[color=f7941d][u]Birth Date:[/u][/color] 5th of August [color=f7941d][u]Age:[/u][/color] 17 [color=f7941d][u]Gender:[/u][/color] Female [color=f7941d][u]Sexuality:[/u][/color] Heterosexual[hr][center][color=gold][h1][u]In The Mirror[/u][/h1][/color][/center] [color=f7941d][u]Appearance [/u][/color] Vanessa has straight, layered faded orange hair reaches only a small length past her shoulders, some locks starting to grow back into it's natural dark brown which she will dye over eventually. Her round-almond shaped eyes are a ligh hazel. She is quite short for a girl of her age standing at 156cm (about 5'1") and doesn't have any chance of growing taller. Over time she has come to accept her short height but that doesn't mean she always embraces it with open arms. She is also quite lean weighing at 48kg (about 105lbs) and has a small amount of muscle on her. She is not one to smile widely therefore hiding her crooked white front teeth. [color=f7941d][u]Clothing Style:[/u][/color] Her clothing style is quite simple. She's not a fan of anything flashy or eye-popping nor does she like dresses or skirts. Darker colours (particularly blacks) are ever-present in her clothing choices but all the same she generally doesn't wear all black, commonly pairing her leather jacket or another dark item of clothing with more neutral or toned down colours[hr] [center][color=gold][h1][u]Delving Deeper[/u][/h1][/color][/center] [color=f7941d][u]Likes:[/u][/color] [list][*] Music, particularly the more edger and hardcore styles such as hard rock, punk/pop-punk, Alternative etc. [*] The stories of the dead recounting their lives [*] History, although she doesn't overly enjoy being involved in wars she loves the retelling of them [*] Time alone to think to herself yet she enjoys company every now and again also.

She considers herself a level-head realist and isn't actually as gloomy as many perceive her to be before they get to know her. She is very caring toward most people but she attempts to push others away at her darkest of moments. As helpful and kind as she is she strongly believes that one should take consequences for their own actions and can take her time in forgiving those who harm her or someone she's close to either physically or mentally. She's the kind of person who is silently listening to the whole conversation and mentally criticising it yet she would be quick to stand up for herself or those she cares for. She's the kind of person how will rebel within the rules, pushing the boundaries but not crossing the line enough to be labelled a troublemaker. She doesn't make friends easily, she has her father's reputation to thank for it, she finds herself alone often, sometimes she enjoys the lack of company, sometimes not. [color=f7941d][u]Background:[/u][/color] Vanessa was born the 3rd child in a family of 4 children in Illinois, America with no knowledge of the Godly realm. Not long before Vanessa's mother fell pregnant with her she was widowed with the father of Vanessa's older siblings, her two brothers. A couple of years after her birth her mother remarried and had yet another child, a girl. Vanessa's brothers were very protective of their sisters, particularly Vanessa herself as she didn't know who her father was, but they also taught her that not everything will always go her way. Vanessa was that girl in school people would actively avoid for no good reason so she often spent her lunch breaks on her own. At 13 her mother died from cancer after a 3 year battle. Her step-father only wanted to keep his daughter, sending his step-children to an orphanage as their mother dropped all contact with family years before her first child. When she was 15 she first summoned a spirit from the underworld. It was an accident, obviously, but of course, how are you meant to explain that to the other teenage girls who you shared a room with? So entitling her a freak they avoided any contact with her if possible but Vanessa didn't care, this opened a new possibility for her, the possibility to see her mother. As much as she tried, however, it never worked but she met her father not long after the first incident, it was a very awkward experience in the middle of a cemetery but from then on he checked up on her on the odd occasion until now. Only weeks earlier her father invited her to live with him in the godly realm. [hr][center][color=gold][h1][u]Godly Information[/u][/h1][/color][/center] [color=f7941d][u]Godly Parent:[/u][/color] Hades [color=f7941d][u]Relationship With Godly Parent:[/u][/color] Her relationship with her father is very much a love/hate one. On one meeting they would get along well for a father and daughter that barely see each other and be happy in each other's company, or as much as you could belonging to the underworld, though quite often on the next meeting they can lost get in bickering and fighting. As much as Vanessa admires her father she fears him slightly. [color=f7941d][u]Godly Abilities:[/u][/color] Summoning the dead: Particularly near the place of the death or where they are buried she is able to summon the spirit of a single dead soul at a time, however, sometimes this doesn't work out for her. She is not able to control their actions, obviously, nor is it too long before they are dragged back into the underworld but she enjoys the company and the stories of the dead. [center][color=gold][h1][u]Mortal Parent Information[/u][/h1][/color][/center] [color=f7941d][u]Mortal Parent's name:[/u][/color] Jane Linda Casey [color=f7941d][u]Relationship with parent[/u][/color] Vanessa and her mother never had a dynamite relationship but it wasn't a bad one either. Generally they had quite a neutral relationship with their ups and downs. Truthfully she loved her mother but didn't really regard her name as highly as some children do.
