The floors beneath you creek
To call my name
Here in my web of dreams
My whispers turn to screams
And place the blame

Bio: Mercedes grew up in Detroit. It was her parents’ hometown, as well as hers. It was during their many years there that a grueling battle broke out. Her parents thought it was a conflict between rival gangs. Mercedes was only 14 at the time. They were locked inside for many weeks. It was daunting. As a child you don’t foresee all the troubles as your parents do.
It was one fateful day that Mercedes left the house to not return for many hours. A search party was sent after she had gone missing for so long. They found her in an abandoned field. What they didn’t expect to find was that she was alive, barely. Her body had been horribly mutilated by something so fierce. After weeks in the hospital she managed to recover, except for changes in her attitude and demeanor. It was hard to go through such a horrible event for any person, let alone a young person. ‘Til this day she still had problems dealing with it. Because of it she has a huge sense of protection towards children.
All her problems eventually came to a head when she experienced her first full moon. It left her family in turmoil. She abandoned them for weeks, running from what she had become. She only returned when she thought things were safe. And she was completely relieved to find that, although her family was frightened, they wanted her to stay around. They didn’t want to lose their daughter again.
As an adult, she has managed to get a fair amount of control on her shifting, gone through medical school, and was training to be a doctor in New Orleans. Unbeknownst to her she became friends with the local clan and tried to help them, which ended with her losing her job. The good news was that after losing her job she was offered a position with the Shadow Team.
Along the way she met a great man, one that she adores and would do anything for. He has become her pillar of strength, and she feels very protective of him. After she joined the Shadow Team Lucien began to train Mercy in defensive and combat ways.
After some time everyone moved out to Hollywood, which was the whole team. It only seemed right that Lucien and Mercy follow.
RP Sample:
Mercedes kept her head down, hiding the apparent blush on her face for blurting out how nice James eyes were. She really did seem to spew from her mouth without thinking. Her mother had told her that many of times, but she never agreed to it. Now that she thought about it, yeah…she really did say what was on her mind. She wasn’t sure that was really such a good thing. “You’re welcome,” she blurted out, unsure what to say, other than that.
Lifting her head, she smiled. “Thank you,” she spoke quietly. She knew exactly what he spoke of with the old male doctor types. She had worked with quite a few of them over the last year. “I took it as a compliment,” she told him. Her eyes followed his to see James brother-in-law peeking out at them. She couldn’t suppress the smile when she saw it. Of course, it did have her thinking. “You’re single, right? Not married or soon to be mated?” She did not want to start liking someone that was. After she asked the question she realized she was just speaking her mind again.
“Oh, you aren’t? Where are you from?” She tilt her head as she asked. Her lips lifted in a serene smile as he mentioned that their moving up here was a good thing. “I have to agree with you. To think, I almost didn’t follow them up. I could have really been missing out on meeting you. That truly would have been a crime.” She bit her bottom lip then glanced away, not wanting to throw off to many ‘I want you’ vibes, which was hard with the topic of discussion where it currently was at.
She nodded slowly. “I like small towns better. They are more isolated, less crime. I just hate farther drives, but I’ll get used to it.” Her eyes shifted off to the side for a moment. “Are there a lot of rogues here?” She wondered out loud, recalling the shifter that put her into this role as a wolf.
Her words and thoughts were shut out by that damn spider. It scared the living daylights out of her. For some reason spiders had haunted her since she was a child. And she will swear up and down they are out to get her. They are notorious for popping up in her line of vision, just like this little bugger did. She always wondered if she set off some sort of vibe. It was like people that didn’t like cats. The cats always seemed to gravitate towards them. It was something she never understood.
Her hands continued to brush through her hair, even as James stepped in to squish the spider under his boot she still felt like something was there. She shuddered all over, but calmed as his hands came down on her arms to calm her with a soothing touch. Before she realized it, she was up in his personal space, pressed up against him while still brushing a hand over her hair. "Make sure there’s no more,” she spoke with a little fright in her voice. “Please,” she said a little more urgently that time, “Before I have to quickly depart just to shower.”
After she realized how close she was to him, she froze as his breath tickled her hair. She slowly lifted her gaze and peered into his eyes. “You’re offering me a job? Even after looking like an idiot and flailing around like a wimp because of a tiny spider?” A lot of men liked their women to be strong, not that she wasn’t, but when it came to spiders…she felt like a total scaredy cat. “I would really like that.” She hadn’t even realized that being so close to him had her completely forget about the spider or possible spiders on her. “Are you this nice to all the pretty women that enter your garage?” She asked teasingly.
