Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Maisie Ann Merlo

Nickname: M&M. Maisie Ann when she’s in trouble.

Gender/Pronoun: She/Her/Hers

Age: 13 (Obviously I won't be awakening her until she's 14.)

Birthday: October 30th, 2008

Sign: Scorpio

Gemstone: Opal

Blood Type: O-

Fav. Food: Plain cheese pizza and some fresh garlic knots.

Hated Food: She really wishes tomatoes didn’t have such gooey innards. She’s also picky about seafood.

School/Occupation: She skipped a grade in elementary school, so she’ll be starting at Crystal Academy this fall.

Hobbies:

Make-Up - Maisie insists she likes to look her best, but the truth is she just likes to fit in with other girls her age. Make-up has become popular among her age group, so she buys all the things and watches all the tutorials, and slathers a bunch of creams and powders on her face. She doesn’t mind the way it looks, but it’s itchy and it smells kind of gross, so she’s always on the lookout for better products. She hates that it feels like a necessity now, but she also wouldn’t be caught dead leaving the house with a bare face.

Social Media - What else is there to do when you’re sitting around bored out of your mind, or hanging around with a bunch of people you don’t want to talk to? Maisie’s preferred haunts are TikTok and Instagram, but she’ll turn to Twitter for, like, current news. That’s a great place to get news, right? She won’t touch Facebook. That’s for old people. She spends most of her time scrolling and consuming content more than she posts anything of her own, except her Instagram is full of bad quality photos. It’s an aesthetic.

Arts & Crafts - When she can pull herself away from her phone, Maisie likes to make crafts. It’s something calming to do, even if they turn out garbage. Sometimes they’re better when they’re bad. Like, it’s funny when the cat ornament she was putting together looks a little squashed. She goes to the craft store often, and definitely stocks up on seasonal items to make in her down time. If her friends express an interest, she can be convinced to give some away as gifts.

Virtues:

Sociable - As the least popular among her popular group of friends back in her hometown, Maisie made herself be social to stand out. She can strike up a conversation with almost anyone, almost anywhere. Naturally friendly, Maisie doesn’t have much trouble adapting to social settings. Even if she isn’t all that interested in a topic, she can still hold a conversation about it as long as she needs to. Sometimes she learns things along the way, which is cool, because she can usually apply what she’s learned to some other conversation later.

Tenacious - A strong-willed girl who knows what she wants, Maisie generally doesn’t give into fear. If something scares her, she’ll push herself forward until she works through it. If something disappoints her, she’ll find some way to make it better. If someone’s mean to her, well… she doesn’t have a problem telling them exactly where they can shove it. She knows her worth, and she isn’t afraid to make sure others know it, too.

Flaws:

Impetuous - Sometimes, Maisie doesn’t think things through. She knows what she wants, after all, and she generally does whatever she has to in order to get it, even if that occasionally means stepping over other people. Maisis is stubborn and a bit impulsive — reckless, if you will. She prefers the term “spontaneous,” but her dad insists that’s too tame, especially when she gets herself into tricky situations. Maisie insists this habit of hers has its benefits, in that it keeps life exciting.

Envious - Again, Maisie is a girl who knows what she wants. Sometimes, she doesn’t get what she wants, in which case Maisie is a girl who is no stranger to jealousy. She’ll pout and whine and stare with greedy eyes. She can grow resentful when she feels like other people are shoving their good fortune in her face. Others might call her moody. Maisie thinks she’d be a lot less moody if the world wasn’t so unfair.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: Round and goldenrod in color.

Hair: Her hair is naturally blonde, but Maisie has always thought it boring, so after her parents’ divorce, she convinced her dad to let her dye it. Now her hair is a muted sky blue, cut into a bob at mid-neck, with short bangs. Maisie doesn’t care that middle parts are in these days. She still parts her hair to the side.

Face: A heart-shaped face with full lips and a pointed, slightly upturned nose.

Skin Tone: Generic caucasian, not exactly pale, but she doesn’t sport a tan either.

Body Type: Currently a bit thin and gangly, but she’s still growing into her figure. Maisie stands at an unimpressive 5’3”.

Clothes: Maisie likes the prairie dresses that are currently in fashion. She’s also a fan of high waisted jeans and crop tops. For shoes, she tends to go with comfortable sneakers and slip ons.

It will probably take me forever to complete this, sorry in advance.
