APPEARANCE DETAILS
Appearance: Phaedra, stemming from her Latina/Cherokee roots, is considerably tan year round. And my, my, she's got some curves. A rather tiny waist and round hips, it shows how much she's matured. Having C-sized breasts, on a verge of being a D, she sometimes may appear as an 19 year old, or someone in college. But besides her virginal curves, Phae's face is small and angular with high cheekbones, silver eyes trimmed with thick black lashes, and shock of thick black hair that goes to mid-back and is naturally wavy. Full pink lips are set in a mouth which is often parted slightly to reveal straight white teeth, the product of three years of braces. However, underneath those clothes, one will see a ripped body, kept in the utmost shape, and scars crisscrossing her body in thin silver lines, except for the occasional thick one near her neck or around her shoulders. but overall, phaedra is extremely beautiful, but not in the fair haired, blue eyed kind of way.
Phae
Clothing Style: Phaedra's style of clothing gives no hint to what kind of life she has lived. She wears t-shirts and jeans most of the time, and maybe the pair of low-riders and a cute top, or the baggy sweatpants and fitted tee. It really just depends on her mood. However, she mainly wears the school uniforms, because most of the time, she's at school.
Special Accessories: She has a pure silver necklace that looks like a delicate choker as it sits close to her neck. And on it is a bright red ruby. This is the only think she has from her biological parents and she never takes it off but to clean it. From what she's had said to her by jewelers, the whole necklace, gem and silver, are all real, making the value quite high.
PERSONALLY
Over-all Personality: Phaedra has a sense of sadness that emits from her sometimes. She might've been a lot different had she'd been properly taken care of through all these years. However, Phae is naturally an optimist. She's constantly trying to pick out the good in her life, though, she does see that really, there isn't any besides being at a school that finally gets her. She's loyal and caring, but her major flaw? She has very, very, very bad trust issues. It takes major events or shows of affection to get her to trust you. Even minutely. And even though she does try to make light of situations, Phaedra can be very sarcastic, cruel, morbid, cold, aloof...you name it. She did inherit a temper and a very touchy one at that. It takes something reasonable to make her go off, but once she does, she's not at all afraid to fight it out.
Phaedra is always at war with herself. Wierd as that sounds, there's a method for her madness. She's always trying to make herself approachable, yet, she's kind of shy and rebels against any real social experience. When she becomes too stressed for her own intellect (she's rather smart), she finds herself drawn to animals like paper to glue. Animals are her love, as it science.

BACKGROUND
History: Phaedra is the classic case of abuse with a twist: the supernatural elements. Phae doesn't know who her real parents are, only the hellish creatures that took her in and adopted her so to speak. When Phae was born, within 24 hours of birth, she was cast away from her biological parents and sat on the front porch of the Smith's house in lone Columbus, MS. For the first few years of her life, Linda and Jarren took good enough care of her, feeding her when she she was starving, giving her stained hand-me-downs when they could most definitely buy her new clothes and feed her the average three meals a day. Safe to say, the Smiths just did enough to keep her alive. It was this away until she was about ten years old, when Jarren suddenly found that he liked the way Phaedra looked one night when he came home drunk.
Linda just watched Phaedra scream and give futile attempts at kicking and punching. Jarren was a tall, heavy man. He beat her and then raped her over and over again, leaving his 10 year old foster daughter numb, broken, and on the floor nearly dead. It wasn't too long after this that Phaedra had her first period and things started to change. The beatings got progressively worse and it was a wonder Phae never got pregnant. At the age of 13, Phae's only escape was school and she loved it, learning and meeting new people. However, she shied away from even the smallest of touches. That's when she met Mrs. Dorothy Scotts. The elderly teacher took young Phae under her wing and lots of times, Phaedra would go missing from her house; she could be found at Mrs. Scotts, who told her to call her Granny Dot.
Granny Dot took care of Phaedra for two years, and for two years, the real girl inside of her bloomed. Despite the rapings and the beatings, Phaedra was becoming happier, all because of the kindness one widow bestowed upon her. But on her 15th birthday, Phaedra's whole world changed. Dramatically. She was coming home from school, clutching the bag of new clothes, books, and school supplies to her chest when Jarren attacked her. She had just shut the door and let out a meek, "hello", when he came up from behind and hit her across the back with a 2 x 4. Falling forwards, she had let go of her presents from Granny Dot, and twisted, falling on her back instead. It not the breath out of her, so she could not defend herself too well from her foster father. He had discarded the piece of lumber for a long kitchen knife.
Jarren straddled her and held the knife to her throat while he pulled down her pants and forced himself upon her for what had to be the millionth time. No matter how many times he had down it to her, she would always fight. It was in her to fight. But instead of feeling the inevitable, she felt revitalized and so, so angry. That's when she felt a pain that wasn't coming from his raping her, it was coming from inside her body. She let out a blood-curdling scream that only seemed to make Jarren pause for a moment before continuing. She felt a pain no one could ever imagine. She clutched her head and cried, screaming as loud as she could. The neighbors had long come to ignore her, but her screams held a new note, one bordering insanity, hysteria, and they came to her house to see what was happening. It was then, that it disappeared and Phaedra no longer existed. Only a beast. Letting out an ungodly snarl/howl, her silver eyes gleamed pure with no pupil, no white, only iris. She pulled Jarren off of her with a simple flick of her wrist, his body colliding with the wall on the other side of the room, and a whole fist full of hair in her hand. She had no reasonable sense, just the beastality becoming a part of her.
That day, on her birthday, she killed Jarren, showing no mercy. She also killed the nosy neighbors that had come in the house. It was after all this was done that the power vanished and Phaedra was back, blinking and confused. She saw limbs torn off, mutilated faces...the typical cannibalistic-zombie-was-here scene. Horrified, she ran out of the house, heading towards Granny Dot's house. Staggering into her only friend's house, the sweet old woman never judged and only let Phae tell her what happened, or rather, what she remembered. She came to the conclusion that magic, powers, did exist. But Granny Dot already knew they existed and told Phae to go get cleaned up and then go to the grocery store so that she could bake a cake. Phae did as told, and while she was gone, Granny Dot called the T'zenshin Institution and arranged Phaedra to go there.
But something happened: Granny's house had been the unfortunate victim of arseny. Granny herself too. By the time Phaedra had walked back to the house, which was an hour and a half later, the house was up in flames and was at it's foundation. There were ambulances, firetrucks, police cars...Phaedra just remembers tears sliding down her face and running towards the house, only to be stopped by a brawny cop. But in her desperation, she slipped away and ran into the house without a single care to herself. While everything else was burned and still burning around her, Phaedra found the old steel table in the kitchen. The blaze around her, Phaedra didn't pay any mind to the fire itself. Only the letter on the table. It was untouched. In the letter was the crucial information, about how to get to the school, and about Granny herself. She had powers too. The power of intuition. Phaedra never knew how the letter didn't burn before she got there, but when she looked up and looked back down, the letter was merely ash. That's when Phae seemed to really notice there was a fire around her.
That's when she also noticed that she was on fire...and it didn't hurt. It didn't even feel uncomfortable. It felt like it was a part of her skin. Soft, playful the flames were. Scared witless, but unbelievably intrigued. Phaedra slipped out of the burning building. The fire parted with her, though a bit sorrowfully, as it if was sad to see her go. She thought she was crazy, but when she exited the building, no worse for wear and was told that Granny Dot had indeed died of smoke inhalation and third degree burns, Phaedra exploded. Literally. She exploded in a burst of flame that engulfed her body. The fire blazed nigh 100 feet around her and about as high. Half the neighborhood was burned and people were on fire. Phaedra was terrified of herself. She did the only thing she knew how to do: hide and run.
So, for the past two years, she's been moving constantly, working to gather money for her last two years of high school. And at the age of 17, she's finally got here. Meet mysterious new girl, Phaedra Smith; a student that hides her past like it's nobody's business.
Secrets: She's incredibly frightened of men and boys, 14 years plus, and she has attempted suicide several times.
Gift: Phaedra can manifest and control every aspect of fire. It's like there's fire inside of her, because she could simply snap her fingers and there's a foot long flame floating just above her short appendage. However, she cannot control her fire whatsoever except for a meager spark everynow and then. Right now, it's only controlled by her emotions because during anger or sorrow or happiness, she is at the most focused. Also, she has a little thing called beastality. It's not her main power, it's more like an odd side-piece to her. What happens is that, she goes through extraordinary pain physically and mentally where she feels like needles are sticking into her and she's being crushed, etc...then she goes into an inevitable, blind rage. She has superhuman strength, and heightened senses, like a beast. It's during this time that she has to be locked up in isolation because she will indeed severely harm or kill anyone that merely happens to be in site. No one ever knows when this will happen, not even Phae herself.
