Arabella

Arabella Giordanno
Nicknames: Arabella is often called or Bella.
Age: 14
Voice: Arabella has a thick Italian accent, due to the fact that she is Italian. She speaks quite clearly, and could be easily understood, if you can get
past her thick accent.
Power(s): Arabella has the ability to see in pitch black areas, and she can see quite clearly. She can even read in the dark. Arabella can also turn lights on and off with the lick of her hand. Normally a bolt of electricity will be seen zapping the light bulbs into power while she does this. After Arabella uses these powers, she gets the chills and grows very jumpy. The slightest things will startle her, and the after- affects will stay there and wane off throughout the next hour until they finally go away.

Physical Appearance: Arabella is the average height for her age, but she is quite thin, due to the fact that she has been wandering the streets since she was twelve years old. Arabella is 5’2 and weighs 85 pounds. She has delicate high cheekbones and has large, dark, brown eyes with long black eyelashes that show light in them when she feels excited or happy, or fierceness and ferocity when she feels angry, endangered, or protective. Her hair is dark brown and curly, with beautiful locks streaming down her shoulders and down to the middle of her back. She has a side bang on the left side of her forehead. Arabella has olive-colored skin, because of her Italian heritage. She has small pink lips that will normally shout rude comments in her fear. She is actually quite attractive.
Clothing: Arabella has only two pairs of skinny jeans that are a little too long for her (they go down to her feet, and almost to the ground), and a long brown skirt that she wears occasionally. Her pants are worn and slightly muddy, but her skit is in pretty decent condition because she doesn’t wear very often, and it just sits at the bottom of her small beige bag that she carries on her shoulder. She has one brown tank top and a brown sweater that covers her shoulder with it and a plain long-sleeved black shirt. She also has a cotton white sweater to keep her warm at night. All of these shirts are worn and slightly muddy, but are in decent enough condition, and not too raggedy. She has a pair of black boots, and a pair of worn down muddy sneakers.

Personality: Arabella is very defensive and always feels the need to protect herself, probably because somebody had killed her parents in the attempt to get to her (see in history). Arabella had a sweet nature as a child, and used to be very trusting, but ever since she has been on the streets, she will not trust anyone until she knows him or her very well, and only trust will bring out her sweet side. Arabella is very intelligent, because she came from a well-educated middle class family, who valued her education and had her go to excellent schools. Arabella is also very sneaky, which she had learned to be when she had steal everything she needed to survive on the streets. Arabella is quite mean when she first meets someone, but once somebody takes the time to get to know her, Arabella is a kind, understanding person. Arabella only acts fearful because she is afraid the person who killed her parents is out to get her, so she thinks anybody could be somebody trying to kill her, making her very cautious.
Likes: Arabella loves the snow, and always used to play in it as a child. Unfortunately, she doesn’t enjoy as much as she used to, because snowy nights meant cold nights for her, but she still can be found gazing at the snow admiringly.
Arabella also enjoys the company of animals and feels relaxed around them.
Dislikes: Food-wise, Arabella is not very picky, as she is always grateful to eat almost any kind of food. However, she will not eat spicy foods as they make her sick.
Arabella hates it when people tell her what to do, because she likes to follow her own beat of the drum. She does not get along with people who are fakey, and she did not tend to hang out with the popular crowd when she went to school, before her parents were killed.

Family: Arabella lived with three other members of her family. This included her maternal grandmother, Demetria Conti, her mother, Sofia, and her father, Azelio. Arabella also had an outdoor calico cat, Aza, who would follow her around (she still follows Arabella around, and keeps her company). Arabella was extremely close to her grandmother, and grew very upset when she died. Arabella and her grandmother would share stories with each other, while Demetria was sick in bed. When Demetria was strong enough to get out of bed for day, she would tend to her garden with Arabella. Arabella’s father, Azelio, was very strict around Arabella but he loved her very much, and saw his high expectations as a benefit for her. Arabella also loved to spend time cooking with her mother, and they would spend hours in the kitchen, just talking. Arabella’s father was a store clerk, while Arabella’s mother was a baker. Of course, Demetria stayed at home with her granddaughter.

History: As a young child, Arabella lived in Rome, Italy. When she was seven years old, her grandmother who lived in Scotland grew ill and Arabella’s family wanted to be with the sickly woman. Arabella moved to the country side in Scotland where Arabella’s grandmother lived.
Arabella then received the rest of her education in Scotland in a well-respected school. Unfortunately, twos years after Arabella moved to Scotland, Arabella’s grandmother died of pneumonia. Arabella’s family was devastated, and even thought about moving back to Italy, but they wanted Arabella to finish her education in Scotland.
Arabella soon learned that she had special powers when she was 10 years old, but for her safety, she wanted to keep her special powers a secret. Her parents never learned that she had these powers, but one person did, when he saw Arabella flick a light of a light post on, when Arabella thought no one was watching. The person who knew of Arabella’s powers spied on her, until when Arabella was about 12 years old, he grew fearful of Arabella’s powers and tried to get to her. Arabella had snuck outside to play one night, while the man broke into Arabella’s house and demanded Arabella’s parents to know where she was. Arabella’s parents were too shocked to even muster the strength to say a word, so they ended up getting killed. Arabella came back to find her parents dead, so she fearfully ran away, being pursued by the man who killed her parents until she reached Greave, where she lived on the streets ever since she became an orphan. Arabella did not like the idea of going to an orphanage, so she did not turn herself into the orphanage. From then on, Arabella had to become a thief to survive.
Thoughts on current predicament: Arabella will be very angry with being kidnapped, and will probably try to bring harm to her kidnappers. She will start trying to escape right away, and she will focus for months on escaping and it will probably take a while before Arabella will stop trying to escape.

Other: Arabella has a gold locket fastened around her neck as she was willed to have it in her grandmother’s will. Aza, her calico cat, also follows her around.

Watcher: A random 5’9 Scottish boy by the name of Alasdair has red hair and a dash of freckles that go across his cheek, up the bridge of his nose, and towards his other cheek. He is 15 years old and is very curious about everything, with his bright blue eyes scanning the area curiously.
