HAVEN GO'S COLLEGE DAYS!
(◍•ᴗ•◍)♡ mini mint always carrying some sort of peppermint candy in her pocket and having a rather short stature, it was her older brother, grayson and her best friend, theodore who started calling her this ever since high school. her brother said that it was very cute that she was pocket-sized ("mini mint, almighty haven" "i swear, grayson, if you lift me up again, i'm going to tell mom!"). theodore, also a student at UCSF, wouldn't stop calling her this until this very moment and everyone caught up to the nickname ("hey, mini mint, wanna hear something juicy?" "tell me, theo, please, pretty please!")
(◍•ᴗ•◍)♡ haven? hi-vin? hay-veen? "first of all, it's haven, pronounced hei-vin. almost like heaven but not really it." to her parents, haven was a child they conceived after a miscarriage two years before. her mother whispered when she first held haven, "you're safe, baby, mommy's got you, you're safe with me." that's when her father got the brilliant idea. haven, a safe place, a place of shelter or refuge.
all facts and images of grayson go aside, becoming acquainted with her is fairly easy— she is approachable and has a rather welcoming aura to her. although she is often with her small circle, she doesn’t hesitate to talk to people who seem approachable too. she can hold up a conversation about anything and has this adaptability to her in any given situation. when you see her smile and laugh while joking around, you’d wish immediately you could have that positivity of hers. haven is the type of girl who you’d cast for the bubbly and fan-favorite little sister.
as anyone can tell from her attitude on a day-to-day basis, haven is full of energy and cheerfulness. think of her as a happy virus. she has the enthusiasm and inner ability to always see the good side of a situation. she tries to suppress any negativity to make sure she stays happy on the outside. she does this because she knows she is filled with a lot of emotions. she’s overflowing with emotion and she always takes action with a great amount of sincerity. she’s the type of person who keeps it genuine and honest that you could never accuse her of faking it and she’s not afraid to maintain her level of energy, even with the possible risks of burning out.
for many around her, her willingness to take risks or try out new things is very admirable. she’s a thrill-seeker in that way, the idea of something unconquered excites her. she loves to dive in first into anything that seems unfamiliar or try the unusual. she would do it for the writing and for the sense of achievement that she conquered new territory. that’s what keeps her motivated to explore her imaginations.
at the end of the day, she uses her analytical skills to look back at her activities and her feelings as she sums up all the thoughts that come up in her mind. she pays attention to a lot of details whenever she’s doing something and with her critical thinking, she can use such details to form a conclusion for inspiration. she does this often in crowded areas, whether it’s people watching or getting into the action.
she scans her feelings and rewinds the memories to capture the details, the ‘unthinkable’ of a situation. she loves to analyze and give meaning to all the little details. it’s amazing how much she can process out of a party or a day out with her friends. she’s heavily influenced by ambiance and moods and it shows mostly in her writing. she thinks of her writings as a form of expression towards her emotions.
when you really get to know her, haven is often very distracted at classes, either doodling or mind mapping or compiling her thoughts. the girl has her head in the clouds most of the time as her head is preoccupied with her stuff. sometimes, if she were in philosophy class, she’d still have her mind wrapped up about an essay or an assignment for her english classes. haven sometimes can’t get a grip on her thoughts and it does hinder her focus, proven by the many examples given by her friends.
she snaps at herself when her emotions boil over and feels like she’s going too slow. she never really snaps because of or at others, though it may seem like it when she bursts. it’s because she’s not capable of understanding her own speed in getting the work and it sometimes shows in the way she can’t handle the fifteen minute discussion between theo or grayson of what they want to do or what they want to eat. she can’t stand the suspense that comes with deciding and usually goes with her gut feeling or her mood on the day to day.
even with her usual outer attitude, haven is rather careful in expressing her inner feelings. she values deep emotional connections and makes sure to take it step by step when expressing her emotions so that it doesn’t overwhelm others. she closely guards her inner self and has her ways of testing her connections with others. once she feels comfortable on a deeper level, she’ll slowly pour them out.
haven used to dream of being a ballerina and took ballet lessons since she was six until she was twelve. she twisted her ankle really badly during a recital in front of the audience and stepped down from ballet completely after that. even if she was twelve at the time, she started to write her thoughts in a rather disorganized fashion inside a diary her mom bought her. it was a way for her to make her relieve her sadness of quitting and over time, she got better at organizing how she wrote her feelings. she even learned how to mindmap her thoughts properly. her mom would cry sometimes when she 'accidentally' flips over the diary and sees how raw and real haven's feelings were. ever since then, haven has never stopped writing and mindmapping to relieve her thoughts.

juno was the first person haven made friends with at UCSF when the two became freshman year roomates. juno was just the type of person haven admires. chic, laidback and just really cool. haven tagged along whenever juno went and you could say, juno took her in as her wingwoman.
she was introduced to all the college parties and mixers and even taught her which drinks were best at certain parties. their friendship deepened after haven having to take care of a drunken juno. their first real conversation was after haven held juno's hair in the bathroom at two in the morning. to juno, that was the deal sealed. she loves haven to death (and even calls her "bestie" or cutie" sometimes!) even if her soulless expressions may say otherwise and will do anything to make sure anybody lays a finger on her.
entering senior year, juno asked haven if she wanted to room again with her since her previous roommate moved out and just as the timing was right, haven agreed eagerly to juno's question.
perhaps, leo has caught on to the fact that haven is juno's weakness as well as only true friend that she made by herself and makes it a habit or a plot point every single video or whenever they hang out. this, in result, causes leo to receive more than two smacks on his head from juno.

since then, haven was naturally roped into being a part of the crew through juno (a rare occasion thus leo makes an effort to make haven stay in the crew). leo is very welcoming and nice so haven didn't really feel awkward at all with him.
leo appreciates that haven would at least react or try to respond to whatever humor he has. actually, other people in the crew may have noticed that leo is very fond of haven and loves to like one would do to a little sister (juno thinks it's sus, though) but then again, the group does collectively fond over haven a lot.
