Appoline is a French girl who teaches Hapkido martial in NYC. Fast paced and clutter brained, she’s easy to get into new hobbies and already does things like fashion design and studying astronomy as a hobby. One thing that makes her memorable is her ability to combine her hobbies one way or another, her own hapkido uniform heavily embroidered by hand.

Appoline is a very involved person who likes to include others and cheer on their successes. She's patient with those around her, mostly because she's aware she is fast paced, and always looks for an opportunity to say something funny to lighten up others. She hasn't really had any sad experiences personally, having a good school life, home life, and an easy adulthood because her family was well off and supportive of anything. She makes an attempt to help others who feel down, but knows she can't relate to a lot of things because of her privileges. She's air headed outside of her work, where there are no distractions, always over ambitious in her free time. She's too excited by things that she starts and doesn't finish projects, always leaving things behind and making a mess in the end. Her brain is just full of clutter on its own.

Appoline grew up used to a fast paced lifestyle since she was little; the doted only child between her parents, a longtime inhabitant of the ebbing french coastal town, Nice. She always enjoyed it, running around, keeping busy, always engaged in something new. Her parents were incredibly active people that hated being understimulated, even resting, a trait that's naturally passed onto their ambitious and creative daughter. That's what she was recognized for growing up, a girl who would take on too many things at once, not quite overwhelmed by it, just a fan of dipping her toes in everything at least once is all.

To her, knowledge is more fun than it is power, never intending to be the best, just to enjoy in the moment. Her tastes span decades, genres, cultures, uncaring if it's through music, style, and other hobbies. As a student she lamented limits, that she ultimately couldn't take every language class for example, a strange but amusing classmate to have. Even college was an indecisive time for her, someone with too many interests at once, but she figured majors can change, degrees can even be collected throughout her adulthood if anything. Even so, one of her greater interests was the Hapkido she invested a lot of her childhood into.

One could compare her to a jellyfish that seamlessly floats through life, someone who goes along with the tides without a complaint. She's found herself as a hapkido instructor in New York City currently, her days not entirely repetitive if she's still diving into new things like international dishes, the arts, the culture of where she lives. A year from now, she can't imagine what knowledge she'll retain, even learn, but she looks forward to continuing her nomadic lifestyle.

"Viorel! When's your next show? You've gotta invite me, I'll absolutely make the time for it!" A close companion that Appoline met in her college days, at least while she was briefly invested in theatre. Her interest waned since she wasn't that good, but she still admired the way Viorel performed whether it was in a show or not. Nowadays they watch way more movies together than theatrical performances, and Appoline keeps insisting Viorel to star with other actors she likes just for autographs.

"Xione, I don't think you've gotten any taller, but your hair looks even longer than before. Here, I'll cut it for you! Huh-- you don't want the same as mine? Aw... " Friends that met through Viorel first, yet he wasn't needed for them to bond over all kinds of niche interests. In fact, Xione understands Appoline isn't as familiar with sharks, but loves having the opportunity to spout every fact they know to someone who loves to listen for hours. Viorel knows they've just hung out if Appoline asks him if he knows crtain facts that Xione has already told Viorel a million times before.

"Keep it up, Eithne! These days you look more light on your feet. Dancing? I'll try it out myself if it makes your balance that good." Appoline is Eithne's Hapkido teacher, not her first, so she's mostly just making sure that Eithne maintains the skills she learned over the years. Both are very casual, sort of like a big and little sister, and are used to accidentally hurting the other during practice. Sometimes Eithne suspects Appoline looks forward to injuries just to buy sherbert next door as an apology...just to get some herself and slack off.
