[classy=appdesc]Oh, hey Astoria, Oregon! Look who's it is! It's Wilhelmina Gemma Bakker! Oh, uh... perhaps you know them by their nickname, Mina? Anyway, this certain blessing in disguise came to us on August 23rd, and grew up to be a hefty five feet plus eight and one half inches. You can always tell it's Mina because of their super bright blonde hair, blue eyes and contagious laugh. Not to mention they've gotten themselves an amazing fashion sense! You know, everyone says they look like taylor momsen? I personally don't see it though ....

BASICS: power/occupation/living space
POWER: Mina can glow in the dark. No, really, that's it. She can glow in different colors and intensities (she's almost always glowing, actually). When she was little, it just reflected her mood, but now she's got pretty good control over it all. She can even glow multiple colors. It can be kind of hard to see in daylight and the like, but if she's really, really emotional or just exerting a lot of power, she can glow really, really bright and hurt people's eyes. That's why she's at AMG, because someone complained one night and the government was all "NO TOLERANCE" and also her sisters and brothers all go here. So.
OCCUPATION: Just a student, probably going to head into some kind of art or djing or something. Actually, she's a pretty good dj.
LIVING SPACE: DORM ROOOOOOMS it's decorated with all kinds of silly stuff and is very, very bright. Her room at home has black walls splattered with neon paints, and she tried doing that once at AM but got in trouble.
Mina Says:My power is pretty awesome. I mean, it's kind of useless, but I love it. I think it's cool. And it's easy to control, unlike Bekka's. Of course she get everything cool in life like a normal name so I'm glad her power is hard to control. On a different note, my hair seems to get brighter and brighter the older I get. Like, I've never dyed it, forshizz up the spout.

PAST: family/childhood/hardships/present
FAMILY: Mina has a very large, happy family. Her parents are Dutch, and her mom was preggo with her (and two of Mina's siblings) on the trip over. Mina has a total of eight siblings. There's Klaas (25) and Rens (24), who were both born in the Netherlands. After moving to Oregon, along came Mina, Silke, Vera and Hilda (they are, luckily, fraternal quadruplets), all seventeen. Two years later came Rebekka (15), then Ludolf (13), and finally Carolien (10). Mina's parents, Thirza (mom, 42) and Milan (dad, 45), got together when they were seveteen and twenty, respectively. They've been happily in love ever since, as you can tell from the large amount of kids. They don't have any powers, but most of the kids do. Klass and Rens are both normal; Mina glows, Silke can teleport, Vera converts stuff into different states of matter, and Hilda can change her personal gravity; Bekka can see what other people have seen in the past twenty-four hours (she gets all kinds of overload); Ludolf can change his appearance, and Carolien has recently discovered she can access people's memories. It's a very, very hectic family.
CHILDHOOD: Mina had a pretty happy childhood, for having such a large family. There was always a lot of love from her parents, and she never felt unwanted or like she wasn't getting enough attention. She was bullied when she was younger, partly because of her name, but she made a few friends from a very young age that she has kept in touch with her entire life. Mina's gone through a few phases, especially in her teen years, playing with her identity- having three other people who look a whole lot like you (not identical, but close) can make you wonder who you are. There was the cheerleader phase, and then the goth/punk/rebel phase, and now she's easing into what feels like her real self- someone kind of artistic, really funky, great to talk to, and who love loves loves to paint.
HARDSHIPS: Her household has had ten people in it since she was seven, so unsurprisingly, money has always been kind of tight. The fact that she and most of her siblings were able to attend AMG made things easier, even if Mina doesn't get to visit her home often (flights are expensive and Silke can't teleport that far). Another problem Mina's had for a lot of her life was an identity issue, when people would confuse her with her sisters and all of that. And then of course there was that period from when she was about fourteen and a half until she was sixteen where she was suuuuch a badass and a troublemaker and oh god it's so embarassing.
PRESENT: Mina's mellowed out a bit over the past year or so, calming down from her heavy makeup and rebel days. She's silly and artistic and sensitive and sweet and an amazing friend. She's fairly quiet in class and around people, but once you get to know her, she's loud and funny and amazing.
Mina Says:Do not even talk to me about when I was fifteen okay. I don't wear that much makeup anymore, and I don't sleep around or make out with girls or do any of the hardcore partying and I don't cut anymore and I am so done with that and that whole crowd. I'm just glad I never got that tattoo I almost got a terrible tattoo that said something like "YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE" and oh my god i was going to get a tatoo of yolo. I can't believe. I don't even. What. And I was a raver for a while, too. I got my ass kicked when I tried ecstasy that one time. Le sigh. I'm glad the only thing left from that bit of my life is a nasty nicotine addiction.
YELLOW
TRUTHS: passions/dreams/loves/wishes
PASSIONS: Mina's always been painting and drawing and doodling her. As such, she's incredibly talented, and her true passion is painting murals. If Mina gets the chance, she'll paint every wall of the school she can reach in a massive mural. So far it hasn't worked out.
DREAMS: It's hardly a surprise she wants to be a successful artist, but for Mina, that could be simply going to college and studying art and becoming an art teacher. She loves it, and it's what she wants to do.

GREEN
LIES: problems/obstacles/flaws
PROBLEMS: Mina's got ninety-nine problems, but a bitch ain't one.
1-6: Her best friend is a moron. 7. She can never remember the words to songs. 8-15: Bekka gets everything awesome ever. 16-18: Three people that look too similar to her. 19-24: The ones that don't look quite as similar as her. 25 & 26: Parents that found true love. 27: This is the age all artists die. The good ones anyway. 28-34: A string of friends still trying to get her to cut and do drugs and be bad. 35-41: All of her celebrity crushes are gay, dead, old or taken. 42: She still didn't know the answer to life, the universe, and everything. 43: Ruby never gets jokes like that. 44: No one reads anymore. 45: People ask her to draw themselves all the time when she's terrible with people unless they're caricatures or really abstract. 45: All Mina has is white people problems. 46: Oh, wait, there's never any money to buy random things whenever she wanted, so there's that. 47: Steve Perry isn't in Journey anymore. 48: Raisin Oatmeal cookies get a bad rep because people confuse them with chocolate chip ones. 49: No one takes Mina seriously. 50-60: Name related problems. 61: Mina's indecisive. 62: No one knows who Neil Young is. 62-66: Ugly scars up and down her arms, wrists and thighs. 67: Mina doesn't remember losing her virginity too well. 68: She didn't even know the guy. 69: There is no one to sixty-nine with right now because Mina is woefully single. 70-73: Mina can't ever get her head out of the clouds so people yell at her. 74: Pop music exists. 74: Ruby loves pop. 75: Justin Bieber was born. 76: Ruby loves J-Bieb. 77: They listen to it every time Ruby drives. 78: Ruby has a license. 79: Mina can't afford to get a car and doesn't have one, but she does have a license at least. 80-82: Glee went from an amazing show to a terrible one. 83: OH GOD I PIERCED THE TOAST. 84-85: Mina always presses too fast on Pokemon and has to talk to the nurse three or four times before being able to heal her damned pokemonz. 86:-92: The pokemon cartridges from when she and her brothers were little are dying, just like her childhood. 93: Mina never got to meet her grandparents. 94: Ruby has the most magnificent hips. Mina does not. 95: Lady Gaga's new album sucked. 96: No one gets the pop culture references Mina makes. 97: No one knows who Sidney Poitier is. 98: Black people are allowed to say 'nigga.' 99: Smoking is gross but Mina does it anyway.
OBSTACLES: Not very many people take Mina seriously, as her best friend is the biggest cutest dope ever and Mina acts that way quite a bit herself. She's grouped in with all of her gigantic family, especially the rest of the quadruplets. Also, she's still trying to get rid of all of the old images of her, when she was busy being a stupid punk.
FLAWS: Mina is impatient, indecisive, impulsive, infamous (as a hardcore punk etc.).
Mina Says:Half of my problems are Ruby, thirty percent are WPP, and the last twenty are real problems. At least a bitch ain't one. Also, it's not my fault that making out with a bunch of shady people will get you a bad rep that takes forever to fix okay. I'm trying.
BLUE
STRENGTHS: friends/lovers/crutches/virtues
FRIENDS: Mina's best friend ever since forever is Ruby Cohen, and she always will be an amazing friend of Mina's. No matter what. <333 Mina has some other friends as well; she's more of a few close friends kind of person, so either you're more of an acquaintance or a close friend.
LOVERS: Although she's slept with a few guys(and a girl that one time), Mina's never been in a real relationship. She's realized as she's matured that she like guys and girls equally as far as the romantic side of things, but when it comes to pure sexual attraction, vaginas kind of gross her out. Anyway, she's currently single and wanting to get a real goddamn boyfriend, so.
CRUTCHES: She smokes way too much. She goes through about two thirds of a pack a day, and she can't even imagine quitting until her life becomes less stressful. It's her way of escaping any kind of uncomfortable decision and is her way of being able to think. She depends on Ruby a lot, just to be there. Other than that, Mina is pretty stable on her own.
VIRTUES: Honest, trustworthy, sensitive, never spills a secret, doesn't indulge in too much
Mina Says:I like being able to trust people and to have them trust me. I've only ever shared a secret once and it was not even a big thing. I still felt awful about it. Oooh, when it comes to the sins and virtues, I have temperance, diligence and kindness, but I fall prey to lust and envy quite a bit. Pride, too, more than I'd like to admit.
INDIGO
WEAKNESSES: vices/heartbreaks/enemies
VICES: On an average day, Mina smokes about two-thirds of a pack of cigarettes, eats half a bar of chocolate, and drinks a cup of coffee every morning. Those are the basic ones.
ENEMIES: There aren't any at the moment of her creation (there may very well be once I get her out there), but Mina's a pretty solid grudge holder. It takes a lot to make yourself up, and this is generally the only time she's stubborn. Still, it takes a long time for her to really need to hold a grudge, so it doesn't happen often.
Mina Says:I just wish people would let up about the smoking thing it's not a big deal. Also, the longest I've held a grudge was seven years. It's... It's a very long, long story. It's still an ongoing grudge. But. Basically it involved Ruby and a nerd bully and a teacher not believing that she could possibly punch Ruby because she was bigger than the other girl. It. It was not pretty.
VIOLET
EXTRAS: opinions/stories/self-esteem
OPINIONS: Mina's opinions are either strong or nonexistent. She has strong opinions on music, movies, actors, and the modern art movement; however, she doesn't pay much attention to politics or the news and doesn't have much to say on it.
The Noodle Incident "Okay, so it's hardly a surprise that I'm a huge hit at raves. I'm an okay DJ, and I make awesome light shows, and I'm a decent dubstepper. Like, the dancing. Anyway. I was getting my glow on, and there was this guy, right? He was totally high on XTC and who knows what else, and he like, asked me if I covered myself in glowsticks. I screamed back some answer I can't remember, but I was glowing and changing colors so like OBVIOUSLY NOT right? Anyway, he takes one of his glowsticks, or someone else's, or something, and he takes out a FREAKING NEEDLE AND INJECTS THE GLOW SHIT INTO HIS ARM. LIKE. WHAT THE HELL. His arm started glowing and it was kind of cool looking but then he started having like a massive seizure. I was one of the only sober people so I had to haul him out of there and call 911 by myself. And then people got mad at me because the rave got broken up before daylight and a bunch of dealers got busted and it was a mess. The next morning I was wired and freaked and Ruby and I got noodles from our favorite noodle place so everything was better in the end. "
SELF-ESTEEM: Somewhat high, as she's really starting to define herself. She looks back into her past and cringes, but she's moving forward and moving on.
Mina Says:NO REALLY WHO THE HELL SHOOTS UP GLOW SHIT.
