yeah, who are you? yeah, who are you?
history:Mercy was born and raised in Devil's Hollow. She never knew anything other than wealth, but that didn't mean she was spoiled or bratty. If anything, she was the complete opposite. She was just like her mother in every way.
Mercy's mother was born to a very, very poor family, but she had been such a beautiful girl. Her mother died when she was young and her father was a drunk. Evelyn had everything going against her... everything except her unnatural beauty and her tender heart. When her father abandoned her, she was sent to live with a wealthy aunt who was strict... very strict, constantly telling her that her mother should have never married that scum of a man. She was thirteen years old at the time and sent to boarding school after boarding school, kicked out of each one because she was too free spirited or not suitable. She couldn't possibly be a lady...
But in the eyes of Christopher Scarborough she was. Christopher was born and raised in an orphanage, but this never stopped him. When he was old enough, he left the orphanage and started up work, slowly climbing up the ladder. He was a success and for all of his hard work, he deserved this success, especially after everything he had been forced to go through. He fell in love the instant he laid eyes on Evelyn Scarborough one night at a fair. She was perfect.
That was how Mercy came into being. She is the second born child of Christopher and Evelyn Scarborough. Her older brother John always looked out for her, but it was tough to look out for someone whose only desire was to be free. She was sent to St. Augustine's School for Girls and made a number of close friends there, desiring to be free, just like her.K E E P Y O U I N T H E D A R K

you know they all pretend.
experience: 5 Years
rp sample:It was late at night as Mercy wound her way through the forest. She shuldn't have beeen out of the castle at such a time, especially without a guard. And she most certainly should not have been swiiming naked within the Valora Forest. Normally it was dangerous to be within the forest at such a time, but never when you were by the lake. From humans perhaps, but the animals would not bother you. It was just one of the many mysteries of the lake. Everything was always so... peaceful.
Peace was one thing that often drew Mercy to the lake. But there was also something else that drew her in. She felt at home there. Perhaps it was due to the fact that the lake was rumored to have healing powers and Mercy just so happened to be a healer. Whatever the reason was though, Mercy didn't care. She was so at peace with herself there that the reason didn't matter.
For some reason, the lake was always more calm and peaceful to Mercy at night. There had only been a handful of times she had had a chance to witness the moon shining off the surface of the water though as it was never an easy feat sneaking past Cardea's guards.
Tonight she had been successful though. Having snuck past the guards and through the forest to the lake, Mercy was now standing by the edge of the water, her clothes by her feet. She stared at the water for a moment, the sight still mesmerizing her. The lake had always had a glow to it and you could just feel the power from it. The glow was almost a beautiful purple color, rising off the water.
Mercy stretched her arms above her head and took a deep breath, her brown curls cascading down her bare back and shoulders just before she dove right into the lake, going deeper and deeper until she felt as though her lungs would burst. The water felt cool, but not cold, and it had an almost tingly and yet smooth feeling to it, energy seeming to swirl within it.
As Mercy came back to the surface, she pushed her wet hair from her face, feeling perfectly content. She sighed and looked up above at the moonlight streaming through the tree tops. She swam out a little farther, feeling free for once and as if she actually had control. She didn't expect to see anyone out there so deep in the forest, so she was perfectly at ease.
