Physical Description

/me stands 3 inches shy of 6 feet tall. Her hair is light brown, falling to her mid back and is generally kept pulled back out of her face at the nape of her neck. The elven woman wears little in the way of makeup, going for a more natural look. Her eyes are deep green, dark but crystal clear. Skin is fair, unblemished. She wears a pair of black slacks with a dark purple silk shirt, to offset the paleness of her skin and the darkness of her eyes. Movements are that of a dancer, though she doesn't dance. Graceful and elegant but purposeful.

History --- Laurel was born in 2016, the second child of four. Her brother, Alexander, is two years older then she is, born 2014. Elizabeth followed 2019 and then Nathaniel was born in 2023. She and Nathaniel are both elves, Elizabeth and Alexander are human but Laurel was the only one of the four with any kind of magical talent. School was easy enough for her, she didn't have to deal with the torment she would have gotten had she gone to a public school. Her parents decided that homeschooling was a better choice, given the state of the world at the time. She finished school a full 2 years ahead of schedule because her parents kept her and Alexander at the same level when they figured out that she understood the material quite well. Her magical talent was discovered about a couple of years before she finished school, and with that finding, she chose to go to MIT&M if they would have her. She did well there. Nothing above the norm, but she was a good student, kept to herself more then she socialized with others there. Racial tensions were high and she didn't have the experience of being with someone her own age other then her siblings. Her father worked for Aztechnology. He held a long standing position, perhaps not the highest in the company by anymeans but it's a large corporation and with a job there comes a bit of pull. He helped her get into MIT&M. There she studied computer science, of course, but also conjouring and sorcery. Once she graduated from there, he again helped her by getting her an internship with a council executive. She's just a secretary for the most part, but she's also learning from him as well. The transfer to Seattle was a bit of her idea and a bit of her superiors. She wanted a change of scenery, a place to relax. Alexander pursued a teaching degree and now teaches 6 to 7 year olds at a local school in Denver. Elizabeth is still in college, not having declared a major and Nathaniel has always loved art of all kinds, flim, music, paintings, and buildings. He's leaning towards becoming an architect but is taking time off from school to travel.

FOR REFERENCE: I can only detail where you are now. You?re the personal assistant to a magical council executive for one of the top 3 megacorps in the world ? no small task, especially if you expect to be 20 years old. Your duties in Denver are very much like an ambassador, as much as a magical student. Remember that Denver is the trade hub of the Western world, and a lot of very important corp business is handled there.

Seattle, for you, promises to be somewhat of a welcome and relaxing change of pace from the hectic lifestyle of the Denver Metroplex?

> > > [ NOIR CHARACTER QUESTIONS ] < < <

01) Where were you the day 1 out of every 10 people goblinized (April 30, 2012)? Not born yet

02) How did it affect your life? Made it harder being born an Elf

03) Do you recall the Great Ghost Dance (2017) and the Treaty of Denver (2018)? No, still before my time... I was too young. 04) If so, how did they affect your life? It hasn't in so much as I don't remember it.

05) What affect did the Crash of ?29 have on your life? I was still quite young, 13 years old, it didn't have the affect it would have if I had been older but it was still something to live through and the changes that came about were amazing and scary. It was turmoil though. She had nothing invested but lives of everyone did change. Everything had to be resubmitted, credit rebuilt, lives rebuilt. Her family was in danger of losing their home for a while until everything was sorted out but it still wasn't a happy time. She still remembers it clearly and it could have been a lot worse for her and her family. Some people never recovered. The secession of the south and the joining of the US and Canada was uncharted territory. It was a lot to get used to, and even more to learn.

06) Have you ever been involved in the Euro Wars -- which currently wages on into its 11th year ? and in what capacity? No, I haven't

07) Where were you on February 7, 2039 ? the Night of Rage? I was 23 and was horrified, and terrified when it happened. Something like that could happen anywhere. It's amazing how cruel people can be. I was also devistated at the loss of life. I protested the slaughter, how dare a Metroplex government do something like that to their citizens! They can't help the way they were born, just the same as a turtle can't help that it's a turtle, there was no reason for it, none at all. I was very nearly arrested when the protest was broken up. First they take the lives of metahumans then they tell people they can't even have a voice about it.

08) What repercussions did it have for you? I've had to watch my back a bit closer. It hasn't been easy not being human, people are scared of the unknown, but I've pushed through and made a life for myself despite people's racism but people still look at me with hate in their eyes and I know they're thinking I should have been dealt with during the Night of Rage. I have the same hate for those that would wish me dead, but I don't wish them dead, only more educated. I wish that they knew what it felt like to get the stares, the whispers, the hatred, just for one day. The horrible things that were prostested in years before were happening again, the target was different is all. They'll get theirs, what goes around comes around, they'll face the same atrocity they either put on others themselves or wished they had
