Name: AetuliaNicknames: Flutterby (pet name from her mother)
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Faction/Race Demon - Horerczy
Personality: Being a demon gives one great pride; the movers and shakers of politics, all pulling the strings of Halloween. However, when your race of demons has nearly been forgotten by the test of time, it can make things a bit more complicated. Aetulia wants to make a name for herself and her species but is frequently met with bumps and obstacles that she doesn't know how to deal with, in particular those other creatures. She is by no means a 'social butterfly' and finds general conversation or small talk to be an awkward chore, especially with creatures that aren't Demons, Ghosts or Vampires.
Aetulia is not fragile in the sense that she is easily hurt or offended, but she does have many delicate sensibilities that, if she feels are being infringed upon, will cause her to react to varying extremes. One of these is a personal bubble, which she keeps up quite often; she would very much prefer you or anyone else keep your grubby paws off of her and not come within two feet of her if you can help it. Accidentally being brushed against, even, will cause her to clam up and cringe and she will need to take a moment of solidarity before she is able to compose herself. Loud noises, disgusting smells, the cold, there are many things Aetulia doesn't agree with or finds to be below her and she will try her best to ignore these things; if they are somehow pressed upon her, you may meet with claws, fangs... or a cloud of butterflies.
Despite this, she is not entirely a party pooper and in fact does enjoy most social situations if she can get at them from a political stand point. The main reason she's at Amityville to begin with is for her race to gain recognition among Demons and allow them to get a proper seat within the demonic political spectrum and Aetulia can be known to attempt governing certain situations even if they don't really involve her. If you've invited her to a party, expect her to make suggestions and various attempts to help out, liven it up or even suggest various safety regulations. All for the greater good, right? She is also very intent on being on time and keeping a schedule but also enjoys penciling in some down time; you can't work 24/7 and not crash sometime, after all.
One of Aetulia's favorite past times is gardening or laying about in fields; none in Halloween are particularly "beautiful" from a human standpoint but her butterflies don't mind the dank and dreary atmosphere--it's what they were born into, after all. Aetulia takes good care of her butterflies and thinks of them somewhat as siblings; as they are a hive mind, there is no point in naming them individually (there are far too many anyhow) but she does have pet names for them as a whole such as "darlings" or "pretties". Before bed each night, she reads part of a book aloud and can feel their enjoyment as they flutter about inside of her.
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? To put it lightly, her particular species has never been given the amount of attention most other Demons have. In fact, if it weren't for the Alps, her entire race may have been forgotten. They were never particularly popular or widely known, but in Germany's Middle Ages they were at least spoken of with some interest. Very few of her particular flock have gotten into Amityville Academy in the past, most too forlorn to bother with anything but short term attempts to assert their presence as Demons in politics. Aetulia's mother saw the flaws in this and realized there needed to be a longterm attempt, something that might not have had immediate results but would pay off in the end. Amityville Academy was home to the most well known and unknown ghosts and goblins. She was too old to attend herself but her young daughter was more than able. Aetulia took on this responsibility eagerly, wanting to be recognized as much as any other member of their flock and is working hard to become a well known Horerczy as well as a renowned Demon.

Natural Ability: Every single member of her species carries within them a large flock of butterflies able to be expelled through their mouths at a moment's notice. They can act as messengers or a form of attack as these particular butterflies enjoy the taste of blood as much as their host and any vampire. Unfortunately for Aetulia, she doesn't quite know how to regulate the flow of her butterflies yet and so every breath will cause a few stray ones to escape and flutter around her for a few minutes before returning down her throat.
FEAR: Year 1 - Energy Drain Sending out her flock of butterflies, Aetulia directs them to her enemy and they begin nipping and sucking at any skin they can reach. Even the smallest bit of blood and FEAR collected is worth the effort and the ones that return to Aetulia unharmed add the opponent's stolen FEAR to her. With this, she is able to restore up to 20% of her FEAR but her butterflies are tired and must rest. This can only be used twice per battle with a cool down period of 10 minutes.

Other: A particular weakness of her race, beyond holy artifacts, magic and whatever else hurts Demons, is a wild rose. To be even within the vicinity of a wild rose vine will cause her discomfort--sometimes even nausea at the abundant aroma--but if she should be pricked by a thorn or touched by a petal it will burn and cause a great deal of damage.
Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Rose red with dark purple shadow/mascara and accented lashes.
Hair Colour/Style: Velvety black and cropped; it is combed neatly at the back so it just touches her neck with a straight curtain of bangs over her forehead. Two long pieces trail to her collar bone, framing her cheeks, and are braided. A dark butterfly clip rests on one side of her head, a small white skull in place of its head.
Skin Colour: Pale with a very slight purple tone.
Clothing Style/Colours: Victorian in appearance, Aetulia wears mostly black with indigo and purple accents; she has black heeled boots with spats and long black lacy leggings beneath a short black and purple pleated skirt. Around her waist is a black corset which connects to a flared bolero around her shoulders (and in the back, from that, tails a sort of cape shaped and patterned like black and purple butterfly wings)*. Her sleeves are long, frilled and laced, nearly hiding her hands completely but her sharp black nails and pale fingers peek out. The final accessory is a wine colored tabard which ties into a belt on her corset and hangs to her thighs, as well as functioning as her top.
Extra: Her horns are long, thin and curved shaped somewhat like antennae. They are black, with the tips being a dark purple, and are adorned with strings of small jewels. There will always be one or two butterflies (black swallowtail butterfly) fluttering around her.
