Age: 15 at death...oh wait, she's still 15.
Birthday: November 4th
Gender: Female

Class: High School
Grade: 10th grade

Appearance Description:


Let us tackle the elephant in the room. Yes, there is a dragon coming out of her head. That is Vojin, her protector and the reason why she's wandering around alive in the first place. There's a description of him later. She is a 5'0'' tall girl with B cups. Her waist and torso is small, but her hips and butt are huge. They are ridiculously much larger than her top half. She has long legs with a bit of meat to them. Her body has rotten somewhat, so her skin is blue and her once-black hair now has a bluish hue. Her skin is entirely intact for the most part, but there's two large holes in her head that go through her skull in a diagonal trajectory that makes it easy for the dragon to crawl through. Her eyes are red from discoloration as well. Yes that sounds weird, but just go with it. It's a zombie. And oh, her mouth is stitched together. She wants the stitches gone.

Vella wears goth girl clothes. This means she wanders about in striped socks and wears mostly dark color palettes with skull designs. She prefers dresses and skirts, so that's what she wears exclusively. Pants can be rather annoying to put on when you're dead. Tight pants especially are annoying. She never bothers wearing makeup anymore, but she does still wear jewelry from time to time. Her skirts tend to be on the longer side; she's quite the lady, and ladies should show off their goodies in more conservative ways. She also does this because she doesn't really wear undergarments anymore, and she'll be damned if someone sees what's up her dress.

Vojin has two forms. His dragon form is a serpent that alters color and is reflective; see the powers section for more information. His human form is a 6'2'' man with jet black hair and gold eyes. He wears glasses but doesn't actually need them. Well, he doesn't need them in the same sense that most people do. His skin is pale but healthy, and he has a solid build. His uniform conceals his incredibly fit physique. He has broad shoulders and long legs. He appears to be somewhere within his twenties, but he's actually thousands of years old. He's certainly aged well.


Personality Description: Vella definitely hails from a rich family. She's very much a lady of high society with her polite mannerisms and behaviors. She always crosses her legs; she prefers tea; she can identify which is the proper fork to use for dessert. She's a bonne belle except she lacks a Southern accent and origin. She is very genre savvy and pretty snarky, but it's hard to tell that when she's forcibly mute. While she is really a sweet person, part of her mannerisms is an act. She has to keep up good appearances. In reality, she's a sassy but kind female that isn't as adverse to cursing as her butler. Yes, Vojin does scold her when she stops being lady-like.

Vojin is the perfect butler. He's very gentlemanly and proper. He prides himself in good manners and often wishes he could switch back to his human form. However, he is not as patient as his lady. Oh no, he actually has a short and fierce temper. Do not hurt or insult his Velly. The dragon has undying loyalty to the girl and treats her like his baby sister. He enjoys puzzles and riddles. He does not condone cursing or rude words, but he will say them in frustration and often apologize before he does so. He's also a closet pervert, so he'll understand lewd jokes and subtle innuendos.


Powers: Velly is an undead banshee. Yeah, laugh at the irony of it. Her being a banshee doesn't really affect her since she doesn't have any powers in relation to it. Her body is always cold and rigid, so this makes her more resilient than a normal human. It also makes stretching difficult, so she probably shouldn't go into Yoga. It no longer ages, and she does not have to worry about basic human needs. Due to the nature of her reanimation, she regenerates whenever she is damaged. One would have to completely break the spell that keeps her alive in order to kill her. Or re-kill her I guess.

*Important note on the spell: it's powered by Vojin's link to her. If they move too far away from each other, then she falls over dead. She is then only revived by him coming back in close proximity to her and charging a bit of magic into her like a defibrillator.*

Vojin has been her familiar and butler through life and undeath. Since Vella has never had any real combat ability, she was given a familiar like many of her relatives. He is really her "power". He is a mirror dragon. This is a glass dragon variant that has a really reflective surface. Mirror dragons can camouflage and change colors in dragon form by reflecting the surface they are on much like chameleons. He is no exception to this. It's limited to himself. However, his type cannot fly and behave similarly to certain reptiles. What he can do is spit glass shards at people. No, that doesn't hurt his mouth at all. It's more annoying than deadly. He's a dragon, not a machine gun.

He can shapeshift like a normal dragon. This means he has a dragon form and a human form. His dragon form has the camouflage ability. In human form he can utilize his proficiency with knives to fight. In both forms, he can use mirrors to reflect attacks in a defensive-based combat style. He's built off of countering attacks. It's effective against projectiles of all kinds and spells targeted at Vojin. Does nothing to melee attacks. He does this by charging the glass with magic. In dragon form, he is a mirror so he can charge his own body for the effect. In human form, he has to utilize external sources. He needs glass or a reflective surface to use this. He can't generate mirrors. This also uses up magical energy with each attack reflected. The stronger the attack, the more energy is depleted. Fireballs are easy; an explosion would take up majority of his energy reserve. Also noted is that regular mirrors will break after a couple of good hits since they're not as durable as magic mirrors.


Biography: Justine was of the wealthy Sephtis family, a family on the island that tends to lean more to the arts. They are one of the high society families on the island, known by other families They still remain on the island, but there are certain...entities that have made their presence shady. Their estate serves as a cover-up for criminal operations. Crime Lords and Godfathers alike use them to complete illegal deals and transactions without getting caught. They are the medium, and in a twist of fate are forced to act on the high society stage as the upstanding citizens they used to be.

It all started when the Sephtis funds were steadily depleting. They were running into hard times and risked losing their status within society. How horrible would they look if they went bankrupt! Refusing to lie down, the head chose to communicate with loan sharks. These loan sharks helped them out of their bind and gave them the funds they needed to keep going. There was just one issue though: the ludicrous amount of debt they would have to pay back to the loan sharks. Threats were delivered to the family. If they were not compensated for their services, then there would be huge repercussions. Their reputations and their lives were at stake.

This led to a downward spiral as more effort was put in to prevent the deterioration of their public facades while also paying back the loan sharks. This eventually linked them with the criminal world as they began their work playing as the middle man for many illegal exchanges. This was a way of performing paid favors. Various items were exchanged via these meetings. Sometimes it was drugs; sometimes it was plans to perform an operation; sometimes it was even creatures or people. Most were resolved fairly peacefully, but there were a few rough encounters here or there.

Vella was alive during this downward spiral and grew up not knowing what was going on. She was apart of the branch family along with her older sister and younger brother, so the head of the family was her uncle. She didn't know what her uncle was doing behind the scenes. She enjoyed a carefree life where she studied, socialized, and sung. She was a banshee ironically enough. There were likely other races mixed in her blood because the Sephtis family was a fey family. She grew up with a love of singing and theater. She took private lessons and also joined clubs at school that would enhance her talents. She had good grades and a promising future. She would be the next star.

...Well, if it wasn't for her death.

Externally, a terrible accident impaled the beautiful Justine through the skull and killed her. In reality, she was shot to death. She had the misfortune of accidentally stumbling into a private exchange between crime lords. A massive shipment of illegal magical drugs One of those crime lords was the ruthless Abia Defan. When the blonde spotted the girl watching them, she raised Hell about it and had her grabbed and dragged into the center of the room. Vella stared fearfully at the drug lord. Her pastel pink clothes directly contradicted the furious glare on her pale face. She shivered in terror as whimpers escaped her lips. That was when Abia broke out into a devilish smirk.

"Boys, looks like we'll have to silence a mouse."

The girl screamed as she was held down on the ground. Then Abia stepped in with a box of tools and sewed the girl's mouth shut. Many tears rolled down Justine's face as she was propped up onto her knees. That was when one thug pulled out a gun. He lifted her ponytail and placed it against the side of her head. On Defan's mark, the girl was shot dead. The tools were disposed of, and the gun had a silencer on it. All of the people involved wore gloves. The scene of the crime was cleaned up and the body was placed into a temporary space before being set up in such a way to imply an accident at a different location.

There was no proper autopsy done, and it was a closed casket wake. The proceedings aroused the suspicions of her loyal familiar Vojin. He was a dragon that served the Sephtis family for many years. He was a mirror dragon trained in combat for the purpose of acting as a bodyguard. He especially became fond of Vella; he watched her grow up and took care of her. He was a bodyguard to her and had a handsome human form that he tended to her in. Vojin chose to investigate Vella's death. He managed to figure out that there was something off about the "accident" and that the head was clearly closed lips about it.

This left him with only one option: find out from the dead girl herself.

He dug up the young actress's body and used his fading link with her and his inherent magical nature as a dragon to bring her back to life via the dark arts. However, this was not normal necromancy; he was reviving her to be purposefully sentient and to have her memories when she woke up. Because of the process he used, he ended up sacrificing a lot of magical energy to ensure that Justine Marvella Sephtis would come back to life.

And she did.

She rose from her grave with memories of almost everything but her death. Her death was so traumatic for her that her mind blocked the memory out. Left with this dilemma, she chose to walk the Earth again with Vojin to find out the truth of her death and to eventually take down the ones responsible. Her family's honor is at stake.
