Age (both real age & appearance): 18 (532)
Species: Faerie
Faceclaim: Elle Fanning
Gender: female
Sexuality: pansexual
Biography:
The Gentry, One of the Fair Folk, Fae, faerie, fairy. Lilliana’s species could be called many things, but it was irrelevant to her. Lilliana herself could be called many things over the years too. Fleur, Ella, Feathers, Blondie, whatever she so pleased. But only her name once. She was young and foolish, only 50 years of age. She’d fallen in love. Lilliana met a human boy and was so captivated, so enthralled with his very being that she believed them to be destined. He looked the part of an Irish boy, flaming red hair and freckles with strong cheekbones and gentle eyes that seemed to call out to her. She told the boy her True Name, and she payed for it. He kept her in servitude of his family for almost two hundred years, long after he’d passed. She watched the kind boy she had met turn into a monster, and she was forced to do whatever him and later, his descendants wished, bound by her name. In 1743 she was set free, told to run by one of the members of the very family that enslaved her.
Lilliana was most nomadic up until the creation of Celtius, and she took refuge there from the 1880s up until the present day. In the past few decades Lilliana has adopted the name Blue, and she’s quite fond of it. A once trusting and innocent individual, Lilliana has put up every wall she has. She engages in games and tricks, finding a specialty in avoidance. She has a deep distrust of humans, but she’s found herself to be quite fond of witches and werewolves, finding them to be generally trustworthy, though not too much so. After flitting about different parts of Celtius, she has found herself in Midnight Falls, specifically residing in Midnight Hollow.

CHARACTER INFO
Name: Emeline Hollis
Age (both real age & appearance): 20
Species: Human
Faceclaim: Adelaide Kane
Gender: female
Sexuality: bisexual with a preference for men
Biography:
- Emeline has always been fascinated with the supernatural. She just has a connection that she can’t ignore. Her many times great grandmother Leanne Hollis was turned into a vampire during the events of the civil war, and she hasn’t been seen since. The story has been passed down though, originally to her children, and then eventually down the line. Emeline’s connection to the supernatural and her heritage was so strong that she left North Carolina and moved to Mystic falls when she was 18. She hopes to find Leanne here, but isn’t very hopeful. The majority of Emeline’s family are Hunters.
- Emeline is a sunny individual, but she tends to be on the reckless side. She makes choices without thinking about them more often than not, and she’s more than willing to leave her entire life behind (again) on a whim. She has very little concern for we safety or her life, and she will endanger them quite frequently. She’s passionate about almost everything, and she’s accepting of all. She’s madly curious about everything, and this gets her in trouble a lot as well.
Tyson was born to a hunter family in Australia. In Australia there was no truce with the supernaturals and everyone was fair game. He and his little brother Tony brought fame to the Mitchell clan due to their bloodthirstiness with killing creatures. When more and more of them ran away to Celtius for sanctuary, the brothers traveled the world, hunting and killing everwhere they went.
Tony and Tyson decided to spice things up with a little contest. They would split up and keep a tally of all creatures killed. Tony decided to go to Celtius, where he knew where many creatures were, to try to rack up his headcount. Tyson headed toward the Carpathian mountains of Romania where he knew bands of creatures were holed up. But surprisingly, once the brothers were separated, he found that his desire to kill wasn’t as strong, and he even started to feel bad about all of the killing. When he saw another hunter take down a werewolf pup that was just a child, he really started doubting whether he was on the right side of things. Confused, he set off for Celtius to find his brother.
The youngest of six, Ana spent her mortal life at the beck and call of her sisters. Five daughters might’ve been a blessing in a different time, but one son was not nearly enough to tend the land, or so her father professed in the darkest hours of the night when none were awake but she and the mice. As the youngest, however, Ana was spared some of the more gruesome chores, and spent many of her days attempting to sneak a peak at the books her brother coveted, and the strange, curling letters he trapped within. Though not high of stature, her family scraped by a meager living, enough to sustain them in their quiet corner of the world, at least, for a time.
Then came the storyteller. A raggedy man, with wild eyes and a fierce sort of face wreathed in flame. He came from the north, or so he swore, on the back of a winter’s breeze with nothing to give for his presence but the gift of song, and though she was well-grown at the time, nearly eighteen years of age, Ana took every chance she could to hear his tales. She reveled in the softness of them, the rise and fall of his chest when he spoke, that golden gleam in his eye when he spoke of battle, but longed for that quiet hum somewhere deep within his throat when he lamented for days long past. Erik filled her head with tall tales of impossible things, great empires in the east, forgotten libraries buried in the sands, warrior queens whose rules encompassed the world. Yet, when she asked him how he knew so much, how his mind could encapsulate so many mighty things, Erik would do little more than smile, and such a toothy thing it was.
He came and went as he pleased, bringing with him books and scrolls from worlds long passed. Much of what she knows now, Ana learned from Erik, crouched by fireside, mouthing out sounds on a foreign tongue, in words she could barely understand. Yet he never stayed, coming and going in as reliable a fashion as the rise and fall of the tides. He always returned, but in his absences, Ana grew, as did the quiet chattering in the back of her mind, those wishful little wantings she spoke to no one but the stars. Unmarried as she was, Ana felt a growing burden to her parents, and when the storyteller next returned, she begged him to take her with him. Denial was not what she had anticipated. How could a man that she had loved so deeply reject her so coolly? Undeterred, Ana dogged him for what must’ve been months, to the point where conversation between them was so strained that even she could not stand the sound of her own voice. His resistance, he professed, was not to her but to himself, yet Ana’s persistence outdid him, and eventually, Erik relented.
For years, they traveled together, crisscrossing through uncharted territories, exploring both the known and unknown, but in their closeness, oddities began to arise. The lines that marked her face, crinkling the edges of her eyes and mouth, never seemed to grace his features. And though bits of gray peered out from within the dark nest of her hair, his never grew silver, it never thinned or changed. In the thirteen years that she had known him, Erik had never aged, had never grown. In his kiss she could taste nothing but iron, a coppery tang familiar in ways she tried to pretend it was not. All his comforts grew stale, the touch of his hands like ice, and in the dark she conspired to leave, to flee to places unknown, out of his sight, away from such death, but he must’ve known her intentions. Even now, she can feel it, the sting of his teeth upon her neck, the press of a hand against her heart, and then pain, torture, that wretched satisfaction of death. And, when she awoke, Erik was gone, and she was alone.
Ana’s spent the past seven hundred years searching for him, but in every corner of the earth his presence has vanished. It’s like he never even existed in the first place, and though she’s tried to make her peace with that, with the dawn of her new reality, it’s yet to come to fruition. The emergence of Celtius offered her a chance, the opportunity to begin again amongst new faces in a place she’s never known. Her love of the written word, and her extensive collection of books, led her to open Black Raven Books.

Biography (give us 1 - 2 paragraphs about your character, including anything in their backstory which could be triggering or any major plots in their backstory):
tw: death, blood / abandonment
Micaela was born to a werewolf father, William, and a human mother, Genevieve. They were soulmates. When Micaela was almost a year old, their little house in Midtown got ransacked by a hunter while her father was out with the pack. The hunter, hearing about the little addition who was going to carry the werewolf gene, was ready for blood and wanted it badly. Her mother had wrapped a sleeping Micaela up in a grey blanket and put her in the closet, knowing that William or the pack would find her. It wasn’t until a few minutes later that a scream was heard throughout the forest and the pack and William had dashed quickly to the house, seeing Gen in her own blood and a loud cry coming from upstairs, the hunter nowhere to be found.
Absolutely heartbroken, William was seeing red and wanted nothing more than to find the hunter who did this to his wife and he knew he had to be a good father to his daughter. Except he couldn’t face the little girl that looked so much like her mother and he wanted, needed her to be safe. And so, after begging and pleading with a warlock to temporarily save his daughter a life from all of this (which the warlock did), soon after Gen’s funeral, William had given the one-year-old to Genevieve’s parents with a box to give to her when she was older, and they took her to California. Away from the pack and away from Midnight Falls.
Growing up, Micaela (now wanting to be called Mae) always knew something was off about her. She was the fastest girl in school, her senses were heightened by ridiculous amounts, and got weird looks when she wore a light jacket during the coldest parts of the winter season in California. She felt different, carried herself differently than other girls, knew when people were talking behind her back which didn’t make her that likable growing up. Her grandparents were the parents she adored and loved more than anything and was made fun of a lot because she didn’t have real ones. Her mother passed away but she never knew what happened to her dad, she just knew that after her mother’s funeral, her father had handed her to her grandparents and that was it.
But she was eighteen when it happened. For weeks she had been dreaming of wolves and smelling pine trees when she awoke. It was like some weird occurring dream that happened constantly. Two wolves, just leading her around and protecting her until she woke up. Mae had just graduated high school and was ready to go to California State in the fall but she wanted to see the place she was born in. She wanted to see Midnight Falls and more importantly, she wanted to go to Midtown to find her mother’s grave. So her grandparents brought her there, both standing on edge as they knew this was what Mae wanted but was she prepared? It was at her mother’s gravestone that Mae felt her heart break as she looked over the name etched on the stone until she felt on edge, more alert of her surroundings and in sadness, grief and anger that she was deprived of an actual mother, she had transformed into a big wolf. Panicked and freaked she was soon surrounded by her tear stricken grandmother, worried grandfather and many wolves, one of which was in her dream.
The Alpha.
Needless to say, Mae didn’t go to college in the fall but instead moved to Midnight Falls to learn from the pack who took her in (sans father), of the place she was born, and about the world within Celtius and she has been there ever since.
Mae has been hired as a bartender at the Slaughtered Lamb Pub.
TW: mentions of sexual assault and physical abuse.
Tallulah Belle Abernathy was born to an old hunter family going back to the civil war. The Abernathy family hails from the bayou of Louisiana and are proud of their hunter heritage. The family is not exactly “forward-thinking” when it comes to accepting the supernatural species, or anyone who is different from them (even other hunter families, whose traditions vary and can be fiercely tribal).
Tallulah learned all the tricks of the trade and was trained from the moment she could walk in all the skills of tracking, hunting, and killing. While she loved the thrill of the hunt, life in the family was not fun, and often included severe punishments in the form of whippings and confinement in an attic without food. She was a pretty little thing, and she was often treated like an object and groped by some of the men. She was always incredibly spirited and headstrong though, and when she became a teenager she started to rebel against the strict and oppressive life in the family.
She finally fled after her uncle tried to assault her and she put out his eye when she fought him off. Knowing her family would pursue her til the end of her days, she sought refuge in the only place she knew she would be safe, Celtius, among the very creatures she used to hunt and kill. Renouncing her old life, she deeply regrets all the actions of her past and has vowed to destroy any Abernathy who comes anywhere near Celtius’ borders.

tw: abuse, slavery
El woke up in September of 1931 with no recollection on any part of her past. She did know that she no longer aged. She’d had severe tremors throughout her late teen and early twenty years. They were gone as well, but she wouldn’t have remembered them. She was awakened by a warlock by the name of Anthony Del Rose. He gave her a new name. She was Helena now. She followed wherever he went. She acted as a slave for him, while she appeared to everyone they knew as his daughter. He’d experiment his spells on her.
While traveling the world around the time of the second world war, they were separated in an explosion in Russia. Anthony was nowhere to be seen. El didn’t try to look for him, either.
She hid her magic in that time. Something that would prove to be a terrible idea. All she wanted to do was erase the memories that she had of Anthony. She couldn’t feel the spark out come out of her chest without remembering the shocks he’d put her through against her will.
Her magic needed to be used, and it started to eat away at her. It was then that Anthony found her once more. He rebuilt her this time, bit by bit. He only rebuilt the parts of her he wanted. Her free-will and independent motivations were left in their graves.
It wasn’t until she heard of Celtius that she was almost confident enough to leave. On a whim, without thinking or preplanning, she started walking away. He couldn’t have predicted she’d leave, because even she couldn’t have predicted it. She was gone and in Celtius before he could react.
In Celtius, she met Rae and they instantly became close. Rae is her best friend and the only one she trusts.
