[cont] ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀personality [cont] ; she never really realizes that her mind was made up in the first place, or that things were already planned, because normally she pushed social things like weekend plans aside to make room for surreal ideas and inventions. that being said, she's a listener rather than a speaker. she enjoys sitting back and listening intently to a conversation and is more than happy to play devil’s advocate to keep a conversation interesting and moving along. she has a lot of genius and potential. she's good at coming up with magnificent ideas and turning them into even more magnificent things. she's very intelligent and tinker-y, knowing how to use any resources around her to solve problems. tricky, multilayered problems are the ones she likes to solve best. she could spend all day in her room working out some random problem that scientists hadn't been able to figure out for eons and come up with quite creative solutions to issues in real life, too. though it may seem odd, bow happens to be confused by one specific thing: humans. their nature, the illogical, irrational ways that emotion and feeling can influence one's behavior, etc. even her own. though she tends to think very logically and rationally, these things still greatly confuse her, especially when it happens to her [hence why love is something that is so confusing and out-of-mind for her ]. though this doesn't mean she's emotionless or something. she wants to offer support, emotionally and mentally and such, but just.. doesn't know how to. and because of her inability to find the most efficient and best ways to offer support, she simply doesn't. a lot of the time she shows affection through things many people don't get. things that don't directly show her affection but you can clearly see she's trying hard. she's quite the overthinker, too. she has a hard time with it, overthinking even small decisions and such. this all tends to leave her feeling exhausted, useless, ineffective, and stuck. her mind is constantly working and she can get very overwhelmed by this, which, again, leaves her feeling exhausted. this also ties into how she tends to feel overstimulated easily. good news, though, she doesn't usually stay stuck in a hole for long. she has a lot of good strengths and such that she can use to pull herself out of the holes and ruts she falls into. or she just drowns herself in work- both seem to work well. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀strengths + weaknesses ; ∉ strengths ; minerva, as can likely be seen, is very analytical. she can come up with creative, original ideas very easily as well as being quite curious and able to ask questions, always ready to learn more about everything. she's open-minded and honest, caring a lot about the truth but is also able to shift her perspective if needed. ∉ weaknesses ; as mentioned before, bow is definitely an overthinker. with her always-active mind, it's easy for her to fall prey to analysis paralysis. she also tends to be pretty disconnected to the world around her, much preferring her thoughts to people, and zones out very easily. she can also be seen as insensitive since she finds the truth and rationality a key to this world, hence why she tends to underestimate the importance of "irrational" values, like emotion, compassion, etiquette, tradition, etc, so she can come off as unkind and such even if her intentions are anything but. she also is constantly imagining how things could be far better than they already are, leaving her often feeling dissatisfied with life. she always wants new problems to solve, new ways to make life interesting. this mindset tends to be overwhelming, too, as she always is trying to invent new things and have new thoughts rather than take care of her own personal needs and responsibilites. when she's trying to explain things, she's often impatient with the other person. if their conversation partner seems insufficiently interested in her eyes, she may just dismiss the topic or mumble a, "never mind". she's very bad at conveying her emotions, too, which is why she doesn't like getting into overly emotional relationships and keeps everything very overly rational. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀extra info ; ∉ ; if you couldn't tell already she's likely an intp ∉ ; she's canonically an assassin, part of a group called the 'arsenal'. her weapon of choice is a bow and arrow, as she enjoys the way it needs to be manipulated to use and such. ∉ ; she's a researcher for the group, mainly the one making all the tech and doing all the underground kind of stuff. though she's very physically strong and can fight if and when needed ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀∉ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀" the arsenal " shuriken "shuri" vargas ; https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/967683937/ salem "spear" winks ; https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/971398364/ marion "arrow" feng ; https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/971408398/ minerva "bow" royce ; [ you are here ] ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀∉
