it's such a shame
that you became

oh dear jonny
i'll miss you

Extra information:
Full name: Dawn Ellen Allegro
Age: 22
Occupation: Caporegime
Build: Strong, yet dainty looking.


The Family:
Dawn was born to the Boss of the Maryland Mafia Family, located in Baltimore. Her father was open with her about what was going on, but made sure she knew she couldn't tell the others. Ever since she was little, she was intensely loyal to the 'family' that made up the gang, often begging to go help them. Her loose lips as a child got her into hot waters, as she would often let her families business slip out in conversation, although with age she was able to keep a secret.

As she got older, it was clear to most of the made men that Dawn was no idiot, she had all of the natural talents needed to be involved. She was a loan shark, offering money to her friends to buy whatever they wanted, and blackmail them into paying extremely high interest rates. She was an excellent liar, she was deceiving, and she wasn't afraid to break the law. Woman were starting to get more involved in mafia at this time, it was getting less and less far-fetched to think a girl could rise up the ranks.

Although with great caution, when she was sixteen her father allowed her to assist in extorting an older plumerian, and from that point onwards it was clear this was her calling. She seemed sweet like sugar, but quickly turned sour when she meant business.

The flower crown:
You may be wondering why somebody involved with the mafia would wear blossoms in her hair, and the answer is very simple: It's just a front. After an offhand remark from a family member who said "Dawn, you look like a girl who'd want to pick flowers and have world peace, not somebody who'd want to bust open peoples heads. " This gave her the idea to take up a environmentalist persona in public, so whenever she was asked about her career she could simply say "My job is helping to restore the earth". In truth, she really doesn't care all that much about going green, but now she even wears it in her private life, just incase somebody were to bust in.

Personality:
It's best to describe her personality in layers, instead of just one list of traits. How she appears to a stranger, how she appears to a family member, and the parts of her that nobody sees.

Layer 1

◆ Demure ◇ Hippieish ◆ Mindful ◇ Witty ◆ Boyish ◇

If you caught her on the street, all you'd think of her is that she was a polite, if a bit overly polite, young woman. Upon getting to know her she still remains very modest, almost shy. She'll often talk about nature and how 'important' it is to her. However, she has a small bit of a boyish charm to her, enough that she might want to drive remote control trucks, but not enough to drive a pick up truck. In the times that she does speak, she's very intelligent, always with an interesting thing to talk about.

Layer 2
△ Cunning ▲ Smart △ Cute ▲ Assertive △ Talkative ▲ Mediator △ Loyal ▲

Once she's back home, Dawn drops the act of the 'polite young woman', and instead becomes her true self. This is the side of her who show's when crime needs to get done, using her ingenuity and sketchy moral standards to make business easier. As much as she tries to be respected, most of the Soldiers tend to think of her still as a young girl, adorable and a chatterbox. Despite all of the teasing she gets from the family, she still loves them, and would get in harms way for them if need be.

Layer 3
▼ Hopeless Romantic ▽

As hard as she tries to ignore this aspect of herself, she can't, and her dreams are always haunted by it. Romance. Although her position in the mob always is the thing holding her back, especially considering how sourly her last relationship ended.

Ky.
[Ky is owned by Tricksters.]

It was in the spring, she was 19. By a lucky twist of fate, she met Ky at a public park. Although she had her 'lovely' facade up at first, his crude sense of humor started to break her down, and eventually they started to text. It was clear they clicked, she'd spend an increasing amount of her free time chatting him up. One thing lead to another, before she knew it Dawn was falling in love. By now Ky realized well enough she wasn't an environmentalist after all, but he had no idea of her real job. Tentatively, after getting some back up, she invited him over, to tell him the truth.

He wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea, but when you're surrounded by members of the mob you don't exactly express that. He could never have been a 'made man' anyway, his bloodline wasn't italian, but a bit unwillingly he became an associate.

They kept dating, although the dates now included running rackets and then going go a movie. Ky never had to murder anybody, but he came close to having to. He started to get a bit more uncomfortable with the whole situation, he wanted out of the family.

Obviously this didn't go over to well. It can be assumed that breaking the heart of the daughter of a mafia boss isn't going to end well, and it didn't. She wasn't the person who was the captain of the mission, but she was there to backup an attempted murder on him. She knew where her loyalties were, and they weren't with him anymore. He ended up getting away, but was injured in the process.

Why she does it:
You may be curious as to why she's in the mafia, why she didn't escape, why she does the crimes. It's easier to put it in her own words to explain why.

❝ The mafia is just a lot of family members protecting each other. We look out for each other, even if we have to hurt other people to do it. If one of us is hurt, we'll keep them safe. Ever since I was a baby I had so many people who loved me, who would safeguard me, who told me I was important. The government can't offer that, they never will. And if you want to be defended you have to help defend as well. La Cosa Nostra, baby. ❞

Notes:
A bit of mafia jargon in case you're confused.
A 'made man' is somebody of full/half italian descent who is officially inducted into the mafia, if they have other ethnic backgrounds they can only be an associate, not a part of the family.
A solider is the lowest rank.
A Caporegime [dawn's positon] is below the boss and the underboss, but is still a high ranking positon, who handles a crew of soliders.
Rackets, or Racketeering is basically making a problem, then offering to solve the problem for money, in it's most basic form. Extortion [asking for money to be protected from the mafia] is a form of rackeetering.

Cosa Nostra is italian for 'our thing', which after a FBI wiretap became La Cosa Nostra [which is technically grammatically incorrect], and is used to refer to the Mafia.

The Maryland Mafia isn't a true thing anymore, there used to be the "Baltimore crew" based in Baltimore that was busted in the 90's. The fake one I made is one of the 'american mafia' variety, Cosa Nostra. Technically females aren't supposed to be allowed in the Mafia, but from my research I found that due to it's decline they are being allowed more often.

I tried to keep it as accurate as I could, although I'm sure I faltered in a few areas. I used the Wikipedia page as a starting point, and relistend to an old podcast from stuff you should know on the mafia as well.

Special thanks to Tricksters for allowing me to use Ky as the 'jonny' of the story, it was very helpful!

"when the dog bites, when the bee stings---when i'm feeling sad..."

how i'd respond (personality);;
Muse is easily summarized as a girl everybody wants to know. She's faithful, funny and incredibly friendly. Muse is a gentle, loving plumerian who loves to have a good laugh. Her sense of humor is fantastic, and she's always on the look out for a good joke. Around most others she's polite and courteous; mindful of manners and social boundaries. When you first meet her, it's easy to overlook the sweet heart underneath the surface though. She's outwardly very shy towards others, so most would walk past her without a second thought. It takes quite a bit of regular talking and interaction to make her comfortable being her full self around others. She's a bit slow to trust others, though she's always polite and kind regardless of how shy she may be. She tends to be a wallflower, though she's always dreamed of being the life of the party.


my favorite things (most important to her);;
what is most important to Muse isn't really very easy to explain-- but it could be described as, herself, in a way. The musical muse she experiences is what means the most to her. What inspires someone to draw, what inspires someone to write.. what inspires her to write music, is the muse. The siren's call, as you could describe it; it is the same to her as the inspiration that draws you in to perform an activity, just like the siren's call that draws in the sailors. Sort of like, lets say, a song you listen to inspires you to draw or inspires someone to sing... The beauty of the winter that could inspire a photographer to take a picture... She feels that inspiration from very little, and that being one of the main reasons the things that inspire her mean so much. The simple inspiration that makes you want to draw or write or sing or dance... that's what her favorite thing is.

Name: Fletcher Grey

Gender: Male

Age/Birthday: 22 years old; 18th of December

Race: Japanese/American

{ Altruistic || Loner || Honest || Taciturn || Sanguine || Meek || Dreamer. }

♫ In general, Fletcher, is quite a complex plumerian. He tries very hard to keep his emotions down because according to his parents, showing emotions was a weakness and should only be shown with those you trust most. He always manages to control his emotions/feelings well enough.
Generally when he is around strangers, he acts quiet, antisocial and even impolite for lack of response. For he never got used to social activity, growing up with parents who worked in a lab. He covers his emotions with silence, and if mad, will freeze up and refuse to move, though this rarely occurs. As he does tend to shut others out, it's often difficult for him to make new friends.
He has a difficult time trusting people, but around close friends and his birds, he is a much different person. He has no trouble talking to and showing his emotions to them. He likes having company, despite what some say; often just enjoying quiet activities together, though when his happiness shines through, his face turns bright red.
Fletcher is known to be a head-in-the-clouds sort of plumerian, always situating a vague stare on his face, often dreaming of flight.




♫ What Matters Most:
Ornithology has always been a lifelong passion for Fletcher. Fletcher's parents have always worked in an ornithology lab as scientists researching behaviour and disease and were both extremely busy, and what little time they could spend together was in the lab, and Fletcher relished it.
He began to associate ornithology with happy memories.
It was also in the ornithology lab that he spent most of his time, pleasing his parents by feeding the birds, which is where he sparked a kinship with a young raven, rare in the parts, whom he later named Edgar, had a broken wing.
Fletcher would whistle back and forth with Edgar as his way of communicating (or so he thought at the time). Atticus later died from an unknown disease shown common in Ravens and other birds.
After Edgar's' death, Fletcher decided to devote his time to helping and researching birds in the hopes that a cure could be found.
Every bird he met had been given a name and a story, because he felt that no one, not even a bird should live or die without a friend.

Likes, Dislikes and Hobbies.

Fletcher likes very few things truly; he does like reading, mostly poetry or historical literature.
He plays the occasional instrument; playing the shoko and the shakuhachi for his cultural heritage. His tastes in music is similar, being classical/traditional, not being brought up with with newer genres.
He's also a big fan of traditional arts such as origami, ink brush painting and tea ceremonies.
Fletcher is also a huge traveler and loves experiencing the different cultures.

He doesn't like loud noises, partially because they give him serious headaches and partially because it scares his birds. He also severely dislikes hot weather; because in summer he can't drink hot tea, wear scarves or fluffy sweaters without melting away.
As much as doesn't want to, he has an extreme dislike cats. They eat/scare his birds, enter his house through the windows in summer and claw up all his furniture.

As for his hobbies, he enjoys reading and writing as a creative outlet.
He also likes to build furniture and birdhouses for the birds.
But more than anything he likes to take walks in autumn, the colours are incredible and drinking pumpkin spice lattes is an experience anyone can enjoy.

♫ Relationships:

Fletcher and Benji first met at Benji's farm in Georgia when his parents took on a case to investigate the migration patterns of birds in the area and stayed in Benji's homestead.
Fletcher and Benji are good friends, maybe even best friends. They have very different personalities though, Benji being relaxed and outgoing and Fletcher being so meek and strung up. They both, however, enjoy literature and different cultures, and Fletcher doesn't mind playing his traditional instruments for him much despite furtively refusing to play for anyone else. He finds many of the things he says and does fun, especially making flower crowns, and Benji is helping to bring Fletcher out of his shell little by little since their first meeting a year ago.

Name: Yuki - Meaning Snow in Japanese. ;///;
Gender: Female
Who/what is most important to this plumerian?:
Yuki happens to have both a who and a what that is most important to her.
When Yuki was young her father was her idol, she followed behind him everywhere he went and if you were looking for either of them you could almost bet that they would be together. She was rather shy as a young Plumie so most of the time she was hiding behind him, however she did seem to be more at ease once he gave her the okay. They did everything together and it made her happier than she could imagine. He would play dress up with her, they would tell each other made up stories, and go on adventures in their back yard. To be honest he only seemed to brighten up around Yuki, he was actually a very plain guy. In fact the only really fancy thing he owned was a very plain chain necklace that he kept on his nightstand. Very often Yuki would "borrow" it and wear it around the house when she would play dress up. Most of the time when she would get caught with it she would beg him to let her keep it, but he always told her that when she was older maybe he'd give it to her.

Yuki loved her father with all of her heart, without her mother in the picture he really was her everything. One day though he had to leave and she didn't really understand why. Before saying good bye to her, he sat her down and took her paw; placing in it the necklace of his that she had always tried to borrow. So while asking her if she would hold onto it for a while he closed her paw around the necklace. Then he gave her a hug and a kiss on the forehead before walking away. That's all she really remembers of him now. The house he left her in in became very quiet and it just seemed so cold now. She never had to worry about bills or food, their home had been paid for and she often got money through the mail to cover her expenses though there was never a return address on the envelopes. She doesn't wear the necklace too often anymore because the metal has started to wear down and she fears she will break it but she always keeps it close to her because looking at it reminds her of the good times they had together. Though sometimes that leads her to wonder what really happened to him...it was all so vague and so sudden, is he still out there somewhere. If he is even alive, and if he is, does he still think about her.

Yuki does hope that she will see him again some day, though if she doesn't he will still always be very important to her, even if he isn't there anymore. She still has the memories they shared, and the necklace he gave her will always remind her of those times.
