==Appearance==
Modesta is a woman of petite stature, standing at 5 feet 2 inches tall, which lends an air of delicateness to her presence. She maintains a healthy weight at 108 pounds, and her slender frame is the embodiment of grace and poise. Her appearance is marked by a subtle and unassuming beauty that captivates those who take the time to notice. One of Modesta's most defining features is her dull ashy brown hair, which cascades gently down to her lower chest. Her hair, while not strikingly bold in color, possesses an understated elegance that complements her overall appearance. It often carries a natural, wavy texture, adding to her charm. A distinct mole beneath her lower lip adds a touch of character to Modesta's face. Modesta has a penchant for wearing headbands to keep her hair neatly arranged above her face. This choice of accessory not only serves a practical purpose but also showcases her sense of style. Whether it's a simple and classic headband or one adorned with a subtle pattern or bow, Modesta's choice always complements her overall look.
==Characteristics==
Modesta's personality is a complex tapestry of contrasting traits that make her a captivating and sometimes enigmatic individual. At the forefront of her demeanor is a snarky and teasing nature, which she wields with a razor-sharp wit. Her quick and clever remarks often leave others both amused and slightly off balance, as Modesta has an uncanny ability to playfully poke fun at the quirks and idiosyncrasies of those around her. However, beneath this veneer of sarcasm and humor, there lies a smug attitude that she occasionally wears like armor. Modesta exudes an air of self-assuredness that can come across as confidence to some but as arrogance to others. Her self-assuredness can sometimes be a protective mechanism, concealing vulnerabilities that she is hesitant to reveal.
==Character Background==
=== HER REASONING OF BEING IN THIRLCREST. ===
Modesta's life story is one marked by exceptional academic prowess and a fateful incident that left a profound impact on her sense of trust and self-worth. In her formative years, Modesta was a standout student at a regular high school. Her dedication to her studies, along with her insatiable thirst for knowledge, propelled her into honor classes. It was within these advanced courses that she discovered a passion for learning and an environment that nurtured her intellectual curiosity. Despite her academic achievements, Modesta had a yearning for social connections, something beyond the classroom. She sought friendships with peers who could provide the companionship and emotional support she felt she lacked. In this pursuit, she befriended a group of individuals who, unfortunately, had a penchant for mischief. One ill-fated day, under the influence of these newfound friends, Modesta found herself persuaded to participate in a reckless prank—a daring act of lighting a firework inside the principal's office. The consequences were swift and severe. Modesta's world came crashing down as she faced the repercussions of her actions. The incident left her with not only disciplinary consequences but also a deep sense of shame and regret. This traumatic experience shook Modesta to her core. It shattered her trust in people and made her profoundly wary of forming new friendships. She became her own harshest critic, constantly putting herself down for her lapse in judgment and for allowing herself to be swayed by the influence of others. 
=== HAVOC HIVES ERA. ===
Havoc Hives, a secret group that seems to revel in chaos and intimidation, has been relentlessly threatening Modesta to take her boyfriend, Chase, into their fold. These threats have been a source of considerable stress for Modesta. The pressure to comply with their demands has left her feeling cornered, and she's been forced to make a difficult choice. While Havoc Hives may have the reputation of wielding fear and intimidation, She has shown weak determination and strength in refusing to give in to their threats-- all while staying neutral to them to prevent getting herself in trouble. She values her relationship with Chase deeply and refuses to allow external forces to dictate their course.
Her life has taken an unexpected and challenging turn as a series of bodily injuries have left her on edge and uncertain about the future. While she has fully recovered from her previous broken arm and ankle, a recent head injury has left her bewildered and apprehensive. The physical and emotional toll of multiple injuries has taken a significant toll on her. She has had to endure pain, recovery processes, and the frustrations of physical limitations. While she is grateful for her recovery from the broken limbs, the head injury has proven to be a more complicated and lingering challenge.
=== POST HAVOC HIVES ERA. ===
The end of the Havoc Hive marked a turning point in the tumultuous chapter of Modesta's life. The revelation that the orchestrators behind the chaos were none other than the former Archon, Oliver, and a former T-Times Journalist, Percy, sent shockwaves through the ThirlCrest Academy community. The unmasking of these seemingly respected figures as the architects of the Havoc Hive added an unexpected layer of betrayal to the already complex narrative. While the threat from the Havoc Hive was officially quelled, the scars it left on Modesta's psyche persisted. The trauma she experienced throughout the ordeal lingered, a constant reminder of the vulnerability and fear she felt during that tumultuous time. The sense of betrayal by individuals she once respected and trusted added an extra layer of emotional weight. The resolution of the Havoc Hive brought a semblance of justice, but it did not erase the challenges Modesta faced in reconciling with the traumatic events.
=== DEPARTURE, AND RETURN. ===
Modesta made the difficult decision to leave Thirlcrest Academy for what she thought was a better school. However, despite the new opportunities, she found herself missing her old friends more than she ever expected -- making her come back to the Academy. Meanwhile, back at Thirlcrest, Lucius, the hall monitor, was determined to see his plan through, striving to achieve peace in a peaceless land, or so she thought. When Modesta heard about Lucius's plan, she couldn't help but feel it was too idealistic, too far-fetched to ever become a reality. She tried to explain her doubts to Lucius, but he misunderstood her intentions, leading to a heated argument that ended with Lucius storming off, feeling hurt and betrayed.
=== BRUTALITY. ===
Modesta felt an overwhelming sense of guilt for the misunderstanding with Lucius, and she went after him multiple times to try to fix her mistake. After their second conversation, Modesta tried to explain everything, expressing her guilt and her desire to protect him from future harm. However, Lucius was so consumed by his own anger that he couldn't see Modesta's intentions. In a moment of blind rage, he brutalized Modesta, leaving her alone in the forest. Before running off, he muttered, "I'm sorry," leaving Modesta shocked and hurt by his actions.
=== PARANOIA. ===
After the incident in the forest, Modesta was left with a deep fear of Lucius. She avoided him at every opportunity, afraid of what he might do next. However, one day, when Modesta was about to be attacked by someone else, Lucius unexpectedly came to her protection. He swiftly dealt with the attacker, but to Modesta's surprise, he didn't even spare her a glance or a word. This left Modesta utterly confused. She couldn't understand why Lucius would come to her rescue after everything that had happened between them. Was it out of guilt? Or did he have some other motive? As she tried to make sense of his actions, Modesta couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to Lucius's behavior than met the eye.
=== AT FAULT. ===
Recently, Modesta found herself in a dangerous situation when she had to save someone from being kidnapped by the greasers, a notorious group at Thirlcrest Academy. Acting quickly, she called SHRIKE, the school's security or police on campus, who managed to catch the greasers in the act. As a consequence, the two greasers were suspended from school. However, their suspension only fueled their anger. In retaliation, they put Modesta on a hitlist, escalating the tension and danger surrounding her. Despite the risk, Modesta continued to stand up for what was right, even if it meant putting herself in harm's way. In another incident, Modesta was caught and taken away to town by unknown assailants. She was brutalized with wrenches and chains, left with a broken ankle, and possibly mangled ribs. 
=== REPETITIVE MISTAKES. ===
After everything she had been through, Modesta couldn't shake off thoughts about Lucius's concerning condition. However, trying to distract herself, she decided to write a slanderous article about the bruisers in the school, hoping to expose their wrongdoings, and how they were inactive. Her article, though, only seemed to make things worse. The bruisers, feeling threatened, began to hunt her down, seeking revenge for the damage to their reputation. Despite their efforts, Modesta managed to stay one step ahead, constantly on the run and seeking refuge with the authorities to protect herself. With both friends and foes hunting her, Modesta's path remains shrouded in uncertainty.
