## Description

### Appearance

Mina Murray is a bright, spunky young woman. She has wavy brown hair which is usually pulled up and brown eyes that are usually twinkling with some mischief. She tends to favor dresses that are blue and a pair of well-used boots that allow her to run and move.

On her person, Mina tends to carry a rapier loaned to her by Leon. She wears this via a belt loop attached to her waist.To conceal her hunter's knife, she has taken up the habit of wearing a slightly oversized black wool jacket. She also wears a strange medallion around her neck and a fire-opal ring on her left index finger.

### Personality

Mina is a spunky, tenacious, clever witch with a heart of gold. Though new to the world of shadows, she is quickly coming into her own as both a spellcaster and a hero.

Mina has always been extremely clever with a deep love of literature and ancient history. Whenever her Father went away on his many travels, she always eagerly awaited the stories he brought back with him on his return. Even from a young age, she longed to see the lands her Father spoke of and she always longed for the thrill of a grand adventure.

With this love of adventure and longing for the unknown, Mina always felt somewhat stifled by society's expectations of her. While other young lady's practiced needlepoint and etiquette, Mina spent her time practicing swordplay and reading adventure novels. She is a strong feminist who is ahead of her time in many ways. More than anything, Mina values her freedom and independence and it is owing to this that she is absolutely terrified of the idea of marriage.

Stubborn and tenacious, there is nothing on earth that can deter Mina from a course of action once she's set her mind on it. While this quality may prove irksome to her companions at times, it also makes her an invaluable investigator as she will stop at nothing to solve a case. Indeed, the harder or more complicated the case, the more intrigued and determined Mina becomes to solve it.

As her attunement would suggest, Mina is a fiery and spirited young woman who loves the thrill of adventure in whatever form it may take. Wherever the road takes her, Mina is sure to be in eager anticipation of all of the new experiences that await her. Possessing an indomitable will and unbounded courage, there seems to be no challenge that she will back down from and no enemy that can break her spirit.

Beneath this fiery heart, however, Mina also possesses a very gentle, compassionate spirit. She cares deeply for those who are in need and people seem to have an easy time talking to her. Unlike many ladies in the upper class, Mina is not judgmental and she is the first to forgive a person for their past transgressions. She has a tendency to see the best in others, most especially when they cannot see it for themselves.
