[ Marina Bellamy ]

Marina went to the Academy because of... incidents.

She wasn't here to play "America's Next Top Nutjob" like the rest of the student body. Truth be told, she wanted to get better so she could hightail it out of here. Graduating in a school nobody knew about from an island that wasn't even on the map? How was she supposed to list her units of power classes without looking like a lunatic? What kind of job was she going to get?

She had her life perfectly planned out, and it was ruined because of stupid freaking bloodlust. Livers weren't even that tasty.

She thought the fangs, the claws and the frenzied states were bad enough, she apparently also had a voice thing. It helped her before, but now she hated it. It was one more thing that added to her freak show. What next, she was going to grow a mermaid tale?

Marina sighed as she paid for her Starbucks white chocolate Grande frappuccino with skim milk. Her new "powers adviser" assigned her a training body, Alison, Alice, Alexandra or something, and they arranged to meet after cheerleading practice in one of the Power Training rooms in the College. They weren't in College, but the rooms were more durable than the ones they had in High School.

Plus, there was a smaller chance of people recognizing her there.

Marina pocketed her wallet and her phone in her jacket. She was wearing sunglasses and a hat, mostly to blend in with the crowd so nobody would start asking her questions about power training. She opened the door to their assigned room...

Pulling her brown long hair back into a low ponytail which ran down a small, or average high, however you may look at it, female, who stood at the entrance of a college campus, her eyes glancing around nervously for a moment before she skipped inside almost agonisingly childishly, her blue eyes flicking back and forth almost nervously, but of course, the girl herself, who goes by Alyona, or Ally depending if you can say her name, was more excited than nervous, hopefully the girl she was supposed to meet for power class, which she hadn’t heard of until recently, wasn’t too much of a debby-downer or vain brat, oh how those people sucked.

Her face lit up in a beam thought, as she bounded towards the assigned room, her golden flecks mischievously dancing within her iris’ as her glance skidded from place to place, her strange excitement overwhelming the side of her that wanted to know how pretty she looked at if she was adorable enough to be called cute by whoever she may meet, because she loved that.

Praise was something Alyona absolutely loved, it made her feel better about herself, and yet most praise was for her looking pretty or about one specific feature, why must one not compliment a girl on looking like a child? The girl shook her head a few times, letting a small ‘tsk’ out of lips before she wondered into the power room place.

Noting its emptiness, the girl paused, and just stared at the room through her lashes for a few moments, taking a few deep breaths, how annoying. It wasn’t another second later before the girl started to look around the room, touching anything she possibly could, this marvel of her looking around only being interrupted by the sound of a door, a late door sound, one that made her cringe ever so slightly.

The girl gave her lavender overalls a pat down for a moment before spinning around on her heels to face the other girl, a beam across her face. Alyona surveyed the girl for a moment, taking in her mature appearance before walking over to her, her smile dying down slightly just so she didn’t weird the girl out.
She surveyed the girls blonde locks and clasped her hands together, looking into the females own blue eyes.

”Hello there, Marina was it?” The fifteen year old tilted her head, as if trying to remember, her voice register a high, not irregularly high, but almost tinker bell high tone.

"Yeah, it's Marina..." Marina took off her sunglasses to give the girl a once over.

It wasn't that she was ugly. Far from it. She had a cute face. It was very... Ariana Grande. But that was why Marina didn't like Ariana in the first place, she thought. Everything about her screamed sexy twelve year old and that was so wrong. She preferred the Natalie Dormers. Natalie had a baby face but with a fashion sense and a smirk that said "I can kill you with my hands tied behind my back."

"Excuse me, how old are you? I thought you were around my age? Fifteen or sixteen? Why are you wearing overalls?" She pointed at her head down to her toes. "You're in High School, right?"

Alyona was taken aback by the remark, and let out a small huff of air to control herself, relax Ally, it’s all going to be ok. The female looked at Marina up and down before answering.

“Oi, don’t knock off overalls, they're comfy and can be adorable if you were them right.”

If Alyona was going to knock an insult her way, it didn’t look like it, she couldn’t come up with anything, since the girl wore clothing so modern that it was hard to find one that didn’t insult anybody else, so instead, the girl placed a hand on her hips and sighed.

“And yes, I am in high school, that’s the whole reason why I’m here.”

Alyona glanced around, a little disappointed at the vibe she was getting from the female infront of her, before toying with a loose strand of hair, oh this female… Ally wasn’t sure what to make of it!

"After thirteen, trying to be adorable just attracts creepy boys and weeaboos. Just so you know."

Marina removed her hat and sunglasses. She took a few moments to fluff up her luxurious blonde hair before pulling out her pink, glittery notebook from her totes kawaii panda backpack. She licked her thumb and flipped through the pages.

"All right. You're supposed to have voice powers too... right? Do you have any idea how yours work?"

"Boys are gross."

The brown haired girl tossed her ponytail over her shoulder and poked her tongue out, she really didn't care what the hell this girl thought, especially if it was making fun of the attire she chose to wear. The girl shuffled through her own backpack, before she paused to look to the other girls backpack, almost eyeing it with a strange desire. A strained giggle escaped from her throat before she shook her head at herself and placed her hands on her hips, causally leaning back to and from her balls of her feet to the toes.

Hearing the girls question, the girl grinned with an unseen cockiness. Of course she had voice powers, that's why she sounded so flipping adorable! Alyona coughed into her fist before altering her voice slightly, trying to imagine the pitch and tone and the slight bass boost of Marina's own voice, before mimicking it with a slight difference, trying to sound more mature.

"That I do, it's basic and a pretty weak power, but pretty cool, I mean I can alter my voice to any range, imagine the lowest you possibly can, then the opposite of that, easily I can probably blow up somebody's eardrums!"

The girl punched her fists together before waving them around dramatically, trying to act out an explosion, before nodding at herself for the explaining being good, it was good.

Marina nodded. She had to agree. Boys were gross. Being heterosexual was the worst curse that could ever be inflicted on women. "I hear that."

And she heard that. Her eyebrows raised as the girl used a voice that was very, very similar to hers. She nodded in approval, crossing her arms and wearing a friendlier, more casual posture.

"All right, Ally, color me impressed. Can you sing?"

It was a given the female could, if she could control her tone and vocal thing, it was a little hard not to be able to, but that didn't mean she liked singing. Alyona gave a quick nod, and resting her hands lazily behind her back, clasped together of course.

"Yeah, if I want to that is, I mean if I wish to be tone deaf, that is an option too."

Ally made her way over to a table, and propped herself ontop of it, swinging her legs back and forth casually, before looking back at the other girl.

"Can you sing?"

Marina shrugged. "My old voice teacher cried because she'd never seen someone with my range before. But..."

She leaned against the wall and sipped on her frapuccino idly. She was... remembering. One time, her voice teacher wanted her to sing a ballad in a mini concert held in the school auditorium. She had practiced for weeks memorizing the ballad, and when she sent the tape to her teacher, she said she got it perfectly. Come the day she had to perform, she sang it the same way she did on the demo tape, but —

Everybody in the auditorium fell asleep. Marina was so mortified that she cried on stage and left. Oddly enough, nobody remembered the social blunder for some reason.

She looked at Ally again. She didn't falter, exactly. It was more like she looked angry. Bitter. "Ally... have you ever put a bunch of people to sleep with your singing before?"

Her blue orbs widened slightly towards the blonde she was communicating with, maybe she had experienced some past trauma, that must be the reason why she suddenly seems off... But it wasn't Ally's place to ask anything about this, so she placed a tangle of brown hair behind her ear and naively smiled, a tight lipped smile, the gold specks in her eyes seemed to swirl slightly as she responded.

"My species aren't exactly voice based in their abilities, so I honestly haven't." She chirped, titling her head and letting her ponytail whip over her shoulder slightly. What Marina said hinted towards what she was, already she could tell the female had a very voice based ability, but it was possible she was overthinking it, and reminiscing about her past may have brought a spark alight in her, that was something she'd have to remember if she were to communicate with the popular Marina out of school hours, which probably would be a little difficult.

"I doubt your song was horrible thought! You seem like the kind of girl with an adorable voice, so rule out the option of it being boring, infact, don't even think about that!"

The girl inched closer to Marina and looked at her up and down, before giggling.

"We're here for power training or whatever, so don't get your brain muddled up, it could effect your powers...?" Oh gosh, Alyona was becoming less adorable by the second with her smart 'she knew what was going on talk', she had to dumb it down, she had to! "Or something." Bullseye.
