CAMPER FORM
Name: Mary Mistletoe
Alias: Misty
Age: 12
Gender: Female
Powers: Empathy
Aura: main color - Purple, high frequency, secondary color - green
Appearance:
Height: Height: 5’3" Misty is a scrawny girl in the middle of a growth spurt. She has long slender arms and legs with knobby knees and elbows.
Physical: She has waist length wavy hair an autumnal hue of orange. Normally she wears two braided pigtails with big bows at the end. Her favorite being the sea-green bows she got from her Aunt Eddie on her 11th birthday. She has a slender oval face covered in the same small soft brown freckles that speckle her entire body. Her dark almost forest green eyes, are a piercing contrast from her pale white skin. She is often seen in some variation of a knit cap (usually made by her mother), cream tee-shirt, blue jean overalls, and her kitten printed snow boots (her favorite ensemble). When Misty is outside she loves to wear big puffy snow suits that repel the wet and cold of her wintery hometown.
Posture:
She often slouches to hide her height as she's not used to being taller than others her age and she doesn’t like to draw other people’s attention. Her parents constantly tell her to "sit straight" and "stop slouching".
Body Language: Still a bit clumsy in her everyday actions she is slowly getting used to having longer limbs than she has ever hand before. Her hands usually stay in her pockets when she's walking about and slip behind her when she's talking to someone. She doesn't make much eye contact when talking to people because she finds it intensifies the emotions she feels from them (something she finds quite distracting). Usually she'll focus on their mouth instead which inadvertently has provided her with passable skill at reading lips.
Her eyes appear to glaze over altogether if and when she gets lost in thought. During conversation this can freak people out that already feel as though she isn't invested in the conversation due to her lack of eye contact because after her eyes glaze over she'll then begin to ramble on about where ever her thoughts have taken her. Most often nothing to do with the topic that was at hand. Her parents have taken to snapping or clapping at her to regain her attention during these interludes in her concentration.
Personality:
Her mind goes a mile a minute and she over thinks everything. Quick witted, like her father David, Misty processes information very fast and rarely needs things explained to her twice. This said she tends to think steps beyond an idea and people can get lost in a conversation with her that aren’t used to her jumps from one idea to the next - something her father does regularly. Her mother Sandra sees this as just another thing to love about her daughter. Sandra is used to a conversation about the day’s chores turning into Misty’s monologue about the perplexities of being 12. At which point, Sandra just moves on knowing her daughter has the information she needs or will draw Misty’s attention to the next matter at hand.
What Misty thinks - Misty speaks. Which usually translates to: she’s not afraid to speak her mind (because her thoughts move to fast for her filter to catch up). However, when she’s nervous, uncomfortable, or scared it means she rambles uncontrollably.
Being empathic from an early age Misty often taps into people’s emotions and tries to use that to show she understands them. However this tends to backfire because she instead tends to unsettle people. Her empathy coupled with her quick wit means she’s able to deduce the heart of an issue well beyond her emotional IQ(and her age) to comprehend; Her unabashed honesty often brings to light details other people don’t want to admit to themselves let alone other people. In her small town this has caused her to ostracize herself to many because there are always secrets and people who don’t want to be confronted with thoughts and ideas that challenge their self-made bubbles.
History:
Misty is an only child. Her parent’s names are Sandra and David Mistletoe. Her mom, Sandra, was diagnosed with Endometriosis just after her marriage to David and learned that she couldn't conceive.
Sandra and David were crushed because they had wanted to have a big family. They had talked about having 5-6 children for as long as they had been together, which was nearly a lifetime. At one point the knowledge that they would never conceive threatened to shatter their marriage. That’s when Sandra’s best friend (Eddie Myst) offered to be a surrogate for her and David.
At first Sandra and David couldn’t believe Eddie would offer to have their child. They were touched but declined the offer feeling that it wasn’t meant to be and that they would work something else out. Adoption was discussed but eventually dismissed because the fees were so high. One day Eddie sat down with them both and explained why she wanted to do it. Sandra and David had been her best friends since grade school and she’d never seen them so torn up as when they learned they couldn’t have kids. She, Eddie, didn’t see anyone in her future and since she was clairvoyant that said a bit.
However she did see them with a kid, the one she gave them. So to Eddie it was already decided. She couldn’t help them afford to adopt a child but she could give them a child. Her only condition was that she , Eddie, continue to be in the little boy or girls life as an Aunt. (She knew it was possible for her child to have powers like she did and wanted to be there for the child if those powers happened to develop).
The house Mary lives in has been in the Mistletoe family for generations and when her parents inherited the place they turned it into a Bed and Breakfast so they wouldn't have to sell it. It's a huge 8 bedroom home nestled in a town called WayFar in the mountains.
WayFar sprung up around a hunting lodge in the 1840's that was famed for it's hot springs. Now the town serves as a ski resort and nature retreat as well.
When Mary was 9 years old she got stuck on a ski lift by herself for half of a day. Ever since she's been terrified of heights. So much so she wont look out of windows higher than the ground floor and she clings to the banister whenever she uses the stairs.
