Minerva exudes a fiery and passionate temperament. She is guarded and unyielding, and has created an impenetrable facade around her emotions, heart, and intellect. Known for her honesty and straightforwardness, Minerva fearlessly voices her opinions. She openly expresses affection for certain individuals, notably her family, while maintaining a distant stance towards those she disapproves of. However, as one delves deeper into Minerva's complexities, you uncovers the truth—Minerva experiences emotions with an exceptional intensity, prompting her to construct a shield safeguarding her vulnerable heart from the tumultuous currents of sentiment.

She earns the moniker of a queen without a throne from those around her, characterized by a stoic, poised, and regal demeanor, coupled with a touch of judgmental scrutiny. In moments of confrontation, Minerva stands her ground resolutely, displaying a remarkable resilience. What sets her apart is her ability to command respect without resorting to violence or leveraging power, as she effortlessly exudes an intimidating presence that ensures she is taken seriously by those who encounter her.

As the youngest among this branch of Ylindar siblings, Minerva swiftly succumbed to the influence of her father, whose paramount value lay in societal status, relegating emotions to a secondary role. This emphasis on status greatly contributed to Minerva's reluctance to openly acknowledge her feelings. She often rejects any well-intentioned assistance offered by friends. The complex interplay of familial expectations and personal resilience shaped Minerva's emotional landscape, creating a person burdened by the weight of her family's name and the societal standing.
