NAME. Mandy Alchimia nee Mim

TITLE. None

SPECIES. Half Dwarf Half Witch

PARENTS. Sneezy & Madam Mim’s daughter

AGE. 20, May 14

TLDR. Chip on her shoulder. Thinks she can do better than the highborn Kings and Queens. Raised to be terrified of villains. “Do better or die trying” and “beauty & brains” are the two swords she’ll die on.

STUDYING: Communications with a chemistry minor

CHARACTERISATION.  She did it once and she’ll do it again. Madam Mim was not going to be sidelined by Merlin. She used her tricks and potions to make one of the seven dwarfs to fall in love with her daughter so she could win her way back into royalty’s good graces. Not knowing who Madeline was, Sneezy brought her to Auradon because she was really strong in chemistry and helped him to develop great anti-sneezing potions for the kingdom. With her father being a great pharmacist and an ally to Snow White, Mandy had a taste of the good life but it was nothing compared to the Charmings and the Bourbons. She wanted to be recognized and known but for her own skills and capabilities not just because who her father is. Those royals have never worked a day in their life, how would they know how hard a ‘normal’ person’s life is. Some of us have to actually work for things. She’s excited to be at school figuring out how to leave her own mark on the world instead of living in her father’s shadows.

PRESENT. Surprise, surprise, Mandy is a chemistry genius but that’s not what she wants to be known for. Beauty and Brains is her motto when it comes to her true passion - beauty pageants. It’s weird though because ever since she’s found this beautiful hair clip her luck just seems to bend to her will whenever she wears it. Yeah her mood is just a little more sour when she wears it but it’s a price she’s willing to pay for a chance to look, act, and feel like a pageant queen.
