Playby: Nina Dobrev
Name: Mena Rose Barrons
Age: 24
Sex: Female
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Species: Human
Physical Description: Mena Rose is a 5’5” firecracker. Her body is lithe, limber, and toned as that of graceful ballerina. Her sun kissed olive skin is accentuated by the cascading waterfall of mahogany hair that billows in soft waves around her. Her Olive face houses her deep brown eyes that are slightly slanted and possess a spark of life not seen in others. Her small rounded nose is softened by her high powder pink cheekbones. She has thick brown eyebrows that are neatly kept. The only odd thing about her are her birthmarks; a brown circle on the small of her back that has darker brown spots inside of it and a light brown one on her left elbow that looks similar to what the state of New York once looked like.
Attitude: Mena is a feisty little fireball. Her mother did her best to instill in her how to be lady, and to some degree she held on to her mother’s teachings…otherwise she would not have lasted under Vampire rule. However, with that being said Mena is every bit as fiery as the desert she was raised in and can be as prickly as the thorns of a rose for which she is partly named. She is not afraid to speak her mind though she possesses the tact in which to know when to and when not to do so. She can be very opinionated and possesses a nearly unbreakable will.
Abilities: Mena is a human so she possesses no abilities other than that which a normal human would possess. She is slightly more limber and flexible than most humans. She also learned to become very talented with a needle and thread since she had always dreamed of moving to haven to escape the vampire rule. She is also very talented with plants with regards to making health salves and minor remedies. Mena can sometimes be too forthcoming with what she thinks and as a result it gets her trouble at times. She also has narcolepsy (though she doesn’t know the medical term for it) She goes though long bouts of tiredness and sleep. The longest she slept was 30 hours at one time. Lastly she has a ridiculous fear of cockroaches. Just the sight of one will send her into a panic.
History:
Mena was born and raised in raised in New Vegas to a long line of blood donors. Her family always prided themselves on being very hearty and able to provide many a vampire fresh blood from the source. The thought of fangs sickened her to an extreme. The most she would do was her monthly blood tax. Mena had always been the black sheep of the family when it came to Vampires. Where her family loved them she hated them. What made them so special to think they should rule over humans?
For a long time she dreamed of leaving New Vegas and escaping to Haven to live with and be a part of a vampire free community. When her mother became aware of this little fact she took steps to prevent Mena from leaving and tarnishing their family’s good name with the vampire. On more than one occasion Mena had unsuccessfully attempted to persuade her mom into just leaving New Vegas. When Mena had had enough she decided to take action to make her mom see reason.
Her mom had not too long entered into a relationship with one of the bastards who oppressed them. If he was out of the way then her mom would be more inclined to see the light. One morning after the vampire entered the death sleep in their home Mena walked into her mom’s room and staked him. She woke her mom to convince her yet again to come with her to Haven. Her mom reacted by punching Mena’s lights out and called the VSF on her. The VSF took her into custody to the council where it was decided that she would serve as a blood slave to Councilwoman Tulani’s Casino until she deemed fit to release her. Mena now spends the days loathing life and avoiding her mother when she comes into the Casino. Apparently the woman has disowned her as a daughter and constantly looks for ways to make her life as miserable as she possibly can.

Rp Sample:
Mena shifted restlessly in the small bed provided for her at the Casino. Every evening was preceded by the same dream; never waning and always repetitious. The dream was always so realistic. It was as if she lived through the ordeal herself…
Of course she did. Every afternoon prior to the beginning of yet another day of punishment as a blood slave she relived the events that brought her to her current set of circumstances. She had been tired of feeling subjugated under the ruling thumb of the vampires. Her mom, ever the dutiful drone, went to work every night as a blood donor. It paid very well and they were allowed to live in some form of ease but she hated seeing her mom with fang marks on her. She hated it fervently. She dreamed day in and day out of escaping the city to live in Haven where humans were free of vampires. She had begged her mom on so many occasions to just leave New Vegas and begin anew. Mena’s mom was rather used to her cushioned lifestyle, especially after catching the eye of a vampire, and wanted nothing to do with hard labor.
She would never listen though so Mena thought she would take matters into her own hands. Her mom had been seeing a vampire male for some time and he would stay over most days since having her home fitted for a vampire’s death sleep. She would make her mom see reason. So one morning right after he went into death sleep Mena entered her mom’s room and staked the vampire, only to become completely shocked at the fact that he did not die. She was even more shocked at the fact that her mom called the VSF on her.
So much for blood being thicker than the undead…
The VSF hauled her off to the council for sentencing. Coucilwoman Tulani, having taking a liking to the fact that she could pass for Arab royalty, decided to make her a blood slave to Arabian nights. She would work there as a blood donor. Mena could remember it so clearly. Her mother had been there to watch her sentencing, sneering at her after it was decided she would not be killed. “How could she do this to me?” she thought mentally. “I only wanted to help her escape the entrapment she was in.” She could remember the solitary tear that escaped her eye as she turned away from her mother to begin her punishment.
Mena’s eyes opened the instant he gaze was torn off of her mother’s sneering glare.
“Fuck my life…”
