Physical Appearance
Meyumi is a fairly tall girl with a solid swimmer-like build to her body. This is especially apparent in her shoulders and legs, all toned with muscle lean enough that she does not seem bulky. The tone of her skin easily gives away her Caucasian ethnicity, though a light tan keeps her from appearing to be pale. Her chestnut hair is full and falls almost to the small of her back, while her bangs are long enough to fall over her eyes. Meyumi’s face is roundish in shape with large blue eyes, high, rounded cheekbones, a slightly upturned nose and full lips.
Meyumi’s wardrobe tends towards fitted women’s shirts, cut-off shirts, assorted blouses, jeans, slacks and the odd skirt. Her footwear mainly consists of hiking boots, sneakers, or nothing at all.
Personality
Meyumi believes strongly in the concept of Carpe Diem, and as such tries to enjoy the positives in her life, rather than be upset about the negatives. She is quick to a laugh or a smile and will, in the event that there is nothing to laugh about, do or say something to draw smiles from the people around her. She does not get angry easily, but when she does, she shows it freely and loudly. She is unflinchingly loyal to thoese she cares about, but can also be quite naïve when it comes to any type of relationship. She sees the beauty in everything around her and tries her hardest to point it out to the ones she loves, especially if he or she is feeling down.
She makes use of an if you ask, I'll tell policy about herself and her past, though she will freely offer details of her life once she trusts someone sufficiently. She is honest, almost to the point of being painfully blunt, though she does try to think before she speaks in order to avoid inadvertantly inflicting hurt on anybody.
Skills and Hobbies
Meyumi is a talented swimmer, and has won numerous meets in different styles of swimming throughout her childhood. Her seemingly natural ability to move fluidly in any body of water has also resulted in her being likened to a fish on more than one occasion. She also has a lovely singing voice, but does not show it very often, as she is fairly shy about singing solo. An ear for language aids her in most dealings with people whose native tongue she cannot understand, though she does seem to have a weak spot when it comes to deciphering Americanisms.
An often used time-killer of hers is playing various console games; the Tekken series especially is one of her all-time favorites.
Relations
Meyumi is engaged to Farah, whom she resides with above the New Moon Eatery.
Background
Meyumi is the second and youngest child of blue-collar factory worker Niall O’Brennan and his wife Annie O’Brennan (previously Ryan), a paediatric nurse. Her only sibling is her brother Declan, who is 5 years her senior. She lived the first few years of her life in a lower middle-class area of Dublin, but was, along with her brother, relocated to an orphanage run by the Irish Catholic Church after losing her mother in a traffic accident in 1986 and her father to a freak factory accident in 1989. From then on, she was raised an Irish Catholic, though she never really connected with that religion. In the fall of 1995, Meyumi also lost her brother, who died while shielding her from an explosion.
Shortly after turning 15, Meyumi decided that she had had enough of obligatory morning mass and ran away from the orphanage. She spent two years roaming her home country, and then set out for broader vistas. Four years of traveling have afforded her many experiences, both of the good and bad kind. While she has yet to visit the American continent, not many parts of Europe or Asia have escaped her.
Some of the countries she visited would be (in no particular order):
- Denmark
- Spain
- Greece
- Czech Republic
- Sweden
- Switzerland
- Russia
- China
In February of 2006, Meyumi was originally aiming to make the US state of California her next stop once she departed from Japan. However, she was told about Yuriba, and decided to make a brief stop there before moving on. Once there, she fell for the small island and decided to stay for a while. Her decision was only reaffirmed after she encountered Farah Al-Khaid, and she soon found herself falling helplessly for the younger woman.
During the early summer months, Meyumi was abruptly called back to Ireland to deal with legal matters, and she was forced to leave without having a chance to tell her lover why. She eventually returned, and was greatly relieved to find that their relationship had weathered the sudden storm and made it out intact. Shortly after her return to Yuriba, Farah surprised Meyumi by proposing, and while the two have yet to set a date, they have agreed on a small ceremony.
Meyumi and Farah have not been seen around Yuriba for a while, and have presumably departed the island to travel the world together.
