Nation Name: Haesan
Puppet?: N
Total Number of Enrolled Students: 10, the top 20 scorers on the national benchmark exams for 2022 were then interviewed in a two-stage process. The entire selection process is run by the government.
-Main Character Student Application: (1-2 per nation)
Student Name: Isabelle (Yu-na) Min
Student Age: 16
Basic Description: Female, average height with a slight build, pale skin, long dark hair and brown eyes. She is very reserved and measured with her speech and can come across as bookish at times. A fierce competitor who strives to win every competition she enters, no matter how insignificant. At her prep school, the most prestigious school in Suyang, she was national finalist in her event through the Business Club and a national qualifier in her speech event, so she is no stranger to hard bargaining and negotiation technique. Also, are those clothes designer?!
How was this student selected for THAWS?: She had the 6th highest exam score in the nation, and due to years of training the interviews were a breeze. Her mother is Min Ji-min, the chairwoman of the Seollim Group, Haesan's largest corporation, which definitely had nothing to do with her selection. While Isabelle is eminently qualified for THAWS, that has not stopped public outrage (but she's used to this by now).
Student Name: Moussef Naciri
Student Age: 17
Basic Description: Male, average height with an average build, tan skin, short dark hair cut in an athletic style, and brown eyes. Mental toughness is the attribute that most defines Moussef, having immigrated with his father from Serriel at a young age. Even as a young child, he would often find odd jobs to work in his community, and his entrepreneurial spirit and creative intelligence have driven his academic success and led him to become a pillar of his community. Family is the most important thing to him and remittances from his father's work in the Bridgeport docks and his odd jobs helped pay for his mother and sister to reunite with them ten years ago. He sees THAWS as a way to make it in the highly meritocratic Haesanite society and give back to his parents who sacrificed so much for him.
How was this student selected for THAWS?: He had the 2nd highest exam score in the nation, and his family-oriented story really resonated with the selection committee.

Staff Member Name: Ms. Choi Ji-yu
Job Title: Assistant Director, History (JR)
Basic Description: Female, short with an average build, short black hair, 52. The Government of Haesan would not allow THAWS to be accredited unless they knew someone competent, and Haesanite, was running the show from behind the scenes. The former Deputy Minister of Education, who is being heavily compensated for her time in Eiria, knows how to manage an educational system, and ensure academic excellence. She helped revamp the prep school system throughout the early 2000s and her conceptualization of flexible but regimented structure is a pillar of the Haesanite education system. She's either students' favorite or most dreaded teacher.
