AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLMENT FORM

Name: Lilura Balandria (means "Enchantment of the Ressurection" in Basque and Spanish)
Nicknames: Lily
Gender: Female
Age: 16

Faction/Race Reaper/Animator

Personality: Resident book worm is a good description of this witch. She has been under her mother's instruction until she was able to come to the school. She has a very large burden to bear being the next Head of the House so Lily can be rather obessive about learning. Lily can be something of a loner, prefering the company of her Scythe, Tartalo, but enjoys the company of demons since they enjoy her abilities and her family has sold their services to them in the past. However there is a string of mischief in the little witch. After all how often does your salt shaker suddenly dance across the table when you reach for it. Or maybe your book suddenly bites you? You can be sure Lily is around. Also, unlike many witches, Lilura does not have a familiar in the form of a animal. In fact she rather dislikes small living things. Given her powers she prefers the inanimate objects of the world, like the acceptance bin! This is why Tartalo also acts as her familiar, he was created when Lily was born and has been with her ever since. He feels like a guardian despite having limited movement, just beweare of those teeth if you make his little one cry.

Why did they enroll at the academy? Lily is the next female in line to head the Balandria House. She comes from a long line of "animators" of all types so she needs to perfect her abilities before entering the family buisness. She hopes to prove herself worthy of her title.

Natural Ability: Like the women of her clan, Lily can bring objects to life to help her. Her specialty happens to be everyday inanimate objects. She can't make flowers or trees come to life, only nonliving or man-made things. Think of The Sword in the Stone and Sorceror's Apprentice. However, due to her limited abilities, she can only do this to small objects. Anything bigger than a basketball is too big for her to control. One day she hopes to be able to create and control the creatures known as Mimics and sell them to the rich as traps or protection....or for fun. Some are in the form of chests, others are in the form of books, and still even the wierdest ones have been vases. She feels that will be the ultimate spell.

FEAR: In a fight she prefers to have small items of her opponant's clothes distract them. Her favorite thing is enchanting the other person's shoe laces or a lovely scarf in the face. The clothing cannot harm the person, but it's sure hard to attack when your belt refuses to hold up your pants. The animated item can only obey simple one word commands as they have no real intelligence yet. The clothing stays animated unless it is dispelled by Lilura or is some how restrained. Of course those creatures who where very little clothing are not really affected. But mummies suffer in so many ways!

Extra
Lily's family is very matriarcal. All the women in her clan are known as "animators". Her mother is good with plants, which makes her garden a very dangerous place to tread. Her aunts use their powers on actual dolls such as patchworks and one even animates only bones! Her grandmother was good with more fleshy corpses, being able to reanimate the body without a soul. Caused a few zombie problems but no one says much about it. It was her great-grandmother that gave Lily her dream. Her talent had also been non-living things and was said to have learned the secrets of giving her mimic's souls. That made them rather hard to destroy as they had a will to live. She was the most famous member of the clan and Lily seems to have inherited a need to be just as great. There are days she is jealous of her older brothers, all of whom are elemental warlocks. Sometimes she just wants to shoot a fireball at someone but sadly cannot.
