"OH Elaine, that's it! It was driving me absolutely nuts trying to figure it out! Lucky laughed, giving her thigh a light slap. "Well, Lain, you really don't have anything to worry about with Lady J' here. She really does have everything under control. If anything..."

If Lain was honest, the comment did little to calm her beating heart but the idea of it was more soothing than not. Even if everything were under control, she still didn't like the idea of being around others or possible showing off her powers. It didn't sit well with her at all.

Lucky paused for a moment, looking Elaine over. "You may want to relax and take some deep breaths. You seem pretty nervous. Is this your first class at the Haven?"

Lain stood still for a moment, thinking about how she wanted to answer Lucky when another student came up to greet them. He looked oddly normal. She was still staring at Eric when she answered Lucky's question, "Y-Yes..."

However, was she really ready to 'strut her stuff' as Eric had asked? A frown formed on Lain's face as she quietly turned away and stared down at the floor again. "N-No... She mumbled quietly to herself, though she was almost certain her responses would confuse both students.

"Teachers cute though." She heard Eric laugh. The comment prompted her to look back up at the teacher before settling her gaze back down at the floor, her movements slow and cautious. The teacher still intimidated her so she couldn't look past the fear to see the appeal. "Yeah..." She replied softly, a lie but she didn't really feel like explaining herself and agreeing usually meant less talking.

The thud of another new coming prompted Lain to look up once again and her eyes widened at the sight. What the heck was that... thing? She blinked, staring at him for a moment before her face softened as she once again reminded herself of the looks people often gave her after she transformed back from an episode. With a shuddering sigh, she turned her head again to stare at the floor. She was starting to make out little pictures in the wood grain...

Lain turned when another student approached her who... glowed? She blinked for a moment, unable to help staring when she remembered how much she hated people doing that to her. She turned her head back and stared at the floor, feeling suddenly very awkward. Though, she had to admit, at least the glowing girl was pretty. There wasn't anything pretty about a raging tiger... She lowered her head further, using her long hair to shield her from others.

"It'll be over with before you know it."

Was... Was that the glowing girl? Lain blinked for a moment, debating looking before finally shifting her head and hair to look up at the girl. "I'm Lucky... Like, that's actually what people call me, go figure." The girl introduced herself, chuckling. "Anyways, don't worry. Lady J' has this situation under control, nobody will get hurt. Probably." She added with a wink and a weird looking smile.

Lain simply stared at her for a moment. P-Probably? Lain thought to herself, concern showing as her brows furrowed. But still, regardless of her feelings towards what could happen in the future, it would be a bit rude not to introduce herself in return. "I'm Elaine but people call me Lain..." She mumbled softly, raising a hand to rub the back of her neck.

The Safe Haven

Lain sighed. She really hated big crowds so she honestly had no will to be here right now. It took everything she had not to wolf out of there as fast as she could. The teacher directing everyone kind of scared her too, so there was that. She tugged at her knitted hat, trying to pull it down over her face as if to disappear from this situation.

"I really don't want to be here." She mumbled to herself. Her dorm room was already set up with all of her gaming stuff, posters strewn about the walls and her line of books tucked neatly on the shelf. Just the thought of it made her want to go back to it. What the hell were they going to make them do here anyway? She hoped to God they weren't going to have everyone show off their powers for the teachers in front of all the other students. What better way to start the year than losing control over your powers and maim another student because you can't control your own damn emotions.

The arena they were in didn't lend itself to calming Lain down either. She took in a deep breath to try and calm herself down manually. This was going to be a stressful day, wasn't it?

The Safe Haven

Elaine "Lain" Cross

Appearance

_{4"8' || 97lbs
"Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results."}

Name: Elaine "Lain" Cross

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Species/Race: Shapeshifter

Powers:
Shift - Lain can shift into different forms. She has one form that she can easily transform into, a Wolf, but the others take some time and effort. She has one shift that will avoid at all costs, to the point of not even mentioning it or why. Her power is a bit unstable and occasionally, she may lose control over herself when she shifts. The only form she will never lose control in is the Wolf form.

Weaknesses:
Control - As mentioned before Lain has a hard time controlling her powers and her different forms. The more tame the form, the more easily she can control them. The same goes for how often she has shifted into that form. The more time she spends in a certain form will increase her control over it but... at what cost?

Shy - Lain is rather shy when it comes to using her powers. She doesn't like using them because they scare her but she will often use her wolf form to get out of situations that make her uncomfortable.

Weak - Lain, in her human form, is very weak. If she does not shift, she is of use to no one, really. She is not strong and cannot lift heavy things and she gets sick very easily.

Personality: Elaine is a very shy individual, especially when it comes to talking about her powers. She tries very hard to break out of her shell but often chickens out before really getting anywhere. She is not very brave and given the choice of fight or flight, she will always choose flight. She cannot stand violence of any degree and would rather avoid conflict than face it head on.

Background: Elaine grew up with normal parents but... when she shifted for the first time she nearly killed her best friend. From that point on, her parents feared her, as much as they tried not to. Elaine understood this from a young age. Her parents loved her, but who wouldn't be scared of a toddler than could shift into a full sized bear and kill you all without realizing she was doing it. Elaine, from there, was shifted from orphanage to orphanage, never really staying in one place for very long. She had friends but once she shifted without meaning to, it was all lost. Everyone was afraid of her, no one was an exception. By the time Elaine turned 13, she'd finally found a way to control her emotions so that she didn't shift every time someone scared her or made her angry. However, even now, given a large enough shock, Elaine may still shift without warning.

-says it will take longer-
-it doesn't take longer-
-are we surprised?, no-

And there you go. This'll be the first character I've played under 18 in a very, very long time. Takes me back to the days of that one RP I can't even remember the name of anymore. RIP.

The Safe Haven

@Kaesus Back to the drawing board then. ;)

Edit: I don't have another character that would fit. So I'll be working up a new one. Just means it'll take longer. RIP.
