Caress_Of_Darkness
Username:Caress_Of_MoonlightName:Kelli Savage
Age:18
Band Position:Lead Vocals and Back-up Guitar: Together with Valerie, they write the songs for the band, normally consulting with the others for beats or rhythms then writing out lyrics later or even on the spot at practice. Being the first member of the band Kelli and Valerie made most of the gigs as well, booking shows and arranging for transportation, when the band was new.
Personality:Kelli had always been one to be socially active, her laughter was hard won but she could cause those around her to piss themselves. She was naturally graceful, learning at a young age on stage that her movements were silk on silk and that her voice matched her grace, a beautiful tone when controlled, but held a power to project over an audience without a mic. Stage fright never plagued her and it spilled over into her social life, never being afraid to be the center of attention, but also never seeking it. Most would consider Kelli a down to earth, sweet girl who loves her friends like family, and would work her a** off to get anything done when she puts her mind to it. Incredibly creative, she has written songs and poetry since she was younger and learned to play guitar to add music to the lyrics. It isn't uncommon to catch her singing to herself when she gets bored, just loving the sound of music, no matter the quality.
Biography:For years Kelli's parents sent her to a private Catholic School, where the nuns there never left her alone. She was tormented that she wasn't a good enough student, that she wasn't devoted enough to god and that she talked to much. But Kelli could handle all that with a roll of her eyes and a flip of her hair, but one Friday during school service everything changed for her.
It was Ash Wensday and when she went up to receive her ashes she walked back, the ashes falling off as they always do throughout the day. By her last class the ashes were mostly gone, but in their wake was a red rash forming. It had been an allergic reaction to the scents in the ashes but she was immediately labeled the anti-Christ by one of the nuns, saying that She could not bare gods mark. Even for her devoted parents that was stepping past the line, transferring her to a new Catholic school across the way.
St. Anthony's was a nice school, but it held the same issues for Kelli that St. Johns had. Seeing a councilor every day at the new school was why the new school failed. He asked her what her beliefs were and Kelli proudly exclaimed that she did not believe in Christianity, but in Paganism. Instantly shunned again, now in the eight grade she was alone, determined to ride out the pain until High school, doing her best to never let the torment change her personality or her smile.
That was when she met Valerie. Walking down the hall to lunch one day she was some girls picking on her for being different. She heard, "Magic user" and "Devil worshiper", things she herself was called on a regular basis, and rushed over to defend her. But Kelli soon realized as she got closer that she needed no help, scaring the girls off easily as she growled and pretended to cast a spell on them, laughing as they ran. Kelli walked over to her, confused by what she had just seen, and said, "What was that" Valerie just smiled and responded, "Stupidity" And that was the end of it. They went to eat lunch together and soon became the best of friends, taking Guitar lessons together, joining choir and spending more and more time together. Kelli's mom loved Valerie immediately and knew her parents from church, the story of her life with them and was always the first to suggest Valerie stay the night or stay the week with them, adopting her as her own almost. From then on the girls have been inseparable.
