Valentine, Mykalena Astara
(origin unknown; family well known for odd names such as this)
[/center]nicknames: Myka
age: 24
gender: female
sexuality: Unsure
occupation: n/a
Species: Vampire
Group: Rogue
Residence: The City
played by: Kate Veogele
appearance: Mykah is a dainty girl with long dark brown hair that falls to the base of her back, and dark brown, alluring, almond-shaped eyes. She has very faint freckling on her shoulders and chest. She's about 5'6" with a light frame of about 130 lbs. She prefers to wear dresses varying in style from tight-fit club styles to victorian to even sun dresses. She doesn'y like to wear hats, but sometimes she will put on a pair of shades when she's "going to town." On occasions where she doesn't wear a dress, she can be seen wearing blue jeans and a t-shirt. Yet no matter what she wears she always carries her leather violin case with her; strapped across her back.
She also has a small butterfly tattoo on her waist. It's black with elaborate shading, but no real coloring to it. Both her ears are pierced, and alot of times she wears large hoop earings, or even from time to time she can be seen wearing gaiges. Her belly button is also pierced, and usually she wears a gaige in it with an elaborate dragon with light chains.
On her side, towards the back and on the left side, she has a birth mark that she shared with her uncle before he died. That saying their birth marks were identicle even in location. She also has a beauty mark located in between the dip of her neck and shoulder.
likes: walking:nature:the sound of running water:blood:respect:peace:playing the violin
dislikes: Chaos:fire:disrespect:sitting around:mutiny
goals: Not really one for goals except getting along with those she meets while not being over powered by them, and living up to what her uncle would have expected of her.
fears:Being totally alone; rejection in her uncles eyes, even though he is dead and gone.
personality: Myka is really a rather peaceful vampire. She has care in her heart but you first have to pick over the icey covering. It's not that she is cruel, or rude; she is just very careful as to how she does things, and isn't one to normally open up to someone right away. She hates thieves, back-stabbers, and anything chaotic, really, including fire. She also doesn't like sitting around. This isn't just because she likes to move around, though. It's because she can't stand the thought of being lazy and getting bored. Her mind is always racing ninety-to-nothing, but she contains and conceals this very well.
On the other hand, however, Myka likes to play her violin; producing soft, almost lunar, tunes. The music she plays will usualy put off a very peaceful tune that she uses to "charm" animals, since animals are attracted to certain music, and she uses this to gain company to push away and ignore her fear of being alone. Yet the notes she plays often soothes anger. Contrary to her hate for fire, she loves water. Especially the sound of running water, and you can often find her laying by a stream, and basking in the moon light in a light sleep.
She loves blood. Not because it's the kind of DUH thing for a vampire to like, but because of its deep red color. It attracts her sensually and physically. Her biggest peeve, however, is respect. She won't disrespect you unless you deserve it, and she will dare you to disrespect her. This is about the only thing (next to stupidity and lies) that would anger her to the absolute degree, and I don't recomend her being angered.
relatives: Little sister named Cassie Valentine, and that's all she knows that is living.
history: Mykalenawas born a vampire. She grew up in New York with her brother, sister, uncle, and parents who were also vampires. They lived happily in a cozy penthouse together, and rarely had quarrels; despite their unique differences. Myka looked up to her uncle with a reverence like one she didn't even give her own parents. He was a highly respected individual, with a firm hand, and he gave Myka the world.
Although her parents lacked the respect her uncle got from those around them, when Mykalena was born her uncle moved her family into the penthouse with him, and he supported them until they got well onto their feet. About two years later her little brother, Viktor was born, and then her younger sister Cassie only three years later. Her uncle treated all both his nieces and nephew equal, but was sure to make a point that Mykelena was his favorite for she was his first of them all.
Then one day, when Mykelena was about 14, her uncle went for a walk into the outskirts of town and never returned. Mykelena waited a week, for her uncle was a very busy man, but grew tired of waiting and set out to find him on her own. Cassie, now seven, insisted on tagging along, and Myka obliged because she didn't suspect danger though she should've known better from the start. Yet they set out about midnight when the fog hung over the city rather heavily, and they could hide if they needed to because werewolves were on the rampage this time of the year.
Myka thought nothing of the smoke that began to fill the night sky until a human, a pet of her uncle's to be exact, met up with her in an alley to deliver terrible news. He told her that her uncle had been murdered by a pack of werewolves, and he was on his way to tell the news when he saw smoke forming around a penthouse that was apparently ablaze. All Myka could do was stare in agony as her home burned,, and her family with it. She worried of Cassie, and how they would survive, but with her uncle dead too, she was the inherint of his pet, and all his managings business-wise and all.
Lucky for her, her uncle had three houses she could stay in, and Lucas, her beloved uncle's human, helped her in any and every way he could manage. Cassie, at the age of 19 now, had an impeccible IQ, and was living on the opposite side of the city as Myka in one of their uncle's houses, but never failed to visit her all the time. Myka, on the other hand, now lives in the grandest of the houses of the three her uncle owned, and found the werewolves responsible for the death of her family. She didn't fail at all at her revenge, but having that satisfaction now leaves her empty as to what's next in her life, and she searches constantly for the answers. She plans to become apart of a coven, but after that she is rather clueless...

Example:
Mykalena's eyes popped open to the sound of her alarm on her night stand (or in this case, day stand) buzzing the radio in her ears. She grumbled, and stretched her arm across the bed tot urn it off, suceeding in only knocking it off the table. Groggy, almost black, eyes burned in an annoyance to the direction of the alarm clock as she sat up to pull herself out of bed, and pick it up off the floor where it landed with a loud CLACK.
Suddenly, there was a soft rap at her door, and she heard Lucas, her human pet, call to her from the hall.
"Is everything alright, Myka?"
He was a kind human, and their relationship wasn't like many vampire-human relationships. Although he was a "pet" an errand-man, or servant, whichever you may call it, Lucas was like famiy. And he was the only family she had apart from her sister across town. More importantly, Lucas was all she had left of her uncle.
She blinked in deep thought of her family, and the tradgedy of her past. The memories didn't last long, however, for she pushd them aside; shoving herself out of bed and calling back to Lucas that everything was just fine,a nd to not worry. What a strange human he was..Even if he was old and nearly decrepit.
Myka walked to her window; pushing the dark purple satin curtains aside, and allowing the moonlight to spill into the once pitch black room. She stared distantly, almost longingly, out the window and acrossed the city. Maybe tonight would bring good news.
