༻⸻⸻⸻⋆✧☾✧⋆⸻⸻⸻༺
Physical Appearance:
Minerva is very slim and tall, with very little shape to her at all. She sports a head of thick, wavy hair that is either a very dirty blonde or a very light brown, and is often worn in complicated half-up half-down hairstyles with braids and ribbons. Everything about her face is soft, with with pale, round lips that fade into her ever so slightly freckled complexion, and delicate brows that crown her silvery-teal eyes. Her most distinguishing feature is her small, button nose, which is often more red than the rest of her face. Despite her features alluding to a lesser lineage, her demeanour resembles that of nobility. She sits impeccably straight, and speaks with practiced elocution.

༻⸻⸻⸻⋆✧☾✧⋆⸻⸻⸻༺
Personality:
The elfess is mostly reserved, and harder to read than most. She approaches most social interactions politely though without any real personality, and would never say anything out of turn. Publicly, she has a fondness for books and writing, a keen eye for detail and an unhealthy obsession with keeping everything neat and organised. She does not like to be dirty or damp, but thankfully loves cleaning. Privately, her hobbies include charting the stars and painting, though she would never be bold enough to admit these things to someone. While she acts with a certain air of grace, she does what she can to never come across as judgemental or arrogant. One of her biggest strengths is her ability to bite her tongue and keep a secret, a habit that in the past brought her a great amount of grief, but one she has learnt to justify by turning her worship to Visage. She considers her profession as a secretary come book keeper come stenographer as a means to gather and protect knowledge and regards the world with a neutral gaze, with no real inclination towards good or evil, only wisdom.

Possessions:
Minerva's wardrobe mimics her dull demeanour, a collection of quaint, practical dresses in neutral colours apart from the occasional blue or pale pink for special occasions. The dresses are often worn tight to force a straight back and give the illusion of some kind of figure. On particularly sunny days she can often be seen wearing a bonnet to shade her face and a pair of white, silk gloves. Apart from a black lace choker, she does not wear much jewellery, and has refrained from having her ears pierced.
She carries a small satchel filled with mostly parchment, quills and ink, as well as the occasional book she has picked up to read on long journeys. She otherwise has not come into a great deal of possessions since starting her journey, and has yet to purchase property, or any means of defending herself. None of her items seem particularly special to her.
༻⸻⸻⸻⋆✧☾✧⋆⸻⸻⸻༺
Health:
As a young child, Minerva was often ill, which is what partially led to her being as particular about cleanliness as she is. Mentally, she is prone to symptoms of post-traumatic stress, though she tries to assure these do not come out in public. She is allergic to dogs. She sleeps well and her energy levels are average. She does not eat a great deal but is by no means avoiding food. She walks, but otherwise does not partake in exercise. She has not drunk alcohol in a long time, and is quite a lightweight, so tends to avoid it so she does not risk appearing improper.

History:
Minerva was born to wealthy, but not noble, silver elf family. Her mother passed when she was very young, leaving her father to raise three children alone. Minerva's two elder siblings were both boys, and so there was not much in the way of feminine influences in her life. Despite this, her father urged her to be a proper young lady, which made her hellbent on becoming the picture of feminine grace. Once she was old enough to work her father took her under his wing running an independent shipping company that exclusively supplied nobles, and thus she learnt from a very young age how to kiss up to rich. Minerva's duties mostly lied in administration, taking notes of meeting discussions, writing up contracts once those meetings were complete, and keeping track of the company's money. Over the years, she and her father became a very effective working pair.
Just as Minerva turned fifteen, she witnessed something unspeakable, something she has yet to mention to anyone to this day. She damned herself to keep the secret, and the guilt nearly drove her insane. She cut herself off from everyone she might have trusted out of fear of opening her mouth. Scared and mostly alone, Minerva turned to Visage, and used his tenets as a way of justifying her actions. As her guilt slowly faded, she decided she owed everything to the God, and she still believes that.
Her father eventually died, and the shipping company died with him. As her brothers were away starting their own lives and families, she felt nothing left keeping her in one place, and so she took her small inheritance and travelled for a new life. She took on small jobs in banks and for minor nobility, never staying in one city for very long, or speaking to anyone long enough to make a connection. Eventually she decided she needed to settle and so began her search for her future.
