Midnight Chillspine (a.k.a. Night Mare)
Midnight, also known as Night Mare or NM for short, is a Mara from the dark Planet Evermare and a part of the group "The Fearsome Four". She is a small celebrity actress/comedian in Evermare and is Magma's best friend. Midnight left her home planet and choose to travel with Magma once she beat her at her own game by being too emotionally burnt out to be scared by the nightmares she crafted.
Physical Description
Midnight is lean and relatively compact. She is in great enough health to battle and run for quite a decent time.
Midnight has navy blue body fur, with a midnight blue mane and tail. She looks perfectly fine for a member of her species.
She has a face like a pony's, though it lacks any patterns, like the rest of her species.
Midnight, being a Mara, has many abilities, from spraying a (potentially hallucinogenic) shadowy gas from her hooves, to using telekinesis, to manipulating dreams to turn them into nightmares (due to being female). Because she is a Mara, she only has to sleep for two hours a day, which is during the day, as she is nocturnal.
Mental characteristics
Midnight was born and raised in a rural area of Evermare, where she was treated as nothing more than a tool by her parents as a way to impress her matriarch. As Midnight grew up, she became fascinated by the tv shows she would watch, game shows, reality shows, movies of A list tv stars, left on overnight carelessly by her parents, completely absorbed by the idea of someone having an entire world revolve around them. She became passionate about finally getting the attention she needed and grew obsessed with becoming a celebrity, constantly trying to improve her acting and singing abilities, along with her stand up acts, even as a teenager. The day she was picked as an actress for an indie movie was the day her career started. It only grew from that day onwards.
The culture of the entertainment industry within Auroaş slowly got to her even more, causing her to grow more greedy, hedonistic, and reckless. She started to spend her days partying from late night to early morning, she would indulge in exotic foods, expensive cocktails and dance with celebrities, often getting so drunk she had to rely on pictures and video to be even aware of the events that took place. It slowly warped her into the woman she is now. Though, now that she's joined the Four, she has tamed herself on some of these aspects around them, but is still just as shady, overly confident and viceful as she normally is.
Midnight is bisexual and is not above flirting with others to get what she wants out of them. She refuses to marry because she finds dating various folks one after another far too fun to ever give up.
Midnight works at a casino known as The Rave Yard.
She has become a well-known actress, singer, and comedian, having a rise to fame starting when she was a late teen/very young adult and pushing her way into the spotlight past even otherwise impressively popular celebrities, at least for a while. She a well beloved entertainer at a famed casino known as The Rave Yard. She deeply loves and cherishes the day she was picked out for an acting role for an indie film, her very first one.
Losing/failing to scare Magma when they first met, every time she was ever sunburnt by being out without some form of protection against it during the day. Getting exposed for "possessing" illegal substances within the Rave Yard.
She was used mostly as a tool by her parents, leaving her alone when not being used, causing her to become desperate for attention.
Midnight is quite clever, yet pity, and is perfectly willing to use illegal battle moves to say, trip up her target or otherwise leave them prone, stunlock them by repeatedly attacking their head, remove all armor or items her target might have, or even strike them right in the gonads.
Midnight is an opportunist. She is perfectly willing to do whatever she must to complete her goals, no matter what they are, from gaining money, to winning a battle, to getting an item she needs, to getting someone out of the way. She is rather shady and sadistic character, yet, once she joined The Four, she reformed to a perfectly normal and friendly woman used her street smarts to help them out as well.
Midnight believed she was inherently worthless and as a result, required things like fame and power to prove her worth to mostly just herself, and, even held a nihilistic viewpoint once, where she thought that life held no value to it at all and pointless hedonism like indulging in enough drugs to fog her memory of what really happened around her, eating until she felt about to pop and partying until she collapsed of exhaustion or drunkenness.
Cracking a joke about her need for attention, or otherwise about her mental weaknesses, and generally annoying her, doing any of these will result in her invading your dreams to torment you as a form of pity revenge.
Personality Characteristics
Her motivation for joining the Four was because she was beaten by Magma in her challange of trying to scare her out of depression, and then getting caught with illegal substances, preventing her from easily returning to Evermare (mostly just Auroaş). The reason she stayed was because it offered her a chance to indulge in all sorts of diverse desires, from exotic food to unique battle experiences, though she eventually became motivated to ever so slowly reform from her old ways as she grew slightly close to Hypno throughout the course of her adventures with the Four.
Midnight is incredibly good at toying with the minds of others, psychological tricks and such, though she is bad at handling healthy criticism.
Likes : Partying at her Casino, socializing as a whole, gambling, (as long as she has the power), hanging out with the other members of the Four (especially Magma), drinking expensive, or at least well made alcohol (especially vodka), violence, fear from the people she invades the dreams of, eating exotic foods.
Dislikes : Being left alone, not being recognized/known, anything overly saccharine or cute, failing to scare someone in their dreams, lucid dreamers, overly bright/sunny days, healthy criticism, not having power, being bored with nothing available to entertain her, eating cheap food.
Midnight is willing to do pretty much anything for the Four, including handling difficult to navigate conversations to persuade others into not attacking them, getting the four the items they need, or giving them (slightly questionable) advice on how to get out of sticky situations.
Midnight's need for attention, lust for fame and power, ego-centrism and her sadism.
Midnight smiles frequently, though, it is not always the basic cheery smile and can vary from a sadistic grin when facing a weakened target to a smug saleswoman smile when trying to charm others into either giving her what she wants or doing what she asks.
She can also enter a borderline sadistic trance, that happens if she is pushed to her limits in anger or faces someone she hates with a passion prone and open, where she will ruthlessly attack them, a deranged mania consuming her until she wears herself out, forcing her to cool herself off mentally.
She likes to keep her mansion clean but is willing to ignore a lack of perfect cleanliness if she still has things she likes, like bloody horror movies and sweets, while she is relaxing.
Social
She is a member of "The Fearsome Four". She is close to them and is willing to do whatever she can to help them. She is especially close to Magma, who she sees as a best friend after she beat her in her dreams. She later discovered that she liked Magma's life perspective and view on others, Magma seeing others as selfish, cruel and idiotic and Midnight herself seeing most others as either chances to get something, tools, or puzzles to solve. Midnight also slightly admires/is frustrated by the ability Magma has to simply slide off bad things that happen to her in some cases, due to her jaded nature because Midnight likes folk that are hard to scare and are rather tough.
She initially bullies Hypno slightly, pushing him around and sometimes even mocking in a playful yet still slightly mean way, often teasing him on his pacifism. Saying he would be a prone target if he “wouldn’t fight back”, only so show he still could protect himself from attacks via forming psychic shields and telekinetically holding her back, at which point, she would finally start to let her guard down and open up to him.
Her relationship with BW went about easier than her one with Hypno’s, though she did still initially think of him as stupid because of his rural origins. She, however, still considered him strong, as he has experience with nature and toxins and is willing to fight. As time passed, she learned to admire his skills, in pharmacy and especially in his quick thinking, though she does still have a habit of asking to see his collection of toxins, just to get high on the fumes.
Midnight has a younger sister called Maria, who she is quite close to.
Midnight is surprisingly charismatic as well as quite extraverted and confident, being able to sway most to her side. If she chooses not to rely on scare tactics instead, these are all the reasons why she is the spokeswoman for The Fearsome Four.
Midnight, however, can also be rather egotistical at times, which often conflicts with her attempts to charm should her social target manage to be clever enough to poke and prod at her pride through her ultimately shallow show of false confidence or her dodgey past.
She often carries herself in an aloof yet slightly cocky manner.
She likes to party, hang out at The Rave Yard, drink well made Vodka (or really any type of alcohol), gamble, act in movies, sing, do stand-up comedy, hang out with the Four, eat exotic food, watch bloody horror movies, battle using pity tactics, and show off, either on stage, or simply brag about her abilities.
She carries a confident yet casual tone in her voice a lot, calls most folk around her "Kid". Her voice can easily become loud and bold however if she was especially upset by someone when it came to topics like her pride, her achievements and her life regrets.
PA (Personal Assistant) (Trivial)
History
Lyla (along with her brothers) were assigned to assist NM during her time serving as a regular celebrity star at The Rave Yard, Lyla was deeply expecting the relationship to go horribly, although, NM, while far from perfect, especially at the time, she was far from being as obsessively narcissistic as other celebrities.
Lyla was mostly just glad to have a boss who wasn't a complete and total egomanic again.
NM was happy to have a PA who did a decent job, and would offer a word of appreciation for Lyla from time to time, and wouldn't be rude to her
History
Maria, tending to be the more quiet, introspective type, prefered to be on her own more but still wanted to be there for her sister, as she always concerned for her older sister, as she could see right through her sister's pride and into her insecurity and overwhelming fear of failure and made time to talk with her one on one when she could, since it was one of the few times her sister was truly emotionally open and not hiding behind a projection of power. When not fearing for her sister's deep rooted fears however, she enjoys simply hanging around her and talking as, despite being an introvert, Maria still desires to talk with at least those closest to her from time to time to avoid going insane from isolation.
Midnight, being mostly bold and extraverted, thought of her sister as being one of the few, and the first of, those who she will feel safe enough around to put down her shield of pride around, as she would often hang around with her sister to cool off when she needs it, often before she lets herself nap for a bit or after a big (or small) social failure. Midnight, faces two paths at her this current moment in her life, she can either let her genuine passion and love for entertainment grow and thrive as she lays her insecurities to rest so she can truly become her best self, or let those same insecurities and fears overtake her as she lets herself become a slave to her ego, to the point she is nothing more then a hollow shell of desire, discomfort and dread. This inner problem of hers is what often troubles Maria, who tries her best to support Midnight, and encourage her truest goals, hopes and dreams and sweep her fears aside, though she can't help but worry that Midnight will still fall to her fears anyway and that her efforts are fruitless.
Nicknames & Petnames
They refer to each other as "Sis" from time to time
Shared Secrets
Maria knows Midnight is deep down, despite her facade of pride and love of glory, she is scared of anyone seeing through to her more genuine side in fear that someone could take advantage of her and leave her in the dust, she knows Midnight is driven by a genuine passion and love for what she does but also knows her fears have taken over these things and mixing with her cocky nature to create an unending need to show off and be better that never allows her to rest or get herself together or let her mind off anything aside from making sure she is doing "sucesful" regardless of how much it hurts her in the process.
Being a celebrity, Midnight is quite rich. She is able to afford her mansion and partly owning The Rave Yard.
