[COORDINATOR] descoteaux, mireille

[attr="class","agar"]Devoid of scars from her body, or so she likes to make people think, Mireille takes great pride in her physical appearance. As far as piercings go, she only has her earlobes pierced. There was a point that she had her cartilage pierced, but her father found out and was furious with her, making her take it out and the hole ended up closing. In terms of tattoos, she does have one. She got it when she was eighteen in order to spite her parents, though a very small tattoo it is. The tattoo is on the middle phalanx part of her inner left ring finger – half of a heart, red with a black outline.

Her hair is purple, oftentimes looking a bit gray depending on the light, with pink undertone. Her eyes are a bright blue. A bit underweight due to dieting because of pressure from her parents, she stands at five feet and four inches tall.

Most of her pride rests in the clothing that she wears - oftentimes fancy dresses or a fashionable mish-mash of stockings and jackets. When she was younger, her parents would often critique her outfits each day and make sure that she was deemed "appropriate" to go out. And her wardrobe is not small in any sense, making it sometimes rare, even for her friends, to see her in the same outfit twice. Due to her CAIS, because she doesn't respond to testosterone, she doesn’t have oily skin, she has little to no body hair, and she has minimal body odor

[attr="class","agar"]To say the least, she is a perfectionist from head to toe. Her parents raised her that way. She was always taught to look her best and do her best. Most people would assume that she was a brat (and sometimes she can be), but under her skin if you’re able to peel back the layers, that’s really not who she is. She may be snippy with people and hate when she doesn’t get her way, but that came with the rich territory that she grew up in. The truth of the matter was that this is often a cover just to make herself feel better.

Growing up, her participation in pageants and dance competitions really alienated her from having friends when she was younger, and caused for her not to have many friends when she was older, even being as sociable as she is. She likes to have people behind her, but she’s such a secretive person, that she can say that she has friends, but they are never close friends. She will go out on nights and weekends and hang out with people, but she’s never revealed a lot of her past to them and more often than not they see her as this half silly, half uptight girl who just likes having things her way. She is very sociable and seemingly hyper-feminine, hiding her secrets behind a tough-as-nails, oftentimes bitchy persona.

Oftentimes she has a very firm way of speaking, which leads to a lot of people just telling her, "come on Miri, just lighten up." She often has trouble dealing with the truth. She is extremely insecure about the fact that she is intersex. She's generally an easy person to talk to when she's in the mood, but she is not one to cough up to peer pressure if it isn't something that she doesn't already want to do (and even then, she might make a fuss because she doesn't want to not be in control of a situation).

[attr="class","agar"]It’s a girl! Congratulations balloons at a baby shower before the birth of the dancer. She was born of a couple at the height of society, and was born and raised in Richitev City. Her mother is a CEO of a large company that was inherited by her father after he passed away because she had no brothers to pass it on to, and her father stayed at home and programmed and built custom electronics. They soon came to realize that their little girl they could no longer see as their little girl. The balloons were long let out of air and the hurrah had stopped. Though Mireille had always seen herself as female, it was hard for her parents to see it as well. When a complication arose when she was a toddler, she was taken into the hospital and treated, as well as diagnosed with Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS). If one were to use the argument that "males have XY chromosomes and females have XX" then a large sticker reading "male" would be placed on her chest, though externally she has the qualities of being stereotypically female.

When her father found out about her condition, he immediately signed her up for dance classes and beauty pageants in order to see her as "more female than other females" as more of a way to prove to himself that he really had a daughter, and even signed her up for Pokemon contests from a young age with his own Pokemon. Mireille never made the connection that her father began to sign her up for these pageants at the same time that she was discovered to be intersex. While beauty pageants never really stayed her thing, she did enjoy the dance classes and Pokemon contests, and progressed with them throughout her life until today. She didn't have many close friends, and life seemed like more of a competition of who could have the most friends (real or fake), who could be the most popular, and who could... win.

Her secret - being intersex and needing to take estrogen pills, are always in the back of her mind. Being different, it was taught that it was wrong. Her parents always liked things to be more conventional, not even wanting to accept those who aren't straight, though thankfully Miri had formed her own opinions and accepts others (being pansexual herself, though she would never tell her parents that, and she leans more towards men in the first place).

Despite being twenty-three now, her parents pay for her apartment in Richitev (though thankfully do not drop by for visits unexpectedly) and still try to have some control over her life. Her parents had always been large donators to the Assimilation Project, which was partially how she started to think that it was a good thing as well. She is mainly a Pokemon coordinator, though doesn't stay too far from Richitev unless it's to drop in somewhere for a vacation or a contest, before returning back to her apartment. She also has taken up a small job in the Assimilation Project as a secretary, helping keep track of the files and paperwork of assimilated tribe members.

[attr="class","agar"]Mireille is completely an advocate for the assimilation project. She doesn't see anything wrong with what's going on on Evter Island, though she herself would never step on the island unless it was for a vacation reason, and is all for the creation of a vacation spot on the island. Her parents are significant donors of the project, and Mireille herself works as a secretary for the time being, though may move up depending on her pursuit of her coordinator life and her parents wishes, considering she originally wanted to just go out on her own and participate in contests, but her parents wanted her to get involved with the project.
