[Ghost] Alwine's Hollow

[Kaze Taco]

Enrollment

It took the secretary two months to discover that his stapler had been stolen. It took him exactly three months to discover that someone had thought it was funny to stick dead Floresce in his drawer, and a little longer to pull out an old issue of Hornz from under the cabinet.

The fact that Alwine's application form fluttered out from said old copy of Hornz only made the secretary eyebrow raise slightly. Just slightly.

Obituary

AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Alwine Van Brunt
Nicknames: Allie, Al, Winnie
Gender: Female
Age: Dead for Sweet Sixteen years

Faction/Race: Ghost- Haunt
Natural Ability: Object Invocation- A haunt's powers are usually tied to their power object in some way. (in this case, an ectoplasmic flaming pumpkin)

Personality:
Alwine is certain that she has a thoroughly dislikable personality. Perhaps it comes from the fact that she's the middle child in a tiny off-branch of the Van Brunt family, but she has been generally overlooked from the day she was tripped over in the pumpkin patch. (That's how she was found. Her parents tripped over her.)
It's not that the Van Brunts were a bad family... it was that they were the opposite. Some great great grand second cousin's roommate's banker's lawyer's friend did something famous, and the headless family simply hasn't been able to let go. For the last century or so, they have been loudly campaigning to be officially adopted into the ranks of the demons, but they have always been met with very cordial letters thanking them for their interest but ultimately declining them. Perhaps the demons were hoping that this would shut up the Van Brunts. It never did.
So, Alwine was born into a tiny branch of a family tree that had egos the size of Ginger's fermenting lunch meals from the month prior. Perhaps this helped shape her low self-esteem and her tendencies to (literally) blend into the background.

Elegance and social pizazz is a way of life in the Van Brunt family. While elegance and decorum were able to be beaten into Alwine's head-- er, neck, the girl is a clinging vine and a wallflower all in one. At parties, she has a tendency to latch onto the unfortunate soul that addresses her first, and won't let go. It isn't like she chats their ear off or anything... she just stands there. She stands, watches, and observes. What makes these people so confident? If Alwine does say something, she apologizes afterward and generally slinks away. She has a dislikable personality, of that she is certain.

Enough of her weaknesses, let's see what Alwine enjoys and is good at. For someone with no ears, Alwine is a great listener. She loves to give her opinions and advice, though she'll be the first to tell you that it often isn't very sound.
She also loves to dress herself up, and she gains confidence when she wears clothes she particularly enjoys. Her favorite outfit has a high white collar that matches the doily covering her severed neck perfectly (she always wears a doily or some sort of cloth there... just because she has no head doesn't mean she has an excuse to show off unsightly gore!) She loves dresses with high collars, and pretty much anything that accents the neck: pearls, broaches, and feathered collars are her favorite. She also enjoys lace gloves and riding attire (which is ironic, given the history of her great great grand second cousin's roommate's banker's lawyer's friend), though horses (corporeal, spectral, and skeletal) terrify her.

Alwine is at her happiest when she's outside with her favorite camera, an old Obscura Redux 1820. She loves photography, and wants to travel Halloween and eventually the human world searching for beautiful abandoned sites like saw mills, wind mills, amusement parks, and bridges. Old bridges are possibly her favorite... though she's fallen through quite a few (which is quite a feat for a ghost), it never seems to deter her.

She also collects lipsticks, oddly enough. She has entire shelf dedicated to lipsticks, glosses, and stains of all colors and shades. She never uses them for anything, choosing to keep the stick in pristine shape and condition.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? The Van Brunts have hated schools and school teachers for generations. Those who have attempted to complete their education at Amityville have found themselves inelegantly retreating due to their egos refusing to let them listen to anyone who considers themselves faculty or staff. Though her initial request to attend Amityville was overlooked (as always), Alwine was finally allowed to submit her application. Her entire family is certain that it will only be a matter of time before she comes back-- and rightly so! The Van Brunts are far mightier than any mere schoolteacher. Alwine harbors no feelings of disrespect for anyone, even the Van Brunts' ruler-wielding nemeses. Like many things, schoolteachers actually terrify her. She always answers with "ma'am" and "sir", and if she's asked a question that requires more than a "yes" or "no", she stutters until she finds an answer that the schoolteacher might deem suitable. Maybe.

The classes that Alwine are especially interested in are Paranormal Photography and Literature. Reading is a solitary act, and one that Alwine actually believes that she's good at (shocker).

FEAR: Many of Halloween's residents love pumpkins, and Alwine is no exception. She focuses her ectoplasm to form a flaming pumpkin (though she isn't good enough at it yet to make it appear orange and red with flames... at the moment it's mostly see-through and monochrome). She hurls it at her opponent, and crosses her fingers that it hits something or another. As she practices, the pumpkin will solidify more and maybe get even bigger.

Physical Description:
Eye Colour: n/a
Hair Colour/Style: n/a
Skin Colour: Invisible!
Clothing Style/Colours: Something like the one on the right, only with a very, very high neckline (normally adorned with pearls, feathers, or a broach) and laced gloves. She also prefers to wear greens and blues with black trim.
Extra: She has no head. Nothing. Not even a pumpkin to replace it. Nada.

Minipets


Pumpkin:
Haunts are usually tied to an item that they can summon using their Natural Ability. This is Alwine's item: a spectral Jack-o-Lantern. It's usually found in her large alligator purse, and is the subject of her FEAR attack. Technically it's made out of her ectoplasm. Yay ectoplasm.



Sadako Doll:
I'm sure most of you in the human world know the story of the girl in the well and her cursed videotapes. Somehow, one of the videotapes ended up in the Minipet Closet and they began to spawn. One of these videotapes ended up in Alwine's possession, and now she's forced by this doll to give copies to unsuspecting victims. Luckily, she's more likely to o w o than give you the eye.



Archer:
This cat used to belong to Claire, but one day he ended up on the end of Alwine's bed. Perhaps it was fate. Perhaps the two of them were drawn to their similar fashion statements. Perhaps he just found himself there one day and was too lazy to leave. This cat never moves from his spot unless Alwine puts him in her alligator purse. The only time he'll move is if she tries to put him in the closet. Then, as soon as her back is turned, he's back in his spot on the bed.



Jingleberry:
A treat named after the Ninja of Candycane Lane. Jingleberry hates you. Jingleberry hates your mom. Jingleberry hates everyone. He is Alwine's 'coach' of sorts-- as in when she doesn't start working on her homework, he throws things at her. It'll start with a pillow, then gradually move up to things like pens and ends, finally, with peppermints. Jack knows how he gets ahold of those JOY-filled things, but they hurt. A lot.



Trixie Bell:
A memento from Alwine's forced visit to her aunt's house. This pigimp, who at the time was small enough to fit in the palm of her hand, was the only thing that made her happy. So, when she saved enough pumpkin seeds to run away back to school, of course Trixie Bell was coming with her. As soon as that pig got introduced to some proper Amityville FEAR, she shot up to be the size of horse-- and not the FEAR-stunted kind, either!



Doornail:
Doornail showed up at the Ghost Dorms during the Christmas Invasion. Sadako Doll let him in, because she thought that he would make an excellent mount. Doornail had other ideas, and spends most of his time bothering Alwine for walks. Walk time can be nao, plz? Nao? Nao? /whiiiiiiine
