AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM Name: Terra Bethel Scythe
Nicknames: Gender: female
Age: 15
Faction: Reaper
Race: Grim
Natural Ability: Silent Step: She can move with utter silence and silence everything within a two foot radius for up to three minutes
Wild ChildShe doesn’t know how to deal with school--she's never been. Her mother taught her to read and write, tried to teach her to sew, and managed to teach her to cook - she makes great tortillas and red beans and rice, and has a love for spicy. But all of her lessons were either in her home during the evenings--family bonding, you know? Or on the streets where she learned as she lived. She's great at dancing, a fair hand at singing, and can play her violin to make the fallen angels cry. But never has she sat in a classroom and taken notes.
She isn't quite sure what this new life expects of her. So to compensate for her lack of knowledge she'll start out by pretending to be like her mother -- a very classy lady. Unfortunately, she won't be very good at it, too much of her hoyden nature showing up, especially when she loses her temper.
But Still a ChildShe is, surprisingly, extremely sheltered in her own way. In Los Muertos they believe it takes a village to raise a child, and that's how she's been raised. Everyone knew her, loved her, and kept her out of trouble--but when she gets to school there'll be no one to cover up for her, or rescue her. She's far too curious and hard headed--she's going to get herself into a lot of trouble that way. And she definitely sees herself as the David to everyone else's Goliath-- she's always trying to do the right thing, and those that do right, win!! Right?
Also? No tech skills. She only knows what a computer is because she saw one in the library. Televisions are something that are rare and usually in public places, like restaurants. Phones are ancient things and as rare as the televisions--seeing one carried around will shock her.
Grieving ChildShe acts tough, she'll launch attacks without a thought, she'll get her revenge on the callous idiota that abandoned her and her mother one day, so what if he's huge and sort of scary?? But she’s alone and she’s lonely. When her mother died, she lost her entire world, pretty much. There was a discussion throughout the town about what should be done with her--there were even a few offers to adopt her, but mostly from families that were too large to begin with, and couldn't afford to raise the kids they already had.
A Scythe - Regardless of who knows it.
Terra only recently found out that her father’s name was Las Vegas Nevada Scythe. She was raised by her mother in a small town called Los Muertos, where she lived in a small adobe style house, growing up barefoot and wild. Her mother was a Catrina (A spanish style skeleton), so she’s always wondered why she wound up being a reaper. Unfortunately, her mother recently passed away, leaving her with no family and no ties except the neighbors.
She found out that her father was still alive not more than a few weeks ago--one of the neighbors let it slip, and is coming to Halloween to find him. When she went to "El Padre" (who is more like one of the leaders of the town) he jumped on the idea of sending her to boarding school--and she didn’t stop him--it was the only way she could afford to come here. But she isn’t expecting a happy reunion with Vegas. HE LEFT THEM. He left her mother to die poor and alone, and he abandoned his child. She wants revenge. (Or so she tells herself.)
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? She’s come to find the father she’s never met, and to do that she needs a place to stay--school was the only way that the people of her town would pay for her to come all the way to Halloween Town. She has no plans for the future, never even really thought of it. She’s very much in the now.
FEAR Ability: Lo Siento - The Chill. She plays a simple melody that heals herself or her ally.
Physical Description: Thin, delicate, waif like female with big silvery blue eyes and strange tattoos.
Eye Colour: silver with a hint of blue (Somewhat like Roch's)
Hair Colour/Style: long, blonde, straight, falling over her shoulders - for pictures, though, she puts part of it up with flowers, black roses are good!
Skin Colour: lightly tanned
Clothing Style/Colours: Spanish peasant top, with slits in the arms and large neck, capris or a ruffled peasant skirt, barefoot, colors of black, red - artistic license is love.
Extra: She has
tattoos (and paint) (the flower on the forehead is permanent, not makeup) of flowers/designs around her eyes and mouth, much like the
Catrina skeletons do. Actually, she's working towards the full face. Right now only the forehead is done, she has to paint the white and the rest. She’s also got a musical weapon-- an
electric violin, which she has always wondered WTJ about, but will understand when she meets her “family.” Feel to take artistic license with her tattoos on the face, and even the hands if you want! And the weapon--Bitti and I came up with the double headed ax idea<3
