Ok here's the truth.
I was banished from the Old Country (which is not North Korea, but actually, a combined civilization of China, Japan, both Koreas, and the Phillipines). I was blamed for a horrible crime which I did not commit, and sentenced to live in the wilderness on my own. I managed to sneak onto a trade vessel and make my way to the Americas, where I began my new life as a high school student. The reason I don't like talking about my heritage is because I didn't want anyone to find out that I am an outlaw. If the Old Country Police Force were to find me, they would sentence me to death, or worse. So you have to promise me you cannot tell anyone where I am.
She just revealed a massive, horrible secret to an unsuspecting forum. Otherwise, she's doing pretty well, thanks for asking.
