When this happens, she can easily feel flummoxed or awkward - traits easily carrying over to her conversational skills with people and it will especially rear its head when she is talking to a crush. Her sense of fantasy and romanticism has often lead her to miss out on a dating life - being firm in the idea that a guy should do the work when sometimes, it really ought to be her. This has been problematic throughout her life and leaves her missing out on what she could have had just because of her ideals and underlining fear of rejection and has lead to years long crushes and unrequited love because the person of her infatuation just simply didn't know. Despite this, Mina does love to talk with those she is confident around. She is usually upbeat, enthusiastic, and optimistic, but, at times, can come up with with all of the worst possible outcomes and talk herself into a panic. She is always blabbing about hypothetical situations and possibilities, often to the irritation of the more practical, down-to-earth people in her life and has a nack for enjoying speculation for the sake of speculation. Mina often needs to talk through her feelings, particularly to her close friends. She doesn’t even really need anyone to actually give her any advice in many cases. She just needs to talk and figure things out externally. Whether or not she acts upon her realizations is an entirely different thing. the history father • Caleb Cohen, 63, Lawyer mother • Lily Cohen, 62, Artisan - Pottery siblings • ----- Cohen, 30 important people • IVAN LEE PARK - childhood best friend & crush hometown • Hickstead, England, UK overall history • Mina's parents first met when her mother did an exchange program for school in Tel Aviv, Israel. It was there where she met her future husband, Caleb Cohen. They couldn't be any more different - he was practical, pragmatic, cautious, and a thinker whereas Lily was a creative, an idealist, and could see the best in people. Despite their differences, they hit it off and what was suppose to be a whirlwind of a six month relationship became something more. After two years of courting and long distance - they tied the knot and since a wife always gets what she wants - they settled down in her hometown of Hickstead, England where several years later - Mina and her older sibling were born. Mina was raised in a loving home, where quick wit and sarcasm was used to defuse situations and following your heart and beliefs were usually tailored made lessons on how to tackle life. Lily especially, encouraged creativity in her children while Caleb held them to being kind and genuine children. An unexpected impact on Mina's life had been the arrival of Seo-Jun and Rachel Sung Park along with their children - particularly their youngest - Ivan. The two of them became the best of friends, always spending time with each other and always being around each other lead Mina to develop a crush on the boy despite the fact that she was certain he had the boy version of cooties. She had been with him on that fateful day his life changed forever - the two of them playing around and climbing trees on his grandparents property. As honorary best friend, she had gotten to come on the trip. That day had been utterly terrifying when she watched him fall from such a height and had been the one to go sprinting off to the ground ups for help. Mina experienced the ups and downs of worry along side his family, from the two broken legs to the sepsis and how ill it made him, and then the eventual amputation of his legs. But she also witnessed how strong he had been through all of it - which only made her feelings grow. Life carried on for Mina. She became known as the awkward, creative arts girl in school with a nack for rambling or talking to much. But she didn't mind as long as she had her best friend Ivan around. She got into doodling and creating designs after taking a small work shop that the art teacher held at Hickstead Secondary school - unknowingly putting her on her future path of becoming a jewelry designer and artisan. Mina loved it - it pushed her mind and creativity as well as gave her a great challenge to work with -whether it was in a computer building program or with her hands. With senior year approaching and the threat of college forcing them to go their separate ways, Mina vowed that she was going to do something about her crush on Ivan - having harbored it all these years even when accepting dates from other boys. But every opportunity that had presented itself to her fell to panic and doubt, leaving her graduating without ever telling him her feelings. Ivan went off to the United States and while Mina managed to get into the jewelry program at Istituto Lorenzo De Medici – The LdM School of Design in Florence, Italy to hone her skills and learn from the best in Europe. The distance did a number on their friendship, starting off decent about staying in contact but time zones and everything else eventually got in the way. Mina learned to accept that Ivan would never be more than a childhood best friend and wonderful memories to cherish throughout her life. She got on with her life as well upon college graduation - taking up to backpacking to learn about various gems throughout the world and designs from various cultures before returning to Hickstead. Even after all the wonders she saw, there was nothing that spoke home to her like Hickstead, England, much to the thrill of her parents. She set up shop at Alcott's Design, thrilled that the local shop would take her on as an artisan with her wild ideas and designs when not requested to do engagement rings and sets. Mina thought herself to have all what she needed in life to make her happy and yes, sometimes she even was able to hold onto some pretty steady relationships even with her quirky personality. Everything was going along smoothly until her sibling dropped a bomb on her - Ivan Park was back in Hickstead. Truthfully, Mina thought it was a joke, but now she has herself keeping a keen lookout whenever she's out and about. the role player alias • forever age • n/a other characters • the herd |
