She has olive toned skin with hazel eyes with gold flecks and usually rimmed with dark colored eyeliner.  Her hair is chocolate brown, long and thick. She often likes to pull it back in a ponytail, long braid, or a messy bun depending on her mood.  Makeup she wears generally consists of eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipgloss and/or lipstick.  She tends to favor dark colors for her eyes and lips.<br/><br/>She is a bit of a tomboy. Acacia prefers casual attire and comfortable clothes, like sweatpants or yoga style pants, anything that is loose and comfortable especially on the times of the full moon.  Sweatpants, pajama bottoms, yoga pants are easily replaceable should they get ripped apart during her transformation.  She feels at home in jeans, t-shirts, and sneakers.  Sometimes she will wear boots. It will be on rare occasions she might be seen wearing a dress. She also favors hooded sweatshirts and leather jackets.  She has claw marks on her upper arms, side and back from when she was attacked by a werewolf on her sixteenth birthday.<br/><br/>in my heart of hearts: Acacia or AC as she likes to be called is smart, brilliant even as she had been told if only she applies herself.  She often waits till the last minute to cram for exams or finish an assignment.  AC tends to be sarcastic with a hint of cynicism to hide her emotions and guard her heart. She tries to keep others at arms length, playing things close to the vest because she is afraid if she opens up it will only bring her more pain and loss.<br/><br/>Despite her attempts to keep others at arms length, Acacia is a caring and loyal friend.  Brave to the point she will leap into action to defend those she cares about without regard to her own safety.  If anyone hurts those she cares about will rue the day they did, because she will stop at nothing to avenge them.  She feels guilty for being the sole survivor of what happened to her family.  She feels it is her fault in a way, because she disobeyed her mother instead of going to wash up, she instead snuck out to go play down by the creek.  Acacia feels for being disobedient, she was punished when her parents and family were killed.  She is determined to find the one responsible, to the point its an obsession, any clue she might find renews her mission.<br/><br/>my dark past:  Acacia has a dark traumatic past, where she feels guilty for being the sold survivor of an attack which happened at her family home when she was six years old. The day was supposed to be a fun, happy occasion as it was a family get together.  But, Acacia was a rambunctious child, always on the go, and rarely listend to her parents, always getting into things, climbing things she really shouldn't.  Her mother told her several times to go wash up, and the last itme was done in anger. Instead of obeying her mother, Acacia instead snuck out and went down to the creek to play.  She was there when the attack happened.  If she had remained at the house, she would have been killed along with the rest of her family.  She does not know who the wizard was who attacked, as she mostly repressed certain details.  After the trauma of the event, she was sent to live with her aunt, her mother's estranged sister who raised her as best she could.  Her life from then on was a series of ups and downs.<br/><br/>Sports became her refuge. An outlet to lose herself in, which allowed her to enter college on a scholarship. Upon her sixteenth birthday, she was out with her then boyfriend, when they were attacked by a werewolf.  The boyfriend fled scared, while Acacia was bitten and clawed.  From then on, Acacia decided it was better to put up walls to try to keep people out as she felt they would only let her down in the end.  She deals with her condition with a series of potions and charms to keep the wolf at bay.  Two of the classes she excels at are Defense Against the Dark Arts and Potions.  She is a skilled duellist as she practices for several hours on end to perfect her reaction time. Her mission is to find the wizard who killed her family, and seek the vengeance she craves.
