AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM


User Image


Name: Nona Peril
Nicknames: Noni, Nono, etc.
Gender: Female
Age: She is very fresh, as ghosts go. Appearancewise she looks between fifteen and nineteen--very hard to pin down.

Faction: Ghost
Race: Lady in White
Natural Ability: Blink


User ImagePersonality:

    Serious Business: Nona almost never laughs, unless it's one of those deliberate toothy ones that you can't help but feel are at your expense. She is the embodiment of resting bitchface, and meets most jokes with a cool, blank stare or a polite smile. It's hard to pry up the edges of this, and most people who do are just going to find that what's underneath is... well, more of the same. It's not really an act.

    Spiderweb: Nona likes to be in the know. While she's generally safe to keep a secret if explicitly asked, if she has a weakness it's that she'll trade it for a juicier one with very few scruples. As for her own, those she keeps very close to her chest. Information that she acquires independently is currency, and she'll dispense it as she sees fit.

    Heartbreaker: Oh, honey. Don't, not with this one. You'll regret it. If she lets you get far enough, her entire intention was to make you regret it.

    Pragmatic: Emotion very rarely gets in the way of Nona's actions, unless it's fueled by a need for vengeance (a need that can at times be frighteningly arbitrary). She's a cool head in a panicky situation and an organized mind that approaches things systematically and efficiently. In the rare instance that she's given to affection, she'll either turn it towards breaking hearts or towards roping in minions or--because she is pragmatic enough to assess her own value, as well--in to being a minion herself, if she feels the cause is good, by Nona's definition of good.

    Collector: Not so much of things--although she is a sucker for certain types of trinkets and even she is not sure why--but of people. Despite her lack of deep attachments Nona is fond of entertainment, and those who fulfill this need will be kept as close as she can keep them, and she will dutifully pay up her friendship dues to ensure that the network remains intact, motivated less by love than by a sense of responsibility and practicality.

    Performer: In normal situations Nona does not crave the spotlight, but in performances--talent shows, plays, whatever the world has to offer--she seems to blossom under the pressure of an audience, exhibiting some of her only truly sincere pleasure. She is a dancer and a contortionist, with a minor gift for sleight-of-hand and a significant one for impressions.

    Wannabe Beatnik: Nona would also argue that she's a great poet. She is, at least, a poet.


Ambitious: Nona manifested with an immediate and intense desire to climb the social ladder--but it's something she refuses to do on any terms but her own. She's a little bit counterculture and likely to become even more so as she is further immersed in the world of Amityville, adamantly clinging to her sense of aesthetics and style and trying to make a name for herself as an unconventional trendsetter, whether she succeeds or not.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? Nona is very confused about what's going on, but you'd have to kill her all over again to get her to admit it. She's pursuing her education under the guise of accruing a social network and lots of gossip.

FEAR Ability: Manifest (uses The Chill): A series of gaping wounds appears across Nona's skin, resembling deep and vicious claw or teeth marks. And then they seal up, instantly, and her FEAR's just a little less depleted.

Physical Description:

Eye Colour: An ever-shifting kaleidoscope of rainbow confetti over a chameleonic, holographic background that moves from red to green and back again. Mostly just look kinda purple, though.
Hair Colour/Style: Thin and white with microbangs.
Skin Colour: Very very white, with a pronounced pink undertone.
Clothing Style/Colours: Generally prefers more traditional "clown" attire in shades of white, but also quite fond of pastels and will wear more modern clothes more often as she integrates with the student body, with a style tending towards cute and very feminine. I see your note that creepy is better and I choose to ignore it.
Extra: Nothing to speak of. I think. I need to ask some things. Her nose is always red.

Is she a hard worker? In school? At her job? Does she keep her room clean?

When it comes to making friends and acquaintances, is she likely to be the one making the first move? Or to wait? Or purposely bait the other person into the first move?

1. Yes. I stole a line from Discworld in chat and compared her to a swan: she's all icy dignity on the surface but underneath there's a hell of a lot of action. She's very self-motivated and will gladly to do her own dirty work if there's no one she can trust to do it for her (which of course there won't be, at least not for a while). Working hard can undermine your image as a self-possessed empress but it can also underLINE it, depending on how you wield it.

Her room is kinda messy but in a like... artistic clutter sort of way.

2. She takes initiative. I imagine one of her first goals on enrollment would be to find a demon with a good family to ingratiate herself with. It's also worth noting that she'd be practical about the best ways to court said demon into a friendship and she'd realize that demons love people who owe them things, so she'd probably even put herself at an initial but very small disadvantage if she felt like it would reap rewards later. Not like... CONTRACT levels of disadvantage, but you owe me a drink levels.
