"Life's getting boring, Mena. Time to give me another tattoo." Ivy was not tatted by any means but did have a fair share here and there, a few from the bad & drunk decisions of their youth and some they'd drawn themselves. "I think it's time that I get a Merrock specific tattoo, actually. How about this, you beat me in this Bean Bag toss and I'll let you put ANY tattoo you want on me. Paint me like one of your French girls."

PERSONALITY
Ximena is a free spirit through and through. She loves hard and deep despite her rough childhood. She'd go to the ends of the earth for those she loves and considers some friends to be more like family. She loves to have a good time though she may be reckless because of it.
Born to parents who didn’t exactly keep an eye on her, Mena realized from a young age how much fun life could be. She was not the greatest student, managing to pass her classes with mostly Cs and some Bs. However, her true passion lay in art, particularly drawing, which she loved deeply.
As a young child, Mena met Lucie Newman in class, and they formed a strong friendship that would define her early years. They balanced each other out, but together, they often caused more trouble than they intended. By the time high school rolled around, Mena preferred ditching class to hang out with her friends. She, Lucie, and Bonnie became inseparable, navigating their teenage years together.
Parties were where Mena truly came alive, whether it was through the dancing or the vibrant social scene. However, one fateful night changed everything when the three girls stayed out late. The next morning, only Lucie and Mena woke up, a harrowing wake-up call that shifted Mena's perspective on life. Though she had barely spoken to her parents before, they were no help in her time of need. Feeling the need to cut ties further, she moved out and began apprenticing as a tattoo artist.
Fast forward to 2016, Mena decided to return home and secured a job as a tattoo artist at Mods. During this time, she fell in love, and three years later, she welcomed a little boy named Mateo into her life. Unfortunately, shortly after his birth, Mateo's father abandoned them, unwilling to take on the responsibility of parenthood.
Now, raising her little boy alongside their dog, Mena has become a successful tattoo artist. She lives in a charming trailer on Lupine Lane, surrounded by people she loves, embracing a fulfilling life she’s built for herself.
Ximena (she/her, cis woman) was born on February 13, 1992 in Merrock, Maine and is local, but returned in 2016.
