My Name Is: Wilhelmina Grimassi
You May Call Me: Mina
Proud to Be: Female
I Prefer: Men (heterosexual)
My blood is of: Traditional Vampire
Years Fly By: 300 years
Dwarfed By The Trees: 5'10"
Outweighed by the Stones: 145 lbs
Profession: Owner of Grimalkin's Cafe
Gifted by Blood:
~Telekinesis (can only pick up things that weigh less than two hundred pounds. Anything she does lift is surrounded by a pale blue aura)
~Telepathy (limited-only if very close to a person)
~Empathy (can sense a person's emotions, eitther residual or active. If they are powerful enough, they can affect Mina physically, often through headaches)
I Wield: Twin black 9mm handguns and twin black-hilted dirks. Both sets bear silver etchings of Celtic-styled rose vines.
What The Eyes Behold: Many a mortal man has viewed Mina as an enigma; pale skin, waist-length hair like starlight, and eyes that shine like the Harvest moon. Yet her solemn look, and that bit of proudness in the way she carries her healthily built form, has deterred nearly all of them. The signs of one who has seen much and experienced more are hidden deep within the golden pools of her eyes, for her flawless skin rarely shows the many things she has had to deal with. Normally, Mina dresses in Gothic clothing, quite often a simple black corset top and a matching floor-length skirt. Her shoes are simple, black dress sandals, and her arms bear rather lacey fingerless gloves. Those who have seen her would best describe her as aristocratic, elegant and beautiful without the trappings of most. But the vampress prefers to dress casually, often in a tube top and baggy cargo pants, when not working, reflecting the nineteen-year-old she once was.

The Beauty And The Beast: At her best, Mina can be seen as the kindest, sweetest person you could ever want to meet. She tends to act as the counselor and big sister, treating her friends like family and looking after everyone. Most know her as being calm and kind, rarely, if ever, showing signs of irrational behavior, and she isn't afraid to speak her mind. Being usually quiet, she is also bluntly honest, not afraid to point out the flaws in everyone including herself. The vampress also has a soft spot for children and animals, meaning she will be nicer to them on a first meeting.
But beware once you do cross the line of Mina's tolerance. Her worst half can be best described as cruel, caring little for the emotions of those who have angered her. Kindess is replaced by malice, and her compassionate nature becomes a twisted nightmare of its former self. She has never had to lose her temper recently, though, so not many can see Mina regressing to such a state. But it has happened, so its not impossible to see her like this.
A more common sight of the vampress is when she is lamenting. Mina does not approve of the war, seeing the violence as foolish and unecessary. War, she has learned over the years, always produces feelings of hatred and despair, affecting her mood quite often. The bloodshed bothers her more, for innocent people get killed for something they were never involved in. Thus, Mina tends to avoid this topic all together, regardless of how pressing it is. And don't expect her to immediately choose sides either.
Mina has mixed feelings regarding the other races. She sees humans as food, but because she has watched and been fascinate by their behavior for several centuries, she treats them equally to other vampires. Psychic vampires? Well, honestly she envies them. Mina sees their method of feeding as less noticeable as traditional vampires. While wary, she remains friendly to all races, even to Lycans and werewolves, for the vampress is an open-minded individual, even with her own prejudices against certain individuals. As such, her cafe is neutral ground; she will not tolerate the war spilling inside for the sake of fighting.

This Is My Field: Mina's strength tends to lie with her morals, and her own, unique stubborness. She refuses to stand down to anyone, even someone she cares for. Being vampiric graces her with above average strength, and she's impossibly patient, willing to use years of experience in any argument or fight.
Yet I'm Vulnerable: Apart from the typical weeaknesses and flaws of a normal vampire, Mina's worst weakness is her empath powers. Too many emotions in one place tend to give her a debilitating headache. She also is too willing to trust, trying to see a brighter side to every shadow, and even quicker to become attached to someone she really loves. The vampress can also be a little reckless in a fight, too willing to defend the weak to be concerned for herself and too stubborn to leave someone vulnerable.
