face claim: Summer Glau

Raised in a single parent home all of her life Serenity has learned to enjoy the quiet that a normally empty house has to offer. With her mother always at work Serenity from a young age has learned to be independent, by the time she was eleven her mother could leave her alone for a week at a time and come home to a clean and neat house. Along with her mother the only other person who helped to raise Serenity was her grandmother, a woman who's mission it was to be happy up until the very end. Both her mother and her grandmother raised Serenity to have an adventurous spirit and a love for the outdoors, every weekend her grandmother would take her on hikes in a nearby park showing her new paths and places to explore. Of course as Serenity grew so did her grandmother, by the time she was in her first year at Westview Mount her grandmother had become ill, half a year later she passed away leaving a hole in their family. After that Serenity became much quieter in class and almost withdrew all together from her friends leaving her as a shadow at the back of the class.

face claim: oona chaplin

From the time she was a small girl Maria has preferred books and the serenity of the ocean to the noise, back stabbing, and intrigue of the court. Her mother, Quen Isabel Catalina Varela, a beautiful enchanting woman on the other hand loved the intrigue, revealed in the gossip and manipulations that were always circling. Her father as well, King Emilio Javier Arevalo, was always wrapped up in his duties to his country never making enough time to spend with either his son or his daughter. Perpetually ignored by her parents, the person who truly raised Maria was her older brother and best friend Prince Mateo Arevalo of Spain.
Her brother was her only true family and so she spent many days when she was younger following him, curious to know what her brother knew, she would even sit in on her brother's lessons occasionally. It was this insatiable curiosity that led to her love of books and knowledge, while most girls worked on their embroidery she was in the library devouring chapter upon chapter of anything she could get her hands on. Often when her brother was frustrated or upset Maria would read her favourite fairy tales and stories to him trying to share a piece of joy with him.
When she was six her mother took her to visit the royal family of France and while she wasn't sure why the boat from La Coruna to Nantes introduced her to her new love. The sea. It fascinated her that how at one instance it could be beautiful and calm and then the next be transformed into a ferocious demon capable of capsizing any ship. The danger and mystery of the deep blue captivated Maria's curiosity and her adventurous spirit , it was all she could think about during and after her trip. Begging her mother to allow her to learn how to sail was a futile gesture, the only other option was her brother. While at the time he was too young to teach her Mateo promised that as soon as he learned he would teach her, in the mean time along with her etiquette, dance, and language she also studied navigation by the stars and by compass.
At thirteen Maria was finally taught to sail by her brother and in only a few months she was able to sail as competent as any captain in the navy. Things like sailing and learning languages came easy to Maria while learning to deal with the lords and ladies of the court did not, for things of that nature Maria depended on her brothers' aid even if he was as quiet as she was. This of course was a great disappointment to an absentee mother and father who had expected their children to become the perfect prince and princess.

faceclaim: Katie McGrath

Following the Istari to middle earth was another Maia she had no name but she held compassion for the world and also concern for the Free Peoples of Middle-earth who were to face the evil's of Sauron. Taking the form of a mortal woman she was immediately confronted by the five Maiar; Curumo, Alatar, Olórin, Aiwendil, and Pallando who had originally been sent to help unite the peoples of middle earth. Concerned that without guidance the Maia would stray towards Sauron's side she was taken under the Istari's wing, she became something like an apprentice for Curumo (Saruman) and Olórin (Gandalf) studying the magic arts under Saruman's tutelage and accompanying Gandalf on his travels to learn more about the world and it's people. While it did take many years the Maia finally chose a name of her own, Saira a simple name meaning 'traveler' made her feel like she belonged. It wasn't until many years later that both the fellowship and the companionship were formed and with much pushing from one of her mentors Gandalf, Saira joined the companionship. It was there where in such dire conditions Saira made friends she thought would last a lifetime, after all if such comrades could be found and forged in one of the darkest times it would probably outlast everything else.
-Companionship Relations details-
After the companionship disbanded and all of those Saira had gotten so close to go their separate ways, the wizard didn't know what to do, she was lost. For a while she joined Gandalf following him as she had once did as his apprentice however she soon realized that, that wasn't who she was anymore. Still not knowing what to do with her life Saira took a page from her former mentor and began travelling all over middle earth collecting stories and knowledge.

▙▖———------~❦▗▟

Twenty years ago a small girl was born into the Alasia (All-ah-SAY-ah) family. As a child she was beloved by her parents for her sweet innocent nature. She was one of those children that all the teachers (and adults) loved but others around her age seemed to dislike her for being the ‘teachers’ pet; literally. Having already discovered her superhuman senses Ylva (Il-Vah) was a little shocked to discover that she could also shift into any animal possible at the age of ten. Apparently as a baby when she had been angry or upset she had automatically shifted into a small wolf cub (hence her name) but she had stopped shifting soon after. At first it took a very extreme circumstance of anger or sadness to make her shift but now she’s been able to develop her power so that it only takes a thought.
As with every power though there are faults that follow. The superhuman senses that she posses for example cannot be turned on and off at all, she is stuck with an incredibly strong sense of hearing, sight, taste and smell which leaves her with an almost constant headache and an inability to concentrate on the things in front of her. Even in the quietest of rooms Ylva can still hear a buzz of others breathing, the long sweeping beats of the fan, and the man chatting on his phone outside. With her hearing being assaulted like this every second of every day Ylva gets very little sleep, has constant headaches, and ends up spending quite a lot of time alone trying to spare her senses from being assaulted by other people. Ylva even constantly wears headphones to further isolate herself and make sure those around her don’t try and talk to her. This of course means that her relationships with people don’t go beyond that of a friendly ‘hello, how are you?’. Her senses are not her only power though, Ylva also has the power to morph into any and all animals at will, however that power comes with more serious faults. The most serious fault is the risk of permanent transformation, you see the longer that Ylva is in the form of an animal the more her body fuses that way, this fault of course takes a long time to manifest the beginning of the transformation rigidity only begins when she’s morphed for about three hours, the morph becomes permanent at twenty-four hours with no prayer of ever turning back. Another fault is the nausea that comes after a transformation, it’s not that surprising though when you’re shrinking and moving around all of your organs it can make make you feel very queasy. The nausea lasts only a few minutes but it can be very serious.
As Ylva grew up with her normal powers she became more and more closed off as she realized the faults in her powers. Now she’s constantly using her headphones to block out any outside noise and in fact usually tapes her classes so she can take the notes in a more peaceful enviroment. To the world this makes her seem invisible, something that Ylva is only too painfully aware of, but the few that can say they’ve met her would disagree with you. To those few who have managed to earn her trust and respect she can be stubborn and challenging, maybe this comes from her animalistic side but if she gets into an argument you could go blue in the face before you’ve even gotten close to convincing her. When it does happen Ylva will not back down from a fight be it physical or verbal and no matter her chances of winning.
