Dear Spades:

[ratherberiding.livejournal.com]

So, a part of Mel's history involves the Spades. Specifically, she went through a Rebellious Period right around 19 or 20 in which she met, got involved with, got engaged to, and violently broke up with an as-yet-unnamed Spade Simon. Before she could enter the making-up part of the relationship cycle, he was killed in a challenge by another Spade on his (or her) way up. She took it to heart and threw herself into her work, and she's never thrown herself out again. He was the last person she was involved with.

Looking at the timeline, I'm willing to make her current age somewhere between 30-36 so that her Spade fiancé could have been killed by one of the current Spades. Any takers? :3

Later...

Right, David it is. She hates him for it, but it's a cold, cordial hatred because she grew up in the Deck, she knows how it works, etc. But he's the reason she turned her back on court politics and why she won't discuss them.

Victor can still wander by and indelicately remind her of it, and she can get practice throwing things.

A new card up my sleeve

I'm thinking about bringing in another card based on this BAMF lady:
( Have a peek )

I'm thinking a Club or a Heart, though she could fit in anywhere, though she can be ruthless enough to fit in anywhere. I like the idea of her either working her way up quietly and efficiently or someone who's always held her position and isn't budging. But I don't know enough about the Deck to flesh her out as much as I'd like, so there's something you'd like to see, let me know. I'd like to figure out the suit because I suck enough at LJ names as it is. Also, you guys are crazy fun.

ANOTHER INTRO~ ♥

Hey guys, you know that kid named Adrien who goes everywhere and does everything and yeah?

WELL GUESS WHAT. SECOND CHARACTER. 

Here is mildmannered Blythe Merrick, your Ten of Hearts. Who also happens to have really good aim when it comes to throwing knives. She's a dry, sarcastic type of girl. And she is determined to become a Face Card. Watch out.

:D

Edit: And here is her sws intro post!
