Mags Brentwood

Mags Brentwood (a.k.a. The Ghost)

A 17 year-old senior, one of the only who got picked for the cheer team for her incredible acrobatic skills. She is quiet, yet pleasant, and appears happy most of the time.   None would ever suspect the sheer darkness in her life. Sometimes it feels as if the only think keeping her from drowning is her art, a skill she hides from the world to protect it.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

When she was human she had toned muscles on lean limbs and a very eye catching physic. She has good muscle definition and excellent stamina in addition to being incredibly flexible.   Now, however, she is much, much more interesting. Getting used to the Goblin body was more difficult than it should have been, dealing with the larger, more nimble and strong feet to the longer fingers.

Body Features

Her vitiligo often looks like freckles all over her body, stretching over her thighs and stomach. Her Hands are rather calloused from both drawing and cheerleading, and her fingers are long and nimble, good at pulling off tricks and lifting small items off of unsuspecting passerby's. Her smooth waist and defined hips provide an alluring silhouette that many boys (and the occasional girl) has sought after, but none have attained.   most of these traits stayed through her shift, though now no boys are seeking her out, much to her own pleasure.

Facial Features

Sharp, intense, smaller eyes she expertly plays up with make up. Thick, dark eyebrows frame and match her long lashes. High cheek bones and a sharp, long nose lead straight into full, dark lips and a strong, defined jaw. Her skin is incredibly good, as she takes care of it religiously. Most people think it's because she is vain, but in reality it is to keep the bruises from showing.

Identifying Characteristics

Her vitiligo is striking, this paired with her hair is what people usually use to pick her out in a crowd.

Physical quirks

She moves very quietly, almost like a ghost. People are almost always surprised when she walks up behind them or speaks when really quiet.

Whenever she is paying attention to anything, she is also usually doodling flowers and plants. Her fingers trace the shape of things and she is almost always touching walls or rails or something else as she is moving, letting her fingers move along grooves and find little alcoves.

Special abilities

The first thing Mags ever truly stole from an actual store was a deck of cards. Ever since then she has been teaching herself card tricks, funny little magic tricks, and small time game scams in her spare time, only to discover that she is very good at them. Handling cards, flipping them, palming them. It's fun and it's something to impress others with. Also, she can make a mean card castle.

Apparel & Accessories

When she was younger, she was obsessed with pockets. so much so that she made a truly atrocious belt out of spare fabric laying around the house covered in large pouches she could put things in. Now that she is older, she traded out the belt for a large, dark jacket with a deep hood. This is her main outfit piece, and every other outfit is built around it. She usually ends up wearing skirts with leggings or tights, and the occasional dress. Sometimes she'll wear jeans, but you will never see her skin showing. She also almost always end up wearing dark combat books with a slight heel.   Now that she is Goblin, she covers herself in bandages and wrappings to hid her green skin from the world, and wears tattered old clothing over top. No shoes, they just get in the way now. She did keep her jacket, though now it is too large to wear comfortably so she tied it around her waist. That with large bag gives her plenty of storage space.

Specialized Equipment

While she would not be able to pass a test on the subject, Mags is quite good at dealing with injuries and medical situations.   she is also nimble and felxible, making her a fast climber and hard to hit in a fight, as well as speedy and able to get away quick.   She can draw as well, though her skills mainly stick to plant life and detail work and are used to help her remember all the medical plants she comes across.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

When she was young, everything was perfect. Her mother loved her, her father smiled, and she loved being with them. But their little family couldn't stay this good. Her parents started arguing all the time, about little things, about big things, about nothing. By the time she was 8 they never said anything kind to each other any more, only insults and jabs. At 9, they divorced, her mother leaving for Canada on for a job and deciding to not take any one with her. Mags's father spiraled, he turned to Drinking to numb his pain and rage, but it only brought it out further. With no one else around, he started verbally abusing her.
When she was 12, he hit her for the first time. She accidentally dropped one of his computers and it broke. He promised he would never do it again. He lied.
When she started high school she quit the Karate dojo and worked towards cheerleading instead, at least that's what she told everyone. In truth, her father pulled her out, using the money to buy more beer.
She joined the squad at 16, the only sophomore to make it. She also got a tutor to help her keep her grade up and as an excuse to stay away longer. However, the best part of that year was her car. She got a license and spend every dime she could muster on a beat up old truck that was practically scrap metal, but to her, it was the champion, the savior in her life. She still has that car and lovingly takes care of it, though at this point its mainly held together by duct-tape and luck.

Gender Identity

She presents and identifies as a girl.

Sexuality

Mags has never felt attracted to someone before, and she definitely doesn't want anything to do with sex. It's just not something She wants. She can appreciate the visual and aesthetic beauty of the people around her but not the attraction, and for the longest time she thought everyone else was weird for feeling it.

Education

She is in her final year of high school and already prepping for collage, if she can get the money, of course. When she was younger she was in a karate dojo but was pulled out when she started High School.
She also learned a lot from her father, like how to be quiet, how to sneak around, how to steal, how to survive alone.

Employment

For the longest time she worked at Mcdonalds until she could get a job at a remote Starbucks on the other side of town, far away from her school and anyone who would go there. If the money from her job is not enough, though, she has had to resort to stealing wallets from tourists to keep food on the table and clothes on her back.

Accomplishments & Achievements

  • The youngest person to get on to the cheer squad
  • Currently its second in command of said squad, right under Malia.
  • Can successfully pick a lock now
  • Brown belt in karate
  • Got accepted into art school

Failures & Embarrassments

  • hasn't mustered up the courage to fight back against her father
  • Afraid of rejection so she hast told anyone about her art
  • Used to wear truly awful handmade clothes for no reason.
  • Her father

Mental Trauma

Literally anything in relation to her family or home life is traumatic. She has almost no real friends, the closest being JD or her tutor whom she meets up with on a regular basis, but neither know anything about her home life, she doesn't think.

Intellectual Characteristics

While not very intelligent, Mags is incredibly perceptive. She is good at know ing what to say and when to say it. She is incredibly self aware and private. Her grade are good, not good enough to get awarded but not bad enough to be noticed either. If she was given the chance, she would probably do well in a philosophy or sociology class, but that will probably never happen.

Morality & Philosophy

She is against random violence, but not against defending yourself from it. If someone was in danger she would be quick to try and diffuse the situation, not just fight back. In her heart, she is much more of a pacifist, knowing first hand the damage a fist can do.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Mags just wants to get out, get away. she wants to start over where no one knows her. She wants to buy a small art studio in a city where it rains a lot and where tea is common and no one needs anything from her.   For now though, she wants to make it through the year without failing and without anyone finding out her secret.

    Virtues & Personality perks

    She is incredibly perceptive and observant, as well as patient. Given enough time, she can figure out the problem and how to handle it, though communicating it might be hard.
    She is very good at patching people up, a side affect of having to patch herself more often than not. She is an incredible listener and she picks up more than she lets on, she just as no idea how to use it all.

    Vices & Personality flaws

    Whenever she is having a hard day, she can act like an incredible bitch to the people around her, knowing just what to say to hurt the worst without getting called out on it. She is slow to trust people, hesitant to let any one close after the betray by both her parents, which often leaves her isolated in her own mind.

    Hygiene

    She cares a lot about how people perceive her, about her appearance, clothes, and smell. She puts a lot of her energy into making herself look beautiful, and feel good. Almost as if she is trying to wash away everything bad and drown it in flowers and daisies.

    Social

    Contacts & Relations

    Malia- the current Cheer captain and school heartthrob/ Bitch. She and Mags get along in public but alone there is a tention about their relationship, almost as if they threaten each other. She is dating JD right now and there are a ton of rumors about Mags trying to "steal" JD from her so that is why Mags thinks she hates her.
    Chloe- A quieter, happy girl that Mags is helping get her form and dance moves correct. She's a little like a little sister but there is no real connection between them
    Brent- One of the catchers, a tall dark haired class clown that is convinced Mags is playing hard to get but desperately wants him. A general jerk but not overly so
    Alice- The team manager, she makes sure everyone gets to practice on time and in uniform while dealing with all the paper work. Last season she hurt her knee, keeping her from cheering this year so this is how she stays involved.
    Kathy- The brunette bimbo. Honestly, how did she get here. If she weren't so good at flipping she would not be here.
    Michael- The other catcher and much more of a douche. Has made advances on every girl on the squad but he's handsome so its fine (not). Does not like Mags, Mags does not like him, But she trusts him to catch her if she falls. Michael is also JD's best friend so she keeps quiet about everything he does so as not to ruin their relationship.

    Family Ties

    Her only family are her parents, both of whom have skipped out on her in some way or another. Her mom left for Canada, her dad is trying to drown himself in beer.

    Social Aptitude

    While she can hold a conversation pretty well, it is not her favorite thing to do. She would much rather sit and listen, learning all she can without having to speak herself.
    However she has been known to give really good advice when asked for it. Unfortunately, this advice has been tainted by all the rumors that have been spread about her. Because she has rejected so many guys simply because she was just not interested, and some of them got mad and spread rumors that she is a slut, or that she broke up a couple and stole the guy. Since they are just rumors and she's not in the dating field it doesn't really affect her, but people don't listen to her relationship advice anymore.

    Mannerisms

    Unlike most of the other cheerleaders, she isn't naturally bubbly or happy, nor is she incredibly catty. Instead, she radiates an Aura of peace and calm, safety even. She moves gracefully, with poise and purpose that signals intent and wisdom beyond her years.

    Hobbies & Pets

    Does a car count as a pet? if so, Stiles, her car, it totally her pet. She cares for that thing daily, checking the oil, checking the tires, washing him it down. She will have entire conversations with her car if left alone with it too much, and, due to all its engine errors, it will make noises back. Her hobbies are varied, from art to cheerleading and karate. She feels stretched between these three things, unable to give enough time to any one of them without feeling guilty about neglecting the others.

    Speech

    She has a slight British or African accent. You can hear it in her R's, O's, and the definition in her T's

    Wealth & Financial state

    Ever since her dads dinking became a problem, they have always been short on cash. He can't keep a job and she can't work enough to support the both of them so sometimes she has to resort to stealing. Shoplifting, pick-pocketing, breaking and entering. Anything to put food on the table.

    A Spunky cheerleader with a lot of secrets to keep and only two friends to help her keep them.

    Well...Parallel universes exist and I don't like them!

    Ok. everything was fine. School was just starting, parties were going, the general bitchiness of my team at an all time low, and JD and Pepper were finally getting together. (hopefully) it was going great. Then he showed up, Nick, with his golden hair and "adventure". Now i did not want to join this, not really, I was dragged in against my will. I got enough adventure with my night life, stealing and avoiding any chance of going home. So what if i checked out the new kids room in secret or stole a couple things, that it not me saying i wanted adventure. But here i am. One thing rolls into another, turns out JD is in the mod, Nicks sister is kidnapped and Pepper and JD both have MAGIC!   FREAKING MAGIC!!!!   Then they get mad at me for not saying i am a famous thief or that my dads favorite pass time is getting drunk and beating on anything nearby. Anyway, we go and save the girl, find out she too has magic. MAGIC. Because everyone has magic but me apparently.   It's fine.   Then the kid transports me, Pepper, JD, Jess, Stiles, and Salt into ANOTHER WORLD! not only that, but we all changed. yeah. no. JD became some kind of ...high elf thing and he talked with a goddess of life or something and Jess, his dog, turned into a freaking wolf. Pepper got to be a gorgeous Fae creature with a snake-dragon Salt just slithering all over her. Then theres me. I'm a goblin. Short, Green, tricky, and widely hated. I freaked out. Badly. Salt was terrifying, Jess even more so. The only solace I had was that Stiles came through to this world as well, with all my stuff as a box on wheels. apparently it's the entrance to a pocket dimension room where everything own rests, untouched.   Then a walking turtle comes along trying to sell me a freaky-ass potion. I lost it and hid in stiles, kinda paying attention to everything else, kinda not. We almost fought a giant scorpion but apparently the turtle, he said his name we bumble btw, can speak scorpion. Damn. So instead we headed to the Sand Castle (very unhygienic) where i was ridiculed and insulted at the gate so I hid in stiles once again. Apparently Pepper looks like some magical professor at The Institute so we go there, me safely hidden.   This professor tells us all sorts of things that I write down in my notebook, franticly hoping I won't forget it all like I usually do. eventually i got so saturated that I couldn't take in anymore and i just started doing card tricks to clear my brain, letting the familiar movement calm me, even if my hands now had claws.   I don't like this place, not yet, and I want to go home. but i think i could get used to this.

    People in the school
