[INDENT][b]Name:[/b]
	Anissa Lawrence

[b]Gender:[/b]
	Female

[b]Age:[/b]
	22

[b]Appearance:[/b]
	Anissa isn't exactly physically impressive. Standing at 5'6, she has a slender and petite frame with grey eyes and dark hair. She is a fan of elaborate, fancy but simple enough dresses and prefers them over simpler clothing more popular in the modern era even if they're a bit of a hassle. She has a pale complexion and wears just enough makeup to make herself look fairly good without wearing an obscene amount. She can often be seen wearing an old ring inlaid with an amethyst.

[b]Personality:[/b]
	A little on the introverted side and impish side, but not unfriendly or shy. A little whimsical and selfish, she ultimately only does what she wants without any shame or consideration for others. It's a good thing she's generally a friendly and morally upright person, or things might get a little difficult for anyone she meets. She typically spends most of her day either indoors reading, at a library, on a computer, writing, or all manner of similar pursuits as she considers herself a bit of a writer - and has even published a few books you've probably have never heard of.

That said, she is a prideful little thing and greatly dislikes people who either insult her or those she considers friends. She may not be physically intimidating or impressive, but don't think she's not above playing dirty to get back at people. Some people find her whimsical and selfish nature a bit much at times, since she tends to need someone to balance her out and reign in her antics at times. Confident and poised, she considers herself to be someone who can't fail.

Often incredibly hard on herself should she fail, and suffers from migraines. Tries not to take life too seriously, except when she does. Often narrates things in grandiose and comically melodramatic fashion.

[b]Background:[/b]
	Born and raised in a sleep seaside town in the UK, Anissa has a fairly simple life in a middle class family. If you asked her, she was the perfect little angel. If you ask her parents, she was a demon child who could never stay out of trouble. Anissa had a very curious nature that showed early in her life, often getting into places no child should and injuring herself more than a few times doing so. More than once, she was sent to the hospital or the fire department had to be called to get her out of comically weird situations.

As she grew older, her curiosity only expanded. She generally did well in school, a competitive spirit driving her to do good, but made sure never to take things too seriously. She got into writing during her youth, quickly being drawn to the use of language and started writing short stories and such to pass the time, winning a few awards in the process but never particularly standing out.

After graduation, she moved onto Uni and took several classes, but never really majoring in anything. Physics. A semester of biology. A few computer classes, and worked part time at a computer store. She never intended to have a major in anything. Her real focus went into publishing a book she had been working on, finishing it up and getting it out there - which she succeeded in...to an extent.

Sales weren't exactly great, but they weren't terrible either. A good first step, she supposed. She'd just have to try harder and write something even better next time! Something young adults would like...hmm, maybe a wizarding school? Perhaps something about vampires? Teens loved that edgy stuff. She went on to publish a few more books that were met with mixed reviews, and is currently working on a new series that will hopefully catch on.

[b]Abilities:[/b]
[i]Language studies:[/i]
	Anissa started writing at an early age, and as such has a fairly good grasp of pen, paper, and language in general. She has a good grasp of several different spoken and written languages, and how language itself was formed and could reasonably tell you the roots and histories of a written word.

[i]Quick Learner:[/i]
	Generally speaking, Anissa has always had a fairly good head on her shoulders regarding scholarly subjects. She's a quick study when she puts her mind to it, and attempts to incorporate this into her writings to make them more realistic. Unfortunately, this does not extend to more physical pursuits.

[i]Charismatic Confidence [/i] 
	While Anissa's overconfidence and otherwise mildly selfish and 'do what I want' attitude may not be everyone's cup of tea, there is an undeniable charm about her that most people do respond to at times. Confidence goes miles in getting people to listen to you, and if Anissa is anything, it's confident.
 
[b]Relic:[/b] 
Odd Lantern:
	This odd, broken Gothic lantern has seen far better days. The glass is shattered in several spots and completely missing in others. The handle on the side is broken off, leaving only a ring at the top where one can hold it easily. The vibrant gold color that it once was has rusted and faded to a dirty brown.[/INDENT]
