{Thousand armies couldn't keep me out }

Appearance:

Mimi’s a little bird of a girl. She’s very small and very light. Ribs stick out from beneath her tiny chest. She’s almost always underweight, though she doesn’t eat much, which doesn’t help the matter. She stands at about 5’1. Her skin is pale, near translucent at times, and her veins have a way of showing. China blue eyes and thick blonde hair.
You can usually find Mimi in the latest British fashion. She brought her entire wardrobe to school with her, and has a bit of an obsession with online shopping. You won’t find her without make-up.

Dislikes: Injuries, sunny days, losing, being away from her sister, cats

From a distance, most people assume she’s a docile little thing. Quite the contrary. Mimi’s probably the most ambitious 16 year old you’ll meet. She’ll step on anyone to achieve, often without remorse. Nothing is ever good enough. She studies and trains obsessively until she’s gotten a perfect score or a perfect form. First place itself isn’t even satisfying. She’s quite vengeful, too. If for some reason she doesn’t get the highest grade in class, she’ll make sure the person who did wishes they were never born. Or, at least that they hadn’t studied so hard.

She’s biting and sarcastic. She’s a sadist, too. But she has a soft spot for her little sister, who she treats like an absolute princess. The two have a unique relationship in that they are bonded by a joint fear of their mother. The sisters are very close. Mimi will call at any hour of the day to make sure her sister is alright.

Mimi’s obsessed with her dancing career. She’ll dance in her room. She’ll dance in the gym. She’ll train like she’s still with her company back home. She’ll even listen to nothing but classical music for weeks, forcing herself to stay in the zone, even though she’s thousands of miles from home. It’s not just dedication. It’s a full-blown obsession. She’ll call her friends at home every day, grasping for bits of gossip and news. It’s sort of unhealthy, but no one’s stopped her yet.

All flaws aside, she’s really sort of friendly if you’re not in competition with her. She won’t do anything hurtful without warrant. Though she often does despise her gift. Because she’s rather young, most people dislike her for being so ambitious and trying to top her elders. She ignores it. Sucks to be in second place.

History:

Mimi grew up with her mother and sister. Her father left when she was five. When Mimi was born and the doctors announced her ability, her mother was worried beyond belief. Holding this near weightless child in her arms she wondered, how will she survive in a world like this? She was enrolled in ballet classes at age four, as her mother was a former professional dancer and wanted her daughter to pursue the same passion. From a very young age Mimi feared her mother. The look of disappointment when she messed up or fell was worse than when she would scream. Her mother expected nothing less than perfection. She wanted her daughter to succeed, to be able to walk on her own two feet in the real world. So after a time, Mimi learned. Instead of crying when she fell, she’d suck back the snot and get back up again. A fear of failure was born. As she grew up, it was replaced with a startling ambition that didn’t quite match her state of health.

Her mother sent her to school in order to hone her ability to “fly” and meets others like herself. Mimi was absolutely outraged. There are no ballet companies near Irina. Nowhere to train. Her mother wanted her to heal, and perhaps (unbeknownst to her daughter) give up ballet for good. She thought it was a good idea in the beginning to have her daughter dance. Now, it appears the activity is too physically demanding for Mimi. She suffers from back issues and an arch issue in her right foot. She trained far too hard, and often blames herself for getting into this situation at all.

So far away from home, she can’t keep an eye on her mother. She often worries about her younger sister and how hard their mother is pushing her. Mimi will call home often, just to make sure things are alright.
