Target Realm:  HS

Sex: Female

Age: 27 - looks 17ish

Race: Vampire

Height: 5'3"

Weight: 120 - 125 lb in good health

Voice: Quiet, softspoken, serpentine drawls and 
catlike purrs mixed into 
the mischevious tones, usually.

Hair Color: Normally dark brown, nearly black. She 
dyes it white, keeps it 
short and sometimes puts strange rave colors in it.

Eye Color: Steel Blue, a bit on the bright side 
with more frosty blues 
mixed in.

Complexion: Creamy pale white, a few very light
 freckles under her eyes.

Build: Petite, slight curves in the right places, 
her body still looks like 
a teenager. Average small c cup breasts, slight 
hips, not overly muscular 
but toned.

Tattoos/Piercings/Scars/Birthmarks: One long 
thin tribal tattoo across the 
small of her back, very thin and delicate with 
curves and points. Her labia 
is pierced and she usually wears a ring in it or 
a very small stud, nothing 
gawdy. Her ears are pierced several times in each 
and her nipples are each 
pierced. Raiven has a scar over her left 
shoulderblade where she was stabbed 
long ago.

Sexual Preference: Mostly Heterosexual but also 
enjoys a female's body from 
time to time. Rai loves the female form and 
finds it sexy.

Fantasy: Raiven wants to belong. She does a 
lot of dangerous things and 
finds herself with bad crowds often trying to 
fit in somewhere. She wishes 
she was human most times so she could lead a 
normal life like the humans do.

Strengths: Quick and agile, of course. 
Intelligent with the ability to 
fight well in a streetfight. She heals quickly 
from most wounds, a day or 
two and there remains no trace. If it is a 
horrible wound a small scar may 
remain.

Weaknesses: Drugs, slight mental instability, 
blood, gambling, her brother, 
not very physically strong, direct sunlight, 
silver nitrate, and she's very 
scared of being all alone, to the point of 
freaking out completely.

Odd Quirks (if applicable): Raiven is very 
intelligent, but mentally 
unstable. She sufferes from a nice variety 
of mental disorders, but nothing 
too crippling or annoying. Borderline 
Personality Disorder is the prevailing 
diagnosis, characterized by the complete and 
utter fear of being alone, 
slight codependance on others, mood swings, 
difficulty telling people no, 
and doing many things without much forethought. 
Sometimes it comes off as 
childish behavior. Also, she doesn't wear 
shoes very often.

Personality: Nice until you upset her. 
Her attitude has been honed into 
what society expects her to be in the big 
city. Since she looks like a 
teenager, she acts like the teenagers she 
hangs out with so she can fit in. 
Cruel, mean spirited, vulgar, slutty, stupid, 
rebellious party type. It is 
all an act. She is smart and actually enjoys 
things like art museums, 
theater, all kinds of music, learning, reading, 
dancing, animals, etc. She 
attempts to find people like herself to hang out 
with, but there aren't too 
many vampires who enjoy the things she does and 
the humans who are like her 
are...well....human. She just doesn't fit in where 
she wants to so she tries 
to force her personality to fit anywhere she can. 
Raiven doesn't have many 
actual morals and the thin line between 'good' 
and 'bad' have been blurred 
long ago.

Hobbies: Writing, dancing, violin, poker, reading, 
and shooting

Skills: knows how to handle a gun well and likes 
semi automatic rifles - is 
a great shot because of her brother, intelligent, 
versitile, adapts well to 
any situation (except being alone), great vision 
and hearing, dances well, 
great poker player, somewhat apathetic of her 
world - unhindered by too many 
morals. Skill or weakness depending on the 
situation.

Magic (if applicable): N/A

Weapons (if applicable): Usually keeps a 
bootknife or a folding pocket 
knife on her person. Her brother has guns she 
likes to carry when she can 
get them.

Occupation: Night cocktail waitress/barmaid at 
the Kitty Kat Klub, a rather 
fancy gentileman's club that is not without it's 
own scandals and 
debauchery. (When she feels like working an 
'honest' job) On occasion she is 
asked to dance and she does gladly, loving to 
dance, especially with the 
girls on stage. Dancing girls are, after all, 
an art form. Every so often a 
human will her ask her to kill certain 
people for personal gain. On occasion she 
rather enjoys the assassin 
lifestyle and is a cheap killer for hire. 
She would do it anyway, might as 
well get paid.

Background History: 
Raiven was born a twin 
with a brother, older than her 
by three minutes. She was smaller than he, 
but not underdeveloped. They were 
both healthy babies when they emerged into 
the world crying softly in their 
mother's arms. Raiven's mother was very 
young when she got pregnant, a girl 
of only 16 at the time.

Raiven's mother, Selena, was a hardcore drug 
addict and once admitted to the 
hostpital by friends who seen she was in 
labor after getting high, she was 
promptly handcuffed to the bed shortly after 
giving birth to her twin 
babies. She was allowed to see them in 
brief intervals for the three days 
she remained in the hostpital before the
 children were taken by the state 
and Selena was admitted to a rehab clinic.

Selena made feeble attempts to go to classes 
after she was released in order 
to get her children back, but fell into old 
patterns quickly until she was 
put into another clinic in Texas for over 
three years, vanishing from her 
children's lives.

Rai and her brother, Dallas, grew up in the 
care of the state. They lived in 
a group home together until adopted out as 
therepudic foster children. The 
state tried to keep them together as much as
 possible from home to home, but 
at six years old it was difficult to find a 
home that could handle twins and 
eventually her brother was adopted to a family 
across town and a few months 
later she was with another family as far as 
she could possibly be from her 
brother in the same City. They grew up seperately, 
Raiven was adopted three 
more times until she fell in with a permanant 
home and she never heard from 
her brother.

She attended public schools and was raised in 
a middle class home with two 
'parents' who were never too hard on her. Until 
she turned 15 and started 
falling in with the wrong crowd. She got into 
alcohol and drugs trying to be 
cool and make friends, as many teens do, until 
she was hanging out with 
older, more dangerous people. She ran away 
from her comfortable home to live 
with a boyfriend at 17 and found herself 
enamoured with his smooth talk and 
enchanting ways.

Rai found out much too late his true nature, 
the night of her 18th birthday 
he changed her life forever, never would she 
see another sunrise in her 
life, never would she be normal. He took her 
life and started building her a 
new one in his image.

She lived with the vampire for only six years, 
learning their ways and 
making friends in the small circle she had 
been previously unaware of, until 
she found her brother. Mistaking him for 
another idle human, herself and two 
others attacked him in the night. Something 
in his eyes stopped her. Some 
familliar smell. Something  kept her from 
killing the man they found on the 
street that night. She couldn't explain it, 
but it prompted her to protect 
him and start a fight with the vampire she 
called lover. Between herself and 
her brother, the other two vampires fell dead.

Raiven has been living with her brother ever 
since, though many times she 
doesn't go home for weeks at a time.
