"... I'm not here because I want to be..."

Basic Info</b>

Name: Lilibeth (Lily) Dunn

Age: 17

Height: 5'9

Species: Raven Spirit (Demon)

Species Description: An animal spirit is a being possessed by the entity of that animal, usually prenatally; the spirit is a part of the person, indistinguishable, so they are known as the animal spirit. They can range on being indistinguishable from humans to having permanent and very unique traits of the animal, depending on the animal and the power of the spirit. Also, they can shape-shift freely into that animal unless the animal spirit is a demon, in which case the host would be more of a vessel for the spirit instead of being one and the same. Further, also in that case, the form the host can shift into usually takes on demonic traits and is very dangerous and unpredictable, under no control by the host, and outside its form the demon's spirit can torment the host especially through nightmares. Lily's spirit is in fact a demon and is malicious (it possessed her and dispelled the benign raven spirit that had at first been inside of her before she was born) and she has to wear a necklace with a blessed pendant to contain it. 

Abilities:
    • Limited Shape-shifting: She shifts into a raven-demon (an anthropomorphic raven) when she takes her necklace off. This is not by her consent or consciousness and she is terrified of the threat that she would lose control over her demon form.
    • Limited Foresight: Ravens have always been known to be harbingers of ill fortune. Furthermore, Lily foresees the immediate, dooming peril of others, but not of herself, shortly before it is wreaked.

-Self-loathing

Lily is accepting of others (except vampires), but she is far from accepting of herself. She is extremely self-loathing and hates her situation. Hope is a very rare feeling for her, so she often can feel down on herself and be pretty depressing, mostly because of her situation with her demon. She can get very irritated sometimes, for she is easily displeased with herself. She also very pessimistic, because her demon basically ruined her life. In this way, she might not be the best student because she is unwilling to very much; in addition to that, she is very hesitant to use magic available to her for she ironically fears the dark arts because of her demon. Basically, her demon is all she thinks about because she wants it gone.

Her demon, when she takes over her body, is pretty cruel, free-willed (in a bad way), dark-humored, and sultry. 

History:
In a remote human city, Lily was originally predicted by a shaman to be born with the benign spirit of the raven, who lives among all of the other kindly animal spirits before finding someone to be. Her parents didn't take this news very easily- but being informed that it would be harmless offered them comfort. However, before she was born, something went terribly wrong (the shaman suspected that someone had put a hex on her) and her spirit was dispelled and replaced by the spirit's alter-ego, the demon of the raven. She was informed that she would take the abhorrent form of the demon when she was born, so the shaman who was helping her parents crafted a mystical necklace that could hold the spirit at bay throughout her life. 
Being so, early life seemed very hard for Lily, as she was confused and always told to cover up her raven features. Her parents were afraid as well. Although she even got used to hiding her features in public (and even at home), she never got used to her demon, even though when she was young, it could not manifest itself in body, only in short bursts of possession. But the threat of the demon still loomed over her, sometimes getting the best of her in her sleep in nightmares (causing her pendant to crack a few times to her horror), and the shaman did not stop his support for her. As time went on, though, the demon learned to manifest itself in her body. When the pendant cracked or if the necklace came off, she would shift into the demon and would lose herself. This made Lily absolutely miserable. And at other times, Lily wouldn't even have to have anything happen to the pendant when something could trigger the demon to become more powerful and take over her personality, without having to make Lily take its form; Lily would take on the demon's personality and not even notice it until she would snap out of it- it would be like she is the demon, like is the case for normal animal spirits. Both situations would horrify her almost to the point of trauma- and it still does- even though she would be able to take control again. But the shaman foresaw that one day the spirit would permanently get the best of her, in its form or not in its form, and there would be no turning back. So he tried to do what people would do in the movies- he took her to an exorcist. But, unfortunately, it was a wild ride (just like in the movies- she even transformed into the demon and took on its voice (something that hasn't happened before)) and this did not work at all because, in practicality, most exorcists believed that all that is needed to expel the demon is the power of god- and the priest did not have as much power over the demon in this way. After this, the demon was made stronger-possessions occurred more often. 
One day, though, when she was 17, the shaman informed Lily of a place where she could learn even more to control her demon better than he could ever teach her, with the goal of learning to dispel it and replace it once more with her original benign spirit through a true exorcism by herself, one that uses the power necessary and not only some holy water (which unfortunately is the dark arts), by learning more about it and how to do so (enter Astral studies). The place was a school called OtherWorlde Academy. He warned her that the people there also study the dark arts of which she should be very wary, for the dark arts are just as evil as her demon and can make it even stronger. Her parents gave their consent to finally end the control the raven had over her.
So Lily, in OtherWorlde Academy, hopes to be able to take control of her powers provided by the demon in order to defeat it. The problem, though, is that although she can foresee the downfall of others by the nature of the raven, she cannot foresee her own... So she would need the help of many others to be able to accomplish her goals. However, sometimes, Lily thinks it would be easy to just give up and become the demon, even if it meant losing her conscience, losing herself. She'd be more powerful, and have no worries.

Misc. Information
OH MY GOSH I'M ADDING ONE MORE EVERY MINUTE
-It was really hard for her to bring herself to prick herself and her signature in her own blood .-.
-She can't use her wings to fly. They are mainly vestigial (although she can try to learn to fly...?).
EDIT: Aiden (ravenwings52) has taught her how to fly! She still really sucks at it, though.
-She's smoked and gone to a party with drugs before and liked the former, and was okay with the latter. Her parents gave her a good lecture though when they found out.
-Yes that is black on her face
-And yes she is really tall for someone like her~
-She is unfamiliar with other supernatural species (other than classic vampires and werewolves).
-She got a hoodie for her wings from Nisha to cover up those tight clothes of hers :3
-She has a pet spirit-snake that helps keep her pendant on and her demon out that she got from Astral Studies class, named Renier.

-Bullet; PurpleBullet; GreenKerzendochtBullet; GreenBullet; Purple: Why does she try so hard to make me happier and free? She is so filled with hope, though. While I want to be carefree just like Aiden, to give up maybe, Kerzendocht won't let me- but I guess that gives me hope sometimes too, even though hope can hurt sometimes. I just don't want to hurt her again! I'll try my best to make us both happy by ending all of... this. Somehow, I will.
-Bullet; GreenBullet; YellowAidenBullet; YellowBullet; Green: She's pretty cool (and really old). I wish I could just be as carefree as she is.

Roleplaying Preferences:
Notes! Comments are good too :3 I prefer paragraph form by the way ^_^

Lit Sample
Lily stared blankly at her pendant and fingered at it absentmindedly. "Yeah, I do hate it," she replied bleakly and flipped her hair over her shoulder. "I like the color red but I can't wear anything else around my neck except for chokers." She didn't bother mentioning the fact that she also hated it because it was directly related to the demon that may one day take over her. However, it was true that she'd rather have a lot more control over what she can and can't wear, which unfortunately she did not have so much the privilege to do; she looked down at her skimpy clothes that are worn simply not for being promiscuous, but as to not suffocate her wings and her other features that hurt if they are pressed against her skin by any other covering cloth. She had always preferred the baggy jackets that she could wear in public and took that reprieve, even if it hurt her. But other than that she felt obligated to lessen the pain her vestiges caused her when compressed against her body. Maybe I could get someone to make me clothes with holes in them for my wings or something, she thought hopefully but sullenly.
