Is that AMANDLA STENBERG? No, that’s just MINERVA MINK. They were born on 23/10/2002 and are in their SOPHOMORE year of Veterinary School. They live in Northknot because they are an ANIMAL SHAPESHIFTER. Some they're HONEST and INTUITIVE, but I’ve heard others say they're STUBBORN and MANIPULATIVE. When you think of THEM, don’t you think of the STUDY NOTES SMUDGED WITH TEARS, FUR STUCK TO EVERYTHING & BEING THE SMALLEST IN THE ROOM AND STILL TAKING UP SPACE?

HEADCANONS
Sometimes they really felt like they and their sister were the same person split into two.
The twins were always out exploring as kids and went everywhere together.
Mini is lowkey clingy when it comes to their siblings and close friends.
They prefer animals over people.
You can find Mini in animal form most of the time. They shift into birds a lot and sometimes bugs so they can spy on people.
They like music and sports; if you see them walking around campus or town they definitely have headphones in.
They can be very quiet and shy but these past couple of years they have more outgoing.
Mini often uses their shapeshifting to sneak into places unnoticed, enjoying the anonymity of becoming something small and unassuming like a bird or a bug.
They love coffee but tend to put in more sugar than anyone else can stand. Black coffee feels "rebellious" to them, even though they don’t drink it often.
Mini has a small tattoo of an animal paw or feather to symbolize their shapeshifting nature.
Mini sometimes gets overwhelmed in crowded spaces, opting to shift into something small (like a bird or a fox) to slip away unnoticed.
They have a playlist for every mood and occasion, always curating new ones for themselves or as gifts for their loved ones.
They have a love for secondhand shops, where they hunt for unique animal-themed accessories or vintage items.
Mini has a habit of doodling animal sketches in the margins of their notebooks during classes, often inspired by animals they've recently shifted into.
When they’re stressed, they prefer to spend time alone in nature, often shifting into an animal form that allows them to blend in with their surroundings (like a deer or a squirrel).
Mini and their twin share a secret language of looks and gestures that no one else seems to fully understand, often confusing their friends and partners.
Mini is in a committed relationship with Quinn Morgan and Illiris Delphine, that her twin and older sister know about but their parents do not.
They secretly adore cheesy romance movies but only watch them alone or with their partners.
They sometimes overthink their relationships with their partners and worry if they are contributing enough, given that they are more introverted and the youngest.
Mini has a knack for imitating animal sounds and uses this skill to entertain friends or lighten a tense moment.
APPEARANCE
Mini has an eclectic and vibrant style that mirrors their dynamic personality. Their wardrobe is a kaleidoscope of loud colors, bold patterns, and occasional bursts of greys and blacks. They often sport oversized hoodies that offer both comfort and a hint of rebelliousness, paired with relaxed jeans or casual wear perfect for their campus life. Their natural curls are worn loose, radiating a carefree spirit, and they rarely opt for a dress, though when they do, it’s always with their signature twist. Headphones are a permanent fixture, their music always a step ahead of their surroundings. Mini’s look is completed with a mix of animal-inspired accessories and casual streetwear, giving off a laid-back yet distinctive vibe. Their appearance is both a statement and a reflection of their adventurous spirit and love for the unconventional.
PERSONALITY
Mini is a vibrant blend of bubbly energy and quiet introspection. They approach life with a warm, playful attitude that hides a more sensitive and thoughtful core. While they can be shy in new settings, Mini is often outgoing and silly around their inner circle, exuding an effortless charm. They value their relationships deeply, sometimes to the point of lowkey clinginess, and are fiercely loyal to the people they love. Their easygoing nature and knack for humor make them a joy to be around, though their occasional indecisiveness and tendency to overthink hint at a more introspective side. Mini’s shapeshifting abilities and love for nature give them a unique perspective, often reflected in their thoughtful and intuitive actions.

CONNECTIONS
Family Mini’s parents prefer the non-magical world although one is a human shifter and the other is an animal shifter. Because they are of both bloodlines, their older sibling can shift to both animals and humans. Mini is one half of a whole; they are an identical twin. Mini can shift into animals and their twin can shift into humans.
Old & Current Classmates These can be students from any year and they could’ve met fall or spring semester. Mini probably started talking to them out of nowhere and that’s how they became friends.
Old Fling They met first semester and hit it off. I want to say this is the person they lost their virginity to. They were only friends then and still are.
BIOGRAPHY
Born the youngest of the litter, Mini kind of had always been just that; the mini, the other one. They were quiet and let their twin sister lead. They were okay with that. They liked to watch and learn rather than participate and learn like their twin. Decision-making was hard enough already so it was much easier following in their sister’s footsteps. When needed, they’d stand up for themselves and express their boundaries but there wasn’t really any need to. The twins just meshed like that.
“If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.”
They meshed so well that they’d joke that they were one person split in two. The twins were always out exploring and more than likely, you’d always find them together. It was rare that you saw them apart due to Mini’s clinginess. They were always overshadowed by their sister and faded into the background of things most of the time. They’d often get bullied for not being more outgoing like their twin but their twin would always defend them.
“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.”
Although they were born in Northknot, they never knew anything about it. Their parents moved them out of the town hoping to have a somewhat normal life. Their older sibling stayed and attended college in Northknot and never talked to the twins about the magical parts of their hometown being forced by their parents not to say anything. It caused a wedge between the older sibling and their parents but the eldest sibling made sure to keep in contact with the twins.
“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”
The twins didn’t learn they had magic until they were six and started accidentally shifting; Marjorie into other children and Minerva into animals. Their parents were one of each; the eldest sibling being able to shift into both humans and animals. They went through life knowing of other mystical beings but weren’t told about Northknot until they graduated high school and decided to travel there for university.
“Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”
In college, Mini started to come out of their shell and really find who they were outside of being a twin. They were silly, fun and kindhearted. By the end of freshman year, they were in a relationship with not one but two people. It had its own ups and downs but mostly ups. By the time she graduated, they had moved in together. Mini is bubbly, outgoing but can still be kind of shy at times. They are currently starting their first year of veterinary school.
