Name: Angeline Nielson
Nicknames: Angela, Angie, Boobs
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Faction: Reaper
Race: Grimm Reaper – Subspecies; Clockwork Reaper
Personality: Angeline Nielson is the daughter of a Clockwork Reaper and a non-subspecied Grimm Reaper, causing Angie to be raised in an environment where human death was explained to her as part of an understanding of her nature as well as what Mommy and Daddy did for a living. Angie’s father, Derek, a Grimm, works bringing wayward spirits to Halloween, and Angie’s mother, Chroniko, runs a charity-shelter for spirits that have no place to go and need some time to adapt before pursuing work (for older spirits) or being sent off to school. As part of this, Angie’s mother would hold small lessons on the nature of Halloween as a sort of small seminar for all of the recently dead (Ghost and Undead alike) to help them adjust with her young daughter sitting tandem to her mother’s lessons. This left Angie growing up with a particular sense of how life and death worked – a slightly broken sense of it.
As part of a ‘bring your daughter to work day’ venture, Derek Nielson brought his seven year old daughter to the reaping of a Human Man on death row. The location was not part of Derek’s previously given schedule for the day, and his unfortunately curious daughter reached out to walk down memory lane with the man – a trip that Angeline will not speak of to this day, and has left her blind from shock.
Further, it has left her with an ingrained cringe response from certain undead individuals, fevered with apologies and the quickest attempt to retreat possible. She tries to convince herself that she’s not racist, but….Undead more or less squick her to the highest degree on a physical level, she’ll talk, but the second physical contact of any type is made all bets are off. Instead, Angie finds more comfort with spirits and their lack of tangible bodies, as well as their familiarity in her youth, feeling as though she has more in common with them than other factions outside of Reapers.
Outside of her strange fascination with the tactile nature of particular bodies, is her slightly hands on nature – Angie needs to touch everything, almost obsessively so. No matter what she’s up to, there is always something in her hands, whether it be her eye so trusty scythe or her necklace she’s running her thumb along the grooves of. Anything new is always treated with a careful run-over of her hands – despite the fact this has caused her to get burned, bitten, stung, cut, and several other ailments – to try and sate her curiosity about the world she no longer sees.
As well, Angeline greatly enjoys music, given how sensitive her hearing has gotten to respond to her lack of vision. However, this doesn’t mean she’s not prone to running into things still, often seen rapping the bottom of her scythe against the floor to check for nearby objects and keep herself upright and with less bruises on her knees than she could have. This means it takes her several more minutes to get anywhere and her timeliness is questionable. Given enough time to adjust to a layout and a routine, however, she will be quicker and more agile to move around.
This feeds into a near OCD she has about her environment and where things are placed inside of it, having very few possessions kept for either nostalgic purposes, or practical reasons. Everything has a very carefully set place, and when this order is disrupted, Angeline can quickly fall into panic.
Too Long, Didn’t Read
Angeline is:
-Blind
-Physically Squicked by the Undead
-Likes Ghosts/Spirits
-Has a thing for how things feel in her hands
-Likes music
-Navigates using her scythe as a cane
-Requires order for comfort
EXTRA TIDBITS:
-Likes how scales feel, causing her to like reptiles a lot.
-Likes spicy food a lot.
-If something is even slightly rotted (food wise) Angeline can taste it and it makes her sick. This relates to her undead squick
-Angeline is still dressed by her mother in terms of her wardrobe. Everything she owns is color coordinated by the hangers and clips she puts on things to ‘feel’ what goes together.
- Angeline’s scythe actually ticks as she walks, making her sound like a clock wherever she goes.
-Angeline has a creepy good sense of how much time has passed/what time it is despite being unable to read clocks.
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? Because if Chroniko didn’t get her daughter out of her shelter, Angeline was going to stay there forever.
