Your age when you were changed: 17
Power:

( PROBABILITY MANIPULATION )
Lyra has a very interesting gift, talent, power whatever you want to call it she has one as most of the Volturi guard do. Lyra can alter the probability of just about anything, causing likely things not to happen, and unlikely things not to happen. For simple things such as; changing the chance of a winning a game, catching something that is just out of her reach, changing the chance of her getting caught, beating somebody who is taller, stronger, faster than her and many other things she can do it without batting an eyelid. However when it comes to really controlling the probability of something big, she often fails. Though sometimes it is possible with deep concentration, something always slips as proability is just -as fragile as the future- and she fails.

Coven: Volturi - if that is okay, I just had her playing about in my head for a while and thought I would bring her on this board.

BEAUTY

Hair Color: blond/brown [ depending on the claim ]
Eye Color: crimson.
Overall Appearance:

( HAIR )
Let’s start at the top, and work our way down. Like any vampire their appearance is frozen in time, and this goes for the hair. When Lyra was turned her hair was long, past her shoulders and waving it’s way to her lower back, and because she had not had chance to freshen up in a while is was a messy disarray. Naturally as a vampire it has been some-what beautified, and now sits nicely upon her head with a slight wave and kink to it.

( EYES & FACE )
Like any other vampire this part of her appearance is hugely affect by way she is. Her eyes are a crimson colour when she feeds, and fade to a charcoal black when she has not hunted in a while. Though with the Volturi’s never-ending supply of blood, her eye stay near the crimson end of the scale. Then the face is just as angelic as the next vampire, she was not extraordinarily pretty in her human life, so neither is she compared with other vampires. Still her face is round, shaped nicely by her prominent cheek bones and looks distinctly young.

( HEIGHT & BUILD )
In her times Lyra would have been considered just under average height, however now being 5’2 is considered small. Still it does not bother; she likes her height it gives people the false impression about how powerful she can be. As for build for she was half starved when she was turned, as her only diet had been alcohol, she is thin and almost weedy looking

First Impressions:

On first impressions Lyra can look as a stupid little girl, and totally immature. What with her being frozen in the body of a seventeen year old, and having a somewhat careless personality, there is no other conclusion for people to draw. However she certainly changes their opinions, with further encounters. All in all, she does not give the best first impressions, but at least she leaves a slight impact even if it is not always good.

Personality:

( SPUNKY & DARING )
It has to be said, the Volturi are not the liveliest of people, what with being the living dead however Lyra differs slightly. For though Lyra is not exactly the complete opposite and hyper, jumping about the place, being altogether an annoying little sister, she certainly is rather spunky. Meaning she has a little bit of an attitude about her, as this can often come off as her looking a little bit more energetic than the rest of her coven. Lyra is the type not to sit about waiting for something to happen, but rather getting up and doing something, pushing the boundaries and enjoying what she has got. Along with this she can be rather daring, which she can allow herself to be as she can sense the probability of the out come of her actions, even change them if possible. Lyra challenges thing, and never takes anything lying down.

( FREE-SPIRITED & CARELESS )
To some of the coven Lyra is like a breath of fresh air, and to other she can been seen as a liability depending on uptight they are. Lyra is free-spirited, and not somebody to be held back at any costs. Due to her spunky and daring personality, she likes to push this life to its fullest. For instant she loves to drive fast cars, run to Paris and back in a day, jump off cliffs, anything and everything that pushes her limits and allows her to enjoy life she does it. That is why she loves her power so much, as it allows her to be this way. Not in the fact that she would ever harm herself doing these things, she is after-all a vampire and virtually indestructible, rather more in staying undetected. As she can sense the probability of a mortal seeing her, and also alter it she can get away with mostly anything…of cause within the laws of her masters. However saying that, her love for life often makes her a little careless and this is why she is seen as a liability to some of coven.

( DETERMINED & CUNNING )
When this girls her mind or sights on something she does not stop until she gets her. As she has the guts and daring nothing can stop her when she gets going. Which can be said be said with most vampires, when they set their eyes on their pray it would take a much stronger vampire to stand in her way. However for Lyra it does not stop there, if she sees’s something…anything she wants, she just has to get it and nothing stops her…well except maybe a higher authority. Still even then it would have to a really high authority, and she would still pine over whatever she had failed to get and because she is a bad looser she can be rather bratty afterwards. In the many years of living with this much determination, it has taught her be very cunning. Not to the point where she is ruthless and would do just about anything to achieve her goal, as she still has some morals, not to mention her gift often helps her so she does not have to resort to anything to drastic. Still she has learnt to be cunning, from her ‘family’ and from her desire to achive.

( BLUNT & HONEST )
Lyra is not something to mix her words, or for that matter hide her opinions and in-turn she can very blunt and brutally honest. This can often offend people, but she can often do it without noticing the affect that her words have. Lyra just thinks she is speaking her mind, as she hates dishonesty and often faced with it a lot with her gift as she can sense the probability of when people are telling lies. Still she has the talent of stating the uncomfortable truth, without realizing she is even doing so, it just slips out of her mouth.

( POSATIVE & SUPPORTIVE )
A girl who is spunky, daring, free-spirited and determined also has to look on the portative side of life and Lyra is no exception. She is just one of those people that cannot help but see the glass as half-full, rather half-empty. This comes as a little bit of change to most of the Volturi, as they can slightly negative, still Lyra never lets that bring her down. She loves her lot, she has a stable place to live, power and strength not to mention beauty, though sometimes life can be slow she knows it shall never be long till the next time she is sent out on a scouting mission. Whatever happen’s Lyra never fails to be the positive one in the bunch, and this often makes the supportive one. Saying that she has never resigned herself to a shoulder to cry on, as she just tells them to buck up their ideas and get on with it, while still being there to kind of hold their hand till they can stand on their own two feet.

HISTORY

Life:

Lyra was born to tradesman in 1805 in London at the cost of her mother. Leaving it was just her, her father Robert and her older brother Joseph. Due to her mothers death, and the fact they had very little family to look after them Lyra and Joseph was left in an orphanage, as her father traded good across the world, and could not have two screaming kids coming along with him. Still when they she turned nine, and her brother turned 11 her father picked them back up and set them to work on his ship. It was hard work, but Lyra loved it as it was like an adventure to her, and she got to see the world.

At the age of seventeen, the family decided to stop over in Italy, as their father was getting old and he needed to rest. Though what the family did not know was that what they thought was their dad getting old was him dying and after a week in Italy he passed away. Lyra –having only really just re-connected with her dad, after living most of her childhood away from him- was gutted at her fathers passing, and when a little off the rails for a while, loosing herself in the dark bars of the Italian streets and the arms of Italian men. Though this only lasted for a while, and she soon returned to her brother.

However when she returned to him, she found him homeless and job less, he was as much as a state as she was. Though for him it was less over his father, and more over their trading boat had been taken from them as they where too young to run a business. So that was that for them, however Lyra was not planning on giving up and letting her life rot away. She had a feeling there was a good chance of family in the neighbouring town, after-all their surname was Italian, so she persuaded her brother to come with her. Though along the way, they where attacked by a nomadic vampire, her brother was drained clean however when it came to Lyra he was disturbed, and she was left to transform. Though the lack of nutrition to her body, meant she blacked out from the pain.

Afterlife:

Awaking four days later, as the pain past and her stronger body took effect, she was completely confused. The last thing she remembered was walking, and then everything went blank she remembered nothing of the attack. Hours later somebody explained what had happened to her, and that a member of the guard had taken pity on her, as well as muting the chance of her attacking in their city. The following weeks they kept her out of sight, she was still a new-born and she had to learn control before she could go anywhere else in the headquarters. Lyra hated this, being kept out of sight and out of mind was not for her, and she wanted to get out though her new power told her that the chances of that where slim.

A year and a bit later she was allowed to roam just a little further that her small room, but it was still not enough for her, she wanted to get outside but her guard told her that was imposable. Later on that year, as her humanity began to fade, as well as her strength and wild thrust for blood, her vampire talent began to become more apparent. It was subtle and she put it down to luck of the game, though as she was able move further and further into the Volturi domain her power was sensed by another vampire, and no sooner did she had time to process it she joined the Volturi guard. Lyra finally was not longer made to hide away, and was free to wonder.

At first Lyra had a struggle to control her natural instincts to kill every human in sights, though as the decades past she was able to ignore it more and more. Which allowed her too get out more and more, and too fully enjoy what she was instead of being cooped up. Lyra was always one off the first to take every scouting mission that was available to her, enjoying the travel she once had as a human.

Coven Info: eck, can I move past this? I mean I have not plotted anything and I dont want to impose something on another character. I shall edit, when things are set, promise.

ALL ABOUT YOU

Name: Katie.
Age: sixteen
Other Characters: Alice Cullen
Other Sites: VotN and BT
Experience: oodles
Example1: its alice
Example2:

Alice did not move her eyes as Carlisle entered the room, kept them on Jane not watching as he welcomed Esme back home. Due to her talent she knew is reaction and it made her feel slightly ashamed of her reactions. He reacted so calmly to the arrival of Jane, trusting Esme and her judgment, rather than doubting her like she had done. Though she knew part of the doubt was down to the loyalty she had towards and Edward, Alice wished she had not been quite so, not rude, but so quick to judge Esme. After-all the two of them had been so kind to her, and accepted her and Jasper without question, why could Jane not be the same.

Looking up when Edward joined them in the room, she met his gaze with a calming smile, though she was no Jasper Alice knew it would make no difference. Edward was always going to react badly to this; it was only a matter of time before some piece of furniture paid for Esme's actions. Alice just hoped it did not touch anything to precious, though in the heat of the moment she could see he would grab anything and everything he could. And Alice was only one person, she could not get it all out Edward's way, it was a lost cause. Not even Esme's words would make a difference, he was a ticking time bomb like he was in Italy, however this time there was not their lives on the lines if he lost it just a little. All he needed was something to set him off.

Flicking her copper eyes from Edward, to her sister as she entered, she watched and waited for the realization to flicker across her face. Which did not take long, and her reaction was not shocking. It was not like her to think of anybody else, and her frank 'what the hell' was exactly what she had expected from her, though what Alice had not expected was this is what made Edward snap. Before she could even think, catch her vision, roll her eyes and mutter some light-hearted comment, a large crash echoed from the kitchen followed by a growl. Edward had officially snapped, and was destroying their designer kitchen.

"Fool" she muttered under her breath, following Edward and his trail of destruction - at human pace - into kitchen, just as he slammed the door to the garden. It was not a pretty sight, the rack where saucepans had hung, had been ripped from the wall and was now laying scattered about on the floor, and by the door part of the counter had had a huge chunk ripped out that lay broken by the door.

Moving lightly through the wreckage of the kitchen, that looked more like a bear had attacked it rather than a teenaged boy, Alice pulled open back door and followed Edward outside. Pulling the door shut behind her, Alice watched him pace the garden, as she pulled out a silver phone from her pocket, pressing the number's quickly and holding it too her ear. "Hi Jasper" her voice sounded, as her true love's voice greeted. "I think we could use you home, Edward is about to do his own impersonation of a nuclear bomb. We are round the back"

Snapping the phone shut, her copper eyes continued to follow Edward as he paced the garden. Alice did not say a word, as she knew he was listening to her thoughts.

Quote: I will look to like if looking like moving.
