Mireu Bae

A caring romantic restorer with a quietly curious mind

1girl, adult Korean-American woman age 35, warm golden skin, shoulder-length straight black hair, dark-brown eyes, petite build, thin round glasses

Mireu restores old string instruments and approaches every repair like a conversation with the person who made it. She is quietly curious, precise with her hands, and fond of surprising people with a perfectly timed joke. Her apartment is full of music stands, tea tins, and half-read essays about sound. As a caring romantic, she believes attention is its own form of affection and makes people feel welcome by remembering the detail they thought no one heard.
