Healer the sixth, Mina, whose character is based on the song I'm no angel by Dido.


Name~ Mina
Age~ 35
Currently Appearing In~ She's appeared in one minific, and that's it.
Orientation~ Straight
Origin~ Ni-Yana, capital of Raykin, about halfway down the Ra-Lin.
Significant Other(s)~ Husband
Background~ Mina was brought up in one of the high-class Ni-Yana villas as the second youngest of six children, but none of the six ever really knew their parents. Her dad was a workaholic and her mother was too much of a socialite to really take notice of her kids. Still, the six of them had a fantastic relationship together, so Mina doesn't really feel she missed out on anything there.
Initially she was furious with her parents for paying no attention to any of them, and ran away from home once with her brother when she was ten. If you know the slightest thing about Ni-Yana, you'll know they were both incredibly lucky not to have been killed. Even in the high end, the streets are no place for kiddies. By some kind of miracle tho, they ran into a healing house, and the healers there took them home.
Mina tho, she'd had a taste of freedom now, and she moved out of home, and Ni-Yana, as soon as she was able to, so not long after she turned sixteen. She caught a trading vessel and headed upstream towards Ni-Aneka. While she was on the boat, she fell for one of the sailors. He didn't return her feelings initially, but Mina proved to him that she could learn the ropes on the boat, and eventually won him over. Incedentally, she abandoned her ideas of going to Ni-Aneka and stayed with her lovely instead. Their relationship became a little strained after a coupla years, but they married when Mina was nineteen. Two years later, she had a little baby boy, then a second after another two years. Naturally she paid a lot more attention to them than her own mother had paid to her, and made sure that her husband did the same.
He~ wasn't really the fatherly type tho, so that set Mina off, and eventually he complied and played with the kiddies. Truth be told, their marriage isn't the strongest. He's accused her (not altogether unjustly) of oggling one of the other guys on the boat, she's tried to get them, several times, to get off the damn boat and get a house, because trading boats aren't the place for kids, so then they moved to Ni-Mytaa when Mina was 26. They settled in, Mina's husband got a job as a jewellery merchant, cos it's almost like trading, and everything was shiny for a year, until they were broken into and all the jewellery in the house, including Mina's own, was stolen.
That of course required another move, which very nearly tore them apart again because her husband had just gotten into the whole trading thing in Ni-Mytaa, and the only other place he was willing to live apart from a boat was Ni-Yana. Obviously Mina didn't want that, but reluctantly agreed anyway.
They quickly realised that living in Ni-Yana was considerably more expensive than Ni-Mytaa, so Mina started healer training at the palace healing house, leaving the kiddies to wander around the palace and have fun with camels and horsies and whatever else they could find. This of course gave the bois aspirations of getting into the army, so they're due to start training when they turn fifteen ^^ As the story stands, they're fourteen and twelve, so not much longer now X3 They want to have started earlier of course, and use 'may and Nol as their excuses, as has every little boy since the both of them got into the Own XD;
Employment~ Healer at the palace healing house, specialising in bone setting (strong muscles from working the boat)
Appearance~ Quite tall for a Raykinian woman, always looks tired because she's determined to spend time with her kiddies as well as work and keep the family supported, but she has a lovely smile when she uses it =3 Also, she's still got several little white dots all over her, cos she got chicken pox really badly as a kid.
Distinguishing Characteristics~ Most notably in regards to chicken pox scars, there's one just under her right eye, and another on her forehead just above where she puts her green healer dot =3
Quirks~ She has a bit of a bad habit of talking to some of the trainee healers as though they're her boys, which means either telling them what to do and expecting to get her way, or baby talking them XD;

Sin-of-Anger~ Got a bit of a temper, yeah, 'specially with her husband. When she hit thrity she realised just how badly she'd been treating him, so she's been trying to get a handle on it more recently.
Sin-of-Envy~ Occasionaly, but nothing major.
Sin-of-Pride~ She's incredibly proud of her boys, and is convinced, like so many mothers of boys in army training, that they're going to both get into the Own. No, neither of them know what weapon they want to persue yet. They're at the stage when they want to be good with EVERYTHING =0
Sin-of-Gluttony~ Nup, none of that.
Sin-of-Lust~ She has a crush on Kurae (I know, poor, deluded girl, ne? X3;) but she's loyal to her hubby ^^
Sin-of-Avarice~ She may come across as greedy, but she just wants the best for her boys. If that means moving cities twice in two years, then so help her it'll happen >O
Sin-of-Sloth~ Anything but. Tell this girl she can't do something, and she'll do everything she can to prove you wrong.
Virtues~ She's determined, we'll give her that much, and absolutely dedicated to her kids. She's also loyal to her husband. They have their tiffs, but they're definitely still togther ^^
