Blood type: A/B positive (view spoiler)
Appearance:

(view spoiler)
Bri has long, wavy dark brown hair and brown eyes. She's fair in skin tone and has an oval shaped face. She's about average in height, standing at 5'8. She's slim from all the physical activity that comes from being a shadow hunter, but still has a decent figure- she's in no way a twig. She knows that she's pretty, and she's not insecure, but she's also not vain or a snob. She doesn't look muscular, but she can definitely pack a punch. I would'nt underestimate her if I were you.
Personality: "What, you're going to stand there and tell me that I can't? Why not? Because I'm smaller than you? Because it doesn't look like I can? Because I'm a girl? Well, you can take your opinions and shove it, because I don't give a damn about you or what you say."
Just because Bri is used to people underestimating and judging her doesn't mean she has to put up with it- and she doesn't. She won't hesitate to tell you what's what or why you're wrong. Not only is she honest, she's somewhat brutal about it. She won't lie, and she's not afraid to express her emotions.
As is the Herondale way, Bri is sarcastic and could even be considered rude most of the time. Don't let her fool you though, she really does have feelings- lots of them. She truly does care about people, but she doesn't really express it. She never wants to look weak, but she is a reasonable person. If she has a bad injury, she'll accept that she needs help. That doesn't, however, mean that she likes it. If she gets hurt emotionally, however, that's a whole other story. She won't give you the silent treatment or be ridiculous like that, but she will do her damn hardest to push you away and pretend that she doesn't feel anything. But she's not just lying to everyone else, she's lying to herself, too.
History: When Bri was 8, her parents were killed in battle. It wasn't against demons though- demons she could have accepted. It was how most shadowhunters preferred to die, in battle, going out in a flaming blaze of glory. No, it wasn't demons that killed Henry and Isadora Herondale, it was shadowhunters. The demonic shadowhunters that Sebastian created. Not only that, they weren't killed in the final battle of the war, but when battling a greater demon, two of them showed up and killed her parents. She does't know their names, but she remembers their faces- if only from the security footage of the building- and she will do anything she can to get her revenge- to claim her justice. Those people- those abominations, they aren't shadowhunters nor downworlders- they're certainly not mundanes just that by itself is enough to make them enemies to her, but for the past nine years, it's been personal.
After her parent's deaths, Bri went to the institute. It was near empty at the time, and she arrived a mess. Her face streaked with tears, her clothes ripped and filthy. The Carstairs took her in, not just as another orphan at the institute, but as one of their own, they are some of the only people she trusts, and the only one she will show her nicer, softer, almost vulnerable side to is her parabatai, Violet Carstairs. They became parabatai at the age of twelve, four years after they met, and have been near inseparable ever since.
Bri grew up at the institute with Violet and her parents, and still lives there today. She sparred with Violet and trained with her, discovering her talents in drawing runes and hand-to-hand combat, and her (unadmitted) weakness with long-range weapons such as a bow and arrow, (Her aim is simply terrible).

Age: 17

Zodiac Sign Pisces ♓ (view spoiler)
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Blood type: Type B positive (view spoiler)

Appearance:




Violet is considered to be very attractive by most men. She has long, dark brown (almost black) hair that falls in waves down to the middle of her back. Her eyes are jade green in colour, framed by naturally long dark eyelashes, and her skin is tanned and olive. She looks more like her mother than her father. Vi isn't very tall, standing at 5'4, but she is still very strong and fast. She is slender with an athletic physique, weighing 115 pounds. She doesn't really think she's very pretty, even though people have told her she is. She finds herself very plain compared to other people, such as her best friend and parabatai, Abrianna.

Personality:
Violet is a little bit shy, but still very expressive and a genuinely nice person. When you first meet her, she can seem a bit awkward and nervous, but once you get closer, she'll become less shy and start to joke around with you and express herself. She is very creative and artistic as well. She loves to sketch, paint and take photos, as well as play the piano, sing and dance. She puts her heart and soul into what she does, especially the things she is passionate about such as the arts, and training.
Vi is a loyal and true friend, and she will protect you with her life if she loves you. She is very selfless and determined, hardly ever losing focus from the tasks at hand. She is very polite and graceful, which is normal for the Carstairs family, and she is hardly ever very rough or rude with people, even strangers (unless they threaten or harm her.) She is a great fighter, and has a graceful but fierce fighting style. Since she also dances, she is very flexible and incorporates dance into combat. Unlike her best friend Bri, she likes to think things through before actually doing them. She is not reckless, she is very careful and is a great strategist.
History:
Born to Kathryn and Liam Carstairs on March the 1st. She has an older brother named Zander who is two years older than her, and she has lived at the institute her whole life. Her parents were close with the Herondale's, and when they died they were completely devastated. Isadora and Jacob Herondale's only daughter Abrianna came to the institute then, and Vi and Bri became fast friends. They became parabatai after four years being best friends, and are practically inseparable. They even each other out, Violet being the quiet, simple and reasonable side to Abrianna's sarcastic, reckless, but still caring personality.
When Violet was 16, she started dating a fellow shadowhunter named Chris. She really liked him, and he really liked her as well. They were said to be 'cute' and 'sweet' together. Lot's of Vi's family and friends thought they were the perfect match for each other, but Violet wasn't so sure. Chris was starting to get a little more pushy, and maybe a bit too protective for her tastes. She had a feeling that he wanted to take their relationship to the next level, when she really wasn't ready for that yet. One night, after a date, he drove them back to his own house, or more like mansion. He had lied and said his parents would be home, which was why she agreed. Violet confronted Chris about this, and he just told her they must have gone out on a whim. Violet reluctantly agreed, and Chris suggested they watch a movie up in his room.
Once upstairs in his huge bedroom, they laid on his bed and cuddled, ready to watch a movie. Things were normal through the first fifteen minutes, then Chris started to act weird. He was running his index finger down her neck, over her chest to her thighs, almost hungrily. It made Vi shiver. She asked him to stop it, but he didn't listen. Chris lowered himself on top of her smaller frame and kissed her. it was a different kiss than they normal, it was too hard and it felt unnatural. She tried to push him off, but he had an iron grip on her waist. She yelled at him, and told him to stop as he fumbled with the button on her jeans, but he wouldn't. Violet was on the verge of tears, as she looked into his eyes. It was almost like he was a different person altogether. He slipped off her tee shirt quickly, and that's when it happened. Out of pure self defense, Violet took out one of her blades that she kept tucked in her jeans all the time, and stabbed him right in the chest. He just stared at her, with an expression of shock, anger and confusion on his handsome face. Blood from the wound dripped onto her pale, exposed midsection, and he fell off the bed onto the floor, life draining out of him slowly. Violet didn't know what to do. She scramble off the bed and removed the knife from his chest. Blood was now pouring from his mouth and the light in his eyes had dimmed. She was crying now, not sobbing, but tears were streaming down her face. She knew he was going to die.
Violet cleaned the blood off of her, then quickly wrote a note on a piece of paper. A suicide note, in writing strikingly similar to Chris's. He was dead now, his lifeless body lying on the floor beside his bed. She placed the note on the bed, slipped her shirt back on and put the blade at his side. Violet quickly fled back to the institute and locked herself in her bedroom, refusing to come out. She wouldn't speak to anyone, not even Abrianna.
That was a year ago, and she has now tried to push all thoughts of Chris out of her mind. She hasn't told anyone what happened, no, she wouldn't. She hasn't even told Abrianna yet, she doesn't know how to. So... She just keeps it to herself, locked away in her mind.

Last Name: Starkweather
Nickname: Georgie
Age: 16
Birthday: December 19
Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Blood type: B positive
Species: Werewolf/Shadowhunter Hybrid
Appearance: Georgie's hair may be brown, average, but it sure does catch attention. Long, light, and flowing, Georgie's hair reaches the middle of her back when she leaves it naturally wavy. Straight, her tresses reach the bottom of her ribcage. Though her hair draws attention, it's her eyes and her figure that really keep that focus. A bright blue, Georgie's eyes are easy to get lost in, easy to notice. They stand out perfectly against her nicely tanned skin. Though Georgie's skin isn't too tan, she's got a healthy glow, which proves the hours spent outside. Georgie's figure always has people transfixed, without fail. Even for a shadowhunter, she's very slim, very light, very agile. Georgie's body is clearly that of a trained athlete, a trained killer. She's got curves in all the right places, a dancer, an athlete, an assassin's shape. She stands at average height, roughly 5'6, but weighs in on the lighter side, at only 104 pounds.

(view spoiler)
Personality: The first thing people need to understand about Georgie is that she's a fighter who's been through hell and won't hesitate to call you out on your crap. If you're being a baby, without good reason, she'll call you out for it. It's a well known fact that Georgie's past was hellish beyond compare, but no one knows what exactly happened, only herself. Georgie is tough, and doesn't hesitate to speak her mind. Unless she really feels the need to, Georgie won't sugarcoat anything. She didn't get anything sugarcoated, why should anyone else? It won't be the end of the world, in her mind. Georgie is a very hard person to get to know, snarky, sarcastic, secluded, and very easy to dislike. Though she's not the nicest person in the world, Georgie always finds that people love her anyway, for reasons she can't comprehend.
Georgie may seem tough, rude, and mean on the outside, but on the inside, she's just afraid. Georgie is terrified, of being discovered, of being found again. She's horrified of the thought of people she cares about dying; she's lost too many already. Sensitive is something Georgie is in excess, though it's not easy to tell. Bring up something that reminds her of her past and she'll break mentally, though she'll likely torture herself and force herself to remain in that situation. In actuality, Georgie may seem mean, but all she is is a depressed teenage girl who's lost too many people for her own good. Georgie may refuse any hug or comfort she's offered, but with enough persistence, she'll accept it. Being the stubborn, headstrong, arrogant girl she is, Georgie is reluctant to accept assistance of any sort, but if forced upon her, she'll take it. Georgie is actually quite intelligent; she puts most college professors to shame in that respect. Georgie is sweet, if she likes you, and helpful, if she feels the need to do so.
Georgie, however difficult, is actually quite easy to be around. She's funny, enjoyable, and easy to laugh with. Though she may be a tad bit outwardly depressed--and very much so inwardly--Georgie is genuinely fun. People find they enjoy time around her, no matter how hard it is to get over her darker traits. She's a sweet, bright, intelligent girl, but not too much so. It's actually quite easy to like her, but she's not that girl that's too likable. Her intelligence, talents, and skills make her quite intimidating to most people, but once they're over that, Georgie is easy to enjoy. People often find that it's easier to hang out with her than they're first led to believe, and let themselves get drawn in by her charisma. Yet Georgie is still that snarky, wild, stubborn girl that people always think she is. It's a hard personality to pull off, but it works for her. Underneath, she's just afraid, but people don't seem to understand that. Of course, Georgie keeps her emotions under lock and key, so no one would ever know if she didn't tell them. Ever.

History: The only thing people know about Georgie and her past is that she's been through hell, and laughed in its face. She's the kind of tough girl who doesn't let things like that get to her, or at least on the outside. Georgie look like she's indifferent, but she's broken beyond compare.
Georgie was born in France, but she'd learned German, too. Her mother was French, her father German. So before she was even moved to the US, she could speak two languages.
It all started when her father, Chad, decided to go on an impromptu outing. Yes, her father was a trained shadowhunter, so his wife hadn't worried about him at all. It was a good day, no demonic trouble was around, nothing of the sort. So Chad had been running errands for his wife, who was at home with their eldest children; Austin and Asia. Florence hadn't been worried at all, she had all confidence that her husband would come home to her, alive and perfectly fine.
Of course, even though she was the Inquisitor, Florence placed too much faith in her husband's fighting skills. When Chad came home, something was off, but Florence wasn't quite sure what. Chad didn't remember what had happened, either, so they simply forgot the day.
A week later, Georgie was conceived, but by the time they figured out what was wrong with her, it was too late. Chad had been bitten by a werewolf, turning for the first time the full moon after the irreparable deed they did was done, their daughter a hybrid. They managed to keep Chad's turning a secret for the longest time, up until Georgie had turned three. Of course, he was then discovered. The family was promptly banished, all three children and the parents. They moved from France, across the Atlantic ocean, to the USA.
Now without their names--Starkweather--the family was lost. They couldn't call upon the clave, meet any other shadowhunters, they were, essentially, mundanes. So, abandoning the Nephilim lifestyle, the family took residence with the wolf pack. They'd adjusted to the more laid back life style quickly, but it was soon seen that Chad wasn't happy as the omega of the pack. He wanted more for his family. So, he did what any other power hungry wolf would do. He challenged the alpha, and won. Now, Chad is the head of the New York Pack system, unquestioned.
Years of rigorous training passed, and Florence and Chad almost hoped that Georgie hadn't received the wolf gene. At least, not entirely. Sure, she had gold eyes when she was angry, but that could mean nothing. When Georgie turned ten, everything was changing. She got in a huge fight with one of the other wolves. Her parents had discouraged the fight, saying the wolf boy would have an advantage due to the fact that he could shift, but in the end, it was Georgie who was triumphant. The ten year old girl had shifted mid battle.
Not shifted stances, but shifted bodies. She'd turned into a wolf. That was the first sign that Georgie was a hybrid, not entirely Nephilim.
Though this was kept secret from the clave, Georgie instantly became an outcast in the pack. Her older siblings defended her well enough, but Georgie was always difficult; she found ways to sneak off, making it easy to pick on her. Georgie always defended herself, but eventually, at the age of twelve, that wasn't good enough. Of course, it wasn't wolves that got her that time. The wolves wouldn't do something like that to her.
No, this time, a mundane cult kidnapped her, and they didn't let her free. Three years passed while Georgie was in their captivity. At first, it was just her. The silence was peaceful, she didn't mind it. She could sing to herself, hum, anything she liked. After a year or so, other people started joining her in her prison. They were treated well enough--the goal wasn't to kill them, but to lull them into a false sense of security--but eventually they ran out of space, so it was hard to avoid people. Unfortunately, a sixteen year old boy had seen Georgie and instantly decided what he wanted from her.
Her struggles had been great, strong, but eventually, he got sick of it. Georgie's leg took the damage from his anger, snapping in half. It never quite healed right, either, not until it got rebroken two years later, at least.
Georgie managed to defend herself from him for almost a year, but eventually, he took what he wanted. Her attempts at defending herself had been strong, but clearly not enough to keep him away. By the time she was thirteen, he had finally managed to get close enough to her to rape her. Georgie had thought maybe she would escape pregnancy, but of course, she wasn't that lucky.
Not one kid, not two, but triplets. Georgie had been six months pregnant when she escaped her prison, somehow making it out alive. Of course, it had been immensely difficult, with her captors breathing down her neck. In the escape, Georgie suffered a horrible fall on her bad leg, and her triplets didn't make it.
Finally back with the wolf pack, scared, and afraid, Georgie managed to pretend like she was okay. Even if she'd been gone three years, people were still looking for her. When she came back, she didn't tell anyone what had happened to her. So she had managed to make it around on a lame leg, depressed, and slightly suicidal, until things went worse.
Asia and Florence--her mother and sister--had been on guard duty that night. There had been an important meeting with the alphas of the wolf pack, so everyone was on high alert. Of course, attacks were bound to happen.
No one expected Asia and Florence to get turned by vampires in them, though.
After that, Georgie couldn't take it anymore. She took the chance to rejoin the nephilim, and left for good. Fourteen at the time, Georgie was happy to be free. Her mother had just killed herself because she despised vampires, and Asia stayed with them. It was Georgie's worst nightmare, alone at the institute.
And from then on, Georgie trained. Eventually, she reached the top of the top, a sort of idol to the children in the institute. Of course, she hated that.
Just a few months ago, Georgie's leg finally got rebroken, fixed, so she's just out of her cast, finally able to train again. Now, the only damage left on her are the emotional scars, which will never fade. Ever.

History: Aura is one of the three Lightwood triplets. She was born last, making her (technically) the youngest of all of them. Her parents are James Robert and Lily Genevieve Lightwood. Her brothers are Matthew Andrew Lightwood and Gabriel Jonathan Lightwood, Matthew being the 'firstborn' and Gabriel being the 'middle child.' They grew up, for the most part, in Idris, but moved to new york just last year to fight demons.
However, what they did not know, was that Matthew was sneaking information to the demonic-shadowhunters. Because of him, Aura nearly died last year, and was forced to spend three months recovering. Not training, not really doing anything. When Matthew knew he was discovered, he fled, going into hiding, still working with the demons.
But even before this, Aura had her own problems. She felt ignored in such a large family, and she was consistently trying to draw attention to herself. She dated all kinds of downworlders, something that is no longer 'looked down on' per se, but it is still not necessarily encouraged or approved. She would also get into consistent fights with Matthew- possibly a part of why she was later a larger target, and would throw herself into dangerous situations all the time- unnecessarily dangerous situations.
The history that Aura never speaks of, and what most people don't know the details of is what happened with her brother Matthew. She was suspicious of his consistent going out at night, and she followed him, spying on him passing the information over to their enemy. Just as she was about to leave from her hiding place on a nearby roof to where the meeting was, she slipped and fell to the ground- almost landing on Matthew. She was fine from the fall, but the demonic shadowhunters quickly overpowered her. She was knocked out, and doesn't remember much except her leg had been broken, arm fractured, and she was about to die when others from the institute saved her.

Personality:
Max is a very quick thinker, she's smart and knows how to survive. Due to her terrible history, she doesn't trust many people, but when she does, she'll love them like family. She never breaks down and cry anymore, because of what happened before, she promised never to do cry again.
She's strong, proud, and can be harsh. She has the heart of a warrior, though she can only be a dancer. She can lie flawlessly, and she's rebellious and snarky at times. She's very defiant and never talks about her secrets. She can be harsh and blunt, but she has a soft heart for the ones who care for her.
History: ((Sorry, this is very long))
Max was thrown out of her own home when she was not even eight. In her house, she had only a very pretty woman who was mothered at an age too young. Her father had left her mother as soon as he heard about the baby. Max did not know her father was a shadowhunter, and neither did her mother Max had no grandparents either, her mother had no family after she gave birth. Max was always treated horribly, even as a little girl. Even at such a young age, she knew her mother didn’t want her. She knew that her father didn’t want her, and that her grandparents didn’t want her either. She had no real home, no real family, nothing. So when her mother finally ordered her to leave, Max was prepared. She had packed her backpack full of clothing and food, and after the age of five, she started stealing bits of money, just the loose change that her mother dropped, or put aside. Max already knew where to leave, she headed straight for the abandoned house at the end of the street. It wasn’t in the best shape, but people said it to be haunted, so no one ever entered. It would be safe for Max. Max had not cried the entire journey, she already knew this day would come. But when she reached the house, she sobbed for an hour, all the years of being neglected, hated, and beaten around coming out in tears. A man passing by heard her muffled sobs. He was a Chinese man who had come to her town only a few years ago. His English was funny, along with his clothing and scent. He kept Max’s secrets, and he didn’t turn her in to the police or the orphanage, because Max dreaded places like those. He brought back sheets, blankets, pillows, and warm food for Max, made her comfortable in a room. He brought her packs of bottled water, and other necessities that kept her alive. He was her hero. Every day, before and after his work, he would come to Max’s place and give her food, and sometimes other gifts. But what Max remembers the clearest about him, was that he was a fighter. From China, he had all sorts of fancy swords, knives, bows, and spears. They had been passed through his family, and they were all beautiful pieces of art, some from ancient china. He used to just tell Max stories of those, but he started showing them to her after she begged to see them. He was a man talented with martial arts, as well as weaponry use. Before Max turned nine, the man started to teach her these arts as well. Every day, Max would practice these arts. She would still go to school, so that no one would ask questions. But after school, the man would always come with food, a new weapon, and a lesson for Max. She loved the man, he was the nicest person she ever met. The first one that made her feel like she had a family. The man was poor as well, moving to North America so recently. He never told Max he needed money, but Max could figure that out on her own. The man told Max she could be a dancer, for when they practiced martial arts, her movements were all beautiful, swift, and precise. When she practiced routines with a sword or spear, she made them look so artistic, flawless. On Max’s tenth birthday, the man entered Max in to a dance studio. Max felt terribly guilty, because the man had a family back home, and she knew he had little money. But she loved dancing very much, and the people there were willing to take her in. When she turned eleven, the man told Max that he would be joining the army. Max cried and cried, and begged him not to leave her. But the man’s family needed money, so after a month or two, he left. Max had a talent agent now, for she often entered competitions and made her own money. She was a very nice lady, who never told Max’s secrets and always gave Max something to do. After a very big competition, Max earned enough prize money to move into an apartment. When she came home from her competition that was overseas, she was ready to move her articles over to a real house. However, on her doorstep, there was a large box, a beautifully decorated Chinese gold box. Inside, were all of the man’s beautiful swords, spears, knives, bows, everything that he ever prized. Max found a letter, stating that if she read it, the man would have died. The man told Max he loved her, and he was sorry for leaving her alone. He said he knew she would be a fighter, that she would always prosper and find a way to survive. He told her he trusted her, had faith in her, and still, expected great from her. Her name was Max, because he always called her a Chinese word that meant “Maximum”. He told her she would always be the best, and that he promises to never truly leave her. He told her she was truly a warrior at heart. He also gave her the address of the institute, telling her what she is and what she has to do.Turns out, this man was a shadowhunter as well, not a a solider who was killed through war. F Max cried and cried at her doorstep, before running away to join the institute. For the years on, she was taken into the institute and accepeted as a shadowhunter as well. Though the memory of this man always follows her, so do his secrets, along with the shadow of her father. She kept the chest of weapons, and every day she still practices them. She may be a dancer on the outside, but on the inside, she will forever have the heart and soul of a warrior.
Family:N/A
Likes:Fancy weaponry, martial arts, dancing, daggers, combat, and has a soft spot for music.
Dislikes: Unfit mothers, careless people, the army.
Other: (optional) She always carries a golden dagger, one of the first gifts the chinese man gave her to work with. She usually hides it in a boot, or up or sleeve, and she knows how to get it past metal detectors. But it's always on her, for sentimental value, and for battle purposes.

Personality:
{ "I do it because I can, I can because I want to, I want to because you said I couldn't." ~Unknown }

"Before you judge me, make sure you're perfect"~ Don Kel
Nicole, since she was five, was bullied, teased, treated as if she were a disgrace, not worthy of being a Nephilim. When people picked on her, she would shrug it off, cringe away from their taunting, or meet them head on. It just depended on the day and what they would say. Most of the time she didnt rise to the bait. They were only small taunts to get a rise out of her. Calm, collected, she turned the other hand and showed kindness. Though, there were always those times where she wouldnt take something they would say sitting down. It was impossible to just shrug off and ignore. Those big threats, more then just taunts. She fights to win, and wont back down until she came out on top. Nicole will stand up for herself, wont let people walk over her. But more importantly, she stands for others, with others.
"Don't ever mistake my silence for ignorance, my calmness for acceptance, and my kindness for weakness."~ Carson Kolhoff
Dakota is smart and keeps it to herself. She can be a kind, down to heart person if you approach her right. Normally she wont open up, and if she does, it isnt all at once. She likes to keep to herself most of the time, finding it easier then having to talk to someone knowing how it will end.
"One small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day."~Unkown
Nicole loves quotes. She is the kind of person who will memorize dozens of them and recite them perfectly just for fun. Some give her motivation, hope and courage. Other ones just comfort her after a hard day. Either way, she adores them.
"You have enemies? Good. That means you stood up for something, sometime in your life."~ Winston Churchill
Nicole is the kind of person who most people dont like. Thats fine with her. She doesnt need anyone, or so she likes to think. Most of the time, she is independent, and hates to rely on someone. Nicole has a tongue and isnt afraid to use it. Her words, whether sarcastic, witty, strong, angry, sad, have just as much affect on a person as a sword would. Yes, she does have a temper, and yes she does show her anger. Though she uses it as cover. Thus, resulting in people disliking her. Either way, no matter how she acts, no matter how good she is with a weapon, she will always have enemies. People just dont like her.
"Be that strong girl that everyone knew would make it through the worst, be that fearless girl, the one who would do anything, be that independent girl who didnt need a man; be that girl who never backed down."~ Taylor Swift
Easiest way to say things, Nicole doesnt loose. Whether its fighting or standing up to someone, she comes out on top. She doesnt let other people bring her down. With a smart, strong, quick, willful body and mind, there isnt anything stopping her. Either she comes out on top, or dies. With training she has gone through, its nearly impossible to beat her. Though she is strongly underestimated, which she works to her advantage.["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
History: Nicole grew up in the institute located in Moscow, Russia. Most of the time, it was only her, her brother, and parents who ran the institute. Though, they did get the occasional travelers every now and then just like the normal institute. No one ever stayed long.
Casper and Nicole were always jointed at the hip. Never apart since birth. Though they look nothing alike, they are in fact twins. How Nicole was the only one to come to have albinism, she didnt know. Genetics was an interesting, complicated subject. But at the time she didnt care. A part of her knew that others disliked her for it, but her family didnt. It didnt matter to them. Her mother with the fighting skill of a true Shadowhunter, and her father with the brain of the oldest, wisest Shadowhunter, their children would have the perfect balance.
Nicole often spent her days with her brother either training, studying or walking the streets of Moscow. They would walk around the Red Square, or go to Gorky park. Seems normal enough, right?
But Nicole doesnt have very vivid memories of her family. It was all very distant, but she holds onto what she can remember. She lost them all at the age of seven. Its surprising she remembers much at all.
With Nicole's parents at head of an institute, they were a target for Sebastian's army of dark Shadowhunters--what remained of them anyways. A small institute, but an institute none the less.
It was a night where some members of the Clave had been called in for a meeting. Nicole and Casper, age seven, were in the kitchen while the meeting was taking place in the library. While their parents were conducting the meeting, an army of rouge shadowhunters stormed the gates of the institute and flooded in. Silent as night, strong as steel with enhanced power, they were able to come through and take over the place before anyone could call for back up. And as Bryce, Brianna and the other shadowhunters found out, the connections to any outside help had been blocked. Portals, phones, any of the sort had been somehow blocked.
It was a bloodied mess. Rumor has it that blood of both Sebastian and Raziels Shadowhunters spilled throughout the house, ran down the steps of the institute and spilled out the windows. It was a slaughterhouse.
When the rouge shadowhunters came in, they went straight to the library. They werent expecting kids, or any young people for that matter. Their first priority was the library. At first, Nicole didnt know what was going on. She mistook the booming from upstairs as thunder from the storm outside. It was when she heard the scream when she started to panic, her mothers shriek. A scream, footsteps, glass. It was all the domino effect from there. Quickly, as any kid would do, they ran to their mother. But by then, the bloodbath had begun.
Casper and Nicole hesitantly sprinted to the library, using the shadows without realizing it. Only once did they cross a rouge Shadowhutner. And it is true that they showed no mercy. Sebastians shadowhunter attacked, quick and precise. The blow was meant to kill, but someone from the library must have heard one of the childrens shrieks and came running. Though the blow was meant to kill, it was only deflected. Still, the blade managed to slice through Nicole's skin. A gash about six inches long had been created at the jointing of her neck and shoulder. Blood had started pouring from the wound, dripping down arm immediately. Yet, she stayed awake.
The rouge shadowhunter had then been killed and disarmed by the shadowhunter from the library. Though, that shadowhunter did not escape the fight unharmed. Just seconds after he had killed the rouge shadowhunter, he dropped dead at the childrens feet.
Terrified, bloodied and alone, Casper and Nicole stood in the hallway for several minutes, staring at the scene in front of them. Bloodied walls, floors and the bodies lying motionless. Nicole and Casper, once realizing both shadowhunters were dead, managed to pull themselves the rest of the way, to the library.
Bursting through the doors, they entered another battle that made what happened in the hall look like a childrens board game. When Nicole and Casper had entered, bodies were already scattered across the ground. Books were scattered, mixed with blood on the ground, pages torn and spewed across the room. A green/blue fire was started at the desk in the middle of the room. The first thing that Nicole did was scan the room, looking past everything, for her parents. Praying that they were still alive. Nicole was able to spot her father and cried out to him. Which was a mistake. Now the attention was on the young children who had just entered.
The world seemed to have gone into slow motion, but everything had happened so quickly. Nicole was suddenly jerked back, gripping her brothers hand tightly, he was pulled with her. Fighting consciousness, she saw her mothers mutilated body being dragged to the center of the room, tossed into the demonic fire. The arm that had gripped her pulled her and Casper out of the library and into the hallway again. But not before she saw her father go down, his head sliced right off.
Nicole collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down her face, unaware of anything else around her. Whether it was the shock of seeing her parents brutally killed in front of her, or the blood loss, she didnt get back up. As it turns out, a rouge shadowhunter had taken them out of the library and was now dragging the half conscious Nicole out of the Institute. Distantly, she heard her brother calling out to her. "Nikki, Nikki!" But she didnt respond.
After what had felt like hours, Nicole's vision finally cleared. But it had not been hours, only minutes. Somewhere in all this commotion, an Iratze was drawn on her skin and was slowly stitching her neck back together. Because it was such a deep wound, the Iratze wasnt working as quickly as it should have. Though she was--and stayed--conscious, everything was spinning, and her mind couldnt connect certain things. Nicole was only aware of fast feet and strong hands, for she was being carried/dragged down the streets of Moscow.
Nicole looked around frantically for Casper, and luckily found him running next to her looking as if he would drop dead on his feet. Seeing now that Nicole was awake, the rouge shadowhunter set her down and made her run along with them. Instantly, she gripped hands with Casper as the dark man dragged them through the streets.
Nicole thought that she was imagining it, but they seemed to quicken their pace after twenty more minutes. They twisted through the streets, sloshing through puddles. It was then when Nicole realized that they werent the only pairs of footsteps stomping through puddles. An additional set had followed them and were hot on their trail. Automatically, Casper pulled Nicole closer to him as they tried to keep pace with their captor.
Their pursuers had caught up to them, their footsteps and snarling echoed in the narrow path. The rouge shadowhunter cursed under his breath and pulled the children in front of him in an effort to keep them out of reach and able to allow them to keep moving forward. Though it had not worked, Casper had been yanked free from Nicole's grasp, into the snarls and footsteps.
Having enough of this, the shadowhunter picked Nicole up and threw her over his shoulder before sprinting away without a second glance for Casper. Thrashing, screaming, and crying, Nicole fought against her captor, yelling her brothers name before a silence rune was placed on her. They eventually made their escape without anymore difficultly.
Slipping in and out of sleep, Nicole found herself in a house full of other dark shadowhunters. Immediately, she knew that they were not like her, and with that realization, she remembered what had happened not long ago. When she tried to move, she realized that she was strapped to a bedpost. Nicole tried to free herself for hours, her wrists bleeding when she finally gave up and sobbed. She wouldnt eat, drink or move for days, weeks.
Nicole didnt know what they had planned for her, nor did she want to find out--but her request was denied. For months, she was beaten, trained, questioned, a captive. Though, she never gave up, never lost hope. And it paid off, the cabin she was held in caught on fire one day when the Shadowhunters were out during a storm. It had been struck by lightening, catching fire almost instantly.
In a panic, the few shadowhunters who had stayed behind fled without Nicole, leaving her to die in the flames. And she almost did. But as the roof was coming down, she was able to loosen her bonds with the heat and free her hands. Climbing out the window, with smoke filled lungs, she managed to save her life.
Covered in burns, smoke, blood, and gashes, Nicole wandered around taking in her surroundings. Somehow, they traveled to an island. When Nicole looked around, all she saw was water. But again, she was alone. Her next task, was to try to get to the mainland which could be seen in the distance. After a week of , she managed to get herself across the water, nearly drowning in the process.
When Nicole got to land, she found herself, not in Moscow, but Italy. Alone, but she knew what to do. Seek out the institute for help. Letting her instincts take over, she found the church after days and nights sleeping in the sewers. They took her in, cleaned her up, just as they were supposted to. The clave was called in and she told them what had happened. But by then, they had known about the Moscow institute. Nicole was confirmed what she already knew, her parents were dead, and the whereabouts of her brother were unknown. Though, the Moscow institute was burned down, everyone inside killed.
But where was she supposed to go now? Nicole never felt so alone. Though the family that was in charge of this institute were friendly, they were not family. In fact, they were the only ones who would show her compassion. But at the time, Nicole was unaware of this. She stayed in Italy for two years before the owners were killed in battle by new, untrained vampires who were out of control. Instead of dealing with the grief, Nicole left. To another institute to
try and forget.
The next institute was in Madrid. There, people were less compassionate. Her appearance was taken to a new level. And because she was no longer that little girl who came to the door bloody, she was given no sympathy. Not that she wanted it if it was offered. Often, she was called a disgrace of a shadowhunter, ugly, an abomination. People wanted to send her away. Eventually, Nicole gave them what they wanted, she left. Another institute, California. But the same thing happened. Words were powerful, she was bullied.
Nicole never stayed in one place for long, each having the same result. Often, she considered leaving the Shadow World all together. When she turns 18, she would have her choice. The only thing that keeps her from leaving is the whereabouts of her brother. She doesnt believe he has died. Till this day, she doesnt know what has taken him that night.
When she turned 15, she went to the NYC Institute. Nicole now stays there, lives among them but is always prepared to leave. Its been almost exactly one year since she has been there, so she knows her time is almost up. Where would she be forced to next? She doesnt know.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Strengths:
~Archery
~Hand to hand combat
~Quick reflexes/quick light on her feet
Weaknesses:
~Little patience
~Doesnt think well under pressure
~Her pride
~Not the best with swords
~Trust
Likes:
~Rain: Nicole loves the sound of rain. Often she will open her window and sit by it, just listening. Most people will she clouds in the sky and think that its dreary out, disappointed that its going to rain. Nicole will be excited, for some reason she finds a rainy day just as great as a sunny day.
~Being alone: Nicole knows that people judge. Doesnt anyone, everyone. She does sometimes as much as she hates to admit it. But she would rather be alone in her room then with a group of people pretending to like her. Tolerating her because they have to, thats how it always is when she does from institute to institute. She doesnt like being alone, just prefers it over the latter. Being alone gives her time to think, the quietness can be comforting. To a point.
~Quotes: Nicole loves quotes, say something and she will remember it. She just absorbs everything. Quotes help her see things from a different perspective. On good days and bad. She has a "quote wall" in her room at the institute. Sticky-notes taped up above her bed, covering the wall that she constantly adds to.
~Lightning: Just like her fascination with rain, Nicole loves to watch lightning. She can sit and watch it for hours, watching the lights flash in the sky. Someday she wants to see the Aurora Borealis.
~Hugs: Nicole acts like she likes her own personal space. Which she does, but there will be days where she just needs someone, just a hug. Being alone all the time can be tiresome. Though, she would never admit it, and you would never guess this about her.
~Piano: This is the one musical instrument she adores. Everything else doesnt matter to her. When she was younger, Nicole could just barely remember her mother playing it before the institute she lived in was taken over. The sound of it comforts her, but she doesnt know how to play it. She was much too young to learn how and moved to frequently to teach herself.
Dislikes:
~Arrogant people: Nicole cant stand these kind of people, though she may tend to act like this herself at times. She doesnt like it when people think they are above others.
~Bullying: This is one things she will never tolerate. Nicole will shut you up right away, standing firm.
~Fish: Salmon, shrimp, anything. Nicole wont eat it. She hates fish and think it has a gross, bitter taste.
~Spoons: A very random dislike. For some reason, Nicole hates spoons. She will use a fork to eat icecream, cereal, pudding. She just hates spoons.
~Chocolate: Even though she isnt a wolf, Nicole hates the taste of chocolate. Chocolate has a sour taste that she just doesnt care for.
Relationships: Family, friends etc.

[Appearance]
(view spoiler)
Leila is quite pretty, perhaps even beautiful, with her sweet, deceptively innocent face, her flyaway blond hair, and her deep, violet-blue eyes. She stands at a height of only 5'1" and weighs just barely over eighty-five pounds. Slender and small as she is, she seems like she might be better off as a dancer instead of a Shadowhunter, but this, of course, is deceiving. Her slight figure hides the lean, lithe build of a long-distance runner. She may be lightweight, but she is all muscle and bone and nothing else. Sure-footed and agile as a cat, she moves with the distinctly feline grace of a predator, making for quite a formidable opponent.
[Personality] Leila is an enigma - no one can really make sense of her. On the surface she seems to be full of life and energy, never tiring. She seems to take life lightly, as though nothing and no one really matters to her, not the humans she is mandated to protect, not the Shadowhunters who feel she is a bit too wild and unpredictable, not even those in the Institute who so kindly took her in. She really is very intelligent, but her reckless, impulsive nature often leads her into trouble. Stubborn, willful, and hot-headed, she is a free spirit who listens to no one, who does always what she wants, when she wants, how she wants, without a moment's care for the consequences. She is fearless, afraid of nothing, not the ever-stern Clave, not even the demons she lives to destroy. Or so she seems. She does, in reality, have fears, but she'd rather die than reveal them.
Leila is proud, prickly, and ambitious, with a wicked sharp tongue and a distinctly vicious streak that makes her difficult to understand or like. She doesn't particularly care what others think of her, however. She hates losing and finds it difficult to admit her mistakes. She hates it when others try to pry and prefers to maintain a certain distance between herself and everyone else, with the exception of her parabatai.
There's nothing Leila likes more than a good fight that ends with her as the winner. She gets bored easily with everyday goings on, and spends a lot of her time in the Downworld to entertain herself. Downworlders, she thinks, are usually much more exciting than stuffy Shadowhunters, who she considers to be irrationally bent on following rules.
[History] The Nightshade family was once very well-known and respected, but their fall from grace happened a long time ago. It didn't help that Leila's grandparents were among those who joined Sebastian and willingly drank from the Infernal Cup. They became dark Shadowhunters, and when they had a daughter, whom they named Lena, she too was a dark Shadowhunter. Years later, when Lena had grown up and her parents had been killed by the Clave, Lena had a daughter: Leila Delayne Nightshade. The father was an unfortunate mundane who saw a pretty woman and slept with her without having any idea of who she was.
Leila has been trained to fight from as far back as she can remember. Even before she was old enough to be Marked, her mother honed her skills, having Leila undergo rigorous mental, physical, and emotional training. Lena's plan was that Leila would be a weapon to be used against the Clave. But Leila grew to hate her mother, and when she was eleven, she ran away. She arrived at the doorstep of the Institute in the middle of the night, and the head of the Institute took her in.
Ever since, Leila has devoted herself to Shadowhunting. She hasn't allowed anyone to get close to her, rejecting all offers of friendship and kindness. The only person who managed to get through to her is Ethan Kent Penhallow, her parabatai.

[Friends] There's no one who Leila genuinely considers a friend. Loving someone, she believes, would be giving that person power over her, and that's something she's determined to stay free of.
[Parabatai]
Ethan Kent Penhallow; In all the years since prickly, proud Leila first turned up at the Institute, wild even at age eleven, she has kept everyone at bay -- everyone, that is, but Kent. She herself doesn't really understand how it happened, but she loves him dearly and would give her life for him without a moment's hesitation.
[Relationship Status] She's single, and she's not really looking to change that.
[Crush] TBD
[Other] She is left-handed.

{First Name}: Florence
{Middle Name}: Kara
{Last Name}: Baycross
{Nickname}: Kara (Thats what she goes by), Flora.
{Age}: Seventeen
{Birthday}: February 16th
{Zodiac Sign}: Aquarius
{Gender}: Female
{Sexuality}: Heterosexual
{Blood Type}: B+
{Appearance}:

[Face Claim]: Alexandra Daddario
{Hair Color}: Dark brown
{Eye Color}: Blue
{Height}: 5'8
Florence has an athletic build, but not boyish at all, toned muscles, and an overall graceful way of carrying herself, much like most Shadowhunters. Her eyes are a captivating shade of blue and her hair is a gorgeous shade of dark brown.
{Personality}: Having grown up in an orphanage, Florence isn't one to depend on others. On the outside she appears to be confidant and strong, but on the inside she is a fragile being just waiting for something or someone to send her over the edge. She is far from being an open book, but she doesn't exactly shut people out either. Depends on who the person is and how she is feeling at the time, but one moment she could be spouting off a sarcastic remark and the next she could be as silent as the grave. Once you get to know her she can either be your best friend or your worst enemy, depends on if you're willing to look past her dark side or not.
{History}: Flornece's parents died when she was only five months old, leaving her to be raised in a mundane orphanage. There she was bullied for being "different", if only those kids knew how right they were. She was made fun of, beaten up, and the victim of many pranks while at the orphanage. No matter how many times she told the supervisors of the orphanage about the abuse they did nothing but look at her like she was a freak.
Florence had always known there was something different about her and when she turned tweleve she met a warlock that confirmed just that; she was different. She met the warlock, Cesile, while she was at the orphanage. Cesile had been there to adopt a child, since warlocks cant have children. Cesile knew what Florence was and decided to try and get her to come to the institute. At first she was scared to listen to the strange women, who she later found out was a warlock, but after a lot of convincing she decided to go to the institute.
Florence quickly began training as a Shadowhunter, though it was very difficult for her at first since she hadn't been raised as one. Everything felt very strange to her at first, which once again made her feel like an outcast.
Now she is a very strong and capable Shadowhunter, one that knows she belongs.

{Strengths}: Hand to hand combat and overall speed and agility. Florence is also very flexible and light on her feet. She is comfortable with most weapons but she exceeds with throwing knives and smaller, not full length, swords.
{Weaknesses}: Florence has quiet a few fears that weaken her, the one that scares her the most is her crippling fear of drowning. It stems from the first time she ever went swimming and a few kids held her under water to mess with her.

{Relationships}: Both her parents are dead and she has no known living relatives.

I'm not a mod, but just as a suggestion, I think it would be better if you put both parts in one post? Usually people split them if they run out of characters, but I'm pretty sure yours is under the limit...
