<div class="floatleft">(http://0.tqn.com/d/movies/1/0/-/Z/Y/haywire-gina-carano7.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Maricza Zupan (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=169361.msg7955939#msg7955939)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>The Woods<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>All combatants.<br/><hr/><br/>The appearance of the werewolf on the scene seemed to provide Maricza a reprieve. The Slayer had obviously made enough of a decision about her that she was still alive. Small favors, the vampire supposed as the werewolf shifted back into human form. Now that was curious indeed that she had such control over her transformation. Maricza had heard of such ability before, but was indeed curious to know whether this Werewolf girl possessed an artifact or simply sheer force of will to enable the on cue changes.<br/><br/>For now she simply observed until one of the youths made the same observation she'd just been pondering. He was smart, and that could be a boon to the slayer. Another of the male youths seemed quite adept at hand to hand combat. He too would be a valuable asset to the slayer provided she didn't just disappear into the night. It was likely enough that she would be overwhelmed by the amount of things gathered in one place (as if by fate) that proved unfathomable. Sure enough, there was another who voiced this overwhelmed mindset.<br/><br/>Maricza responded to his question. "Of course they're real. Lucky for you there is a girl that keeps the dark things in the night at bay. What she does in the dark, keeps you safely in the light. I am one of those dark things as well. But in me, unlike any other vampire I know, shines the light of a soul." She explained further, mostly for Scarlett's benefit. "Certain magics known to my clan gave my soul back to me. So I do my part as well. Like the slayer I would keep those in the light safe from my soulless brethren."
