Minton Pan

Minton Pan is the successor of the shepherdess from the Shepherdess and the Chimney sweep. Due to extended contact with magical energy and passing 100 years of age, she gained a soul and out of convenient similarity to a certain fairytale, a destiny. With very little involvement in the destiny conflict, her alignment with the Rebels was mostly due to outsider categorisation and a general preference for the outdoors rather than a single playroom (which is incredibly claustrophobic now that she's full size.)

Personality
To Minton, the world is absolutely amazing. Although she's mentally 16-17 she has been 'alive' for only a very short amount of time and has spent her prior existence indoors. This means that everything about the world feels very new and amazing to her and she holds a very raw joy towards everything she experiences. This has earned her a reputation as a childish and naive person, and in some aspects, they're correct. Minton is a peculiar mix of century-old wisdoms and the childishness of a permanent nursery resident.

Min is a rather soft spoken and usually courteous girl. She's indiscriminately friendly and open to others which makes her very approachable. She rarely pays attention to rumours about other people which means she possesses no preconceptions about them. Min isn't too bothered with other's opinions of her either. When meeting someone for the first time she tends to find everything about them interesting, every single quality they have whether that be good or bad. She doesn't understand why people don't find the different mixes of qualities that form an identity utterly fascinating. They provide a sharp contrast to the flock of identical sheep that she's used to. Well not that she's had a flock really.

Due to literally being made as a shepherdess, she has taken on some of these traits as a part of her identity. She has an altruistic attitude to others and a nurturing

Interests and hobbies
Min is most frequently found in the various shopping districts window shopping. She's one of Eah's poorer students so due to lack of pocket money she mostly satisfies herself with looking. That is, until she arrives at a second hand store in which she can indulge herself in her favourite hobby- clothes shopping. She can search for similar articles of clothing to the high street fashions and takes them home to further modify. She has one of the most detailed understandings of Book End and the surrounding shops you'll ever find. You need something, she'll have found seven potential suppliers, complete with a list of offers and a comparison of quality. She has steadily become increasingly faster and now tends not to spend too long in any single shop, however, and can usually be done browsing within five minutes.

Min also enjoys customising and modifying her clothes in any way possible. Oftentimes she converts them so thoroughly that they are completely unrecognisable. She is rather creative with her changes and doesn't worry overly much about convention. This means they range from pretty to horrendous (if they're too bad she'll just tie them on as an armband.) She finds the infinite possibilities very exciting so channels a lot of her creative energy into it.

Creatively, she is most skilled as a ceramicist (for obvious reasons.) She likes doing it, but often lacks the money to buy materials, which is why she focuses on clothes. What little she does have, she conserves mainly for replacement parts for broken figures.

In fact she likes any sort of DIY. Spending her entire existence as an ornament means that the idea of having some sort of use sounds really interesting. At the beginning she was rather bad at it but living in an old house, plenty of opportunities for practice arose. Once she worked out how to broaden her talent at reconstruction of smaller daintier objects to larger projects, she found herself just as skilled with a hammer as with a sewing needle or tweezers. She also seems to have picked up an extra skill of being able to use old and rusted tools as efficiently as possible (because she can't afford decent equipment...)

She is commonly found helping out at her home, Yesteryears and also spends a lot of time in her room here. She almost spends more time here than in her room at the school. Yesteryears is also her favourite stargazing spot. She frequently sits on the roof after dark staring at the night sky which appears absolutely amazing to her. She borrows a lot of astronomy books from the library which she reads between classes. To earn money, she works after school at the local café. She's pretty diligent. After all she wants a telescope and more glue.

Another thing she frequently purchases are old and broken china figures or toys. She has a natural talent for reconstruction and can be remarkably precise and delicate, a natural effect of being made of the same materials she's using, I suppose. She is very dedicated to fixing them and replacing broken parts as she herself understands the pain of being incomplete. She doesn't really know what to do with them afterwards though. She also likes blatant knockoffs which she'll buy less frequently. She especially likes bootleg t shirts with strange captions.

She likes sports, even if she can't play any ball games. Instead she simply watches them, often with her grandfather Wilhelm. She's got detailed and up to date knowledge of many sports, as well as a surprisingly in depth knowledge of historical sports, mostly due to Wilhelm's influence.

Min isn't opposed to trying other's hobbies if asked meaning she's also tried a range of other activities such as urban exploration, myology, knitting and bouldering, among others.

Appearance
Minton is rather tall, with long limbs and few curves. She has pale skin with a slight bluish tint due to her porcelain origins. If inspected closely, craquelure is visible covering her entire body. Her cheeks have a slight blush effect on them. Her hair is straight, long and dark brown but light reflections reveal a soft pink. Overall her colouration is rather delicate, making her appear rather fragile.

Her fashion style is a far cry from her original pastel pinks and blues, however. She layers clothes of varying patterns and hues, not minding if they appear ugly or worn. Some of her clothes make the most fashion forward of the other students flinch on a daily basis. But well... it was 99 cents.

Min's role
Min is meant to be the shepherdess from the tale, destined to try to flee with her beloved only to remain in the playroom. Min has no relation to the last shepherdess and got the destiny due to being a china shepherdess who came to life. Min was simply a mass produced china figure who resided in a nursery until eventually after changing hands multiple times ended up as an antique within Yesteryears. After a combination of blue fairy magic and age, she came to life. She ended up living there with Wilhelm Andrews and Maho as a strange sort of family. She's only been animate for a few years before going to EAH.

Min doesn't really think about her story at all and she hasn't met her chimney sweep either. Her story remains an abstraction to her. She's not a fan of the idea that she'd be so afraid of the outdoors that she'd stay on a mantlepiece for the rest of her days but she barely thinks about it so her rebel categorisation is mostly just someone else's decision.

Wilhelm Andrews
Wilhelm is her grandfather figure and her only family really. They have a close relationship, with Min and Maho visiting Yesteryears almost daily and helping the elderly man for extended periods of time. However the shop is small which is why they board at the school.

Maho
Maho and her are somewhere between bet friends and family (they have a very abstract understanding of family.) They spend a lot of time together and provide a good balance between them.

Daiki Dock
As a helper at Yesteryears and another frequent face at the shopping district, they're very friendly to each other. They spend quite a bit of time in the evening after school and work walking around together.

Pets
Min counts her flock of toy sheep as her pets, animate or not. However her main pet, one she wouldn't give away, is a small living wooden tortoise that some child had glued cotton wool to the shell of. She found him one day while browsing and fell in love immediately. He's incredibly easy to look after and is rather dozy.

Trivia/Notes

 * She lacks a mirror phone which means she's usually out of the loop.
