History:
Yeun-ja Nguyen was born in South Korea, her parents were killed during a car bombing in Korea. She
spent most of her childhood moving from orphanage to orphanage, though when her powers manifested
she was picked up by her government to find out if she had an useful powers. Nothing was ever found
and to this day she can't do anything powerwise, beyond her hair and eyes being solid purple. She went to
college on an exchange program due to her exceptional grades.
Eventually she received American citizenship and graduated from the University of California Los Angeles
with a degree in political science and a minor in secondary education. She went on to apply for graduate
school and eventually she worked her way into getting her doctorate in political science. She applied for
many jobs with her degree, but had trouble finding one. Eventually she was given one by Jean Grey, at
the Grey Institute. When the mansion was destroyed, she found herself once again with a job. She moved
to Puyallup, Washington when offered a low paying teaching job far below her skill and talent level.
She found she had been discriminated against multiple times in her life for being a mutant and having her
Korean accent. Two things that frustrated her to no end, eventually she got a call from Aisha, offering her
a job back at the school. She took it and was pleased to be teaching again in a place she felt accepted,
even if only at a high school level, at least here people didn't stare.
Personality: Serious and quiet, she is interested in security and peaceful living. Extremely thorough,
responsible, and dependable. She is well-organized and hard working, and she works steadily towards
identified goals. Yeun can usually accomplish any task once she has set her mind to it and tends to expect
the same from her students. She is considered one of the more strict teachers at the school.
