Body type: Dancer’s build. Not very curvy at all, but she pulls this off nicely.
Distinguishing physical features: A typical doll-like beauty. Sparkling sapphire eyes are set between high cheek bones and slender eyebrows. Her lips are pleasantly situated between thin and lush, neither terse nor plump. A pert nose divides her symmetrical face, which is complimented by the asymmetry of her side-cut bangs. Her body is built more like that of a gymnast’s or a dancers, but rather than withdraw from her attractiveness, the confidence that she infuses her carriage with gives her an alluring and even exotic appearance.

Personality


Likes: New sensations! Black cherry ice cream, kittens, rain, snow, bright and warm sunny days, thunder storms, rainbows, dreaming, dancing, feeling, singing, experimenting, knee high socks, zebras, board games, fresh fruit, eating in general, sleeping, reading, traveling, mud squishing between her toes, nail polish, espresso.
Dislikes: Soggy cereal, too much pain, death, the very idea of having to return to the underworld, badly behaved children, most other demons, being thwarted, burned toast, gin, dead leaves.
Strengths: When given the time to rove over all of the small components of the bigger picture, Mina is a rather proficient individual. She’s a voracious reader and tends to absorb anything from mundane to eclectic into her personal library. Her attention to detail is likely unparalleled, and when she is given the right motivation and occupation, there is little than can stand in her way in completing a task. If there's a definition for 'fast learner' in the dictionary, her picture would be beside it.
Weaknesses: Of course, the opposite side of the coin shows that she can be overbearing and possessive, fiercely jealous of anything and everything that she considers ‘hers’, and this includes portions of work. She comes across as arrogant at times, with her knack for “doing it better” based on the plethora of experience that she has accumulated in a relatively short time.
Five words to describe (personality, not physical): Obsessive, compulsive (but not Obsessive Compulsive), meticulous, whimsical, wrathful.
General impression (ie uptight, quiet, sexual, etc.): Mina often obsesses about miniscule details. With this being the case, she often loses sight of the bigger picture because she is so focused upon the smallest possible nuances. She can seem childish with her constant questioning and answer-seeking. At times, she can be fickle, especially when thwarted in whatever she had been pursuing at the time. Like most demons, she has the potential to be destructive and malicious, but this tends to ebb away when she is distracted by whatever shininess or fancy that she is occupied with.

History


Important (non-DG) family members: No family, but she has an albino rat named Garnet, and a box tortoise named Pandora.
Family members in Dangerous Game:
Vital notes on history (ie was a soldier, accidentally killed spouse, former opera singer, etc.): She is absolutely terrified at the possibility of returning to the underworld. Adamant about remaining in her mortal shell, Mina distracts herself from this quaking, all-consuming terror by keeping herself busy with all manner of tasks. Most recently, she has taken up dancing, painting and song-writing.

In the underworld, she was often in charge of herding the particularly miscreant and putrid souls. This was done without much complaint, but now that she has ‘seen the light’, so to speak, she has been on her best behavior to keep from having her sabbatical revoked.
