Alt Name: Saundra

A brief description of your character:

Species: Hyooman Vampire
Gender: Female
Age: Appears 22-23
Height: 5'3
Weight: 97 - 102lbs
Eyes: Glowing Bronze
Hair: Reddish brown, medium length, thick and wavy hair.
Skin: Fair, nearly china white.
Scent: Raspberries and Vanilla
Voice: Timid and gentle. There is something melodic about her voice but she isn't very fond of singing. Stage fright. She isn't used to her voice attracting attention but that's what it seems to do sometimes. It can be alluring to some.
Build: Saundra is fit but she doesn't look very muscled. She's not terribly thin though she could perhaps do well off with a little more weight.

" ...This was true, although her porcelain skin might have made her look like a doll, everything else screamed with life; her eyelids would flutter over those glowing eyes that could lure a mortal to the grave, her lips had grown fuller and were as richly red as apples, her cheeks at least at the moment were pink and undoubtedly the fresh blood in her veins would make her buzz with energy. ..." - Quoted from Lucian. :P


Why/How is your character in Skuldhellir:

She is an herbalist/botanist and came to study the plant life in the area. She ran into a pleasant man in the woods and that's where her life ended. Since she has now decided that she can't return to her home town as a vampire, she'll be staying around Skuld, and mostly Lucian if she can help it, until she figures out how her unlife works.

Strengths:
---Natural: A really cute smile. Including some nice, shiny, new fangs of her own.

---Learned: Herbalism and botany. She is very good at making different elixirs and medicines.

---Supernatural: Vampire. ( Turned by Lucian Karnstein )

• - Floating. She can hover a few feet off the ground. Her falling, when controlled and expected, can be slowed so she merely floats down.

• - Feign Death. She can pretend to be completely dead. Cold, no pulse, no breathing.
  (( Of course if anyone watches for a few weeks they'll realize she isn't decomposing... But who'd stare at a corpse that long? Creep.. )
  (( While feigning death she doesn't need to eat because she isn't DOING anything. Therefore she isn't wasting energy. ))

• - She sinks her teeth into any vital vein of her victim to feed. To completely drain something the size of a hyooman might take her an hour if she does it without pausing.

• - She can smell the health 'status' of other creatures. She can tell if they are sick or healthy.

• - Speed. She can move incredibly fast, almost quicker than the eye can follow but only when she's eaten recently. It also uses a great deal of energy which means she'll have to eat again sooner than if she just moved normally.
  (( She's still not aware how to fully control herself, thus Skuld citizens might see her slamming her face into walls quite often... ))

• - Vocals. She's got quite a set of lungs on her. Her voice is appealing and melodic, inviting and alluring. ( So much so it scares her sometimes) She can also scream very well, and far more high-pitched than a hyooman can. Almost like a banshee's shriek except less ugly and scratchy.

• - Eyes. If she concentrates and manages to get someone to gaze into her eyes she could trap them in her stare and lure them closer to herself. Works on animals, too! Almost like a 'hypnotic snake's' stare.

• - (( affects only Lucian )) - She can influence him slightly, as he can influence her as well. In the sense that they listen to each other more than any other beings. Example: One on a rampage would stop to listen to the other and consider their words. They'd be able to calm one another and to a small extent they'd be able to sense each other's emotions. They cannot lie to eachother.

[list][*]- Durability and Strength. She may look small and soft but she has strength far beyond what her size should be capable of. She can't lift something like a one ton boulder. Smaller things like perhaps a bear, yes. Her strength also makes her rather durable. She doesn't bruise easily and her bones are even harder to break. ( comes in handy seeing how she'll be slamming in to walls for a while.. )

Weaknesses:

• - Sunlight. She'll catch fire if she's hit by direct sunlight. Fatal if exposed for more than three minutes... and if the flames aren't put out.
  -- reflections of sunlight will scald her and cause her severe pain but won't kill her.

• - Can't cross running water ( Inherited from Lucian )

• - Need to feed. The longest she can go without eating, before she starts getting 'sick', is about four days.

• - If she doesn't eat in a week she'll start deteriorating. Eating reverses any deterioration that may have occurred.

• - Little control. Since she is newly turned she really doesn't know quite how to handle herself yet. Don't bleed next to her. It's not nice.. For her. Or the bleeder.

• - Fear of fire. She doesn't like the idea of either being burned at a stake or catching fire in the sunlight. So please, keep considerable distance when wielding a flaming object. She's okay around campfires and fireplaces because those things can't generally be chucked at her.

• - Aspen wood. ((Much like Lucian's weakness to Hawthorn, only with Aspen.)) It weakens her to a point but cannot kill her or paralyze her. ( Unless of course you paralyze her by stabbing her heart with an aspen stake. But it still won't kill her. )

• - Puzzle solving. She has to sit down and ponder over something until she figures it out. Such as riddles, untying knots in string, mind bender gadgets ( like separating the two metal rings and putting them back together again ), jigsaw puzzles, etc. She can, doesn't mean she has to instantly, move herself and the puzzle ( if physical ) to a sun-safe place if time is running out, even leaving behind a victim if she has to, in order to have time to solve whatever conundrum she's given.

• Example: Someone throws something at her that has a knotted up string on it. She'll drop whatever she's doing, pick it up and start untying it, walking away mumbling to herself about how to fix it.
  Someone can ask her a riddle to slow her down. She'll keep solving riddles all night but if they run out of riddles to give her then it's too bad for them...
  Also, riddles that have no answer don't work. It has to have some kind of answer. It isn't a real riddle if it can't be solved. If she is given something like this, she says, 'Nothing, there is no answer.' Because that would technically be correct.
