Name: Blair LaFontaine Age: 19 Physical Description: Has a thin yet wiry build from years of work when she was a gypsy . Typically found wearing green clothes, for no other reason than she never used to. She's about 5'6, and mostly looks like this: ![]() (ignore how huge the pic is, I drew it and I can't figure out how to make my photoshop files smaller )Background: Blair was born into a family of nomadic gypsies, a group of family and close friends who’d been forced from their houses for one reason or another, usually because the local villagers had suspected them of witchcraft. Some of the group had possessed mild psychic powers, but nothing more potent than simple fortune telling. As a young girl she enjoyed the travelling lifestyle, unaware of the prejudices that often came from the most superstitious citizens of the many villages they visited throughout the duration of their travels. Though as she grew up she became increasingly uncomfortable during their brief stopovers in towns to sell and restock goods, and preferred the peace of travelling, a welcome respite from the bustle of village life which she rarely experienced and even more rarely enjoyed. Shortly after her 13th birthday, the British Empire was thrown into turmoil after Dracula’s attempt to rise to power, and the Catholic Church’s response. Their stopovers at villages became even more irregular, and they rarely stayed the night. The horror stories of the church’s inquisitions, and innocent people being condemned due to misinformed inquisitors became regular amongst town gossip. It was only a matter of time before the Inquisition had ordered information of gypsies to be reported. At first they could still stop for supplies, but soon even that became a rare luxury and the group rarely even set sights on a town. It shouldn’t have come as a surprise when one night the inquisition caught up to them, although to most extent the gypsies were guilty of nothing more than petty thievery when the going got tough, they were condemned. Whether she was simply overlooked or by some cruel mercy, now 18 year old Blair was overlooked during the massacre. It didn’t take long for her to discover she wasn’t the only spared, a couple of others had survived, either hidden themselves or injured beyond recognition. Blair found herself unable to stay with them, traumatized and scared for her life, she fled to the nearest village and settled there for the time being. Though rumours spread through the small village like wildfire, and her standoffish personality and habit of locking herself away for weeks on end didn’t discourage the wild accusations of witchcraft. Once again, fearing the Inquisition would pick up on the gossip she left the village and headed for the largest city she knew of – London. She hoped that in a city so full of the abnormal, one girl would go unnoticed at least for the time being. Personality: As a younger girl she’d had a wilful and open personality, although she didn’t enjoy large quantities of people, she had never disliked any individually. Though after her parents’ death her whole perspective had changed, now shut off and tormented, she hates confrontation and any reminder of her previous life. Blair half wants revenge on the inquisition, but has never been able to actively seek it. Wanted: £10 Edited by Blair, Mar 14 2011, 08:34 PM.
