Character Sheet for Minnow Swan
Character Description
Miss Swan is the principal of Eldensand Skill School. She can be a bit of a control freak and demands order at the workplace. However she has a cheeky side and loves her friends. Being from a rather upper class background she can put people off with her apparent superiority but in truth she's out of her depth and lacks the ability to socialize with the people of the place she now calls home. Her best friend is Runa Green, the vice principal, who is also from a rich upbringing but maybe not as strict as Minnie. Miss Swan has trouble turning off work mode and would crack up without her friends to help her relax. She has unresolved issues about her past that still haunt her but her time in Diegoltun has been good therapy and she's more stable now than ever.
Personality
Minnow is a mean no nonsense school principal with a bad temper and an intolerance for anything that distracts from work. However she has a rather relaxed behavior around her friend Runa Green, the vice principal. Outside of work she has a cheeky and friendly nature but her upper class behavior can often leave people wondering how to react. She's an intellectual and can have trouble letting her hair down or chilling out especially as she's often a bag of nerves or thinks people are beneath her and irritating. She's also pretty poor at hard work and doesn't like dirt or poor people. In fact a lot of her problems stem from her class differences rather than her personality directly. She's often a fish out of water and makes a lot of effort to fit in even if everything is still a culture shock to her. She likes kids but isn't really equipped with the skills to know how to handle them but nothing gives her more joy than being just one of the girls even if she can be a bit of a control freak
