MENTAL;;

Personality:
Harlyn is an individual. She does what she wants and she ignores other people's opinions of her. Harlyn is one of the most stubborn people you'll ever meet and once her mind is set on something, that's the direction she goes in. When she gets in an argument, Harlyn is rarely one who backs down. Harlyn is one of those "leap-then-look" people. She's reckless and impulsive and she rarely thinks about the consequences of things until after she does something. Under her tough exterior though, is a real sweetheart. She loves to help people out whenever she can, but she prefers to do it anonymously. She is also one of the first people to go out of her way to include someone in a conversation. Harlyn is extremely trusting of people and always tries to see the good in them, even when they're complete jerks.

Likes:

• dusk/twilight
  
• extra's polar ice gum
  
• the color lime green
  
• lemonade
  
• trying different hairstyles
  

Dislikes:

• meat (she's a vegetarian...slightly surprising)
  
• her screwed up family relationship
  
• blending in
  
• vampires (ironic, right?)
  
• when people are intentionally nasty to others
  

Hobbies:

• photography
  
• playing her guitar
  
• singing
  
• writing music
  

Secrets:

When Harlyn was about 10 years old, she was drawn to a raw piece of meat her mother had left on the counter to thaw. She saw blood dripping from it and couldn't help it; she started eating it. Her mother came in and saw her and was absolutely disgusted. That was when Harlyn became a vegetarian and began to hate vampires with a burning passion.

But, much to Harlyn's dismay...there's this one vampire that goes to Albright Academy with her. She's pretty sure he has no idea that she exists and she has fully convinced herself that she hates him. But there's something about him, and she can't ignore it.

Abilities:

• meeting new people/outgoing
  
• standing up for herself
  

Inabilities:

• listening to others
  
• making good choices
  

Fears:
A random fear? Harlyn is scared to death of fish eyes. Harlyn is also deathly afraid of her biological father and she's afraid that he's going to come back. For this reason, she's extremely afraid of being in dark places (especially alone) because she thinks she might meet him there. (<---More in history)

Quirks:
Harlyn hates cocky people who are full of themselves. It's one thing to be confident and it's another to think that you're better than everyone else. She also hates when people have headphones in and she's trying to talk to them. As far as her own quirks, when Harlyn is excited or happy or hyper, she can't sit still. Literally. There's no possible way for her to sit still. She's up and moving around, mouth going a mile a minute.

PAST;;

History:
So where to start? Maybe with her mother’s past; that seems like a good beginning. When Melissa (Harlyn’s mom) was 17, she and some of her friends had gotten into a club with fake IDs. Her friend had promised that she wouldn’t drink so they all had a reliable ride home. However, all of them got absolutely smashed and they were all over these older and extremely handsome guys. Since none of them wanted to call their parents for rides and none of them were safe to drive, they all decided to walk home. Melissa was cutting through a dark alley when she was beaten and raped. She thought it was just a typical human until she felt two sharp points of pain in her neck. The vampire drained her within an inch of her life (although Melissa is pretty sure that he thought she was dead) and left her in the alley.

Nine months later, Melissa had a beautiful baby girl. However, she wasn’t like normal babies. Harlyn rarely cried, even when she fell. She had broken her arm once and didn’t even shed a tear. Also, Baby Harlyn had always had an intense and intelligent stare, something most babies didn’t have. Melissa was always unsettled by her baby and uncomfortable to be around her. She always tried to ignore her or put herself in situations where she could be away from her baby. People always said it was because Harlyn reminded her too much of her rapist.

The real reason though, is because Melissa is afraid of what Harlyn is, her nature. She’s always felt reserved, like she couldn’t love her daughter because of the monster she was. Or at least, part monster. And Harlyn knew this. She grew up independently from her mother, always spending time by herself or her few close friends. One thing Harlyn knows though, is that she absolutely hates vampires. She hates them for what they did to her mother.

Harlyn believes she ran into her father once. She had been in a crowd and normally wouldn’t have noticed him, but as soon as she locked eyes with him, she felt like an electric shock went through her body, freezing her in place. Harlyn’s pretty sure he felt it too, because he stared back at her. He even started walking towards her, but Harlyn’s friend grabbed her arm and broke the trance. When she looked back, he was gone. Harlyn hasn’t told anyone, but she’s thoroughly convinced that the guy was angry. Harlyn came to Albright Academy to hide and to get away from her mother.
