"We're all just stones in the ocean.
Eventually, we'll get worn away to nothing, won't we?"

Alias: "Mei Enoshima" (Author Pen Name), Enoshima-san, Mei-chan, Crybaby (by her brothers)
Date of Birth: June 30th, 2005
Age: 18
Primary Gender: Female
Secondary Gender: Recessive Omega

Sexuality: Demisexual
Race: ¾ American & ¼ Dutch
Species: ¾ Human & ¼ Usagimimi (recessive gene)

Powers/Abilities:
Enhanced Speed - While Morgan may not outwardly resemble the typical Usagimimi with rabbit ears and a fluffy tail, her physical prowess hints at a hidden connection to the rabbit lineage. Her legs, while seemingly ordinary, possess an uncanny speed and agility that surpasses the average human. With a swiftness that often leaves others in her wake when out and about in her everyday life. Her leaps, too, are impressive, defying gravity with a grace bordering on the supernatural. However, her human physicality serves as a reminder of her limitations. Her speed and agility might be remarkable, but pushing her body too far can lead to exhaustion and even injury. This delicate balance between her extraordinary abilities and human limitations underscores the unique and fascinating nature of Morgan's connection to the Usagimimi lineage.
Enhanced Strength - However, she does possess inherent abilities, specifically remarkable strength focused in her legs. Her kicks are powerful enough to knock the wind out of someone. This strength, along with her enhanced speed, is translated into kicks that could leave lasting visible bruises on anyone. Morgan tends to avoid confrontation altogether, but it serves more as a defense mechanism against unwanted physical contact. Driven by her anxiety, she reacts on instinct to anyone attempting to touch her improperly by giving them a swift kick, sending her offender flying before bolding away to escape from the situation. Morgan is clearly not a fighter but given that she is an Omega with infrequent Heats that could happen at any time is another factor that plays into this as well.
Enhanced Hearing - Her hearing is enhanced due to being half Usagimimi. This is considered a blessing and a curse for her. Her hearing may be exceptional, but her auditory senses are hyper-sensitive, allowing her to pick up sounds from distances that would leave most humans baffled. Every rustle of leaves, every whispered conversation, every distant siren wail – all are amplified and transmitted directly to her brain. This, however, is a double-edged sword. While it grants her an awareness of her surroundings that borders on precognition, it also makes her intensely vulnerable to the cacophony of everyday life. All of it can overwhelm her senses, sending a tidal wave of noise crashing over her. The constant bombardment of sound triggers a cascade of anxiety, making her heart race, her breath quicken, and her vision blur. The fear of an emotional breakdown, a paralyzing panic that would leave her helpless, forces her to retreat from such environments, seeking out the solace of quietude, a sanctuary where the world's sounds are muted to a manageable hum. It shows that Morgan can only be around such noisy activity for so long before needed to get away from it all.
Personality: Morgan, a young woman of captivating complexity, is a published author who lives a solitary life under the pseudonym "Mei Enoshima". Her hobbies paint a vibrant tapestry of her inner world: she wields a pen with the finesse of a seasoned novelist, capturing the depths of human emotion on paper; she dances with colors on a canvas, transforming her thoughts into breathtaking works of art; she immerses herself in the digital realm, vanquishing virtual foes with the speed and agility of a seasoned gamer; and she escapes into the ethereal worlds of anime and manga, finding solace and inspiration in their fantastical tales.
Beneath Morgan's unassuming exterior lies a profound secret: she is a half-Usagimimi, with the blood of rabbits coursing through her veins. However, unlike her family members who proudly display their physical attributes—the telltale ears and tail—Morgan's Usagimimi heritage manifests itself only in her enhanced speed and acute hearing. This genetic anomaly has rendered her an outcast within her own family, who view her as a lesser being unworthy of their affection. It doesn't help that Morgan presented as a Recessive Omega with an infrequent Heat that could happen at any given moment, and it's also something her family puts her down for. Morgan's heart aches with a longing for acceptance, but the cruel words and neglect she has endured have instilled within her a deep sense of self-doubt and a belief that she is truly worthless.
Despite her pain, Morgan finds solace in her solitude and artistic pursuits. Through her writing, she voices her unspoken thoughts and emotions, finding catharsis in the outpouring of her soul onto the page. She wants to create more stories that everyone can find a sense of enjoyment out of it. She also paints and transforms her inner turmoil into vibrant expressions of color in her art. Morgan even enjoys video games, anime, and manga, and she finds a sense of belonging that eludes her in the real world. Morgan's resilience and determination shine through her every endeavor as she strives to overcome the challenges she faces and forge a path of her own.

She tends to wear brown suede shoes, and her attire is business casual when she has to meet with her editor/publisher, but normally, she'll wear either flats or sneakers.

History: Morgan's arrival into the world was a testament to the enduring love of her parents, James Townsend, a proud American Usagimimi, and Cordelia Townsend, a warmhearted Dutch Usagimimi. Their family, already a bustling hive of activity with six boisterous sons, welcomed Morgan with open arms, though her arrival came with a touch of trepidation. Born three months premature and alarmingly underweight, her survival was a constant worry. Every breath she took was a victory, every milestone a cause for celebration. Despite the initial anxieties, the tiny bundle of hope clung to life, her small form defying the odds. Finally, after weeks of anxious waiting, she was deemed strong enough to return home to the loving embrace of her family. Their large Chicago home, filled with the laughter and energy of her six older brothers, became a haven for Morgan, a place where she was surrounded by the warmth and support of her parents, her maternal grandfather, and her siblings. Though the youngest, she was cherished, her arrival completing the tapestry of their family, woven with threads of love, resilience, and the unwavering bond of their Usagimimi heritage.
Morgan, the youngest of the family and the only girl, basked in the warm glow of her parents' and grandfather's attention. Her older brothers, however, viewed this affection with a simmering jealousy. They resented the constant stream of loving gestures directed towards their little sister, feeling as if their own needs were being neglected. This resentment would manifest in cruel pranks and verbal abuse in their absence. Morgan, a small and vulnerable figure, became their target. They would shove her around, their laughter echoing as she stumbled and fell. Their cruel words stung like a bee's sting, leaving her feeling small and insignificant. When their parents discovered these acts of bullying, they reprimanded their sons, demanding they cease their cruel behavior. For a time, the brothers would comply, their guilt momentarily overwhelming their jealousy. However, as Morgan continued to grow and thrive, their concern shifted to a different, more bizarre fear. They began to wonder why she hadn't developed the rabbit ears and tail they knew she was destined to inherit. Their curiosity, fueled by both sibling rivalry and a strange, unfounded belief, would eventually lead to a series of events that would forever alter the dynamics of their family.
Morgan's parents, initially bewildered by her lack of Usagimimi features, had rushed her to a doctor. The diagnosis, while surprising, was clear: Morgan, born prematurely, had inherited recessive genes, resulting in her human appearance. Morgan didn't see this as a big deal. After all, she was still their daughter, right? She assumed the love and attention she received wouldn't change. But change it did. The constant fussing, the affectionate cuddles, the endless stream of 'you're so special' - all vanished. Morgan became invisible, her existence relegated to the background as her parents, seemingly relieved by the normalcy, showered their attention back on her brothers. Their verbal affection for her dwindled, replaced by a chilling silence. The once-vibrant family dinners, filled with laughter and chatter, were now dominated by the boisterous antics of her siblings. Morgan felt a growing sense of isolation. Then came the hurtful words, the subtle digs disguised as jokes, the constant reminders of her uselessness. Confused and hurt, Morgan sought solace in the one person who never treated her differently – her grandfather. He, unlike everyone else in the house, embraced her unconditionally, seeing her not as a useless Usagimimi but as his granddaughter, a cherished part of their family. In his gentle embrace, Morgan found a haven, a reminder that even without the rabbit ears and tail, she was loved by someone in her family.
Morgan's relationship with her parents had grown distant, but she found solace in the unwavering love of her grandfather. A Dutch immigrant who had once struggled as a starving artist before finding a new life in America, he carried the passion for art within him, even through hardship. His love for art was infectious, especially for young Morgan. When she was eight, she stumbled upon his paintings in the family basement, captivated by the vibrant colors and emotional depth they conveyed. This marked the beginning of a special bond between them. Countless hours were spent in that basement, watching her grandfather paint. He patiently taught her the basics, guiding her hand as she struggled to translate her imagination onto canvas. Though her artistic talent never blossomed into a natural skill, her grandfather's unwavering encouragement kept her going. He told her that art stemmed from the soul and that the emotions she poured into her paintings were beautiful, regardless of her perception.
At ten, a new desire stirred within Morgan. She yearned to express her feelings through art, to move beyond mere imitation. Her grandfather, ever the wise mentor, suggested she start keeping a journal, a place to record her thoughts and emotions. He envisioned a future where she might write a story, a world she could then bring to life through her paintings. The idea captivated her, igniting a passion to hone her skills and perfect both her writing and painting. This creative escape became a sanctuary, a refuge from the harsh reality of living with her parents and older brothers. They, blinded by their expectations, saw her as an outsider. But in the quiet solitude of her art, Morgan found her voice, a voice that whispered of dreams, of stories waiting to be told, and of a future where she could finally express herself freely.
The world tilted on its axis for fifteen-year-old Morgan when her grandfather, the anchor of her universe, passed away. It was her first encounter with death, a harsh reality that sent her spiraling inward. The basement, once a haven of childhood memories, became her refuge, a cold, damp space where she sought solace. It was in this tumultuous period that Morgan discovered her secondary gender: a Recessive Omega. This meant her Heats would be infrequent, a rarity among Omegas, and she faced the possibility of infertility. Her parents, already disillusioned by her artistic pursuits, offered no comfort or support. They had long ago written her off. Their attention fixated on their sons, each a shining star in their own right, excelling in their chosen fields. Her brothers, fueled by a cruel combination of indifference and jealousy, saw her vulnerability as an opportunity to inflict further pain.
They gleefully destroyed her painstakingly crafted paintings, ripped the pages from her notebooks filled with burgeoning stories, and mocked her mercilessly. 'Nobody will ever want you,' they jeered, 'you're a useless Omega, incapable of producing a child.' Their taunts were like poisoned darts, each one chipping away at her already fragile self-esteem. They spared their grandfather's belongings, but they had no qualms about vandalizing the fruits of their sister's labor, the very things that gave her a sense of purpose and identity. Their scorn seeped into her very being, turning her into a mirror image of their disdain. She began to believe their words, to internalize their hate. The injustice of it all gnawed at her. Why was she being treated so poorly simply because she wasn't a 'full' Usagimimi, a being that fit their narrow definition of 'perfect'? And as the weight of their scorn pressed down on her, Morgan felt herself shrinking, her spirit slowly withering away.
The harsh criticism of her paintings from her brother had been a blow, but it was the lack of empathy and support from her family that truly cut deep. The recent loss of her grandfather, a man who had always nurtured her creativity, compounded the pain. She found solace in writing, pouring her grief and longing for love into stories. His encouraging words, echoing in her memory, became her fuel, urging her to keep creating. A budding interest in anime and manga, shared with her classmates, sparked a new idea. Inspired by their enthusiastic reception of her short stories, she decided to post them online, adopting a Japanese pen name. This anonymity allowed her to share her work freely, finding a community of readers who appreciated her talent. While she was happy to be accepted at school for who she was, regardless of her physical appearance, there were subtle changes happening within her that she couldn't ignore. From a young age, she'd noticed unusual physical attributes that seemed beyond the norm, like exceptional speed and agility.
These traits, while initially dismissed as mere quirks, became increasingly noticeable as she grew older. In high school, a new development emerged – her hearing became abnormally acute. It was a sensory explosion, a constant barrage of sounds that overwhelmed her. The world seemed to be amplified, and the cacophony was unbearable. Her parents and brothers remained indifferent, unwilling to acknowledge or understand her struggles. It was through her own research and exploration that she discovered the connection between her heightened senses and a rare genetic trait – Usagimimi. While for many, this would be a source of wonder and power, for Morgan, it was a curse. The ability to hear everything, even the faintest whispers and the softest rustles, became a source of anxiety and fear. She sought refuge in quiet spaces, desperately trying to escape the overwhelming sensory overload. Fear of a nervous breakdown became a constant companion, a silent shadow haunting her every move.
Morgan's newfound heightened hearing was a constant, unwelcome presence. It was a cacophony of sounds, an overwhelming symphony of whispers and murmurs that threatened to engulf her. She couldn't ignore it, but she couldn't let it control her life either. So, she retreated into her own world, seeking solace in the familiar comfort of her writing. Her writing blossomed as she poured her thoughts and emotions onto the page. Her words became sharper, more poignant, and she began to find her voice. Her English teacher, recognizing the raw talent that flowed from Morgan's pen, suggested she enter a writing contest. It was an unusual opportunity hosted by Kageyama Publishing, a Japanese company that was notoriously reluctant to publish foreign writers. This contest, however, was different. They were seeking new writers, offering the top five contestants a chance to have their work published under their banner, a chance to be recognized, and to share their stories with the world. Intrigued by the possibility, Morgan decided to take the leap.
She submitted her short story, "A Brush and A Tower", a dark fantasy about a wizard and his magical brush, under her online pen name, "Mei Enoshima". She didn't dare to dream of placing in the top five, but her name was among the chosen few when the results were announced. The prize was not only publication but also an all-expenses-paid trip to Japan, a chance to experience a culture she had only ever read about. Excitement warred with fear within her. This was a dream come true, but it also meant leaving behind her family and her life and venturing into an unfamiliar world where she would have to navigate a new language and customs. It was a daunting prospect, but one that held the promise of a new beginning, a chance to discover herself and her writing in a whole new way.
Morgan, having received an extraordinary opportunity to publish her literary creations in the distant land of Japan, was granted a three-day respite to contemplate her decision. The ultimatum was clear: if she declined the invitation or failed to respond within the allotted timeframe, alternative candidates would be selected to fill the coveted spots. Driven by a burning desire to seek her family's approval, Morgan resolved to make one final attempt at eliciting their support. She shared her momentous news, anticipating their unwavering admiration. However, her hopes were met with indifference. While acknowledging her accomplishment, her parents remained apathetic, advising her to pursue whatever path she deemed fit. Her brothers' response was even more disheartening, their laughter mocking her aspirations as mere garbage that the world would ignore.
Undeterred, Morgan stood her ground, asserting that their lack of enthusiasm would not deter her. She declared that if this was the extent of their support, she would sever ties with them upon graduating. True to her word, upon receiving her diploma, Morgan packed her belongings and left her family home without a backward glance. Embracing the allure of the unknown, she eagerly accepted the offer to embark on a literary journey in Japan. As she bid farewell to her former life and boarded the plane, a sense of liberation washed over her. She was ready to embrace her destiny as a writer, leaving behind the suffocating confines of her unsupportive family. The prospect of immersing herself in a new culture and encountering unfamiliar faces filled her with both excitement and anticipation. Determined to make her mark in the world, Morgan was prepared to face the challenges that lay ahead with unwavering resolve.
