Character Name: Serena Saunders

Age: 20

Race: Human

Gender: Female

Appearance: She's 5 feet, six inches tall, with gold-ish hair that goes to the middle of her back and pale skin. Her eyes are a silver color and very sharp, which shatters any illusions of a gentle, innocent person given by her round chin. She's rather skinny, not so much so as to be anorexic, but it's obvious at this point of her life that she's recently been sick. She prefers loose clothes that do not limit movement, and prefers pants, though she will wear simple skirts.

History: Born in Britain, adopted into an American family which died in a car wreck, putting her into an orphanage. She was often teased in school because of her pale skin, but it didnt really bother her. When she was fourteen, she began to be plagued with terrible nightmares, and took to only sleeping for a short while every night, and to this day she only gets a good night's sleep if there's someone else in the room. The crime rate was so high in the neighborhood where she was living that she'd seen many people killed or dead by the time she was seventeen, and went a bit crazy because of it. Her mind couldnt handle so much death and destruction, and when her best friend, Ryan, was shot right in front of her, she could no longer force the illusion upon herself that all the crime and destruction she saw was just one of her nightmares. She never was institutionalized, but she never was quite right afterward, either. She was kicked out of the orphanage when she went crazy, and spent some time on the streets before being taken in by an older couple, who died just before her twentieth birthday. She became very ill when they died, and spent two months trying to get back on her feet.

Personality: Despite her rough background, she really is a kind woman. She often hides behind jokes and forced smiles, and tries to be a person everybody will like, instead of showing her true colors. Her greatest fear is that someone will discover that she isn't "quite right." She doesnt trust easily, though she does have a good sense of people. She doesnt like violence, as she's had too much of it in her past, but she's not afraid of fighting.

Weaknesses: She's pretty useless with a gun. She's a mortal woman, so anything that will kill a human will kill her.

Weapon: Knives, and fists.

Other: Can sense the presense of others, and if others had been in the room before, and sometimes sees ghosts. These gifts lend to her mental instability.

Cassiopeia "Cassie" Cooper
Age: 19
Sex: Female
Appearance: 5'8", skinny, dark blonde hair, grey eyes, and an almost haughty air
Personality: She doesn't show emotions, especially ones such as anger or sadness, deeming them inappropriate. Cassie has a mental disorder that keeps her from understanding limits, so when she gets in a fight, she often beats her opponent nearly to death.

Natalia Cooper

Personality: Natalia's a sweetheart and not afraid to show that she cares. However, many people are annoyed by the youngest Cooper girl because she never grew up. She has the emotional maturity of a ten-year-old and is prone to burst into tears at the drop of a hat.

History
Their mother died when Gavin was eight, and caused him to have a mental breakdown. He was institutionalized for a year. Their father had left when Natalia was born, leaving Cassie to take care of Natalia while he was gone, and when he came back, she took care of him, too, since he was in no shape to take care of the girls. They hid in an old, run-down shack instead of chancing an orphanage and getting seperated, for Natalia and Gavin's sake, anyway. As they got older and Gavin settled, Cassie took to disappearing for long periods of time, leaving her older brother to take care of her younger sister, thus forming a bond between them that Cassie became incredibly jealous of.
