Unpaired human.

“It’ll be a month this week. Everything moved pretty quickly once I volunteered for the bonding. It still feels surreal to be here.” He paused looking back at the garage that was now his own. “I applied on a whim two months ago, got approved, and bought this place days after. My apartment is just a few minutes from here and I still get lost going home. I can imagine I’ll still be getting lost years from now.” 

“Where’d ya come from?” She wondered aloud, grinning as she realized he was pro-bonding - he couldn’t think the supernatural were all that bad, at least. She approved of that. Or maybe he was a super himself. “Wow - I can see how that’s still a bit out of this world for you. Congratulations. Sounds like you’ll be just like me - forever walking in circles.” She smiled, chuckling, “My name’s Davina, by the way. Welcome to our lovely town.”

Rey had been tapping out a lengthy text message, leaning against a wall lazily as her fingers raced furiously across the on-screen keyboard o form the digital message that was occupying her full range of concentration. Looking up at the sound of a voice, she smiled at the woman next to her “Oh, hon, are you lost?” she recognised her from town, although they had never really had a full conversation before. Hitting send on the message, she locked the phone and slid it into her pocket before eyeing the heavy-looking basket in her arms. “Need a hand? I’ll walk with you if you like it’s not too far away, and I need to head in that direction anyway.”

Davina smirked, half shrugging and nodding simultaneously, “Yeah. Lost in the big ole city.” She joked, her mind briefly recognizing the woman’s face as well. Where had she seen her again? Gods knew, she had no idea. “I’d like that, actually. I can’t even imagine running around this place for much longer by myself. It’s days like today I wish I had my own washer and dryer.” She grinned, following with the obvious, “Where do I know you from?”

Yuri glanced up from painting the new sign for his auto repair shop at the woman holding a large laundry basket. “Yeah, I think so. Give me one second I think I wrote it down.” He stood pulling a small notebook from his back pocket, flipping the pages quickly until finding the one he was looking for. “Found it! Ok, so it looks like you’re going to want to walk another block North and take your first left down…” Yuri blushed realizing he never wrote down any street names. “…some street? It looks like I forgot to take note of the street names.” He let out a small laugh.  “I bet it’s pretty easy to tell I’m still new here huh?” 

Davina waited patiently, before giggling at his own mistakes. “I guess that makes... um... sense.” She set the basket on the floor, stretching her fingers from the weight. She had no sense of direction, but she didn’t sound far at least. “Yeah, no offense, but I can totally tell. How new is new? This town can be a little... hard to navigate. I’ve been here for a few years, and I still have no clue.”

“Excuse me, do you think you could help me find...” Davina paused, glancing down at the map in her hand. How she could live her for two years and still have no idea how to get around was beyond her. “The laundromat? This basket’s getting a little heavy to drag in circles.” She sheepishly lifted her basket of unwashed clothing, shrugging her shoulders as she looked expectantly at the other, awaiting a reply. “I can pay you for your help, if you’d like.”

                                 IMAGINE - JOHN LENNON

Davina has her head in the clouds - she’s a dreamer. And, in her heart of hearts, she wishes others would see others for their heart as opposed to their ‘supernatural status.’ The reason she agreed to be on the list of humans to be paired was because she wanted to help the rest of the human population to see as she did. They were all Earth’s inhabitants, and they all deserve to be treated equally. Her ideals may seem a little too liberal for some, but Davina sees no reason to use any type of label to separate people into groups. She believes in judging people for who they are and not what they are. She also uses her dreamer personality to escape her own demons by imagining a world where people couldn’t be evil enough to wish harm upon anyone else. It, at times, makes her entirely naive, because she forgets that her worlds are not always reality, and it tends to get her into trouble when she runs into the wrong person.

                                     ABOUT DAVINA RIVERS

Davina Rivers is 21 years old, and she’s a normal human being. No special powers or supernatural status. 

On the outside, Davina is charming and artistic, an incredible dreamer who can get lost in the beauty of this world or her own.

However, this is all a defense mechanism. She’s been the victim of horrible assaults, physically, emotionally, and sexually. She disappears into her dreams to keep her feeling positive, to keep the monsters within her from taking over.

She’s quite capable of holding herself together, as she’s been doing this for many years. However, she may seem a bit spacey when she’s lost in her mind, and it may take a bit of persistence to pull her back to reality. 

She has never told anyone what’s happened to her. She hates to feel like a burden.

She does not know what has happened to her family - after Davina disappeared, so did they. 

Davina enjoys making people happy, but she is not accustomed to people trying to help her. She is a giver, not a receiver.

She doesn’t understand why people would turn their backs against the supernatural - they’re still the same people they were before.

Davina has a vocal talent as well as she is an excellent painter.

She refuses to drive, and she uses a bicycle or her own two feet to get around. Being in a car makes her very anxious, though she will excuse it as she prefers to be a part of nature.
