Now Presenting: Minerva Migloire, the healer.

Introduction.

Full name: Minerva Aelin Magloire.

Pronouns: She/Her.

Birthday: 13th February.

Sexual orientation: Heterosexual.

Pet: Tackery, the ferret.

Personality.

Birth chart (big three): Aquarius sun, Piscis moon, Capricorn rising.

MBTI: INFJ-T.

Patron Arcana: The Moon.

Upright: Intuition, illusions, crisis of faith.

Reversed: Ignored trauma, going back to one’s old ways, difficult emotions.

Minor Arcana: Eight of Cups.

Upright: Departure, change, and emotional intelligence.

Reversed: Being abandoned, errors of judgement, clinging to the past.

Likes: Art nouveau architecture, vitraux, tiny jars for herbs and spices, having a specific order and place for things, white mushrooms growing from in between cobblestones all over Maeth, the way her curls look when she just wakes up, cutting her own hair, soft breeze in the summer, crunchy autumn leaves at her door, that magical shimmer water reflects due to the sun being right above it midday, sweet treats, dim lighting, walnut oak furniture, being a big sister, when Tack rests on her shoulders like a scarf, folk music at the tavern, cherry blush all over her cheeks, when Soleil asked for bedtime stories, doing laundry and sunday deep cleaning, cooking and storing food for the rest of the week, the way Esbat Capital lights up at night, surprising chemical reactions, riding the train, reading romance books.

Dislikes: Brushing her hair because it destroys her curls, rude costumers that doubt her knowledge and expertise, loud people, when the herbs she ordered are delayed so now she has to rush to make the new batches of oil and ointments, long trips on boats, losing her bookmarks, falling asleep on her couch and not her bed, when the shower water runs cold, not being able to find Tack easily.

Abilities: She’s not great at maths but she really does like the accounting aspect of the shop she runs so she’s great at it. Minerva learned how to play the guitar early on in her life so now she’s a decent player. She’s quick to remember recipes for both food and medicine. Can ride a bike without holding the handlebars and that’s her prefered way of moving around the big city, divination.

Favourite food: Cinnamon rolls.

Favourite drink: A latte, please. Or two. Or three… And it’s only 2 PM.

Favourite flower: Ghost flowers.

Magic: She wasn’t born into a family of witches, so she doesn’t have any nature’s element weilding powers but she is interested in witchcraft, so she studies in her free time about it. So far, the only thing she’s confident in is divination with tarot cards and participates in the pagan festivities but nothing else.

Appearance.

Height: 5’4 or 165 cm.

Weight: 119 lbs or 54 kg.

Hair: She’s got this chocolate brown, curly hair which ends go barely past covering her breasts and she can’t tame it most of the time, partially due to the fact that she washes it and goes to sleep without letting it dry properly first. Not that she cares, she likes the messy look her curls and frizz offer so she just lets it be. Though, you might run into her at Açu’s for some deep conditioner every month trying to force those curls to stay in place.

Eyes: Her eyes are brown, simple as that. It’s a deep, sparkly dark brown. Down turned almond shape that look so sleepy most of the time, you’d think she’s bored talking to you and she might be, but it’s not her intention to let you know that. Long lashes adoring her nostalgic stare only enhanced by a eyelash curler in the morning and not much else. Maybe some sparkly eyeshadow in the corner of her eyes if she’s feeling it.

General description: Overall, Minerva is not someone who stands out a lot. Even so, her beauty is something that might caught the eyes of one or two people while walking to work in the mornings. She’s not someone who wears a lot of jewelry but since her eyesight isn’t the best, she’s always wearing contacts or glasses and that’s something she really likes to play with, so you might see her with peculiar frames at the shop. She’s got veiny hands and most of the time you’ll see her wearing some kind of shimmery nail polish that chips way too easily. Minerva has a few beauty marks all over her body, she likes the one she’s got on her neck near her left ear a lot. Also, yes, that overwhelming scent you’re catching is her walking by. Her perfumes are very intense and sweet.

Fashion sense: She’s not the most confident person on the planet and tries to hide her figure a lot behind oversized shirts, sweaters and cardigans, though she’s trying to be more versatile. Trousers and comfortable shoes are her best friends but since she’s okay with her lower part, she’s not opposed to skirts (long or short). She likes clean lines, basic pieces that she can mix and match. Also, boots are her soft spot.

A brief look into her life.

Occupation: Minerva is an apothecary, just like her grandma used to be. When her and Soleil moved in with their father to Maeth from Embry, he decided to move in to his old home with his mother that passed away a few months before. This place is like a small building where the first floor is a shop, the apothecary shop where Minerva works and then, the second and third floor is where Soleil and their father live. Two years ago, Minerva moved just two blocks away from them to a small apartment with a gorgeous view, so she’s with her family most of the time.

Family and friends:

Federico Bianchi; step-father.

Reneé Berest; mother.

Simón Magloire; father.

Soleil Beallin Magloire; sister.

Natsu Dunaidh, best friend.

Benicio Melo Teixeira, best friend.

Amaru Ch’aska Noguera, friend and colleague.

Miscellaneous facts:

The love she has for the aphotecary profession comes from her grandma and all the books she left behind that she wrote about making remedies, herbology and holistic medicine.

She’s also incredibly interested in alchemy and psychology but had to study to be a pharmacist in university so she could continue with the aphotecary business and not have anyone doubting her medicine knowledge and recommend another options.

Even though you’ll mostly see her dressed with autumn colors, she’s also a sucker for cerulean, midnight blue, navy and cobalt. No, it’s not just blue.

Hums and talks to herself while working most of the time, since she’s the only one at the shop most of the time. Except for the times Soleil decides to keep her company for a while.

Loves conspiracy theories and is cryptic enthusiast.

Moths are fascinating to her.

Has a soft, breathy voice when she sings while playing the guitar.

I'll Wait For You in Moonlight

Salice waited, watching the moonlight dance on the water of Lover's Lake. She'd returned to her best friend's house, where she'd been living, filled a basin with water, and taken a rose bath. She smelled of spring and looked like summer in a dress as white as a lamb. She'd prepared herself beautifully like she would meet god.

Tonight, she just might.

The moonlight washed over her like a milky drape, and it was this image that Thomas saw first as he approached her.

It wasn't but a few hours earlier that he'd gotten the courage to right what was going to be the most devastating wrong of his life. Laying next to the woman of his dreams in the St Augustine grass, he made the decision to call off the marriage he'd been dreading for months. The one-sided promise he'd been agonizing over.

"Breaking a one-sided promise is self-preservation."

Salice had never been so right. Then again, when Thomas thought about it, he couldn't ever recall a time when she was wrong.

When he saw her here, waiting for him in white, Thomas couldn't believe his eyes. He's struggled for so long to see clearly, to see something that wasn't an unattainable fantasy in his dreams. But he was looking at his fantasy now and it had finally become a reality.

"Salice?"

She turned, her dark curls tumbling down her shoulders, left bare by her romantic dress. Her green eyes were home.

"Thomas... I waited, just like you said."

"I was so incredibly happy to plan this dinner to celebrate you. I hope you're okay with that. I know you're reserved, love, but you have so many people who love and care about you! They all came to bring you gifts and express how much good you've done in their lives...

That's what you do. Good. You're helpful and kind and strong and truly a pillar in Maeth's community. The whole town appreciates you. And I'm so proud of that. Proud to call myself your wife.

You do so much for others, so I am happy I can be the one who loves you and takes care of you when you need me. Everyone may adore you, but don't forget I'm the one who loves you most of all.

Happy birthday, Thomas. Here's to today, and many more beautiful tomorrows with the man I love more than life itself.

Happy birthday to you, my one and only love."

"Found him crying when I was walking home from Tom's house. He had splinters in his paws but it's all been taken cared of, so I guess.. Welcome to my new roomate?"

"I love it when you're lost in thought, mi corazón. I'm taking this photo for reference so I can paint a portrait of you later. I'm always amazed by your beauty. Te amo, mi mariposa."

"I love life. It's a pain in the ass sometimes but es lo que es, yeah? If you have two legs, use them. If you have one, use it. If you have none, use your arms. That's how I look at everything. If you want to do it, do it. Si quieres tenerlo, tenlo. If you wanna be it, be it. I know I will. Porque esta vida es corta, y quiero vivir, baby."

-Nina Dominga Yanez

"Everything and everyone deserves compassion. I love that magic provides us a power to do good, to protect, and to make whole... but the real magic is compassion of the heart. Those without compassion know a short, cold life. With my powers of light and love, I hope to spread as much compassion as I am able, and bring joy to those who need it most."

Hair: Blue has long dark hair like his mother, that ranges from wavy to straight. He usually has it tied up in a different style daily, generally opting for ponytails or braids with a bandana.

Eyes: Blue has dark eyes, nearly black. They're inquisitive and kind, sometimes squinting to a close when he laughs.

General description: Blue has a light olive skin tone and tans very easily, which he prefers to do in the summer months. He has his father's large nose, and his mother's cheekbones and strong chin. His eyebrows are rather thick, just a hair away from being too bushy and it takes a lot of effort to keep them tame. His face has some hyperpigmentation around the cheek area because of the acne and eczema he struggled with as a kid. He's able to grow a beard, but he prefers to keep clean-shaven. If anything he lets his goatee grow sometimes. He's been stretching his earlobes since he was about sixteen and has several gauges and piercings he enjoys wearing. He has several tattoos that have various meanings to him as well as some that he's gotten just for fun. Blue likes to stay active, his biceps and back muscles really starting to fill out now that he's older. He always has a content expression on his face, making him approachable to others.

Fashion sense: Blue has a practical fashion sense. He likes denim a lot, and wears it a lot when he works as well as plays. He owns loads of vintage shirts that he's "restyled" with a pair of scissors. Cutting off sleeves and cropping necklines and hems is his favorite pastime. The same goes for his jeans; he does enjoy a good pair of cutoffs. He's never owned a lot of shoes at the same time, often having a couple of pairs of sneakers and a couple of pairs of boots. He's pretty tough on his shoes as he does like to spend a lot of time outside, so he has to get new ones frequently. He has a lot of bandanas and hats and wears one more often than not. In the winter months, he sports his grandfather's fringe jacket or one of the many denim jackets he has. Blue loves jewelry and normally opts for leather or feather jewelry, made by his mother or the people in his community. He's also a fan of DIY crafts so he'll make his own.

A brief look into his life:

Occupation: While living with his mother in Grand Mitoka, Blue started working odd jobs to help with bills and save for a car. He's done plumbing and electrical work, dug wells, and has done various forms of farm work. When he was 17, he finally settled on a job with the Mitoka Sanitation Division. After studying at Mitoka State and at the Vivarium Institutes in Maeth, Blue now works in environmental management, seeing how he could best help his community and environment.

Miscellaneous facts:

He likes making up stories in his head but he's not super great at writing them down, so he just keeps a list of cool things he thinks about.

He found his pet raccoon, BeeBee, shortly before he moved to Mitoka.

Blue has lived in Sabra all his life and doesn't have a passport (yet).

Blue is an environmentalist at heart and has a passion for sustainable practices and recycling.

Blue smoked his first cigarette at age 10 and he definitely regrets it. He quit smoking cigarettes when he was fifteen but has since struggled with the addiction again.

Blue has been sensitive to paranormal activity, seeing and feeling presences since he was a little kid.

Blue can eat a whole bucket of fried chicken in one sitting. And definitely plans to do it again.

Story:

Blue was born in Brolin, Sabra to mother Winry Thunderhawk and father Steven Jones. He has three older half siblings: Ford, Celina, and Logan. His mother didn't live with his father at the time as he was still married to Blue's step-mother, Mckenna. Blue spent much of his early years between his mother and father's houses until his father divorced Mckenna and married his mother, Winry.

When Winry moved in, there were tensions between her and her step-children, specifically Ford and Logan. Ultimately, it led to a short-lived marriage and a nasty divorce. Due to her personal struggles with substance abuse, Steven won full custody of their son. He even went as far as to threaten Winry, warning her if she ever tried to come back into Blue's life, there would be consequences. Ultimately, the relationship ended with Winry moving back to Mitoka without her son. It wasn't a decision she wanted to make, but with Steven's wealth and connections, there wasn't much she could do to win her son back.

Blue grew up with his siblings, closest to his sister Celina. His two brothers, Fordham and Logan created a strained relationship with their siblings Celina and Blue with constant teasing, exclusion, and bullying. Although Steven didn't outright show favoritism to any one of his children, subtle behaviors and dynamics caused Celina and Blue to feel unwelcome in their own home.

This resulted in Celina reaching out to her biological mother, and willing Blue to do the same thing.

When Blue was fifteen, Celina had convinced him to go live with his mother to escape the discrimination and mistreatment by his brothers. Although Blue was sick of his life, he couldn't help but hope it would improve. However, at the news of his father's engagement to yet another woman, he and his sister Celina thought it was best for him to leave Brolin before the family dynamic changed for the worse.

When Blue arrived in Mitoka, he and his mother got along well. They enrolled him in the local school where he made lots of friends and had the experience he'd always dreamed of. Although he didn't have the luxuries he was used to, he was happy to spend that time bonding with his mother.

When he was old enough, around sixteen, he started working odd jobs during his time there. Eventually, Blue graduated from high school and was encouraged by his mother to attend a university. Through these avenues, he ultimately sets on the path to attend VIT in Esbat, Maeth where he meets his love interest, Minerva Migloire.

Now Presenting: Esbat Capital.

Esbat Capital is Maeth’s big, cosmopolitan capital city. Its center is the Cortez Circle, lined with stately Curdic-style buildings and commemorative statues including the Vivarium Fountain of Fallen Soldiers and the VIT, the Vivarium Institute of Technology (third photo) as well as an elegant shopping area. Other major attractions include Sabbat Slendid (second photo), a grand opera house with nearly 2,500 seats, and the modern SAMA museum, displaying maethisse, saudade and atawallpan art.

The National Library of Maeth (first photo) is another focal point, where people from all around the world can get their affiliation card to the library and are welcomed seven days a week from 8 A.M to 8 P.M.

As for the rest of the capital city of Maeth, El Paseo de los Artesanos near the port is a exquisite attraction worth visiting at any time of the day for a magical experience given that it’s also one of the biggest outdoor shopping places as a proper feria consciente and almacenes during the week days.

The Puerto Iluminado amusement park is just next to it, where kids and adults alike can ride on the Fortune Wheel and lots of other wonderful games, enjoying the view at the ocean by being really close to the Prime Grand Port.
