[ooc] Application
Character: Merryweather Hargreaves
Series: Count Cain
Character Age: 10
Canon:
Count Cain is a Kaori Yuki manga, making it a rather complicated canon with just sliiiiightly psychotic happenings. Set in Victorian times, it centers around the charming and well-off Cain C. Hargreaves: an earl with a penchant for poison and mystery solving, his family issues and his ability to get himself involved in horrifying murderous plots.
Merryweather is Cain's half-sister, believed to be the daughter of Cain's father and a maid. Considering that she lived as a fortune teller on the streets before Cain took her in, it's little surprise that Merryweather ended up spunky and unafraid of standing up for people she cares for. Being part of the Hargreaves family often places her in danger (getting kidnapped, witnessing murders? Pfft! It happens!), but the 10-year-old copes with it surprisingly well, and continues to be strong because of the devotion between herself and her brother. Merryweather genuinely has a good heart and is sweet and polite unless provoked, but like a child, she can be impatient, naive and bratty. As much as she loves her brother, it doesn't stop her from getting annoyed with him every now and then and making him know exactly how she feels (i.e. she tops him).
Merryweather is being apped from the end of volume 7 of Godchild. Oscar is someone who takes care of Merryweather when Big Bro's away. He's also topped by her. Permission has been granted for mentioning Cain in the app!
Sample Post:
I know I promised Big Brother not to wander off on my own. Technically, I didn't, because Oscar was with me... except now he's missing and I'm lost. ... Oops? It's not such a big deal, right? It's Big Brother's fault for leaving me at home for so long anyway! And I wasn't even trying to lose Oscar this time.
Hmmmph, I will eventually find my way back! Just give me some time, I can figure this out. Right after Madam Maybelline comes back and I finish my tea. I mean, it's not like I could say no to the old lady, especially since she looked so lonely and sick! She told me that her son got kidnapped by someone called Marcy and got "wanged in the yee". I don't know exactly what that means, but sounds a lot to me like her son abandoned her for his lover... and she doesn't realize it, the poor gentle dame. She's a little odd, but only a heartless person would turn down her invitation! I'm glad I can keep her company for at least awhile, since she looked so happy when I spoke to her. Though I don't know if she understands what I'm saying. When I asked her about her gray complexion, she kept repeating her name, saying (singing?) "It's Maybelline!" over and over again. Maybe she just wants someone to remember her.
I wonder where I am, though. I should have asked Madam Maybelline before she got up to get the tea. Fancy having tea here! It's a little strange, because this place doesn't really have the atmosphere for drinking tea. The surroundings aren't really what I consider pretty and the dancing men in purple are rather... uhm. C-could this be one of those parties Big Brother tells me I'm too young to attend? I-I think I might be beginning to see his point. But! Everyone has their quirks, right? If Madam Maybelline likes it here, I'll have tea with her here!
--oh, she's back with the tea. Thank you very much for the-- ah. Did... did you accidentally use water from the lake, Madam Maybelline? I'm not sure if I'm used to drinking such brightly coloured tea. I might say there's poison, but-- O-oh no, please don't cry, I didn't mean anything bad! How about-- you like singing, don't you? I'll sing you a nursery rhyme that I heard a toucan here singing! You mustn't cry, all right? I'd like to see a smile on your face. I'll start now:
Rub a dub dub,
Three men in a tub,
And who do you think they be?
The pirate, the ninja,
The suit-wearing mafia.
Keep them in, gay all three!
It's got a rather cute tune! Though the rhyming isn't very good. They say that some nursery rhymes actually have hidden meanings, but this one doesn't really make much sense, does it? Sometimes nursery rhymes are like that. I'm glad the three end up happy, though!
