                                      I’m a bit above the average height, standing about eight inches over the five foot mark. I’m rather slender, having been raised in a rather poor life I’m not used to eating the proportions that most people eat. Luckily though, I managed to get enough nutrients in me during my stay with the Fey and when I was an apprentice so my height and body development wasn’t stunted. As a result I’m not lacking in any of the feminine departments. My hair is one of the most…attention drawing features. When I lived in Runitah my siblings would cut the blond locks short but since than I’ve refused to allow anyone to do the same. It now falls past my waist. Yes, I know I said blonde earlier. One of the faeries from way back when thought it would be fun to mess with it and turn it permanently pink. I don’t know what they did, but no matter what I do with my hair I can’t seem to change it back.

                                      So many meaning for such a simple flower. Sacred Affection, Cruelty, Grief, Jealousy. The Desire for Riches. I have to admit that I don’t like having my entire life defined by some sort of seed that lays deep inside me but it seems like its true. I’ve learned about the cruelty of the world and the greif that comes with it at an early age. I was always jealous of the upper-class and well…everyone knows of my “obsession” for money. Sacred Affection? Well that seems to mixed with the whole cruelty and grief thing doesn’t it. But hey, its not all negative. The Marigold also represents passion and creativity. As such the flower is often used in love charms. It is also a magical flower that is said to induce psychic visions of fairies if rubbed on the eyelids. I guess that explains my ability to see through the glamour the faeries are so found of.

                                      I’m been told that my tongue is a whole hell of a lot sharper than most of the blades you can find in the castle. I’m sarcastic and blunt. I call them as I see them and very rarely do I hold back. This probably should get me in a lot of trouble with the monarch but I think the queen actually appreciates my honestly. I won’t deceive her like some of the nobles who try to surround her and she knows that I won’t lie about my progress in the experiments. But despite what’s been said about me, I’m rather easy going when it comes to accepting things. I adapt fast and am pretty tolerant. I’m both intelligent and intuitive, relying on fact at the same time as my instinct.

Hello, I’m AqwaGaurdian but it’s a lot easier to call me Aqwa. A bit about myself is that I’m an epee fencer and a senior in high school. I can usually get on at least once a day and I’m usually on for an hour or two. There might be some days I can’t get on, with fencing practice and college things that I still need to finish up with. I’m interested in this roleplay because she looks rather interesting. I like how well written it looks and the diversity of characters that you have. It looks like it would be fun to play out.

                                LIKE ME ; A bit of a dominatrix, Lila is the type of person who likes to be in control; in life, in play, and in the bed. She gets a strange thrill in making people submit to her will. Which is rather surprising as she’s one of the least manipulative people in the business. She has no patience when it comes to waiting for action, she has no time to sit back and use people like the pieces of a chess game. She prefers to be blunt, to be in the moment when it comes, and not to think too much about the possible outcomes. Plans rarely go exactly the way you want them to, so Lila doesn’t plan. She’s spontaneous and fearless in jumping to situations and always willing to hit someone or something. Lila is a big fan of the two folds rule; whatever you do to her, you can expect it back and more.

                                CALL ME GOD ; Lucky: Beginner’s luck takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to this young woman. Said to be born under a lucky star, Lila has the ability to do anything perfectly…the first time at least. She is the Black Jackals ace in a hole when it comes to winner take all situations and only they could truly appreciate this flashy style. But Lila’s luck isn’t limited only in a onetime deal, in fact that’s only a small part of her “talent”. It seems in high pressure situations, when the odds are stacked against her, does her true luck shine through.
                                Adaptive: Throw Lila in the middle of a gunfight and in less than five seconds, she’ll choose a side. High adaptive, the albino has little to no trouble adjusting to changes. From the Gobi to the Artic, from best friends to mortal enemies, she won’t even bat an eye. She quickly evaluates the situation and changes according to what needs to be done.
                                Perceptive: Lila is not the best marksman in the world nor is she an expert in all forms of combat. What she is good at, is reading people. She knows all the little subconscious movements that give hints at things to come and it allows her to respond. She can foresee when someone is going to try to pull their gun, or draw a blade, or even aim a punch. Lila is a reactor, not an actor.

                                LOLFAIL ; Consistency: While Beginner Luck dose tend to shake the opponent up, it doesn’t stop Lila from fleeing at the mention of best 2 out of 3. Consistency is her worst enemy and it seems to have a mutal hatred of Lila as well. The first time everything is perfect, the second is as bad as the next amateur, the third time could go horribly wrong or maybe better. No one knows. A running gag in Lila’s circle in the Black Jackals is to ask if she’s done a similar job before.
                                Languages: Lila has never been very good when it came to languages. She can speak English and German fluently, but her Japanese can be…flawed. It’s not as if her sentences are choppy or that she uses “desu” at the end of every statement. But she dose have the tendency to mix up some words, making for sometimes awkward sometimes hilarious situations.
                                Tunnel Vision: Lila’s biggest weakness is her inability to focus on more than one person in a fight. In a hand to hand combat situation, she is constantly focusing on the opponent in front of her in order to “read” them or whatnot. She is highly susceptible to sneak attacks and ambushes. Fighting more than more person close up is not in her best interest.

                                HUSH-HUSH ; Lila adores children and animals, though she’ll never admit it. She loves the fact that they are so brutally honest, that they will tell it to you straight if they hate your guts. They are not afraid to be themselves and if you don’t like it than you can go suck it. But after you hit the age where you start to care what others think, Lila loses all her kindness for you.
                                MY STORY STARTS HERE ; Lila was born into a wealthy family living in Germany whose linage went back to some sort of Prussia nobility or elite. She never really paid attention when her grandfather went on one of his little rants on their family tree and its wonders. All she knew was that her family was rich, always had been rich, and as far as she knew back then, always would be. Her mother assured her that she would never have to work a day in her life as long as she did what she was told and that was good enough for Lila.

                                The Adler family consisted of an ancient patriarch who was starting to become a redundant airbag, his two sons of which only one was competent, the cheating wife of the inept son, and the female product of an affair between the wife and her husband’s brother. Of course, it was decided at a very early on that none of this information would fall to Lila’s ears or the media’s hands. The little girl would always find her family dynamic to be somewhat strange but she managed to grow up unscarred. Well, as unscarred as a girl carrying the weight of her family’s name on her small shoulders can be.

                                There were a lot of expectations placed upon Lila as the only child in a powerful family. The language classes, the etiquette lessons, the dance recitals, fencing practice she was taught everything she needed to know in order to become a “perfect” lady, one worthy enough to inherit all that belonged to the Adler line. She learned the responsibilities of the female head of the house, most of which was based on social interaction. She had to make people open up to her, befriend them, all the while keeping them at an arm’s length away. “Today’s friends are tomorrow’s enemies.” Her mother often said when Lila spend too much time with a single person. “you have to know what they are thinking before they do in order to survive in the world.”

                                That statement seemed to rule Lila’s life, both publicly and privately. Even her family seemed to have their own agenda at times and they weren’t above using the people closest to them in order to achieve their goals. Not to say that the Adler family were emotionless beings that would sell their loved ones out, it was more a mutual agreement that they were fair game. Relationships were never cold between them, more lukewarm. Lila did have several happy memories, moments where she felt loved and adored. Like when her grandfather decided to teach her how to become an austringer or when her mother would read to her at night.

                                Her favorite memory is of the nights when her “uncle” would allow her into the parlor room when he and his friends were having a civil round of cards. He would let her sit on his lap, or next to him as she grew older, and ask if she would like to take part. The other gentlemen in the room would coax her into the game, teasing her until she agreed. The look on “uncle’s” face when she won against them all always made Lila feel warm inside. He was proud of her and everyone knew it.

                                But then the family fell apart as Lila’s grandfather passed away. He had been the guardian of the family closet and with his death, the skeletons living inside it came out to play. Lila’s mother took off to god knows where when she heard the gossip about the Adler family being involved in less than innocent endeavors. She divorced her husband and returned to her family before a real investigation was started. Turned out to be a smart move. It seems that their blue blood wealth had run out long ago and it was due to the underworld that they managed to keep their status. Lila’s “uncle” was being held responsible, but she was taken away to America by her “father” before she could learn of his fate.

                                While in America, it became obvious that Lila’s “father” had no idea how to take care of himself. A drunk and gambler back in Germany, he was still the same man he was before only now he was poor. It was hard to make ends meet on most days and it was starting to take its toll on Lila. She was raised to be better than this! She was a ******** lady! Several times she contemplated leaving her worthless father on his own and going off alone. But some sense of filial piety kept her from doing so. Until the day the lowlife tried to gamble with her as his bid. The a*****e had the nerve to actually lose! Luckily the idiots where all drunk and Lila managed to convince them to play her for her freedom and her father’s money. When she won, a fight broke out as they accused her of cheating.

                                A glass bottle cut her, scarring her face permanently. The fight probably would have ended badly for her, but her luck shown through and some bystander intervened and dealt with the situation. Feeling rather thankful to the man, she treated him to a meal and learned that he was a part of the Black Jackels. Lila decided to follow him into the gang, whose initiation she found to be amusing, and she decided to stay in even after her savior died in the crossfires. She adapted to this new life style and threw away her old one. She never met with her “father” again and she never plans t.
