WIP
Name: Silvia Ann Hanson
Nicknames: Sil, Silvi.
Age: Twenty something forever.
Gender: Female
Height: 5'3''
Body: Thinner side of healthy..
Voice: A gentle voice with the slightest accent not entirely placeable right off the bat, but one might associate it with the early Americas.
Scent: Some kind of perfume that is reminiscent of honeysuckle.
Hair: A rose gold color, more on the gold side with some sickly red tinge.
Eyes: Very wide, open, and blue. The blue in her iris is something nearly translucent when light hits it correctly. Yellow when hungry, feeding, etc.
Skin: Pale, and nearly flawless save for those two savage scars upon the right side of her neck.
Skills & Trades: Looking to learn.
From the outside..Way too bright and bubbly for something dead. Isn't t always funny, when someone is very oblivious to something painfully obvious? Silvi smiles a great deal, and her laughter can often be heard brightening up the halls and gardens. She's free, that much is obvious by her clothing and the finery of her perfume, but Silvi seems to content herself with getting to know anyone regardless of their social status.
She keeps her happiness on her person like one of those exciting secrets she can't wait to share. Obviously not a native. When not seen exploring and being generally inquisitive, she can be found playing violin in the study, the den, or the gardens. It seems like she's got quite the knack for music.
Inwardly- She's naive, but she's confident. Careful and intelligent but still young and foolish in the right sets of situations. Shy, to a degree but not a wilting flower. Easily excited and someone who romanticizes the concept of adventure very much so. In love with the pursuit of knowledge, even if it is just a distraction from her "sickness." Silvi has no idea she's dead, no idea that her treatments involve consuming human blood. How could she be so cheerful and blissful, otherwise?!
Even if she's face deep in symptom studies and medical mystery compendiums when no one is looking, her naivety about the world around her is costing Silvi the chance at seeing what's right in front of her. That's the secret side, beyond the ever showing search for entertainment, there is an internal thirst for answers.. Silvia doesn't think that her inherent innocence is at all a weakness, in fact she's seeking to broaden her horizons about the world. Guildereim is much bigger than the settlement she was from, and there is so much here to learn. So yes, she's a sweet girl with too much heart for her own good, from the colonies..but, it might be safe to say the world is lacking in what she has right now. -
This space is empty for now, but Sil is looking to learn as many useful skills and tradecrafts as she can. Determined not to grow into a sitting housewife, or a career "mother" like many women who are born or married into money. She's simply not content with her arleady small skillset and is looking to expand it any way possible. Her family's money is all made on the premise of human/otherkin trafficking and Sil, being a hard headed person doesn't want a dime of that. She wants her own career..just doesn't know what it is yet! You can take a look at the SEEKING category for skills I'd really like her to learn, but she'll learn anything. Willing to trade her own knowledge, and maybe a bit of coin for some of yours!

SILVI HAS NO IDEA THAT SHE IS A VAMPIRE!
Any attempts to outright spoil it for her will just be met with dismissive laughter. She believes, as her uncle puts it..that she is the carrier of a rare blood condition. It requires treatment every few days. (I.E, being fed human blood with dye and laudanum in it.) Sil hasn't gone long enough without feeding to lose herself to hunger. (That she can recall) Whenever her 'symptoms' arise, (Sun allergy, Silver Allergy, Rose allergy, bloodlust fits, fangs, etc..) Uncle gives her laudanum or ether, usually she doesn't get far enough from his side to experience "spells" as she calls them without immediate intervention.
Sired by tragedy and malice, the plucking of innocence and the tempest that is jealousy.. Silvi doesn't have a sire, or a mentor when it comes to what she is. Only her uncle who treats her newfound adaptations and predilections like a scientific curiosity. Though he is well aware of what Silvia is, she's not. Confusing changes in thought patterns, sleep patterns, sensory perception leave her hunting for answers when she can get away from the oppression of her keeper. But it might do her some good to have a friend in fang.
The low points of the grave.
Silvia is, naturally allergic to sunlight. It's painful, it slows her. Direct, immediate exposure won't fry her but it is quite unplesant so she avoids it so much as possible. Usage of umbrellas on particularly overcast days is alright for her. But to go out into the direct sun..is just understandably not on her to do list!
In the category of things which are no longer enjoyable, silver is one! Silver causes burns to the skin, a slowing of her healing factors, and if introduced internally can severely harm and even kill her. (Silver bullets, daggers, etc.)
Can still eat human food, and enjoy drinks too. However..food is nearly all unpalatable and she will often 'forget' to eat..just because the stench of rot and death on things which include meat, eggs and dairy makes her feel physically ill. Not much of an appetite for that lately..
No heartbeat, though Uncle assures her it's just very faint due to her condition.
Roses, rowan wood, holy water.. need I go on?
The highest spires in the churchyard.
Species information and abilities will be placed here, but until proper tutelage is found, it's safe to not put them here at all..since she's got no idea how to use or find any of it!
So for now, a simple summary will do.
Capable of both reflection and shadow, unable to fly, fangs are materialized and not ever present, enhanced senses, eventual "influence", telepathy.. more to be decided.
