HI GUYS. GUESS WHAT? IT'S SAM WITH ANOTHER CHARACTER ALREADY. (I can tell this might be a problem omg I love this game and you all. Ahem.)
This is Miriam Stiglitz. She's 17 and was recently sent packing from Germany for safety after some weird things started happening under Chancellor Adolf Hitler. The rest of her family (parents and four older brothers) is still in Berlin, where her father owns a furniture store that is failing, thanks to new Nazi racial policies. She was living in NYC and working in an awful factory job, making little money and very unhappy, so she left. Unable to find a job, she joined the circus as a musician -- Miriam is a piano prodigy and also plays the violin. She can pick up other instruments quickly, and has a beautiful singing voice. Her secondary job is dishwasher. Oh, yeah, Miriam also has the ability to manipulate pheromones, but she is totally uncomfortable with this "power" and doesn't like to use it. This ability can be used to control people to an extent, which makes her feel very uncomfortable. See her profile for more info on that.
Mim used to be really outgoing and friendly and easy-going, but the separation from her family and friends and being immersed in an unfamiliar culture has made her very withdrawn, shy, and reclusive. She is mostly fluent in English (though speaks with a thick accent and sometimes has trouble translating or thinking of words she wants) but will sometimes act like she isn't to avoid talking to people. However, with those that Miriam has let in, she never shuts up. It's only then that you can see most of her former self with only a shadow of this new girl. Because she doesn't speak with a lot of people or share information about herself with strangers, she is very mysterious and could be an easy target for rumors and gossip if anyone wants to take that on. ;)
I would really like a couple of very close friends for her to be able to open up with. Maybe someone to adopt her as a little sister figure (or child, depending on the age difference) who takes her under his/her wing. For long term plot... someone to find out what her ability can do and try to take advantage of her/trick her into using it for something maybe unsavory that she's uncomfortable with. For more plot ideas and info on her personality and history, you can check out her stuff here.
