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
