HISTORY

Read on? Part 1.

Mia's story actually begins in 1969 when a 17-year old girl ran away from her home in Cassadaga, Florida. Bound for San Francisco, she hitch-hiked across the U.S. in order to experience life on her own. The 1967 "Summer of Love" was long over, the peaceful "Flower Children" of Haight-Ashbury replaced by bikers, drug dealers and bums. It was fortunate for Shelby Ames that she met Elizabeth Faulkner and Tom Granger, a couple who took her under their collective wings.

Tom and Elizabeth lived part of the year in the Bay Area, and summered at their small farm on the headlands north of Mendocino. Tom was a professor of History at the U of C's Berkeley campus. When they headed north to Mendocino, Shelby went with them. Nor was she their only guest; Tom invited 19-year old Hikaru Nakamura, one of his students, to go with them. Both young people would work on the farm, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and unpolluted air amidst the redwoods.

Elizabeth, a skilled, powerful witch, recognized latent magic in Shelby, then learned the girl's mother was a practicing witch in Cassadaga, Florida, a small town founded by and for Spiritualists, psychics and those with similar gifts. So, Shelby was no stranger to magic, but seemed to have little actual talent herself. It happens in some families; the gifts skip a generation. Elizabeth taught Shelby to use what little ability she possessed to create constructive magic. Shelby would never be magically adept, but she was a diligent student, and eventually became a fringe member of Elizabeth's Spiral Circle coven.

Living and working closely with Hikaru, the handsome Japanese man soon caught Shelby's eye. The attraction was mutual, and the pair were inseparable by summer's end. When Hikaru returned to San Francisco in the fall, Shelby was with him. This didn't sit well with the Nakamura family, and Shelby faced a cool reception. Hikaru's parents were Niesi Japanese, in that they'd been in America for several generations, however, they still adhered to many of the old ways. Hikaru was expected to marry a Japanese girl, and his parents never quite accepted Shelby.

Shelby and Hikaru were deeply in love, so Hikaru ignored his parents objections. Not long after the couple returned to San Francisco, Shelby discovered she was pregnant. They decided to marry, but had to plan two weddings: one in a Spiritualist church to please Shelby's mother, and a traditional Japanese ceremony for Hikaru's family. Even this concession didn't redeem Shelby in the Nakamura's eyes. Her only saving grace was to present Hikaru with the first of four sons. Their fifth child made her way into the world on a cold, foggy Christmas Eve in 1980. Born at the stroke of midnight, the girl had what is commonly known as a "caul" over her face. Shelby and her mother were delighted with this, since a "caul" is allegedly a sign of great magical power. Hikaru and Shelby named their daughter Mia, after Shelby's mother, and Yukiko for Hikaru's great aunt.

Despite bearing four healthy sons and a daughter, Shelby was still barely tolerated by the Nakamura family. The children, fortunately, fared better in that respect than their mother. The boys were doted upon, which is typical in Japanese families, but Mia was treated with polite indifference. Her maternal grandmother, however, was especially thrilled when the girl was named for her. Mia Ames exhibited great interest in her granddaughter, lavishing love and affection on the girl. Her maternal grandmother even moved to the west coast in order to be closer to Mia.

As Mia grew up, she had to work twice as hard as her brothers for recognition, praise or attention. Her father was at least affectionate, but the general attitude of the Nakamura family was the foundation of Mia's diverse personality. It was like being two different people. When around her father's family, she was forced into being the epitome of a Japanese girl: quiet, respectful, obedient and unobtrusive. She was taught to keep her emotions private, and never to display her feelings openly.

On the other hand, Mia's maternal grandmother was encouraged the child to speak her mind, and be open about her feelings. Mia was sometimes confused by the varied "instructions," but managed to survive her bi-cultural upbringing through sheer will-power. She was smart, clever and an excellent observer of the world around herself. It's quite possible Mia's diverse upbringing helped her develop a strong-will, and made her determined to succeed in life. Shelby and her mother began teaching Mia about magic nearly from the time she could walk and talk, though the girl's gifts wouldn't manifest for years. Eventually, they gave her books to read, and allowed her to observe actual spell work when she was old enough. Mia Ames joined Elizabeth's Spiral Circle Coven, and all three women helped prepare Mia for the day when her gifts would manifest. By the girl's 12th birthday, she was already well-versed in the occult and the arcane.

Although Hikaru was aware of his mother-in-law's magical talents and his daughter's abilities, he chose to ignore them in favor of treating Mia like an ordinary child. The older he got, the more conservative he became, so Mia learned to keep her magical studies secret from the Japanese side of her family. None of her brothers displayed any magical talent, but they seemed to think Mia's gifts were cool. Other than their mother, they encouraged Mia more than anyone else in her immediate family. The four boys told their sister they were proud of her, and it was this which gave Mia the impetus she needed in order to succeed in her endeavors. Their support helped her deal with the occasional depression which came as a result of being considered "second best" to her paternal grandparents. To please her Japanese family, Mia went to the Japanese Cultural Center to study the language, history and traditions of Japan. She was, however, half-Caucasian, which set her (and a few others who were also only part Japanese) apart from the rest of the students.

It was an instructor at the Cultural Center who suggested Mia study Tai Chi, one of the non-aggressive martial arts. Mia used Akido not for defense, but as a means to reach a balance within herself. Through Tai Chi Mia learned how to concentrate and focus — each very important to a fledgling witch. Meditation helped her This helped her reach an all important balance within herself, allowing her to focus, ground and center herself. School also helped Mia be happier with herself, since she was bright, and quickly showed an aptitude for creative subjects. Mia particularly enjoyed writing Haiku, a form of Japanese poetry. Mia joined the Glee Club, Drama Club and even tried out for cheer leading. She wasn't good at math or science, but showed interest in History. In this, she took after Hikaru, who now taught History at a local high school. Mia toyed with the idea of teaching, but a school trip to Washington, D.C.'s Smithsonian Institute soon changed her mind. Mia decided then and there that she would someday become a museum curator, preserving history and art for generations to come.

Mia's magic improved throughout her teen-aged years, and she discovered she possessed a penchant for the Warding and Protective spheres. Unfortunately, none of the witches in Elizabeth's coven had these abilities, so it was slow learning for Mia. Most of those in Spiral Circle coven worked Elemental magic, so Mia absorbed some knowledge of this magic by sheer exposure. Finally, Elizabeth found a witch in Sausalito whose specialties were Warding and Protection. She convinced him to teach Mia, and the girl took to the spheres as the proverbial duck takes to water.

In her ordinary life, school helped Mia come out of her shell. She began to blossom into a popular, pretty teenager, a typical high school girl who loved all the normal things high school girls love. She had problems relating to boys, but she wasn't into the whole social scene. Instead, Mia wanted to get into a good university, so concentrated on her schoolwork. Mia got excellent grades, scored well on her SAT test, and graduated with high honors. This made applying for colleges easy, and she chose the University of Washington, thirteen hours from home in Seattle.

The academic atmosphere of college was heaven for Mia. She proved a dedicated, enthusiastic student majoring in History, and minoring in Museum Science. Of particular interest was 20th Century American History, her focus on the post-WWII era. Her instructors were pleased with her scholastic achievements, and for one of the few times in her life, her father said he was proud of her. Mia enjoyed the convenience of computers, taking a few courses in order to better understand and utilize the Internet for research. Hours were spent pouring over the vast wealth of information available, sometimes to the detriment of everything else. Like so many other people, Mia could get caught up in chat-rooms, or online games, hiding away in her dorm room and staying up till all hours. Her grades never faltered, but the physical exhaustion took its own toll.

It was one of her History professor who first interested Mia in "conspiracy theories," and Mia was instantly intrigued by the subject. Dr. Levine was no believer in conspiracies himself, but he taught his students to thoroughly examine each theory, looking beyond the "lunatic fringe" for the tiny spark of truth which made even the wildest theory believable. Here the 'Net proved its worth; thousands of individual websites were dedicated to all the major conspiracy theories: the deaths of John & Bobby Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe supposed suicide; the Oklahoma City bombing; 911 and even older theories dating back to the Lincoln Assassination. Mia became totally absorbed in the controversy surrounding JFK's death in Dallas on November 22, 1963.

Unfortunately, there was a down side to Mia's college days. The stress of a full-time student, combined with physical exhaustion sent Mia into severe depression. She ended up seeing a counselor who urged her to continue her anti-depressants, to slow down a bit and maybe take some time off. Since she was so close to graduation, Mia couldn't afford to take time off from school, but she did take a smaller class load for the last year. At the end of four years, 23-year old Mia had a BA in History, and BS in Museum Science. The latter gave her the skills necessary to preserve artifacts and documents, restore photographs, and organize collections—-all useful knowledge for those who work in museums. She even took a couple of drama and public speaking courses to improve her confidence in talking in front of large crowds. Besides that, being away from the restrictive atmosphere of her home helped Mia hone her social skills. By graduation, Mia displayed an aura of confidence in herself and in her abilities.

By this time, her paternal grandfather had passed away. Without his influence, her grandmother gradually grew more demonstrative in her affection for Mia, but not Shelby. Sadly, Mia's mother would never be fully accepted into the Nakamura family. Hikaru was nearing retirement age, and all the Japanese side of her family felt it was time Mia forgot this nonsense about a career and got married. All but one of her brothers were married with children, but Mia wanted none of that domestic scene. She was determined to have a career, and announced she was planning to study for her Masters in History — at the University of North Texas in Dallas!

Mia's senior dissertation on the JFK Assassination was regarded as one of the best student produced papers at UW. For that reason it was widely circulated throughout the academic community. It also showed up on many websites dedicated to the assassination, which gave the paper (and Mia) even more exposure. Just as Mia prepared to leave for Texas, she received a call from Mr. Gary Mack, curator of the "6th Floor Museum" in Dallas. Opened in 1989, the museum is housed on the 6th & 7th floor of the former Texas School Book Depository. It was from the 6th floor window overlooking Dealey Plaza that Lee Harvey Oswald allegedly fired the shots which killed (then) Pres. John F. Kennedy. Mr. Mack told Mia he'd read her dissertation, and offered her a job as the museum's Educational Director. Mia said she needed a couple of days to consider the offer, and proceeded to nearly drive herself insane by over analyzing and weighing her options. Because of this doubt, Mia almost missed that window of opportunity, but eventually decided to accept the position.

So, even though it was a frightening step, Mia made plans to leave San Francisco, her family, Elizabeth and the Spiral Circle Coven behind, and head east on the biggest adventure of her life. Her parents presented her with a used minivan and $1000 to help her get settled. Her brothers gifted her with more money, and wished her luck. It was a tearful farewell, and her Japanese grandmother even shed a few tears. Mia Ames had already retired back to Florida, and was pleased her granddaughter would be closer than a continent away. It took Mia two days to reach Dallas, but a week later, she had her own place. Her job was everything she hoped it would be. Gary Mack was an interesting man, and they had many discussions about conspiracy theories versus the "lone assassin" as presented by the Warren Commission. Despite a few bouts with depression and self-doubt, Mia enjoyed life on her own in Dallas.

Mia began as Director of Education, but soon found herself helping preserve 40-year old photos and documents. Although no one knew it, she used her Warding & Protection magic to accomplish the restoration. After six months, Mia took over scheduling tour groups from local schools and visiting dignitaries. (Mia even met Pres. George W. Bush and First Lady, Laura.) After two years, Mia has been promoted to Deputy Curator, a position in which she takes great pride. In addition to work, Mia takes classes and researches her Master's thesis (The JFK Assassination: A Nation Changed). All that doesn't leave her much spare time, but Mia strives to prioritize her time. As for as her magic, she keeps that part of her life a closely guarded secret. However, setting wards helps enable her to protect fragile artifacts, recordings, photos and documents in the museum. The down side of that is the magic exhausts her physically, and she can only do so much at a time. At the moment, she hasn't found a coven, but knows one exists in the Dallas area. She keeps a weather eye open for other practitioners.

Mia has never lost her interest in conspiracy theories, and enjoys discussing them with tourists at the museum, and in chat rooms on the Internet. Surfing the 'Net is one of her hobbies, though she can get "lost" in the online world to the detriment of her health. She swears it helps her relax, but her continued practice of Aikido does more for her than anything else. She doesn't use it as a martial art, but as a means of meditation to help her focus, ground and center. It's mainly through this she attains a balance, and fights off the downward spiraling depression which has been one of her life-long problems. At the moment, Mia is 25, single and very happy with where she is in life.

CHARACTER DETAILS

PERSONALITY

Mia was raised to be unobtrusive, respectful and obedient, some of which she has retained into adulthood. The down side to this was being viewed as somehow worth less than her brothers. Where many children might throw tantrums, Mia channeled the negative energy into a positive stoicism which made her strong and determined to fulfill her chosen goal.

Other influences in Mia's life encouraged exploration, experimentation and openly demonstrating affection. Because of this, Mia has no problem speaking her mind or voicing her opinions. This is tempered by her stoicism, and Mia is selective about what she says and to whom. Mia was taught early in life not to speak of her gifts to just anyone. She was urged to caution, and even her closest friends and colleagues have no idea she's a practicing witch.

There is a creative, fun side to Mia. She loves writing Haiku, a form of Japanese poetry. Though she is no artist, she enjoys sketching and designing displays for the museum. Mia is, however, shy about her creations, and doesn't often show them to people. On the other hand, Mia loves to perform her poetry, and can sometimes be found at Absinthe on "open mike" night reciting her haiku..

In contrast, there are times when Mia withdraws from everything and everyone. It's during these times she feels stirrings of paranoia — which probably stems from her addiction to conspiracy theories. She spends hours locked inside her house, surfing the web, ostensibly researching her thesis. Fortunately, these moods don't happen often, and she's learned to control them by forcing herself to leave the house and do something, as well as utilizing her Tai Chi for meditation.

If there is a truly a negative side to Mia's personality, it's her tendency to let criticism and critique crack her confidence. Again, this stems from being raised to feel second best to her brothers. This mostly manifests as a feeling of worthlessness, but it can cause her to falter on important decisions.

Regarding other supernaturals: Mia has one simple philosophy — Do unto others and it harm none.

SKILLS & ABILITIES

Museum Skills
Mia is well-trained in conservation, preservation and restoration of artifacts. That includes, but isn't limited to photographs, newspaper articles, art, historical artifacts, documents and other items commonly found in museums. She also knows how to organize and display collections, special programs and maintain records for a museum.

Poetry
One of Mia's favorite pass-times is writing haiku, a form of Japanese poetry. She's shy of her talent, but has been known to perform at "open mike" night at Absinthe. Mainly she writes the haiku for personal pleasure.

History

This is where Mia really shines. She is particularly well-versed in 20th Century American History, specifically the Post-WWII era. Of special interest is the JFK years, as well as events prior to and subsequent of his Nov. 22, 1963 assassination. She also has interest in the Tudor/Elizabethan period, and the American Civil War. The latter stems from curiosity about the assassination of Pres. Abraham Lincoln, and the similarities between it and the JFK assassination.

Computers/Internet Savvy
Not only does Mia use computers in her work, but one of her hobbies is surfing the 'net. She utilizes the Internet to research her Masters thesis, as well as keep in touch with family and friends via Email. She has a knack for finding obscure facts buried on websites. Mia cannot program the computer, but she can fix minor software problems.

Conspiracy Theories

Mia was first introduced to conspiracy theories by Dr. Levine, one of her History professors. It has remained of great interest to Mia for several years, now. She may not believe all the various theories, but she enjoys tracing their development. She belongs to several "skeptic" sites, and is often called upon to speak authoritatively regarding conspiracy theories attached to both the Kennedy and Lincoln Assassinations. At the 6th Floor Museum, Mia is known as the "expert" on JFK conspiracy theories.

Japanese Culture/Traditions

Although Mia's paternal grandparents were Niesi Japanese, they nonetheless adhered to many traditions of Japan. Mia grew up celebrating the annual festivals, wedding and funeral ceremonies. She can converse in Japanese, though she cannot read or write kanji. She is familiar with Japanese art forms, and learned Tai Chi at the Japanese Cultural Center in San Francisco. The latter she uses for meditation purposes only.

Public Speaking
Mia took courses in drama and public speaking in college. Both have proven helpful in her work, since she speak effectively in front of large crowds and tour groups at the museum.

Magical Abilities
Mia's primary magical sphere is Warding, with her secondary sphere as Protection. She mainly uses her magic to keep items in the museum from deterioration, but has also warded her home. Her meditation helps her focus, but doesn't prevent her from being drained by casting major spells.

NON-RACIAL WEAKNESSES

Overly Analytical

One of Mia's flaws is a tendency to overly analyze everything. She'll weigh options until a decision is demanded, and ofttimes this translates to a missed opportunity or an ill-advised choice. This likely stems from a lifetime of being seen as "inferior" to her brothers. Though Mia has overcome many aspects of this treatment, this is something which creeps into all parts of her life, and can even affect her magic.

Diminutive Size
Being short and petite has drawbacks. She has to sit on pillows to drive her car, and can't climb into pick-up trucks and full-sized vans without a step-stool. She also has to walk twice as fast as longer legged people, and gets tired quickly. She's also prone to spraining her ankle when wearing high heels, and just try to reach something on a high shelf when you're five feet tall!

Depression

It's normal to occasionally have a "case of the blues," but Mia can let this spiral downwards until she's in full-stage depression. This began in college, and she saw a counselor who recommended anti-depressants. She has a prescription for Cymbalta, which usually helps prevent severe depression. If she doesn't take the meds daily, Mia will withdraw into herself, spending hours obsessing on the computer. She's even been known to get a little paranoid, an aspect of her condition probably brought on by her addiction to conspiracy theories.

Magical Weaknesses

Warding, while not nearly as draining as, say, Illusion, can take a lot out of Mia. She has a tendency to work long hours Warding and Protecting deteriorating artifacts and photographs at the museum, which can leave Mia exhausted for hours, and sometimes (depending upon how long/hard she works) days. Also, Mia's magic can be affected by her depression; it simply doesn't work right if she's in a complete stage of depression. So far, the use of anti-depressants haven't affected her gifts. In fact, Cymbalta and meditation help her maintain a balance.

Distraction
Unfortunately, Mia's magical abilities are severely affected if she's distracted in any way. The amount of skill she can wield is diametrically opposed to the amount of concentration Mia possesses. The fewer distractions, the stronger and better her spells work. For this reason, she uses her Tai Chi as a means to ground and center herself.

WHERE MY HEART WILL TAKE ME (Russell Watson)

It's been a long road, getting from there to here.
It's been a long time, but my time is finally near.
And I can feel the change in the wind right now.
Nothing's in my way.
And they're not gonna hold me down no more.
No, they're not gonna hold me down.

[Chorus]
'Cause I've got faith of the heart.
I'm going where my heart will take me.
I've got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I've got strength of the soul.
And no one's gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star.
I've got faith, faith of the heart.

It's been a long night, trying to find my way.
Been through the darkness, now I finally have my day.
And I will see my dream come alive at last.
I will touch the sky.
And they're not gonna hold me down no more.
No, they're not gonna change my mind.

[Chorus]

I've known the wind so cold. I've seen the darkest days.
But now the winds I feel are only winds of change.
I've been through the fire, and I've been through the rain.
But I'll be fine…

Has anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good, they die young.
You know, I just looked around and he's gone.

Anybody here seen my old friend John?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good, they die young.
I just looked around and he's gone.

Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people,
But it seems the good, they die young.
I just looked 'round and he's gone.

Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
And we'll be free …
Some day soon, and it's a-gonna be one day …

Anybody here seen my old friend Bobby?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
I thought I saw him walkin' up over the hill,
With Abraham, Martin and John.
