Sing as their bones go marching in... again
The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are at the ready
Are you ready?
Hold the press!!
Don't go wasting all your applause just yet, save some for Hannah. They have been treading the floorboards for exactly 18 years and they have been totally female!! She has been in the spotlight roughly 7 months, and they're loving it!!
And now for the good stuff!!
We have a new kid on the block, going by the name of Sophia Kendra Louve, but only their mother calls them that; you can call them Kendra! Rumour has it this dudette is a totally hoopy frood; so Mum's, lock up your sons!! They've been cruising the streets of Brighton for 44 years now, after coming into this god forsaken world on July 28th 1965.
Here's the vitals!!
Race:: Werewolf
Special Abilities:: Age transferral - The ability to transfer the aging and life force to and from an object and make the user younger or older. Those that she has aged generally do her biding in the vain hope that she will reverse it.
Seismic burst - The ability to repel objects away from one's self. This uses a fair amount of energy and she can’t do it that repeatedly without exhausting herself.
Family:: Family of the Moon
Position in the Family:: Security to the Royal House, not part of any House
The physical!!
The hair:: Kendra’s hair is jet black and slightly wavy. She tends to leave it to do what it wants, only ever running a brush through it and washing it.
The eyes::She has grey eyes, the colour of rain clouds. In some lights, they look silver and in others they look white.
The body:: Kendra is fairly slim, but not to the point of looking anorexic. She is very muscled after having to bulk up to get so far in her job so quickly.
The style:: She tends to wear jeans and a tight fitting tee when she’s at work, finding that she can fight better in them. When not at work, she’ll wear anything and look good in it.
The looks::
Kendra has often been called her mother’s negative as she is identical in nearly every way, except that, whilst her mother has a permanent tan and blond hair, Kendra looks somewhat akin to Snow White, only hotter. Her skin is so pale it’s practically white and she always wears red lipstick to cement this image. She reaches just under six feet (average for a female were), though still wears high heels when she’s out on the town. She gets her hair, pallor, eyes and height from her Father.
When she is Changed, she is a get black wolf with white-grey eyes.
The mental!!
The likes:: Her powers; she’s now got to the point that she enjoys using her powers, mainly due to the positive reinforcement she’s received in the past. Her job in the Family. Men in uniform.
The dislikes:: People who take what they have for granted. People that are scared of her before they get to know her. That people tend to ignore her because she has no real connections in the court.
The hopes:: To find her father; ever since she has been told about what she is, she’s longed to find her father. To be noticed by Lachlain; she sees him as the ultimate father figure and craves to be noticed by him. To find somewhere that she actually belongs; she wants a life, not just a career.
The fears:: To be transferred to another House or member of the Lachlain House. That somehow her powers will leave her. That she’ll end up like the creatures she controls; locked up in a dungeon and only ever seeing the light when they are about to be sent to death.
The talents:: She is a fairly good fighter, but she doesn’t really ever need to show this now, due to her abilities. She can wrap men around her little finger most of the time. She kicks ass on Guitar Hero too, but that’s only really something she shares with the younger wolves.
The bad habits:: She plays with her hair all the time, she smokes and she will use her powers when she’s bored.
The attitude::
As Kendra is yet to find her father, she tends to adopt father figures into her life. She constantly seeks their approval and will do anything to make them happy. Due to her human upbringing, she’s not all that clued in on some of the customs of her people and will occasionally get things wrong, but when she does, she tends to make a joke of it instead of mulling over it. She can have a dark side sometimes, especially when she’s working, but she’s generally a likeable person, even if she can be quite scary.
The rest!!
The parents:: Sophia Louve (human) and an unknown Werewolf
The siblings:: None
The others:: None
The social class:: Middle
The history::
Sophia Louve was a human nurse who worked in a small Doctors surgery in the city. She lived a pretty normal life; she woke up, went to work, went home and went to bed, making sure she was rested enough for the next day’s work. She didn’t socialise an awful lot and, as such, was always without a boyfriend. Her colleagues were always trying to drag her out on the town and set her up with someone, but Sophia always blew them off.
Eventually, they wore her down and she agreed to go out. She actually surprised herself by having a good time and agreed to go out with them again. A few months later, her confidence had grown and she was hitting on the guys like she was born to do it. One night, she met one guy who she fell totally head over heels for. Tall, dark and handsome, he was the guy of her dreams.
They took it back to her house and, in the morning, he was gone. Nine months later, Kendra arrived. Having no way to contact her father, and what she now expected to be a false name, Sophia never told him.
Kendra’s life was as normal as it could be. She went to school, but found it hard to make friends; people seemed to be afraid of her and she didn’t know why. By the time she was 13, she was well used to this and did nothing to stop people fearing her, though she still wished that they wouldn’t.
It was about this time that she found her first power. She was sat in her bedroom, trying to get her pet rat out of its cage. It kept cowering away from her hand and, not understanding why, she got angry and started shouting at it. When she eventually managed to catch it, she sat on her bed and stroked it, trying to show that there was no reason to be afraid. When it kept cowering and flinching away, she got angry and unlocked her power. Her pet rat aged and decayed in her hands, but didn’t die. Kendra screamed, not knowing what she’d done, and ran to get rid of it. She never told her Mum about this, she thought that Kendra had left the cage door open.
After this, Kendra totally withdrew from everyone. She thought she was a freak and didn’t dare let people near her in case she did the same to them. Deep down, she thought that the power was cool and kept using it on plants and spiders and such, but felt disgusted with herself afterwards.
She eventually fell into the wrong crowd, and, by the time she was 16 her Mum had kicked her out. She made her money anyway she could, which usually meant selling herself. She never really felt comfortable doing so, even more so than the other girls that she knew in the trade, but she eventually smothered that feeling in her and was able to do it relatively guilt free.
When she was 20, she changed for the first time. She was with a mark when he started to get nasty, demanding things that she wasn’t willing to do. When she continually refused, he turned violent against her. The panic and fear she felt during the ensuing struggle caused her to change. She can’t remember anything about what happened whilst she was in animal form, she just remembers waking up covered in blood on the floor, surrounded by hunks of meat.
As soon as the heaving had stopped, she ran, using all the money she had earned and stolen to get her to London. She hoped that there she’d be able to disappear and she did. She spent the next few years alternating between selling her body and stealing in order to eat. She kept changing, but she was soon able to control it and then started hunting for rats and stray cats when she wasn’t able to get any other form of food. When she was in wolf form, she always kept to the shadows, knowing that if she were seen she’d be in trouble.
One night, however, she was spotted. A member of the Moonlit Court was relaxing in one of the parks Kendra regularly hunted in and smelt a wolf. Curious, he shifted to find her, not recognising the scent. Due to Kendra’s inexperience, he was able to sneak up on her as she was finishing her hunt. Unable to recognise her, he followed her to see what House she was part of and was shocked to find her creeping into an alley way and changing back into a girl who was obviously homeless.
He went to court immediately and explained what he had seen to one of the law enforcers. They both agreed that she could not be allowed to carry on existing in such a fashion as she was at risk of exposing their existence. The next night, the two of them went to capture her, along with 3 more as back up, with the view to kill her. They waited until Kendra had finished her hunt and had turned back to human form, knowing that she’d be weaker in that form, and attacked.
Kendra fought them well, after so long on the streets, she’d learnt to fight for herself. She eventually realised that she was not going to win against these men, however, as they appeared to be trained in fighting. So she used her power.
Over the years, she had managed to perfect it and had all but wiped out the exhaustion it caused. She quickly aged the strongest two of the group and turned to the other three, telling them she’d do the same to them if they didn’t get lost.
The law enforcer was shocked and realised that she could be a valuable member of his court. He explained who he was and what he was. Kendra stood and listened, never stepping out of her defensive position. She knew that she should be shocked at what he was saying, but after 4 years of turning into a wolf, she wasn’t. She agreed to go with him and to be trained.
During the training, she unlocked her second power, Seismic burst. With both that and her Age Transferral, she was one of the most powerful of the trainees. She strived to be the best and trained every hour of every day, quickly being able to control both her powers as much as was possible. After only 4 years of training, she was given a position in the Royal Guards.
One night when she was on duty, the Dark Court decided to attack. This was her first real fight since gaining her powers and as the newest recruit she was expected to stay in the background which she was happy to do. That was, until she saw a vampire using the distraction of the fight to go to where the King had been ushered.
She quickly followed and put herself between him and the door. She used her blast to push him back, but he kept coming forward, determined that he could outsmart a young, female wolf. Kendra quickly realised that she would not be able to hold him off until someone more experienced arrived to handle it, so instead, she aged him. It took a few seconds, but eventually he was beyond recognisable and unable to attack. It was at this point that her Senior Officer ran in. Seeing what she had done, he was both horrified and amazed; he’d never seen anyone with such an ability before as, during her training, she had refused to use it to its full potential.
After reassuring himself that the King was safe, he brought her back out and used her ability to destroy the will of the remaining vampyres. After the fight, she was shocked to find out that those she had aged were now under her power. Not physically, but they would do anything she wished of them just to be put back to how they were. Her Senior Officer was once again amazed, and ordered her not to return them as they may be useful to them at a later date.
In return for this, he gave her the position of one of the personal guards to the King, making her the youngest wolf and only female to be granted such an honour. She is occasionally called forward to torture those unwilling to pass on information.
She occasionally misses her old human life and will go missing for days on end. She’ll go back to Brighton and look up her mother to make sure she is okay. She knows that she hurt her by disappearing and is racked with guilt for doing so. When she first started going back, she’d hoped that her mother had found someone and had a family, but she never saw that. Now, she just hopes that she’s happy and not still wondering what happened to her daughter.
She tends to get away with leaving because when she returns she throws herself back into her job. Her Senior Officer understands that she has been through a fair amount and will give her some leeway, even if he doesn’t like what she gets up to when she’s not at work.
The rest!!
