MOUTH AND NOSE BENEATH THE SURFACE

[/color]

EYES: Grey
HAIR: Smooth brown hair that is very agreeable and falls a few inches above her waist.
WEIGHT: 103-110 pounds
HEIGHT: 5'4"
APPEARANCE:

Ara is a petite girl. She is a bit short standing at five foot four but she diesn't let it bother her at all. She looks like a tipical fifteen or sixteen year old girl complete with the curves and breasts and mood swings to go with it. She had been looking forward to the fact that she would get taller and such but that never really came for her. She doesn't complain though. She is also very slim wieghing in at roughly one hundred three and one hundred ten pounds. It does vary depending on her clothes and what she just ate because eventhough she is a vampire she still eats normsl human food. Moving on, her hair is a beautiful brown and is silky smooth. It is straight natually but it is very agreeable and she can do whatever she likes with it. She has put it up in a variety of ways in the past and loves curling it or leaving it normal so that it falls just a few inches short of her waist. Her favorite feature is her eyes. They are a beautiful grey that judt about alway hold a happy look to them. Her brother comented once saying that when she is really really angry they darken and look like storm clouds and now that she is a vampire he said lightning flashes if she is beyond pissed at someone. Also if the moonlight hits her eyes just right her grey eyes look silver.

Ara's clothing varys drasticly. She does have a tendency to dress rather casually, but she dress formally as well depending on the occassion. Her everyday, or rather night, wear is bright cheery colors usually and a variety of bottoms as well. She likes so wear clothes that fit her comfortably and that often means it hugs her figure with out suffocating her. When she does go formal she does a very good job. Of course if she is to go on a nice date she won't dress up in a ball gown but she will dress well. A dress ussually that fits in her comfortable catagory but look classy and such as well. These out fits vary as much as her casual wear does though don't be surprised to see her is many different dresses. Ara pretty much refused to get the symbol of her coven tattooed on her. So she has a sliver necklace with it that she always has at least with her. Another favorite accessory of hers is the coaker with a teardrop sapphire hanging from the center. She doesn't wear it often but it was a gift from her mother and older sister one year for her birthday before they died. Also she has a golden heart-shaped locket with a picture of her whole family ((her parents, both siblings, and her)) on one side and one of her and her brother on the other that she loves and wears often along with her silver necklace.

WEAPONRY:

Uh... Ara isn't really one for fights. She would much rather not harm a single soul at all. If she does get into a fight she would much rather use her vampiric strength to defend herself or her friends and what little family she has left that turn a weapon on her opponent.She doesn't personally own any weapons but her brother has some just because he knows they can be needed at times. So once and a while you can find her with a knife hidden some where on her but only if she is going some where she feels she might need it. And by that I mean she will hide the knife in an easy to reach plance out of sight and all you know a smart place. But ussually she will use her strength. Also she has on a few exteamly rare occasions grabbed a pistol to use but again usually she goes weaponless.

EQUIPMENT:

Does a cell phone count? Well if not oh well it's in here anyway. It is the best way to get a hold of her. She rarly goes anywhere without her phone. So yea. aside from that? Well... let's see... she sometimes has a purse... that comes in handy for many things but again not sure if that counts.

ABILITY:

Ara has healing abilities. But she can't just randomly heal waht ever she wants when ever she wants. If anyone is hurt then she is able to heal it quite easily but it does have it's limits and such. She can only heal id she is touching the injured person's skin. After that she simply has to thing about healing the wound and it gets healed. Of course healing someone comes with a price. She then gains the wound herself. Of course being a vampire it isn't that much of a problem. She can heal in total darkness so that helps her out.

if ever brave enough to stand in their way

PERSONALITY:

Ara is a really nice girl who likes making friends. She is out going in more ways than one. She talks to people a lot and try to become their friends. She also tends to be a bit of a daredevil at times. She likes to have fun and joke around and be random with her friends at every chance possible. But that is just her being fun-loving.

She doesn't fear much at all and never lets anyone push her around and down. She stands up for her and her friends and dislikes being told what to do by thise she doesn't know or if she dislikes them. Also because she doesn't take crap from anyone messing with her friends it earns her enemies. She isn't one for fighting but sometimes reactions get the best of her. She also isn't afraid to punch someone for messing with her or her friends for what ever reason.

This leads to the fact that she is loyal to no end. If you earn her trust and friendship then you won't be losing it any time soon. Of course there is the fact that due to being really nice and sweet and also willing to be friends sets her up for backstabbing and betrayal. She likes to believ she can trust those around her so it really isn't too terribly hard to get her to trust you then you can utterly betray her and hurt her. Of course that does take time. The easiest way to break her is to threaten her older brother or closest friend because she will do oretty much anything to keep them out of harms way even if she is the one that needs to be kept out of it.[/size][/blockquote][/color]

HISTORY:

Araceli was born in Los Angeles on September fourteenthe in 1895. She had a normal family. A mother, named Elena, a father, named Nicholas, an older sister, named Lia, and an older brother named Dante. She was very happy and did things any normal child would. She learned to walk and talk and read and sing and such. She loved all of her family dearly bit she and her brother held a very close bond. Out of all of thefamily these two were the closest. They shared secrets and ran around and laughed happily. She really didn't worry much about anything.

For thirteen years it was this way for Ara. She luved a comfortable lifestyle and played happily. But one night Ara's world changed forever. She was sleeping happily like normal when she was shaken awake. She was surprised to see her sister above her pulling her out of bed sayong the house was ablaize. She rushed out andhurried to Dante's room to wake him up. As soon as he was up Lia shoved them towarss the stairs and told them ti get out quickly. She went back to get their parents while Dante led Ara downstairs. When they reached the door Ara refused to go any farther with out their family. Dante tried to convince her to leave but she wouldn't budge. No mattwr how hard Dante tried to get her out she wouldn't come. Finally their parwnts and Lia came down the stairs and Ara ran into her sister'r arms. A second later there was a crack above them and the next thing Ara knew she was being pushed towards the door by Lia. Ara stumbled into Dante's arms as a ceiling beam fell and pinned their parents and Lia to the floor. Ara screamed at she was forced out of the house and she sobbed clinging to her brother.

The two moved to New York City where thier father's younder brother lived. They moved in with him because they had no where else to go. Life was hard aftwr that. Thier Uncle Robert didn't do much. So the siblings took it upon themselves to make sure they could actually live. Robert pretty much ignored them and left them tofend for them selved so ot was safe to say he wasn't liked very much by anyone. two years after moving there Dante didn't come home after work. Ara was worried about him but tried to think happy thoughts he was fine she was sure. But he didn't come home at all that night. And the next day he didn't come home until an hour after the sun had set. But during that time Uncle Robert was rather nasty towards Ara. He yelled at her and Ara snapped at him tired of doinng everything for him. He got up and pinned her to the wall by the throat and told her that she was foibg to shut her trap and do what he said or she was going to regret it and she stared defiently at him refusing to respond. He scowled and smashed her head into the wall three times and she kicked and screamed begging to be let go but he didn't and he threw her to the floor.

Dante came in roughtly about this time and he wasn't going to let his baby sister be beaten by their uncle so he beat him to death. Ara hugged him as he picked her up afterwards and realized something was different about him. She found out what was wrong about fave seconds later. Dante pulled her close and bit her neck. She screamed as he started to drink her blood and started crying and hitting him. He didn't stop though and he turned her into a vampire just like her had been turned the night before. She was terrified at first but she grew used to the idea and the coven they belonged to took care of them and ahe was acctually glad that Dante had biten her. Because she didn't want to loose her brother and this way they would both live for a long time. The two sibings Lived happily and watched as the world changed around then and they adusted well. She was content so stick with her brother and her coven for the rest of her very long life.

MEMBER TITLE: Vampire Healer
EXAMPLE:

Grace knew someone was coming. She felt the presence of someone coming closer. She kept her head facing her book but her grey eyes flicked from side to side. She froze as she saw Acacia nearing her. Oh God! That was the first and last person she wanted to see right now!!! Maybe she could ignore her! she had a book in her hands she could say tat she zoned but Acacia would end up finding out she lied to her again. No there would be no avoiding her.

Grace sighed softly before Acacia got into hearing range. She found her place in her book and finished her paragraph seconds before She heard Acacia's voice. 'Grace, we have to talk.'

Grace closed her eyes, sighing as she pulled her head up slowly. Yes they did need to talk. But about what? She knew the answer to that. But no matter what her friend said it was bound to upset her. Her mental sensitivity was finally starting to balance out because she had seen Markus at the masked ball. But them Kimmie had tried to kill herself and Grace's progress had been pushed way back. Acacia wouldn't be making her feel any better today.

She bit her lower lip softly and her open her eyes only to look a her book without acknowledging Acacia's presence. But it was obvious that she knew the other was there. She looked at there she was on the page, what the first two words of the paragraph were, and then the page number before she close the book and slipped it back into her bag silently. She stopped biting her lip and she looked at Acacia.

"Your Right. We do need to talk," Grace said, her voice was nearly ice when she spoke. No, Grace had not forgiven the girl she had called her best friend for five long years. Her gray eyes, which had always held warmth and kindness and sort of a glimpse of shine to them like silver almost, held a look that spoke death only, without the anger. They color was not bright and cheery but cold and icy. Part of it must have been because of he face her father and the reason behind his death loomed in the front of her mind but that didn't matter to her. Acacia would know she was upset.

"Where should we start?" She asked. Where did she was to start in the midst of all the chaos hat Her relationship with Markus had caused? That Grace did not know. So she had to find out. And with out having yet another mental breakdown filled with heart-wrenching sobbs.
