  • Fashion inspiration

    Melinda is picky. Here's a few things she /might/ wear. She likes neutrals, blues, and greys and never dresses below business casual. She's loosely set in the 90s, but is remarkably fashion forward and wears things that well-tailored and feminine. She generally wears skirts.

    Loose celebrity face inspiration is Louise Brealey, but interpretation can be taken particularly in exaggeration of the size of her eyes.

  • Description

    Every inch of her five foot body is like a tightly coiled spring; it is under her tight control, and yet it seems if ever it were to snap she would come undone in every direction. She often wears a grave expression, large serious eyes, and a formal attire. It is rare to ever find Melinda more casual than business casual. She keeps her long hair, which reaches perhaps her mid-back, in a tight bun at the back of her head. Her body type is very small and petite -- not unhealthily so, but she possesses little in the way of excess body fat and muscle.

    Melinda is ruthlessly cunning and highly intelligent. She can easily memorize minutia and has optimized every manner of executive function. She is organized, uses every moment of her time efficiently, and always finishes tasks within the timeline she sets aside. She also has a gift of language and can pick up new ones with more ease than most. She is observative of others so that she can turn their own insecurities against them.

    Her weakness is her anxiety. She often has it mastered under the order and structure she has created for herself, and yet in the face of that which she can't control, her fear can more easily be the master of her. This particularly comes into play with supernatural beings with power that far surpasses her own and cannot be controlled by her fear tactics she often uses on others. She nonetheless will try, and not entirely unsuccessfully, but she can still be played.

    Her other weakness is her adoptive sister, Jackie. They are as different as the night and day, and yet her devotion to her sister's well being is unanticipated. Where most of her actions are carefully measured before execution, the actions she often makes in regard to her sister are less so. She becomes more careless and impulsive -- perhaps not by much, but enough so she can find herself in harm's way. It is only to Jackie she's ever shown to be unselfish.
