Lena nodded slightly towards each of them, a mix of moroi and dhampir, before introducing herself. "Yes, I'm Lena. Lena Szelsky." She informed them, looking at the boy with his head atop of one of the girl's. He seemed overly familiar with her, much to her discomfort, something that intrigued Lena.
"You don't look so comfortable there." She teased with a small smile, in an attempt to ease the poor girls' tension, or make the boy pull away. Still, they did not seem to be particularly disgusted by what may have been a display of odd affection.
Elliott was startled by the girl, but broke out in to a smile quickly. "No problem, I should've been looking where I was headed!" He grinned as he shook her hand. "I'm Elliott, by the way. It's a pleasure to meet you, Eliza." He hoisted the backpack back on to his shoulder, before gesturing for her to lead the way for both of them. It was nice, at last, to have someone there to joke with after the endless travel. The school was huge, and seemed rather daunting when facing it alone for the first time.
"Yeah, that might be helpful. It'll stop me crashing in to anyone else, at least." He chattered pleasantly, a faint Irish brogue staining his voice as he did. "You may have averted countless disasters with that." He smiled as he followed Eliza along.

I thought they were talking to Lena? I could have Elliott talk to her if you'd like?
I'm really sorry, but some stuff has come up that means I won't be able to spend as much time on this as I would like to, and so I'll have to drop out. I'm really sorry for any inconvenience.

Posted! I know it's not great, but I hope it doesn't totally suck.
Lena slid calmly out of the cab, picking up a bag in each hand and carrying them inside with ease. She didn't need help, and she didn't want it, either. God forbid that anyone should offer. They were mostly all inside, her parents had been fussing with her far too much for her liking, demanding to fly with her to America, even if they would only have to fly back home the day after. But she was there now, and she was overjoyed by it all.
Hurrying to her room quickly, after checking where she was in the dorms but not checking who she was sharing with, she was far too excited for that, she dumped her bags on one of the beds. Unpacking could be saved for later, when people were tired out or doing their own thing. But now, this was what she had been dying to do.
Actually approaching someone proved to be much harder than it ought to have been. She'd studied English for years, perfecting it for when her mother finally agreed to let her leave, and she was royal, they had to treat her with decency, but she was still nervous. She'd never been in a room full of people her own age before. So putting a grin on to her brave face, she started to approach a group of people, laughing and joking with each other.
"Good afternoon!" She greeted, the smile firmly fixed on her face.

Elliott didn't have much to carry in to the school. Just a killer backpack weighing him down as he found his way in, baffled by where he was supposed to be going and praying he didn't end up looking like the school idiot as he tried to find his way around.
One hand ran through his hair as he glanced around, muttering to himself about how stupid he felt stood there, waiting for somebody to just point him in the right direction as he wandered slowly towards the school. It was just like him to have lost anything the school might have sent to help him find his way when he arrived.

Pft, I like Rattata for Justine. French people always remind me of mice. Idk why. I think I get Rosario Dawson--I didn't know who she was but after a google, she does look like an older version of the picture I used for Lillah.
I think the French-mice association comes from ratatouille, the film with the rat? I know they're not the same thing but it's close enough to a mouse, I suppose? But other than that... I only understand the Hannibal reference, but not why.

Piqsy, your characters are accepted. Alexander does, however share a name with my Aleksander. loliSuspect, your character is accepted but tone down the powers for now since they are still young and only just starting to learn attack magic this year. :)
Oh my god! Sorry! That's what you get for trying to work with a migraine, I'll go and change it, if you'd rather I did?
Edit: Alexander is no longer an Alexander to avoid confusion.
Name: Elliott Mayne
Gender: Male
Race: Dhampir
Age: 18
Ward:
Appearance:
Personality: Elliott isn't bothered about being a "slave", or about politics. He does, however, care about getting girls and having fun. He's a bold character, loving to have fun and make friends with everyone, but will shy away from work sometimes. He is a partier, preferring to joke about a problem than face it properly. He is incredibly ashamed of his past, preferring to gloss over it with a laugh and a shrug.
Background: Elliott was proof of his mother's affair with a rich moroi. This outraged his father, who cast both of them out because of his shame. Elliott's real father paid no interest to the young Dhampir and her child, claiming it was not possibly his, and so the pair moved to rural Ireland, away from the scandal that surrounded them. His mother was slowly turning more and more bitter about being betrayed by the two men, and eventually became a Strigoi. He took that as his chance to leave, joining St Vladimir's and never intending to return.
Name: Lena Szelsky
Gender: Female
Race: Moroi
Age: 17
Guardian:
Element: Air
Unique Abilities: Can move small objects by creating air currents, and can change the air pressure in a small area to stop people overhearing conversations.
Description:
Personality: Lena understands that she is pretty, and isn't afraid to take advantage of the situation with a well-timed kiss on the cheek, and an innocent laugh. She keeps everyone on her good side, if she can, just in case she can find any use for them later. Getting her own way isn't a major priority, but it certainly is a good idea to try and give her what she wants. She's polite and friendly to everyone even if it's only until she has what she wants
Background: Mother and Father Szelsky were always wrapped around Lena's finger. Lena had almost everything she asked for, apart from friends her own age. But when Lena wanted to be sped off to America for school, there was quite an argument. Nevertheless, after years of pestering, she's there. And although it's not quite as exciting as it seemed, she's free of her mother and her meddling.
Hope they're both okay!

Abraham shrugged, a little unwilling to share that information. Things like this, he remembered being told, always stay secret. It wasn't an unpleasant memory, but it was hardly something that would make him smile. "It's a family... Tradition." He murmured eventually, his voice low. It made him sound ashamed of what his family did, and he supposed he was. As far as she was concerned, she'd just witnessed a murder.
"Are you sure you're alright, though?" He asked, remembering her wiping blood off her hands, on to her jeans. "If you need to get checked out, I'll make sure you get there." The offer made him feel sane, like everyone offered to help a girl who had just been attacked to the hospital. She was probably a student, training in something normal. He didn't want to admit his jealousy. He probably shouldn't acknowledge it at all. He should've stayed relaxed, prepared and detached. God forbid that he ever had feelings.
