Name: Avina Emalia Vascagneli Birthday: December 30th, 12002 PAAC (Born on New Moon) Star Sign: Capricorn Age: 23 years old

Parents: Father - Marcus Valerius (Deceased) (Roman) Mother - Camelia Vascagneli (Greek)

Status: Rebel leader (since the age of 18 and Rebel Leader in training from 13-17); Former devoted believer of the Holy Trinity (Father of War, Sister of Beauty, and Brother of Death)

Height: 5 feet and 6 inches

Description: Avina has dark, almost black, hair with lightly colored yet haunted looking eyes, evidence of her trauma. Her eyes can be described as very expressive, despite her attempts to keep her emotions caved inside of her heart. She has a very defined facial structure, which applies often to her jawline, nose, and cheekbones. She has a slender yet strong physical appearance, evidence of her past as one that works often. Her appearance may appear ethereally androgynous, which may shift often depending on her mood and gravity of the situation she may find herself in. Avina has a rather husky voice, which may be described as occasionally monotonous. This can be taken as a note that she is emotionless, which many people, mainly those under her, believe that she is. She does care, even if her voice does not portray that.

Personality: Avina Vascagneli is ambitious, a workaholic, judgmental, cold, and resilient. Being a rebel leader had hardened her over the years, ever since she became one after the avenging of her father's death. Despite her cold and rather distant attitude, she would kill for anyone that she cares about. She is known to be a tough leader, rarely ever vulnerable in the sight of anyone, including her mother and close friends. She is also incredibly loyal and impulsive, despite being a surprisingly disciplined leader to the rebels of Serenia.

Backstory: Born on a new moon, Avina was destined to be a rule breaker. The odd one out. After the death of her father, who had a dual-citizenship between Serenia and Veletium and died boldly for Serenia, who did not care to honor his brave sacrifice, Avina rebelled. She could no longer be devoted to the Holy Trinity, as her mother was..She quickly broke away from religion and sought out the rebels, begging them to take her in and help her stir up a rebellion against Archon Elias. They agreed, knowing that her father was well respected amongst all, and allowed her to take up the mantle of temporary leader for the rebellion at the age of 13 years old. During the chaos of it all, she happened to save a young girl whose name she never caught. Noticing the girl's fear, she cut off the rebellion, not noticing that she left her bandana behind as she lead the rebels back home and becoming a leader in training over night. Once her mother had found out, their relationship quickly broke into pieces. Avina and her mother's relationship is incredibly strained. Avina still loves her and attempts to help her, or even get other rebels to care and check on her mother, but it often tends to fall short due to Camelia's hatred for rebels, blaming them for a majority of the corruption in Serenia and, by extension, the death of her husband.

Quirks / Habits:

• Curses the Holy Trinity, believing that they let her father die; Only believes in the Mother (seldom)
• Is ready for any battle, always keeping a blade or weapon of some kind nearby
• Can gauge when someone is lying to her
• Her eyes scan every environment that she finds herself in
• Refuses to acknowledge the name of Serenia, finding it disgraceful and disappointing
• Due to her connection to the (new moon), she rarely ever sleep. During new moons, she does not sleep at all.
• Can speak Greek and Italian; Usually chooses English
• Wears predominantly masculine clothing (Pants, boots, shirts, jackets, and rarely anything feminine. Feels like femininity contributes to the unjust patriarchy of the world)
