Calm, Collected, and the aura that seems to change. These are the few of many simple words that can be used to describe Bell. She is a rather average sized female who has shown her experience to many who know the Ravencroft name. Her hair is light brown and the evidence of power circulates around her. These are small descriptions that will be expanded later, the most noticeable her body is her physical frame. She has a rather slim and toned body, having a sense of balance in the middle, she is not skinny to the point where it seems she has no muscles but her muscles are not toned to the point where it seems that she is mainly muscle and thats it.

Her face is also the place that shows a great story. The first things that one would notice on her face is it's changing demeanor. She is able to go from a calm and very collected to exasperated and angry. The scar that goes from her left eye to her chin are the remnants of the warrior that killed her siblings, telling the story of how she obtained "Ravencroft's Gift". The scar is a remnant of the faithful event that left Bell reliant on her powers to give her the ability to see perfectly out her right eye, though she can see somewhat, she needs optical help when she does not use her powers for help(Granted that is very rarely). Now she uses it as a base for her personality and to remind her never to fall into the same trust and trap she was in when she killed the Women who killed her family. Besides her scar, her cheeks are a bit chubby and give her a cutesy face, which she hates with a firm passion. Others might notice her lips that somehow fit her chubby cheeks and make her even cuter, which again she hates. Her wrinkles don't show much anymore, instead giving her dimples when she smiles. One would not be able to tell that she is half way almost to 31, nor does she lead on to be, the only thing that would tell a person that she is old, is her infinite wisdom and attempts to guide the younger generation in the right path.

Her bright left red eye, and scared teal eye, tell a much different story, they tell the story of a soul looking for peace, but stuck at a cross roads. Her eyes tell the story of a girl lost in the sands of time so to speak, a girl lost in the impending wait of age, remembering the hardships she hard over came. They also saw the fierce, determined side of her, the will of the Ravencroft. They show the intensity she can have, or the gentle kindness she is able to show. They also show the sorrow she sometimes has, the sadness of doing something regrettable that she can't take back, but they can also tell you that she is ready for almost everything and anything, she is ready to do what is needed to do and do it well. If need be her eyes will tell you that if the moment happens, she will give her all, life or death, and do what is needed to be done.

Bells voice is another way of telling how old she is, it is not that it's old sounding, but it is deep and somewhat raspy, some might even say a bit seductive, but she likes her voice, she claims it makes what she says much more deeper then intended. Though it is deep, when she is embarrassed her voice will crack and she gets even more embarrassed. Her tone can very different though from time to time, it's a tad bit childish at times, but at the same time have a mother or aunt vibe. It can be quite the opposite as well, as when she is training or fighting it can be rather harsh to the extent you would not recognize her if your back was turned and you were completely focused on the task at hand. She does have a bit of an accent as well, though it is mixed and something completely different then one would expect to come from her mouth. It is not at all hard to understand but it is some how mixed between a French and Romanian mixed accent. She has no idea where she picked it up from, but it has a french swuaving sound when she is anxious or angry.

The way Annabella carries herself fits her almost perfectly, from her personality to her voice, it matches well. It is some what of a laid back person depending on the situation or a harsh drill sergeant vibe. When not helping train students, she carries herself as an old friend or relative, giving her a homey type feel whenever around her, it's said that when she is around it gets relaxing and makes you want to open up to her. She also carries herself almost like a mother when it comes down to certain things, especially when someone's emotions are in the hang of being broken, or changed. It is one of those things that she doesn't mean to do, but doesn't mind when it comes down to being able to help someone out and say something that could potentially leave a good mark on that persons mind. In those moments Annabella will no longer care about how she carries herself, only to make sure that she is able to help him or her and save them from doing something utterly stupid and mark them for life.

Bell has a pretty well built body for a 30 year old, it actually is surprisingly close to that of a fully developed young adult and she is pretty thankful for that because saggy boobs are just...gross and hard to manage. She also shockingly sprouts a soft four pack on her stomach that isn't noticeable until she flexes. Her arms are generally unaffected visual wise but she has almost pure muscles and little to no fat on her arms. Her breast are a solid C almost D depending on the bra and she does her best to conceal them as she is super embarrassed about there size, they are to big in her opinion and she would much rather be B almost C if it was possible to change her size, but on to less perverted things. She has somewhat broad shoulders that allow her to carry herself high and with determination. Her wing span is pretty average, standing up she touches to the middle of her thighs, which makes her reach when fighting not to big but somewhat bigger then a lot of girls, though she is 5'5 which is smaller then a lot of other females that she knows.

[u]Attire[/u]: She usually tries to dress as casual as possible until she is told it's to laid back. Dressing in dresses was never really her thing but she would usually wear leggings and a black sweater, but she does from time to time were a cloak over her clothes when she is having a very "off" day.

[b]Personality[/b]

[u]Outward & Innate Personality[/u]:
She is a very particular person for someone of her race and stature someone that a lot of people would say a left curve for what job she has, some might even say it's a wonder how she got the job. She is one of the nicest human being one could meet, but there is something a bit off about her sometimes, it's not always apparent and some might even say one wouldn't notice it at all but there is sometimes a sudden change that she does when going from fighting to angry, it's almost like a 0-60 deal and it's scares a lot of people from how funny and quirky she can be to almost cruel like, one would call her unrecognizable when she is angry or serious. That being said she is able to hold in that part of her mind and personality in check and keep it from becoming who she is outside of fighting or training, though she could be considered Bipolar. She can also sport a sprouting of good spirit when the moment arrives and can be for the most part easy to hang out with and sometimes even a jokester when needed to be. Though when drunk she is almost a completely different person, one who is a bit of a flirt and tease and a big partier.

Sky has a very calming personality much of the time, like that of a mother or a grandmother, because of her experience as both a mother and grandmother. She learned to deal with a lot of problems and bickering and happens to have a very soothing voice that lets people calm down and almost want to sleep. She loves to go through problems with people and act like a mother or therapist giving her opinion on what they should do or say. She is over all the nicest when it comes to those sort of things and she loves helping others a lot. Even if they aren't the nicest she tries her best to help a lot of others with the problem, whether it be physical or mental she does her best to give her knowledge and smile at the person. Even a demon she had met once would find her personality interesting as she wont fight them unless needed and would even help them depending on the task. As long as its not killing innocents(What she deems Innocent), Bell will help with almost, again almost, every task. Though there are some boundaries she will not cross, those involve her body, killing comrades, hurting the wrong people. Those are the boundaries she will not cross even if her life is on the line and a sword is at her neck.

She can also be much like a sage when helping people through physical hardships, like giving advice, helping them train, even save their sorry asses if need be. She tries her best to help strugglers out whenever possible, even ones that aren't apart of her squad. If the person is willing, she do her best to help them train, just ask nicely and she'll do her best to make you stronger. This part of her came from when she was both a mother and a grandmother to her "children". She loves giving advice that is honest regardless of if they will hurt your feelings she will not lie to you even if it comes down to saying something mean, she only wants you to get better and if things need to be said then she will say it, granted she does understand feelings and try to dial it back some but other then that you will get the truth out of her and nothing more. In the event that she does lie to you, which rarely will happen she would do it for the protection of not only herself but you and the people involved if it is that serious then at that point she will keep it to herself and only the people she is sure can handle it so that she does not cause mass panic.

She is a generally nice natured person, not hating of anyone, no race, no color of skin, all that stuff is nothing in her mind, even gender doesn't matter to her. She cares nothing of the color of skin or race because simply it is not one act that defines a group of people but individuals acts that determine the person. Make them who they are and give them a reason to make Annabella not like them. Even the most vile people on earth, Bell can get along with because she is simply fascinated with how they think and would love to have a one on one conversation with that said person. Nor does she discriminate or hate a certain race because she believes that everyone gets a second chance, with what they do with that is none of her business just that they deserve at least one more chance and if nothing was learned from the last time then they are only then a lost cause she will give up on them. In her eyes even the meanest of people can be nice, whether it be small or big, she will show kindness to all people until they prove to her that they don't deserve her niceness what so ever. She could be considered a peace lover, which is ironic for someone like her but she thinks nothing of it, just love and peace will keep the three worlds from being torn apart and turned into barren wastelands.

She is a kind soul that wont turn her back on something she believes in, only turning away when it is orders from someone she respects. Then and only then is she forced to do an act she is not wanting to do, a lot of things which she doesn't like doing but it forced because her positions demands so. In truth she hates doing some of things she does because her mind can only take doing so many things that could change someone else's opinion on something, she hates that in fact. If it were possible she would want to figure out a way to bridge all people together in a way everyone could love each other. She keeps this wish secret though, because deep down she doesn't want to be the reason someone else things something about a certain idea or ideals. At the end of the day, she wants other to think and act the way she does of their own free will.

One of the only things she would kill someone for, it is the only thing that she was able to recover from the fire that had set the Ravencroft Manor ablaze, burning not only destroying her stuff, but destroying all of the families possessions except for this one item, the ring of her birth father.

[u]Quote(s)[/u]:“There are going to be times when you learn more about the world you’re entering and feel defeated when you see the gap between the ideal and the reality… But that’s something we’ll all face. The people that face those obstacles and overcome them are people whose dreams come true.”

[u]History/Bio[/u]:Annabella Ravencroft was born 30 years ago on a dark snowy night in the Ravencroft Estate. Almost as soon as she was taken from the mother to be wrapped, the mother passed away, to weak to live from birth. The night was both full of sorrow from her father and happiness of her birth. She was born with a full head of beautiful brunette hair, her eyes almost a demon red. She was born with the markings of the Ravencroft, but her's were different, they were grey, markings that the first Ravencroft had. There had been talk that entire week that the girl was going to be a legend making Ravencroft, capable of things the rest were unable to do. Of course this sparked an already sibling rivalry with her older sister who was 4. With in the next two months the Annabella had picked up making this small shadow, unable to be put into the category of something, but it was just a shadow being that she was playing with. At two months she had already sealed the deal of being the next Aire to the Ravencroft name. Things slowly went quiet after it was apparent she could already mold shadows. Months passed and people began to look at the father to teach her how to control it or do something. It hadn't been fully discussed but Annabella's shadow was...different. It was able to make decisions for itself, not caring wether it was right or wrong, messing up the babies room or causing Annabella to wake up. Fearing that it was something more then a shadow made from Annabella, at the age of 1 they locked her in a room full of nothing but her bed. Her father would lock the door when he left and would lock himself in, slowly he began teaching her, or at least did his best to with a one year old. Years passed, but things didn't change, it got even worse. The shadow was slowly trying to make Annabella make shadows, not normal human looking ones or animals, but demented shaped beings. Another problem become apparent was that any of the shadows she made would slowly follow in the shadow that was the problem.

Meanwhile her sister spited her, hated her existence. She would never get noticed by her father, because his attention was on "the sick child" she had just started learning how to make shadows, but her "Gifted" sister had done that at the age of zero, not even a year old. All her relatives looked at her with distaste for being a late bloomer, telling her to be more like her younger sister. Her father would ask if she wanted to come, and she did, once. Only once and it caused the worst thing humanly possible, it sparked hatred between the two. As soon as her older sister was in the room, the shadow attacked her, causing her to have two bruised ribs and a black eye. At this times, Scarlett was completely unaware of the fact that Annabella wasn't the one controlling the shadow, but Scarlett didn't care after that. That moment would cause the complete destruction of the Ravencrofts. When she turned 16, she ran away, not looking back, but something...odd happened. As soon as the Scarlett ran away, the shadow disappeared, leaving Annabella alone. They all looked for the shadow, not even focused on the fact that Scarlett had just up and left. But not looking for Scarlett was the mistake that the Ravencrofts made. For the shadow has followed Scarlett, because it had grown tired of trying to corrupt Annabella, it had left and followed someone more manipulative. The one that wanted to be stronger then her gifted young sister, the one so full of hatred for her family.

Slowly but surely Annabella was able to adapt back into coming into contact with people other then her father. Even during this time no one thought of the "problem" older sister that had left. Joel was just happy to have his little girl out of the confound room. It was a problem that the shadow had gone missing and they couldn't find it, but times seemed to dissipate as they all looked to the girl Annabella. Watching her grow stronger and older, wiser and happier. Soon it came to a point everything was perfect, and everyone was happy, loving each other and happy with the direction that the family was going. She slowly but surely fell in love with a man and married him. She had met at the college she went to at the age of 20, both not wanting to have kids yet. Instead they both decided that with her "special talent" that raising more kids like her could cause more trouble then worth, so they adopted...but one wasn't enough. It started out as a test and almost suddenly they began to fall in love with 6 handsome boys and 7 beautiful girls, taking them into their own home. Then on her twenty third birthday, she went out with her husband and cousins to drink . At this time, an old face appeared again, Scarlett walked through the front gate of the estate, a dark evil glow around her body that was apparent to the others. She laughed in their face at their forgiveness of not looking for them, but she wasn't looking for forgiveness. Though she didn't say anything she made it clear when she shot her uncles and aunts, killing them in cold blood. Joel took the kids that he was babysitting until Annabella came back, and ran into the room that Annabella had been locked behind for 12 years of her life. He locked inside and fought his daughter, but even he was unable to overcome the sure power she had gained.

Annabella with her husband at hand and her cousins in the backseat of the care, drove tot he open gates of the estate. Or rather what was left of the charred remains of the building. Scarlett stood in a piles of bodies mixed between her aunts and uncles and...the kids. She held the youngest daughter by her hair and laughed an insane laugh "You see dear sister, it is I who was always stronger, it was always me, I was always better, your shadow even picked me over you!" Annabella fell to her kness, crying and screaming in an outrage as Oliver, her husband held her back. Her cousins jumped forward and attacked Scarlett, but almost instantly they fell to the ground cut in half, lying in pieces. She looked wide eye'd as she felt Oliver let go of her, and suddenly she looked up to see him running towards Scarlett, in reply she laughed and waved her arm downwards making a slashing movement towards him. Out of pure instinct to protect him, she almost instantly appeared in front of Scarlett, coming out of her shadow form, she grabbed her sisters arm, breaking it and picking her up at her throat. Scarlett dropped the shaking, crying child and Oliver grabbed her "Annabella lets go!" running away with the child in hand. But Annabella didn't hear him, all she heard was rage, squeezing more and more "You...Missed...someone..." she looked back to see Oliver stabbed in his chest and overtop the now freaking out child.

It's not recorded what happened officially there, but Police records say, the Ravencroft family was murdered and whoever it was set their house a blaze. The only ones how weren't at the estate were, one daughter to Oliver and Annabella Ravencroft, and Annabella herself, though it is specified that who ever killed the family took both of the two, the child escaping and so traumatized she was put into a psycward, refusing to talk about the events that happened that night. The town looked for Annabella, but eventually it was assumed that Annabella was killed, but in truth she simply...faded away, to heart broken to take care of her kid, and haunted with the sight of her dead family. She now teaches at Academy 218, trying to keep the events that happened that night locked away tight in her mind never to surface again.

Abilities

Power Class:Shadow Energy Manipulation
*Rating 8
Power: 
[u]Shadow Energy Manipulation(SEM)[/u]-Annabella has inherited the entirety of the Ravencroft's Family power. Starting back to her great great great Grand Father, he had been haunted with a shadow named Lucifer(No Relation to the Devil named Lucifer) who had come to be a sentient Shadow that had grown fancy of the man. The Granfather on the other hand, was driven insane from the constant whispering that came from Lucifer trying to talk to the old man. In an attempt to kill himself one night, it so happened that Lucifer had gained such a connection to the man, that in his dying breaths, Lucifer used his Shadow "Aura" or Energy to save the mans life, in turn he died in the place of the old man. Walking up he his arms were covered in tattoos of weird patterns. Getting up he suddenly turned into a black hulking cloaked mist, walking turned into almost running at the speed of light. This event spawned the family power and having them known as the Shadow Dwellers, The Ravencrofts. SEM contains one center ability, manipulation of the users body and own shadow. The User uses their own shadow to spawn things such as a misty physical human, sentient enough to know right and wrong, but still bound to the user. But it does not stop at just humans, the user if in years of practice, such as Annabella Ravencroft, the last Ravencroft, the user would also be able to form animals, from birds and snakes to a tiger or lion. Keep in mind the shadows are as strong as their user is, and as fit as the user. Beyond this ability, SEM also effects the users body, causing them become a shadow themselves, moving at speeds of jet planes, they are free to converse with other Sentient Shadows such as Lucifer the Shadow who gave his life for the old man.

[u]Weaknesses/Limitations/Drawbacks[/u]: The most important draw back to SEM, is that anything spawned from the users shadow, is mentally and physically connected to the user. If the user is injured or knocked out of focus of staying connected the shadow, the shadow will dissipate immediately. If the user is attacked mentally or succumbs to say the PTSD that Annabella suffers from, the shadow will in turn act as if it is hit with the same effect it would have on the user. Vice Versa if the Shadow is gravely wounded, it WILL both hurt the user physically and Mentally, instantly cutting the connection between the user and the shadow. On top of this, the user can only have five shadows out at once, anything beyond that and it will instantly cut the connection with one of the five shadows already out. This also means the user will have to wait to output another shadow two posts. As for the effect that it has on the users body, when the user is a shadow, they are unable to touch or talk to anything not a shadow being. As well as they are not able to form any Sentient Shadows. If the user turns into a shadow while using the sentient shadows, they will instantly turn on the user and attack them.

Other: Annabella Suffers from a small form of PTSD from the events that led to the death of her family and the burning of the estate she lived in for her whole life. It is not personality altering, but it is big enough to be added that she wears a black cloak when she is suffering from remembering the horrid events that haunt her mind.
