Name: Angelina Ross
Race: Dhampir
Age: 21
Ward: N/A
Description:

Personality:
Passionate, stubborn, relatively outgoing, serious about her duties, and highly protective of those she cares about. She can be sarcastic and tends to tease her friends but she has a big heart. She has absolutely zero tolerance for bullies and unlike most Moroi and Dhampir students she doesn't condemn the Dhampirs who live in the communes as she came from one herself. She is more like one of the guys than a girly girl, enjoying sports and fighting over shopping and gossip.
History:
Angelina was born in a Dhampir commune and she learned early how hard life could be. Her mother struggled to support her and her two younger sisters in a world that sees her only as a 'blood whore' despite the fact that all her children, aside from Anna, are from one Moroi male... Anna's mother won't talk to her about her father and so Anna has no idea who he is. In the commune Angelina got to see first hand how badly Moroi men who came there treated Dhampir women but despite that, when she heard of the training compensation law being passed she immediately signed up for Academy in order to help support her family the best way she could. Despite Anna's disdain toward most Moroi Royals and her wary attitude around most Moroi males Anna sets it aside and takes her training very seriously... The better and more professional you are the more likely you are to get a royal ward and the more important the Moroi you are assigned to the more money you make once you become a Guardian. Money, to Anna, means a way to help provide for and take care of her family and family is everything...

After her graduation and her exceptional performance in the final tests, Anna made it into the ranks of the Elites alongside her boyfriend Gunner Marks. Despite their relationship being somewhat taboo in the Dhampir/Moroi world they'd decided to give it a go anyway. Now, as part of the Elites, they have been sent back to St. Vladamir's Academy to serve as Guardians over the school. For Anna, she couldn't be happier with the outcome as another of her good friends works as a teacher for the Moroi students who wield the ability of Spirit and was accompanied by his Dhampir love who Anna is also friendly with. This is promising to be a good year.

Name: Sebastian Lazar
Race: Moroi
Element: Spirit
Age: 22
Guardian: Serena
Abilities:
Seeing auras (which he can't help), brushing people's minds with his own also accidentally (which enables him to hear their thoughts), compulsion (which he also doesn't use on purpose but even when he's not using it people tend to be drawn to him), and healing others (which he almost NEVER EVER does because of the heavy toll it takes on him).
Description:

Personality:
Sarcastic, stubborn, and a trouble maker known for pushing the rules. Sebastian believes Moroi should learn to protect themselves instead of having to rely on others, disliking the idea of someone else putting their life of the line to protect his. He at first refused a Guardian until his parents forced it upon him... and now he has committed another sin against them... falling in love with his Dhampir Guardian. Sebastian suffers from the moodiness and depression commonly found in most Spirit Users but the help of his Shadow-Kissed Guardian, not to mention her love, keeps him from the edge of that darkness. Since his time with Serena Seb has softened up and settled down greatly, much to the relief of his friends Anna Ross and Gunner Marks who constantly worry over him.

History:
Sebastian has always been a bit of a disappointment to his parents. He has always been a rule breaker and has a severe dislike for courtly duties and politics, tending to do anything he can to stay away from such things. His other siblings are the golden kids, doing exactly what's expected of them but as the eldest of his line he is the Prince and so his parents tend to try to push him into things... Because of his parent's constant disapproval, even when he tries to get things right, and their constant comparison to his deceased elder brother Sebastian tends to go out of his way to irritate and embarrass his parents... giving them a real reason to be disappointed. His inability to declare a magic, which exposed him as a Spirit User, is among his latest failures which his father gives him hell about constantly... as if he could have chosen otherwise. Sebastian doesn't talk about it but Spirit scares him, he can tell when the spells of madness hit even when he just slips a little... saying strange things or feeling the paranoia or the irrational agitation... This is also another big reason that, until Serena, he had been afraid he might hurt someone.

In his final year at the Academy as a student Seb met Serena and she helped him get over the wounds of the past and to get over worrying about what his parents... much less anyone else thought of him and his relationship with her. Seb is very much in love with Serena and despite her shady past he trusts her with his life and knows she feels the same with him... especially since he's so protective. Seb took on the job of teaching other Spirit Wielders at Serena's suggestion and the fact that Anna and Gunner have been set to guard the Academy is an added bonus that brings he and his friends back together again.

Name: Serena Abatangelo
Gender: Female
Race: Dhampir
Age: 21
Ward: Sebastian Lazar
Description:
5'2, has multiple scars on her neck.
Personality: Serena is quiet and tends to keep more to herself. This is mainly due to fear of people figuring out what Moroi men did and what she allowed them to do her. She is shaky and tends to be a little jumpy, although, some of this might very well be from the withdrawal that she is now going through.
Background: Born and raised in a Dhampir commune, Serena had a... difficult childhood. Her mother was young when she had her, Serena was clearly a mistake. Her mother was a blood whore, through and through, and Serena could never really get over that. Although, that could have been due to the fact that from a young age her mother allowed her Moroi father to drink from her. Well, maybe she didn't let him but she surely didn't stop him either. Nor did she stop anyone else. Realizing her own addiction and seeing the women around her, who had practically come dependent one the endorphins from Moroi bites, Serena decided it was time to leave.

Although, she attended a school not far from the commune year round, Serena applied to St. Vladimir's. She felt as though this was the one way to escape the only future she saw for herself. She still bares the scars from her years at the commune and hides them under her long brown hair. Now, she intends to keep her secret while training to be a guardian as an escape... For now.

Serena's final year of school was a bit strange, including running away from home in Italy, making new friends, dying, being brought back from death by her spirit wielding Moroi boyfriend, being confronted by her father, going manic addict on her friends, and actually managing to graduate as one of the top of her class. Despite offers, Serena decided to stay with Sebastian, which wasn't a hard decision to make. Their life over the last few years had been good. Serena was less antsy about her past, even managed to take down a few Strigoi without dying. Although, sometimes it was hard to tell who the Guardian was, with how protective Sebastian got. Ultimately, he had been the best thing to happen to her.

For Dhampirs...
Name: Gunner Marks
Gender: Male
Race: Dhampir
Age: 22
Ward: N/A
Description:
Personality: Calm, cool, collected. Doesn't really know how to have fun. He's very wrapped up in the duties of being a guardian.
Background: Gunner mother was turned Strigoi when he was very young. Had it not been for his uncle, a guardian, it was highly likely that Gunner would be dead. Due to this, he takes his job very seriously. He doesn't see glory in killing Strigoi like some of his classmates do. Although he wishes to protect Moroi from the fearsome beasts of the night, he is tormented by the images of his mother. His uncle had been unable to kill her and in the end, she ran off with him. All Gunner knows is that she is still alive.

After graduation, Gunner managed to make it into the Elites, something he had been striving for since months previous. This was the best possible outcome for him and his girlfriend. The one way the two of them were able to stick together as well as remain Guardians. Of course, he wasn't exactly thrilled to hear that their assignment was the school that he had been basically trapped at for the last ten years but he figured that was an small price to pay. Not to mention, an old friend and his guardian/girlfriend would be taking up positions at the campus made everything seem perfect. As though nothing could go wrong.
