"Pride Comes Before The Fall? Well, They Haven't Met Me..."
AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM
Name: Elise Constanza Fitzgerald
Nicknames: Tends to go by Connie. Keep your full name close your heart, after all. As confident as she is, she doesn't think she could hold off a summoning just yet.
Gender: Female
Age: Seventeen
Faction: Demon
Race: Avarice Demon, Pride
Natural Ability:
Avarice Demon -- Pride: Like many pride demons, Connie has a stare that can often seem to paralyse it's target; perhaps they are just dazzled by her own natural brilliance?
Personality:
"Sometimes, It Is All About Me." -- Never let it be said that Connie isn't your typical Pride Demonness, because she certainly is. It might be obvious by the way she looks down her nose at just about everyone but fellow demons--and hell, even some demons, except for her fellow Avarice--or perhaps what gave her away was her strut down the hallway, ne? Either way, she does have a mighty confidence in herself, almost to the point of ego, but then, isn't that the definition of being a pride demon? She takes great pride in herself, her heritage, and almost everything about her, from her song to her dance, from her words to her gaze, and more than anything else, it is impossible to miss. Is this irritating to others? Certainly. In fact, it is the top degree of irritating, because even when others impress her, she might still insist she could have done it better on her own...
"I've Got The Pipes... Are You The Snake?" -- Charming, certainly, that's something Connie is. Perhaps she needs something to back up her ego or she would be completely intolerable, or perhaps that is why she's so good at making people follow her? Whether that be her ego talking or not, never doubt that Connie is good at wooing people, perhaps just a particular flirtatious smirk or a well-placed compliment even if she doesn't think the other party deserves it, or perhaps more than that, whatever it is, well, she has it. She thrives in crowds and attention, and the more she gets, the more interesting she seems to get, gaining everything from a sultry ring to her rich tone to an infectious grin from ear to ear, and the energy to back it all up.
"I Am Certainly Not Crying!" -- With big pride comes easy pride bruising, and what can she say? She certainly isn't looking to get her pride bruised, but how could you be so mean?! And how dare you say her performance wasn't perfect?! How could it not be! She had hit every note perfectly and had certainly known the answer to every single problem on the page--how dare you imply that she doesn't know any better! And how dare you imply that she is crying, because proud demonic women do not cry even when the going gets tough, and anyway she is not oversensitive nor is she being a drama queen because some jackin' milk was spilled... Okay, so she's certainly a bit melodramatic, but she doesn't take criticism well, nor does she take failure particularly well. This demonic woman is determined to be on top at all costs, and when she isn't, her reaction can sometimes be disastrous for everyone around her...
"Winning Is Everything." -- If anything, Connie is driven to succeed; never doubt that one for a second. Perhaps it is a natural follow-up to possessing so much pride, so much belief that she will accomplish everything she dreams about, but either way it is what it is, and Connie wants to win at everything. She wants to win at singing, win at dancing, win at fashion, win at charming people--she is certainly better at it than her Avarice Lust Demonness friends, thank you very much--and, well, she's driven to do just that. She spends most of her time aiming to succeed and thinking of ways to succeed at even mundane activities to the point where it can almost seem like an obsession, but never say she isn't determined, and a lot of the time, well, her plans actually do execute fairly well for her. When there's a will, there's a way?
"Sure, I'll Try It!" Perhaps part of her inclination to, well, win at everything, Connie would also like to try everything, and is certainly willing to, so she may succeed at it and perhaps find out more about it in the process. Connie is energized first and foremost by her pride but then by people and new experiences; if offered something new, she will give it a shot. So what if she has never climbed a mountain before? There's no reason why she shouldn't try now, right? Exactly! She's very open-minded and very open to new experiences, throwing herself at nearly everything that comes in front of her. This can, unfortunately, result in her being a bit of a risk taker, and sometimes her own ambition and willingness can come back and bite her in the a**--or just in her pride, which is basically the equivalent of the same...
"You Will Certainly Follow." -- Besides for being charming, Connie is, well, commandeering. She's a dominant force no doubt, backed up by both her heritage at the top of the ladder and her descent from the Seven Sins themselves, thank you, but she's also commanding on her own. She is the type of presence that people can't seem to ignore, whether it be because she is loud--and she certainly can be--or if it just from the way she poses herself, the way she demands attention and sometimes even demands obedience. It's unfortunately a bit of a problem and can tend to irritate people when group work often turns into her demanding everyone else do things the way she says, the exact way she says, because she knows what she is doing here and she certainly doesn't know about anyone else...
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy?
Let's face it, why would she even need to enroll in Academy? Connie herself nearly hrrumph'd at the idea, so those around her knew she would need some convincing. Her parents, proud Avarice Demons themselves, decided to twist things in a certain way to the overconfident Pride Demonness, pointing out that, perhaps, if she went there, she could rouse more crowds and more people to her following, gain more attention that she had always wanted, and rise to the top of the social ladder by starting with her own peers.
... From there, it was easy.
Connie had her bags packed within hours and wondered when, exactly, she would be allowed to leave. She had a whole new generation to sway to her will! ... Right.
FEAR Ability:
Dazzle (Headlights) -- Connie is just so marvelous, isn't she? Perhaps you should take a turn to figure out just how marvelous she is, mm? Connie channels her fear to make herself the only thing that matters in the room, blinding her enemy from whatever they were focusing on prior--even attacking her--to simply admire her and her undoubted awesome.
Physical Description:
Note: These are just ideas! If the artist thinks something else might suit her better I'd be open for discussion. o3o <3
Eye Colour: Her eyes are gem-like with a slitted pupil much like many demons, with a deep amethyst tone to them.
Hair Colour/Style: Her hair is naturally fairly dark, but she will often add dyes to it to accentuate her look, mostly bright colors to catch attention and eyes to her form. Her hair is to her shoulder blades and is fairly wavy/curly!
Skin Colour: She insists her skin is peppered with gems, but she's really just got many beauty marks along medium-toned arms, making her look a bit like what we would think of as Mediterranean!
Clothing Style/Colours: She likes being rather fashionable, but at the same time, her favorite thing to do is show skin. She looks good and she knows it, damn it. ... Of course, nothing too obscene. Stomach exposure, though? A bit of cleavage? See some calves, or some thigh? Certainly! Most of what is accentuated with light, almost neon colors.
Extra: She's got a pair of demonic wings that match the style and color of her skin, marked on the frames. The translucent part of the wings would be naturally dark, perhaps a deep brown?
She also has a pair of horns, as she should. Style of those horns would be up to the artist. :3
