|| talents || Potions; Minnie has always been a fan of potions and, if working in the ministry doesn't pan out, would love to become a potioneer.
Quick Learner; Minnie can pick up most things fairly quick. This includes information about people and studies alike. She also loves learning in general and can be found reading when she isn't socializing.
Reading Body Language/Emotions; Minnie is very good at reading body language and the emotions on faces as well as catering to people's changing emotions. For example, if the person she's talking to seems bored, she'll quickly switch around the conversation to something they like.
Social; Minnie is very good at interacting with people and keeping them engaged in a conversation as well as putting on a generally likable front.
|| weaknesses || Emotionally Detached; While she might seem very happy and emotional, Minnie is actually very emotionally detached from people and has difficulty expressing her emotions.
DADA; The only subject she doesn't excel in. Minnie is not horrible at Defense Against the Dark Arts, but her strengths lie in the academic aspects of it rather than the in practice aspects of it.
Fear; Minnie does not handle her fears well and prefers to run away from fear rather than facing it.
Not Knowing; Being ignorant or left in the dark about something tends to drive Minnie into near neurotic frenzies until she gets the information she wants.
Minerva Woods, on the other hand, is much different story. While Minnie portrays herself as sweet and selfless, she is actually very calculating. One of her biggest goals in life is to be well-liked. While she is generous, she is not selfless. Any help she gives is a calculated risk as to what she might get in return. That's not to say she doesn't care about people though. She cares about some people, but for the most part, she is very judgmental and rude in her head. She doesn't let that side show though.
She is a very private person, a fact that most overlook considering how much she talks. She rarely expresses her own opinions or ideals and almost never talks about her personal life. As a result, she is remarkably good at lying. She doesn't view anybody as a close friend despite some people confiding her deepest secrets to her. She is very loyal and would never sell out those secrets though. She just likes knowing things and wishes she could know everything. She can sometimes come across as a smartass and is often very sarcastic in her mind. She is very emotionally detached from other to the point where she doesn't know how to show her actual emotions and panics when she doesn't understand what's going on.
Because her parents lived in the muggle world, Minnie found herself thrown into the system headfirst. It was a horrible experience that resulted in a lot of bullying and a deep depression. She spent about a year and a half there until her maternal grandparents managed to locate her. They took her to their cottage in Scotland and tried their hardest to give Minnie the best life they could. But the damage had been done. Their sunshine Minnie Woods had been damaged. She spent a few months rebelling and being generally hateful.
Eventually, her grandmother managed to get through to her after she broke some flower pots. They talked and her grandmother explained that being outright hateful wasn't going to help her find friends or allies. Young Minerva decided that her advice meant that she should hide the more manipulative and calculating side of her nature.
