She stands at 5'6''. Image here (http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/ad179/sprinkletinkle/FuneraillesIntegralFavole.jpg).<br><strong>personality traits:</strong> Claudia is a contemplative woman with a very long memory and the ability to hold a grudge like you wouldn't believe. It is possibly Claudia's clinging to social decorum that keeps her from being the ardent, loud, and vocal Latina that seems to be inherent in most females of Latin persuasion. She possesses a deep passion for reading and will often be seen sitting at the base of an old oak tree in the front of her family's home, reading a battered old tome. <br><br>Her thoughtfulness allows her to put a little bit more consideration into her words, though that doesn't make her ill-equipped for a disagreement. She has the potential to be an intellectual creature, though her family's traditional background has prevented her from obtaining much beyond necessary schooling. The closest she does get to higher education is when she obtains a newer book from the city of Boston on the rare trips that get made there.<br><br>Claudia likes owls and owls seem to like Claudia. She technically has two of them, though she wouldn't claim ownership of them if anyone asked and they are not kept in cages. In addition, the owls are supposedly named, but she assures any interested party that their names are sacred and only to be shared with those who the owls wish to share their names with. This might seem strange and quirky, but Claudia <em>is</em> a Del Munoz after all.<br><br><strong>history:</strong> Born in November of 1812, Claudia began her life in Salem as the daughter of the matriarch of the Del Munoz family. She was raised amongst their quirky ways and strange instances of death, and therefore never saw anything wrong with it. Her first interactions with any of the families on the street in her neighborhood were best described as awkward and strange. Children of normal families were put off by the bizarre stillness of the homestead and because dozens of ghost stories surround the family, Claudia spent much of her childhood being accused of being a ghost when she wasn't one. While this might seem sad to some, Claudia didn't mind because "normal" children were obnoxious anyways. She often enjoyed frightening them by leaping out from behind one of the tall verdant, manicured bushes that surrounded the home.<br><br>Claudia's family and the Todd's get along the least. For this reason, Claudia didn't meet her first Todd family member until one eventful day when she was a young teen. At the time, she still attended school at the school house and often walked past the ghostly abode on her way home. She initially noticed the boy glaring at her from behind the trunk of a tree. She was sure to glare back, even though she didn't know him. For weeks this went on almost daily, until finally she threw a rock at his face. While the rock passed through the boy without harming him, the exchange escalated into a shouting match, where upon she finally saw why her family and his did not get along. Plain old jealousy. Jealousy that she was alive, that she could go to school, and that they were not and could not.<br><br>After that, Claudia ignored the boy every day until her 20th year. Oh, he had nothing to do with her demise, he was just the last person she saw as the life officially ebbed from her body. She had been finished with school for three years by then but still occasionally took walks with some of the other members of her family. On one particular day, Claudia was out for a walk alone. She was crossing the street towards her house, when a panicked horse drawn carriage turned the corner and trampled her beneath its hooves and wheels. There were no real hospitals nor were the doctor's around at that time capable of dealing with this sort of trauma. In a nut shell, she was done fore. But as she lay on the street, her body broken and her heart thumping its last beats, that same young man walked out onto the street and gazed at her as she was enfolded in blackness. The next thing she remembered was sitting up in the living room of her house, candles burning all around and everyone dressed in black. It was her Wake.<br><br><strong>additional relevant info:</strong> Nothing yet.<br><br></span>

				<strong>username:</strong> phoenyx<br><strong>character name:</strong> Finlay McGrath (http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/d6/480225_466352953386090_1661803900_n.jpg)<br><strong>age:</strong> 19<br><strong>gender:</strong> Female<br><strong>appearance:</strong> Fin is about 5’4’ and around 119 pounds. Her eyes are really purple, not contacts, and they really are cat slitted. She tends to wear a light purple lipstick, and she has a tattoo under her left eye that almost brings to mind the Eye of Horus, but is more a collection of dots and swirls. She has a similar tattoo across her forehead just above her eyes, but an intricately made diadem with a rose in its center usually hides most of it, leaving just enough to peek out underneath.<br><br><strong>personality traits:</strong> Fin, as her family tends to call her, is a rather quiet and reserved girl.&nbsp; Her best friend and confidant is her cat, Kerr, who also has matching purple eyes. Even though her whole family Practices, Fin is a bit of a Solitary. She will stand in for the Maiden in Circle when the Family does Rituals and Sabbaths since she is the youngest female in the Family currently old enough to do so. But usually any other spell castings, anything to do with plants, and other things Magick she does on her own.<br><br>Fin has a strong understanding and affinity for plants, so she is more often found roaming the woods with Kerr around Salem than in town.&nbsp; In fact, if she should be found in town, it’ll probably be at the local Nursery ordering some plant she can’t find out in the wild. She is in charge of the Family garden which hosts both vegetables for the table as well as many herbs and exotic plants of varying uses. When she is home, she will usually be found there.<br><br><strong>history:</strong> Born at 1005 Essex Street, she was named Finlay McGrath. She grew up in the house with a childhood far from normal. She was tutored by a Great Aunt in all things the town wished their young to know to survive in the big world of course, but she also grew up in a Family of Witches. So, while she was given a rudimentary education, for which she did remarkably well at, her primary education was in Witchcraft. <br><br>Alongside Math she learned how to measure and mix ingredients for potions, Reading and Writing was useful for recipes and spell books and making her own and taking notes. Science, her favorite subject, went hand in hand in experimenting and creating new potions and spells. Physical Education, another favorite, sidled up to traveling the woods around Salem and trips to the local Nursery to learn how to identify various plants and animals. History played hand-in-hand with her own Family history and the history of Witchcraft. Economics made sure that she knew how to maintain the Family Fortune, and even to help increase it. Foreign language kept the Gaelic tongue alive and well, and was helpful for spell casting and Rituals. Though a dual education, it was a well-rounded and useful one.<br><br>The cats that reside with the McGrath family are a strange breed that has been with the family for generations. For every McGrath born, a litter is produced, and&nbsp; one cat in the litter will have the same eye colour as the child(ren) born. Thus Fin’s cat familiar, Kerr was born the same time she was, and has been her constant companion. He will live as long as she does, barring any accidents or out and out murder. Ever ask a McGrath about their cat, and they will tell you it is like having a twin of yourself in four footed, furry form.<br><br>Fin took to Herbology at about the age of six, and has been the family’s Primary Gardener and Herb/Plant Supplier since the age of twelve, when the Elder finally passed away. She begrudgingly tolerates other members of the family the use of the Gardens and Greenhouses who show an interest in such. At sixteen she made a special dye/ink from plants and got an Uncle to help permanently embed it into her skin in a delicate design on her forehead and under her eyes. <br><br>While Fin is more than aware of the dislike of the other two strange families on the street, having grown up with it, she really pays it no particular mind. In fact, she really has no opinion on them. She has never met a member of either family as far as she is aware of, and she’s usually too wrapped up in her Plant Lore to pay much attention if she has. Neither are a plant or tree, so they are of no significance to her.<br><br><strong>additional relevant info:</strong> Her skill and knowledge with plants are well known around Salem. Those truly desperate to heal a sick loved one, or kill a rival, have been known to brave the strangeness surrounding her family and come to her seeking help. They usually try to seek her out though when she is away from the house, since her habits are well known.

When alive, she'd try to be a social butterfly but it always backfired. So she took up the wonderful art of introvertism. She once had a pet cat but left the dear after she'd died. In death she's even less trusting. She's constantly wary of her surroundings and the people near her. <br>If she ever lets you into her secret circle, it's a big leap. She will warm up to you once you're in it. She'll show you her rather dark colors. You'll learn that she despises the sun and she loves dead roses more than anything. Her favorite color is white, only because black the the absence of color. Then you realize that when she talks about Orange, she's referring to the cat she once owned.<br>When it comes to the other two families, she tends to stay silent. She believes that hate is a strong word and when it comes to them, she's tight-lipped. She'll admit to only extreme dislike of the others. As to the others of Salem, she can be fairly distant and doesn't know much about them.<br><strong>history:</strong> She wasn't much in her childhood. She obeyed her elders and rarely played with the children her own age. She grew up to be a rather simple young lady. Always, she did what she was told and never questioned anyone. Upon reaching 16 she attempted to be seen. She went to parties and socialized to the best of her ability, but no one seemed to take an interest.<br>The poor young lady grew up to be a lonely young adult. Her mother let her stay in the house but wasn't pleased at all. She had adopted a beautiful stray tabby and named it Orange. Typically she stayed with Orange in her studies. She wrote and sobbed most days. Until one trip to the market ended her life. <br>A petty thief with a knife robbed her of money and life. He sliced her up from her thigh to the middle of her chest, grabbed her money purse, then left her gasping and bleeding to death. For a time she stayed with Orange, until her cat died. Then over the years more of her family died and "came back". Then they moved to Salem.<br><strong>additional relevant info:</strong> She's never known love.<br><br></span>

Weights around 125 <br><strong>personality traits:</strong> Emily was a very sweet girl&nbsp; in life. She was taught to always respect her elders and others around her. She is generous and giving. Not a mean bone in her body. She always has a smile on her face and tends not to be a malicious ghost. Sure she likes to play pranks, but she not vicious or cruel. She's more of an invisible savior of sorts. If she sees danger outside, she'll push the mortal out of the way to save their life.<br>&nbsp;She doesn't much like the other families since she thinks ghosts are the superior of the lot. She doesn't really mingle with them, unless she has to. She does miss the finer things like eating a driving her sports car. Still, she's never bored and goes around usually helping out the best she can.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><strong>history:</strong>Emily had a good life. She never wanted for anything, but she still had to earn everything she had. It taught her respect and the value of life. She knew that it was important to respect her elders, everyone around her thought Emily was just the nicest child. Kind and sweet, she was always helping out when she could. <br>In school she was an average student. She got a long with almost everyone, but there were exceptions. Emily was bullied by the popular kids. They called her a freak and a goody two shoes. Often times she would come home in tears from high school. Still, she never changed her personality for anyone. She remained as sweet and kind as ever up until graduation. It was then that her parents gave her the opportunity for her own car. She had her heart set on a corvette. Emily worked part time the entire summer after graduation to help pay for the car. By the time fall came around, her parents and she had come up with enough money to purchase one for her. <br>The car was a dream come true. Emily drove it all over the place. Sadly she was only able to enjoy the car for about a year. That was when the accident happened. She was coming home from a new job late at night. A car was swerving, coming toward her. Emily tried to swerve herself and get out of the way. Sadly, she didn't and was hit head on by a drunk driver, and lost her life. It was hard at first to accept she was a ghost, but slowly got used to it. Even though she had lost her life, Emily to this day still remains as sweet as ever.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><strong>additional relevant info</strong>:She's a virgin dies never knowing the touch of a man.<br></span></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>
