Application #2. 0_0 [hider=Lauren Zavala] Name: Lauren Zavala Age (only 14-18): 16 Gender: Female Appearance: [hider=Appearance][img]http://i43.tinypic.com/wumesw.jpg[/img][/hider] (Source: Unknown) Personality: Reserved and distant, but Lauren opens up once you get to know her. She doesn’t like to be seen acting close or affectionate with others, since she thinks it is embarrassing. She often takes herself too seriously, and will look down on others for not being just as serious. Incompetency will also incur her scorn, as she finds it hard to believe anyone could be incompetent if they just took things seriously. She gets her serious nature from her parents. History: Raised a single child to two severe, if caring parents, Lauren’s personality became somewhat severe as well. Although her parents are both Egyptian, Lauren cannot speak and only barely understands Arabic, gleaned from the infrequent occasions her parents would converse in the language. Lauren did very well in school, pushed by her parents to succeed until her expectations of success became her own. Before her junior year in highschool, after confirming Lauren could see the floating island, Lauren’s parents enrolled her in Skyline. Lauren went along with their decision without arguing, as in her mind, the potential benefits far outweighed what she’d be missing. She tries not to think about her high school friends, or she starts to miss them more and more. Lauren just wants to get the year over with so she can go back to her “real friends.” Nationality: Egyptian Word (include description of its powers): Transmit - Lauren can transmit objects, others, sounds, light, and forces distances. She can also transmit obligations, rights, thoughts, and feelings from one to another. Like with other Words, she cannot Transmit a Word or otherwise affect one. Word Location: Left thigh Word Range: 7.1 meters. Abilities (optional): Finds the art of judo, ju-jitsu, and other such throwing and pinning arts to be incredibly graceful and elegant. After begging her parents, Lauren was able to take classes, but the classes never progressed up to the techniques Lauren [s]obsessively[/s] studied [s]over and over[/s] on her own time. Other (optional): She wouldn’t be caught dead being seen actually [i]doing[/i] judo or the like. Far too embarrassing. Her parents gave her the last name of Zavala to sound more American. [/hider]
