STYLE Rarely will Alexandra dare to step out of her comfort zone - especially with clothing. She absolutely adores staying with fashion though, and can often be seen wearing a dress with leggings, and refuses to wear sweats except when she's sleeping, and only if she should get cold. Shoes vary, though she isn't a big fan of the heels, so she sticks with boots if she can and if they match her outfit - except for the one pair of shoes where she likes to build outfits around them. Accessories are somewhat of a thing for her, she does like to mess with her hair quite a bit, but she isn't one to dazzle others with thousands of bracelets - no - it's just not her. If someone else wants to, they can go ahead and do it, but that could just get messy with her magic and such. When it comes to her face and make-up, she doesn't go heavy on it, but rather enjoys the mostly natural look, hardly ever wearing eyeshadow unless it's for a special event, like a wedding or something. Lipstick is a weird word in her vocabulary, but she can be seen once in awhile wearing a soft pink along her lips. Blush, doesn't exist for her, she tends to blush a lot so she figures she has the natural blush thing going on. As mentioned earlier, accessories, jewelry included isn't big and flashy for bracelets, necklaces - sometimes - varying on her outfit especially, though she is fashion conscious, she doesn't spend every penny buying clothing - though that can sometimes is changed.

OVERALL
You know those things that say, describe yourself in one word? That's not possible for Alex. She appears to even suffer from a personality disorder, most likely double personalities, because when she's out and about, she has higher confidence in herself and others than when she's back at her place, and she becomes much quieter at home, while out, she'll strike up a pleasant conversation with about anyone. Or maybe that's her being paranoid, which wouldn't be uncommon. Oh yeah, she was raised also with five other brothers and sisters - she was the youngest - is the youngest, pardon. Alex has confidence in herself and her siblings, though it wavers, especially depending on what her brothers and sisters are doing, because she lets what they're doing, influence what she does sometimes, unless she sees something she knows she won't like, and goes off to find something that will suit more to her tastes.

Wallflower? Yeah right. Alexandra will be out on the dance floor having fun, whether or not she is with someone or not. Course once she gets tired she'll come off to hang out, but she rarely will stand on the sidelines. She likes to jump in, but before she does that, she always looks to see if anyone will cause potential harm to herself, themselves or anyone around them. Paranoid? Somewhat, she just likes to be sure she knows what she's doing before she jumps into something, instead of like her closest sibling, Wren who tends to jump without looking, which is probably half the reason why he almost got caught by the tides when he was 14 because he didn't bother to calculate the waves and such before he just jumped in off the cliffs.

OVERALL
It was a nice day in Thessaloniki, Greece, with Aleta and Stefan, high school sweethearts walking along, holding their hands, the very pregnant Aleta evident to the world. They had been together for fifteen years, and had five children to the bunch. Stefan's father, a political figure in Greece, had hired a nanny to occasionally watch their children, such as today. Aleta then went into labor out in the city, and Stefan called an ambulance to take them to the hospital in order to deliver their sixth and final baby. While Aleta was being set up, Stefan called the house, where he knew his children were. Eleni, his oldest at 11 years answered, knowing it was her father. He beamed and told her rapidly, her baby sister was coming, and to get the other kids ready with their nanny, Jasmine, an American immigrant. Jasmine and the four other kids got there, with a 16-month old Wren in Jasmine's arms as they appeared in the waiting room, while their mother, Aleta nearby was delivering their baby sister. Eleni was purely excited to have another younger sibling, and within 16 hours of having gone into labor, Aleta delivered Alexandra Jacey to the world. The couple was thrilled their daughter was healthy, even if slightly thin, but that was to be expected due to being two weeks early. Nevertheless, Aleta got to hold her baby daughter before they whisked her to another part of the room to check on the baby, who was crying, but softly - as if she just felt like crying to let them know she was alive and breathing.

Course, life was slightly difficult for them with five children, Aleta didn't work except on the weekends, when Stefan had his days off - from his job as a lawyer at least. Aleta worked as a dental hygenist on the weekends, letting her husband take the reins while she worked 10-hour shifts. This took its own little toll on the newborn Alex. She was raised a lot by her eldest sister, Eleni as well as the 8-year-old Hermia who enjoyed keeping an eye on Wren, Adrian and Zander while Eleni tended to the baby. Their father, though around, was distant in his own way, this Alex noticed as she got older and older. Like all their other children, Stefan and Aleta raised Alex on both Greek and English, since they wanted her to have her roots, but also to be able to communicate in a world where English was becoming pretty dominant. The one thing they quickly noticed about Alexa, was how she picked up both English and Greek moderately well, but how even when she was 4 and 5, how she could distinguish between them easily and swap between them herself moderately well - for a four or five year old. Even with her language skills sprouting when she was young, Alexandra began to notice how she would need to start protecting herself when she was at school, since her siblings wouldn't always be around to help her, and granted Eleni was 11 years older than her, at 16, when Alex was only 5, she was taken to school by her older sister, which she thought was absolutely awesome, since Aleta let Eleni drive her car since Aleta would stay home, and when Alex turned 7, she took her job only on the weekends, to the weekdays as well.

Personally Alex didn't like this, but she lived with it. Instead she dove into her studies, and gave Jasmine, their nanny stuff to do. Jasmine remained with them while her Visa went through, right now able to live here due to her working for Stefan and Aleta, taking care of their kids sometimes, helping out. Aleta helped with sciences, maths and such, while Stefan would help them with english, theory and all the liberal arts. Alex drew away from her siblings when she was about 11, when Eleni moved out, being 22. The eldest sister gave her baby sister a necklace with a pearl in it, telling her that it had special powers. Granted at this time, Alexa had no idea what her parents were, same with her other siblings as well. Alexa witnessed her siblings leave, and when Jasmine received her Visa, she took her leave, especially since the kids were getting older. She promised to stay in contact with them after she left. She never did. Alexandra continued to see her older siblings move out and such, and she began to get nervous. What about her? They always came back, especially for her 13th birthday, where she got some weird stuff. A book filled with Greek and other languages, and a book with spells as well, and tips and such. Worried, she asked her parents and siblings what this all was, and that's when they announced it to her. She was a witch, just like they all were. Wonderful. She had been raised believing she was just a normal kid, until bam! They hit her in the face with this.

Even though Alexandra had her 14-year-old brother, Wren with her a lot, she still didn't like the thought of being the youngest, and wrestled with him to get more of their parents' attention. Fortunately, the 16-year-old Zander would often take Wren and Alexandra out a lot while their parents worked, since they were also scared - though would never admit it - of all their children leaving. With the three of them, and Adrian, who was 19 and soon moving out to go to college in Chicago, the States, Alexandra wanted to go with him. She wanted out of Thessaloniki, and she spoke to her parents about it at dinner. Her mother was understanding and supported her decision to go to school in the States, though her father wasn't so certain. He understood, but from his beliefs, America was dangerous. Stubbornly, the 13-year-old then demanded it, and begged and started making deals that she'd come home when she could. After a good few months of begging them, they finally decided she, and Zander and Wren too, could move to America with Adrian. With a price. Their parents had to go with them and pick out a house for them all to live in.

Reluctantly, the four children agreed, and Alexandra packed up her witch stuff. See, she was popular for the most part, since she kept her witch stuff and pagan-like stuff tucked away from others' eyes. When she had a friend over, she would often stuff her things underneath her bed in order to keep it hidden and not to look like a freak. Maybe she would find someone like her in America, and not related to her, like a sibling or a cousin, but a good friend who could understand her powers with magic and such. Nevertheless, they all went to America for a three-week "vacation" though in the end, the children all remained there, while Adrian attended a local university and worked, Zander got a part-time job at a record store, and Wren, just 15 even got a job at a fast-food store, with Zander taking him, since he worked right down the street from where Wren worked. That meant Alexandra was home alone a lot when she was 13, 14, 15 and 16. This was when the boy started to get involved in her life. Her first official boyfriend was James, who befriended her in school, and they soon started hanging out at the small town-house their aunt had loaned them. Course when the 14-year-old would bring even a guy friend over for studying, her brothers swooped in like a trio of hawks, wanting to guard their precious baby sister from any other males who dared to enter her life. Alexa always rounded them up, and she then started dating James when she turned 15. She hid her witch abilities from him, though when he was gone, she'd often practice with Wren, Zander and Adrian when they were all home, all day Sundays and sometimes all days Tuesdays, except for her high school classes as well as those of Wren. She practiced her magic spells and such, and soon when James came over one time, she realized how much she really liked him - even if she was just 15, she felt much more - mature than before.

Needless to say, with James being a year older, they remained dating till she was 16 and got her license, as well as a temporary Visa for her and her brothers to live in the States, half-way to becoming citizens, Alexa broke up with James the moment her life was turning, as her parents wanted her back in Greece, to live with them. Yeah right. She liked it here too much. She had so much more freedom, and with a new part-time job at Pier 1, she wasn't willing to give anything up. This was when she met Isaac at her job, he had come in and they started chatting, Isaac was 18 when they met, and the two started seeing each other. Alexa let him meet Wren, her closest brother, who understood and seemed to like Isaac, since she adored him. Course, Isaac started to ignore her, since he was entering college soon, and Alexa felt - betrayed. James was there to support her. James texted her a lot, and they spent some nights together, just playing video games or what-ever, till one night when she was at his house, and they slept together. Needless to say, Alexandra felt absolutely horrible and left rapidly the next morning back to her place, coming up with an excuse saying she had been at her friend, Georgia's house for the night. That same day, after 6 months, she broke up with Isaac, and remained in contact with James. Course she moved here, and broke up with James, knowing it was just a fling between them. She has a part-time job here now, and is taking online classes before she can actually get into college - hopefully. Her magic has increased, and she constantly finds ways to make herself more powerful - within reason. Alexandra works part-time as a hospital receptionist and translator for-hire throughout the area. She keeps her witch-side a secret, this war is brewing, and she doesn't want any part of it.

RP SAMPLE

Christian heard Iris's movements, as she took Eli into his room, the dog Rain eagerly following them so she could commence her nightly duties. The Golden Retriever cast a look back to Christian silently, before disappearing into the child's room. Unknown to them, Eli drew animals to him, the good ones at least, like dogs, cats and rabbits, and Rain - she just adored the little boy. Licking him through the bars on his crib, the dog turned to face Iris as she left, returning back out to where Christian was. Where he had heard her speak, "Mommy" wouldn't let anything happen to him. She hadn't mentioned his name. A quiver flowed through his body before he could do anything about it, whether or not Iris saw it, he placed his face onto his arms, wanting to hide his eyes from the world. He just wanted to hide from the world for awhile. Let time continue to flow on by, while he remained stilled in it. The bruise on his chest was already beginning to heal, and he could feel his few cracked ribs heal as well. Those were the painful ones. Next time, he promised himself, if he ever ran into Aiden again, he'd break his nose and both of his arms. A dark look painted his features, though it was hidden to everything and everyone except his own mind due to his arms. Yes, Aiden would pay dearly for this. Camile was never mentioned between him and his parents. His parents had adored Camile, though when some pure-bloods got wind of it, they had wanted to destroy it, unless Christian was willing to change her. But he hadn't wanted that, they had run, but they had managed to track them. Suddenly, something wet hit his sleeve. What the hell was that? Wide-eyed, he realized with a pang, a tear escaped him. Anger overwhelmed the grief that ebbed through his body a mile a minute, and his fangs elongated.

The moment he realized Iris was back here, he looked up, eyes meeting hers. Something he wished he hadn't done. In that moment he could feel all her emotions and her thoughts crash into his head. A soft groan escaped his chest and he raised a hand, wrapping his fingers along his temple softly, her thoughts. Camile. Aiden. Camile. Mistake. Him. Them. Closing his eyes, he heard her breathing change, and immediately realized she was by him. But not as close as she usually was. Hesitating, the vampire's fangs disappeared from his momentary lapse of anger earlier, when he heard her cry. That was one thing that made him want to die. Iris sobbing, her fears and everything coming out in a form he had never wanted to see. And he had brought this on. Aiden had brought this on. As she had stood up, Christian then shortly followed, remaining silent, dark eyes locking onto hers, before he then approached her, and placed both his arms on either side of her, allowing the darkness to consume them as the sun vanished into the horizon, bringing on the nighttime. The vampire supported himself just an arm's length from Iris, and he spoke softly, looking down to the floor, his voice soft enough so that Iris could hear, but like if anyone else was there, they wouldn't be able to hear, "Iris...I won't ever hurt you." he responded to her about him delivering death. "Why do you think I didn't even allow myself to touch your scrape the first night we met? You're training me without doing anything but being you."

He dropped his arms, and straightened his form, watching her. He wanted to comfort her. God he really wanted to. But it felt as if there was a barrier now. Like he couldn't touch her without paying the price. Adam and Eve. The Golden Apple, the ones forbidden to be eaten, but yet, the temptation was so strong. Hesitating, Christian then stepped up to Iris, gently closing the space between them, no matter what she did, he'd still go till he stopped, only a few inches from her. Without thinking, his lips pressed softly against her forehead, before he spoke, hardly realizing what he had said, "I'm going to do what is best Iris...for you and Eli." He whispered, before taking a step back, and turning to his side, fishing in his pocket as he walked up to where they kept their keys sometimes. Swift hands then replaced his car key onto her keys, and he spoke, "It's yours." A gift. A parting gift. Turning back to her silently, he had made his decision. It would be best for both of them. For all of them, plus - to protect Iris from others like Aiden. "I never should have asked you, Iris." he spoke, his voice betraying his collected stature, inside, he felt like he was falling apart, as if someone was taking a chisel and cutting away pieces of him. "I regret it...and I am so, so sorry for putting you in that position, beautiful Iris."

Beautiful. Stunning. Human. Christian eyed her intently, before he then inhaled slowly, looking to Rain, whose head was poking out of Eli's room, his mind reeling. Rain would stay here. She liked Eli too much, and he didn't want to have to take her with him where he was going. She'd probably enjoy it somewhat, but here she had Eli, Iris and tons of room to explore every day when she was let out to go to the bathroom. Dark eyes landed on the floor, where he and Aiden both landed. Checking his bruise, it was pretty much gone, Christian then placed down cash, which he had gotten from his wallet, where he always kept a decent amount. "Have someone repair the floors....." He sighed softly, before lifting his gaze, looking to Iris silently, then opened his mouth, and spoke, "I....I'm leaving Iris....I'm moving to Saumur."
