Born in South Korea and adopted at birth by a white couple, she grows up in a rural community with few Asian neighbors. People whisper in the supermarket. Classmates bully her. She struggles to contain her anger in these moments--but through it all, she has her art. A compulsive drawer from childhood, she fills page after page with what she can't say out loud. When she discovers anime, her hobby deepens into obsession, offering escape and identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThough drawing and cosplay give her a way to step outside her reality, connection remains elusive. As she enters high school, the bullying intensifies--louder, meaner, more isolating than ever.
