Profile: Patrice & Melissa Sherman

If you're just perusing, you might want to wait until you get to the point in the story where I actually link to this profile to avoid any spoilers.



Patrice Sherman

Age: 22 in Paula's story (so 25 in the present)
Height: 5'6"
No Rank
No Power
Occupation: Runs the bar/hangout place in the Southlands village


Grew up in the village with both her parents. She's actually pretty stable!

Very honest and forthright, she looks like her mother and takes after her father. Doesn't take crap from anyone. Actually keeps a bat near by the bar for just in case, but she's never had to use it. She's well respected by all of the Southland people who come by her bar. She knows how to keep secrets and she's dependable.

Has one daughter. Lives with her mother and daughter at the bar as her father passed away over four years ago.

Views on sex: She sees sex as a dangerous thing for a woman. It's an idea she picked up from her father which was exemplified by her mother. Sex for a woman equals pregnancy which means being claimed by the father of the child. She watched it happen to plenty of her friends when she was younger and had decided it wasn't for her.

Uhm, oops. See Melissa Sherman.



Melissa Sherman

Age: 4
Height: short!
Power: Hasn't shown any, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have a power


Pat's little "oops." And what an enjoyable oops she is. She's strong willed, silly, a little mischievous, and quite stubborn. Enjoys playing in mud and looking at bugs. Doesn't like people who smoosh bugs. The fastest way to make her angry is to smush a bug in front of her.

Has no clue who her father is, but she likes to pretend it's Brandon. He shares her interests in the bugs and he doesn't smoosh them. Plus he's funny.

If she's quiet, you really really want to check on her.





Ten Facts about Pat

1. She does not think about how she's pretty despite Brandon reminding her of any chance he can sneak it in.

2. She's cool, seriously. Even before Brandon, she was liked by the people who came to the bar to relax. Her secret has to be her laugh and her smile. They come easy to her, and no one ever fears that she's not getting the joke no matter how raunchy.

3. At least once a year, when Rita points out Brandon's birthday, Jimmy and Pat go half and half on a bottle of wine for him. (She makes it and he delivers it, but the sentiment is there.)

4. She's always known she would grow up and run the bar, even when she was little. It wasn't until she was older that she started to think expectations might get in the way of her plans.

5. A friend does her hair. Her mother hates the braids, but Pat finds it so easy and useful.

6. Yes, she personally knows at least two of Brandon's partners because they do frequent the bar. Kyrene is one. She hangs out and drinks. The other only stops by to purchase bottles of alcohol for her own home/business, and generally has little to say to Pat.

7. Bugs actually creep her out. One of the few things that do.

8. Her favorite spot is the meadow behind the bar where her and Brandon used to sneak away to for time alone. She would never say this out loud though.

9. Her first time with Brandon she was so nervous she thought she would throw up. (She didn't.)

10. Oddly, she never really thinks about who Brandon's father is. She's never met Henri either.
