Past: Mina was turned at a young age and yet, still supported by her family. After several years of running and hiding, her and her family were found and intended to be executed. Before they were, another vampire intervened that was in rule of the area and instead of killing them, he ordered that Mina’s parents be turned in order to care for and be able to follow their turned daughter.
Once Mina’s parents had agreed to be turned, they were released again and the three of them fled across the world to Romania. They lived there for 200 years in solitude, until a vampire by the name of Drojcian Winterove, started war in the land to claim it and brought terror to everything in the peaceful country.
Before the war turned chaotic, Mina, her mother and father served in established military hospitals for kindred and humans. Whomever fought for the 60+ years that the Winterove storm overtook the area was treated by whomever had enough medical knowledge to try to save lives.
When the war finally hit it’s pique and even vampires were being taken as prisoners of war, the hospitals and medical provisions were no exemption. Despite proper warning, their building was flooded and several vampires and humans were taken under siege. Mina had lingered too long, helping stragglers escape and in the raid, she was captured and separated from her family and home-life.
Upon decided execution, the captives were taken to Drojolnir and when Mina was last in the line of corpses; his son Decian stopped her execution and told his father he wanted to keep her as a pet and a trophy; ‘not having seen vampires look like her’ before.
Decian was given reign and control over Mina and she was kept in his servitude and torture for 100 years. Once she hit her breaking point, she went into a severely starvation and rage induced frenzy and killed Decian, as well as his entire family. His wife, two daughters and infant son. Three children of the rarest happenstance of vampirism and five purebloods.
When she escaped, she went back to her birthplace to find an established city where they’d left off of rural farmland. She slowly began a new life from the ground up and all the while, faced the haunting reality she’d left behind. With no one knowing her past, origins or history; she was able to start over and even the meager start of poverty was nothing in comparison to her years in Decian’s care.
After another century, Mina was able to establish herself and in the meantime, find care for the ghosts of her past. As society evolved and became more inclusive of vampires and their illnesses and ailments, she found care and eventually was fostered into a program to match donors and vampires.
This was when Mina met Andreia and for the first time in decades, she was able to establish a routine and piece herself back together in the meantime.
~Personality~
Hobbies: Photography, cooking, occasional knitting/sewing. Reading, editing the website for the gallery. (For real, she actually enjoys it, it’s past her job description.) Drawing from time to time but she isn’t much of an artist.
Strengths (mental/emotional): Compassionate, easy to relate to others. Brave and selfless with loved ones. Intuitive and observant, a very fine eye for details and a strong memory.
Weaknesses (mental/emotional): Easily seeded with doubt and easy to distress with outcome. Weak to noticing how much she affects others, blinded by linear objectives. Low self-esteem and easy to convince she’s the problem, a monster, etc.
Strengths (physical): Unsusceptible to pain, extremely resistant. Strong and fast but stealthier than either. She’s very poised and light on her feet, especially if she needs to be.
Weaknesses (physical): Semi-brittle bones, easy to break and a bit too mortified skin, leaving it tough and making average movement a bit stiff and generally painful.
Dreams: Living in peace and finding someone to live life with. Adopting a child or getting to raise a human baby would be another long-term dream. A bit more eccentric; to have a really grand, ballroom style wedding. (And of course, getting to free Lukas. But she thinks of that more as unassured reality.)
Fears: Being enslaved again. Finding out Decian is somehow still alive. Going into a frenzy and killing Andreia or Desmond. Relapsing to how she was when she had her mental collapse. Being starved again and being buried alive.

~Favorites~
Food: Her favorite human food was sweetbread or caramel bread. She still likes soft breads/cinnamon rolls and will pick at them for the flavor, but too much will make her sick.
Drink: Coffee. Anything outside blood for her is going to be coffee related. She also likes dry red wines from time to time.
Season: Winter. When everything is covered in snow and chilly.
Holiday: She doesn’t really have a favorite but she really enjoys pride parades now that they exist.
Aesthetic: Spacious, ‘homey’ and decorative. Modern, sleek and clean looking but not too sterile. A bit regal, luxurious. Likes to buy things that are durable and will last longer than if it’s purchased cheaply.
Kink(s): Being given/taking control, restraining her partners (especially with her touch adversity, this is very satisfying), loud/vocal partners, riding on top or dry humping, her neck being kissed or sucked on. Nails down her back where it’s numb from scarring.
Trait(s) in a partner: Passionate, adaptable kinds of personality. Unafraid of showing her their bad side or how messy they can be, human, natural. Greedy for pleasure but more submissive in the bedroom, more autonomous in their every day lives. Sweet/cute things mean a lot to her and if her partner is the sentimental type, it’s an automatic yes.
Relationship Favorite(s): Holding hands while driving or walking. Kissing fingers or noses or foreheads. Small public kisses or hugs, ones that are well timed when she’s getting nervous. Bathing/showering together; floating in a pool together is good too.
~Appearance~
Eyes: Emerald Green.
Hair: Brown-black.
Skin: Naturally darker skin tone, gets a bit pale in the winter. Clear complexion, freckled generously.
Teeth: Dainty fangs, barely noticeable past the 'human' tooth line. They extend double their length at the pique of blood lust and in total are 5mm in length past natural alignment. [.5 cm]
Fashion preferences: Soft and feminine but easy to move in. Mina doesn't like restrictive clothing, it triggers her anxiety pretty badly to wear anything intensively binding.
Tattoos: On the left side of Mina’s head, on her scalp is a crest tattooed into her skin with a filigree ‘W’ in the center. It’s around 7.6cm long and wide and made of black ‘inksticks’ imported from China. This was done as a way of determining who she belonged to, if she were to escape Decian in the past.
Scars: Mina has scarring that spans from the back of her neck around her hairline, all the way to the tops of her thighs. Some is smooth and other is rippled and textured. Her thighs are thatched with scarring from torture in the past and there’s striped, pale lines on the backs of her ankles from her tendons being cut. She also has a thin, whiting scar around the entire circumference of her neck save for 2.6cm in the back towards her left shoulder.
~Other~
Languages (spoken/read): Romanian (s/r), English (s/r), Swedish(r) and Russian(s).
Alcohol tolerance: Low, irregularly low
Drug tolerance: Intolerant, easy to poison, and intoxicate.
Zodiac: Sun | Saggitarius - Ascendant | Virgo - Moon | Virgo
Chinese Zodiac: Rabbit
Personality type: INFP-A
Vampiric Ability: Past recollection or ‘psychic’ powers based off of residual energy. Objects, items, imprints and even lingering physical presence and trigger an event or memory to be picked up by her senses/power. This is incredibly strong with other vampires and emotionally driven moments in time or asserted presence. Metal is very conductive in this case, as it would be with electricity. (Door knobs, car doors, railings, side-walk plates, train tracks, etc.) Visions can last anywhere from two seconds of real time to five to seven minutes. The longer the vision or glimpse backwards into the past; the more aggressive it is on her body and the more blood it tends to burn in her system. There can be side effects if it happens long term or repetitiously in a single day. This can include: headaches, nausea, nosebleeds, ringing ears, spotty vision and weakness of muscles for the duration of the trigger. Unlike other vampires unique abilities; Mina’s cannot be used at will and isn’t outwardly destructive or manipulative to human psyches. Her ability doesn’t enable any benefits to aid in feeding and it holds little worth or purpose in combat or assault. Due to this ability, it has helped fine tune her observational skills and has helped her gain information in situations she wouldn’t have any, prior. One of the largest assets to her escape.
