Nicknames: Some people shorten the Hermes to 'Herm' before she reminds them it can sound horrible.
Pronouns: She/They
Age: 22
Birthday: May 6th
School: Mayet University for a major in Law and a minor in the Arts. It's a complicated thing.
Hobbies:
- Painting -- Hermes is an art kid. She especially cherishes painting, and while she has acrylics, guache, and oils... She learned toi paint with watercolors at her mother's side. It makes her happy to paint for others, and were it not for her father's hopes and dreams for her she'd live her days painting portraits, pets, and landscapes. She's good at it and it's decent money when she can charge, but she'll mever charge her parents, probably because she likes painting her mother to get her father out of hot water on, say, birthdays.
Video Games -- Hermes loves video games. A lot. Specifically, JRPGs. She's a fan of platformers too -- but she'll chase any game with a story and owns some offbeat games, both translated for America, or imported, so she can enjoy a plot, and yes, she speaks Japanese... Amazingly. Platformers, JRPGs, and even visual novels are just a great way to unwind for her, and as a bonus, she's practicing her language skills. The only exception is Minecraft, also meant for unwinding, but, she plays it in Greek. Yes, Greek. She speaks that too.
Cartoons -- Hermes likes animation. While she watches anime, she'll watch anything she can understand as long as it isn't just shock humor or insulting to her. This means she'll watch Brand New Animal, The Dragon Prince, Bob's Burgers, and then older fare like Futurama. It's just something nioce to shut off the mind to and relax, much like games.
Pros: [
- "Haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate, I'm just gonna shake shake shake, shake it off!" Self Confident -- DHermes is used to haters., She was raised to be a smart, confident, self-empowered young adult capable of anything, so she sees absolutely no reason to let others get under her skin. The words just slide down her back because she knows when to take criticism and when to tell someone to be quiet. She was raised to speak English, Greek, and Japanese, so her general attitude is to point out when people are just being nasty and hurtful about her, for whatever reason they give. Does not work. It really just rarely gets to her.
"I am my mother's daughter..." Calm -- Hermes is a very cAlm soul. She doesn't upset quickly, not only for her confidence, but because she can keep her temper in line. Although she adores her father, Hermes inherited her mothers much calmer temprament. She is usually reliable to keep her head in stressful situations, and when she DOES upset, one knows it is of import... Usually. Most often though... Why fuss?
Cons:
- "And that's why they call me... Bad Company, I can't deny!" Critical -- Hermes is kind of critical. OK, very critical. She's not easy to please, for all the calm confidence she exudes and she WILL be judgey in the right mood. She has STANDARDS and you need to meet those to impress her. Sure, not many -- be a decent human being please - but she'll be sure to tell everyone if she deems words or actions to be 'wrong' or substandard and why you've earned her lecture. She's keen to make people feel small when dissatisfied, and when she's going into critical pain mode, people usually wish she'd just... Shut up, please.
"You say the price of my love is not a price that you're willing to pay..." Possessive -- Hermes grew up on the stories of love from her parents, and on popular media, which did not mix well on her. She's a hopeless romantic whom demands true love enter her life and SHE WILL CLING TO IT TOOTH AND NAIL. She wants to be loved but she's worried about being dumped for someone else, and she hates the dating process when her boyfriends and girlfriends split up. With her. HER. How?!... Probably because it's the one area she's insecure about at first, and Hermes never knows how ro deal with a relationship because she was raised to believe that her true love will love her and nobody else, ever, except their family. She just never got a good explination of romance. Her mom tried, but... Sadly, Hermes is just... Kind of possessive at times.
General Appearance
Hermes is tall, arounf 5'7, with a killer hourglass figure that won't quit, a white pixie cut, sapphire blue eyes, and dark skin. Ethnically, she's Japanese/Greek/African American, though the former two rarely show their traits. Hermes enjoys tunic dresses with bell sleeves, regular tunics with bell sleeves and pants, and discreete jewelry. I have a decent drawn reference here
