LISSANDRA eleanor WINTER

NICKNAME(S): Lisa or Ellie, either work good
AGE: 18
APPEARANCE AGE: 18
DATE OF BIRTH: 2/14/1994
DATE OF CHANGE: 5/17/2013
BIRTHPLACE: according to her accent somewhere in England
HOMETOWN: unknown to her
CURRENT RESIDENCE: Harper Valley

SPECIES: vampire
DIET: as a newborn vampire, she drinks mainly human blood, however there are some days of guilt when she hunts only animals
MAIN ANIMAL: -
AFFILIATION: currently she is not affiliated with anyone
OCCUPATION: none

HEIGHT: 5'8
WEIGHT: 145.2
HAIR: sandy brown and a bit longer than her shoulders
EYES: brown; when thirsty they turn into crimson
SCARS/MARKS: she has a long scar running down her back. Though she does not remember the origin of it, she likes to think of it as a scar gotten from a car accident. There are several smaller cuts on her hands and legs as well, indicating that she might have injured herself at some point in the past.
PERSONAL STYLE: for some strange reason she had always had a thing for shiny and sparkling things. That is why she always has her expensive, although not working, watch with her. Her ear rings, made of pure gold, are assumed to be a gift from either her parents, maybe a best friend or even a boyfriend if she had one, are always worn, though she never demonstrates those to the world. For some reason she had always kept those items close to her.
As for the clothes, Lissandra wears pretty much everything. Jeans, skirts, shirts, dresses and high heels.
SPECIES APPEARANCE: -

ABILITY: hypnotism – she can hypnotize not only her prey but also other night creatures and animals. She uses this ability to make her prey forgot of what happened and feed safely.

LIKES: silence, nature, night, blood, music, old books (especially classics), parks, birds, cats
DISLIKES: daylight, sun, hunting, pointless fights and violence, humans
STRENGTHS: martial arts; although it is listed that she does not like violence nor fights, she is very skilled in self defence and one of her methods is chi-blocking (that means that if she hits a certain nervous point, her opponent will lose his/her casting powers for a while and the muscles will grow numb, this effect will wear off soon however, lasting only for 5-15 minutes); tracking her prey, the ability to keep life in her prey after feeding (she does now drain them from their blood, but leaves a good amount of it); her hypnotizing is rather strong. if she compells someone, its either forever or if the spell should wear off, it resembles strongly to a dream, most likely a nightmare, but there is no clear evidence of her attakcs. The victims would not remember her face regardless of their "attention". Currently she is only able to manipulate with maximum of two mortals at the same time.
WEAKNESSES: lack of knowledge about her past; her hands are stained and the faces of those she killed haunt her; silver; sun; she is sort of afraid of other creatures should they exist; after using her ability to hypnotize a person, she has to intake more blood than usually and she either needs to have a physical or eyecontact with them. Using this ability usually tires her a bit, but not enough to make her weak.
HABITS/QUIRKS: it appears she has obsessive compulsive disorder. Regardless of her being a vampire now, Lissandra has to wash her hands from time to time, no matter how clean and pure they are. She doesn't really like physical contact, so even if it is only a handshake, she'd rather not touch anyone she doesn't know (not that knowing anyone would mean to her anything); she blinks more often when she curses or lies; hiding her tracks in every way possible
FEARS: death; her past and what might become of her in the future;
SECRETS: when she first fed on her victim, she stole his wallet in fear that she might not have enough money on her own. Later, feeling guilty, she returned his belongings
GOALS: first: to see if there is an actual way to regain her memories, second: to see if there is a possibility of becoming a human again and third: socialize more an try to sate her hunger.

FATHER: unknown
MOTHER: unknown
SIBLINGS: unknown
OTHER FAMILY: none
OTHER IMPORTANT PEOPLE: her creator most likely but she has no idea who this being was or is

OVERALL PERSONALITY: lissandra, although very quiet in the beginning, is a very outgoing girl once you really get to know her. She loves a good joke, people who know how to keep the conversation up and she's the type of girl who'd avoid the unwanted awkward silence.
She has a very low self-esteem. Even though she is beautiful with her pale skin, dark brown eyes that shine ever so innocently, especially when she wants something, and her soft hair, she doesn't see herself as a perfection nor does the vampire know how to use her own flaws in her own favor. Instead, to get what she wants, she uses her hypnotizing abilities, thus also confirming that she can be quite manipulative at times.
Lissandra's mind is possessed by never ending curiosity. When she meets someone, she always has many questions to ask and she tries to find out her own methods to answer her questions. If not satisfied with the answers, she might start pressuring on either herself to go on or others, although she is a bit more polite when it comes to the other individuals. Even as a vampire she is quite loyal and the girl knows how to keep her promises, however she herself has trust issues. When talking with her victims before feeding on them, Lisa discovered that they felt relatively at ease with her, often even revealing their own stories and secrets and, in return, she has never told anyone about what she heard, only wrote it all down in her personal diary.

HISTORY: Lissandra doesn't remember anything of her own past, where she was born, who were her parents if she had any and how she ended up near Harper Valley. Her first memory was feeling the endless thirst for something she had never even cared about: blood. As she was buried in the forest, she could not find any people around so her first victim was only a deer, but it did not satisfy her for long.
After taking down her first human, a lone traveler, she began exploring her 'belongings'. She discovered that she had a beautiful necklace around her neck, probably coming from the 19th century. It was well kept and opening it up, she could read the name which she took upon herself: Lissandra Eleanor Winter. The other belongings, such as the very old looking keys, a strange purse which had no documents, only some cards with contacts on them, Lisa soon discovered that she was alone. Her attempts to remember her past were effortless – even if she had one, even if she really had friends, she could not remember even their faces. As a newborn vampire, she wandered the land for a while, scouting in hopes to find the one responsible for her change, but again, it was as effortless as finding the links to her former life. It looked like her creator simply disappeared into the night and left her there. After that the only way to survive was to rely on the facts known from the movies and books about the vampires: stay out of the sunlight, keep away from churches and silver.
It took her quite a while to understand how to hunt properly and she started taking off children first. Her main victims were the orphans. After that she moved on to the elders, the ones who were ready to leave this world and she only acted as their salvation. Her curiosity, and still the lonely feeling, did allow her to rest so she began going through the documents she had in the purse. Holding the addressed given in mind, she had to explore the whole Harper Valley before she ended up near an old, but well kept house, ironically isolated from everyone. Upon scouting, she could hear quiet heartbeats coming from the house, and, collecting herself, Lissandra decided that there was nothing to lose anymore.
The woman living in that house was already waiting for her. Once invited in, she was only explained that the house and its belongings were now hers. The next day the woman was gone, leaving the girl alone and her questions not answered.

Lovely app. Before I can accept her though could you please include her ability's weakness and/or limitation? Something like....does she require more blood intake if she uses her hypnotizing ability rather than her vampire ability to compel humans, can she only use it against one person or is she able to do two at once, does it last for a certain period of time, or does she have to touch the person first? Just one or two is fine and it can be as simple as you wish. Once she has a weakness and/or limitation she will be accepted (:
