REQUIRED FOR ALL
History/Background:
Mint was the first child of Olesia and Athalus Vrihava in the city of Kalm, they were the basic family. Athalus worked in Midgar as a 3rd Class SOLDIER recently given the rank and Olesia was a stay at home mother, the family was small and slightly under paid but living in the regular, everyday life. It wasn't until she was six that it had all changed for the worse.
A scientist of ShinRa, Caleb, who was fired for insubordination and experimenting on subjects without the okay. He had angered Hojo enough and was released. He could not be settled enough just working as a biologist in Kalm, his mind wouldn't give him peace. Eventually, the darker he became, he finally did something despicable and kidnapped a child, Mint. When she was kidnapped, she was kept in his basement under various restraints while he did DNA splicing, chemical injection and various other things for the next four years on the young child.
It seemed that she might have "run away" or disappeared. Her parents distraught were forced to move on.
One could consider what Caleb did to be nothing short of abusive in different ways, mentally and emotionally more than physically. Her life there was spent in silence as speaking would get her some kind of punishment, he frequently passed her off as a sick niece if people ever saw her. The splicing and experimentation left her so changed that her hair had prematurely went white from the original colour of green and her peach skin to a paler, more sickly peach. Even her eyes had changed to an extent, becoming pink and quite strange to look at, even unsettling.
One night it changed, after four years, Caleb had accidentally been found by someone in town to be hurting a child. ShinRa MPs, a high ranking officer and two TURKS came to investigate. They found that he was harbouring a specimen, but due to his illegal actions he had hidden all the evidence before he was found. The evidence of Mint was enough and he was put in jail while Mint was "killed" or rather taken to ShinRa Labs to be tested on. The testing proved useless and she eventually became something of a shadow in a big room; not seen or heard, but there. The scientists believed her to be a mute as nothing really seemed to coax a sound from her, it was too strange and they had began treating her more like an animal than a person.
Whilst in captivity, she saw Sephiroth once appear and had become fantasized with him in a way a child is to a movie star. She saw him as something that had freedom, something that looked as she did but was free-living and she sought to be like that. After she heard his name, she feverishly tried to forget her own and went by Kitphiroth in her own head. This was something that not many would ever get from her lips as she refused to speak. It was a childish fantasy that she would get out and become strong like the General. Little did she know, those days were not to come so quickly or in any kind of timely manner. The next few years she spent in the labs was briefly met with a sort of friendship with a TuRk named Dyne Rose, he was tall, logical but passionate about his work and often preferred the laboratory. It was there when she first began to speak again with help from Dyne, being that he had grown a lolita-like attachment to her, he began to feel badly and thought of freeing her but his job had taken him away from it.
This abandonment angered Mint, she could not forgive him. The disappointment was something she never felt and she had started refusing to cooperate, needing more sedatives to keep her lulled. A few more years went by and she was finally met with a break out of specimens due to Cloud and company, but she was unable to be freed directly. Being that this was the only time, she managed to escape from the labs briefly.
Mint spent several months away, but she was only found after meteor was cast. During this, the black materia had exploded into a liquid and attached itself onto creatures and items, hoping to never be put together. Mint was one of these creatures and she went unconscious with this black and violet spot over her heart area, she was found in Junon by some men. Finally brought back to ShinRa, she was believed to have been some strange threat or she was incredibly ill. The scientists created a makeshift headset and containment tube, lowered her to the ShinRa basement and left her to basically slowly die as there was no possible way a specimen could live after ShinRa tower were to fall, right?
Name Mint "Kitphiroth" Vrihava
Alignment/Affiliation Independent/Neutral
Age: 17
Race: Human
REQUIRED FOR CUSTOM/NON-CANON ONLY
Appearance:
Mint stands at four foot ten inches, she has a smallness of stature in her petite frame almost seeming as if she was in life-size doll of beauty. Her face wasn't beautiful like a woman's face or like a piece of art, but more strange in it's own way. Mint's face had a high and smoothed jaw with a slight rounded point, giving it a heart-shaped look if anything, her silvery-white hair was set long and back with two high-arced bangs in front to further shape her face. Nothing about her appearance seemed to gather to something normal or everyday.
On top of having strange coloured hair matching a certain set of clones and silver-haired general, her skin was almost the exact shade of milk with a hint of peace for flavouring if you will. Mint's eyes held a strange hue of carnation or perhaps one could call it neon pink due to makou infusion. One could consider her having a child-like look from how little she's changed over the years.
Personality
Mint is a girl with a troubled, troubled past that seem almost stereotypical in a way. Due to her inability to interact with actual humans and always being alone, one could call her a perpetual loner that never really came to terms with how to be with people. Being lonesome was the only way she was taught, being locked up in rooms and containment units for experimentation left her with feelings like her life was forfeit at any moment with the flick of a switch or a sudden injection of some drug. Because Mint feels this way about her life, she's is usually ready to say something when she feels like she has the courage to do so.
One could call her both innocent and not innocent at the same time. She has never experienced a full life, so part of it has always been partially fantasy with big dreams that were never explored, realized or verbalized in anyway. At the same time, she knows the cruelty and compassion of some human beings, so she's not completely innocent in that way. One could consider her more childish in a manner, being that she never really matured to an adult age. Part of her childish behaviour comes down to her offering what one would be considered free worry and free love as they are new sensations and she only knows them in their simplest of forms. This kind of weakness makes it easy for manipulation in certain circumstances, but in others it is her age that keeps her relatively intelligent about her surroundings and others.
Mint is definitely more in her head, less talkative and speaks in almost a dark, cold tone in her blunt words. Some would believe her mute as she goes a while without saying anything until she believes it is more important or needed.
While she stands out in her own way, it's not enough to take away from the propagandist or antagonist of the story. Even if the main focus might be her, she never steals the limelight unless the time is right, but she's never so invisible one would wonder if she was important at all. She's a perfect supporting character.
Demeanour:
Mint carries herself as an introvert, she lacks emotional balance and has a difficult time expression her emotions plainly on her face. There is a lot of mistrust and she is often very mistrusting and it's obvious that she does not want attachments of any sort since the separation from her parents devastated her when she could no longer be with them at a young age. Although she is all of these things, she is generally very easily intimidated and finds it difficult to look people in the eyes or speak freely unless she feels it's alright.
Looking at her from the appearance, she seems quite harmless as if she would be an easy victim due to her size and disposition.
Abilities
The black materia allows her uses of various powers but because she only has one part of it, she can only use a small section of it's power.
She can teleportation, telekinesis and most kinds of kinesis that are elemental. As she regains parts of the black materia she'd regain more abilities in dark magic from it. Only when it's completed could she ever summon meteor, but she is only a vessel of sorts, she cannot cast it herself or randomly.
Weapons
She has no weapons, only 4 pieces of materia.
Cure, Final Attack, Revive and a Chocobo Lure.
OPTIONAL
