Minuette

In her old life, Minuette was a rather shy child. She doesn't have many memories from these years, but she has had these gaps filled in by talking with her brother. Minuette lived with her mother near the Karkaton border with the Realm of The Fey. In these times, there wasn't much mingling between the elves within the realm and those outside. Despite this, Minuette grew up as a half-elf. Her father was never present and her mother wouldn't talk about him. Min lived fairly isolated, a fair ways awy from the nearest village. After a while, she grew rebellious and began to sneak out of the house, eventually finding her way into the forest in the Realm of the Fey. She found a small clearing within, and would return there often. It was far enough that she knew her mom wouldn't find her, and seemingly isolated enough that no one other than herself would stumble upon it by chance.

That is until one day, when she found someone else within the clearing. She had stumbled in and found another person, an elf that was quite obviously from the higher rungs of society. Initially it was very awkward and stiff between them, though after a while the two found that they were more compatible as friends than anything. This elf she had met was named Calborn, and he was the son of an affluent family within the High Court in Realm of The Fey. Despite this, he had little support in anything other than finances, and felt ostracized and separate from his family and those around him. Over this, the two bonded, and would often set up times to come and meet eachother within this clearing. Most of their time together was spent sharing their problems and messing around, though occassionally Cal would bring little trinkets or snacks to give to Min.

Over time, Min found herself becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the fact that Calborn had much more he could part with and give to her like it was nothing, while she found herself struggling more and more in general. Slowly, this began to drive a wedge between the two, and coupled with increasing stress and control put onto her by her mom, Minuette began showing up less and less. Eventually, she was able to piece together that Calborn's father was also hers, and that he had left her mother to attend higher duties at the Court. This resentment manifested in her last meeting with Calborn, where she took out her anger on him, and told him not to look for her anymore. After this, she returned to her home, where her resentment of herself only grew.

Eventually, Minuette couln't take the shame, stress, and hatred of herself any longer, and casted away her human form, becoming the Dark Curse. As the curse, she would go on a rege-filled blind attack on anything that came near her, and news of a fearful monster would make it's way into Realm of The Fey. Hearing these reports, Calborn would leave on his own to go and find Min, hoping that she was alive. When he arrived in Karkaton, he fought with the Curse, and after losing an eye, was told to leave in a familiar voice. Realizing that his sister was the Curse itself, he was able to take her by surprise and seal her away into a box. For the next 1000 years, this is where Min would reside.

Having been reborn, Minuette was very resistant to the idea of being human again. Traveling with the Great Sage Lurlene to attone, Min felt that she was too far removed from being human, and was very obstinate in any attempt to make her so. Despite having a human body, Min was still able to access some of the magic she had as the Curse, though it was only used on the amulet that hung around her neck. Her soul had been bound to it, and thus her physical body was really only a vessel. Slowly, Minuette was able to confront some of the shame she had for herself, and began to calm down and come to somewhat of an understanding of her life and others. At this, she was given back to the main party. She still struggles with the disconnect between herself now, her old else, and wether she still is the Curse or not. She's reconnected with her brother, though she feels guilty in having him both bring her back, but also for him to cast his own humanity away in order to do so.

Min has tried to break the amulet that holds her being. The only thing that's come of it is awful pain. It's nearly indestructable, and only out of sheer desperation to make it do Something has she even slightly chipped it. While Min had a lot more dtermination to break it when she was first reborn, overtime she's begrudgingly accepted the situation. Despite that, if she could, she would break it, if only to answer the question of if her soul is still cursed or not.

Despite this, overall Minuette is doing better. She has a much larger support system and people that genuinely care for her. While she still finds it hard to communicate sometimes, she's making an effort to be a better person. She knows that she can't ever make up for all the pain and hurt she's caused, but that doesn't stop her from trying to be happy for herself.
