Born and raised in rural Pennsylvania. Minerva is the middle of three sisters. Her parents have always been loving and supportive but Minnie always felt like she was trapped in her small town. She had dreams of doing bigger things and traveling the world. But she felt sad at the idea of leaving her family behind. So she stayed as long as she could.
In her late teens she got wrapped up with a friend group that made her feel important. She felt useful and she let herself get wrapped up in some activities she knew her parents wouldn't be proud of. But it made her feel alive and it gave her access to expensive things she would have never had before. She even treated her sisters and her family, but all they would do was grill her about where she got the money.
So at the age of 25, she finally left home. Took all the money she had, bought a decent car and went on the road. She had no real destination in mind but eventually found herself settled in upstate New York where she moved into a small house on a farm and started to grow her own garden. Which eventually turned into her growing her own cannabis.
It wasn't what Minerva had imagined for herself but it created a whole new life for her and for the first time in her life she was making money off of something she felt like was truly helping people. Her specialty became strains that helped with pain management, especially for injured veterans.
The only family she had in New York was her Uncle Derek who was her main pull to make a trip to the city. She'd visit his place in Brooklyn and he taught her how to ride a motorcycle. It was through him that she became aware of the Reapers and started to find a family away from home with them. While she preferred her farm, it was nice to have people to spend weekends with and even nicer to ride with them upstate.
When cannabis was legalized in New York State (many years after she started her farm) she was one of the first to get herself a prime real estate shop in downtown Manhattan. Walking distance from the Hudson River, which had always been one of her dreams.
But her ability to move illegal product before without detection had become incredibly useful once she decided to become a prospect and eventually became a patched MC member with her Uncle's full support. Her parents aren't exactly thrilled but it makes for exciting conversation whenever she and Derek head home for the holidays.
If there's a role to have in the MC, Minnie has had it. Her stint as Treasurer was brief because she hated having to bother people about dues, her time as a Road Captain was probably her favorite but she was interim Secretary for a hot minute and eventually found herself sitting at Sergeant at Arms before she became President. It had been something she hadn't even expected to be considered for but once she was in the process she knew that she wanted it badly. More than anything she had ever wanted before.
It's been six years since Minerva took over as the MC President and she does not fuck around when it comes to crew. While she loves her shop, she has taken to spending more time on the farm, finding other ways to keep streams of money going and keeping her face out of any news. The six years as president has hardened her and also made her more compassionate at the same time. But now that she has so much more than she ever imagined, she's just that much more determined to protect all that she loves.
Other fun facts:
If she's not on her bike, she's on a skateboard or occasionally will pull out her old truck.
She has an apartment in Brooklyn, a house on the farm upstate and a safehouse in [redacted]
Is big on checking in on her people. Likely to show up unannounced with dinner or an offer to go for a ride. She's big on making sure the MC still has a reputation as being helpful to the community. Last year she started a program with one of the local schools to have the MC come in and teach the students about mechanics and proper safety.
Heavily covered in tattoos but still likely to get more. Has a story for every one.
She's the parent of a pug named Orpheus.
She's been an out and proud lesbian since she was 16, and her serious relationships have been few and far between. Except when she was in her late 20s and she fell madly in love with a woman she almost married. She tells everyone that she ended it but the truth was she proposed and the woman said no. It was devastating and since then Minnie has been very single.
Plays well with others unless she gets suspicious. Then she gets impulsive.
