Character Information
Name: Mina Murray Canon:Dracula: Untold Age: late 20’s, 26-27 Gender: Female Canon Point: at the end of the movie. Background Link:Wilhelmina "Mina" Harker (née Murray)
Inventory: Just the clothes on her back, as well as a purse containing the following: hairbrush, makeup, cash and cards, a cell phone and birth control pills.
Personality: Mina Murray is spiritually strong, pure of heart, and a resourceful and beautiful young woman. She's sweet-tempered, both child-like and extremely maternal; she is in many ways the heroine of the Dracula story, embodying purity, innocence, and (Christian) faith - virtues she maintains despite any corruption she faces in various forms of Dracula fiction. She's both incredibly feminine and highly intelligent, described as a beauty and as having a "man's brain," by Van Helsing.
Mina is an educated woman. She's a schoolteacher, which means she earns her own income before her marriage and is financially independent. She is well-read, as evident by being a fan of thirteenth-century Persian poetry. In other forms of Dracula fiction, Mina is financially and intellectually independent, but not sexually independent, relying on the men around her for their bravery – but in her modern incarnation, that submissiveness is replaced by a flirtatious wit, as evident by her first meeting with Vlad at the evening outdoor bazaar.
She is staunchly loyal and steadfast to those whom she cares for, and is unwavering in her devotion to the man she loves. That loyalty is an integral part of what makes her who she is, a beacon that draws others to her; indeed, she’s referred to as "the Light of all Lights". Particularly as she is an orphan – her parents having died in an accident when she was young – she turns close friends and loved ones into her makeshift family, alternately considering herself a wifely and motherly figure to them, and does whatever is within her power to keep everyone alive and together.
Flavor Abilities: Mina harbors no special abilities – but, as she’s strongly hinted to be the reincarnation of Vlad Dracula’s former wife Mirena, she may at some time have access to memories of the deceased fifteenth-century Wallachian princess.
Suitability: Mina will be an interesting character to explore within Snowblind’s setting; she’s a maternal and caring sort of person, so she will make every effort to help those less fortunate or in need that she encounters. That generosity may get taken advantage of on occasion, but the fun will be playing out the repercussions of that. She’s intelligent enough though to be able to parse puzzle pieces together, and answer questions about this place.

[ Mina has fortunately made it inside a shelter before lockdown, safe inside and out of the snowy storm in an abandoned suburban house before the doors lock - but once inside she can't help but notice dark, shadowy figures surrounding the residence, looming near the windows menacingly. Are they people? She can't quite tell in the gloom outside, so she keeps the blinds and curtains shut and huddles as far away from the windows as she can.
Her voice over the network video feed is tense with worry and whisper-soft, in case the things people outside can hear her. ]
Hello. Is anyone on? Or up, at this hour...I'm Mina, for those of you whom I haven't spoken to. There's...some strangers outside the house I've taken refuge in, and I want to know if anyone has experienced something similar.
The thing is, I'm not even sure they're human. They're just...shapes. Shadowy forms, and shapes. Has anyone ever seen this here, before?
[ She pauses and shivers, wrapping her arms about her frame tightly before her eyes slide back to the web camera. ] It wouldn't be so bad if they were just outside, being silent. But I can hear the walls and doors creaking slightly, too, as if [ her voice drops to a whisper, once more ] ...they're trying to get in.
