Gender: Female

Type: Vampire

Description:

            Lalita has full black hair that reaches down to her lower back and beautiful deep blue eyes. Her skin is porcelain perfect, always extremely pale and practically white… and her flesh seems to be without even the slightest flaw.

            She has an angelic face, delicate curves, and is a petite woman, standing only 5’0ft… and is usually mistaken for a teenager. She normally dresses in Goth attire, especially since it has come back into fashion. She personally loves the style and the dark colors against her skin. She is also usually always seen wearing a corset as well.

  Mental Description:

            She can seem very lonely at times and a bit distant, but she is kind and compassionate at heart. She is very polite, normally calm, independent and always tries to think over a situation before she acts or makes a decision. And though she enjoys being social with others, she often tends to be a loner.

            She is usually submissive towards others, especially men because that is how it was in the time period she was raised. But just because she is submissive, she is not a slave and she will stand up for what she thinks is right if need be.

  Weakness:

            She is a loner. Therefore she does not have a family group, support, or many allies. She can come off as distant and usually not make the first move towards anyone, which results in small amounts of friends.

            She has a fear of commitment, in relationships, families, and elsewhere. The only thing she had ever committed to is her ‘pride and joy,’ her violin.

  Background:

            Lalita was the only daughter in her wealthy family when she was a mortal. During those times, being a girl meant she was to be married off to a suitor. She had begged her father and the priests not to force her into marriage, claiming she had found someone she loved. However, the boy she had fallen in love with was only a handsome servant boy who worked in the stables… and the moment she let slip that it was he whom she loved, her father ordered him killed in fear for his daughters virginity.

            His death had broken her heart… not just because he had died, but also because she never told him how she felt. In fact, the poor boy did not even know what he did wrong… screaming out ‘what did I do?!’ before he was killed.

            She was heartbroken and in panic… determined not to obey her fathers wishes after his horrible act, but she did not see a way out. And when all seemed lost for her, one man heard her pleas and took pity on her (or so she believes). He told her he would help, as long as she was willing to die for freedom. She had thought he meant suicide, and in her own grief she agreed and they arranged a meeting time.   

            When she met him again, she was ready to die… having written a note and dressed in her finest attire. When he explained to her just how she would die and what she would then become, she still did not truly understand… thinking him more of a priest lecturing her about hell and its punishments. She assured him she did not care whether she lived forever as a demon or died that night, as long as she was unbound from her family chains and did not have to marry her suitors (most of which were three times her age). And so he did what she asked…

            Lalita only knew her Sire by the name he gave her, Samuel. When she was embraced, she was given only some instructions… Do not go into the sunlight, remember to feed every night, and never let anyone know of her ‘condition.’

            He arranged for her to be moved away to live a solitary life, at least for a few years, in a small manor with some servants… all which he paid for in advance.  He stayed with her the first few nights, but his visits become less frequent during the first year and then finally stopped.

            At first, it was very hard adjusting to her new life, having been religious as a mortal, but she soon adapted and found peace in it. During her time in the manor she was able to feed safely and perfect the arts of the time… including the violin, which had become her only love and comfort.

            Though the manor had its charm, she was forced to leave when the servants started becoming suspicious of the young woman who never aged. After leaving, she traveled for a some time meeting different people and some vampires on the way… she even picked up some minor spells on her travels and combined them with her own skills.

            She never stayed in one place too long. She looked like a teenager for the most part, after all, and mortals always began to notice how young she ‘stayed.’ Therefore, she would move every ten years in mortal society. This did not bother her, however, because she never really had much luggage to begin with.

            She has had many jobs in the mortal world, experiences which she will share and others she will not. She never took a mate or a love… having found men to be very uncaring in nature for the most part. If she does choose to spend a night with a man, she is usually gone right afterwards, which is normally not very protested… after all, sometimes the way she dresses and her petite form can make her look like a minor.

  Abilities: (under review)

  Healing:

            Healing Touch - Focusing energy into the fingers and placing them over wounds increases the speed the flesh mends. Hands must remain over the wound, pushing healing energy into it. Therefore, the larger the wound or burn, the weaker the caster will get. Usually only used on minor wounds.

Violin Magic: Unique abilities and spells Lalita had personally created using her minor magic knowledge. Can only be used when playing a violin (does not have to be a specific one).

  ~~~Illusion: Makes some things appear real when they are not.

  Level 1 - (Harmony) - When beginning to play, the listeners can hear an orchestra or music of the violinists’ choice, in the background. Therefore, it can seem like an entire orchestra is playing when only she is.

  Level 2 - (Fantasy Illusion) - Makes an illusion around her body... This can be anything from making light dance, to changing outfits by ‘magic’ in front of the listeners’ eyes.  It is only an illusion, so though the light or outfit may seem completely real, and even is touchable, it is not and will fade away when the violinist wishes, or the violin is put down.

  Level 3 - (Hallucination) Can make an illusion throughout the room only when playing. Can range from seeming to dim lights to create a more intimate mood, to seeming to create a vast jungle if need be.

  ~~~Mood Swing: Can affect the mood of the people listening to the song. This depends on the current mood of the song itself. Like any music, it can lighten someone’s mood or darken it.

  Level 1 - (Emotion Tint) Playing the right melody causes hints of the emotion to affect someone’s mood. For example, it can hint at and increase happiness, excitement, sorrow, loneliness, or anger.

  Level 2 - (Overwhelmed Soul) Putting more concentration into the melody can cause people to become overwhelmed with an emotion.

  Level 3 - (Craving) Causes the listener to not only feel an emotion but desire it as well. This spell is more likely to have people acting on the emotion or desire. Whether its playfulness (which might make them want to start dancing and goofing off) or lust (which might make them want to find their lovers right away). It is only an indirect push, it is not guaranteed someone will do something and it is not controlling.

  ~~~Lullaby: Only works with soft and light melodies in a comfortable atmosphere.

  Level 1 - (Hush) - Has the ability to relax its listeners, and take away their worries. They will continue to be relaxed after the song, but their worries and concerns will return, maximum one hour, after the playing stops.

  Level 2 - (Sleeping Lullaby) - The ability to put someone to sleep. The person must initially be relaxed to work, so it usually follows Level 1 but does not have too.

  Level 3 - (Sweet Dreams) - The ability to make someone’s dreams light and happy… chasing away nightmares, and giving them a peaceful sleep. Only works when the person is initially asleep (so she has to play it to them when they are already dreaming) and wears off when the person wakes up. Does not directly control dreams or sleep.  

              Level 4 - (Darkened Dream) - The same as Level 3 but with the opposite affect… making dreams into nightmares and causing a restless night sleep. Only works when person is initially sleeping, wears off when the person wakes up, and the nightmares are forgotten soon afterwards

  Forms:

1. Crow (her favorite and most used), 2. Wolf, 3. Light Mist, 4. She also has the ability to extend her nails and let them turn into talon-like claws.
