LAINE MIKA | 27 | ART PROFESSOR | ------------------------------------------------- WELCOME, TAKE A SEAT. START OFF WITH YOUR NAME, HOW OLD ARE YOU? Nope, I'm not lying up there. That's my real age. Twenty-seven years young, and I don't look a day over twenty. Considering that I've got a seven year old kid, to boot, I'm doing a damn good job, aren't I? Anyways, my name is Mika Andromeda Laine, though many of my friends just call me Rome. Funny, considering I'm not even anywhere close to being Italian, but whatever. I'm a professor here at King Protea -- I can hear all those students lamenting. "Oh god," they moan, "not only is she a tatted milf, but she's a professor too? How am I to focus on my studies?" -- and I feel for them, I really do. I'm the new art prof here, though I also do some tattooing on the side. Yeah, eat your heart out kiddies. ------------------------------------------------- AWESOME. ARE YOU A LOCAL? I can understand why you'd think that, dear. I mean, Laine is a pretty normal last name, and although Mika is a bit of a weird name, it isn't all that different. Though, I am a touch surprised. I mean, I've only been away from my country for ten years or so, I haven't lost that much of my accent. Nah, I'm from Helsinki, the capital of Finland. I hear I'm not the only Finn here. Finland, if you don't know, is part of the Nordic countries. Not technically a Scandinavian -- that would be Norway, Denmark and Sweden -- and not one of the Baltic States -- Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are lovely this time of year -- but part of that general area. I believe Iceland is also one of the Nordic states, but I may be wrong. I lived there until I was sixteen, seventeen. I took an exchange trip to Sydney, Australia, and returned to live a final year in Helsinki before moving out to Hollywood. But more on that later. ------------------------------------------------- NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED. GOT A BIG FAMILY? I'M AN ONLY CHILD. Well, I wouldn't really say I have a big family, but I do have one. My mother was named Mikaela -- that's where my name Mika comes from -- and my father was Jussi. I had a younger sister named Satu and an older one named Kielo. It was a little idyllic and boring for me, to be honest. They never really understood me. My father was in business, my mother taught math at the school, but I was an artist. I'd been drawing ever since I was a kid, and couldn't think of doing anything else. They didn't really respect me and my dreams, and all we did was fight, so that's why I try to encourage my daughter to achieve her dreams. Her name is Tatiana Iris Laine, but I call her Tahti. It means star in Finnish. She's my everything, a beautiful baby girl, and I only wish her conception could have been a happy one. But I suppose that's why I call her my star, my Tahti. She's the bright light that lights the night. ------------------------------------------------- GO FIGURE. DO YOU THINK YOUR FAMILY SHAPE WHO YOU ARE AS A PERSON? Oh, I thought I just went over this. Yeah, I guess my family shaped me. We didn't really get along when I was young, but they taught me how not to parent my daughter. I guess you could say I'm a bit out there. I'm not all that mature for an adult, I mean. I like to party -- drink, have sex, smoke, maybe get high now and then -- but I'll never put my own personal satisfaction before my child or my job. They mean too much to me. However, it does make me one of the favourite professors in this college. Mostly because I don't judge, and I'm a damned good prof, and I'm definitely sexy. Oh come on, don't pretend like you weren't looking. I'm fucking hot. Don't worry, I won't tell on you. I can make any girl go full les with a lick of my lips and a swerve of my hips, it isn't just you. ------------------------------------------------- THATS DEEP, MAN. YOU SEEM PRETTY INTERESTING, YOU MUST HAVE AN INTERESTING BACK STORY, HM? *snort* deep, huh? I guess we're going to ignore all of what that was? Okay, you want history? Here it goes, I guess. I was born in Helsinki, Finland, June 13th 1987. I was the middle child in my family, living in a perfect little house in a perfect little neighbourhood. Needless to say, I couldn't handle it at all. The only time I was acting innocently was when I was in my room, painting and drawing. I was only twelve when I started sneaking out of the house, going to hook up with friends to either chill or, you know, hook up. I don't even remember who I lost my virginity to, to be blunt. I didn't have boyfriends, I had conquests. I made it a game to see how many boys I could date at once without the others finding out, and how long I could last. My record was four boys, three and a half months. I would go out and vandalize things, get pierced, get drunk, and sometimes get tatted. Most of my teenaged tats are covered now, very few of them were any good. Sometimes, I would learn different languages, just so that I could vandalize shit and say things that no one would even understand. It's kind of funny. I kind of feel sorry for my parents now, to be honest. Which I always am. Honest, I mean. I find no reason to lie to someone -- if you're a piece of shit, I'm going to tell you. I can't tell you how many times I've almost lost, or have lost, jobs for that one. Now, I just say it in another language and hope for the best. Anyways, I feel bad for my parents now, because clearly they had no idea how to handle this trouble child. I've spent a few nights in the slammer, let me tell you, but I'm proud of my past. It's all a part of me. When I was sixteen or seventeen, I went away on a year long exchange to Sydney, Australia. It was the greatest time of my life, but boy was the temperature a shocker. It was not only the first year that I'd had a green Christmas, but also the first time I'd ever had a Christmas that was 27 degrees. Wow. I learned a lot in Australia, had a lot of fun, made a lot of friends, nearly died seventy-million times from the spiders and the dingos and the wombats and the cannibals -- okay, that third one is a lie. Have you ever seen a wombat? They are the cutest things on this planet. They're like mini koala beavers! I digress. At the end of the year, I was really upset to return back to my normal, boring, Finnish life, so I finished up my final year in high school, packed up my things and flew out to Hollywood, California. Yeah, a word for the wise? If you're planning on moving somewhere, learn a little bit about the place. Maybe get a guide. At least make sure you have somewhere to stay. On the bright side, I slept under and above the stars on the Hollywood walk of shame -- I mean, fame. To get myself off my feet, I took up some modelling, walked in a few shows, even did a few commercials and magazine shoots. It was a lot of fun and was enough to keep me going for a while. Still, don't trust everyone you meet. And if a guy tells you he's a producer and he's going to make you a star, and then takes you to a back alley, for the love of god DON'T FOLLOW HIM. Yeah. I wish someone had told me that one. Nine months after that disaster, my daughter Tatiana was born. I struggled for quite a while with post-partum depression, I won't lie. In fact, I was a wreck for a good year, but eventually I decided that I wasn't going to be a damned victim any longer and picked myself back up off my feet. Lucky for me, he was an idiot and told me his name. I pressed for charges and, despite his lawyer's best attempts, one lump sum of 155,000 USD was paid to a miss Mika Andromeda Laine, thank you very much. With that money, I got myself into college and got my degree in art and art history. I worked as a teacher on call for a few years in local high schools. I managed to get a good job at another college in San Francisco, but was laid off a year later. Luckily for me, I was only unemployed for half a year before this spot here opened up, and I immediately jumped on the chance. ------------------------------------------------- MAYBE I SHOULDN'T HAVE ASKED. ANYWAY, THATS IT. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. Oh wow, thanks for that. Guess the sexiness got too much for you to handle, huh? Well, whatever, I'll see ya round. ------------------------------------------------- THE PERSON BEHIND THIS WONDERFUL CHARACTER IS GENERALLY CALLED LUNA AND SITS AT SEVENTEEN. SHE LIVES IN THE PACIFIC TIMEZONE. ALSO, THIS CHARACTER LOOKS PRETTY SIMILAR TO SARA FABEL, DON'T YOU THINK? |
