Nadia wasn’t necessarily a morning person, but she did like the aesthetic and ambiance it provided. However, when you live in a dorm room, there are very few windows for natural light and the air is usually stuffy from living in close quarters with others. This morning still called for excitement, classes were about to begin. Nadia woke up to an annoying alarm beeping at her. Normally she woke up before her alarm, but it seemed as though the curtains were drawn over the window. Looking over at her roommate and adopted sister, Nadia saw Kayley awake and staring at the wall over her bed. Rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, the merrow sat up and swung her legs over the edge of the bed.

“What are you doing?” She asked, the sleep still prevalent in her groggy voice.

“One sec,” Kayley muttered as she finished pinning another image into her large corkboard. Nine unsolved murders. Seven missing campers. None of this was a coincidence. The supernatural world had to be involved. Kayley had visited the police station four times in the past week, but they had told her to stay out of it. All of the victim's’ blood had been drained, some even had missing limbs. The obvious answer was that a Vampire was at work. The news had released little to no information about the two events, but Kayley was determined to figure out the truth.

Kayley rubbed her tired eyes before glancing back at Nadia.“Good morning, Nadia. Sorry, I’ve been working on some stuff.”

“Oh, still trying to figure out those disappearances and what not?” Nadia crossed the short gap between their beds and examined the board briefly. ”You know you kinda look like a conspiracy theorist, right?”

“Yeah,” Kayley shrugged, “There’s something going on, Nadia. I just need to figure out who’s behind all of this.” With a hum, Nadia jumped back off the bed and traveled over to the window to finally let some light in. She was pleasantly surprised at the vibrant colors of the leaves. Just to be sure, Nadia checked the temperature on her phone.

“Yay! It’s finally fall weather. You know what that means,” Nadia rushed over to her closet. She had to jump, but she managed to grab a large box on the top shelf labeled ‘Sweaters’. When she opened it, the fabric inside puffed out, finally released from it’s tight confines. As Nadia went through her clothes trying to find something to wear, Kayley pulled her frizzy hair into a tight pony. She slipped into a pair of clean jeans, discarding the one she currently wore, and replaced her wrinkly t-shirt with a white blouse. She glanced at her neatly made bed and shook her head in regret. She often pulled all nighters to complete her projects and assignments, but they never became easier.

“I’m going to go grab some coffee, do you want to come?” Kayley asked, taking a peek at her face in the mirror. Bags fell under her eyes, visible despite her light makeup, and her already white skin looked sickly pale. Kayley sighed. She needed coffee. Coffee would help.

“Sure. Just a sec, though.” Nadia pulled out a long, deep red sweater. “What do you think? Should I do something more fall-ish?” A short black skirt sat at the edge of her bed as well. “I want to wear this new skirt, I have some black tights and boots that go great with it. Oh! I should add a scarf. Hmm, what color? I have a beige one. Or maybe a red plaid? As she continued to ramble, Nadia pulled out said articles of clothing from the depths of her closet.

Kayley raised her eyebrow at Nadia. “Don’t wear the red sweater, it’ll look off with both of your scarfs. Wear your pink sweater, you look cute in that one.”

“Oooh. You’re right! Then I could wear the cream scarf.” After a few moments, she got out the clothes and put the outfit on. Not wanting to waste too much time, Nadia went to the bathroom to freshen up a bit.

Taking the moment to look at her board again, Kayley started writing in her pocket sized composition notebook. Filled with various information about the supernatural world as well as her own combat techniques, she took the notebook wherever she went. Hundreds of them were stacked in a box under her bed. She would often flip through them every so often to refresh her memory. The current one she used was filled with theories of the murders and disappearances. She had been studying Vampires more closely as well.

When Nadia came back into the room, she quickly grabbed her grey backpack. It wasn’t very big and only really carried a laptop, a few noted books, and some writing utensils. ”Alright, let’s go! I have a class at 11 and I don’t know how long we want to spend at the coffee shop,”

Breaking her attention from her work again, Kayley grabbed her light pink backpack and held the door for Nadia. “I have class at 10:00 so we can’t spend too long there.” Nodding her head, Nadia exited and the two headed over to Coffee Central. The cafe was a ways away, but it was nice outside. As the two passed through the courtyard, it was obvious that a flurry of orange papers had been dumped all over the place. Nadia pick up one of the papers.

“It looks like someone’s throwing a party.” She tucked the paper in a side pocket. People really shouldn’t be littering. “I don’t think I want to go, but you should.”

“A party? There are so many more important things people could be doing than that, Nadia. I need to be focused on school work and all of these disappearances.” Students of all kinds of races walked by laughing carelessly. Kayley was the complete opposite of the majority of the students within her school. All of them had the luxury and freedom to go to parties, spend time with their friends, and enjoy school. Kayley couldn’t afford that. There was simply no time. She made a vow to her parents, and she would work her hardest until she had fulfilled that promise. “Let’s go, Nadia.” She said before rushing the two of them out of the crowd.

“Well I think you need to relax a little.” Nadia whined, but reluctantly followed. “Oh, I know! You should get a boyfriend. There are plenty of cute guys here. What about him?” Nadia pointed to a dark haired guy. He was talking to another girl, but that didn’t deter her. ”Isn’t he in the Guardian Auxiliary thing? You two could bond over your mutual goal of becoming a Guardian!”

At the mention of a boyfriend, Kayley eyes widened in both surprise and annoyance. “Nadia, what?” Kayley barely had enough time to sleep, let alone spend time with a boy. The thought was absolutely ridiculous. “Nadia, stop,” Kayley snapped. She glanced over to see if the boy overheard them, and identified him as Tony. Just Great. Quickly grabbing Nadia’s wrist, she hurried the two of them away from the courtyard. Once they were several paces from Tony, Kayley turned to face her. “You can’t do that, okay? I don’t have time for any of that. I made a promise, and you know how important that is to me. So please, stop.”

“I know your promise is important to you, but you spend so much time on it. I think you would do good to take a little time for yourself. At least get a good night’s rest every night.” Nadia felt herself shrink in. She didn’t like confrontations like this, but she cared for Kayley’s health too much to not say anything.

Clutching her hand tightly, Kayley took a deep breath before responding. “Nadia. I don’t have the luxury to sleep. I don’t care about boys or parties, all of that is childish and irrelevant to everything. I thought you understood that?” She heard her voice slowly grow louder, but she couldn’t help but feel hurt by Nadia’s request. Becoming a Guardian meant everything to Kayley. “I have to get to class now so let’s just do coffee another time.” Kayley hurriedly walked away from Nadia and the entire impossible situation.

Nadia could feel the hot pressure of tears in her eyes, but she was in public. There was no way she could cry in public. “I’m sorry,” She muttered after Kayley had left. It hurt to see her like that, but it seemed like no matter what she did, Kayley wouldn’t listen to her. Trying to keep it together, Nadia kept heading to the coffee shop. She’d at least be able to hide in the bathroom if she needed.

Full Name: Naida Sherwood

Nicknames/Alias/AKA: Nadia

Age: 20?

Gender: Female

DOB: June 02 (Her Chosen Birthday)

Occupation: Student at Gringore Academy
Works at Darling Boutique

Race: Merrow

Hair Color: Brown

Eye Color: Dark Green

Height and Build: 5'4", Average/On the thin side

Other Appearance: When Naida in salt water, her tail is similar to that of a vein-tailed betta fish. It's a dark green color that glints in the sun along with her silver skin. However, she is rarely in this from to prevent anyone accidentally seeing her. When in human form, Naida's hair is dyed brown to make her look more mundane, but her real hair is a silver similar to her skin in water. Naida usually likes to wear cute dresses and skirts. This is partially why she works at the Darling Boutique. She love the way it gives her legs room to breathe. However, when it gets cold, you will never not see her in a sweater of some type. She'd wear large sweaters and sweat pants all the time if she didn't go outside. She also prefers more cute clothing than fashion forward, it fuels her slightly shameful fantasy of feeling like a princess.

History/bio: The first thing Naida remembers is pain. She remembers being constantly hungry and sore. She remembers dark rooms and scary humans. What she doesn't remember are her parents nor the feeling of being in salt water and having a tail. Naida didn't have a sense of time or what life was supposed to be like. All she did was sit in a tiny room, and weave Gloss. Then after awhile of weaving Gloss, they would take her out and do all sort of things to get her to cry. They would beat her, electrocute her, berate her, anything they could. It wasn't hard given that she cried pretty easy, but even after crying until she had more tears, they would try to milk more out of her. It wasn't a good life, but it was the only one she knew. However, one day, her daily life was changed. A comforting hand was reached out to her and suddenly her life was filled with light. Nadia doesn't remember much of what happened since there was so much going on, but she was lead through the building where multiple shouts and lots of struggling took place. She eventually found herself in a large van with other people she assumed to be like her.

In an effort to keep Naida safe, she was taken to Nowhere. It was secluded, had a high concentration of supernatural beings, and there was someone willing to take care of her. When Naida met Nala, Naida was a nervous wreck. She wouldn't talk and was wary to trust. Naida was first drawn towards Kallista. They were similar of age and far from the mainly male adults who had tortured her before. The two grew close before Naida finally let Nala have a chance. Nala slowly taught Naida the ways of the world and gained her trust. Eventually, Naida gave herself her name with the help of Nala because of it's connection to water. Plus she thought it sounded pretty. The Merrow was truly fascinated with the outside world, particularly with nature. Something inside her called her to be outside in nature and specifically water. Finding out about her own abilities and her kind's value was a huge shock to her as well.

Naida felt the need to catch up with the kids her age in knowledge and eventually surpassed them. Because of this, she became an avid reader. Romantic novels and fantasy are her favorite genre. Nadia is a hopeless romantic and loves daydreaming and reading. Even though it's unrealistic, she loves the idea of being swept off her feet by some prince charming. Now Naida is enrolled in Gringore Academy along with Kallista. When she enrolled, she used the name Nadia instead of Naida since it sounded more normal and she had to keep her identity secret. She also began to dye her hair brown and if asked about her race, she either tries to not say anything or just say that she's a Fey. Both her and Kallista live in the dorms at Gringore. It's a fairly safe space for the two and Nala sees them frequently. The two adopted sisters visit Nala in her apartment frequently to chat and eat some nice food. Naida does lots of chores around the house for Nala to thank her for her kindness in bringing her in and treating her so nicely. Naida also initially took up a job to help Nala, but she refused because she didn't need the money. So now, Naida uses the money to save up and buy gifts for Nala and Kallista. Naida is constantly attached to Kallista and is very shy at the academy. She has trouble talking to others without getting nervous. She especially has troubles talking to authority figures such as professors. If any of them say anything that even hints at being mean, she begins to go misty eyed. She doesn't cry in order to keep her secret, but has occasionally gotten in trouble for running away from a professor.

//DESCRIPTION:

Lavanya is more of a tomboy, so she's not very fashion forward. In fact, she prefers comfort and function over style. She frequently wears men's jeans for those top quality large pockets. You could fit an entire dog in there! She also prefers to wear jackets over whatever top she has on for temperature regulation. Inside and outside temperatures can vary so drastically, it's ridiculous. Her favorite is one of her father's old bomber jackets. It's fairly worn, but that's what makes it so comfortable. Lavanya also always has multiple hair ties on her. Her hair is fairly thick, so it's not uncommon that she would break a hair tie. She usually ties it up when she really needs to concentrate or to do physical activity.

Since Lavanya does quite a bit of athletic activities, she has a fairly toned body. However, she also eats a lot of baked goods left over from the bakery, so it's not like she's a model. She doesn't like putting on makeup, but will do it when working to draw in customers. Even then, it's pretty simple. Lavanya has fairly good posture from all the sports and she carries herself with purpose. This is mainly so people get out of her way when she walks through the hall and don't bump into her.

▼ B I O G R A P H Y:

^{"Thanks for the memories, even though they weren't so great."}

Lavanya grew up with only her father taking care of her. Her mother developed uterine cancer shortly after giving birth, and died because of it later on. Lavanya's father learned quickly how to take care of the both of them on his own, however, the two still faced many difficulties. The family did not have much money before, but the medical bills for all of the cancer treatment had stacked up against them. Lavanya's father was in college at the time, getting a degree in the culinary arts. Luckily he had served in the military, so the tuition and classes were taken care of, but there was still the cost of living. After getting his degree, he started up his own bakery which had been his dream from the start. At first, it was extremely difficult not only did they have to pay off all the loans that had accumulated. After awhile, things got better in terms of money, but it also meant that Lavanya's father was busier. Lavanya learned how to take care of herself and the apartment they lived in on top of the bakery. She became independent, but whenever the two had time they would bake together. It was something they bonded over and it also helped out the bakery.

Also at this time, Lavanya became very athletic. Her father had shown her how to defend herself with some of his military knowledge and was a big soccer fan. In order to pass the time and have something to show her father to impress him, she joined a soccer club. She learned how competitive she could get, but also realized that she wasn't much of a team player. So, she switched to tennis, but that still wasn't her speed. Lavanya spent a lot of time dabbling in various sports, never fully committing to one or the other.

When she became old enough, Lavanya started working at the bakery. She took the job of cashier in the evening after school and in the early hours of the morning before school. She used every spare moment at the bakery to study and do homework. Because of this, she became a bit of a coffee addict to help curb her constant state of sleepiness. Recently, though, the bakery has gained enough funds to where more staff could be hired. This new development has given Lavanya more time, but her addiction to coffee remained. She spends most of her new free time studying. High school was quickly coming to an end and Lavanya still had a big question in front of her. She could either work hard and get scholarship to go to college, enter the military like her father did, or stay at home to help out with the bakery.

Lavanya isn't one to listen to authority. The only one she really listens to is her father because he's the only one who has earned her respect. While she really wants to please him, she also isn't opposed to breaking a few rules and trying new things out. To her, it's better to ask for forgiveness than for permission. As long as she doesn't die, her father will forgive her for most things. Lanvanya, on the other hand, has a more difficult time forgiving those who have earned her trust. Unless they apologize, she will refuse to talk to them. Because of this she has ended up burning more bridges than she can count. She has enough of fake smiles and niceties at the bakery especially since those kind of people always end up fucking over her dad's business.

▼ A B I L I T I E S / S K I L L S:

^{"I can't change into a person I don't want to be."}

//ABILITIES:

◼ ULTRAVIOLET MANIPULATION | Lavanya is able to control ultraviolet light. She has yet to discover this power, but is unconsciously able to attract UV light during times of emotional stress. Lavanya is also resistant to the bad effects of ultraviolet light. This means that she doesn't get sun burns or skin cancer for being out in the sun for too long. She also produces a lot of vitamin D and therefore has strong bones. She has never broken or fractured a bone in her life. Lavanya also rarely gets sick from bacterial infections. Her body fights these infections by concentrating UV light onto it, and therefore killing it.

Eventually, Lavanya will be able to control what kind of UV she is using, UVA, UVB, or UVC. She will be able to cause sunburns, blindness, and potentially skin cancer. However, her powers could also be used for more convenient things like tanning, disinfecting, and helping improve vitamin D production.

//SKILLS:

◼ Athletics | Lavanya is more on the agility side of athletic than strength. She has pretty good dexterity due to the various sports she's been in.

◼ Weaponry | Lavanya knows how to use guns from her father teaching her, but her aim isn't always the best.

//LIMITATIONS:

◼ UV Storage | Lavanya has to absorb and store UV light in order to be able to produce it. However, after time, this store is used up by her own body and diminishes. This skill can be improved upon, and depends on the intensity of the UV light that day. At high UV indexes, Lavanya can store up to a half hours worth of UV light. This then slowly diminishes over the course of 2 hours, if she doesn't use it.

//WEAKNESSES:

◼ Novice | Lavanya is inexperienced in her powers. She has also never been in a physical fight, so while she knows some self defense, executing it is a different story.

◼ Sunlight | Lavanya is most power outside in the sun. Unless she has prepared before hand and soaked in the sun for awhile, she's pretty useless inside. She is also almost always unable to use her powers at night.

◼ Offense | Lavanya's powers aren't inherently offensive. They can only cause long lasting and sometimes permanent damage, but nothing to ultimately kill an opponent. Therefore, her skill would be more useful in something such as torture or punishment rather than combat.

▼ N O T E S:

---

//SUPPORTING CAST:
▼ ALLIES

◼ TBD | Test

▼ FAMILY

Family

◼ Sanjay Kapadia | Lavanya's Father and inspiration. Sanjay is a hard worker and family man above all. He and Lavanya spend lots of time together cooking and baking both for the shop and for themselves. They're fairly close and love watching and critiquing soccer teams. They both get a kick out of how the players fall over rolling in pain if an opponent even brushes against them.

▼ FRIENDS

Friends

◼ Alicia Lorraine | Alicia and Lavanya have been friends since middle school, back before Alicia got a glow up. Now, the girl is flooded with multiple admirers. Even the more popular group have invited her to their table. While Alicia tried to get Lavanya at the table too, but it just wasn't gonna happen, so she ditch them. The two spend lots of time watching and discussing movies as well as people watching. Occasionally Alicia will go on a diet which includes trying to exercise with Lavanya, but ultimately falls short after a few weeks. The two are comfortable enough with each other to simply chill on their phones when they hang out.

◼ Lea Carney | Awkwardly enough, the two met in high school when Lea tried to ask Lavanya out. However, the two barely knew each other from a few classes together, so she was turned down. In an effort to get to know Lavanya better, they began hanging out and developed a strong friendship. Lea is a hopeless lesbian romantic. Usually Alicia is the one to give romantic advice to Lea while Lavanya rolls her eyes and suggests something absurd like arm wrestling for affection. Lea and Lavanya usually spend time out and about since Lea likes shopping and Lavanya is pretty good at carrying bags. The two also swap cute animal videos with each other.

▼ ENEMIES

Enemies

◼ Noah Hadwin | Noah is constantly pestering Lavanya to join the school's track team. She's not sure why it matters to him since the boys and girls teams are separate, but she continually avoids him. He doesn't seem to know how to take "no" for an answer since he tries to persuade her by volunteering to do her homework and stopping by the bakery at every possible day. At this point even Lavanya's father knows about him, but doesn't do much since he is a frequent customer.

//STOMPING GROUNDS

◼ The Baking Box | The bakery that Lavanya works at and spends most of her time at.

//PARAPHERNALIA

◼ Knife | A military grade knife given to her by her father

◼ Headphones | Cheap headphones that came with her phone

◼ Water bottle | A blue water bottle to keep her hydrated

◼ Pendent | Her mom's old pendent that contains a picture of both her parents

Crestwood Hollow - A Superhuman RP

@Lord Wraith Just a quick question, will completed character sheets be submitted via PMs or on the OOC tab? At the beginning of the first post it says to PM them, but in the rules it says to post them in the OOC tab. Or perhaps I'm reading it wrong?
