Minx is your average American teenage girl, appearance wise. She is about average height, pale, and skinny. Her strawberry blonde beach waves usually reach down to the small of her back, and she rarely straightens it. She has almond-shaped eyes and arced eyebrows that tine out at the ends. A typical outfit she would wear is dark skinny jeans and a t-shirt; she only dresses up for important events and prefers to sleep in yoga or sweatpants because they're comfortable. She hates rain boots because they're made of rubber and will where sneakers without rubber and flip flops.
| O D D I T I E S |
She has a scar on her right knee from falling on a corner of a cabinet and her skin is very pale. She also has a few scars from minor hiking accidents and other things. She does not have any tattoos, being too young to get one anyway, and she has a few freckles on her arms. Sometimes it seems to her like one of her legs is shorter than the other, too.

✦ Strong ✧ Cautious ✦ Feisty ✧ Impatient ✦

On The Outside: From a person looking in, no one can really tell who Minx really is, if they see her at all. To other people (strangers), she may seem withdrawn, aloof, a leper; she made herself this way so no one would see her and now she walks down the halls without one glance in her direction. If they try to talk to her, on a good day she may entertain it; she might smile and laugh and talk. But that is almost never what happens. What really happens is that she shuts them down right away, not bothering to waste her breathe. She doesn't want to talk to people about mindless things or gossip about other people; it's never been her style to talk behind people's backs, preferring confrontation over submission. Her dad may have taught her one thing after all. Minx isn't trying to be rude though, she isn't. She is honest to a fault and doesn't see the point in sugarcoating the truth anymore, taking a more straight-to-the-point stance. She also can be very snappy and feisty if people talk about her or pry into her life. It's her way of protecting her heart and scars, the parts of her that no one should or ever will know about. Making herself seem confident and proud in the eyes of others is easy; it's being herself that's the hard part.

On The Inside: On the inside is the Minx that no one knows, not even her father. She is ruthless, having been through far too much for someone so young. She was betrayed one too many times and no longer puts her faith and trust in anyone but herself. The world has pushed her around so many times that she really doesn't even know who she is anymore. She takes refuge in her books; it's her happy place, and she reads alone because she doesn't want people to see her reactions. Minx feels as though showing any emotion, happy or sad, is weird and wrong, and tries to seem tough and uninterested because of it. Deep in her heart burns a fire to keep going, to fight her way out and make it alive, to prove her father wrong. She is a survivor and a fighter and she never gives up. She is stubborn to a fault and it shows when she gets into arguments with anyone; her pride plays a role in it as well, so even if she knows she's wrong, she has trouble admitting it. There is more anger than there should be, at the world and at her life, but Minx tries to not let it take control. However, she does have an appetite for revenge, as I mentioned before.

The Hidden Part: This part of herself is hidden even from her. Her vulnerable side, her weak side. She doesn't like to admit that she has one, but deep deep down, her heart is screaming for someone to love her. She isolates herself from everyone; she does it to herself and she doesn't know that she is slowly killing the human part of her. Whether she has built up all of these walls for protection or not, they are suffocating her from the inside out and she feels trapped. Part of her wonders. She wants to see if someone is willing to break down her walls, if they're even able to. This is the part of herself that loves and cares for others, the one she suppresses because she thinks it's weak to do so. This is part that cares deeply for her grandparents and what people think about her. She is fragile on the inside, a normal teenage girl hardwired into the deepest parts of herself. This hidden part is hidden for a reason: It holds all of the pain she feels for losing her mother and never meeting her, her self-pity for being stuck with her dad for the rest of her life, her hatred for what she's become on the outside with no way to change it, and her confusion about herself and what she wants. She also fears being controlled and pinned down because of her father.

{"Every man for themselves."}

| P O W E R |
Electrokinesis is the power to manipulate energy across the electromagnetic spectrum, whether it's creating images, controlling technology, or generating electrical impulses. Her biggest weakness is rubber because it combats electricity. Minx has acquired this power because she has always had a fear of being weak. With the power to control electricity, she is very powerful and can control most things in this technology driven world. When she was little, her father used to threaten to hurt her and always had said he would leave her outside when it was storming or chain her to a stove and see how long it took for her to burn. She was always scared of even walking around the house or outside because of him, and now she doesn't have to be because she controls what she fears most.
| S T R E N G T H S |
✦Never gives up - Minx is a fighter, born and raised. While some could have let abuse like she experienced consume her, she rose above it and chose not to let it define her. It taught her an important lesson to always fight for what she wants because she sees giving up as a sign of weakness.
✧Intelligent - She is intelligent in the sense of common sense. She was an average student in school, getting A's and B's for the most part; Minx knows how to survive, to put it generally.
✦Sharp senses - She has a very good sense of hearing and seeing and tends to excel in hide-and-seek and telephone.
✧Chameleon - She is very invisible to the public eye, just a face without a name and one no one remembers. This actually plays to her strengths because she doesn't like being the center of attention and can go about her day without worrying.
✦Adaptability - Minx can live in any type of environment and doesn't mind change because it means more opportunities. She doesn't even take note or acknowledge when new things happen in real life because she's so used to surprises.
| W E A K N E S S E S |
✦Tenacious - She believes in her own opinions and will stick by it no matter what. This goes along with the never giving up part of her because she sees changing her opinion as a sign of weakness. Because of this, she can be very thick-headed at times and narrow-minded because she refuses to see other sides of the story.
✧Slow - Mentally, it may take her awhile to put together pieces of a puzzle if she thinks too hard. However, if she lets her mouth say the words for her, she tends to say things that she hadn't even realized yet but subconsciously knows it true. Minx is not the person that you want on battle strategy or looking for clues because it may take a while.
✦Candy - She is obsessed with candy and loves anything sweet. Twizzlers, Sour Patch Kids, Swedish Fish, Starbursts, Jolly Ranchers, you name it and she likes it.
✧Her Past - Her father's abuse has impacted her in many ways. She doesn't share it with anyone and it makes it seem as though she has secrets.
✦Selfish - After a life alone, she has learned to only care for yourself. It's every man for themselves in her book because everyone that she let near hurt her in the end. This is her way of trying to save herself, closing off her heart and putting barbed wire up for good measure.

✦Singing - Minx sings to keep herself happy and hopeful. It has been scientifically proving that singing will improve your mood, and she knows this. When she doesn't sing, she'll hum.
✧Dreaming - As sad as it may sounds, she spends most of her time imagining things that will probably never happen because she's in a hell hole. A lot of the times she'll think about running away, but she knows better. She mostly dreams about her Dad dying one day.
✦Planning - She plans ahead for everything she is able to. She hates surprises because she doesn't like not knowing things are going to happen, whether they are good or bad. She also thinks quite a bit and tends to plan her future that way.
| H A B I T S |
✧Biting her lip - When she thinks hard about something, she'll usually nibble at her lip absentmindedly. She doesn't even know she's doing it, but she does.
✦Planning Ahead - Not much to say about this one. She has to plan ahead to be ready and prepare herself. She doesn't like to be misinformed or cheated and this is her way of keeping herself safe.
✧Assuming the worst - Minx always assumes the worst, whether it's out of people or a situation or both. She hasn't had very much luck and kindness in her life, so she doesn't expect to get it back.
| L I K E S |
✦School - She likes school because it's the one place she can go for refuge without an excuse for her dad. And she genuinely enjoys the work because it keeps her mind busy and her thoughts subdued, a coping mechanism if you will.
✧Books - Minx has always loved books and they are the one thing she allows herself to enjoy. She has one bookshelf that is her pride and joy and she's read everything in it at least twice.
✦Thai Food - She has an obsession with any Asian food, but especially Thai. She loves using chop sticks to eat and the new culture and tastes. Pad Thai is her favorite because she has good memories of her grandparents with it.
✧Outdoors - If she is outdoors, she is either hiking or on the water somewhere. She loves the smell of fresh air and savors it whenever she can. Minx also tends to read outside when it's nice as well and doesn't mind insects and things around her.
✦Revenge - Minx is an avid believer in revenge; what comes to you is what you deserve and this is mainly aimed towards her dad. However, there was that kid in seventh grade that hit her with a dodge ball...
| D I S L I K E S |
✦Animals - She doesn't like animals in general because she is allergic to cats and dogs. She just tries to stay away from them because of it and has never had a pet of her own.
✧Ignorance - Minx hates it when people say ignorant things, whether it's about women's rights, race, or her own life. She just can't stand it and doesn't have the patience to deal with it.
✦People asking about her past and talking down to her - Don't pry into her life and she won't pry into yours, unless she really cares a lot. If someone talks down to her or makes her feel weak, she will simply prove them wrong in whatever fashion best fits the case. She also hates talking about deep, sensitive issues and will shut down if you try hard enough.
✧Being underestimated - Though some people would see this as a good thing, she doesn't. Being underestimated for her is like being called weak and stupid. Minx despises it because she feels as though she needs to prove them wrong; she doesn't like feeling wrong or feeling like others think she is wrong about anything.
✦Therapists - They pry into your life and try to fix things that they aren't even a part of. It's just creepy and wrong.
| G O A L S |
✦Leave - Once she is old enough to go to college, she wants to leave this horrid town of bad memories and never go back. She even wants to get out of the country if it's possible for her, but she would need money for a plane ticket and her dad won't pay for it.
✧Make him pay - She would rather die than see him get away with everything he did. His excuses are pitiful at best and he deserves to perish in Hell. She will see to that personally.
✦Power - Minx wants power and wants it badly. She doesn't want it for all of the wrong reasons, but again, she does want to punish her father and she will be able to do that with power. However, she also wants power over her own life again; she can go wherever she wants whenever she wants without having to ask permission. She wants to be able to have freedom and choices and spontaneous adventures.
| F E A R S |
✧Her dad - Though she may never admit it, she is afraid of her dad and all that he has and will do to her.
✦Being controlled - Minx is scared of being controlled by anyone and that's part of the reason why she isolates herself so much. Her dad has control of her, but she will break free. She doesn't date because she is afraid that they will be just like her father too; that would certainly be the only person she was allowed to date at least.
✧Heights - She is terrified of heights and fears the fall back down. She hates planes and the top bunk of bunk beds because of this, and also because she doesn't control if she falls or not. She's just along for the ride.

{"I'll always be looking over my shoulder, no matter how much you think you can change that."}

"'Born on November 22, 1999 in Pasadena, CA to Deven and Fiona Monroe at approximately 0325 hours' is what it says on my birth certificate. What it should say is 'Born on November 22, 1999 in Pasadena, CA at 0325 hours. Mother pronounced dead at 0325 hours.' I share a birth date with a death date because I killed my mother." When Minx was born, her mother died, and she blames herself because of it. It was a C-section; there had been complications with the birth and she had been on bed rest for a month before that, losing her appetite and weight systematically. By the time her water broke, she was too weak to have a natural birth, though that was what they had planned. While they were preforming the C-section, her mother's heart starting malfunctioning, as if it couldn't bear to have it's daughter departed from it. She went into cardiac arrest and as she was given a time of birth by one team, another team gave her mother a time of death. Minx's father has always blamed her for her mother's death, which is why he is the way he is now. Supposedly, he wasn't always abusive and cruel, not when Fiona was with him.

When Minx was growing up, she evaded her father whenever she could. He drank quite a bit and was angry when he got drunk. Then he would search for a target and his eyes always seemed to find her. Always her. After he would hit her and she would cry on the floor, not knowing what else to do. She hated him, she knew it, but he was her father and daughters are supposed to love their fathers. The next day would come and he would slink into her room at ten in the morning with a headache and apologize for doing what he did. They would go out for ice cream to make it up to her. Being so small and helpless at the time, she agreed with him and always forgave him in the end, thinking that that was what she was supposed to do. But as she grew over and the beatings continued, she started to realize that his promises were empty ones and he would never stop being the way he was. Minx remembered him bringing women home while he thought she was asleep and hearing loud bangs in the room next to her and noises she couldn't explain. As she grew older, she came to understand what he was doing and how much he had lied to her. That was when she knew she couldn't trust him anymore; it only made it worse on herself.

When she was twelve, her father attempted to remarry some slut he probably found on the street. Minx hated that bitch; she acted like she cared about her and that she could change her father, but when he wasn't around, she would whisper taunts to her, make her think that she was worthless. Needless to say, it didn't work out, but not because her safety was in danger. No, it was because it turned out she wasn't good enough in bed for Deven. He threatened to pull her out of school after that idiot, blaming everything on her. She went to public school anyway, so he wasn't even paying anything worth something to him. She obviously wasn't learning anything if she wasn't smart enough to keep her mouth shut. When she was fourteen, she was going to run away. She had a bag pack and everything, but the night she was ready to go, her father stumbled back from the bars early and caught her trying to hail a cab. The locks were re-enforced and a new alarm system was installed to ensure that she wouldn't get out again.

Her and her father just recently moved to Point Place, Maine because he finally got a job that was well-paid. This new house doesn't have that nightmare of a security system or all of the locks, just her worst enemy sleeping in the next room over. She truly hates him and cannot find it in herself to play the perfect daughter act any longer. She planned to run again, the night of the storm, the day she got detention for not paying attention for the third time in a row. A lightning bold struck the classroom she was in with about 13 other kids in it and the teacher. Once detention was dismissed, the storm had died down a little. Minx wasn't hurt or anything, but she wasn't stupid either. She knew she couldn't stay out there in the storm and forced herself to go back to her house, earning herself another beating when she found her father up and waiting in the family room. She cried herself to sleep that night, angry at herself for backing out and vowing that she would leave again. The next morning, she didn't notice anything different about herself besides the new bruises and cuts on her body. It took her four days to realize that something was wrong and then she thought she was crazy. She couldn't control the sparks that jumped from her hands and surrounded her outside one day. She couldn't control it when her father beat her and suddenly the microwave exploded and she screamed. She thought she was a freak and wanted to keep it hidden; she knew how mental hospitals were, the stories that came out of them. You went in and you never left, and as much as she hated her dad, she hated the prospect of dying more. So Minx coached herself to control her lightning, to control her deadly power in small doses. As she worked with it, it seemed to grow stronger and she can now feel electrical pulses in buildings, power lines, computers and phones and projectors. It's maddening, not comforting and she can't make the awareness stop. When she uses her ability, she gets light-headed and shaky because Minx can't use it for a long period of time. She is still learning to control it.

Minx does have a dad, but she doesn't really consider him family because of his cruelty towards her and others. Her mom died giving birth to her; it was a C-section gone wrong, is what she was told. She never had any siblings that she knows of, and as a result was isolated from the rest of the world. Her dad does have a sister though; she isn't unkind, but she isn't the most likable person in the world. Her favorite family is her mother's parents, her grandparents, because they are normal and bake her cookies and take her out to movies. They are why she is still sane.
