Name: Celina Kennedy, Lupin
Age: 17
Nationality: Irish
Description: Well, when you come from a country well known for it's mythos, the concept of grimores and the Pageless doesn't seem so far fetched. A level-headed young woman, Celina is a relatively new magical girl with almost a year under her belt. Caring, but can also be a bit territorial, protective to the ones she grows attached to. Though she does have moments where she loses her temper, she dares not to harm anyone innocent in the process and heavily restrains herself to prevent such an outcome.
Hailing from Dublin, Celina's life growing up was...pretty much normal. She was the middle child, wedged between an older brother and a sickly twin sister, and her parents though busy did their best for their children. They did well in school, they had good friends (except that one time), Celina's brother even got a job at one point. So what could've happened to turn Celina into the red-cloaked Lupin?
For some reason, her twin's condition began to get worse, eventually leaving her hospitalized. The other two siblings did their best to stay by her side while their parents handled most of the medical stuff, borrowing books from the library and helping her around her room. Her sister's condition didn't get worse in their efforts, but it didn't get better either. No one knew what the cause was, and the stress of it began to ignite conflict between Celina's family. She didn't care.
In the dead of night during one visit, Celina woke up to the sound of animalistic growling. At first she assumed it was her mind playing tricks after a dream, but that came into question once she saw the source of the noise. A spine chilling sight, the Pageless bore a similar appearance to a wolf, only...wrong. Terrifying. Yet she didn't scream. For some reason she didn't, even though she was internally panicking at the mere sight of the monster. Becauss it looked like it didn't notice her, or was saving her for later, for it only held grim intentions for the still-sleeping twin. Celina didn't even have to think of why or what it's reason was. It had to go.
She quietly made her way over to a stack of books on the bedside table, and throwing caution to the wind, threw one at the Pageless before it could strike. And once she got it's attention, she kept attacking it, driving it away. Until the last book answered to her desperation, and a small blade took it's place, piercing through the false wolf's flesh. Standing in Celina Kennedy's place was another threat entirely. One who would be known by the moniker Lupin.
The beast was swiftly dealt with, and Lupin dissapeared into the night. She had to learn more about these creatures, this power. And perhaps kill the rest of that one Pageless' pack while she was at it. But Celina did return in the morning before anyone could be concerned. That Pageless. Was it just feasting on her sister's life force, or was it trying to prevent the wrong twin from finding their grimore? Either way, she hoped her sister could recover from that.
After some time had passed, Celina was taken in by the Grand Ministry, and moved to London so she could attend Marrywell Academy. The Ministry themselves, she's mostly indifferent to. Though that's probably because she doesn't have a set opinion on them yet.
Grimoire:
• Title: Little Red Riding Hood
• Classification: Fable
• Description: Little Red Riding Hood is a European fairy tale about a young girl and a Big Bad Wolf. Its origins can be traced back to several pre-17th century European folk tales. The two best known versions were written by Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm, which this Grimore derives from.
• Abilities:
The Wolf - After Little Red had entered the woods, a seemingly innocuous wolf approached her. Lupin adopts the traits of one such wolf to help her in her own hunt. Acute hearing, improved eyesight during night time; essentially giving her night vision, and sharp canines that can tear through flesh of both humans and pageless. Well, under the assumption that the pageless do have flesh.
Lupin's "claws" come in the form of her weapon, a seemingly endless amount of throwing knifes usually stored inside her jacket.
The Hunter - After the Wolf had finished his feast, he fell asleep. He snored so loudly a huntsman followed the sound and cut Little Red and her Grandma free. A passive ability, Lupin's physical prowess is increased whilst she's transformed, letting her take a few more heavy blows than one normally could.
The Hood - The Big Bad Wolf had decieved both Grandma and Little Red, eating them whole after they've let their guard down. Lupin's own hood isn't just for show. It allows her to take the appearance of anyone she gets a good look at. However, the illusion isn't entirely perfect. Perhaps their voice is too high or low, or the color of their eyes are the wrong shade. There will always be something that sets Lupin's disguise apart from the real deal.
