Background Notes
Deborah’s family is all doctors.
Her mother, Okja Jan, a 1.5-generation Korean-American, works in general practice for Doctor’s Without Borders (Médicins sans frontiérs). Her father, John Johnson, a life-long New Englander with an upper middle class background and old American-British roots, is a neurologist. Her parents met in medical school. They fell in love with each other and eloped. John’s marriage to Okja was a shock to his family. They disapproved of their marriage and this was really stressful to both of them over the years. Eventually, after 6 years and 3 kids, they divorced.
Her oldest sister, Sarah, is a neurologist. Sarah Johnson has a 5 year old son named Spencer Wilson, Deborah’s only nephew. Her older brother, Adam, is a heart surgeon, enjoying his bachelor life. He is a playboy, and Deborah has lost count of his girlfriends. Deborah is a trained and licensed neurologist. After she took a year to work with her mother in Sierra Leone, she decided to become an ER doctor. Her father disowned her over this decision. They had a bad argument. She is fine not seeing her father for a while. He also interfered with her love life and broke up a relationship with an ex-lover. Her ex, Max Huntington, a doctor in her same neurology program, is black, her father objected. He thought a multi-ethnic relationship would be too difficult based on his own divorce. The strain of her father’s disapproval was too much for her relationship with Max. Max broke it off after a particularly angry argument with Deborah’s dad. Deborah is currently single.
Deborah feels more connected to her Korean roots. Her mother tried to teach her kids Korean when they were young, but this failed due to her father’s influence. However, Deborah pursued the connection her own way. She speaks some Korean and she can read, but understanding and writing is still difficult for her. She took some Korean cooking lessons and makes her own Kim-Chi, which she is very proud of. Her favorite Korean dishes are Hwe (Korean style raw fish) and fermented crab. She collects Korean books, even though she does not understand them all well. She loves Korean music. However, she has never been to Korea yet.
At home she has a rescue dog, Jjong. Jjong is a 75 lb healthy 3 year old with curly white fur, and is a poodle-husky mix. She loves to chase squirrels. As of the start of the game, Jjong is being house-sit by some of Deborah’s neighbors, who have a Great Pyrenees named Luna. They are the ultimate playmates for each other. Very few dogs will stand up to Luna, except Jjong.
Deborah owns a 1300 square foot house 2 bed, 1 1/2 bath on 1 acre. She drives an orange 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid.
