim

Seonji Lim (임선지, Lim Seonji) is one of the main characters of Odd Girl Out and is currently a second-year student at C.H. High. She is very sweet and selfless, despite being unintelligent.

Background
Seonji was living with her father when she was young, and her mother appears to have left her behind. Because she was poorly taken care of by her parents, Seonji had a very rough childhood. She was thin and often hungry, did not go to see doctors often, and did not have money for necessary class materials such as notebooks. Her classmates shunned her because of her dirty clothes and her face which was covered with rashes. The only person who was kind to her was the class president, Yeseul, who felt sorry for Seonji's living circumstances. At the end of elementary school, Seonji's grandmother came to take her away from her neglectful father. Living with her grandmother, Seonji started eating well, and finally went to see a doctor. She gained some weight, her skin rash cleared up with ointments, and became healthy and pretty.

When Seonji started middle school, she was almost unrecognizable from before. Boys paid more attention to her, and the popular girls in class wanted to hang out with her. But despite her popularity, she soon became an outcast again, due to the envy of other girls in her class.

She developed a close friendship with a Yeseul, who was the only person to be kind to her before her transformation. However, Yeseul started to resent the attention that Seonji was receiving from others due to her looks. Yeseul orchestrated a scenario to make it appear as though Seonji stole her boyfriend, although the boy in question never went out with Yeseul in the first place. Even though Seonji had a chance to clear her name, she willingly took the fall for Yeseul, as she didn't want someone else to suffer because of her. However, as a result of this, Seonji became a pariah again in school, and would continue to be excluded from the other girls' groups throughout middle school. She only got a chance to start over again on the first day of high school, when Nari Oh reached out to her.

Seonji eventually got a part-time job at Tortoise Bakery, a family-run store owned by Nari's family. Through this, she discovered her passion, and her aim in life, which is to become a first-class baker.

Appearance
Short and petite, Seonji has long, dark, straight hair which she ties into pigtails. She has very pale skin and pink lips. She is considered to be very pretty and to have great genes.

Personality
Having an IQ of 94, Seonji isn't very smart. She is sweet and caring, but a bit too selfless and gullible. She had a hard time having to deal with bullies in middle school but never stood up for herself. She treasures her friends very much because they're the only ones she ever had.

Despite her sweet exterior, Seonji can, on occasion, be very threatening, though it only manifests when she is trying to protect her friends from others. She is also noted to have strange taste in fashion, preferring cartoony and childish items. She still wears her hair in pigtails, as her grandmother thinks it is the prettiest.
