Description
Name: Ephera (eh-fear-ah)
Nickname: None (yet)

Birthday: 04/07/XXXX
Age: 63
Height: 5'8"
Gender: Female
Race: Vampire
Faction: Starlight
Languages: English, French
Favorite Types: Dark, Poison, Psychic
Birthplace: Unknown
-Due to being a vampire Ephera could never stay in one place for too long. Once her presence was known it was only a matter of time till a hunting party came for her. Due to this she's never really settled down and had a place to call home. It has allowed her however to visit many regions.

Personality:
Independant
- After leaving the home of her adopted father she has only had herself to rely on. This has made her very self sufficient and able to act freely on her own. She doesn't need anyone to tell her what to do or how to get something done and has no issues with taking matters into her own hands. This can however lead to some issues if needed to work in a team.
Appreciative
-While she may not say it up front due to her skeptical nature she is very thankful when given something. If it is an item she will treasure it and if it is a gesture of kindness she will silenty thank them. This can be seen if you catch her on her own as she will likely be staring at said object and smiling to herself, blissfully unaware. If she does notice though she will quickly become defensive. If you help her and need something later on and suddenly have it with no clue where it came from it was likely the work of Ephera.
Adventurous
- Whether from want or necessity Ephera has explored quite a lot in her years. Even though she is hoping to finally be able to settle down she still likes to explore new areas. Being a vampire this includes areas that would be very dangerous for most other people and has to be reminded that just because she can go somewhere doesn't mean others can and she should still be cautious.
Untrusting
- A life of fleeing from hunters has led to her being very skeptical of those around her. While they may seem nice on the surface she doesn't trust easily and is always waiting for someone to turn on her. This leads to her being very reserved and distant when interacting with someone as well as quick quips if someone says something she thinks should be obvious. She doesn't mean to be rude but when anyone can become an enemy at the flip of a dime you have to protect yourself.

Bio:
Ephera doesn't remember much from her time before becoming a vampire. When she was a small child she had escaped from the house in the middle of the night wanting to explore as all mischievous children want to do. She had gotten away with it before but tonight was different. As she wandered through the forests of her nearby home the young girl had been testing fate walking the edge to a steep drop further down into the forest. Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot, one in front of the other as if on a tightrope. Suddenly for reasons unknown the winds started to pick up, slow at first but gaining speed. The Hoothoot and Noctowl took off from the trees as a pack of Poochyena and a Mightyena dashed through the foliage followed by a large shadow. Scared for their lives the dark types didn't see the girl as they ran past. Startled by the pack the small child stumbled and lost her balance. As she fell Ephera screamed until she hit the first branch which knocked the wind out of her. The sound of rustling leaves and the impact of her body was the only noise left until she finally hit the bottom. Lying crumpled, battered, and broken there was no hope left for the girl as she lie unconscious and dying. Even if someone had been there, had seen her, they would have never made it to her in time, and even if they could she would be long dead before making it to the hospital. However fate as it were had other plans. Hearing the screams of the small girl the shadow had stopped chasing the pack. Turning back the figure looked over the edge of the drop before descending down silently after the voice it had heard. The figure landed at the bottom without a sound and as it looked around it found the crumpled body of the young girl. Taking pity on the child who's life was coming to an end he picked up the girl and bit into her neck. While the girl would never be able to live as a human again her life could continue on as a vampire instead. Taking the girl in as a daughter the vampire gave her the name Ephera and raised her as his own. Now a vampire herself the young girl healed quickly but was having trouble adjusting to her new situation. She wanted to go back, to see her real parents. She didn't want to drink blood and the vampire had to give her rare meat just to get her to eat anything. Eventually she came to accept her current situation and learned to hunt and what to avoid as a new vampire.

Many years passed and once a young adult she finally left the safety of the vampire's home to make it on her own. Now free to make her own decisions and against the vampire's warnings she returned to see her old home one last time. Wandering the once familiar land she found at the back of the house a headstone she did not remember seeing as a kid. Kneeling down she brushed the dirt off the face of the cool stone. Her fingers traced over the words and numbers as she mouthed them to herself silently and tears came to her eyes. The gravestone belonged to none other then herself. She couldn't tell what she had expected when she had seen it. But before she could rise she heard a voice start to yell. Looking over her shoulder a man stood beside her with a gun pointed at her, shouting about trying to defile the grave of his daughter. Ephera's eyes widened in fear as she fell backwards and crawled away slightly from the man. "I-it's not what it looks like!" she tried to explain. Despite all the years that had passed and the age the man had gained she could never forget that voice, the voice of her father. But the man didn't want to hear it as he continued to yell and threaten her life. And that's when Ephera saw her mom as well hiding behind her father. The older couple no longer recognized her, no longer recognized their daughter. With tears in her eyes the young vampire stood up and fled from the house, the house she had once called home, and the people she had once called family. From that day forward she vowed to never return and fled from her homeland, travelling through various countries and continents. Life was hard for her and trying to make it wasn't easy. She learned the hard way that vampires weren't welcome in the world of the living. Every time she finally thought she had a home it was only a matter of time till rumors spread and she was found out. Many a time she narrowly dodged a hunting party, sometimes unscathed, sometimes worse for wear. But she managed to survive each encounter. She had been most fortunate in Kalos where she was able to spend a few years before inevitably having to flee once more. During this time she had picked up on their native language and now, setting out once more, has found her way into the lands of Calm Lake where she hopes might be her last.

Trivia:
- Is fluent in both English and French due to her time spent in Kalos.
- Can change her body to look younger or older at will. Do not judge her age based on looks.
- Contrary to popular belief sunlight won't kill her.
- However she does sunburn horribly so if she HAS to be out during the day she wears a large hat and cloak to protect herself from the sun.
- Is mostly active at night but doesn't really have a "set time" when she is awake.
- Can't stand the smell of garlic and is deathly allergic to it.
- Does not have a reflection. As such if she is getting dressed up for something she will constantly ask someone how she looks to make sure she looks good.
- While she has drank human blood before it's not her preferred taste. She would much rather have that of a pokemon or other animal.
- If she asks for a Bloody Mary cocktail she means "bloody".
- While she is hesitant to reveal her true nature, seeing other supernatural entities and humans coexisting in this land gives her hope that maybe she has finally found a place she will be accepted.
- Maybe one day she will be open with her species but for now she will hide it as best she can.
- The bottle around her neck is actually filled with a bit of blood for emergency situations if she can't feed at will.
- She does change and clean this out frequently if she doesn't consume it.
- After all who wants stale blood.
- If she were to become close to someone and was hungry. She would refuse to bite them even if they offered. But if they were to say prick their finger to give her a small bit to tide her over till she can get a proper meal she would sit there and gently suck on their finger being very careful to avoid catching them with a fang. All the while blushing slightly cause embarrassed that she had to be fed.
