Subject:</strong>Art (she's awful, but she loves trying)<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Makalya was recommended to Sanktuario in the wake of her being found Not Guilty of murdering her foster mother by means of self defense.  Few details of the case are publicly known; she was and is still a minor, after all.  Those people who do know her name from the news know that her acquittal was probably legitimate, though she absolutely did kill someone, and in the right circumstances might do it again.  What's not known is where exactly her almost monstrous physical strength originated, and how she maintains it without any apparent effort.  Between the first issue stirring fear, resentment, and wariness from her classmates and other would-be foster parents, and the second issue making her almost impossible to control by the authorities, when the state requested her transfer to the Sanktuario boarding school, it was a bit of relief from all parties involved that she would be somewhere that could handle her.<br/><br/>Makalya doesn't let this get her down.  She plays off her specialness, and seems to be largely oblivious to the fact that Sanktuario is a case of first and last resort for those who need particular training and restraint.  As far as she's concerned, Transylvania is a breath of fresh air, and even if she can't speak the language she's sure she's someplace safe where she doesn't have to watch her back.  If she doesn't do well in school -- well, school's hard!  This is a special academy for smart people!  And she was never much for school anyway, so she isn't worried.  At school, this attitude has earned her a deserved reputation as a slacker, but one who responds extremely dangerously to teasing; more socially-aggressive students have used her as a catspaw in their own machinations, but Sanktuario's staff has kept things from escalating to where Makayla would be more than severely reprimanded as a result of the actions she herself takes.<br/><br/><strong>Sheet:</strong>https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=2126238
