Introducing...
Name:
Sephora Forrest (pronounced like sapphire except with 'ora' on the end of it instrad on 'ire' and an 'e' instead of the 'i'). Was nicknamed 'Seph' when she actually had friends.
Age:
23; but stopped ageing at 19. Was born on the 7th of November. Scorpio.
Gender:
Female
Species:
Semi-vampire
Birthplace:
Lakes district; England - doesn’t remember which insignificant little village it was.
Ethnicity:
Caucasian
Nationality:
Born in England, grew up in Australia (has an Australian accent)
Blood:
She likes it (favourite types are the AB's, and is very fussy); seriously though, both parents were muggles.
Relatives:
She promptly refuses to remember her parents, and ever since she went rogue, has not once mentioned their names. This is so that perhaps when she is hundreds of years old she hopes that she truly won’t be able to remember them.
Pets:
Doesn't like pets - she killed her goldfish when she was five and has never gone back there. Besides animals don't like her much...
Appearance
Picture:
Hair Colour:
Jet black. It’s straight and jet black. It falls just past her shoulders usually. She hates wearing it up too.
Eye Colour:
An icy blue; looks like she is shooting daggers if she glares at you. They tend to look a bit like frosted gemstones (if that makes sense).
Build:
Extremely slender; but mildly curvy and attractive at the same time.
Skin Tone:
Extremely pale; like all the blood has been removed from her body. During the day however she put make up on to disguise this.
Height:
5”5
Dress Style:
Black; to put it simply. She never wears anything colourful, except for red things. Tends to stick to blacks and greys though. Likes to wear slinky little numbers; shirt dresses and tights, so that she can attract men’s eyes. Loves boots and high heels; and owns a pair of her own knee highs. Never seems to feel the cold as much as normal humans do; so wearing skin tight clothing doesn’t bother her even in the coldest winters, so long as she has some insulation to keep the heat in.
Specifics:
Um, well she’s attractive for a start. Really attractive. Has attracted the attentions of men her entire life, and she hates them! But a major thorn in her side is that she is well, not exactly well endowed. As her vampire hormones kicked in at the same time as her normal human ones did; she stopped growing at 19, and because she was a late bloomer is now rather flat chested. Sephora’s eyes are really… intimidating, too. If looks could kill… she would have a lot easier time finding meals to put it mildly.
In Front Of Friends
Sexual Orientation:
Heterosexual
Self Image:
She is a very unhappy character to say the least. She hated herself for being born and surviving and hated what she had become; even supressing her hunger at the beginning. Now however she views herself as rather superior to everyone else since she's more used to her life and what she is.
To the Outward Eye:
Intimidating? Attractive? Arrogant? Haughty? Scary? The list goes on, depending on who it is who sees her and when the see her. She is very unpredictable though, like a loose cannon, and you never know what she's going to do. Her mood swings tend to be rather random as well; they change like the weather.
Social Status:
Very much a loner, she has no friends and usually doesn’t keep any she makes for very long. Most would just assume that she is one of those gothic girls who hate the world and brood all the time, so no one really bothers her. She actually finds socialising tiresome, so she doesn't get out much or go out of her way to talk to strangers unless she's hungry.
Other (Vampy Things):
Senses: Sephora has heightened senses (sight, hearing etc.) compared to a human but definately not on the smae level as full blood vampires. She also has elevated strength, and she's pretty quick too.
Sunlight: The sunlight does not affect her as severely as true vampires, but she doesn't like it either. her skin burns easily and bright lights hurt her eyes.
Healing: She has much faster healing than your average human, but slower than that of a full blood vampire. She is much more vungerable than a true vampire, because of this slower healing; and there are some things that she would die from before she had a chance to heal that wouldn't kill a full vampire. She is also immune to disease.
Holy Object: These do not affect her as the affect normal vampires; sure she can fell if they're anywhere near her, but they don't burn her skin if you poke her with them. It feels rather more like someone jabbed her in the kidneys; or a mild electric shock. Not exactly pleasant.
Spells: These affect her like anyone else. She's not a true vampire... for the moment at least.
Positive Traits:
Negative Traits:
Skills:
Plays the piano real well. Other than that? She’s good at flirting, if that’s a skill. She’s pretty good at hunting down humans too. Heightened senses (hearing, vision etc.) like vampires, only not quite so accute. Her strength is also more than that of a human, but not at the insane levels of a pure vampire. She's pretty quick too, to say the least.
Likes:
- Blood - Because she’s a vamp
- Brooding - Because she likes to think the world hates her so that she can hate the world
- Yelling at people - Because she likes arguing and yelling can help release pent up anger
- Fighting against lesser opponents - Because they’re pushovers
- Sleeping in - Because every girl likes her beauty sleep
.
Dislikes:
- Men - Because it was a male vampire who bit her mother, and caused her in turn to become a vampire
- Anything pointy that could kill her - Because she doesn't want to die
- Green Vegetables - Because they’re green and taste foul
- Happy go lucky people - They make her sick (figuratively)
- Having to eat things she doesn’t like (eg. green vegetables) - Does anybody actually like this???
- Sunlight, because it hurts her eyes and gives her sunburn
- Smelly things - They make her nose burn and eyes water, and generally feel sick
World Passing By
History:
Poor Sephora hasn’t had a very nice life. Before she was even born, her mother and father’s house was attacked by a seriously hungry, seriously angry vampire who then proceeded to kill her father but decided that he liked her mother and bit her to change her. Only problem was that Sephora’s mother was heavily pregnant at the time, and died during childbirth after not making the change to a vampire. Sephora’s aunt took her in and never told her how her mother and father had really been killed; saying that they had been killed in a car accident. Who would believe that their parents had been killed by a vampire anyway?
But as the years went by; and Sephora entered her teens, it became apparent that she had not been unaffected by her mother’s bite. She grew irrationally angry; lashing out at people with very little provocation, and started eating only meat, often raw. And then her teeth started growing. Her aunt was terrified, but she couldn’t bear to abandon what had become like her daughter. A wizarding family lived next door, and asked to see Sephora several times, but each time her aunt told them that she was out. Eventually, they had to move away from Australia and back to England, to avoid being discovered.
Sephora had calmed down by this point, but her moods were far darker and she had no friends. She spent most of her time in her room; but occasionally when her aunt knocked, there was no answer, but she couldn’t be sure if Sephora was asleep or wasn’t actually in her room anymore, since she always locked her door from the inside. One day, Sephora refused to come out of her room on so many occasions and when he aunt was banging and yelling and screaming. Finally Sephora’s aunt broke down the door with a baseball bat only to find that Sephora had vanished without any warning and without leaving a note. Her aunt has not seen Sephora since.
Sephora actually integrated herself with the wizarding world after that, since it made her ‘unusual’ behaviors harder to pick up. Always staying on the fringes of society, she one day accidentally bumped into her uncle (on her father's side). He told her about what really happened to her parents, since he thought that she knew.
Her mother and father had lived together in a little cottage together and the male vampire who's name was unknown, worked with her mother. He had been admiring her from a far when she got married to Sephora's father. When Sephora's parents revealed that they were going to have a child, the male vampire hunted them down in the dead of night and killed Sepora's father in cold blood, intending to take her mother for himself, since he liked her blood and her body. But something went wrong during the change, and deciding that she was a lost cause, the vampire left Sephora's mother to bleed out and die; after going into premature labor with her. Sephora was found by the police soon after and was given to her aunt to raise.
Since that day, Sephora has held a deep, dark hatred for all men, and only hunts them. It was easier anyway, since you could only seduce a man into letting him drink your blood if you were female. Or if the guy was gay. She refuses to drink the blood of children too, since she views them as ‘innocent’. Unlike quite a few vampires, she actually has a conscience about killing women and children, so the students at Hogwarts are safe. The adults however…
Roleplay Sample:
The moon was almost full, lighting up the snowy landscape with a mysterious silvery glow. There was still rambunctious noises echoing from out of the pub’s open door, but there were a few extremely drunk men lying about on the sidewalk, so out of it that they didn’t even notice the cold. A shadow dropped silently from the overhanging veranda, and right in front of there eyes materialized a beautiful, raven haired young woman. Even in their drunken states, the men noticed this. A couple of them made very slurred, barely recognizable, suggestive comments, but the woman took no notice of them.
She walked down the line, sniffing at each of them ever so delicately until she finally found one that she liked. She smiled, and if these men had known better, or possibly been able to lift their bodies off the pavement, they would have run screaming. Her teeth were perfect, whiter than anyone could imagine, but it was her canines that were the most disturbing, for they were curved, pointed and sharp. She had fangs.
The woman grabbed the cuff of the man’s shirt and hoisted him off the ground with about as much effort that one uses for lifting a sack of potatoes. The other drunks just laughed loudly; ignoring the fact that such a petite little person had just lifted someone who was probably twice her weight with a single hand. She then jumped back upwards to the veranda she had dropped from, using the footholds provided by the building's sorry brickwork, moving so fast that the drunks never saw her go; and taking the man with her.
Away over the rooftops she went; her enhanced eyesight making the poor half light no challenge to see in. She reached the edge of the village, climbed down a previously placed ladder, and then proceeded to drag him behind her as she raced through the snow to a skeletal forest; where the tree’s branches were bare. Once she was sure that no one would see her, she threw the guy up against a tree. She then kneeled down beside him and opened her mouth slightly and went for his neck; almost looking as if she was going to kiss him. The man made some excited noises and tried to move towards her, but she simply slapped him; hard and digging her sharp nails in. He howled in pain for a second, before she smacked her hand over his mouth and sneered at him in an annoyed voice, “Oh do shut up!” And then she began to feed.

Positive Traits:
- Determined - Sephora is a girl who knows what she wants. You may not nessisarily know her exact intent, but she sure will, and will not act until she has made up her mind, so she usually doesn't do stupid things from acting rashly.
- Perserverance - She never gives up. Depending on who you are and whose side you're on, this could be a good or bad thing.
- Observant - Almost nothing escapes her notice, and even before she began to recieve her vampire senses she noticed things that no one else did as a child
- Insightful - She has an amazing ability to read people and different situations and moods.
- Intelligent - She’s not thick people, and she’s cunning too!
- Creative / Resourceful - Can make the best of a bad situation, and is excellent at improvising. A bit of an opportunist, since she doesn't answer to anyone except herself and her own adgenda.
- Some form of conscience - Only if you are a woman or a child though. She cares very little about men.
Negative Traits:
- Deceitful - Rarely ever does she tell the truth, since her whole life she has kind of had to lie to avoid awkward questions
- Backstabbing - You most definitely do not turn your back to her if you want to live
- Vicious - Slightly unstable when it comes to her temper, which leads to… messy dinners
- Exploitive - Uses her body to attract men in and then sucks their blood
- Spiteful - Cross her and she will never forget it. Usually doesn't give second chances, and there is very little grey when it comes to her reationships. She either likes you or hates you. Mostly the latter.
Skills:
Plays the piano real well. Other than that? She’s good at flirting, if that’s a skill. She’s pretty good at hunting down humans too. Heightened senses (hearing, vision etc.) like vampires, only not quite so accute. Her strength is also more than that of a human, but not at the insane levels of a pure vampire.
