[hider="Raven"] [center][img= http://www.wallchan.com/images/sandbox/94041-pretty-woman.jpg][/center] Name: Isla Weatherford (“The Raven” or just “Raven”) Appearance: (see above picture) Standing 5’7”, Isla has a fit body type, with lean, muscular arms and legs, but enough fat to give her curves to fill out a dress. She has long mousy brown hair and large grey blue eyes. When she was younger she disliked her more masculine jawline, but has grown into it. She rarely wears makeup and neglects her nails, often chewing them and never painting them. Her clothing style when not working is mainly maxi dresses, enjoying the comfort and femininity. When working, she dons whatever appearance or outfit necessary. Her skin is a light tan color naturally, and she has a few moles dotting her skin here and there. She has no tattoos or piercings. Age: 26 Gender: Female Corps: The Black Dogs Bio: Isla grew up in Edale in England as a little girl. She would often escape chores by running off into the local caverns, peaks, or woods alone to explore. She was an intelligent child but only because of her unyielding curiosity. She was never the fastest learner, or one to pick up things immediately, but she never stopped moving forward, asking why, practicing things she was taught until the peak of perfection. After having her, her mother swore to never have any more children because she was so exhausting for her, though she did have a son when Isla was 5. Her younger brother was named Jack, and although he didn’t get as high marks as Isla in school, he was an easy child, complacent and entertained with little. The defining moment of Isla’s life however was one day on her 12th year when she was in an area away from her home and night began to fall. She started to make her way out when she heard an unnatural howl. Frozen in fear, she stood in the middle of a growth of trees and stared out into the woods. In the distance, but not far enough away for comfort, was a large dark shadow with bright yellow eyes. She shook, taking a few steps back, when the shadow began bounding towards her. She turned to scramble away but tripped, hearing galloping coming towards the area. She flipped over to watch as an impossibly large wolf creature lunged towards her, only to have a spear run through it and it fall a meter from her feet. She looked to see who had thrown the spear, and there stood a half man, half horse creature. In awe and wondering if she was dreaming all this honestly, she stared at him with her mouth half open until he leaned his hand down to help her up. She took it and asked him who he was. What he was. A conversation ensued where he explained he was a centaur, and the beast after her had been a werewolf. The centaur introduced himself by the name of Adam, and Isla told him hers as well. He said he’d seen her from afar wandering about for a while now, but that creatures like him often weren’t welcomed by others so he never made himself known. By this time it was black outside and he led her towards her home, though he departed before reaching any homes, telling her to keep his existence a secret for him. She has obliged to this very day and never told a soul. She found Adam really only appeared when she needed him, so there were nights she purposefully stayed out after dark so he’d lead her home. This was rare however, and as she grew older she saw him less and less despite having a slight infatuation for him. She began to get more and more interested in the supernatural still, especially the darker side like the werewolf she had been saved from. She began to wonder how many vampires, demons, other creatures actually existed, walked among them, committed unsolved crimes. After high school she took espionage classes, ones those who hoped to join MI6 took. She hoped to get involved in spy work within the UK to protect other citizens. She thought she would have an upper hand on her classmates, having knowledge of what else they may be up against and what might be lurking out there. At the age of 20 she had completed her studies, and needed training. She did work low on the totem pole for MI6 for a couple years before quitting and beginning to take personal cases. Where people would contact her under an alias and untraceable phone number to help them. She has a decent length list of jobs and assassinations she performed. Some human, some supernatural, but in each case she decided if the one she was hunting was deserving of death or not. Thanks to Adam, she knew good supernatural creatures existed, and she would not take part in harming them. By age 25, she was caught and charged with vigilantism by the government. Instead of throwing her in prison, she was taken in by the Royal Hounds and placed with the Ghost Corps. She has no idea if her encounters with the supernatural are what landed her here, her spy background, or both. She knows the time is coming where blood will be on her hands against her will. If she doesn’t, she’s sure punishment or death is only a minute away. She doesn’t know how to reconcile her morals with what she’s being asked to do. Personality: A good liar though she is honest more than people think. She is naïve too much and often sees the best in people when they don’t deserve it. She is a know it all, thinking she really is always right and above the law. She has a firm sense of justice, unable to condemn the innocent or let the guilty go free. She is calculating, never acting before thinking. Curious and inquisitive. She is far from selfish, often putting herself last on things she cares about. She can come across cold, as she rarely cries, and never attends funerals. She doesn’t keep in contact with her mother or brother, and they often see her as selfish for this. In honesty she just isn’t good at making intimate connections with anyone. She is also incredibly patient and stubborn. Skills: Acrobatics, gymnastics, expert marksman with handguns, trained in hand to hand combat and knife wielding. Lock picking, remembering fine details and useless (seeming) trivia, and a fine actress. Gear/Weapons (no more than three weapons): Glock 26, aerosol instant knock out gas bracelet, 8” fixed blade carbon coated combat knife Other Information: None I can think of[/hider]
