Name:
Sorina Lettiere
Gender:
Female
Species:
Vampire
Age:
Sixteen
Relatives/family:
Dawn Lettiere (sister)
Personality:
How you would describe Sorina all depends on how well you know her. Upon first impression, she’s the exact image of the average teenage girl. She’s pretty and smart and popular, and nice to just about everyone. She’s very friendly and can strike up a conversation with any person that approaches her, laughs at everything. No matter how you look at it she has a very strong personality and is highly stubborn; once she’s locked onto something, she won’t let up until she gets it. And she’s highly sarcastic, able to come up with some barb-edged comment for almost any situation But she can also be the sweetest, most normal person you will ever meet – unless you get on her bad side.
But there’s also an entirely different side to Sorina’s personality, a side that the majority of her many friends never see. She rarely seems to be afraid of anything; she would be the one to spit out a last sarcastic comment right before she was killed. In most people the lack of fear makes them brash, but not Sorina – she’s very smart. She sees the logic in every situation, thinks about everything that ever happens to her calmly and analytically. She rarely, if ever, listens to her heart, instead deciding to protect it. She can be downright fierce at times, and she’s a bad person to have against you.
Appearance:
Sorina seems to be perfect in the looks department too. She has a very petite frame, and is around 5"2, much smaller than most sixteen-year-old girls. What she doesn't typically find need to demonstrate is that her speed makes up for her lack of size and strength; she could outrun anybody in her school, but she never tries to. She's very dainty and most people consider her fragile - the most precious thing, like a glass doll, although what they don't know is that if she's a glass doll, then she's only so on the outside; inside, she's secretly been constructed with iron. She looks like she would crack under ten inches of pressure, but actually she could handle a lot of it before she gave in.
Her hair is a beautiful golden color; when she lets it down, it swirls around her face, catching the sun and glittering slightly, like gold. Generally, Sorina doesn't let it down, however. She finds it a pain to deal with that way, but instead of going through the trouble to cut it she usually throws it back in a ponytail or braid.
The one thing that doesn't contribute to Sorina's fragile front is her eyes. Her eyes are the same color as fresh spring grass, of lilypads in a pond, of new leaves on a tree, reminding everyone of the freshness of spring. But at the same time, it's impossible to notice how they always blaze with cold fire. Really you don't have to look too far past the exterior to see that her soul is iron. What you will never see is how petrified she is, deep in the depths of her heart.
History:
Sorina Lettiere has a reason for being as untouchable as she is - she has a very hard past. She has no memory of her mother at all, only that of her father tellling her that her name was Lilly, and that she had disappeared not two weeks after she had given him Sorina. He told her that when she was very young - lucky she was old enough to remember. That was when he used to have a better control on his temper. Before he became addicted to drinking. As Sorina grew up, she quickly took on her mother's traits; by the time she was six, she looked nothing like her. It was hard on her dad. He drank constantly to drown out the memory of Lilly, but when he drank, he became violent. Usually Sorina could escape once he became too intoxicated; by the time she was ten, she hardly spent any time in the house. One day he did catch her as she was trying to sneak into her room. He threw a broken beer bottle at her, and it sliced open her chest, nearly killing her.
It was a miracle she survived.
She spent two weeks passing in and out of consciousness in a hospital bed. When she woke up for good, the first thing she did was ask for her father. "We're all each other have left," she murmured in a ten-year-old voice slurred by morphine. The nurse gently informed her that after the accident, her dad had shot himself in the head.
When she fully recovered, she was sent from foster home to foster home, finally at age fourteen landing with an adoptive family. They were nice enough and accepted her as one of her own along with their then-twelve-year-old son, David. Sorina quickly fell into the routine of the perfect sixteen-year-old girl, but she hasn't gotten close to anyone ever since, for a simple reason: she can only remember one close relationship, and that was the one with her dad.
After all, she thinks to herself at night sometimes, What if they all end the same way - in grief, tears, terror, heartbreak? With me in a hospital? It's a risk I cannot take...
