I am seeking someone to play the female fae-blooded mortal girl that my fae character Ahren/Aaron sees as his fated mate. As stated in his character profile, "His Mouse", is a college-age mortal who outwardly seems weak and odd. She grew up int he house of a woman who claims to be her Aunt, but made it well known that the girl was hated for her awkwardness and bushel of "faults". Among said faults being her seemingly too plain appearance of dull mousy brown hair and chocolate eyes.
This plot may seem at first alot like Edward and Bella from Twilight, but it's a story idea that's far older, having come from a dream I once had.
Through-out the later years of grade school, the "Mouse" was taunted by this tough jock whom the rest of the girls drooled over and the boys tried to imitate for his charismatic ability to draw people to him like moths to a flame. Yet, "Mouse" saw him as simply the gorgeous face of a lion that enjoyed the game of making her life a living hell through taunts, jokes, and games. Many others followed his lead, picking on her when he wasn't around to let her know her place was at the bottom of the totem pole, the pack omega. She hated him for it.
Then one day in high school, some weird looking thug guys broke into her Aunt's house while her Aunt's suitor, soon to be fiance, was visiting. The suitor was killed, the aunt was beat to within an inch of death, and forever after remained a permanent resident of the local asylum. The Mouse, was attacked in what was planned to be a rape and kidnapping. Yet something invisible saved her that night. A guardian she had always felt watching, keeping her safe, coaxing her aunt off when her aunt got too rough, letting her out when her aunt pinned her up in her room or a closet. That night her invisible guardian saved her. She would never forget the faces of the "men" she saw that night, nor what happened to those who'd touched her. A few got away, and for that she would insist on getting as far away from that cursed town as possible via social services.
Mouse spent a week in the hospital, half of it, in a coma. She had several broken ribs, a broken left arm, mangled left hand, and a fractured right leg. Yet, the one thing she remembers most about that stay in the hospital was how strangely her nemesis acted. She could have sworn she'd heard him, from within her coma, ranting about her attackers and how he wanted them all dead. Dead in garishly creative ways. Then was the memory of waking to find a large stuffed mouse under her arm. And him sitting there watching. He engaged her in a conversation that had her calling the nurse to kick him out, of course. Still, it was eerie for that lion to be acting as though he was actually "worried" for her. She didn't stick around long enough to find out what his deal was. The girl used the witness protection program and social services to find her a home in another town, hoping to leave the Lion and everything that town had come to mean for her behind. Forgotten.
Now she's a college student, trying to earn a decent education and find a career for herself. She thinks that the past is behind her. Yet, something inside her has her wondering on dark nights, who is the invisible guardian that watches her? Why are they there? What are they? And why does it seem like the entire world changed after that horrid night when she was attacked. She notices things in people that she didn't before. Some people remind her of those guys, not always in looks, but something about them seems similar. She finds herself trying to stay away from those people, knowing there's something dangerous about people that seem like one thing only to hide something sinister beneath. Sometimes she finds herself thinking of Aaron the Lion that way, but she can never bear to allow those thoughts to bare answers. She's scared to know the truth. Sometimes she thinks she would have been much happier to have been left unaware of woo-woo stuff. Other times, those strange people cause her to shiver and creep away, thankful to have that intuitive warning to tell her to stay away.
The idea of the plot is to put two completely opposite characters together as a fated couple. A rich lion who can charm almost anyone into doing whatever he wants, and a poor mouse who can see through the charm to the game he plays like a pied piper. A mouse who seems to be a catalyst for chaos wherever she goes no matter how "decent" she tries to be. Even in the new town and college, things happen.. go incredibly wrong around her. People try to play "nice" and chitchat before leaving, or they just leave as if something about her frightens them.
If Ahren finds her, he will try again to court her, but using different tactics, though unable to resist tossing out a comment or two, to ignite the temper he loves so much about the frail mortal female. Also should he find her and at least arose a curiosity in her if not a friendship, he'll take her to a faery festival where he plans to take her to the Faery World, where she'll become an immortal faery. His hope is for her to change over as she is, her strengths being accented along with whatever surprises come. Like she might actually be a faery child that was hidden in the mortal realm so long she became mortal.. by nobles who hoped to see her one day bring change to the corrupted Autumn Court. If we take this route, then her hidden guardian would be a dragon fae who is normally invisible and the size of a song bird. Her birth name would be Mosalia, meaning Blessed Princess.
However, I'm willing to chuck the princess backstory and let the other player mold her as much as they want as long as we can get that opposites attract in a hate/love relationship.
