Mina Shepland
Name: Mina ( pronounced Meena) Sable Shepland
Nickname: None, and quite frankly she'll hurt you if you attempt to
give her one.
Age: 38, a baby by Demon standards.
Birthplace: Blickling, England
Sex: Female
Occupation: Prostitute
Appearance:
Mina is considered by some that she meets to be a rather unusual
looking woman. She stands at only five feet two inches high and is
thin, weighing about 110-115lbs. This skinniness is only made more
profound by the fact that her skin is stark white, causing her
prominent bones to stick out more than they already do. Despite her
height (or lack thereof) she tends to seem very long, with elegant
fingers and arms that appear too soft to be real, and cool to the
touch. Her hair and eyes (both of which are colored dark brown) add a
sharp contrast to her look and only further lend to the blanched
appearance of her flesh. Those eyes sparkle at all times, and often
seem so deep that it is quite easy to become lost in them. They are
hooded and made that much darker by her oddly long eyelashes, which are
nearly always painted black with mascara, despite their natural
darkness. The woman's hair is generally the only unruly part of her
appearance, curls that fall just past her shoulders tend to have minds
of their own and escape all manner of ties and clips that she attempts
to keep them up with. If she's feeling less than lazy she could of
course force them into place but she prefers to exert as little energy
as possible on such things. Of all of her physical components her
smile is often the deadliest, it can light up a room and portray a
large range of emotions that you would think would be difficult to show.
Her dress, like her personality, is extraordinarily provocative.
Dark colors compliment her natural appearance and high heeled shoes
make her taller than she normally is. Generally the things she wears
flow, and show a lot of skin if she even chooses to dress at all. More
often than not she can be found wandering around her apartment in only
a pair of heels. One thing she could never ever go without though is
her nail polish, whether it's black or red it doesn't matter, as long
as it's there.
While in her natural form her skin does not shed its pale pigment.
Her nails lengthen considerably and her eyes and hair turn black as
night, giving her a more dangerous look than when she has taken the
form of a human. As a fairly young demon her wings have not matured
fully, and so sprout only about half a foot out of her back. They are
as black as her eyes in this state, and are somewhat fluffy, much like
an infant birds would be.
Personality:
Personality is something that Mina naturally has a lot of, and while
it can seem overly complex at times, at others it can seem so shallow
it's sad. The truth is that she runs mostly on one thing: desire.
Mostly a desire to have skin on skin contact at all times, and she'll
do nearly anything to make this happen. She is extremely good at
getting what she wants, whether this means manipulating the people
around her with words or pressing herself flush against them in order
to attempt to make them lose all sense of self-control. Mina could set
the precedent for seduction, her voice is often rich and laced with
just enough of that one special ingredient that'll send you (regardless
of gender) reeling. This works to her advantage in nearly every
situation as one of her favorite past times is wrecking relationships
of all kinds. Her happiness is important to her, and if that means
destroying your life and everyone in it so be it.
She is cunning and malicious when it comes to her anger. If you
thwart her plans you'd better be prepared to receive what she considers
fair payment in full. The woman will stop at nothing to make sure that
you're on your knees begging her to stop whatever it is she's doing to
rip your heart out and shred it before your very eyes. Remorse, pain,
love, and sadness are not things she frequently feels and so to be
confronted with such emotions from others only inspires hatred and fear
in her own being. If Mina herself feels these things she is likely to
seclude herself from everyone until she can figure out what's wrong
with her and stomp it out. Anything but experiencing pure joy and
pleasure is, in her mind, beneath her.
Mina becomes more and more sexually driven with each passing day, and
so it isn't strange to think that she willingly (and happily) became a
prostitute to put such pleasures to good use. She loves men...and
women, it doesn't really matter which and thrives on sharing in and
exploiting their pleasures to the extreme. Her flirtation is often
extremely quick and to the point, she doesn't waste time trying idly to
pull you in. Instead she prefers to make her intent as clear as
possible in a small amount of time. That is not to say that she
doesn't choose wisely when it comes to a potential one night stand,
however. The woman is insanely shallow and will frown upon you for any
number of reasons that she will be sure to share with you. Breaking
hearts is something she does often, and she loves every single second
of it.
Special abilities/talents: Mina was trained in stealth from a young
age, and she gained her flirtatious nature from the women around her
while she was growing up.
Supernatural Affinity:
Species/Group: Demon // Daeva // Lust
Power(s): Can bend the will of a person (this is not to say she can
control them fully) and attempt to make them do things regarding her
speciality (lust) that they would not otherwise do.
Level: Not applicable.
Affiliation/Rank: Belongs to the Daeva Race.
Preferred Prey: She prefers not to feed on people if she can help it.
Too stringy.
History:
Mina Sable Darling was born to her mother Clara Shepland in Blickling,
England some thirty-eight years ago. As a young girl it was apparent
to her mother (who happened to be a full blooded Bagat that the child
would turn out to be a Daeva like her father. From a very young age
she flirted with boys and girls and while they didn't understand what
she was actually doing a good majority of them became terrified of her.
When she was five her family was forced to go into hiding because she
kept tearing various class mates to shreds when they wouldn't do what
she wanted of them. This, of course, was purely regarded as a great
mystery to her teachers and the parents of the deceased, but for Clara
it was a sign.
Ten years after her family retreated into a thick forest to live a
group of Rakshasas invaded the area and slaughtered countless humans,
and Mina's parents. She had been lucky enough to be spending the night
up a tree, and witnessed the horrific event from above, she was fifteen
at the time. This event was what caused such anger in her to grow, and
that coupled with the natural desire she felt made her the perfect form
of a Lust Daeva, while her father had been one of Greed. From the time
she was sixteen to her thirtieth birthday the woman wandered throughout
England, spreading chaos and breaking the hearts of hundreds of men and
women who truly believed her when she said she would make all of their
dreams come true. The power she held over these mortals brought her
great joy and so wherever she went her practice continued until she'd
had enough of the people of Britain. She needed to set her sights
somewhere further west, and it was then that she decided to make her
way to the states. Over the course of her searching she stumbled upon
Mysteria, North Dakota, and realized quickly that there was much more
happening there than people thought.
So, after some careful thought she decided to settle there. Her home
became a loft on the top floor of a rather dark looking building on
Briar Lane and she lives there alone, bringing home customers each
night and waiting patiently (as patiently as possible, anyway) for the
day when her power can be truly freed.
Flaws:
~ Mina is an addict, and rightfully so. It began with a flirting
addiction, and has multiplied and grown into a number of unhealthy and
hellish things. She smokes, drinks, abuses others, gossips, plays kiss
and tell and most importantly seduces on levels that would land a human
in a hospital for a rather long period of time. And don't take away
her vices, to do so would be to request your death or at least a very
bloody fight.
~ She is maddeningly curious, and uses her looks and personality to her
advantage when it comes to finding things out about people. Her
questions are often extremely personal but only manage to come off as
sweetly inquisitive, which is part of her plan. If she can find out
all about it it's easier to destroy your life, after all.
~ Despite that exterior, the one that shells Mina and her entire life
and all that she does and thinks, she is rather soft-hearted (though
she would never admit this to anyone or even herself). This is not to
say that she oggles at kittens or anything, but if you manage to
intrigue her enough, or catch her off guard in any way she might just
find herself experiencing those feelings that she works so damn hard to
shut out. And if she ever started to actually care about someone, it
would very likely be her undoing.
Merits:
~ Part of her appeal, Mina thinks, is that she is incredibly unique
looking. Men driving around the alleyways at night looking for someone
to spend some time with are more likely to pick her out of the few
women dotting the street corners. Her charm too, helps rope in those
individuals who at first seem less than intrigued by her practically
reflective skin-tone.
~ She's an excellent multi-tasker, her cunning little brain can whir to
life and plot out many different tactics at once while at the same time
she's having a rather intelligent (and always flirty) conversation with
you and really listening to what it is that you're saying. This is
dangerous for...well everyone but her, really.
~ The woman is quick on her feet. While she may be fairly small she
can outrun (and if she has to, outfly) most and she thinks fast in
situations that would otherwise get her in a great deal of trouble. If
you're in a sticky situation you will likely want her on your side.
Sexual Orientation: Mina is Bisexual, she would never dream of turning
anyone down based on gender.
Preferred PB (played-by): Helena Bonham Carter
