<div align="center">(http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk113/VampireWytch/Actress%20and%20Actor%20Icons/13-2.png)<br/><strong>Mariana Gaunt</strong><br/><em>Unknown</em></div><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;"><br/>Mariana saw Christian come in and gave him a small smile in greeting before turning her attention back to the head Sparrow and waiting for her explanation. The redhead Unknown grimaced at the talk of "sacrifices," but knew that she'd have to feed. Sighing, she figured she'd have to wait and see what kind of visitor Julie-Anna would deem suitable for her, although she'd rather have none. Once again, she cursed her creator for forcing this awful unlife on her against her will.<br/><br/>Looking around at the other's assembled, she knew that they didn't mind killing and maiming. Humans were cattle to most of them, and they could care less for the value of mortal life or relationships. Mariana was different, although she was sure they looked at her as weak for that...when she was anything but. When the woman was done, Mariana answered audibly.<br/><br/>"I guess not."<br/><br/>Her tone wasn't happy, but she knew there was little she could do. Leaning back in her chair, she waited for the meeting to adjourn so she could retreat to be by herself.<br/></span><br/><br/>
