Full Name: Beryl Queen
Gender: Female
Age, DOB: 36, born March 16, 1985
Appearance: At first glance, one might not think much of Miss Queen. Stoic, tall, and porcelain, one would be forgiven for mistaking Beryl to be some sort of life-sized fashion model that someone left out in the street. Her skin is unnaturally smooth and her clothes always kept pressed and clean; there's not a hair out of place in the entire ensemble, speaking to the ridiculously long time she takes to do up her appearance. Her outfits vary depending on the situation but on the job, she will unvaryingly be found in her trademark dark blue blazer and sunglasses. Her hair is kept in a short, perfectly trimmed bob that looks as if someone stuck a black salad bowl on her head and she hadn't noticed-- Some say it is so perfectly crafted that even the wind dare not blow it. It's not instantly noticeable, but the fingernails on her right hand are slightly longer and ragged, as if someone has been biting on them. Next to her badge and pistol, she wouldn't be caught dead without her trusty travel kit, containing a miniature bar of soap, shampoo, 3 different combs, scissors, a nail clipper, and lint brush.
Profession: Homicide Detective
Personality: Detective Queen is used to being ignored. She frequently presumes that no one will be watching her, and tends to be horribly unaware when people DO notice her. While she rarely means harm or discomfort, she tends to come across as incredibly off-putting; her love for cleanliness and fashion lead her to dress and act fairly ostentatiously-- While one would easily be lead to believe she's acting out for attention, she becomes very withdrawn and silent when one DOES pay attention to her, and reverts to her cold, professional demeanor. She's highly cleanly and meticulous, keenly aware of her own appearance even if she has problems realizing that others can be too; there's a rumor around the office that Detective Queen can sense if the smallest speck of dust lands on her blazer while it's in the closet at home.
While not the most social or outgoing person, Detective Queen harbors a strong desire to protect others and keep peace in her city. Above all else, she strives to make the City safe for her friends, family, and fellow citizens.
Interests: 90s music, fashion magazines, hair and body care products.
Background information: Having moved to the City in 1989, most of Queen's early childhood memories were made in the city. Her parents were typically very busy, and with two other mouths to feed, Beryl was usually lower on the priority totem pole. They were a poor family, and things were not helped when Berly's younger sister was caught in a near-fatal accident; one that sent the family further into debt. With her parents working like crazy to keep their children healthy and happy, Beryl grew afraid that asking anything of them would lead to her parents to think of her as petulant and whiny. To that end she set out to be as self-sufficient as possible, which lead to her staying highly under the radar in school. She neither excelled nor failed, did little beyond study and work, and never asked questions or sought answers, trying to stay as "safe" as possible. She enjoyed her hobbies of music and fashion in secret, and would scribble her own designs when she was feeling down. More than anything, Beryl wanted to be useful in her parent's eyes; a "perfect child" that would take care of herself.
Time moved on and Beryl set out to fulfill her dreams away from the city, taking her sketches and heading out to become a fashion designer-- However, she quickly found herself unsuited to the high pressure of the fashion industry. A combination of naivete, inexperience, and harsh rejection ultimately sank Queen's first dream, so she gathered her things and turned to the next place she could think of-- The Police. But they had already disbanded by that point. Hahaha music jokes. But anyways, Queen returned to the City and joined the police force, starting out as a low-ranking officer. She hadn't really intended to go anywhere in this job, but she performed well so she was eventually raised to Detective. After so many years, she's found a comfortable routine, even if that routine involves bloody corpses and horrible tragedies.
Family, if any: Mother, Father, 2 Younger Sisters
Wealth/Social Class: Middle Class
