She does have a natural rosy color to her cheeks.[/indent] [color=#758173]Distinguishing features[/color] [indent]Her most distinguishing feature is her striking hair color. Oftentimes it makes her hard to miss.[/indent] [color=#758173]Clothing Preferences[/color] [indent]Mina prefers corseted bodices with a bertha style neckline when at court and in the warmer weather. She often wears skirts that are have bustles and reach the floor. Under those skirts, she almost always wears boots, a habit she finds hard to break coming from the frigid north. If the weather is colder, Mina will wear the same corseted bodice, but the neckline often will be a bit higher and she wears long, fitted sleeves. When it comes to colors, she favors darker colors like deep reds, browns, and greens. Sometimes she’ll step out of her comfort zone and wear a lighter shade of blue or even gray.[/indent] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/61TT0tB.png[/img][/center] [img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/220310/09729e101f05acae4519c3bd0ff5a4dc.png[/img] [color=#758173]Likes:[/color] [indent][list] [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] Books [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] Art [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] Peace and quiet [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] Kolonivka [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] Snow [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] Nighttime [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] Sweets [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] Wine [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] Spiders [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] Ravens[/list][/indent] [color=#758173]Dislikes:[/color] [indent][list] [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] People disturbing her when she reads [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] Prying people [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] People that chew loudly [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] Cockroaches [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] Hot and humid days [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] Not having a book to read [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] Apples[/list][/indent] [color=#758173]Sexuality:[/color] [indent]Straight, but will flirt with anyone[/indent] [color=#758173]Hobbies:[/color] [indent][list] [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] Reading [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] Drawing [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] Painting[/list][/indent] [color=#758173]Life Goals/Dreams:[/color] [indent]Her life goal is to protect her uncle and help find a way to lessen the illness that ails him. She also would love to find someone to spend her life with so she won’t be alone when her uncle is no longer with her.[/indent] [color=#758173]Personality Summary:[/color] [indent]Mina seems to have picked up a few personality traits from her uncle, seeming rather reserved and often keeping to herself unless she deems socialization absolutely necessary. Oftentimes you will find her sitting next to a window reading a book or in the study sketching or painting. Despite being fairly quiet, she still holds herself with an air of confidence. When someone ends up engaging her in conversation they’ll be quick to find that she’s actually rather charming and can even be a little feisty when the situation calls for it. She can even be rather flirtatious at times, though usually it’s only if the person is flirtatious with her first. Having spent years observing people she’s mastered the art of speaking velvety words and saying exactly what you want to hear. She is incredibly protective of her uncle and if she ever hears someone speaking ill of him she’s quick to jump in and let them learn how sharp her tongue can truly be. Just as easily as she can use flowery words to make someone feel good, she can easily tear a person down and absolutely destroy them with words.[/indent] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/7GxJcql.png[/img][/center] [img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/220310/2e45bd1454efee4cb129296edffd3c18.png[/img] [color=#758173]Current occupation:[/color] [indent]Future Countess of Kolonivka[/indent] [color=#758173]Any past occupations?:[/color] [indent]N/A[/indent] [color=#758173]Relatives:[/color] [indent]Count Sebastian Blackwood[/indent] [color=#758173]Skills:[/color] [indent][list] [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] Painting [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] Sketching [color=#5B433F]☪[/color] Manipulation[/list][/indent] [color=#758173]History Summary:[/color] [indent]Born out of wedlock to Selina Blackwood, the younger sister of Count Sebastian Blackwood, no one knows who Mina’s father is. Despite her mother being shamed and ostracized by society, other than by her brother, Mina’s life still started out pretty easy. Her mother loved her dearly and her uncle made sure that they had a comfortable life. Up until Mina reached the age of four, she had a happy life filled with many imaginary friends. She also loved it when her uncle would come to visit as he’d always bring her little gifts and sweets. Unfortunately Selina was plagued by many demons and so many believed her mad. There came a day when Sebastian was due for a visit, that little four year old Mina went looking for her mother and found her dangling from the ceiling. Not understanding what was happening, she walked over to her mother trying to speak to her and tugging on her skirts. When she didn’t reply, little Mina decided her mother must be asleep and sat herself down underneath her dangling feet. That’s where Sebastian found her a couple hours later. [color=758173]”Hi Uncle Bastian, my friend said mommy was hurt and so I wanted to wait till she wakes up to make sure she’s okay.”[/color] It wasn’t until she was much older that she understood what had truly happened. Sebastian took Mina in, adopting her and raising her as his own daughter and heir as he had never married nor did he ever have any children. Mina grew very close to her uncle and viewed him as the father figure she’d never had. He provided everything for her while making sure she was well educated as well as teaching her all the responsibilities of looking over Kolonivka. Sebastian is a rather reserved man and oftentimes seems to be somewhat sickly which has caused for Mina to take over many responsibilities and to act as her uncle's representative when they were at court and he was feeling under the weather.[/indent] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/1AOFNWo.png[/img][/center] [hider=Questionnaire][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/BCGMDwO.png[/img][/center] [img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/220310/152b77f3a1713d3516d1c93d4a0bd389.png[/img] Did you grow up nurtured or neglected? [color=#758173]Oh I would certainly say I was nurtured, despite everything. My uncle certainly did all he could to care for me and he did a wonderful job with it.[/color] When you were upset, where was your sanctuary? [color=#758173]I found escape within the library of Kolinivka Castle. Whether it was lost within the pages on the numerous books we have or on the canvas as I painted my surroundings and the visions in my head, it helped to quiet those things that haunt me.[/color] What were you like in your teenage years? [color=#758173]Perhaps you should ask my uncle this question, would you like me to see if he is feeling well enough for visitors?[/color] How close are you to your parents? [color=#758173]Well seeing as my mother is no longer among the living and my father is unknown, not as close as some might be with their parents. Now if the question is how close I am to Uncle Bash, there are no secrets between us.[/color] Do you have any trauma that haunts you? [color=#758173]When one witnesses their mother hanging from the rafters of their home and sits there below them for a couple hours I feel it would be hard not to have some trauma, wouldn’t you? So yes, plenty of things haunt me.[/color] What advice would you give your younger self? [color=#758173]Check under the dusty old rug.[/color] Were you an obedient child or defiant? [color=#758173]Again, perhaps we should go visit Uncle Sebastian.[/color] What is your biggest regret? [color=#758173]My, aren’t you a nosey little thing. Are you looking to use this against me?[/color] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/BCGMDwO.png[/img][/center] [img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/220310/1880d38c915bddd952740159fee1ca33.png[/img] Have you ever been in love? [color=#758173]Hmm I do enjoy helping others feel like they're in love.[/color] What is most important in a partner to you? Describe your dream partner. [color=#758173]Truly this is a question I’ve given little thought to, I’ve had little time to think of romance. Perhaps ultimately I wish to find someone to help me with my ghosts. Someone to hold me and hide me from the darkness that’s always lurking.[/color] How do you display affection? What is your love language? [color=#758173]I do believe how I truly show affection for others is by helping them or doing things for them. If I can help lessen the burden of someone I care for that is what brings me true joy.[/color] Have you had your first kiss? What was it like? [color=#758173]Again, you are quite nosey. I will answer you this one, however, as it is no secret. Yes, believe it or not but it was with a servant within Kolonivka Castle when I was merely 13 years old. I was more curious on if I could get him to kiss me and it ended up being much easier than I expected. Since then I’ve had many kisses, each one a game for me to see how easy I could convince someone. I wished to find out if all men were easy or if some could prove to be a challenge. Besides, seducing others helps me get things I want.[/color] Do you believe in love at first sight? Why or why not? [color=#758173]I believe love at first sight was something invented to give naive girls unrealistic expectations. It is something that only exists in books and is foolish to think otherwise.[/color] What does marriage mean to you? [color=#758173]Marriage is complicated and too many make it too simple. In the world of nobility we often use it as a business transaction, but I believe that is an insult to what marriage should truly be. Marriage should be something between two people that compliment and complete one another. Only when you’ve found that person that completes you should you marry. My uncle agrees, it is why he never married.[/color] Are you currently crushing on anyone? [color=#758173]Now why would I tell you?[/color] (open for plotting) Do you ever consider having children in the future? [color=#758173]Perhaps.[/color] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/BCGMDwO.png[/img][/center] [img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/220310/5f9f47583cfb43a5440f4d6234aa59c1.png[/img] Describe your ideal Sunday morning: [color=#758173]Curled up beside a warm fire with a lovely book, sipping on some tea, while snow falls outside and quiets the world.[/color] What kind of person do you aspire to be? [color=#758173]I aspire to be someone who is loved and respected by my people. I wish for them to know they are heard and that I care for them.[/color] What bad habits do you have? [color=#758173]Tell me yours first, then maybe I’ll tell you mine.[/color] If you could go back in time and change anything in your past, what would it be? [color=#758173]I don’t wish to change much from my past, I’d rather go back and change something of someone else's past.[/color] What is your greatest fear? [color=#758173]I fear the lurking darkness.[/color] What are your pet peeves? [color=#758173]I cannot stand someone who insists on chewing with their mouth open. It causes me to contemplate murder sometimes.[/color] When you are in a sour mood, do you like to be alone or with others? [color=#758173]Alone.[/color] Are you more likely to fight with your fists or your tongue? [color=#758173]I’ve been gifted with a sharp tongue, I may as well use the weapon I was given.[/color] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/UF502RH.png[/img][/center][/hider][/color][/hider]
