WEE! Finally finished inking this today (after working on it all night XD)
This is an update of a picture I originally had made some time ago, and the character needed a facelift.
Anyways, this is the infamous Minnie Taur of Monster High, Manny Taur's little sister. Minnie lives the country and tomboy beat, out on the farm that her family lives on. Her father, the minotaur, is a farmer, and Manny and Minnie help around the farm. Her mother, a human (or Normie), left when Minnie was just a baby, leaving Minnie in a house of all males. Because of this, Minnie is kind of awkward about girly things. She likes them, but at the same time, she doesn't really know what to do with them. Their mother leaving also left a deep scar in Manny who was a young calf, fueling his aggressiveness towards 'normies'.
This anger doesn't extend to Minnie since she was too young for her to even form a bond with her mother. All she's ever known is her father Asterius, Manny, and her family friends. So family and friends are of big importance to her.
Because of her lineage, Minnie is heavier than most girls, what some would consider chubby. And like Manny, she was heavily picked on. But unlike Manny, she became the bully's bully. Minnie doesn't take sass from anyone, and has a horrible temper if provoked. And you'll know it if she's mad, because her eyes will go all red and you'll soon have a raging minotaur charging at you. And her biggest pet-peeve is bullying. Minnie got her reputation of terror when one day in middle school, she caught some other students bullying her brother. While Minnie can take bullying to herself quite easily, seeing her brother being shoved into a locker after being roughed up sent Minnie into an outright RAGE!!
The 4 boys that did it didn't even know what hit them until it was too late. Minnie sent them flying, punching and kicking like a whirlwind of fury, smashing up lockers and putting those boys in a world of hurt. She even broke one boy's jaw and ripped the hair off another. When they all were dropped to the ground, she roared at them to get her brother out of the locker and apologize to him. Which they did before running to the nurse's office with their tails tucked between their legs.
Her violence wasn't well taken by the middle school staff, so Minnie was suspended for a few days. But the student body instantly loved her since those 4 boys were some of the meanest bullies in all the school. Ever since then, NO-ONE bullies in front of Minnie.
But Minnie isn't a meanie at all, she's actually a very sweet, kind-hearted girl. She cares deeply about her family and friends and tries to make friends with everyone she meets. That terrible rage is only provoked if she sees others being harmed or hurt, and Minnie has one big sense of justice.
In her daily life, Minnie's hobbies are sports, farmwork, and cooking. Minnie loves to cook, and cooks for her family and usually brings treats to share with her friends at school. Whenever Minnie wants to relax, she cooks. She hopes one day to be a great chef and use fresh, local products like the ones on her family's farm. Her father and Manny encourage this, because they love her cooking, especially her 'cow-pie'-pies. Manny's favorite is apple, Minnie's favorite is chocolate or blackberry, and Asterius loves cherry.
Minnie has a pet pig named Porkchop. Porkchop was the runt of the litter of a nearby farm, and wasn't expected to do well. Minnie came to visit to look at the new baby pigs and found out about the runt, and asked the farmer what he would do with it. When she found out he was going to kill the piglet, Minnie instantly bought the little guy from the farmer. Asterius wasn't much in-love with the idea when Minnie brought home the little pig, and started to say he would make him into porkchops. For some reason, the piglet began to respond to this 'nickname' Minnie's father gave him, and he's been Porkchop ever since. (and don't mind Asterius, he loves Porkchop now even if he does tease about eating him). Porkchop is now a well-sized pig and still growing, and Minnie hopes one day she can show him at state-fairs for prizes.
Minnie's favorite colors are browns and reds, though she won't turn down a green or a yellow either. If you ask her what her favorite food is, she'll say 'EVERYTHING!' though she doesn't like soda drinks, she says the extra sugar makes her stomach hurt.
Minnie and Manny are super strong from all their farmwork, though Minnie appears to be the stronger despite her size, that or Manny is just being lazy as his father says. She uses that super strength for chores and for playing sports, since she usually is playing with the guys anyways.
Her favorite article of clothing are her boots, and she refuses to wear anything but boots. Which can be a bit of a problem sometimes when she has to 'dress up'.
Her favorite school subjects are PE and Home Ick, which alot of other students like to stop by to see if they can sample anything she's made, which makes Minnie pleased as punch. She's very competitive at sports, don't let her size fool you, she can mop the floor with the best of them.
Her best ghoulfriend is Iris Clops, though she makes friends with any and everyone
Her secret crush? A centaur named Thes. (but don't tell anyone or let Manny know, because Minnie just all tongue-tied around Thes.)
Hope everyone likes the remake! I knew alot of people liked coloring my original, so I left this one empty for coloring too, though I did add a color scheme I usually use for her in the little one I did of her with Iris. I love Iris, she's cool. :D
Now...if only I had the money to get someone to make me a Minnie doll of my very own....I've been trying to make one of her (I like using Lagoona or Clawdeen) but I just fail terribly at it! One day Minnie, one day I will have a doll of you!!
