~Personal Information~

Personality:
♦ Extremely Kind-Hearted ♦ Rather Stubborn ♦ Overly Helpful ♦ Shy and Modest ♦ Exceedingly Mature ♦ Slightly Broken ♦ Quite Bubbly ♦

Known to all those around her to be an exceedingly sweet and charming young lady; Syleste is an extremely graceful and very loving, kind-hearted girl who cares deeply for all those of whom she not only believes herself to be close to, but also those she holds dear to her within her heart; the dreamy-eyed girl showing her love and affection to all those close to her. Overly curious and full of life she tends to find herself, more often than not, walking into some sort of danger or trouble; whether it be something as minor as receiving a slight paper cut on her finger, or something that's of far more serious consequence such as following her curiosity and accidentally falling off the bank and into the lake- the bubbly teenager never showing any signs that she's willing to let her disability get in the way of her living the life she wants to. Though coming off sometimes as shy at first when a situation seems to overwhelm her (large crowds of people surrounding her, loads of information being given to her at one time, ect.), once she has had time to adjust, Syleste seems to have no issues putting herself out there for others to see; the young girl never truly having a problem whenever it comes to being an open book, or making friends.

Although a kind and graceful soul, Syleste is also known for being stubborn when it comes to something that she truly believes in, choosing to stand up for it rather than backing down once she has already made up her mind, usually making it near impossible to convince her otherwise. Quite mature and oddly grown-up for her age thanks to living her whole life with her disability, Syleste often does all she can not to be, or to be considered a "burden" to all those who are around her, the young woman doing everything she can and more to help out (cleaning, cooking, ect.), even sometimes choosing to put her own needs aside in favor of others, no matter how difficult the task may seem for her; the girl trying her best at everything and anything that she seems to set her mind to.

Coming across at times as being quietly confident and extremely calm, she sometimes tends to pull away from the company of others becoming very reserved and thoughtful, choosing instead to lose herself within her own mind and in her own little world. Unnaturally bright and unique in her own way, Syleste has the aptitude for thinking outside of the box on general occasion, always coming up with strange ideas that would normally otherwise be considered near impossible to pull off, though with the young woman's odd way of using her intelligence she is known for being able to twist them to the point of making it all work out.

Syleste's Disability - Blindness

The Adaptable Brain
At birth, the portion of the brain that deal with vision, hearing, and all other senses are connected. As a sighted child continues to grow up, these connections begin to separate themselves from one another, until eventually independent centers in the brain control each of the different senses that a person can use. In a blind infant however, these connections might remain intact, and the job of processing sound might be shared by both the visual cortex, as well as the auditory processing centers. If a person loses his/ her sight during childhood or adulthood, the connections might have already been separated because myelin (the fatty sheath surrounding affected nerves) develops rapidly in the very young.

Neuro-Imaging
Research into blindness has found that while regions in the brain that deal with vision are smaller in blind individuals than in that of those who still have their sight, other non-visual areas are increasingly larger. Looking into the brain's potential to adapt after blindness, researchers have found that blindness causes structural changes in the brain, indicating that the brain may reorganize itself functionally in order to adapt to a loss in sensory input; the area's in the brain dealing with memory, hearing, and other senses becoming enlarged in an attempt to compensate for the fact that the person can no longer see.

Echolocation
A blind person can become quite adept at using echolocation (identifying an object by the sound or echo that it makes) while moving through the world around him/ her. Children or babies that are born blind use extra hand movements as they crawl, slapping the floor around them to create a kind of auditory and sensory feedback. The use of reflected sound by blind children helps them to explore and manipulate aspects of the sound world, other visually impaired individuals may make clicking noises to note the changes in sound as the distance between them and different obstacles shift; this can also be seen in animals such as dolphins and bats.

Using Touch To Explore The World
The largest area of the brain's surface is devoted to the hand and the sense of touch, the skin being the largest organ of the body allows us to use this sense to the fullest, and the blind child is a "sensation" of information. Many blind individuals can feel changes in temperature as they near a window, wall, and other objects, relying on their enhanced sense of touch to help them explore the world around them.

A Deeper Vision
Before the invention of non-invasive neuro-imaging, people could only speculate and look on in awe at the increased abilities that those who were blind seemed to posses. The well-known painter, Pablo Picasso explored the nature of blindness during his "Blue Period", some claiming that he was able to find an intensity of other senses in his depiction of the blind. Researchers state that what you lose in one place, you gain elsewhere, reinforcing the idea that other senses are not only affected but also enhanced by blindness.

Likes:
✔ Animals of all kinds; especially her pet fox, however, asking her to describe them is another matter.
✔ Cuddling with her friends, and others she cares about.
✔ Hot chocolates and marshmallows.
✔ Strawberries and pomegranates.
✔ Music; especially singing and playing the piano.
✔ Bubblegum, and the color pink.
✔ Reading (Fantasy mostly).

Dislikes:
✘ Swimming, and deep water (strong fear).
✘ Riding bikes (of any kind).
✘ Being left completely alone.
✘ Being treated differently.

Hobbies: Not willing to let her disability get the better of her, Syleste shows great talent and love when it comes to things like music, and reading; the young woman especially skilled at both singing and playing the piano for her friends and family, and reading anything in braille.

Strengths:
⚜ Being blind- thanks to her disability, her other senses (hearing, smell, taste and touch) have become slightly more enhanced than that of a normal person.
⚜ Intelligent when it comes to being able to read anything she is given in braille.
⚜ Music; especially singing and playing the piano.

Weaknesses:
☠ Being blind- people tend to treat her differently, more delicately, like she’s made of glass.
☠ Has a strong fear of both swimming, and deep water.
☠ Easily overwhelmed- surrounded by large crowds, given loads of information at once, ect.
☠ Believes herself to be a burden, and tries her best to not be one.

Brief Biography:
♦ To be written… again…♦

~Other Information~

Other: Understanding that people can become quite uncomfortable with her disability, Syleste keeps a bit of light blue material with her which she uses to hide her eyes from view, not wanting others to have to deal with the strange look of her eyes- though the young woman's goal is to one day find a place where she really belongs, and a life surrounded by people who truly accepted for who she is.

Though never talking about it without first being asked, Syleste has a small though meaningful tattoo situated behind her right ear that not even her mother knows that she had done.

~Theme Song~

Theme Song:
"Wake Me Up" by Avicii.

Lyrics:
Feeling my way through the darkness,
Guided by a beatin’ heart.
I can’t tell where the journey will end,
But I know where to start.
They tell me I’m too young to understand,
They say I’m caught up in a dream.
Well life will pass me by if I don’t open up my eyes,
Well, that’s fine by me.

So wake me up when it’s all over,
When I’m wiser, and I’m older.
All this time I was finding myself,
And, I didn’t know I was lost.

[rivaan]

Looks very cool! So she's a demigod?

[Vicier]

What..?! Where did I gorget to take that out from?! @-@;;

Recycled character from one of my old rps with a few touch ups...

[rivaan]

@Vicier xD Well I was wondering what was going on there :P but hey she can totaly benefit from some of my hunter's knowledges of the old arts :P Like the ones boosting perception which our dear wolves will soon learn isn't to be undersestimated~

[Vicier]

@rivaan; hahaha, oh god... a hunter in training huh..? Can you imagine her with a crossbow..? She'd probably ask to paint it pink, and then decorate it with flowers if she wasn't being watched x'D

Aslo, thanks for noticing that little hitch; all fixed up now owo

[rivaan]

@Vicier Heh, why not? ^_^ she'd make a fine hunter, after all no supernatural being would suspect a blind person as a hunter ;3 Also nothign bad with pink crossbows decorated with flowers xD

[Damo021]

Wolves, vampires and hunters what on earth is next?! :P

well I know one other thing that is out there.

[rivaan]

@Damo021 everything.... the darkness is so much scarier~~~~~

[Damo021]

@rivaanEver heard of a Dhampir?

[rivaan]

Yep of course I've heard of dhampirs lol. I would have been a fantasy fan if I haven't ^_^ though their exact definition depends on the source ranging from half vampires born from a human woman and male vampire, to accidents like biting the mother during pregnancy and so many more variations ^_^

[rivaan]

and sorry for the double post, but... Can't help it, have to show it :P

My Hider

[Nallore]

@Vicier I know this lovely blind girl! :D Shes good to go! :)

[Damo021]

@rivaan I wonder what a hunter would think of a Dhampir? :P

[rivaan]

@Damo021 It's a rather ehhhh... attitude. On one side a dhampir isn't really that much of a danger as a vampire and on another side the dhampir is more alive than vampires so it once again depends on what dhampirs are like here. Cause if they cannot really continue the curse aka create other dhampirs hunters would most likely ignore them... as long as they don't interrupt them and so on.

[Vicier]

Finally..! Screw you bad internet..! I beat you and got the post up..!

[BlackPanther]

Was waiting for one more post....but I can post soon
