Name: Mercedes Emiliana de Zorro
Age: 49. Looks around 23.
Gender: Female
Group: Nightmare with decidedly Pro-Nightmare leanings that she adamantly tries to curb in light of her job.
Occupation: Head of the League of Shadows, primarily in an administrative capacity and as a castle liaison.
Appearance: Mercedes is tall, around 5’7”, with the build of an athlete. Her figure seems generous enough, but leaves the impression that years of physical training may have prevented further development in desired areas. The overall effect of her long toned limbs and a healthy complexion is far from unpleasant.
Mercedes has thick brown hair kept long and braided back. Her skin is dusty, but paler than her sisters. Her eyes are perhaps her most alarming feature. They are large, bright yellow muddled with brown and green with a long thin black slit running down the center. Mercedes is prone to dry and chapped skin, something she combats with copious amounts of moisturizer when she has time to apply it.
Mercedes picked up her parents fashion sense, but not their patience for it. Once she finds a style she likes, she sticks with it for a long period of time. She prefers loose fitting shirts offset by skin-hugging pants and boots. Stylish, but practical boots. Something she can actually run in. Her colors of choice are usually blue and gold.
Personality: Mercedes is a true-to-form workaholic. She takes her job expectations seriously, to the point where she will work straight shifts to solve a problem. She is very much a creature of form and habit, keeping to a similar schedule every day. Mercedes prides herself on her reliability and work ethic. She views a failure in the workplace as a personal favor.
Due to the expansive amount of time spent at work, Mercedes has few personal friends. She cares for her younger sister with the same unrelenting devotion she exhibits in the workplace. Her emotional support is almost completely grounded in family and family friends. Mercedes views herself as ‘champion’ of her little sister in her parent’s absence, much to her sister’s mortification.
Powers: Mercedes is a trained fencer and dabbles in some hand to hand. She’s fairly quick which helps to compensate for her disadvantage in physical strength. She’s a talent for numbers--not that that’s a power, per se—and has a good head for making decisions. She’s fairly versed in weaponry and combat not because she has a natural flair for either but because that was what the job required of her.
Other Information: Mercedes’ parents live outside of Chimera. Probably romanticizing away their Golden Years. Mercedes keeps in touch with them, giving them updates on her sister and the city’s going-ones. Both are quite independently wealthy and keep her and her sister comfortably situated in a spacious loft in urban Chimera. It was through her mother’s contact that Mercedes first joined the League of Shadows. Mercedes relationship with her parents is reasonably good. After all, family is everything.
