Appearance:
Ava is a short pretty short 5'4 typical Caucasian girl with brown eyes, brown hair and pale skin. She always was taken by dark high contrasting shades when it came to clothing, or at least something neutral, and has been wearing such things that the odd day she might feel like wearing something bright it seems fit for anyone else but her. With a firmly held belief that uncomfortable clothes are made for wannabes and superstars she refuses to wear heels, or indeed anything all that overly tight or baggy for the sake of fashion, opting for long jumpers, an array of hoodies, jeans and a handful of skirts for those summer months matched with her favourite runners. Though she's a girl who likes her comforts she likes to wear a light layer of make-up, usually in keeping with a natural look, though almost always having to wear the palest foundation she can find, on occasion she'll wear more, usually opting for something very dark around her eyes and a pale lipstick. Most days she'll keep her brunette hair tied back, in a pony tail or pig tails, but has been known to let it loose. So far she currently has no piercings or tattoos to speak of, her mother is very against letting her teenage daughter do something that could be permanent, though she often toys with the idea of getting some.Personality:
Despite the first impression she might give Ava likes a good party and a group of friends as much as the next guy, unless the next guy is a nervous wreck, then not so much like him. She just happens to know how to keep herself amused and handle long periods by herself, but knowing how to make the most of something doesn't automatically equal liking it. Once she warms up, which doesn't take all that long, Ava is actually a very sociable young woman, liking nothing more then to party and talk about rubbish all day long. Unless she has a few drinks on her she can be a little quiet with people she doesn't know, but it doesn't take her long to warm up to someone. If someone is nasty to her, or does something to make her angry she can be petty, or even downright spiteful.History:
With a cute guy she can sometimes find it a little tough to talk to him, not that she's afraid of rejection, or half the time even wants something to happen, but just suffers from plain and simple inexperience. Often she'll blush, find herself talking too much, or too little or making it too obvious, in the heat of the moment she'll manage but afterwards she'll find herself regretting that she said X or did Y.
Ever since she was a kid Ava wanted to have superpowers, I mean what teenager doesn't? Even most adults do. There's little she loves more than reading a good fantasy novel, as a kid she would stack up all her toys and kick them down pretending she was a telekinetic, or a vampire, or any other thing her little mind could come up with. The fact that some actually exist only makes her all the more interested, and at times even jealous. In her view of the whole thing, as generations of people have gone by each has had their own issues to work through, for some it was black rights, for others it was the right to listen to rock and roll, Ava considers her generation the one that will breach the differences between those of a supernatural background and humans.
Academically she tends not to fair so well, lacking interest, and having a small part of her that wants to spite her teachers. She scrapes a pass, and most of the time and doesn't want to bother doing much better than that. She has no real academic hopes, she's not even sure she'll go to college. Someday she dreams to open a shop selling flowers or crafts she makes by hand, art classes being the only things she really likes, though her hobbies change with her mood they're almost always creative in some way, considering herself something of an amateur artist.
Though she's a little afraid of people laughing at her Ava really does love to dance, the problem however is that she's has zero skill, same when she tries to sing, and sadly when she's partying she's been known to do both. When it comes to confrontation however Ava isn't the quickest to ask for help, she believe's in at least taking a crack at something herself, though not a violent person by any means she will try to talk the other person down and show no fear, but she finds it hard to handle the adrenaline crash when the danger has passed, just as when something particularly bad happens no matter how badass she tries to be she finds it very hard not to burst into tears, and humiliating when she does.
Ava's parents were a passionate couple, whose love for each other burned so bright so early on there was no way it could last. They married a year into their relationship, some would call it romantic, while others call it stupidity, and a few months later Ava was well on her way into the world. The pregnancy was the highlight of their relationship, it wasn't an mistake, they both wanted it, and there was no question as to whether or not they loved Ava, but when the rush stopped and life really started to settle in around them they couldn't quite make it work. Her mother, Marissa, would claim her father, Niall, was too irresponsible and reckless. In return Niall would claim Marissa was distant and never there when things got real. Maybe both those things were true, or maybe they simply were sick of each other. Either way, by the time Ava was one they couldn't wait to leave each other. It was ugly at the time, and above all else they fought over the young girl like two dogs over a bone, but she has no recollection of any of that.Name: Modern Gerbil!
In the end she lived alone with her mother in a two bedroom flat, seldom seeing her father other than on a birthday or for an early Christmas present during her early years, but dad always did buy the best toys. Marissa kept them afloat working as a secretary for a local doctor on a small wage, but they managed, aside from the odd month they'd have to cut back on luxuries. Their address was in a rather rough spot in town, the kind you wouldn't want to be caught alone in a dark alley, but there was a very kind old woman, Mrs Barton, with an affinity for blue birds who lived across from them as she'd lost her house some odd years before Ava was even born. On days Marissa was late home from work and couldn't be there when Ava got off the school bus Mrs Barton was always there with an open door and an old box if odd tasting sweets until her mother could pick her up. Ava was a boisterous child a best, with an endless imagination. She would always make Mrs Barton tell her stories about vampires, or ghosts, and for a long time believed Mrs Barton really was a witch, part of her still suspects.
Weekends for Ava were a magical time to be spent with daddy as a child, though as the years went by it would become whole weeks or sometimes only one day in a month. Her mother didn't like her spending time with her father, not trusting him to be responsible enough, but legally she couldn't deny him the right, and as time went on she grew more accustomed, and even thankful for the free time.
School was not Ava's favourite place to be. National school was rough, she was picked on a lot, but when she reached highschool the troubles seemed only to escalate, a girl named Donna, blonde, a little chubby, and a complete nightmare made it her solemn duty to make Ava's life as miserable as she possibly could. Donna lived in the building across from Ava and had the sort of family typical of your schools resident sadist. Ava became accustomed to being by herself in her first year, as Donna made it ever difficult for her to make friends by spreading rumours and publicly humiliating her. Ava hadn't the best relationships with the teachers, largely she was in trouble for not working hard enough, giving her little trust that any of them would help her out even if she did ask for help about her bully. There was also the embarrassment factor involved however in not being able to take care of herself.
Eventually Ava had had enough and started talking back to Donna, shouting matches would ensue and somehow Ava always seemed to be the only one caught bullying. By then most of the school staff was convinced she was the instigator and after a close call of nearly going toe to toe Ava's mother decided to pull her out of the school.
Just as they were looking for a new school Cry Wolf High opened it's doors to humans. Being a girl with a fascination with the supernatural she was automatically drawn to it. It took some convincing but eventually her mother signed the papers and she was starting out as a Sophmore in her new school.

The mystical magical wonders of Nali and NicciSample Post:
Collin was so very unsure about this. Clubs were not places he usually went, they involved girls who wanted smooth talking guys, large amounts of people, loud music, and alcohol. There wasn't one thing about the places that really appealed to him. The last few times he'd been dragged to a club he'd been able to hide in the back with his equally inept, and sober sister while everyone else had fun. It was a shame Collin had never quite mastered the art of saying no. Sure, he'd hummed and hawed about it for a few moments but in the end he couldn't really make himself say no to his new friend. Friend being exactly what Collin considered the other after the moment they met, everyone who said anything nice to Collin in any shape size or form was considered his new friend.
Glancing at his things Collin eyed his letterman, already missing the days where he could wear it and not be laughed at, he had worked hard for it. Opts instead for a dark blue hoodie, which wasn't too ripped up, and a pair of baggy jeans, which were. He never had much regard for clothing, it was the stuff you wore to keep warm, and after that he didn't really care. You wouldn't want to care too much when you had the apt ability to cover your clothes in grass stains and tears almost at the moment of purchase. Staring into a mirror he wondered if he should do something with his hair. Didn't normal people do things like that before going out? Ben seemed to be. He probably should too right? Though in the end he just ruffled his hair a bit and decided it was good enough, he brushed his teeth some time earlier after all, so he was good to go.
He was sort of quiet as they neared the club, growing a little more nervous the closer they got. The club he had been in wasn't actually a club so much as a pub that the kids in town hung out in, he really hadn't much of an idea what to expect from one in a city. When they reached the door Collin couldn't help but take a step back and gape a little at the noise coming from it. How could anyone inside even hear themselves think, yeah okay, that sounded like such an old person thing to say.
"I'm not um..." Pauses and nods to Ben, will do it. Laughs as the other teases him "I wasn't that bad...not really...okay maybe a little!" Grins relaxing a big and follows the other in. Wouldn't make Ben leave though, that would be unfair to the guy after be brought him out here. Half wonders if he'll be expected to drink though
"So ah, you like clubs?" Winces at his own poor attempt to make conversation as they moved inside. More relieved then surprised to find the place isn't as full as TV had come to make him believe all city clubs were, hell, there were nights the club back home was more crowded. Rubbing the back of his neck he looked around, spotting a guy sitting in the corner he almost thought he'd seen somewhere before, otherwise no one caught his eye. "I'll um..you like...want a drink?" Meant it as a nice gesture, not anything weird, already knows it probably sounded weird, damn he can't go two minutes without saying something mortifying
