History:

--- Childhood Years
Little Minneiah “Minnie” Ansel was the youngest daughter among the higher rankings of the Ansel clan. Blessed with curiosity for topics of higher learning, Minnie’s intelligence grew fast in her youth. Her gift appeared just as early, showcasing a magical phenomenon that was inherited from the family tree. Encouraged by her mother to match her wits to men as well, Minnie came to possess dreams of becoming something of her own. Yet in face of those who felt offended by her intellectual nature, the girl could only see a narrow, difficult road beyond the books she read.

--- Early Teenage Years
With the pressure of appearances to the other high class families, her parents eventually told the growing girl to hold her tongue in face of society. She was taught to converse with a cover of politeness and pleasantry, but at times, that felt more tiredly sugar-coated. Through observing the freedom bestowed on her three older brothers (Noë, Jonas, and Jean), Minnie realized the stark difference in their opportunities, despite her parents being more open to her behind closed doors.

--- Mid Teenage Years
When her brothers were already sent off to higher education, Minnie was given a choice from her parents on how to define her own future. Girls her age were already preparing themselves to find suitors for marriage. But Minnie’s parents knew she had desire and potential to go farther than society gave her credit for.

The chemistry of perfume, mixed with the French obsession, made her sights set on that.

Yet the many French perfume houses she approached would not offer her apprenticeship. Her parents offered to bribe any of these houses to teach her the practice, but she resorted to something different: dressing down as one of the working class and becoming a spy instead.

Approaching one of the perfume houses again, Minnie found herself a simple, low-paying job as a delivery girl, and strangely enough, she also found a small piece of expectation coming from one of the chemists working at the place.

While she was running around the city, collecting ingredients, making orders, eying the neighborhood competition, sneaking peeks inside the perfume house, Minnie was learning a part of the craft that lead to a larger whole. She was determined to prove herself to others and ascend beyond their expectations, even if that meant traveling outside the city for a days on end in order to complete an assignment.

--- Full Moon
A delayed search for golden rod flowers lead to an attack at nightfall. The carriage was wrecked, the horse fallen to injury, the escort gone, and Minnie herself- bleeding from a large bite wound on her stomach. Left with flashes of horrific terror, she woke up in a doctor’s care, and thought the worst was over.

One month passed, writing letters to home to assure her family that she was fine while she was recovering in a distant town. When the full moon loomed in the coming night sky once again, nobody suspected a curse- something out of a legend- to transform the young woman into a terrifying beast this time around.

--- Change
Waking up upon morning, she found herself, human again, in another place. A house, away from town. New injuries marked her flesh, treated by the lycan that fought her and brought the newborn into his home once the night was over. He explained to her what she had become, what beastly spirit now joined with her soul. And there was no cure. It was too late for one.

Denial, anger, then hopelessness took over her. Minnie had to make another choice for herself. She could decide that her life was over right then and there, or...she could try to live, no matter what stands in her away.

Trying to live meant returning home and become a perfumer. It was a life that suddenly seemed unsuited to her now- the attempt to be human. Even the lycan, who Minnie began to grow close to after weeks with him, told her it’d be too difficult to try. But Minnie was more reluctant to leave her old life behind, not because of the luxury, but because she had wanted to accomplish something for herself for so long. She told him she’d come back to him whenever the full moon returned, relying on his presence to make this nightmare into something a little bit more hopeful.

--- Late Teenage Years
Returning home, Minnie resumed her life with a cover of normalcy, now possessing a greater determination to become a perfumer sooner than later. The next couple of years, after finishing her delivery routes, she would practice the scented craft in the freedom under her family’s roof, utilizing the knowledge she gained from her job assignments to piece together the process. And every full moon, she would meet Mr.Lycan, learning how to endure the beastly transformations with him.

Then there came a time when the maturing young woman would decide to move to London, England. With the lesser amount of competition in the British perfume industry, Minnie saw a good starting point for herself as an independent perfume maker. She managed a whole lot of good in France, selling her own perfume goods under a male pseudonym, but now it was time to face the world and brave the storm.

--- Early Twenties
Starting up shop in a new country had been a difficult enough process on its own. Business had started slow for the French newcomer, but each sale was just another step forward to success in the opening years. Along the winding road of shopkeeping, London revealed itself more to Minnie as a city filled with supernatural danger, and the young wolf could not keep herself from getting herself or the beast involved. But among the horrifying things that have happened, she found some good relationships to keep herself company without being part of a Pack. It wasn’t quite the same, yet it wasn’t all too different either. Living...didn’t have to be hard.

--- Mid Twenties (Present)
When new vampires started to fill the city with Lady Nocturne's absence, Minnie took firm watch over her shop and of herself. But on those cold night runs, she couldn't always avoid the hungriest ones. But she tore her way out from their grasps with surprising fire, given chances to let out her lycan aggression. Despite being partly thankful for the hunters that came to deal with the new problem, Minnie knew she was just as vulnerable to their weapons as any other creature, especially on those horrid full moons. She had to lay low even further, and she made more trips out of the country for research and gathering perfume ingredients. Should anything happen to her shop and her employees, she was back in a flash to protect her life's work. Though her trips beyond the border of England were filled with reunited bonds, and they helped her get a little more closer to peace between her human and lycan sides. Minnie needed the strength to protect what was hers in this dangerous world, and that's why she's back in London, ready for anything.

Dislikes:
- anyone who tries to eat her
