Canon Resource Link: Like, here!
Personality: On the surface, Ini is a complete ditz. At one point, Phoenix comments that he “ didn't think it was possible for someone to be this much of an airhead”. Her speech is heavily littered with words such as “like” and “totally”. Ini doesn’t really seem to have any understanding of what’s happening around her and she doesn’t seem to be too fussed about this. During conversations, she regularly trails off or forgets the topic, before switching to something entirely unrelated.
However, Ini isn’t exactly who she seems. Just over a year prior to the case at Kurain, the real Ini Miney died in a car accident and her sister, Mimi Miney, who had been travelling alongside her, took over her identity. Mimi’s personality is almost a reverse of the act she puts on. She’s much calmer and more intelligent than she lets on. However, she doesn’t handle pressure well and the persona of Ini will drop during these times. The pretence is good, but not flawless. There are instances where she says things that don’t entirely fit in with her sister’s character.
Mimi is clearly a talented liar and her decision to conspire with Morgan Fey shows that she is calculating. The incident at the surgery and the fact that she got all the blame from it caused her to become very bitter, as she felt she was unjustly blamed for it. Throughout the case, she insists that she was overworked and that Dr Grey drugged her, causing the accident that lost her her sister and her her face.
Though she’s bitter and vengeful, she does feel a great deal of sorrow for her sister and everything that happened. When Ini died, Mimi had been the one driving the car and she was the one who fell asleep at the wheel. The plastic surgery she got gave her a chance to start her life over. If Mimi Miney was “dead”, then the media uproar would eventually end and she would be able to move on with her life, even if it was her sister’s life she moved on with.
What your character can offer: Nothing really, apart from a horrendously irritating speech pattern.
What items will they be bringing with them? Her clothes and some of her possessions that she’d had back at Kurain.
Third-Person Sample: Letting her bag drop to the dusty ground before leaning against the gateway to the village, Mimi sighed softly. “What a dump.” If it all went to plan, this is where it would all end. Lifting her hands, she smiled broadly. “Hi! My name is, like, Ini Miney and it’s a pleasure to meet you!” Hearing it made her feel sick. Every word made her feel sick but this was her life now. Her entire existence had come down to this, an imitation and a charade.
“ No, that wasn’t right. Um, hi there! My name is , like, Ini Miney and it’s like, totally, an honour to be allowed here!” It really made her feel sick. Pushing down the rising bile in her throat, she grabbed her bag and stepped into the village. It was such a simple plan. Dress in the clothes given to her, drug the “medium”, stab the doctor and let the girl take the blame. Four little steps, that would be it and then this entire thing would officially be over. Continuing her walk, taking care not to make too much unnecessary sound, her mind allowed itself to wonder to Morgan Fey, her accomplice. “Accomplice?” Mimi practically snorted at the thought, that old bat was just in this for herself. She just wanted to put her precious brat at the head of the family, a pathetic motive if ever she’d heard one.
This entire village was pathetic. It was crawling with people obsessed with “spirits”, “channelling” and the rest of that mumbo jumbo. If only that moronic doctor hadn’t thought of this. Her nails dug into her palm as she tensed. She was really going to do it. She was going to kill that man, he’d forced her name to grave and now she was going to take him too. It wasn’t just for her, of course, this was for Ini too. It was his fault she was dead. . It was his fault. It was all his fault and now he was going to die for it.
For the first time that day, a genuine smile appeared on her face. It was at that moment that she felt something slam into her side. Turning her head sharply, she stared at the child behind her. "Yo---!" She cut herself off, now was the perfect time to get into the swing of it. "Like, shouldn't you watch where you're going? You could hurt yourself if you're not careful! Plus, this is, like, a really famous village and all the stuff here is totally priceless! It'd be a bummer if you, like, ran into something valuable." So far it seemed to be working, the child was nodding along with what she was saying. "I'm here to, like, see, uh, what's her name again? Day...? Something Day? Do you, like, know where I could find her?" It was hard not to laugh at the bewildered look she was faced with but she managed to hold her compusure. "She's, like, totally, a big wig around here! I think her cousin or sister or something is, like, the Master or something?" It was then that the child understood and said that they would fetch Morgan Fey for her. "Like, thank you!"
She had to give herself a round of applause, her impression was getting better everyday.
First-Person Sample: azsxdcfghj’’;;dkldds [There’s a small grunt as she stands up and manages to grab the communicator as she goes. Switching it over to voice by accident, she groans to herself.] “Use this”? Use what exactly?
This is ridiculous. I don’t have time for this.[A brief pauses as she notices that it’s set to “on”.]
[…]
Is this, like, recording?
[Somehow manages to flick it over to video.] Oh! Like, my name is Ini Miney and this is totally not where I thought I’m meant to be. So, could you, like, let me go home now please? Or at least back to Kurain village? I have, like, stuff to do!
It's, like, pretty rude to snatch someone when they're, like, asleep! You could have totally woken me up first. I mean, it's just...
[---and that's it. She just stops and looks around herself a little.]
