Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Ciara Tessla Collinsworth; but please, call her Tessla.

Species: Vampire.

Age: Seventeen.

Gender: Female.

Appearance description: As a vampire, she tends not to get too much sun and is thus very pale. This results in the female only preferring to dress in the plain but solid color black most times. The only exception to this is if she feels like one day wearing red for a specific special occasion. With that being said, Tessla is fond of old, classic clothing and leans towards elegant gowns and expensive accessories, such as real gold or silver jewelry. It's quite fitting for a species such as her to have that kind of taste, since vampires have been around most noticeably for over a hundred centuries past.

Personality: Tessla is your typical "princess". Stemming from royalty, she has always had servants do everything from feeding her, to bathing her. And it's not like she doesn't know how to perform these daily practices on her own, she just feels that she doesn't need to waste her precious time in doing them when there are people already at her service to do so. This particular trait of hers is synonymous to being "spoiled". Tessla is also very vain, and this leads to the girl having a very high self-esteem. There seems to be nothing that gets past this large ego of hers, so far. This characteristic of hers can also be translated as having way too much self-confidence. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but who says it can't be her downfall. Having too much confidence means you're rather immune to others' opinions on certain topics, which is why Tessla is known to be extremely stubborn. She almost never gives in to the other person in arguments, only liking to keep her own views. She believes that whatever she says is correct, ninety-nine point nine percent of the time. The only exception is if the opposing arguer goes to great measures in proving the girl wrong; that seems to be enduring a life and death situation and surviving it to tell her that she's wrong on the issue.

Despite these seemingly negative aspects of her, however, Tessla is simply a lonely person on the inside. These bad traits of her are only there because she really doesn't know how to deal with people. She wasn't very sociable as a child, and therefore this snobbish, outer shell was created.

Truthfully, Tessla is a nice, kindhearted person. And she feels that if she shows this part of her, someone will end up taking advantage of her and hurt her.

Bio: Tessla grew up in a rich household and thus never experienced anything of a shortage. Her entire room was the size of half a football stadium, and it was littered to the brim with cute dolls and stuffed animals. Every day, Tessla would have servants bring in luxurious platters full of a delicious array of sweets from all over the world that only people as wealthy as her family could afford. And that's not even half of what her parents had bent their backs to give her. If that doesn't scream "princess", then I don't know what does.

But yes, her parents worked very hard to be able to do all this stuff for Tessla. Money just didn't fly into a person's hands from the sky. Her parents owned a modeling business which gradually became famous around the continent, and that's where all of their earnings rooted from. However, due to this, Tessla barely ever got to see her parents, and she felt rather lonely with only her dolls to play with. She never bothered to talk to the maids because she knew they all probably resented her, having to serve under a bratty little girl such as herself. She gave them applause, though, for being able to withstand being someone's slave for years on end. That is something Tessla would and could never do. She was too proud to be a person's pet.

But enough about her childhood, let's get on to Tessla's teenage years. She was always home-schooled, but her parents had decided to put her into public school once she had turned fourteen. The students, however, had made fun of her abnormally white skin, and some even grew scared of her due to the fangs she bared at them when they did. Three years of enduring this miserable time, Tessla withdrew into herself more than ever before, and she pleaded for her parents to transfer her to another school, immediately. They could never turn down their only child, their princess, and so they willingly complied. Now here she is at Rosentale Academy. Hopefully she'll make friends this time, possibly even a lover, and be able to throw away her outer facade.

Skills and Abilities: Shape shifting - Tessla can transform into any animal she wishes, however she can't turn into a creature. (Example: Cats are easy for her to transform into. Dragons are a no-no; she can't turn into them at all.) She also has increased physical strength and agility, as a vampire of course.
