[hider=Adalaide de la Roche]Name: Adalaide de la Roche Apparent Age(only valid if vampire/werewolf/hybrid): 23 Actual Age: 783 years old Gender: Female Height: 5'1 Weight: 110 Appearance(Anime pictures preferred, realistic or textual descriptions equally accepted): Adalaide is a dark haired brunette with sky blue eyes. She has doe eyes, and a tiny nose. Her lips are full, and she has a long neck, and a dancers build despite being so tiny. Bio: Adalaide was born in 13th century France, to a French Duke. The de la Roche family was an influential family in France for most of the medieval era, despite the family being small and the faces never seeming to change. They claimed it was a god given gift, that their generations looked so much like the previous ones. Later, as people realized there was no way this excuse would keep on and they scattered, went into hiding all over the world. They would come back together every now and again. Adalaide herself moved east, to the Holy Roman Empire, becoming one of the most acclaimed scholars, although her work was given to a friend to present since she was both a female and a vampire and neither one would go over well with the papel congress. After that she went up to Russia, found herself in favor with the Russian Monarchy, although she and her brother were both run out when her brother decided to sleep with the Tsar's youngest daughter. After that she made her way south, to Tibet. She spent several hundred years with monks, they didn't ask questions and she was careful not to kill, and she used her particular gifts to help where she could. Eventually China invaded and she made her way even farther east. She ended up in Hawaii for a couple months before making her way to the mainland. It was there she reunited with most of her family. They had been living in New York for a century or so at that point and so she decided to rejoin them. Her family owns a PR firm whose clients are of both the natural and the supernatural persuasion. She takes on a great deal of the negotiations due to her particular talents. Personality: Adalaide is cunning and manipulative. She has many faces, all to ensnare her chosen victims. She knows it's better honey then vinegar when it comes to this sort of stuff, so she often tries to keep a sweet and innocent facade but she wouldn't hesitate to stab you in the back. Powers(Again, keep it realistic or you will be denied): Compulsion: She can make, mortals mostly, bend to her will. Even some supernaturals will feel oddly entranced by her when she speaks, though not nearly to the extent of mortals. Speed, Agility, Durability, Stamina: She's not much faster than the average vampire, despite her age, but she's extremely agile. If she has to fight, which she tries to talk her way out, there are very few people who have landed a punch on her and fewer that live to tell the tale. [/hider]
