## Personality

Parasol is generally a upbeat, cheerful, eccentric, carefree, enigmatic and bubbly woman.  She has an eerily easy going and laid-back personality. She is so laid-back that she shows no hint of negative emotions ever in her life. Despite her happy-go-lucky personality, she can be described as being haughty, arrogant, and conceited. She rarely cares about her family and does her own thing most of the time. Parasol is extremely unpitying to others and doesn’t stop to help anyone, even her own family. This affects her relationship with her cousin, Mindy which is one-sidedly strained. Mindy gets largely uncomfortable whenever Parasol comes over to visit because despite Parasol being the only one in the family to even visit Mindy’s home, Parasol still doesn’t do anything to help Mindy’s loneliness. Parasol would have to be the one to tell Mindy if something were happening in the family. This would include funerals which Parasol nonchalantly tells Mindy with a smile, Mindy hates that part of her taking serious situations carelessly.

## Backstory

Parasol is one of many siblings and family members of a umbrella octopus family. She is a distant cousin of Mindy’s who is in the sheep side of the family. Parasol is far older than Mindy standing around 21 years old. Parasol is distant with her own family because of her moving a lot to different areas but still keeping in touch. But no matter where she is currently at right now, she does sometimes visit Mindy. Wether it be because of family business to discuss or simply because she’s bored. However, these visits are extremely short being only a few minutes then leaving for another year or so.

## History

Parasol knocked on the door humming to herself as she waited patiently. “Patiently” was a lie. She started knocking rapidly when 1 second passed. “Miiiiiiiinnnnndddddyy~~! It’s your favorite cousin and also only cousin that ever visits you~!” She calls out extremely loudly. Mindy is lucky that she doesn’t have any neighbors. The door unlocks and slowly creeps open. Mindy peeks out visibly confused, “…huh?” That gave just enough time for Parasol to grip the door and fling it open. She forgot to consider that flinging it hard would affect the person behind it. But theres no time for such meaningless thoughts! She skipped around the living room and plopped onto the couch. Mindy watched uncomfortably as she closed the door.

Mindy slowly stepped around the couch, her footsteps gentle as ever. Before Mindy could speak, Parasol let out the most dramatic sigh. “Phewwwy! Finally I can let out my eyeballs! My bangs get so itchy on my nose ugh! You know what it’s like to wanna lift up your bangs just a teeeny bit but can’t cuz everybody is gonna be like “omg I never knew your eyes looked like that!” or “can you lift up your bangs? i wanna see again!” Like its soo annoying right?!” Parasol smiled gleefully and quite creepily. She lifted up her bangs and brought out a mini mirror to check her eyelashes, not even waiting for Mindy to respond. “Do you want tea..?” Mindy finally said. “Yes please! Also show your eyes to me deary, we’re family after all! Don’t wanna stare at beige cotton all day!” Mindy turned towards the kitchen. Scrummaging and cabinets opening and closing could be heard in the silent home.

Mindy came back with her bangs lifted. She muttered, “uhm, I don’t have tea anymore. I forgot to buy some.” Parasol looked at Mindy like this 😦. “WHAT?! HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE TEA?!!!! jk I brought some tea bags!” Parasol hopped towards the obviously shook Mindy and placed a box of tea bags into her hands. “Just a lil present for my darling cousin hehe!” Parasol now walked around the living room as Mindy prepared tea. Parasol giggled, “woww I just LOVE your house! It’s so roomy and cozy, but bland, but thats totes not a problem!” Parasol literally touched everything in the room, patted the couch and chairs, aligned the painting and pictures, and flicked the plants. Mindy didn’t respond at all to her rambling, she honestly didn’t know how to respond to her.

Mindy came back with the tea. Parasol sat back down onto the couch while Mindy sat on a chair. Parasol started the conversation, “sooo how are you doing lately? See you haven’t changed your house like. At all.” Parasol sipped her tea even though it was very hot. Mindy fidgeted, barely touching the tea. “I’ve been doing fine. Nothing much to do.” Suddenly Mindy remembered something. “Ah! But I heard I’m gonna enroll to a school named Night Raven College! My dad sent me a letter telling me the detail-“ Before she could respond, Parasol gripped her shoulders. “WHAT?! NRC?!!! WHY THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO A PLACE LIKE THAT jk thats amazing Mindy! Considering you have no knowledge on magic, I think this is a great announcement!” She sat back down and continued to sip her tea. Mindy was less excited by her announcement now that Parasol creeped her out.

Parasol giggled and looked at Mindy dead in the eye. “You wanna hear my announcement too? haha! Your cousin died!! Oh I gotta be specific, since theres like. So many cousins from my side.” Parasol laughed it off as Mindy sat there dumbfounded. “Lets see… like.. third cousin..? No fourth.. gosh who cares! He’s dead! I only went to like what? Two parties with him? I barely know the guy! Especialllllyy you. You don’t even knowww most of my brothers and sisters haha!” Mindy was extremely uncomfortable at that point. Like that third or fourth cousin’s ghost was eavesdropping on their disrespectful conversation on them. Parasol downed all the hot tea and stood up. “That was all I came here for. Heres the address for the funeral, well if you wanna come or not. Doesn’t matter honestly! Ah. Not like I’m saying you coming doesn’t affect us or anything! Or is that what I’m saying..? Who knows! Either way, it’s optional, you won’t hurt anybody’s feelings.” She gathered her belongings and headed towards the door. Mindy followed her quickly. “Is my parents going to be there?” She asks, searching for a reason to be with her parents. Parasol patted down her bangs and side eyed Mindy. “Of course not darling. They never show up.”

Parasol skipped down the steps and headed to her car. Mindy stood at the doorway for few seconds, feeling the outside breeze then finally closing the door and locking it. Mindy sat back down on her chair and sipped the tea.

“What the hell..? This tastes awful…”
