Personality: Minerva is a proud person in terms of her skills. She is not satisfied with the term "average", as she aims to be perfect in mastering her skills. Her perfectionism caused many of the others to dislike her, believing that she looked down on them. It is odd to many people who know her that she is somewhat clumsy outside of fighting and has easy going personality. She has a hard time respecting Galbadian soldiers due to some events from her past which lead to her actively disobeying orders when having to aid them. 

Biography: Minerva grew up to loving parents in Timber but despite this she was never really happy. With military occupation of Timber it was hard on her growing up with the resistance fighters and the galbadian military it made things hectic to say the least. Despite this Minerva grew up while somewhat clumsy she tried her hardest though nothing stays the same. A bit later when she was 9 her parents was killed for "aiding the resistance." 

A bit after that she was adopted by some "galbadian" supporters who quickly tried to quell any thoughts of uprising from her. Their methods ranged from telling about how great the galbardian military was to training her somewhat so that she could one day join the military as well in some shape or form. Despite her misgivings towards the galbadian military and her "new" parents she perservered through the training and was eventually sent to the Galbadian garden for further study when she was 11. While there she flourished under the training showing that despite her clumsy nature she was in her "zone" when fighting. 

Training for her was easy she truly was a near prodigy with fighting. She was really a star in the making as most teachers called her. Though one thing she always avoided was the contract to a Guardian Force. which while nessecary to be a SeeD she pushed back when possible. This however changed one day when she recieved a certain item. A ring which was said to contain a powerful GF. Despite this she left it alone till one day she when she moving around items she tripped and fell and her luck did not hold through as she landed she ended up activating the ring. It was their she came face to face with Asterius who called itself the "forbidden". Despite anythiing and being prepared for a fight Asterius found it self intruiged by the girl and and made a pact to be her GF. Despite all of this Minerva bided her time waiting and preparing for a time to really "strike". One thing remained with her and that was the death of her parents it was when she vowed she would make sure one day Galbadia military would leave Timber and pay for their actions. 
Additional information:

GF: Asterius

Appearance: A large bull like creature whose body is consumed by the inky darkness it arives from. Despite that its body is heavilly chained making it where only the head and part of its hand is able to be shown. Its horns are broken lacking a point but rather has flames spewing from it. It is armored in a unknown material around its neck which has a extended collar and its hands. Beyond that it constantly fights the chains that drag it down making it a hard for the GF to stay long. There are legends and myths stating that the asterius was chained to contain is power and or stop its rampage. Though as most myths and legends go it is hard to know which is fact or not. Asterius while chained can still show off its considerable strength in the form of punches. Speculation has it Asterius was a fire based GF before it was chained as evident by the large fire coming from its horns and mouth. Though the state it is in now makes it hard to tell as it never showed any fire based skills or capabilities.
