Mint

## Mint Lamiaceae

### Description

Half of their body is made of an unknown magic, which is likely the reason they are gifted in the mystical arts. This magical substance provides them with extra protection and the ability to access a storage space out of thin air equivalent to 9 chest slots (better explained in the backstory). When asked about their origin, Mint tells people that they're a Shulk, but doubts that it's true.They don’t like to judge a book by it’s cover and prefer to get to know a person before creating an opinion of them, even if said person is a known murderer.

## Backstory

Mint was born into a human town with wealthy parents, but somehow, they were not human. Being disgusted by and afraid of his child, Mint's father abandoned them and their mother not long after their birth, so they never knew him. Since the humans in their village feared origins and magic, for Mint's protection their mother made sure that they never left the estate, which was surrounded by a stone wall. As the years went by, Mint learned to cook so their mom didn't have to and enjoyed spending time rearranging the furniture of the mansion, gaining a love of interior design. Around the age of seven, they learned of a power they possessed. With their left hand, Mint would draw a square in the air that, when completed, would reveal a little space that could be used to store items. It was only ever able to have a space equivalent to that of nine chest slots, no matter how large or small Mint drew the opening. It was confusing at first, but they grew fond of it and enjoyed having a place to hide their treasures.

Mint loved their life, even if they always had a nagging wonder of what was beyond the walls. Unfortunately for Mint, they would soon learn... One day around Mint's 14th birthday, to try something new, they were sitting in one of the taller trees in the front yard. Not paying enough attention to how close they were to the wall, Mint climbed around in the tree and made quite the racket. A passerby noticed the noise and watched the tree curiously until they saw Mint's half purple face pop out. Scrambling away in fear of the "monster" they saw, this person quickly ran to inform the rest of the town. It wasn't long until there were people climbing over the walls and kicking at the front door to find Mint.

Their mother, who had been preparing for this day, gave Mint a survival kit of tools, materials, and lots of pre-cooked food. Rushing Mint into the kitchen, she picked up a cabinet next to the sink to reveal a ladder leading into a tunnel. She hugged her child tight and told them that they needed to go. Mint sobbed and begged their mother to come with them, not wanting to leave her. In this town, harboring an origin was punishable by death and the townsfolk were unlikely to show any mercy. Holding back tears, their mother whispered a soft “I love you, darling,” right before pushing Mint down the ladder and quickly placing the cupboard back on. As they fell, Mint heard the sound of a knife flying through the air and a thud as its target fell to the floor. Their mother was dead. In desperation, Mint ran at the ladder to climb back up and reach their mother, but a redstone mechanism broke the ladder and created obsidian in its place just before they could reach it. Grief stricken and terrified, Mint ran and ran and ran down the tunnel, until they couldn’t run any more and collapsed into a sobbing mess.

After a while, they ate some of the food their mother had packed and kept moving. The tunnel seemed to go on for ages, but it eventually let out into a grassy meadow thousands of blocks from home. No. It’s not home, not anymore…

Not sure what to do, Mint kept going, making a small camp every night along their journey into nowhere. Through that time, they began to enjoy the never ending trip, seeing all the different biomes and ancient structures. They were finally seeing the world beyond the walls. Eventually, they became lonely. As the months went by, they had passed through many villages and even a kingdom or two, but never thought of settling down. It had been a year since their mother’s death now and their 15th birthday was just a month away, it was not a time to be alone, their mother wouldn’t have wanted that. So, Mint decided that at the next civilization they came across, instead of passing through and continuing on, they would settle down and try to make some friends. Not all people were like the humans that killed their mother, Mint had learned that much. After another few days of travel…

Mint arrived at Spawn Town.
