**MY CHARACTERS**
- Appearance:
- Name: Samson Rivers
- Age: 17
- Year: 4
- Normal or Supernatural (as in, what are you?): Werewolf. Although he only changes once a month, he has somewhat enhanced senses and abilities, meaning he heals quickly, has better hearing, sigh, and smell. He was bitten by someone in their werewolf form when he was eleven-years-old, and has lived with the curse ever since then. When he first started transforming, he couldn’t remember anything from being in that state. But over the years, he was able to train himself to control himself in werewolf form. He is able to remember most of his full moon nights and can function almost normally as a werewolf. He is still, however, a threat to normal people as a werewolf.
- Personality: Sam would prefer to always be alone. He’s not mean, he’s not antisocial, and he’s not cold-hearted. But he likes to keep his distance from pretty much everyone. Before he first transformed, Sam was an outgoing, friendly, and bubbly boy. But once he was cursed with the life of a werewolf, he began to do all he could to hide himself from the world. Sam is quiet and reserved and makes it a goal to stay away from potential friends or companions. It’s not something he wants to do, but something he feels he has to do to protect himself.
- Bio: He was born to a single mother. Before he even knew his wife was pregnant, Sam’s father abandoned her and their unborn child. Because of this, Sam never knew his dad and he’s honestly never cared too much to find out. His mother is the only family he’s ever needed. He has kept his true identity from everyone, even his mother. This was a hard task to accomplish due to the fact that he grew up in a small and cramped apartment with just his mother. Lucky for him, she would often work such long hours that when she came home, she almost always went straight to bed. Sam would escape to the woods nearby to live out his transformations. When he was 13, he received a formal invitation to the Northwood Academy of Excellence. A personal letter from the dean of the school, Madame Géroux, explained that he could attend on a fully-paid scholarship as long as he could complete his schooling with the correct according to the right academic standards. Although he was incredibly baffled by the letter, Sam didn’t hesitate to snatch the chance to get out of his mom’s hair. If he could go to a nice school that his mother didn’t have to pay for, then she wouldn’t have to work as hard to support them. Since he began attending the school, Sam has somehow kept his werewolf life a secret from everyone. He just has to hang on for one more year.
- How you came to the school: Invitation, full-ride with a special scholarship granted by Madame Géroux.

--------------------------------------------
- Appearance:
- Name: Martha Jacobs
- Age: 15
- Year: 2
- Normal or Supernatural (as in, what are you?): Martha is a clairvoyant. She has the ability to touch an object and feel/see every memory and emotion it has witnessed. The stronger the emotion or memory, the clearer the image. She also has a sort of premonition ability, meaning she can sense death that has occurred or is going to occur. She has been aware of her special “talents” ever since she was a little girl and she still has trouble controlling them.
- Personality: Very straightforward, opinionated, and unafraid. She’s seen a lot of terrible things and is aware of the both the bad and the good things people can do. Normally, Martha is very kind but playful and is mostly friendly. She’s also witty, clever, and intelligent. Lately, because of things that have happened in her personal life, Martha has been somewhat bitter and sarcastic and has strayed from the social aspect of her life.
- Bio: Growing up in a wealthy family, Martha has never had to worry about much. Instead of turning into an unbearable and spoiled brat Martha’s parents always taught her to be humble and remember that not everyone is as lucky as them. Her mother’s parents would often babysit her when she was a child and so her toys were usually the old dolls of her mothers and aunts. As she played with these dolls, she began to see distorted images of a different time and place. Sometimes she would play with her grandmother’s jewelry, look into the mirror, and see glimpses of a completely different person staring back at her. The images and feelings she experienced from these objects scared her at first until she became used to them. As a result, Martha started to experiment with her newly discovered ability and learned quite a lot from it. Old toys, jewelry, buildings, and other miscellaneous objects held stories just waiting to be discovered by her. It was exciting, but it was scary. How would she know when a bad memory was going to present itself to her? Martha would always remember the days before her mother passed away much clearer than the day she actually received the news: a car accident had killed the only woman she had ever called “mom.” She had a constant yearning to check up on her mother every hour, along with a fever that came and went until finally her mother walked out the door and never came back through. Ever since then, Martha has accepted the fact that she is very different and has tried to research whatever sort of phenomena she experiences. Just five years after his wife’s death, Martha’s father remarried. Although she has no real reason to hate her, Martha despises her stepmother and stepbrothers. The main reason she was sent away was because she simply could not get along with her family, and so her father decided it would be best for her to not only get a good education, but giver her space and time to adjust to the idea of living with a new woman in her life. So when the invitation and acceptance letters to Northwood came she had no choice in the matter as her father has already made up his mind.
- How you came to the school: Transfer, year 2.

Name: Ash Mareinos
Appearance first (image):
Ash has an irregular oblong red tinted birthmark just above her left knee. She has a scar on the inside of left arm where she cut it on accident while playing on some farm equipment, and another on her right knee from falling off her bike while learning how to ride. Her ears are pierced.
[Ash](http://images0.chictopia.com/photos/beatupbrogues/9274229773/burnt-orange-felt-boater-vintage-hat-camel-crew-neck-next-jumper_400.jpg)
Age: 15
Year: 2nd year
Normal or Supernatural (as in, what are you?): Supernatural. Ash is the far descendant of water nymphs. She is the first in a very long time to show any promise. Her gifts would be control of water, ability to breath under water, she is far enough removed from the original Nymph in her line that she will not have the control over sexual desires that is common with Nymphs. She is also an excellent singer, and her parents had her classically trained.
Personality: Ash is brilliant, but she doesn't apply herself. At Northwood she does the bare minimum to not get in trouble. She avoids the smaller school work as much as possible, but aces her tests with ease. She has a streak of anger that comes out when questioned about her choices. She's modest and prefers long skirts, since she can't wear pants at school. Though she always has a pair packed in case of need to climb a tree. Ash is tom-boyish and outgoing.
Bio: Ash is descendant from the nymph Pareia and Minos' son Nephalion. She was raised on a ranch in Upstate New York. The ranch had a lake that she spent most of her summers in. As such her skin is tanned deeply (Don't let the photo fool you). Ash doesn't know who her ancestors are. What she knows is she's a really good swimmer and never seems to have to come for air. Her parents take a vacation to the ocean for two weeks every year, there she swims in the ocean and seems unbothered by the tides.
It was during one of these trips to the ocean that one of her older brother was pulled out to sea in a riptide. Ash freaked out and swam to him, she was miraculously able to rescue her brother. He swears that the ocean obeyed her pleas for his safety, and has become very devout about her safety. They exchange letters frequently.
Ash has several other brothers varying in older and younger (there are a total of 6 boys), she's a middle child. Because of all of her brother's she has grown up rather tom-boyish, she's the type to walk a fence or take a dare.
Ash is nervous about the lake after last year's incident, but the draw to swim it much too strong for her to ignore it for long.
How you came to the school (did you transfer or are you a Year 1 student?): She started here her first year.

Name: Amy Snow
Appearance first (image):
[Amy](https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2639/3735862488_f64aa4a60d.jpg)
Age: 15
Year: 2nd
Normal or Supernatural (as in, what are you?): Normal
Personality: Not outgoing, unless it's going to the Library. She holds no resentment over being an orphan, in fact she believes that she's got it made. She has no family history to hold her back. Amy has a drive to prove herself in the classroom. She is easily found in the library. Amy is an extrovert surprisingly, so even though she revels in books Amy needs friendship. She's not daring enough to be part of Ash's group of friends, and it's clear Ash doesn't have much time for someone so stuck in her books.
Bio: Amy is an orphan. She was raised in a Home, capital H and all. All she knows of her family is her name. Other than that she has never cared. She may have been raised in the Home, but she grew up in the library. She lived close enough to DC to take two buses every weekend into the city to go to the Library of Congress, and the Smithsonian. She was, by the time she was ten, considered a permanent fixture in the library.
When she turned 14 one of the librarians put a stack of school applications in front of her. She filled them all out and was accepted to most (only the ones who needed more socialization in her record turned her down). Amy was told by the librarians that she was to apply all of herself to her school work and they'd pay and find scholarships for her. They want her to succeed, and she wants to show them how much she really can do. Her strength is in languages, but she isn't short in sciences or maths.
Amy didn't know the girl last year, but it struck her deep. She won't have anything to do with the lake now.
How you came to the school (did you transfer or are you a Year 1 student?): Came as a 1st year.

**Appearance:**
[Super Large Photo](http://womenmakeover-makeup.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/tumblr-girls-brown-hair-blue-eyes-5434a8a46c3c8.jpg)
**Name:** Elena Waters
**Age:** 16
**Year:** 3
**Normal or Supernatural (as in, what are you?):** Mermaid. Elena easily sprouts fins and gills if any skin below her navel absorbs more than 8oz. of water, roughly one glass of water. Her tail fin consists of bright luminescent blue scalloped scales leading down to a flowing fin of teal and green hues. Her hair, normally reaching around the middle of her back, grows in length to around mid-calf.
**Personality:** Elena can be best described as a contradiction. She has a quiet demeanor about her, being shy whenever she is in a group. However, if someone were to befriend her on their own, she makes fast friends and is fiercely loyal. Because of the simple requirements of her transformation, Elena has a love-hate relationship with H2O. In her mermaid form, Elena feels carefree and as if all was right in the world. However, in her human form, Elena is very cautious of water – not wanting to reveal her secret to just anybody.
**Bio:** Elena is not from around ‘Courts Place’. In fact, Elena cannot quite remember exactly where she is from. When she tries to recall the memory, a searing pain rips through her temples and the only thing she can remember is swimming. Swimming until she left whatever life she had behind her. She arrived in Courts Place at the age of 13, wandering through the streets in ragged clothes she’d found at shore – probably belongings of a skinny dipper who had left them there. On wobbly legs, she entered society and was stopped by a teenager a little older than she who asked her if she was skipping school. She adamantly refused and he then asked if she was on her way to Northwood Academy. To avoid any more prying eyes, she vehemently nodded and followed the boy to the school in silence.
**How you came to the school (did you transfer or are you a Year 1 student? Did you receive and invitation or did you have to apply to the school first? Scholarship or rich parents?):** Had to apply after having been taking in for a year by Miss Cerise Sonata.

3 mos ago
Appearance: Favoring the Gothic style, Zaylin has naturally paler skin and wears elegant, black outfits whenever she can, including a velvet coat when the weather calls for something fairly warm. Her eyes are usually a dark gray, almost black, but they tend to change to lighter grays, or even a mix of shades, often lighter near the pupil and darker at the edges of the iris.
Name: Zaylin Calina Devonshire Nickname: Her friends call her Zay
Age: 16
Year: 3
Supernatural: Dragon-hybrid. She is capable of turning into a sort of hybrid black dragon. She can choose to what degree she transforms (how much dragon to how much human) and has a longer lifespan than the average human, ageing slower. She is also capable of controlling fire and air while in human form and has slightly greater speed, strength, and agility. In her dragon-hybrid form, she also has control over darkness.
Personality: Though she prefers to be a loner, Zaylin is still fairly good in groups. However, she has a quick anger and a vengeful spirit, even if only in thought and not action, and can hold a grudge for years. A helpful girl, she is more than happy to aid others, but will refrain from seeking out help for herself as long as possible, preferring to get things done on her own. She is also passionate and creative, loving to draw and spilling her heart into writings. Though she usually follows rules when disobeying would bring about extreme consciences (or her grandmother’s wrath), she always questions why they are in place, and will break them if she believes they are meant to be broken. She also has an affinity for precious and shiny items, favoring precious/semi-precious stones, jewelry, and ancient books.
Bio: Zaylin grew up with her parents, who were of middleclass standing. For most of her life, she went to school, her grades rarely if ever falling below an “A,” and made friends like a normal girl—until she turned thirteen. A couple days before her birthday, her grandmother—who looked strangely young for a woman supposedly of nearly seventy—revealed to the girl that she was of dragon descent, proving it by morphing into a magenta dragon-hybrid. Though they were uncertain at first whether the dragon blood in her would manifest itself after skipping her mother, her parents reluctantly consented to allowing her grandmother to train and teach her. Zaylin quickly learned to respect and fear her grandmother, and to obey the woman’s demands. Somehow, the girl still managed to juggle her grandmother’s lessons, spending time with friends, and maintaining an “A” average in public school. When she turned fourteen, the first hope of her ability being passed on to her manifested, much to her delight. She found that her physical abilities had enhanced beyond what her grandmother’s training had brought about, and discovered her control over fire and air one evening while spending time with her grandmother. About a year after that—a time in which her grandmother had tried vigorously to be capable of getting Zaylin to transform—she finally managed to morph into a young, black-scaled dragon as her dragon blood finally fully settled in. Though much smaller and weaker than the full hybrid form of her grandmother, she had done it. The family legacy had passed on to her. Just before she turned sixteen, she received her invitation to attend the academy, and her grandmother quickly jumped in. Though Zaylin protested against the uniform of the school, her grandmother made the final say. Zaylin’s parents wisely went along with her grandmother’s wishes and sent the girl to Northwood Academy.
How you came to the school: Transferred after her sophomore year at high school. Her grandmother had attended the school, and was excited when Zaylin received an invitation to the school. Her grandmother—who accumulated plenty of money in her lifetime—quickly took up the financial responsibilities for Zaylin to attend the school.

**NAME:** James “Jamie” Drummond
**AGE:** 16
**YEAR:** 2nd
**NORMAL OR SUPERNATURAL?**
Supernatural – “Luck” or otherwise the art of making it through something by the skin of his teeth. (Perhaps it has to do with probabilities and an instinctual knowledge of them. Either way, Jamie has learned from past mistakes the dangers of relying on it too much.)
**PERSONALITY:**
Jamie is the type to hate normality – he finds that a life without change and excitement is too mundane, too stagnant for him. He chases after thrills like a dog with a stick (minus the tongue-wagging). No danger is too huge, no task impossible for the courageous Jamie Drummond!
They say that Jamie is not quite right, that he doesn't look before he leaps and charges in like a bull. He's easy-going, certainly, but that doesn't mean he is mindful of his surroundings and those in it. His closest friends are the ones who can keep up with him, and those who *can't*... well, they're not worth his interest. His utter lack of care towards his academic work (and obsession over the practical) is by no means a reflection of his intellect; however, his common sense has vanished – if it even existed in the first place.
A true extrovert, he doesn't like to be alone nor does he like to see it in others. He's also oh-so-very loud.
**BIO:**
Born into an extremely wealthy Scottish family with a good reputation for business and a notorious one for scandals, Jamie had big shoes to fill. Tutored at home in addition to his normal Primary School work throughout all of his childhood years, it wasn't an excessively happy time and he lacked the freedom most children were given; however, his parents felt it necessary – not as naturally clever as many of his brothers and sisters, a head for business had to be drilled into him.
Even so, he always noticed something was different about himself, and so did others. His parents called him a “leprechaun” for his abnormally good luck, untamed and uncontrolled when he was younger. If he desperately wanted something (like to *win*), he would – barely. His grades were consistently just above the pass mark every time, no matter where it was set at, and even waking up at the latest possible moment to go to school he would always somehow make it. It all came to a head in one particular incident at age eleven: a car accident with him as the pedestrian where he survived miraculously unscathed.
It was only when he started stretching the limits of his strange luck that it began to fail him (and as a result, he began to fail his tests). Quickly he shut it off – clearly it only 'guided' him so he still had to study, or wake up early enough to get to class – and after he grew up into a teenager, he honestly forgot all about it. It was just an overactive imagination trying to think of himself as something special, or at least, that's what he told himself.
Once enrolled in Northwood Academy on the suggestion of his aunt, he continued to pull a 'barely passing' GPA at 3.1, teeter around two tardies out of three each term, barely make curfew and survive all in all through sheer luck alone. The only thing he seems truly talented in is sports – most if not all kinds. His ability almost certainly contributes to that, without his knowledge.
**HOW YOU CAME TO THE SCHOOL:**
Enrolled from Year 1 onwards – accepted due to rich parents.

**NAME:** Luca Seacliffe
**AGE:** 14
**YEAR:** 1st Year
**NORMAL OR SUPERNATURAL?**
A supernatural with particularly mundane talents. She is similar to the legends of the trickster, having an abnormal talent for misdirection and confusing others.
**PERSONALITY:**
Luca is, without a doubt, a girl with too few marbles and an insatiable curiosity for places considered off limits. She appears immature for her age, still caught up in the carefree imagination of childhood where pranks and magic tricks are more than enjoyable. She has not grown out of that phase, still a precocious kid with too many questions rather than a young woman supposedly on the cusp of adulthood. While intelligent, she doesn't quite understand social norms and is an unrepentant tomboy.
**BIO:**
Luca Seacliffe is the illegitimate daughter of an extremely wealthy businessman and a 'woman of loose morals' (or at least, that's what her mother calls herself) – her household was of average income at best but as an only child she did not have any competition for affection or toys. Even so, her mother was often busy; Luca amused herself from a young age with television and magic sets that were old Christmas present. By ten, she was already designing her own to emulate those she saw in the media.
She had a brief taste of fame in a local newspaper back home in Carlisle, for her winning act in a talent show and since then she had wanted more. Her mother moved to America, however, taking the young star in the making with her and allowing her brief reputation to fall into obscurity. Luca was enrolled into the Northwood Academy of Excellence for her prodigious grades; however, it came with a warning that her social skills left much to be desired.
**HOW YOU CAME TO THE SCHOOL:**
First year student this year – scholarship student.
**PREFERRED DORM:**
Dorsey Hall – she likes the mystery.

Character Sheet:
**Appearance**
**Name:** Cerise Sonata
**Age:** Undisclosed
**Normal or Supernatural:** Dhampyr. There are many fictions that detail the characteristics of this half vampire breed. However, Cerise has only a few select known. Her sleek knee length ebony hair is a traditional feature but her canines are not as expected. Most fictions describe the canines as being extremely elongated whereas Cerises are only slightly longer than those of normals. She can sustain herself off of both blood as well as normal food, though her hunger is sated for longer from feeding on blood. Her skin is very pale and if she goes too long without feeding can begin to appear translucent. Her body is also slightly jelly-like, implying that she lacks real bones. She is surprisingly not ice to the touch though nine would quite refer to her as warm either. Lastly, Cerise can be exposed to sunlight for up to 2 hours maximum within a 24-hour period, though she lacks a shadow. Any longer than that and she begins to visibly smoke and experience a burning-like pain.
**Personality:** Cerise is a strange being, aside from her being a half-breed. At first glance, most would expect her to be cold and, for lack of a better term, evil. Cerise had the capacity to portray those traits, the same as anyone but what you'll find behind her somewhat menacingly appearance might surprise you. Cerise is extremely passionate about the arts, specifically music. She has an incredible sense of humor, though she rarely cracks jokes herself. It is not uncommon to find her smiling when she is found in the theater. The only exception to her "normal" behavior are the humans. Being a half vampire, she struggles with viewing them as little more than a food source. This causes her interactions with her human students to be a little more strained and to seem ruder than intended.
**Bio:** Cerise shares very little about her past with others. She tends to focus on her time in France, her birth place. She describes a small coven predominantly of women housed in the ruins of a forgotten theater. Every time she tells the story, her eyes lighten to a shimmering emerald shade. It was there she practiced her art; singing and piano.
The women raised her as if she were a full blooded vampire, never talking about where her mother/father or even who they were.
Only particular Vampiress, Margot, indulged with her an indication that her father ran off when finding that her mother was with child. And her mother? Well, Cerise still isn't sure but she doesn't think that she's half human.
Perhaps, there's a reason she's so musically inclined. Besides, she's been told to have the voice of a siren on more than one occasion.
**Class Taught:** Music

Hi! I would love to still join this rp if it's not too late!
- Name: Lydia Wintworth
- Age: 16
- Year: 2nd
- Normal or Supernatural (as in, what are you?): Normal
- Personality: Lydia is a shy girl who makes quite the effort to keep out of as many people’s way as possible. She’s very sweet, but hardly talks to anyone other than a couple friends she’s managed to find during her time at Northwood.
- Bio: Lydia was born in New York City, the only child of the wealthy socialite, Vivian Wintworth. Although she comes from money, Lydia was often neglected by her mother and the job of raising her was left to various nannies and caretakers. When she was six, a woman named Anita was hired as a permanent nanny to Lydia. Up until the age of 12, Anita was one of the only people she trusted completely and loved with all her heart. Lydia was devastated when her beloved nanny had to move back to her home in South America to take care of her ill father. She then went through eight different nannies until her mother finally decided to ship her off to boarding school. When she was 14, Lydia applied to Northwood Academy, located far away from her home in NYC. Due to her excellent grades and high standing at her boarding school, Lydia was accepted into the Academy. Although she had to adjust to being so far away from any huge cities, Lydia enjoyed being in a place surrounded by nature. She does not miss her mother much, and never knew her father. The only person she writes to often is Anita.

- Name: Max Elliot
- Age: 17
- Year: 3rd
- Normal or Supernatural (as in, what are you?): Max is a necromancer. Ever since he was little, he’s seen the ghosts of dead souls everywhere he goes. They can only communicate with him if he speaks to them first and Max tries to avoid talking to them as much as possible. It’s hard to distinguish between real people and dead people sometimes.
- Personality: Max is very reserved. He doesn’t like talking to other people but he also doesn’t really like other people too much. On a good day he’s rather friendly but on gloomier days he is uninviting. He’s usually trying to ignore everybody for fear of what they might be.
- Bio: Max was 4 when he first communicated with someone from the other side. A woman who had been murdered by an intruder in his house 150 years beforehand lived in his closet-the place she had been murdered in. Every night until he was 8, the year his family moved, he hid under his covers while the woman begged and pleaded with him to save her. When his family moved, Max had hoped the woman would be left behind and he would be safe again. However, instead of the lady who had been murdered, his new home held an entire family that died in a fire. Afraid that they would torment him like before, Max ignored every single one of them and found that they couldn’t bother him if he didn’t talk to him. It was when he was 13 that his little sister was born and his family moved once again. In his new house, a man who had died in the 30s lived in his room with him.
- How you came to the school: Max received an invitation. He jumped at the chance to leave the home that held yet another ghost for him. He didn’t know, at the time, how many students had died at the school.

> A rather pretty girl, Hazel is mostly known for her strange, mystical, and maybe even witchy eyes. She stands at about 5'10 and is thin and lanky, mostly due to her constant forgetfulness to eat and stay healthy. Her face is small and pale, and normally heavily made up, especially during school days. Hazel's lips are somewhat large and always curled into a pout, while her nose is small and rounded. Her eyes seem to be blue-green, and almost have a silvery appearance to them. Messy pale brown hair frames Hazel's round face, giving her a much more childish appearance. She is rarely seen in anything too fancy, oft preferring sweats and sweaters over dresses and heels, and her hair is normally held up in a large, messy bun, or loose and down to her mid-back.

> **Normal or Supernatural:**

> Clairvoyant (Unaware) - Sees the future through reflective surfaces, more so TVs and computer screens, and hears whispers through phones and during her dreams. Most of her precognition are hard to decipher and rarely wrong, but she has learned to somewhat use them to her advantage, even if she just thinks of them as mere lucky streaks. Also spiritually sensitive, and can see ghosts and other supernatural phenomena.
>
>
>
> **Personality:**
>
> Hazel is a clever and quick-witted young woman, with a sharp tongue and a direct way of approaching things. She is not afraid to speak her mind and will more times then not fight for what she believes is right before truly thinking into it. Very curious towards things that seem strange and loves to go out and adventure whenever she gets a chance. Typically cynical of most people, she is overly polite and quiet around strangers, and at times even friends, unless they are doing something outright wrong or immoral in her eyes. If that is the case, then she will not hold back on insults or reprimands until she feels it is right to stop. Over all introverted, she is easy to talk to but looses energy easily if around too many people, and after parties or large excursions she normally allows herself a day or two alone to relax and recharge. Plagued by visions and voices when both asleep and awake, Ash rarely sleeps well, and is rather forgetful. There are many times when she has forgotten to eat or speak during her daily life, which leaves her family a bit worried for her well-being.
>
> Absolutely loves poems, and has a rather clever mind. She could write music and lyrics for hours without stopping, and many times she has done exactly that. Easily stressed out, Hazel has trouble keeping calm at times, and if she gets too far into her panic she may suffer for anxiety attacks and other mildly worrying forms of panic. While she does her best to stay afloat in school, she can very quickly get discouraged if she is unable to do something as easily as she would like. Most of her stress is bore from her lack of sleep and her parents wish for her to keep doing well in school, and while some would say for her to simply take a break and nap it just isn't that easy. Excels in English and music classes, while she is relatively okay at math and science.
>
> Around TVs, phones, and other tech-related devices she is rather nervous. Her powers usually seem to filter through the slender, hole-ridden telephones or smooth, black screens of televisions, more clearly then anywhere else, so when she is close to any sort of electric based item she may hear whispers, or see images of the past or future. Her powers also filter in through still water, windows, mirrors, and dreams, and are overall very dull and hard to see and understand. She is unaware that this is even a power, instead thinking of it as her remembering something odd, like deja vu. She also seems to be sensitive to supernatural forces, and can at times see white outlines of people, or ghosts, as others would call them.
>
>
> **Bio:**
>
> Hazel was born into a normal, Thai-Irish family. She was the first (and only) child, heavily spoiled, and loved unconditionally by her doctor mother and lawyer father. Of course, due to her parents being busy with their work, she was often alone in her childhood, and though she acted like she didn't mind it kind of got to her eventually, leaving her to be a very withdrawn child. As she grew, Hazel began to notice all the people who lived in her house with them, like the man with the rope around his neck, and the children who often jumped from the railings to the foyer below while giggling hysterically. Hazel often told her parents of these people, but they brushed her off gently, calling them her "imaginary friends". And she soon began to believe they imaginary as well eventually.
>
> The first time she heard whispers of the future was when she was ten, and she was home alone playing with her dad's old guitar. The phone rang suddenly from the kitchen, the old white land line phone that had been broken for the passed three weeks, and Hazel answered with slight hesitance. On the other end, whispers, excited and certain, filtered through and filled her mind with images. She saw a cat, a bad test grade, and an unfamiliar, sobbing child. So surprised by these images, Hazel dropped the phone and fell back, yelling out in fear as the images took over her mind and caused a massive headache. She was bedridden for two days, and when she finally was able to walk and talk without getting a migraine and a nosebleed she returned to school. On her way, though, she was caught up by the most adorable, yet familiar looking cat. She spent a few minutes trying to coax it forward before continuing on her way. In her second period science class, there was a sudden quiz, which she didn't do too well on, receiving a low seventy as a grade, and during recess, the new kid was being harshly bullied. Hazel witnessed all of this, feeling such a heavy sense of deja vu that she almost felt sick.
>
> These odd phenomena continued happening, well into her middle school and then high school life, though she merely brushed them off as sleep-deprived hallucinations/lucky guesses. She was eventually enrolled into the Northwood Academy, and she transferred in during her sophomore year of high school.

- Normal or Supernatural (as in, what are you?): Normal
- Personality: Terra is an understanding teacher, but she doesn't give extensions (except for extreme cases). She grades fairly, but strictly. Terra requires excellent penmanship from her students. It is not beneath her to try new ways to teach. If she notices a student having a hard time she'll help them out as best as she can.

When he has to wear a jacket he wears a long flowing silk and cashmere trench coat, and when you look at the silk lineing inside you can find many inscriptions in various languages. His skin is incredibly pale, and he almost never sleeps giveing his eyes that sort of cereal killer look. He is incredibly attractive, but its not easy to pick out why.

Over time he learned a few tricks from some of the old tomes his adoptive father owned, and his above average intellect got him easily through school. In time he got a scholarship to the school and he began his time their recently.
How you came to the school (did you transfer or are you a Year 1 student? Did you receive and invitation or did you have to apply to the school first? Scholarship or rich parents?): His adoptive father 'wasted' his sizeable extra income on old tomes of magic and demonology, so he had to get in on scholarships. He was invited to the school under 'special circumstances'.

[Her Phoenix Form, should it ever occur](http://i.imgur.com/MsGmuYg.jpg)
**Name:** Sidine "Sid" Vuliana
**Age:** 15
**Year:** 1st Year
**Supernatural:** Sid is a phoenix neatly wrapped up in human form, newly reborn from the ashes of her last existence. She catches glimpses from her previous life, and they are usually there to aid her when she is in trouble. Unfortunately, they end up doing more harm than good, resulting typically in head aches and stomach aches, or fainting if the memory is too intense.
Among her repertoire of innate abilities, she has regenerative powers that will heal a normal scratch or cut rather quickly, and has control over fire to a small extent. Lighting a candle without a match is the extent of her abilities, but hurling gigantic balls of flame... not even remotely possible. Sidine also has the powers of hovering, and usually uses them to hop down flights of stairs while no one is looking, or to stop herself from colliding with the ground should she trip - small things, but helpful in her day to day life nonetheless. Additionally, she is somewhat hot to the touch, a few degrees hotter than the average person.
The necklace around her neck was given to her by the Vuliana family, and it is used to retain her human form. Should this necklace be removed, Sid will transform into her true form, and so she is never seen without it. She tells other students that is a family heirloom.
She knows what she is, has accepted it, and continues to live knowing that one day she will die to be reborn again. A never-ending cycle.
**Personality:** Sid is chipper, sassy, comical, and looks for the fun in things before anything else. She will easily walk up to chat with people, though some of what she says sounds outlandish or strange due to her limited interaction outside of her home. She can be overly trusting and assuming as well, considering people she's only spoken to on handful of times as her friends.
She is insatiably curious about _everything_, and will devour any information given to her, and this includes her academics. You can usually find her in the Library reading everything she can put her claws on. She's near the top of her class, if not _the top_, because of her obsessive studying. Rumors and gossip also play a big part for her, and she will follow their trails wherever they should lead - she is insanely intrusive in this degree, and doesn't understand why it's bad.
Sid seems lady-like, but she doesn't mind getting her hands dirty if it means fun in the end. Seeing her run amok in the gardens or near the lake in her school clothing happens frequently, but is shocking none the less from the glitzy-seeming intellectual first year.
In some respects, Sid is very bird-like in her habits, and will tend to hoard a particular sort of object on her person or in her room. These vary from month to month, or day to day, but are usually shiny or sweet. Or both. As an example, she keeps a trove of stolen pennies, nickels, tinfoil, rocks, and an assortment of small bits of jewelry and beads in her dorm room underneath her bed. On her person, she keeps nuts or candies that she will pop into her mouth on a frequent basis, usually also pilfered. It's not that she doesn't have the money to pay for it, but that swiping small things is just in her nature. And true to her bird nature, she is exceptional at singing, but tends to keep it to herself. She doesn't think it's _that_ fun, but she hasn't had many opportunities to let her talents shine.
Combined with her odd demeanor is her need to be touchy with other people, usually in a light way. A touch on the shoulder, a quick hug, a peck on the cheek. It doesn't bother her with gender either, and males are just as likely to get these gestures as females.
**Bio:** Sid was reborn from the ashes of her last existence fifteen years ago and into the care of the Vuliana family, who are wealthy humans that serve as the guardians of the phoenix lineage that Sid is part of. Despite being extremely strict, these humans have tried their best, and have somewhat achieved, at making this phoenix into a regular-seeming young lady, but there is always something off about her. When she attended a public elementary school, accidents abounded because of her being unable to completely control her true self, and they were forced to homeschool her for the turbulent years of her childhood. Sid could prove to be too much at times, and so when she reached the age of enrollment, the Vuliana family decided to unload her at Northwood Academy of Excellence, hoping that the prestigious school could reign her in.
**How you came to the school:** She was enrolled by the family taking care of her, and they pay for her to attend. After spending so long pent up in the Vuliana Manor, this phoenix hatchling is ready to break out into the world in a blaze as a first year at Northwood.

Mkay. I'm so very muchly out of practice at writing CSes, like holy crud. Anywho. Name: Aeriana "Aery" Thomas Appearance: Aery's very short and really skinny. She’s very pale and has light brown hair in waves almost to her knees. Her eyes are big and a somewhat disconcerting pale blue, made even bigger by her enormous glasses. Age: 14 Year: Second Normal or Supernatural (as in, what are you?): Normal, but she is incredibly intelligent and has a nearly photographic memory. Personality: Aery’s quiet and meek, preferring to spend the time at her books or at the pool. But once you force her into conversation a couple of times, she’ll be a loyal friend. She prefers to listen, rather than to talk herself, until you ask her about politics or try to get into an academic debate with her. She’s true to her friends, though, and will always help them out with whatever they need. Bio: Aery was raised by a single mother who was a college professor, who pushed Aery to be the best academically. She made Aery love to learn, and so Aery spent all of her spare time reading. She went to online school to give herself more variety in her classes. And her classes! She skipped grades during elementary and middle school, so she got into high school when she was eleven (always online, though, so that she didn’t have to deal with in-person interactions.) She took just about everything AP, even in her freshman year, including her favorite subject, AP Latin. Aery’s one thing that isn’t academic is swimming. She loves to swim and is fairly decent at it; her favorite events are the 500, 1000, and 1650 free and the 200 butterfly and 400 IM. In the five hundred she goes a 5:45, in the 1000 a 12:15, in the 1650 a 19:00. In the 200 fly she does a 2:45 and in the 400 IM a 5:30. How you came to the school: The school offered Aery a scholarship to attend as a year two student at the age of 14, based simply on her “outstanding” grades and standardized test scores. Preferred Dorm: ElliotThe only thing wrong is that this rp is set in 70s, so Aery wouldn't have been able to take online classes.
