I've had this sitting in my drafts for a while. I also changed this character's name recently because I thought it fit her better. This is also a NortAlice kid oc. I unfortunately don't have any art of her because I can't draw LOL
So, her name is Marisol Campbell, daughter of Norton and Alice. In terms of looks and personality she is pretty similar to her father, but she does have her mother's freckles. Like Norton, she is fairly tall and above average, she also has pretty long and dark hair that she usually keeps tied back into a bun. As an adult, she has bags under her eyes due to working nights and not getting enough sleep during the day. The reason behind that is mainly because she wants to spend time with her parents, and her job can be demanding at times. Alice always emphasizes that she needs sleep, but Mari just tells her she's fine lmao
She had a pretty good childhood. Mari was the type of kid who preferred reading over playing, she would play with other kids sometimes, but it's usually the family friend's kid or one or two classmates in her in her class. For the most part, though, she was pretty quiet with a deadpanned expression, she just liked observing more than interacting, but she does enjoy mind challenging games that get the gears in her brain turning! She also enjoys horseback-riding, her neighbor lets her ride some of the older horses.
In her teen years, she's pretty much the same except her interest in mechanics and aircrafts grew, but she does have a little bit of a temper during this stage. She's prone to getting snappy when someone she doesn't like tries to be friends with her or if someone is just purposefully aggravating her, so she's gotten into a few scuffles (Poor Alice having to talk to her teachers and principals lmfao), but Mari does remain unbothered about most things, it's until it reaches a point LOL. Alice just standing there with her hands on her hips while Mari is slumped in her seat. Norton would snort only to get a side-glance from Alice.
Once she turned 18, Mari went to school to get her A&P license, which is needed to become an aircraft mechanic. During this time, she worked as an ASM (Aircraft Support Mechanic) for Pan America airline. She also decided to go for a piloting license as well. After school, she finally became an AMT (Aircraft Maintenance Technician) and is finally able to work on aircrafts without supervision. Through the few years she went from mechanic to lead mechanic to being an aircraft inspector to lead aircraft inspector.
What she does is inspect the mechanics work after repairs, sometimes give advice on how to fix things if she decides it needs to be reworked or sometimes just inspect aircrafts that need to be looked over. She's pretty nice about giving advice to mechanics or new inspectors, while she is monotone, some of them can tell she is kind, just not a pushover. She often does butt heads with older inspectors and mechanics, she does understand that the ones who have been in the field longer have more knowledge, but she also knows that old advice can become outdated as the airline industry progresses with technology and she isn't afraid to handle those arguments. She has shined her flashlight in her coworker's face when she has won the argument, but they won't let it go (Inspector flashlights are BRIGHT as hell...)
Since, she works nights, she drinks a lot of coffee. She does drink water, but mostly coffee. She is literally running off of two hours of sleep, coffee, and the will to spite God. Mechanics describe her as someone who be salted caramel, sweet but salty. Her manager offered to move her to day shift and she was like: "Hell no, now go away I'm busy."
At home, she owns two horses and a dog. She'll spend her nights off catching up on sleep or trail riding and hiding from her neighbor down the road because she wants alone time. She made the mistake once of opening the door when they knocked, and she immediately closed it. She does not want to talk about the weather or gossip LMAO.
She had met Orpheus before as an adult, quite the encounter that was for her 😭
She likes: Coffee, horses, and aircrafts
She dislikes: Crowded areas, unexpected visitors, and aircraft fuel (smells terrible)
Notable appearance: Has a scar from her jaw to her nose bridge due to a work-related accident. She also has some grey hair strands despite being in her 20's
Habits: Taps her pen or finger a lot. Slow means she's bored, moderate means she's focusing, and fast means something got her anxious.
