Character Sheet - Mireya (Castillo) Manzanares Herrero
Species:
Human
Sex:
Female
Age:
42
Height:
Around 1.56m / 5' 1"
Hair:
Rust blonde, short and layered hair before the divorce. Now her hair is usually unkept.
Eyes:
Clear caramel.
Skin:
Peach colored before the divorce. Now she looks very pasty and at least a tad unhealthy.
Particularities:
Her left cheek has three straight cuts going upwards; glass from an exploding container.
Has a very big backside compared to the rest of her body.
Her face, while having bags under her eyes and looking tired, is very damn pretty.
Freckles marking her face!
Very good memory that she uses to have hours-long conversations with topics she loves, or brick up the moment she is engaged in a topic she doesn't care for.
While not really vengeful or mean, that memory also makes sure she doesn't forget anyone that does her dirty. She will not use it against anyone, but she will not let it go neither.
However, thanks to the natural vindictive nature of her family, her mind DOES come with bad shit to do. Generally it means nothing in the end, but it may develop into attempts and errant thoughts that may make things uncomfortable or downright nasty sometimes.
Good with numbers, which made her double as the one taking care of the finances at work.
Interests:
She owned a bar, or well, a dinner. She likes cooking, serving people (generally sweet stuff or low grade alcohol) and the interactions it brings.
Being loved. As in having people to dote on her and then caring for them in return. It is a super relaxant for her.
Foggy days, though these were very rare where she lived, so it is mostly an unknown to most. She loves sitting next to a window when the fog rolls around and when the rain falls heavily around the house.
Dramas. For some reason she loves to be sad when it is someone else's life. Has learned that the feeling of being sad because of her own fuckups is not nearly as rewarding to her.
Has a thing for having a clean table all prepared, even if its not going to be used. Possibly as a remnant of her time with the bar/dinner.
Magic Affinity (If Applicable):
None/Unknown?
Attire:
Has never had any real preference, but if she has to pick? Jacket, shirt, pants and formal shoes as a regular outfit.
Unsurprisingly, likes something nice and casual for work, which also works for most of her outings if she doesn't have her 'prefered' clothes as an option.
Likes jewelry, generally earrings, perhaps a ring. Nothing TOO flashy, but wouldn't say no to silver at least…
Absolutely adores dresses, high heels and very feminine clothing, but has never felt deserving of them. After the divorce, this desire has gone drown the drain.
Physical:
A relatively small woman with a beautiful face and absurdly big backside, Sofia looked like a cute, motherly women in love with her children and husband, always with a big smile on her face and a pep on her step. Thin, but well built, with slender legs, well manicured hands and perfectly cared arms, she still had some strength from constant physical labor by working at the bar she owned, with a peach colored skin that got tanned every so often during Summer. Nowadays she looks dreary; pasty skin, bags under her eyes, rare smile if ever present, and with nerves and sadness having eaten away at her, making her a bit thinner and weaker physically than before.
Personality:
Mousy and silent unless something she had interest in hits her, she can be even more quiet if something she doesn't like goes her way. Otherwise vocal, even pushy, if something she considers (and knows is) wrong crosses her. Generally polite, motherly and friendly to family and friends alike.
All of that was Mireya way back when. It would look like a lifetime ago. Mireya was the kind of woman you'd think would fit perfectly as a bookworm, and indeed she did like reading, but, much like her mother, her heart was on the kitchen, seeing it as an art as much as a great duty to have. A very dutiful person with all that said, Mireya also was capable of great smarts, specifically on the math side of things, something that, for reasons even she didn't know about, was interesting to her. This interest didn't push further than the one she had in cooking, but it made sure to help her with numbers when it came to paying bills. It all mixed together to make a reliable and dependant woman.
But all have dirty little secrets inside. While usually gentle and able to withstand any kind of verbal abuse, her mind does not forget, being capable of retaining almost everything. As such she does keep a list of those that hurt her or her children in her mind, including her own family. Usually the vengeful thoughts and dark ideas mean little, but sometimes idle thoughts push her to do things she later regrets. And regret, and sadness, is a great part of her psyche, as the shy woman, incapable of forgetting, keeps bashing herself with her own failures time and time again.
This darker side of her nature took hold of her life after the divorce. Constantly eating at herself after chasing away the love of her life, Mireya has turned into a sad, constantly regretful woman that is afraid of everything, incapable of enjoying anything, food included, and caring of nothing at all, seeing herself as soon becoming a lonely person left behind by everyone. Self hatred, depression and constant doubt are clear traits in her most negative thoughts, making the once lovable but shy woman into a person afraid of speaking most of the time.
What song or music would fit:
Alone. Pretty much her mental state most of the time. Well hidden, but still there.
Visual Aid (if any):
None yet!
