Hold the press!!
Don't go wasting all your applause just yet, save some for Violet/Telly. They have been treading the floorboards for exactly 17 years and they have been totally female!! S/he has been in the spotlight roughly 5-ish years, and they're loving it!!

And now for the good stuff!!
We have a new kid on the block, going by the name of Anouk Woods, but only their mother calls them that; you can call them Anouk, Nookie! Rumour has it this dudette is a totally hoopy frood; so Mum's, lock up your sons!! They've been cruising the streets of Newark, New Jersey for 28 years now, after coming into this god forsaken world on January 15th, 1981.

Here's the vitals!!
Race::Vampyre
Special Abilities::Healing Touch- Very strong, Anouk's healing ability has been honed to near perfection.
Ability Replication- Iffy, it sometimes takes coming in contact two or three times to be able to take on an ability, and often she must remain in contact for an extended period of time.
Family:: The Family of Blood
Position in the Family:: Outcast-ish [See history]. Not well liked by most vampyres.


The physical!!
The hair:: Mussed, white, chin length
The eyes:: Vibrant green
The body:: Not very curvy pearfigure
The style:: Plain. Anouk wears grey or muted sweaters and jeans.
The looks::

Anouk has a smoth, elf-like facial appearnce. Her skin and hair being very pale make her dark lashes and vibrant green eyes stand out, which draws a lot of attention to her eyes. Anouk is very short, standing at about five feet even. She has a relatively small bust and waist, with wider hips giving her a "pear" figure. Her clothing is generally unremarkable, consisting of mostly grey sweaters and simple jeans with a pair of black boots.

The mental!!
The likes:: Sex, cats, perfume, candy, parties, France
The dislikes:: Uptight-ness, bitter tastes, being cold, not getting what she wants
The hopes:: To get whatever she feels she needs at the moment she needs it -Has no foresight-
The fears:: Death, being totally turned on by the vampyre court, going without a lover/significant other for the rest of her life
The talents:: Gifted healer, good at making amateur explosives (is not a terrorist, just likes blowing stuff up), seducing naive young men, fairly adept at fighting
The bad habits:: Being a slut, not thinking things through, acting on impulse
The attitude::

Anouk holds no real loyalty to anyone or anything in the world. She does as she pleases when and how she pleases. She is also a very sexual creature, and spends much of her free time searching out young men at bars to bring home for the night. She also has the tendency to get ridiculously wasted and pass out in the bars before completing her missions. Put shortly, her morals are iffy at best.
To those she's not interesting in screwing she tends to be energetic and personable, though her vocabulary is colorful and crass. In all likelihood she is the least sophisticated vampyre (perhaps humanoid) in the country (world).

The rest!!
The parents:: Johnathan and Marian Woods
The siblings:: Scarlet Woods [25]
The others:: Jacques Woods [uncle], Phoebe [cat]
The social class:: Upper
The history::

Anouk was born in a suburb of Newark, New Jersey to a Johnathan and Marian woods in 1981. The family was fairly wealthy, as Anouk's father owned a popular hair care company.

Anouk also had a sister, Scarlet, who was three years younger than her. The girls were never close. In fact, Anouk had a fairly deep resentment of Scarlet for being the favorite child. Where Anouk failed Scarlet excelled, which was at everything. Scarlet even developed a prodigal talent for tennis, and later went on to win a scholarship to college with her skills. The girl's parents made it no secret that they preferred Scarlet, and eventually sent Anouk to live with her uncle Jacques in Paris, France. "It will give her a chance to foster growth in her education and personality and such," they said. What they meant was "We're tired of paying attention to her."

Anouk was not disappointed to be sent away. It was an exciting new twist in her life, which had so far been highlighted only by the dramas of friends she didn't really care for and boys she didn't really love.

Jacques Woods turned out to be a pretty cool guy. Anouk met him when she was twelve years old, and lived with him until she was eighteen. During those six years he taught her how to speak French and how to live, and never asked much of her in return. He let her party all night if she wanted, and come back reeking of cologne alcohol if so she desired. Which she did. Often.

After Anouk turned 18 she decided not to pursue a higher level of education. She had already learned everything she needed to know about being happy from Jacques and her friends. She did, however, choose to move out of Jacques house and start a life for herself elsewhere in the city. Still she visited her uncle often. On one occasion, four years after she had moved out, she commented on how he had not changed at all in appearance in the ten years she had known him. "I'm a vampyre," he said seriously. She laughed.
"Sure you are."

Another three years passed, during which Anouk traveled around the country and a bit through nearby countries as well. It was nearing Christmas and she decided to pay her uncle a short visit in the spirit of the Holiday season. Again she idly commented on how he hadn't changed in the now 13 years she'd known him. Again he replied "I'm a vampyre."
"Really, Jacques? A vampyre? Show me your powers then."
"Do you really want me to?"
"Well, yeah. Sure," Anouk laughed at the ridiculousness. He was being so serious, there was not hint of humor in his voice or in his features.
"Alright..." He picked up the serrated knife he had been using to slice bread, bring it up to his face to examine it. He motioned for her to come closer. Anouk stepped forward, and as she did so he drew back the knife and brought it down squarely between her collar and shoulder bones. She parted her lips and made to scream as the pain coursed through her body, but before she could let loose a blood curdling cry Jacques was at her side covering her mouth. She struggled under his grasp for a moment before she caught his eye. There was no malice there.
"Anouk, calm down. If you want me to prove my powers you need to sit still. Will you?" She nodded violently, tears running down her cheeks. Somehow, despite him stabbing her, she trusted Jacques.

He released his grip on her jaw, and Anouk stumbled backwards into the wall until that was all that kept her from toppling over. Blood was running all down her chest and staining her clothes red. She looked up at her uncle "Ha-- Ah, ah. Why, Jacques? Why? Ah.."Her breathing was coming in pants now "I'm going into shock! Do, agh, do something!"
Jacques calmly stepped forward and placed a hand over her wound. She winced at the pressure, but held perfectly still. After five or six or her panicked breaths he removed his hand, revealing perfectly unblemished skin.

After Jacques amazing spectacle Anouk wordlessly went into his room and changed into a clean shirt. She left his house and did not speak with him for an entire month. At the end of that month she called him."Make me like you."
"I thought you'd never ask."

Jacques obliged, fulfilling his niece's wishes to become like him. He warned her that she would have to remain under his care for at least twelve to twenty four months before he could trust that she would not go on a killing rampage. She spent nineteen months with him, learning how to control herself and her inherited ability to heal. They practiced mostly on wounded animals, which they later ate and disposed of. After she felt that she was able to keep her blood lust in check she bid her uncle adieu and moved to London.

Initially it had been Anouk's intention to acquaint herself with the vampire court and royals. Unfortunately, before she was able to find them she found a shady nightclub and a charming young werewolf. One thing led to another and she found herself lying breathless in the backseat of the werewolf's car. A few nights later she found herself in a similar situation with the same young man. A few nights after that she realized that her simple lust had turned to something deeper, and she had fallen in love with the moon child, who's name was Toby.

Toby, though sweet, was not the smartest of boys. He told his buddies about his pretty vampyre girlfriend. Who told their buddies. Who told the higher-ups among the were family. Who found Toby and did away with him.

Now it was true, though clever and manipulative, that Anouk did not have a good sense of foresight. In a fit of rage she found the Vampyre Court, and she told them of the demise of her werewolf sweetheart. At first the court said that they should simply execute Ms. Woods for her act of fraternization. After some discussion, however, it was decided that her talents (she made sure to inform them of her healing capabilities and explosives expertise) were just valuable enough not to waste. As punishment is was made very widely known that Anouk was a werewolf-doer and she was not to be trusted lightly. And also she had fleas and carried rabies (which was probably partially true).
