hello it’s ya girl back with a brand new brat!! information on o is under the cut, and if you dig it you can hit me up and we can have all of the plots.
She knows very very little about her birth, all she knows is that she’s been in the American foster system for her entire childhood (at least that is what she has been told and what she has remembered)
She had a fairly decent foster experience. Some homes were fine, others were a bit neglectful but she doesn’t really have any horror stories, and she’s more or less grateful to the people who did help her.
If you really wanted to you could trace a lot of her personality back to feeling like she didn’t belong anywhere and wanting to fit in and be liked. If you wanted to. You know.
She developed a fascination with language at a young age, and by high school she was fluent in Spanish, English, French, and German. It was sort of her thing, she liked the idea of being able to communicate with anyone
She eventually turned that into a career, majored in linguistics, and learned even more languages. Right now, her human languages are: fluent in English, Spanish, German, French, Russian, Mandarin, Japanese, Hindi, and Tagalog. She is conversational is Arabic, Swahili, and Korean. It’s a FUCKING LOT, I know, but it’s basically all she’s studied for her entire life. Her brain is very suited to languages and she picks them up incredibly fast.
She worked in the US State Department as an interpreter for years. Three years back, the US government intercepted an alien transmission and she and a few others were tasked with analyzing the language. MIB was dispatched to collect the transmission and wipe the memories, but when they got there they found that she had made significant headway in understanding the language. She was recruited then, not as an agent but as a language specialist.
She worked at a desk in MIB HQ for the past three years, working on alien languages and cultures. She’s fluent now in a great deal of alien languages and even written languages, and would have been the person to call when an agent was on the field and needed some fast information.
Her knowledge is useful! Particularly in the field! So the agency decided to get her field ready. It was a FUCKING ORDEAL ya’ll. She barely passed the field tests, but because what she knows is valuable, she scrapped by. She did pass, of course, but it was like…graduating on a D+ that someone bumped to a C-
She’s a brand new agent and she is SO HAPPY TO BE HERE GUYS. She’s bouncing around the first floor, greeting everyone, being annoying because she’s happy to be here.
WHICH BRINGS ME TO: personality
She’s very sunny, she’s always smiling, and she will share it with anyone and everyone. Usually without them asking, usually without their desire.
Crying is like…a daily event for her? But it’s not always sad crying it can also be happy crying or angry crying. But like, she cries. She cries over puppy videos or if someone seems cross with her. But like, don’t worry, she does it privately she’s #subtle (not really but she tries to be)
She is very very open with her feelings and such, and thinks everything should be. She has a habit of oversharing, or prying, but it’s only because she does genuinely care about the people she meets. Overall she’s very genuine.
Because she’s in tune with her own feelings she’s good at picking up other people’s moods. It just makes her more persistent really, like if she can tell you are having an off day she’ll make it a personal mission to make it a Great Day.
She compliments people a lot. Usually starts out her conversations with compliments.
She is…bossy….without really meaning to be? But she is. FOR EXAMPLE: she is so high key disturbed that no one has a birthday in this agency, so she MAKES UP BIRTHDAYS according to what ZODIAC SIGN she thinks a person’s personality reflects. And then she’ll MAKE EVERYONE GET UP AND SING TO THAT PERSON. No exceptions. It is their birthday. She is ridiculously persistent. Plus, you don’t wanna make her cry, do you? No.
she loves orange juice?? it’s wild. she has some every morning and will often insist on sharing with you. have some orange juice! it’s good! its good for you! start the day the O way. ha, get it? the O way?? nudge.
She’s a little bit of leslie knope and a little bit of Winston bishop. Nice and lovely and sweet, a little weird, a lot bossy, nosy, and always means well.
There’s more but that should be enough for plots for the time being!!
