Name: Aurianne Grandis
Age: 16-17
Birthday: October 17th
Gender: Female
Species: Spirit
Category: Student
Class: High School
Grade: Junior
Appearance Description:
Aurianne has long, ashen-gray hair (think stone-colored) and a pale complexion, complimenting her curvy build and short frame. Her eyes are a bit more strange - piercing blue that seems to stare right into your soul. She's average height for her age, and a healthy weight, too. Usually stylish clothing (think skirts/blazers/blouses/oxford shirts etc. Maybe a hat), no jewelry of any kind save for the aura bracelet. Sea-oriented prints (seashells, nautical patterns, etc.)
In her other forms, her scales always have a green-blue sheen to them, and her dragon form ups the ante with the addition of stone-grey as an accent color in many of her features, such as many of her scales. No matter what. she keeps her blue eye color - it just darkens with her sclera in her serpent and dragon forms.
Personality Description: Being taught that privacy is a dear thing has really had in impact on Aurianne - she looks to be about the most stuck-up person you could meet. She rarely shares things about herself, and doesn't trust others to keep promises, as her mother, grandmother, and great-aunts have all had promises made to them and broken. She's very vain and will always make sure she's the best-looking one there. This is behavior, though, quite fitting of a young French woman, to those who know the French stereotypes.
If you are lucky enough to have gotten through all of her snobbiness and fronting, you'll see that she's actually quite pleasant. Once she trusts you, she really opens up and tells you about things, gives you advice, and makes sure you're okay. She still does need privacy and everything, and she is still a bit snobby, but things work out in your favor, and you gain an actually pleasant friend.
Active Abilities:
Shift Shape
Aurianne can shift shape at will. Usually this means turning into a dragon, like her ancestors before her, but it also gives her access to both her fish and serpent forms when needed for their abilities. She cannot shapeshift into just anything -only those three forms, and her human form. In all forms she retains her human form's amount of strength, speed, and agility.
Shift Shape: Fish Form
When Aurianne is in her fish form, she can swim better than she normally would, thanks to her powerful fish tail replacing her legs. Her skin turns scaly and tough, and she needs to carry water with her in order to survive. She can breathe underwater in this form, and she can manipulate the water to a certain degree, provided she is in the water. Once even her hand is out of the water, she loses this ability. Aurianne is much more reserved, calm, and logical in this form.
Shift Shape: Serpent Form
When Aurianne is in her serpent form, much like her fish tail, her legs turn into a massive ball of snakes - think something like a dracaenea. Her skin turns into a smooth scaly substance, her tongue lengthens and acts much like a snake's tongue would, her teeth grow to become fanged and wicked, and her eyes gain a black sheen. It should be noted that she posesses no venom. Aurianne is much more cunning, brazen, and cruel in this form.
Shift Shape: Dragon
In this form, Aurianne's entire body transforms to take on a draconian appearance. Her scales are tough and sharp, her teeth are pointed, and her eyes gain a glazed-over look, like she's deep in thought. She cannot breathe fire, but instead spits water and breathes frost. Her wings have a span of about 6 meters. Can fly. Throughout this transformation, she has a lowered sense of humanity and is more susceptible to rage or flight from the situation and is not able to communicate, though those who have telepathic abilities may talk to her.
Passive Abilities:
Shift Shape: Forced Snake
When the sun sets on a Friday, she transforms into her serpent form for the entire weekend. She cannot control this serpentine shift, as it is a curse on her family, and cannot shift back to a human-looking form until sunset on Sunday.
Attraction Aura
During all forms except for her serpentine form, she emits an aura of allure about her, extending to about 3 feet around her. She cannot turn this off. Mostly piques people's curiosity about her - they want to know more about her.
If someone is attracted to her (doesn't matter the gender), the power grows, capping at about 4x regular power, enough to hold a lot of sway over their actions and even convince them to commit crimes for her.
In her serpentine form, the aura flips - it becomes an aura which diffuses disgust, and is extended to 5 feet. She is seen as more hideous than she really is. Enough power to cause a person to feel revulsion and even rage when in range, and the power grows if the person is attracted to her, capping at 4x the regular power.
Weaknesses:
Aversion to Metal
Anything made of metal, in particular silver or gold, is toxic to her skin. Touching a golden or silver object for longer than 3 seconds without it either being a) magic or b) separated by a layer of cloth gives her serious chemical burns on whe area where she touched the metal. Less serious offenders, like aluminium or steel, take longer to burn her (grand total of ten seconds) but do irritate her skin until the burning starts.
Command of Magic
Aurianne is weak to fire magic, due to her water-nymph heritage, and any spell summoned by a mage will hurt her twice as much as it would a regular human. Avalonian artifacts also have much sway over her.
Shift Pain
It is painful for Aurianne to shift, especially with her full-body forms, because her bones are rearranging themselves to shift her legs (or entire body if transforming into a dragon) into a fish/sepent form. Changing back is also painful. The least painful form for her is her fish form, with the most painful being the dragon form. She cannot shift between forms until an hour has passed (i.e transforms into fish -> wait 1 hour in fish form before turning human.) This is to give her bones time to heal and fuse into place. The longer she waits, the less painful it is.
Common Magical Items:
Aura Warning Bracelet: While not actually magical, Manta Carlos distributes customized bracelets for those with auras. Depending on the shape and color, people can tell at a glance the approximate range and nature of the aura of the wearer.
Biography:
Aurianne was born on the north coast fo France to one completely "normal" Frenchman, and one Melusinic woman who was overjoyed to finally have a daughter to call her own. The father wasn't quite as happy, to say the least - he didn't even get to see his daughter when she was first born.
Even still, they raised her as part of their family, not paying much attention to the rising tensions between her mother and her father. She learned to speak French and Latin, as requested by her mother, and seemed to be a well-adjusted kid.
Until one night, when the tension between her father and mother reached a peak that exploded into a screaming match. What with all the demands Aurianne's mother was asking of her father, all to just hog the kid to herself, never to let him in on weekends and never to give him any semblance of alone time, what was the father supposed to do?
Aurianne's mother only replied with a sob, an affirmation that it was for his own good, and a glance at the door.
That evening happened to be a Friday.
Aurianne's father was affected by her mother's aura and flew into a rage, running down the hill towards the nearby village to shout about demons and such. To absolutely no one's surprise, no one listened, and one even called the cops on him, fearing he was intoxicated. Or high. That family on the coast was a weird, if fairly well-off, family.
Seeing that no one was listening, the father only had one other option - to deal with it himself.
Meanwhile, the father's rage had terrified Aurianne's mother, and while the father was out, she packed up, told Aurianne to follow her, and fled to Avalon. To this day, no one believes the old drunkard, anyway - that stuff was only for fairytales, not for yelling at the sunset.
Aurianne spent the next chunk of her life going to a private academy in Avalon, growing up and making friends, but her mother always warned her never to trust anyone too much, or else they could be in real danger.
A week ago, she transferred from the private academy in Avalon to a program at Starlight Academy, which her mother hopes will help develop her powers and keep them well under wraps, lest another of the Melusine - or, excuse me, the Grandis clan now - be betrayed by another broken promise or a revealed secret.
Resources:
Antiques: from her mother's collection, helps her feel safe & closer to her mother. Comes in the form of small trinkets.
Residency: because her mother lives in Manta Carlos, Aurianne lives with her, and thus has no dorm at Starlight.
Money: Allowance from her mother.
