Description
[[This application is retired; for the current application, go HERE ]]"I've left Lilypad for a bit. I need some space. I'll be back soon."
-Mimo, Mello's Booklet
ORIGINAL NON-GREYED OUT IMAGE
Name: Mimo
Birthday: February 13
Species: Mink
Catchphrase: "Sniff"
Quote: "I'm here!... Um, but you don't have to say anything... It's alright..."
Character Type(s): Normal
Personality: Mimo is the indecisive sort, wavering between being something and becoming something else. She is nervous and cautious when she tries to interact with others, perhaps as a result of some latent social paranoia. She bounces constantly between wanting to talk to people and wanting to be alone, trying to follow the crowd and moving on to do her own thing... Her timid nature and conflicting behavior is a bit of a turn-off for many villagers and as a result Mimo doesn't seem to have many acquaintances yet.
Mimo is entirely self-conscious of her actions and how they might affect how others perceive them. She will stutter over her own words, craft intricate yet deeply unrealistic lies, or even stand in silence if Mimo even considers that she will look badly to someone. She can easily be considered a pushover to anyone who even utters her name, if they can even manage to speak with her at that point.
When left to her own devices, her mind wanders to unbelievably abstract ideas. How might the world change if the grass was blue? Would villagers question the state of the world had it been different from the start? What would her vision look like if she had five eyes? It's easy for her to become entranced into doing whatever task she desires, with strange and exotic questions that pepper her mind throughout.
Mimo hasn't quite found her path to a hearty life and is still trying to figure out what she wants to be, as well as searching for the "thing" that validates her existence.
History: (Not yet distinguished)
Other:
Mimo tends to follow villagers around on occasion and watch them from a distance. If she's spotted at all while doing this, she will awkwardly step away and pretend nothing happened.
The design on Mimo's sweater says "Hot Choclety Milk".
Mimo's current favorite beverage is melon soda, and her current favorite sweet is saltwater taffy.

It was quiet for a walk and the rusty-red bat was smiling and cheery. Just a simple walk around town for errands. As she did, she spotted someone new to speak to- well... not new per se. Didn't this mink show up to a movie night she was hosting once? Whatever the case, she decided to greet the mink softly. She seemed... nervous- just like Snips was.
Yuri: Privyet, hello there. How are you today?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Were they approaching her? They couldn't have been, maybe there was someone behind her? She did a quick once-over, turning around to check if anyone was there, and... nobody.
There was an awkward pause between Yuri's statement and Mimo's gesture, more than likely due to her having to register what was going on. That and... maybe a number of other reasons.
Almost unlike her, Mimo tried to regain her composure. Nervously laughing it off, she faced the bat with a bit of fake bravado,
Mimo: Hha-ha! I um, I-I d-didn't r-realize you were t-t-talking to me! Sorry--
Mimo's eyes darted to the floor, and she had tugged on the edge of her sleeve nervously. She had seen this person before, once, but she didn't think that, of all things, would warrant them to actually speak to them.
Mimo: I'm... o-okay. Sorry to bother you...

Yuri was confused to be shortly said. Not annoyed, just confused. Why was she apologizing? She hadn't even done anything yet- and she seemed to be flipping back and forth with confidence. Were things okay with them?
Yuri: You do not have to be sorry for anything. It is I who is bothering you after all.
The bat calmly held out her only hand-wing for Mimo.
Yuri: Let us start slower. My name is Yuri, tikho. What is yours?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It seemed as if the gesture, maybe paired with the odd and seemingly forced interaction, made her mildly uncomfortable. Mimo was very hesitant to return it, though ultimately decided to extend her hand out to the bat for a shake.
Mimo: I-It's Mimo...
She spoke quietly. She wasn't sure if this person wanted anything from her, or wanted to ask or anything, or something else... Considering her recent circumstance, she just wasn't sure what to think.

If there's one thing Yuri can see, it's the discomfort she had. All she wanted to do was say hi, get to know who she was. Maybe become acquaintances... yet the result is always the same for her. Sometimes she wondered if the effort was worth it. Despite the thought she followed through with the handshake. she then looked away and sighed. It was only for a moment before her attention focused back on the mink.
Yuri: It is nice to meet you Mimo...
Yuri's ears dropped. Her voice wavered a smidgen. It was clear Yuri's second thoughts were really kicking in now.
Yuri: ...please be honest with me. Am I... do you... Do you want me to go? All I wished to do was talk... I had seen you before so I... I...
Yuri: If you don't want me around that is fine. If it makes you happy I will go.
It hurt but the one thing on her mind was that she wants her to be happy and if being around meant the opposite then she'll disappear from her life forever- just to know Mimo smiled and was happy.

Mimo had felt the guilt settle in when Yuri's demeanor had changed for the worse. As uncomfortable as the encounter made her, she just... It was doubly worse now that she was getting discouraged.
Mimo: It's... I...
Mimo: hh..
Mimo: I just-- It's hard for me! You're not any problem, I-I just c-can't talk to people! I just can't! It's not like I don't want you around, It's not your fault!
In just a moment's time, Mimo's expression was utterly panic-striken. It took another second for her to regain her usual nervous guise.
Mimo: I'm s-sorry for making such a b-big deal out of this. I... I'm just shy!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yuri ears perked again. She needed to put up a strong front to reassure the mink she wasn't that stricken but then again, when wasn't she?
Yuri: I-I see tikho. I understand then, you are not first shy person I meet and scare in a way doing this. I apologize for it.
Yuri: Our talk was short but I must go. I think this was too much. Hopefully next time we meet will be better.
Sadly for Yuri, she doesn't have the hindsight this narrator does to know that these words are sadly to ever be unmet.

[Continued from Here ]
Mimo was by no means an athletic kid in her childhood, which would rightly explain her lack of speed and stamina when chugging along. She could only manage to run, trip, and stumble for nearly half a mile before making it somewhere solitary. She ended up under the pleasant shade of a lone tree in the fields.
By the time she had arrived, her mind and body were in a daze. Mimo was visibly shaking from the effort of running, not to mention her social exhaustion. She just hoped she was far away enough from anyone to just... Sit. Wallow. Try to recover.
Mimo: ...
She pulled herself onto the ground, hugging her knees and lowering her head to her legs.

It wasn't hard for Levi to catch up. He was able to catch the stranger's scent, being a wolf and all and having a strong sense of smell and hearing. He soon spotted the small animal under a tree, sad.
"..." He hesitated before walking up to her, announcing himself from a bit of a distance as to not scare her. "Uh, hey. Excuse me?"
"Uh, please don't try to run again. Whatever I did, I'm sorry that I made you run away." When he approached her, he held out the cherries. They were still in perfect shape.
"You dropped these. I would hate if you never got these after coming to get them."

Mimo was utterly frozen the moment she heard a familiar voice. She does her darnedest just to wipe away any remaining tears she has. She averts her gaze from the guy as well, she didn't want them seeing her like this.
Mimo: You didn't do anything wrong! I'm sorry, I just...
Mimo: It's really h-hard for me... I'm an u-unredeemable p-person.
When he had approached her over the tree, Mimo watched him from the side. Her face perked up at the sight of the two cherries she had dropped earlier.
Mimo: Y-you didn't have to chase after me just to g-give me these.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
He gave a warm smile.
"Oh, good." He gave her a confused look.
"Unredeemable? I dunno. You just seem... really shy."
"And it's alright to be." He gave a smile.
"Of course I had to. You really wanted these. I would've hate for you to have just left them and not get what you came for."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mimo: ...Yea.
Her response doesn't seem genuine on account of its brevity, but she looks less concerned about the situation if anything. In her mind, she thought "shy" was too loose a term. She liked being with people, but...
...
She didn't feel very comfortable going into it, nor thinking about it. Especially with a 'stranger' nearby.
Mimo carefully extends her hands out to receive the cherries. She gives the guy a quick glance, and for just a moment a small smile, tinted with a hint of melancholy, flashes across her face.
Mimo: Thanks.
She doesn't seem to be stuttering this time.

"You're welcome. I'm Levi, by the way. If you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I like helping people in any way I can."

[I'M SO LATE UEQYHIUGQYDUQ sorry D'X]
It wasn't long before the small tinge of a smile Mimo had on her face faded--
She could only logically assume he had anything but bad intentions, but something in the back of her mind kept insisting, over and over, that it was otherwise. With every thought, every pang of doubt, Mimo's gaze could be observed bouncing back and forth between Levi and something random in the background.
She was visibly discomforted at the thought of the conversation going any further.
Mimo: mhhmmm...
She makes an attempt to affirm his offer, but she couldn't stop avoiding any and all eye contact.
'He gave you a name, give him your--'
'He can do a lot with a name, don't!'
'What can he do with a name?!'
Mimo: Hhh...
Mimo: Mimo.
She replies plainly and awkwardly. Would he even understand what that meant? She delivered it so strangely. Why did she bother saying anything?

[YOU'RE TOTALLY FINE!]
He saw her visible struggle and gave her a worried look before all she said was her name. Oh. She offered her name. He wasn't expecting that. He gave her a smile.
"Well, I should be getting back. Can't leave Mel all by herself. I hope to see you around some more."
"And I really mean it. You have any questions about anything, don't hesitate to ask."
"See ya later." He gave her a wave before turning around and heading back to his stand. He really did try his best to be friendly with the people he's come across. But he knew it was up to them to either accept or decline his friendliness.
