I do not bleed for the Consortium or my superiors. I do not face the terrors of the supernatural for glory or fame. I fight to free the children of the nightmares that plague their future.”[/i][/center] [b]Name:[/b] Hayley Malik [b]Age:[/b] 26 [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Occupation:[/b] Teacher - Primary School [b]Investigator Rank:[/b] Second Class [b]Appearance[/b] A mere 5’4” and 147 lbs Hayley is the epitome of what people believe is a school teacher, but beneath her high collared shirts and form fitting vests there is muscle tuned to agility. Due to the new shade of darkness over the world she has since changed out her heels and bustle skirts for belt pouches, flat soled boots, and the more versatile option of pants. And, depending on the weather, she has her floor length hooded crimson duster. As for Hayley herself her emerald green eyes compete for the category of most striking trait with the white streaks through her dark auburn hair. [b]Personality[/b] There are two sides to Hayley, the one most see is the reserved and polite professional, seemingly without any end to her patience. A flower on the wall to be exact, to be overlooked and forgotten which is what she prefers. Those that truly know her can account for her sass, sharp wit, and crude behavior. She may act like a lady but it’s merely just that, an act. [b]Biography[/b] Hayley is the youngest of four in the Malik family, the other three being older brothers. The Malik family comes from a long line of toymakers of all things, the shop in out edge of town having passed from generation to generation. The four were all raised the same, Hayley rumbling with her older brothers more often than not and it was a rambunctious household to say the least. Just as expected the brothers took over the toy shop, Hayley cutting her own path to take up teaching. It was within the college years that she learned to be a lady to better conform to society, and although she didn’t get the best marks she easily won over the children during her internship. Before she knew it she graduated and had an offer to teach in the Main District which of course she took with glee. It was only a couple of years before the Main District was overrun, Hayley taking it upon herself to help evacuate the families of her students. Within the trials of running from the Mangled Ones she came to see destruction of the normal life she had tried to build for herself. Yet seeing it all fall apart for her wasn’t the wake up call, it was the fear in the children’s eyes, the grip on her hand as she lead them to safety. As the Mangled Ones went up the clocktower she put the ink down to sign with The Consortium. With merely a season as an investigator under her belt Hayley has never felt a stronger sense of purpose. Despite her brothers’ protests, despite her aging parents’ hearts, she goes bravely into the field hoping to secure a safe future for her former students.
