Personality: Mercedes is a sweet and caring person, as well as down to Earth. She can also be a social butterfly in most situations, but she also does not mind the solitude that her ranch in Texas offered. Mercedes never really minded to meet others, as it was often required with her old job. Mercedes is also an optimist about most things, seeing the good in almost everything and everyone. She likes to have a good time, which for her would include things that have to do with the outdoors. Few things get under Mercedes’ skin as she has a go with the flow personality. Probably most importantly Mercedes tries to stay as calm as she can, because of her experience working with animals, has taught her to fight panic.

History: Mercedes Eleanor Brookholm was born on November 8, 1986 in a small Texas town. She was the third and final child for Donna and John Brookholm, with one older brother and an older sister. Mercedes had a fairly simple and happy childhood. She grew up on the ranch that her parents had on the outskirts of San Angelo. There Mercedes learned a healthy respect for animals as she was raised around them. The bonding time that Mercedes would have with her brother or father, would always be to go and ride the horses for a couple of hours. Which was fine by her as she loved the outdoors and spending the time with her family. Mercedes also spent many nights sleeping in the backyard in the hammock that her brother, Jesse had gotten for her. Once Mercedes reached middle school and high school, she attended school at Central High. It took her a year but Mercedes was able to find her place in high school among FFA, and the softball team. From there Mercedes shined in silence, content with her small circle friends, and where her life was going to be headed. After graduating from Central High, Mercedes decided to take a year of basics at Howard junior college.
Once she finished her first year of college Mercedes moved out of her parents home and to the dorms of Angelo State University, where she majored as a pre-veterinarian. After three years of nearly year round classes Mercedes graduated, and was able to find an internship with a veterinarian at a local clinic. It was not before long that Mercedes found herself to be extremely burnt out from her already old life, and she knew that a break was needed. On a joking dare, Mercedes closed her eyes and pointed to a place on a map of the United States. In possibly her most impulsive move ever, Mercedes found herself packing up her belongings and moving away from Texas, and to California.
Roleplay Sample: [quote*]Lucy relaxed once again when Kaleb flashed a smile towards her. She must have been easier to read then she had meant to be, because Kaleb followed his smile up with an explanation that his thoughts weren’t bad. Kaleb mentioned that he had been thinking a lot with his excessive free time he also mentioned that he had changed a lot. Lucy thought about the pre-Forks Lucy and how much if at all whether or not she had changed. The only change Lucy could really see in herself was her confidence level; she could never imagine the Seattle Lucy going to the beach to meet a guy. Nor could Lucy imagine the older version of herself going out to the same guy’s farm to spend almost a whole day with him. With a reflective grin Lucy nodded at Kaleb, “I think I can kinda understand.” Kaleb was quiet for a few more moments before his short laugh broke the silence. Lucy listened to Kaleb as he talked about a kid from Texas and by the time he reached the end and asked if she wanted to guess who the kid could be Lucy knew it had been Kaleb.
It made her a little sad that Kaleb’s childhood sounded a little lonely but for the most part he seemed happy and Lucy figured that could be the silver lining. Pretending to think for a moment Lucy put her free hand on the side of her face and drummed her fingers on the side of her face. “Well let’s see your Great Uncle Bobo?” Offered Lucy as she pulled Kaleb towards the beach, “Your second cousin Marvin?” Lucy was purposefully being ridicules now to get a grin on Kaleb’s face. “Your great-great Uncle Willie twice removed on your long lost brother’s-cousin’s, on your mom’s side of the family?” She finally couldn’t keep it in and felt a laugh escape, and she looked up at Kaleb with a friendly grin, “Well for whatever its worth Kaleb, I like what you say is the new you.” ‘Oh what the hell Lucy worst comes to worst, come up with a patented Lucy escape plan.’ After a second of building herself up Lucy spoke again as they reached the sand, “And I probably would have liked the pre-Washington Kaleb just as much.”[/quote*]
