Megan Callahan
Not having any real nicknames, she is too well respected and liked around the office for anyone to do something she doesn’t like. It doesn’t hurt that she is in charge of human resources and would be the person who would write them up if they went too far.
Physical Description
Like most fae, she is tall, but not nearly as tall as her fellow fae employee, Cecile. Her skin is a light blue hue, making her stand out from other staff members, and her almost glass like transparent blue wings run her entire body, making it quite obvious she is of the pixie variety. She does try to keep them out of the way, but occasionally will knock things over with them, apologizing profusely. She also has picked up a little magic to try and help catch things she knocks over to stop them from breaking. Her ears are long, reminiscent of a high elf, and her body is slender to help her if she wishes to use her wings.
In a work place setting, she put her long red hair up in to an elaborate series of buns with the loose bits flowing around her face, but when off work she lets it hang loose. She keeps with the office style of red lips and nails, and tends to favour purple eye shadows. She has a tattoo with a strange symbol on the centre top portion of her right breast. She tends to leave her cleavage open so it is usually visible.
Physical Quirks
Being a pixie, she already fit the flighty attitude, but she takes it to extremes, being almost too hyper. She also likes to put her hand on people’s shoulders reassuringly, and is known as the office hug giver, as she ensures everyone gets one at least once a day.
Clothing Style
In the office setting, she usually goes with a short sleeved blazer and short skirt, with some combination of red and black as the color scheme. She will always have her cleavage displayed, as she loves to show off her tattoo, even though she never tells anyone what it means. She likes to also have jewelry that dangles and makes noise, so she has a collection of bracelets she likes to wear. She prefers black pumps. When she’s not working, she can usually be found in what is referred to as a keyhole sweater, one with an open cleavage hole.
Mental Characteristics
Personal History
Having been born in the light fae realm, her birth happened at the same time a dark fae priestess was visiting, and was considered a bad omen. Her mother, who didn’t want to bring ill fortune on the family, tried to kill her when she was still a baby. Her father saved her, and took her and her two siblings, older brothers, to Canada, in the human world. He then re-married and she has a younger half-sister. The new marriage and the lack of fae politics helped her father do better in his life, and the comfortable life she had before became borderline wealthy. She never seemed to want for anything, but wasn’t really someone who wanted more. Despite being almost the youngest, she always ended up being a natural leader in the family, and her two brothers always deferred to what she wanted, which usually ended up benefiting everyone.
One time during a rather violent protest, she ran into a tall woman being chased by a group of violent protesting women. She helped this woman, Lucinda, get away and mended her wounds. She was offered a job at the law firm for her help and compassion. She eagerly accepted, knowing this would allow her to live comfortably and send money to her family, and moved to New York.
Education
While she seemed to be a natural leader, she was always happy just being helpful and wanting to solve disputes between people, so she took an HR course at a local community college, wanting to keep her job as close to her own personal beliefs as possible.
Employment
Working as a temp doing HR for companies for many years, she was always happy to move around and help new groups of people. When she was offered full time employment at the law office 10 years ago, she eagerly accepted, just for the extra money and stability.
Morality & Philosophy
Being someone who wants to help, and make sure everyone gets along, she excels at her job. She also feels that sometimes people make mistakes, and should be given a chance to improve and learn from them. She also is very supportive of people and wants everyone to feel needed and cared for in life. She believes that joy and happiness are something everyone deserves to feel, and won’t let a person down in the dumps stay that way for long.
Personality
Motivation
She believes that everyone deserves to be happy and feel loved and cared for, and will encourage other people to spread as much joy and compassion as they can. And she is more then happy to start spreading it herself, preferring a hug over a handshake to start people’s day. She knows many people are stuck in positions that make things hard emotionally, and so she does whatever she can to lift everyone’s spirits.
Likes & Dislikes
She loves cooking and baking, especially when it’s for others, and rather than bringing in donuts, which would earn you the ire of Kaytlin, who would take away, she loves to bring in fresh muffins or other not too sweet treats. She has a dislike for people who are mean for no reason, and always tries to get them to stop.
Virtues
Trying to bring out happiness and joy, she always seems to be smiling and in a good mood. She always is very calm and even tempered, and no one has ever seen her lose her temper. She is always willing to listen and help people through rough times, and her open door policy extends to even people who just need someone to talk about non work related things they want to get off their chest.
Vices
Like most fae, she has a very free attitude, and doesn’t really seem to form many long term relationships, preferring to be free of attachment. The only exception to this is Lucinda, whom she seems to be almost motherly to at some times, but treats her like she is her mother at other times. She also is very evasive when people ask her about her past, preferring to focus on helping others, not herself.
Quirks
Besides her constant hugging, shoulder touching and cooking, she is well known for being the office songstress. More than once her voice has rung through the halls as she just felt the need to start singing. She’s actually quite good, so no one seems to mind, although when there are important negotiations going on, they are sure to close the door to the meeting room, just in case.
Values
For her, kindness, charity and compassion are the things she values most, and those who exhibit them will earn the most respect from her. She knows that most everyone is capable of them, so she tries to encourage them in others, by exhibiting them herself constantly.
Sexual Style
As with other fae, she doesn’t feel any particular drive to settle down, so is quite the social, and sexual, butterfly, if you will excuse the pun. She is also quite open about her attraction to people, although will keep it out of the workplace, just to keep it professional and not undermine her own job by setting a bad example. She is open to pretty much anything, and with anyone, male or female, no matter the species. She has many friends with benefits she keeps, but makes sure they are people who know that she isn’t going to be in a relationship beyond that.
Although she does have a fondness for men. She also loves toy play and has herself quite a collection at home.
Social
Contacts & Relations
She keeps in contact with her family, despite her having moved away, and will send them all money to help make sure they are able to keep living a good life. While she does like her step mother, she can’t help but worry about her considering her mother’s vindictive attitude. She does watch out for her little sister, being very protective of her and her father. She also has a strange relationship with Lucinda, where they also seem to take turns acting as the mother to each other.
Social Aptitude
A literal social butterfly, she can always found moving from conversation to conversation, making sure to give everyone attention and interaction. She also is quite forgiving with people who make mistakes, and has a habit of apologizing for little things. Most people jokingly say she is the office Canadian.
Religious Views
Not a subject she ever discusses at work, and even those she gets to be friends with outside of work know what her views on this are. She is an atheist, but she feels that politics and religion are things best never discussed with others, as they tend to divide more than anything else.
Mannerisms
A supportive and charming lady, she is always ready to give a hug, or lend you a hand when she can. A smile on her face, and a song usually not far from her lips, it’s hard not to feel upbeat around her. Even her sense of humour is gleeful, relying on positive energy. Despite that, she can’t help but love the pure fun of Warner Brothers cartoons, and has broken out singing What’s Opera Doc, or even songs from Animaniacs.
Hobbies & Pets
Besides cooking and singing, she also loves to write in calligraphy, and often will use it in official HR communications, rather than printing it up on a computer. She especially loves to use this when it is to a single person, showing she is putting time and care into each person. She has a small aquarium with some generic fresh water fish, but since she can be a bit absent minded with them, she makes sure they have an auto feeder, and put in some bottom feeders to help keep it all clean.
Speech Style
Not really having an accent, what stands out most about the way she speaks is that she talks a bit faster than most people are comfortable with, which leads her to apologizing a lot for it, when she isn’t apologizing for knocking things over with her wings. Her voice is a little lower cadence than most women in the office and has been described as sultry by most people.
Political Affiliation & Activism
She refuses to ever discuss her politics with anyone, in or out of the office, as she feels it will only end friendships and cause division. Not only that, she avoids the fae politics even more, knowing that they almost ended her life. While she believes in socially liberal policies, she is actually more conservative on her economic policies, and tends to vote that way, feeling society will change when it’s ready, and forcing it will only make people resist harder. She doesn’t really do much activism, but can be seen giving the homeless food and hugs. She even has one homeless man she is working with to get a job gardening at her apartment complex. As she puts it, trying to fix everything at once is too much, just start with one person, then that person can help someone else, and soon, we’re all better off.
