Characters in Minneapolis, somewhat flexible (6)
I believe the answer is:
lissom
'flexible' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'characters in minneapolis somewhat' is the wordplay.
'characters in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'LISSOM' is hidden in the letters of 'minneapolis somewhat'.
(Other definitions for lissom that I've seen before include "'Lithe, supple (6)'" , "Lithe, nimble" , "Supple or agile" , "Lithe and flexible" , "Agile and lithe" .)
