| In-Depth Appearance |
Mya stands at 5’6 and weighs in at around 155lbs, with a lean, muscular build and hazel eyes that pierce through even the bravest souls. Her dirty brown hair falls to shoulder length with a slightly evident curl, though is usually seen in a ponytail. Normally she is seen wearing a loose pair of jeans or khakis, topped with a button up dress shirt or a skin tight sports shirt.

At night, her eyes are even more discomforting, almost giving off a yellow glow if one were to look close enough.

Who Am I?
| Personality |
♦ Respectful ♦ Sadistic ♦ Loyal ♦ Untrusting/Weary ♦
Mya could be compared to a wolf, silently stalking it’s prey for great distances and amounts of time, waiting for the perfect opportunity. When she speaks her words are well thought out and planned well beforehand, designed to get all the information possible out of a suspect. She can be manipulative with people when she sees an opportunity, but otherwise tries to blend in and avoid suspicion while researching her suspects. Or her prey.
Mya tends to hunt suspects that have done unimaginable things to get them where they are. It isn’t uncommon for suspects to suddenly turn up dead in her cases, mostly suspects of violent crimes. Justification by saving future victims.

| History |
Mya was born to an odd couple. Her mother, Melanie LaCroix was a private business owner and had nestled herself in the solar market out in the more rural areas of the country. Her father? Well, he was almost the exact opposite. Jonathan Shepard spent ten years in prison for assault and breaking and entering before he met Melanie, and then he was re-imprisoned for life after Mya’s birth for the murder of her mother.
After that, Mya was put into an orphanage in New York and went to school like most older children. She frequently got into fights and wound up in the principal's office more times than she could count. She was eventually expelled from school and disappeared from the orphanage, travelling down towards the south in search of a new home. As she grew older, she became involved with the wrong crowds at school, having been detained four or five times for drug possession before she turned eighteen.
After that, it was like someone flicked a lightswitch. Her grades in highschool went from barely passing to almost top of the class, she got her Bachelor’s in both Forensic sciences and Criminology before joining the police force when she was twenty four. By the time she turned twenty seven, she had been promoted to the rank of Detective Sergeant. Mya was then given the opportunity to choose where she wanted to work, before getting a transfer to the town of Red Lake, much to her Captain’s confusion.
She lives a fairly quiet life in Red Lake, investigating the few crimes that do happen in the local area when they occur, as well as taking on private contracts from anonymous parties. Mya is normally seen at the Café or the Police station, usually tucked away in a corning researching her clients and cases.

The Other
| Theme Song |
All My Life – Foo Fighters
”All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day”
