MINERVA “MINNIE” MAO ---> 38 --> ACTRESS--> ECHO CREEK
Species: Human Sexuality: Pansexual Pronouns: She/Her Favorite Song: Somewhere Over The Rainbow by Judy Garland Big Three: Scorpio sun, Taurus moon, Libra rising
minnie has always looked up to her parents. they were always giving back and never taking and minnie thought that was so beautiful. they worked from the ground up to have the luxuries they had, but they never forgot the people that helped them along the way. her parents are successful neurosurgeons who have helped so many people in animania with that alone. coming from old money from the mao family was a big help in getting them where they were, but they used most of that fortune to give back.
despite the lavish background, minnie was raised to appreciate the little things in life and to work for what she wanted. when her parents weren’t working they were teaching minnie the basic right and wrongs. they were instilling manners into her, refusing to let her be raised by nannies unless needed. they were very involved with her life and she is grateful for it.
growing up she had the greatest friends she could ever ask for. first was daisy, who lived close and was always around when she needed her. daisy was fiery and lovely and even though they didn’t always see eye to eye, they always came together in the end. minnie would sacrifice everything for daisy and they would do the same for her. mickey, donald, and goofy basically came not long after. even though the boys were a little older, they fit right in with minnie and daisy like it was nothing. the rest is history.
mickey has always been the guy for her. they share so many ideals and beliefs. he was her rock when she needed it the most and they always encouraged each other to be better people. they were together for most of their lives and minnie adored every second of it. they were always the ones people thought would get married and have a big family and live happily ever after. but then he cheated. it may not have been intended but it still happened and minnie still struggles with that. she wants to forgive him and get back together but she just isn’t ready. she has forgiven, but she cannot forget.
being an actress had been her dream since she was a kid. she always wanted to be a part of that magic and the process and she did everything in her power to earn it. she tried out for every school play, she did community theater, she auditioned time and time again. there was a lot of failures before the success and when she got her big break it was everything to her. she took her acting career very seriously and spent a good amount of years taking major and minor roles. anything to be a part of the process. it wasn’t until a few years ago that she decided to slow down. she loved her career, but she felt like she was taking more than giving. she wanted to give back like her parents did. she wanted to do more. so she focused on her charity work instead. she focused on funding and creating fundraisers. and she focused on the house of mouse.
the house of mouse really was the most magical place she could be at. she loved coordinating and event planning. she loved bringing smiles to people from all over animania. she loved working with her friends. it really was a great place to just...give back and create a safe space for people.
minnie loves her home shared with daisy. it is just her style and daisy’s too at the same time. it’s a little large, but that was because minnie insisted on a huge backyard so that she could have her own garden. gardening was her favorite stress relief and she could not stand not having one.
minnie is trained in the violin, piano, and guitar. her favorite instrument is and has always been the piano. doing duets with mickey were her favorite thing to do.
she can be a bit of a stress baker. she isn’t the type to let her stress show so visibly, but when she starts baking a few dozen cupcakes at a time it is fairly obvious.
minnie is a perfectionist to her core. she has an awful habit of trying to do too much at once. sometimes it blows up in her face, sometimes she can get through it. she doesn’t like to not be busy with a project so she is constantly signing up for new ones.
she is obsessed with vintage clothes and classic hollywood aesthetics. it shows in her own appearance. she likes to look both timeless and classy.
she does not swear. she thinks it is a little tacky, but she will also never say that out loud. she likes to think she has a decent temperament and it is very very rare of her to ever get to the point of swearing.
she had never thought she could be a designer until daisy encouraged her to. daisy did most of the work on the bowline she is doing and deserves a lot of the credit, but minnie sketched out her ideas. she was a decent artist, but never anything worth selling. she is grateful to help daisy out and help animania out.
minnie loves the simple things when it comes to dating. a coffee date, a romantic dinner at home, movie night; she doesn’t need to do anything fancy and she doesn’t need much to impress her. all she wants is a connection and some basic romance.
when minnie needs a moment to get away and reset she goes to the beach. she loves the fresh air and she loves being near the ocean.
right now minnie is trying to devote her time to organizing more fundraisers and benefit-related events to give back even more to animania. she wants to be able to help out as many areas as she can and she is determined to use her place among the politics of animania for good.
will add more :)
