𝒊 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒃𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 —

𝒔𝒚𝒏𝒐𝒑𝒔𝒊𝒔 bubbling boba is empty, and moka clings onto alani. 𝒇𝒐𝒓 @mk-hotarualani ♡

the weather outside is beginning to grow colder. even though moka wants to say that she’d gotten used to the frequent weather changes of jeju-do, she feels a familiar kind of heaviness seep into her bones: one that reserves itself for the end of the year, one that lingers within her soul. moka assumes that the cold weather leaves customers on campus deciding on a drink that warms them up, so naturally, the store is a lot quieter.

the change of the season leaves her shifts uneventful. usually, moka would be behind the counter, shaking up tea for an order and laughing along with her coworker’s words to pass the time, but now, the coworker in question had excused themself early to catch up with missing work before the upcoming exams, so moka’s alone to handle the responsibilities that are left. opting to not get lost in downright boredom, she eventually decides to do some light cleaning.

moka grabs a tablecloth and moves towards the few tables that are in the store. just as the fabric meets the table’s surface, the resonant chime of a bell echoes throughout the space, signaling an entrance of a customer. she looks up to them, and before she can quickly slide back behind the counter, there’s a glimmer of recognition in her eyes, and a smile tugs at the corners of moka’s mouth. her arm searches the figure’s – alani’s – to intertwine them, to keep each other warm. it’s probably not necessary, yet it feels like it is. it feels warm in all the ways that aren’t suffocating, safe yet skirting on the cusp of danger.

“hotaru,” moka greets her in her mother tongue, pulling the other closer. “it’s very nice of you to surprise me today.” she continues, soft. it’s somewhat awkward, because she’s never been one to show affection so outwardly, but she’s sure that alani knows that both her words and actions are genuine.

𝒔𝒚𝒏𝒐𝒑𝒔𝒊𝒔 moka cools down with lucia. 𝒇𝒐𝒓 @luciaxmk ♡

moka’s ego is both lifted up high and in jeopardy due to a tennis match she’d just lost. it’s a new sport for her, and while the people around her reassured her that she’s good for a beginner, moka still thinks that it’s kinda embarrassing to… kind of suck around actual good players as well as be under such watchful eyes. an arm is draped over her head, and she’s stretching as she finishes, catlike, yet without the elegance.

moka was used to sports that relied on her body adjusting to other people’s; relied on their soft contact before her own showcase of actual power. however, the strength and skill required for tennis was the more individualistic kind. even though there were team games, you couldn’t just expect other people to help you, or pass it to you. there’s a confidence in each movement that needed to be upheld. sometimes, moka thought that she lacked the patience needed for tennis, never even thought about it altogether, but lucia came along. she’d acted sulky to the senior regarding volleyball club a month ago, and an introduction to this sport was what she’d gotten in return.

she finishes the stretching routine that has become a habit after every volleyball game and precariously staggers along the tennis court, eventually sitting down onto a wooden bench that looks over it, her movements more stumble than intentional. “oh my god,” she breathes out, running a hand through her hair. moka adjusts herself when she sees lucia beside her, leaning towards the girl whose space she’d just taken storm of. “i feel like i’m just gonna knock out people, left and right. i don’t know how you’re good at everything,” she pauses, if only to gulp down more air, eyes falling upon the water bottle that’s on the bench.

right. she forgot her water bottle today.

“you know, i live by this, um, motto, right? it’s uh, sharing is caring, i really do believe in it, and i’m also soooo thirsty right now—”

𝒔𝒚𝒏𝒐𝒑𝒔𝒊𝒔 moka ends a closing shift with jonathan. 𝒇𝒐𝒓 @jonathanxmk ♡

moka’s days are a series of happenings in which she gets easily lost.

even though it’s only been a month since classes resumed again, she already feels as if she’s two weeks of work behind on the summoning and casting class. she’d always been better at the “remembering” classes than the “doing” classes, so she definitely has to ask somebody to help her with that. it’s all work for later, anyways. even more than that, the customers at bubbling boba today were being particularly harsh. one cursed her after they told her that she made milk tea instead of the jasmine tea that they’d ordered (moka was pretty sure they ordered milk tea…), another was persistent with asking for a discount, and the third just seemed to have a bad day.

she manages, though, for the most part. after adjusting for a bit, moka finds it harder to get overwhelmed. her emotions aren’t intense to the point where she can’t control how her body reacts anymore. the only thing that’s left on her mind on days like these is going back to the dorms and doing something that she actually likes. it’s evening now, and she’s working the closing shift today, so it’s only about ten minutes until she can go and do exactly that.

she’s lost in her own thoughts, zoning out until she sees a face that has become… a bit too familiar. “jonathan?” she says to herself, tilting her head when she stares through the glass door from behind the counter. seeing him around is the first hint of excitement in an otherwise dispassionate day, but of course, her revelry is hard to differentiate from her usual state of indifference. “johnny,” she says again, waving as if she’s willing him to come in. he’s seen her upset, she’s more than certain, but she’s already decided that the two are not going to discuss deeply philosophical topics today. instead, moka gives in to a smile.

#HIIII and happy opening day to magickai! i’m lenny bringing you umeda moka (she/her, b. 2003) – she’s a new muse catered specifically to this verse, so i’m excited to start writing and developing her ☺️ check out her links here: about / biography (plz this is coming soon) and under the cut will be a rundown of her information. LIKE this post if interested in plotting, and i will be sliding into ur ims!!!!!!! ok. without further ado. let’s go.

INFO

moka is born on june 3, 2003 to magical lineage – her parents are both magi and so are many of her ancestors before her. she has an older sister, sora, so she’s the youngest in the family

growing up her parents were way more lenient with her than they were with sora bc sora was expected to be the heir and everything

girl sure did act like it too btwKWNDKEJDK she was way more loud and outspoken about her beliefs, thoughts, and feelings while moka was someone who would just. shut up and accept how things would go... not her best trait tbh but what can u do….

moka seemed a lot less motivated in life compared to other people growing up which is kinda sad bc ur like 13 girl why are u already so nonchalant about how ur future goes but i digress

sora always got more attention from people too. relatives, people who were interested in her, moka’s own classmates. moka never really minded however… bc she knew that she thrived in other areas

so we fast forward to when moka is 15 and sora is 17. sora wasn’t showing any signs of having any magical abilities at all so this was when she got more stressed as well as when their parents started putting their stress ON her… sora got meaner with her words and seemed more withdrawn during this time so this kind of strained the sisterly relationship they previously had where it was moka getting doted on

moka starts branching out during this year…. finds her passions and starts taking her hobby of volleyball more seriously, makes some good friends (some 4lifers prob)

in april, she comes into her powers of air manipulation and gets visited by an elder.

her companion is a hamster that looks like hamtaro strangely WNFMEJKEBSKD her name is yua and dont let her cuteness deceive u… shes always up to some shit..

an elder visiting moka made sora even MORE withdrawn from her like. and in blind rage she tried to kill moka like, she literally tried to kill her and this is the root of why moka seems so distant from everybody. this is when they come to terms that the magi gene probably skipped sora

in may, a month later, moka moves to korea to escape it all. her parents make her promise to keep what happened in april a secret, scared to seem like a broken family. they introduce her to their friends in jeju that allow her to stay with them

ofc she’s heard about lumera.. the people she stayed with encourage her to actually enroll in there and she studies her ass off for the written exam portion and since most of her parents circle are magi….. they help her out a lot regarding her powers. help her improve, help her find out what her limits and strengths are, help her with the evaluation section of the exam

she gets her acceptance letter in late june!!!! a few weeks after her birthday in a country she’s new to!!! yay!!! #Moka1stWin

now moka’s a sophomore and she majors in magical metaphysics and struggling with her own stress and trauma + controlling air manipulation bc it can be overwhelming sometimes… shes just a girl…

as for PERSONALITY….. she’s someone u have to get to know to love because her first impression isn’t that strong like. u’d just be like. “okay”. she’s distant and ends up hurting herself as well as other ppl in her process of retreat. moka is more shy and tbh i feel like she’d be a fun person to tease bc she wouldn’t be upset or do anything back just sit there. Probably embarrassed as hell probably would be like “uhhh” JWNFKSKDKNDJD

WANTED CONNECTIONS

moka… needs… a friend… who she can open up to about everything. she’s dismissive at first so a muse that’s extroverted and encouraging to what she wants to do would be all she ever needs like. seriously. or an unlikely friends situation would be very cute too!!!! either way, this muse would have to sign an nda contract so that her parents don’t come for both her and them…

i feel like she needs somebody to see as a sibling here especially because she’s been lonely these days… someone she’s met since her first days at lumera and made her feel right at home somehow. moka is always looking after them to make sure that they’re not pushing themselves harder than they need to, too

people she gets off on the wrong foot with… like yeah her usual state might be idgaf-ism but she also needs some spice in her life…. this muse might’ve gotten frustrated at moka’s lack of ambition, and i feel like moka wouldn’t work well with those with too much of it, as well as cocky personalities

japanese childhood friends that drifted apart from each other and they recently get to reconnect.. how their friendship would look like now would be up to us :3

someone who’s been tutoring her korean. she’s advanced level at the language now because of highschool year determination and has been living in sk for like. a year but she would still appreciate help! maybe they met at korean literature club or smth

MOKA WORKS AT BUBBLING BOBA…. her regulars that she doesnt remember by name but by their boba order WLMDMSNDK if they end up meeting on campus she’s just gonna be like. “omg it’s you milk tea boba with 50% sweetness and light ice”

she’s still bitter abt being kicked out of volleyball club. so. friends she made at volleyball club that she now is “mad” at for stealing her position… friends she still plays volleyball with outside of the club.. etc etc

unrequited crushes that moka makes so obvious that she feels something for them yet she thinks it’s the opposite and is still “hiding” it like. and maybe this time she’s getting distanced from.. let’s see how she reacts to that.. LFMDJDJJS

in that same vein, old exes bc i feel like she wouldn’t be the best in a relationship 😭😭😭 i wanna explore her being guilty regarding it plus… i’m sure it’ll make fun threads!!!!

people to help her get on track, get her motivated with “saving the world” and everything else that has to do with it. moka will be like “uhhhhh” at first but at the end of the day she’ll be the most grateful

i also do prefer figuring things out 1 on 1 and bouncing off on each others ideas so.. let’s brainstorm!!! 🥹 i will appreciate all of the plots u hit me with 💓
