Physical Description: Missy is a very petite girl with a head of short, shaggy brown hair and blue eyes. Most clothing is somewhat large on her, and she doesn't stick to any one style particularly loyally, but her size tends to make a lasting impression. Her hands are slender, her fingers long, and her silhouette is very slim, but not particularly boyish.
Personality: She was raised to be kind, and was never one to play in the mud. Missy will gladly talk to anyone who engages her and enjoys the customer service aspect of her job, but also likes to spend her time alone, baking or decorating away from the world. She is content to be alone as well as she enjoys the company of others. For all that she interacts, though, she is less likely to trust than she may have once been. She damns herself for her naivete although it still emerges from time to time, and tries her best to be strong and firm. Missy is a sensitive sort, however, and often loses control of her own emotions or is forced to struggle against tears. She is a girl who can get lost in a green field or a gentle breeze, but doesn't like to sit and think for too long lest she end up in a darker place. There are moments of worry in her usual grin and whimsy, but these are left to privacy.
History: Missy was a surprise child to an older couple who had not been expecting to be blessed with a child. She was raised to be a good girl, not one to speak out or cause a fuss. Her mother believed in manners and propriety, and was glad to have a little pixie like Missy. Her father adored her, showering her with gifts and all a child could desire. Unfortunately, Mister Frye was taken by an accident at work when his daughter was eleven, leaving his wife and daughter to fend for themselves. Missus Frye took up a job at the mill, but found even this to not be enough to support her family. She sought a second husband and found a man who was wealthy, but somewhat cold and cruel. Missy watched her mother wither away in his arms while she herself met the switch and a more solitary childhood. Her resolve was strengthened when she was sent away to boarding school in Arkenvale and was forced to grow up on her own. Her mother passed during Missy's second year and tuition ran dry, so the girl struck out to take the big, terrifying world by the horns. Her only contact to her old world were letters from her maternal cousin and the occasional upsetting correspondence with her step-father, who seemed to have forgotten the tiny waif that he had taken in. While she had grown in the past few years as a person, her old naivete crept back to the forefront and got the best of her when she fell for a man who broke her heart. Feeling alone and suffering the wounds of betrayal, she must continue on to forge her own path with the strength she is finding within herself.
