yara-faye kim ultimate toxicologist
early life: a poisonous curiosity yara-faye grew up in a multigenerational apothecary in seoul, where her grandmother —a renowned herbalist and former coroner’s consultant — kept locked cabinets of toxic plants and forensic manuals. ehile other children feared "don’t touch" warnings, 6-year-old yara-faye pressed her nose to glass jars of aconite and arsenic-laced taxidermy, demanding to know *why* they killed. her parents, both pharmacologists, indulged her macabre hobby by turning dinner-table quizzes into "poison or medicine?" games. by age 10, she could identify cyanide’s bitter almond scent and knew which household cleaners became lethal when mixed.

academic ascent: from prodigy to professional at 16, she published a controversial paper on undetectable plant-based neurotoxins in a peer-reviewed journal, earning scorn from traditional toxicologists—until her findings helped solve a high-profile assassination attempt in europe. by 22, she held: - a ph.d. in forensic toxicology (youngest graduate in her university’s history) - a consulting role with interpol’s chemical crimes unit her reputation for "smelling death in a teacup" led to hope’s peak’s invitation—though rumors swirl that the university’s board specifically wanted her to "balance" its new class of morally ambiguous geniuses.

the letter… “on behalf of the selection committee at hope's peak university, it is my honor to formally invite you to join our *elite graduate program in applied toxicology and forensic medicine* as our esteemed **ultimate toxicologist**. your groundbreaking work on *postmortem alkaloid redistribution in delayed-toxicity cases* (journal of forensic sciences, vol. 48, issue 3) and your innovative contributions to the interpol chemical crimes unit have demonstrated the exact caliber of brilliance we seek in our scholars.”

more about her she moves through rooms like a ghost who double-majored in forensic pathology and social anxiety, all quiet steps and sharper eyes. strangers get the *human equivalent of a locked cabinet*—clinical monosyllables, gloved hands, a stare that dissects your lies before you finish telling them. but the few who slip past her defenses? oh. they get the *unfiltered, unhinged version*: the one who remembers your irrational fears, leaves unlabeled antidotes in your bag "just in case," and argues about coffee poisonings like it’s small talk. she’ll clinically dismantle a crime scene while humming off-key bryson tiller, then deny crying at a dog rescue video (*just look at it!! :( *). her love language is *threat assessments disguised as care*—*"drink this, it’s not poisoned (today)"*—and her hugs are rarer than non-lethal hemlock.
