My turn to talk about my darling disaster vampire after @jessicapendragon and @ponylamp made it cool!
B A S I C S
Full name: Amelia Grace Tucker, Min to her friends. She’s named after her Grandma Amelia who goes by Minnie, and is still Little Minnie to her family. She’s currently operating under the alias Shelby Anne Miller.
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Whoever lights the stars in her eyes
Pronouns: She/her
And specific to her
Clan: Mekhet
Bloodline: Brothers of Ypres - ironic name is ironic but she’s a female Brother. So there.
O T H E R
Birthplace: Seattle, WA
Human: Min’s parents are Nate Tucker, MD & Grace Tucker, MD, a cardiothoracic surgeon and OBGYN, respectively. They alternate sabbaticals to volunteer with Doctors without Borders. Her grandma, Big Minnie, was a dancer in her day and was forever trying to get her introverted granddaughter to come out of her shell. Much to the chagrin of her doctor son and daughter-in-law, she also smokes cigars and drinks mint juleps and claims they’re good for the constitution. They’re the family that passes each other in the doorway through the week but always connects for a big Sunday dinner. Well, at least they did, before a number of things including a couple rounds of death and time travel.
Vampire: This is...a little complicated. Her sire is cockney thief extraordinaire Andrew Leighton, but she hates that S-word because it invokes a paternal relationship which is...weird, considering their erstwhile romantic involvement. Naturally, her coterie thinks Daddy jokes are hilarious. Thanks to a general naivety and, in game-mechanics terms, an exceptionally high humanity, Min is the sappy type who genuinely believes her friends are her family. She's adopted the disaster humans Connor keeps for his herd and is basically the House Mom, cooking dinners and trying to get the kids to go to school. It’s an uphill battle.
Job(s): Ostensibly, “Shelby Ann” works at Radio Shack. It’s a perfect cover and lets her purloin electronic components to help build her surveillance network.
Phobias: Doppelgangers. -_- Having one try to kill and become you will do that to a girl. She’s got a pretty unfriendly relationship with mirrors, too. Oh, and she doesn’t like large crowds or public speaking.
Guilty pleasures: What good is eternal life if you can’t enjoy some comfort food everyone once in a while???
Hobbies: She still loves computer programming and can’t wait until technology catches up to her skill level. The technology in 1994 is prehistoric. She also loves building robots, especially BattleBots. Lenore does not appreciate it.
M O R A L S
Morality alignment: Neutral Good - she likes everybody unless given a good reason why she shouldn’t.
Sins: lust / gluttony / pride / envy / wrath / sloth
Virtues: charity / diligence / kindness / patience / justice
Hope is her virtue. She believes in mercy, fairness and the inherent goodness of people, which is a bit of a challenge for an undead monster who has to poison people to drink their blood, but a little cognitive dissonance never hurt anyone.

Min is an achiever, a perfectionist, and puts a ton of pressure on herself. She can’t stand being idle, and she has an intense drive to oversee and control her environment. She wants more than anything to protect everyone, and she always considers it a personal failure if she can’t.

OTP: Sure, there’s some baggage, but her always and forever is her sire, Drew Leighton. Just because he accidentally killed her because she’s a dead ringer for the unfaithful ex-fiancee who erased his memory and scrambled his brains doesn’t mean they can’t work past that. In Min’s mind, a lesser man would’ve left her to die and let his mistake die with her, but since he saved her, stayed with her, took care of her and loved her, he’s Min’s hero and she would literally do anything for him, including losing her soul. She’s already done it once!
Acceptable/Other ships: Minore (Lenore/Min) is the quintessential odd couple, but Lenore has been Min’s guiding light ever since coming to the past and losing...well, everything Min ever knew. Min admires Lenore and tries to be more like her, even though she usually ends up even more awkward than before. Alyx/Min is proof that Min does have a wild side, buried deep, deep down under layers of anxiety and pedantry. And Min/Owen...oh, these two. The naive neophyte too modern for the world and the ancient elder just trying to find a place in it. All she wants to do is make him happy or at least ease his sadness, and all he wants to do is protect her from it. They can never, ever be, but I love them so much.
BroTP: Jazdia/Min. Min is constantly in awe of Jaz’s self-confidence and self-assuredness, and is very happy to play sidekick for the coterie’s leader! Sure, they’ve had their differences (which are usually about Drew), but Jaz has always helped Min find her way through the dark places of the Requiem. Jaz was even the one who taught her how to feed herself when she didn’t know how!
NOTP: Sure, everybody loves twins, but Annie x Min is never going to happen. Maybe it’s the fact that they both love the same man, or maybe the fact that Annie has tried to steal Min’s soul and become both of them, or maybe it’s the nasty gossip that she spread about Min before ever even meeting her...maybe it’s the time Min spent trapped in the Mirror Realm thanks to Annie. All good reasons.
