details;;
Physical Appearance:
As well as a bunch of scars through out her body.

Personality: To say the least, Verna is cunning. She is smart, quick, and tricky. An actress in the theatre of life. After all, you'll have to be to get away with things she does... (another reason why she often times playes off as a dumb blonde...Watch your back, my dear.... You never know what's lurkign in the dark...)

From early childhood Verna was a free spirited and indipendent individual. She loved being out of the house doing something or going someplace. Her parents always worried about her, trying to figure out why their daughter likes to keep too many secrets, but alas, or perhaps for the better, they never found out. She loves the dark because she thinks that it gives her the freedom that the light does not. Her thinking in terms of morals, limitations, proper etiquet, and rules is... to say the least twisted. In her mind, rules exist only to be broken or to be played around. The gray zone and loopholes as she calls them. Despite her nature and love for mischief, Verna is a pretty kindharted person. Yes, she does love sarcasm a bit too much and can be at times rather mean, harsh, or agressive, over all she will not harm anyone unless provoked to do so... Pranks, pickpocketing, and such are not revenge. They are simply amusement. Besides, THEY won't miss it...

Strengths: As mentioned in her personality, Verna is cunning. She is smart and knows when to get out of the situation before it goes down hill. She is also very agile, flexible, and a master of stealth. She is wonderfull in gimnastic too. Not to mention her skills in fighting, climbing, weilding a weapon, planing, and coming up with master scheemes. Verna's no saint, so lying is her domain. Like those who pray to the Goddess that she portrays, Verna can become invisible, silent, and unnotiiced when ever she pleases. Skills of a true thief, blend with the surroundings and slip out unnoticed annd undetected.

Weaknesses: Unfortunately, there are times when she gets caught in her own webs of lies. She may be cunnning and smart, but she is to a degree voulnerable too, especially if someone figures out her game. She can at times become tired or overwhellmed easily, especially if she stayed up all night doing God only knows what. She's not that skilled at close range fighting.

times gone by;;
Origin: Turin, Italy
History:
(Sorry, I suck at these)
Verna was born in Turin, Itally to a high class family. Her parents having met eachother years prior at a ball in Venice. They have both come from respectable famiilies that went back generations. Sometimes Verna likes to joke about it, calling her parents Romeo and Juliet. The parents of the young couple were not too thrilled of the romance that was blosoming between the two. They did everything to break up the couple... alas, the love only grew, and eventually the two got married.

They had two children. Isabella and Verna. Isabella though, oldere then Verna by a mare year, seemed to be the polar opposisite of her sister. With all the places that the young couple took the children, alll the attention, and all the love, the character traits could not be more obvious. Isabella, proper, lady like, know-it-alll, while her sister lose, rule bending, and cunning. The parents how ever couldl not marvel more at their babies. They traveled the world, sent the daughters to private schools, and had a life many could only dream of.

Soon... Verna's power became evident... and the connections far too obvious. To say the least the parents were... startled... lucklly the answer found them, and Verna soon ended up in this academy. Causing mischivee with in the walls of the school now rather then the wonderefull grounds of the rest of the worlld...




additions;;
Relation to Myth: Like those that worship the deity, Verna herself does not mind the games. She doesn't mind stealing for the sake of the adrenalin. She is generous to those who are loyal to her, and wicked to those who are not. Her powers also connect with Laverna for they are qualities that good theif must posess if he wishes to come out alive.

Roleplay Example: Verna glanced around her. They had to be kiding her. Yes, she has done stunts before... but this... this was just cruel and unusial punishment, if you ask her! So, she stole the Principle's pasport, cane, and a few other personal belongings, but so what? Couldn't they see the good natured humor behind it? It was a JOKE! A Simple JOKE! But no... they had to condem her to detention. They had no right!

Ok, so maybe they did... but still! Reading a lecture, binding her phasing power, and then practically locking her down in some dungeon with out escape, all while insisting that this was marely an unused classroom, and that she'll be fine in there! NO! A thousand times NO! They have gone too far! Growling something under her breath, Verna looked around. This was a solid room... Not even a window... But, it's ok... Doesn't matter... She could still become invisible... After some brainstorming, Verna created and illusion of herself that has fainted, while the real became invisible standing by the door.

Minutes ticked by... she was getting anoyed, but, soon she heard footsteps down the hall. Good. They noticed... The footsteps passed. They have got to be kidding her. Ah, but no.... they churned around...Good, good... Pause, SCORE! They bought the illusion. Russing off to get help right now... The young woman smirked. This was too easy...

The person, some teacher, and some other teacher rushed in stupidly leaving the door open. Using such wonderfull oprotunity, Verna slipped out, and headed down the hall, cautiously looking both ways making sure that there was no one. She should have locked the door, but that would have gave her away in an instant... too bad. She sneaked back up stairs, and into the cafeteria. Dinner was just begining. Perfect. She sneaked over, and sat down next to her friend, becoming visible as she did so too... scaring the living daylights out of the girl.
"What are you doing here?" The friend hissed harshly looking at the inocent smiling woman.
"Me? Nothing... just having dinner!"
