Name: Irene Meeks
Age:16
Gender F
Role: Artist- Painter
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: Irene, who was advised by her parents her name was derived from the world of Sherlock Holmes, has tried to understand the world the same way her namesake has. By observing, understanding, and reacting to it. The results in her often not speaking much, but listening the world around her.
She realized her observations gave her a great insight into art, often painting things she's not exactly sure how to say. Often commenting on subjects she's experienced, witnessed, or even things she wants to understand for herself. Losing her mother at a young age resulted in her often becoming absorbed in other worlds, books, art, and lately graffiti. Choosing to take her messages to people who can see the beauty in her art, even if they choose not to go to a gallery.
Often has gotten herself into trouble with the adults who believe art should be one thing, and she needs to have a specific message. Irene's message was simple, she liked painting beautiful things...and if it gave people hope with just that, she was fine.
History: Irene grew up the child of a Librarian and a Comic book artist. So she was exposed to countless forms of literature, and art, so naturally when she started to do her own art. Her parents were only ecstatic to encourage it. She loved the idea of art creating these fantastic worlds where anything is possible. Her positive outlook was always something her peers found endearing about the fledgling artist.
Then the accident happened, and her attitude changed. Her mother was lost in the car crash and Irene just kind of drifted. Her outlook became much more withdrawn, often listening to instead of suggesting. Her father wasn't much help, he just went through the motions. Leaving Irene to try and keep the household going. She lost her gallery opportunities, the administrator politely telling Irene she just wasn't conveying anything worth saying.
Irene took that advice to heart, the next day, painting a furious muse on the gallery wall. Needless to say, the gallery banned her and blacklisted her in their town going forward from any showings. Her father, deciding to start again in a new town packed Irene up and moved. Yet Irene found something in street art that the gallery didn't let her feel, angry, she'd continue to paint the angry muses in their new town. She just made sure nobody caught her this time..
Her positive attitude began to slowly return, even painting on canvas' once again. Yet, the angry muses still appeared through her new town. Her father hopes maybe she'll eventually quit going her nightly "paint the town every color" activities before she's caught...
