Background
Debut
"ALTER CROWN's source of vitality who encourages the group with her unwavering will. An idol with unique contrasting charms who performs perfectly on stage, unlike her usual clumsy self."
She has a long history with martial arts to the point of possessing various degrees in many of them. She was deeply inspired by an idol performance she saw one day and decided to enter the path of a dancer. There were many initial trials and errors since she's only practiced martial arts all her life, but she put rigorous effort towards improving her dancing skills to match her expectations. After that, she applied for an idol audition in the hopes of standing on the stage that inspired her.
There was some trouble because she placed her camera upside down when she filmed her audition, but this was considered a fun concept and she was accepted. Everyone soon found out during her time as a trainee that the mistake during the audition wasn't a concept, but her debut was decided because her efforts overshadowed her small mistakes.
While participating as a guest in a radio broadcast, her reaction while talking about a family member who ran away from home became a big issue at one point. After she burst into tears saying her older brother dyed his hair one day then started running away from home often, bad remarks about Ara's unknown brother sometimes get posted on the comment section in ALTER CROWN's internet articles.
She has a pet cat she's been raising since school days. There was trouble when the cat that was supposed to be at her family's home followed her to the studio in secret. After this, there seems to have been a compromise between members to let the cat live in their dorm because the cat is often seen in ALTER CROWN's daily photos on SNS. Her odd image became stronger when she was seen addressing the cat in honorifics.
Comeback
| “ | I'm so overjoyed to meet everyone again! I will show everyone this thrilling feeling on the stage!
~ Idol Message |
” |
"A born-to-be idol who soothes the ALTER KNIGHTS with gentle smiles and warm words. She may be full of clumsy mistakes, but when she's onstage, she's a flawless star in dancing and singing."
An idol adept at stage-stealing performance. Before becoming an idol, Ara had spent her life practicing martial arts. Perhaps this is why her fans say that her dance moves are unique. However, when Ara was asked in an interview about the secret to her choreography, she surprised her fans with her answer, "I think the concentration I honed with Jenga helped me."
The adorable foodie fairy still loves to eat. In terms of quantity and speed, she is on par with MEGA CAKE's Laby and trinityACE's Elsword. Her favorite dishes are tteokbokki and chicken. She prefers meals over desserts. Her logic is that she can eat quickly between practices. She is also known for always asking fans if they have eaten during public broadcasts and autograph signings, so much so that fans jokingly say that whenever they meet her, they should be prepared to tell her what they ate that day.
Many people have been wondering about Ara's brother since she broke down in tears when she talked about how he left the home during her debut. Every time Ara would star as a guest in radio programs, she would be flooded with messages asking for updates on her brother. In response, Ara shared the news that her brother had returned safely. Ara's expressions of joy at reuniting with her brother gained a lot of attention. However, in a recent broadcast, she revealed that her brother had left again, saying that he wanted to find a different path. She said that she was upset and angry, but she would continue to support him regardless of the path he chose because she believed in his good heart. In response, fans have told Ara to go see a fortune teller, saying, "Maybe you're not well fated with your brother".
Relationships

"Our respected leader!"
Miss Rena is a leader whom I respect that always leads the team in the right direction! There was a time when our activities were delayed due to my mistake...... I was thankful for how she let me off with a gentle warning. I'll try even harder for Miss Rena's sake! "ALTER CROWN's trusted leader." She's the trusted leader of ALTER CROWN. She spends a lot of time practicing for the comeback and looking after other members. I was worried that she might be pushing herself too hard, but as an energetic and active person, she seems to be doing fine. Even while busy, she joins me in yoga practices daily, goes live on stream with Rose, and pursues personal hobbies. I think being a leader is amazing. I'm so happy and proud of Rena as the leader of ALTER CROWN! |

"She was interested in my martial arts, so we go to the dojo often together..."
Miss Elesis was interested in my martial arts, so we go to the dojo often together. Although she's normally strict, I'm envious of how she becomes so joyful whenever she's talking about her little brother. Will the day come when I can smile while talking about my brother too......? "Eternal center and the leading vanguard." She's our eternal center and leading vanguard. I often share hobbies with Elesis, so we would often meet up at the dojo. She seems like a fiery person who tackles head-on, but under the surface, she's very cautious and calm. I think such charismatic personality is what makes her shine brighter. When the practices drag on, many lose focus and start making mistakes. We often lose our confidence as we lose our focus. That's when Elesis comes in to spark the dying flames. If Rena is the mother of ALTER CROWN, Elesis feels like the father of ALTER CROWN. Fufufu. |

"Cool person who always maintains polite composure!"
It's cool how Miss Rose always maintains polite composure... But it was hard to approach her at first. When I was watching a historical drama not too long ago, I was shocked to realize that she was also watching seriously from beside me. She mentioned first that we might have similar tastes in drama. I think we became a bit closer! "She has a burning passion undercover." When we first heard that Rose would be with us officially, everyone was surprised. We all thought she was ALTER CROWN from the start! She hung out with us so much that we felt she was an official member from the start. She would play board games with us whenever she had free time. Thanks to that, I was able to focus my attention better. Sometimes, we'd get so fired up that we'd play so hard to the point that when we ended a card game where the winner who finished matching all the cards had to ring a bell, both players ended up with a reddened hand. We laughed so hard when we noticed that. Rose is usually quiet and polite, but has a burning, unspoken passion in her. I thought I was quite passionate, but I may not be burning as bright as Rose. |

"ALTER CROWN's new face."
ALTER CROWN's new face joined us starting from this album. I thought she was really good at dancing. I was even more surprised when she told me it hadn't been a long time since she started practicing to be an idol. She said she worked part-time during the day and practiced during the night. She's such an unbelievably hard worker. Lithia fit into our team seamlessly, to the point that it feels that she's been with us from the start. She especially fits well with Elesis and jokes around, giving us so much energy and laughter between our schedules. |

"Scary person who speaks crudely..."
He used to be a scary person because he speaks so crudely. One day, I was giving Miss Eun snacks when I noticed him glaring at me. I didn't know what to do! But all the misunderstanding was cleared when I coincidentally saw Mr. Add giving snacks to Miss Eun in secret. As they say, there's no bad person amongst cat lovers! |

"I can see how he became an official member..."
I heard he joined the trinityACE like Lithia in ALTER CROWN. He seemed to be very quiet and shy, so I was a bit worried. But onstage, he does his job so well. I thought ah, I see how he ended up in trinityACE. Oh, I also heard rumors about his personal manager. I heard the manager is always by Noah's side, taking care of him in shadows... maybe Noah is the son of a super elite rich family who is secretly working as an idol against his parents' wishes? |
|
"She doesn't seem to reply to my texts whenever I make a spelling error..."
I got to know her during the time when I was worried about my image not fitting with the group's concept. I was so surprised to find out that Miss Eve, who always seems so serious and straight-up, had the same worries as me. After that, we became close enough to exchange text messages, but for some reason, she doesn't seem to reply to my texts whenever I make a spelling error. Could there be a problem with our phones? |
|
"She's amazing in many areas."
I'm always worn out from the dances and songs, but Lu is a powerhouse, participating in so many areas. I heard she had some troubles with her previous company, but in the end, it made her stronger. But... the stories I hear about her experience seem beyond just mere troubles... and she often gives the same vibes as my cat... I wonder why? She's a mysterious being that I want to know more about. |
|
"He taught me a lot about dances during trainee days."
Mr. Raven is a good person who taught me a lot about dances during my trainee days! It would have been difficult for me to debut in such a short time if it weren't for him. I thought he would prefer solo activities since he's normally a silent person. I was surprised that he debuted as a group! But how he performs with his group seems to suit him well too. As expected from a professional. |

"He gave me a hand-baked cookie!"
Ciel is such a gentleman towards his fans. I'm always surprised with how he is so at ease dealing with fans, but I'm guessing it's because he has worked as a manager. Maybe that's why he has such a good reputation among his members and his fans. He gave us some hand-baked cookies the other day and it tasted so good! All the members of ALTER CROWN were talking about how they would visit his bakery daily if he decided to run one after retiring as an idol. Some were saying that they should be nice to him before ‘he gets even more popular'. I heard he does some cooking streams, so I tried to mimic what he did... but I couldn't catch up with how fast his hands were. It reminded me of my childhood days when I failed to catch up to the paper-folding stream that I tried to follow... |
