About Your Character

Playby:[/center]
The Basics
Full Name: Venice Maria Blair
Nicknames: Sometimes her close friends call her "V" for short, but she's mainly called Venice.
Age: Fifteen.
Gender: Female.
Race: Human..for now.
Birthday: October 17.
Nationality: Italian
Appearance
Eye Colour: Venice has dark brown eyes that sometimes have a trace of red in them, looking closely.
Hair Colour: Her hair is even darker than her eyes- a deep dark brown.
Hair Style/Length: About twenty-four inches long, Venice's hair falls to a spot a little higher than the middle of her back. When she doesn't feel the need to straighten it, her hair dries in beautiful curls, which she wears often.
Height: 5'4"
Weight: around 112.
Complexion/Skin: Venice has pale skin compared to many of her friends, but she likes the paleness. Sometimes, even, her skin appears to be glowing and sparkly in the sun, but only vaguely. (I'm not taking this from the vampire description, because my skin is kind of like this. It's hard to describe though. =P)
General Appearance::
Venice doesn't find herself the typical idea of beautiful. Sure, she was somewhat pretty, but compared to some of the other girls out there, she felt she was nothing more than ordinary. But in truth, Venice is gorgeous. It may not be the more common type of beauty she is used to, but a more subtle unique beauty. Many can see that she is pretty, but only a few can uncover this uniqueness.
Her dark hair and light skin together contrast brilliantly. This contrast better accentuates her deep brown-red eyes. Her eyes are always filled with some kind of emotion, whether it be confusion or absolute madness. She has a rounded face shape and a small nose that turns upward a little at the tip. Whenever a smile may cross her face, small but adorable dimples indent on her cheeks. Her small, slim body can be described by one word: cute. Venice is a cute person, no doubt.
A love for changing up her appearance every now and then, Venice expresses herself through hairstyles, nail polish, and clothing. She wouldn’t dare to cut her hair, Venice loves it too much, but she does experiment with different styles with the long brown locks. Her finger nails and toe nails are always dazzling with a new color of nail polish. Some days she wears very exotic, fluorescent colors, and other days she tones it down to dark red, silver, black, or other colors that bring less attention to her nails. She normally is found in jeans and a cute tee shirt or hoodie, but Venice can’t deny that she loves to dress up. Dresses are her favorite. She jumps on whatever chance she gets to wear a dress. Whatever she’s wearing, as long as she’s satisfied with how she looks, she doesn’t care much about other people’s opinions.

General Personality::
Venice is a very kind, compassionate person. Which probably explains the many friends she has. She is rarely mean, only displaying this at close friends she gets in fights with, her people teasing her or anyone else. With her kindness comes sarcasticness. She doesn’t use it often, but whenever she slips some of her sarcastic comments in, she uses them well. Loving to have fun and be adventurous, Venice is a rather bubbly person. This bubbly attitude attracts many people to her, which is fine. Friends are fine with her. But she doesn’t have many close friends, for it’s harder for her to open up to people. She trusts too easily, and sometimes she regrets what she tells people. The few she does trust are definitely very close to her and she shares nearly everything with them.
Drama is something Venice tries to steer away from. She hates it. A lot. But being a teenager AND a girl, drama is kind of something you can’t avoid. Because of this, Venice tends to have more guy friends than girl friends. She also likes her alone time, and spends much time in the forest near her house, alone, or near the beach. Though Venice is somewhat afraid of the dark, she isn’t afraid to sit on her roof and stare up at the most astonishing scenery ever- the stars. Venice is hardly afraid of anything, she hates the idea of ‘fear.’ Therefore, she loves to be adventurous and take many risks.
She isn’t lazy, most of the time. The only time Venice is lazy is when it comes to cleaning her room. It’s her room, so she figures that she can leave it how she wants. It’s much easier to find things that way. Her father doesn’t mind this at all. Other than that, Venice is rather organized. She likes to keep track of things and have things in the right place. Knowing Venice, you might say she has a little OCD from time to time. If something doesn’t look right, or is tilted the wrong way, at rare times, Venice feels the sensation to fix it. It’s not weird or anything (okay maybe a tad), but most of her friends find it strangely funny.
Family
Father::
~ Name: Victor Blair
~ Age: Thirty-seven.
~ Race: Human
~ Occupation: He's a wealthy business man, but Venice isn't exactly sure of the specifics. Because of his job, Victor is away from home a lot.
~ Relationship With Character: Venice lives with her father, Victor, since she was born. They have a close father-daughter bond going on, but Victor is away a lot, which takes away from their close relationship.
Mother::
~ Name: Maria Blair
~ Age: Twenty (Thirty-five)
~ Race: Vampire
~ Occupation: She has no occupation, since being around humans is rather difficult for her. Maria belongs to a small coven.
~ Relationship With Character: As far as Venice is aware, her mother Maria died giving birth to her. Technically, this is true. (More information in the general history section). Maria knows that her daughter is living with her husband that she can no longer communicate with, but she has yet to visit them- which is probably for the best. One day Maria hopes to have a part in Venice's life, though, as soon as she can figure out how to be around humans without attacking them.
Pets:: Venice has a very young, small kitten. This all-black furball was named after the stars in the dark night sky, but an Italian version of this name: Stella.
Siblings:: none.
Family History::
Sixteen years ago, before Venice was born, things for Maria and Victor were perfect. They were young- Victor was twenty-one and Maria was nineteen- and they were in love. They were newlyweds, and each loved the other more than the world. This young couple lived together in Italy, where they had grown up. Things changed a few months later, when Maria found out she was expecting a baby. Victor was by her side through it all, like a good husband would be, and Maria gave birth to a beautiful girl on October 17. Things had gone terribly wrong, though, and minutes after Maria declared the child be named Venice, she passed.
Neither Victor or Venice know this, but Maria’s heart continued to beat unsteadily, though through a human eye it definitely appeared that she had no chance at life. It was the truth in a way- Maria had no chance at continuing to life her life, but she did have a great possibility of living a new life. A life with more strength, more speed, more power, more everything. A vampire in the area at the time had witnessed Venice’s birth and Maria’s slow death. He had a soft spot for humans- he truly did not enjoy their blood, he actually preferred the blood of animals. With little time to help Maria, he injected her with poison. Poison that would make her a vampire, like him. Ever since Maria’s change, she’s belonged to a small coven in Italy.
After the death of Maria, Victor only stayed in Italy for a two years with little baby Venice. After that, he decided to make a new life for them both in Washington, where he had many opportunities to be wealthy. Venice doesn’t remember much about Italy, but she someday hopes to visit it again. As for now, she enjoys the little town in Washington in which she and her father live.
Random::
Favourites::
~ Place: In the forest or on a beach.
~ Colour: Though it changes, at the moment she is rather fond of yellow and blue-green.
~ Word: Venice goes through many favorite words. Her current one: stellar.
~ Book: Venice loves to read all types of books, there's no way she could pick just one favorite. (Plus I don't have any ideas for her favorite book since I think Twilight is ruled out. x] )
Role-Play Sample::
-uhm, I'll either add one after I role-play a little in the threads here and come up with one, or I'll make one up. Either way. I'll add it soon. =p -[/size]
