Andrew has always been a fit and well built boy, but has always strayed closer to the lean side. His mother would always state that he possessed the kindest smile she had ever seen in her life, and he always held that comment dear. Other than that, Andrew has always thought he wasn't much to look at. His hair a coppery-red, which he almost always keeps tousled in a lazy up do , is complemented by his warm chocolatey brown eyes and a strong jaw line. Luckily, he has never had to deal with blemished skin or any imperfections, and his fair skin is rather healthy, he blames it on good genes. Andrew isn't one to continually work out but he manages to stay in a consistent lean shape, and a broad-shouldered form. Even though dashing looks seem to get him a bit of attention from those who don't know him, he isn't one to fuss or fret over his appearance. He's too focused on the tasks at hand to even appreciate most comments.

S T Y L E
Andrew wouldn't ever consider himself to be any certain style. If anything it would be that of a lazy teenage boy. He prefers athletic brands such as Nike and Adidas, often finding himself wearing their apparel. He just doesn't take the time in the morning to meticulously pick out an outfit, and normally just throws on whatever is this most convenient. However, for certain occasions he keeps a section of nice clothes that he keeps in case of a 'fashion' emergency, but he really doesn't even know what that means.

P E R S O N A L I T Y

Andrew is a very kind, honest and caring person, especially when pertaining to his friends and family. His suffering derives from merely having to stand by and watch his friends and family suffer with their various problems while knowing that there is nothing he can do to ease their pain. He hates feeling helpless when it comes to situations involving the people that he loves.

Andrew is a guy who wears his emotions on his sleeve, as the people closest to him can see how sensitive he becomes about different topics at hand. However, this in no way diminishes his masculinity as Andy has had a large problem with controlling his anger. He can easily become disgruntled and angry when things don't go his way, and it's never been something that he's proud of.

Deep down, Andrew has always been a softie at heart, almost like a giant teddy bear. He is always quick to help others in the time of need, and can't resist a good laugh, with many dimples that accompany his smile. Which is something he hides quite often, or at least something he tries to not make a big deal out of (showing weakness has never been something he's liked).

One thing about Andrew is how fiercely loyal he is to his family and friends, which is where the majority of his problems come from. As he is constantly torn between the conflicting views of his family and friends. Though he is indeed a loyal individual, Andrew unfortunately has a very low self-esteem, leading him to make bad, self-destructive decisions or him being easily manipulated and tempted. He has a habit of placing others before himself quite frequently, and nearly all his worries are about the people he loves.

Andy's personality often comes off as almost flirtatious to some but it's just his kind-hearted nature of complimenting and swagger that can charm the pants off of most. He hasn't really met anyone that is uncomfortable in his presence, seeing as how he exudes an air of confidence and positive energy that most people gladly feed off of. It was something he learned from his mother, but has developed it almost more so. However, his combined traits of confidence and charm can make him come off as somewhat vain and entitled in some situations.

Andrew absolutely loves peanut butter, when he was small he used to eat it by the spoonful out of the jar until his mother caught him. He has also acquired the taste for coffee and normally has to have at least 2 or more cups of coffee that morning for him to have a good day. Andrew can simply say he enjoys being alone a lot of the time, it helps him think. He also loves music although he cant sing himself, listening to others is almost a relaxing thing for him. He loves dark chocolate, and the setting of a a rainy day while reading a book. He often takes morning jogs through the town, and enjoys rocky road ice cream as a treat afterward. He has also almost definitely been a dog lover, but doesn't mind a couple kittens here and there.


He cannot stand the thought of liars, he finds it impossible that people can craft such damaging words on their tongue. Andrew isn't a fan of people who boast (even though he's all to guilty of it himself. Andy has never liked the thought of a bully, tater tots, or the sight of blood. He once scraped his knee during a track meet and passed out on the spot.

S T R E N G T H S | W E A K N E S S E S

+ Andrew is selfless, he'll do anything to protect those he cares about and will lay anything down to protect them. He'll run into the middle of chaos just to save someone's life. He is also honest and a great listener. He doesn't mind when people ramble on about their problems to him, considering he thinks being able to talk it out is the best form of medicine. Andrew is just a genuine friend. While he can be a little judgmental and hesitant at first due to differences, once he sees the good in someone he will be by their side. Some say brave, some say stupid. Either way, Andy doesn't back away from a situation. He is scared of many things, but his curiosity and selflessness always prevails over it.

- Andrew can sometimes become a very aggressive individual, although he is a softie there is something about intense anger for him that he can't possibly control. Andy has always been quite insecure with almost everything, but he hides it well. He has almost always been in the shadow of his older brother, Markus, so he has become quite unsure in his own abilities and accomplishments. He has always had an internal struggle to prove himself to his father, and this sometimes leads him into reckless decisions, and actions. Considering Andrew is an athletic semi-heartthrob he has a little bit of an ego. He can be a little selfish and self-indulged sometimes but it only takes a snarky comment to kick him off of his high horse. Although most of the time he is unyielding to any negative comments about his character, he often takes it to heart. His self-worth is tied up in others and he can easily be beaten down by other's comments. He has always been overly sensitive, ever since he was a child.

F E A R S
More than anything Andrew is terrified of his father, the man is truly scary and has tormented Andy for the latter half of his life. Even scarier to Andrew is the idea that he could someday come the man he has learned to cower from, but yet he still seeks his approval. Naturally Andrew is terrified of the sight of blood, it makes him sick to his stomach and he also hates spiders. As for supernaturals the fear is rather low, but there's something about werewolves that just creeps him out.

Although he is technically a first year, he will be in his fourth schooling year at the Academy.

"I'm - trying to keep an open mind, but it's hard. Even if I accepted them with open arms, I still wouldn't belong. Not to mention if I befriended any of them and my father found out, he'd string me up and kill me on the spot".

While his father instilled a negative image of supernaturals into him his mother did quite the opposite. While he is torn between the two views he leans ultimately more towards his mother's. Deep down, he's a genuine heart and he could truly never have the capacity for hatred that his own father does. Still, it should be noted that the horrendous tales his father has told him still make him rather weary and cautious of the academy's students.

H I S T O R Y

Andrew Joseph Collier was born to Maura and Jacob Collier on a particularly warm spring afternoon in Bristol, England. Growing up, he lived that of a normal childhood, he was involved in sports and many activities within his elementary and middle school years. Andrew was very close to his parents as he grew up, however, the constant approval he sought from his father was blocked by that of his older brother Markus. Jacob Collier was a burly man, who believed in strength and action unlike his passive and gentle wife, Maura. So when he had two strapping sons to teach he couldn't have been prouder. Unfortunately for Andrew though, he was instantly identified as the softer, more emotionally inclined son unlike Markus who was a true brute force of strength. While that brought Andrew closer to his mother, the hole that his father's disapproval left in his heart was still there.

He had an array of friends as a child, and was highly social. A curious and adventurous child, he had his fair share of getting in trouble. He did well in school, but nothing too note worthy. Although he wasn't academically gifted, he was athletically. Andrew excelled at track in his teen years, climbing his way to achieve and break many of the towns records. It was the one part of his life that he felt truly happy with, and every time he ran it was almost a relief from the cluttered activities of the town.

When he was fifteen his father killed a man. Or "thing" as Jacob said. He drug it through the back yard all the way up to the porch, with an image that will forever be seared into Andrew's brain. It was a man, no younger than twenty but no older than twenty-five. Still bleeding, from a bullet wound directly from his heart. But this was no ordinary man. His eyes glowed an ominous yellow, and his face was contorted in a way that not only belonged to a man but a wolf as well. A mutt his father told him. A werewolf his mother informed. Apparently, it he had been the perpetrator behind the death of their sheep. It was a lot of information for his fifteen year old mind to process, that how a man could turn into a wolf. It was the stuff of fairytales. However, this horrific event eventually paved the way to a relationship with his father, even if it was nothing like he wanted. Jacob taught him the extensive of the supernatural lore, but even Andrew could tell he was heavily biased. Against them. Jacob taught Andrew how to kill them, to protect himself from them. But killing had never been on Andrew's agenda in his life, even if they were unnatural abominations like his father said. Apparently, Andrew's family came from a long line of people who killed supernaturals, that, that they were actually paid for it.

Andrew most definitely would've been corrupted by his father's words if it weren't for his mother. She unknowingly went behind her husband's back to tell whimsical and genuine stories of fae, vampires, witches, ect. plastering the good image inside her sons head. "They're just like us Andy, but just a little different you see?"

Thorn Hill. Just thinking about it makes his palms sweaty. His father had caught wind of the town of supernaturals in Thorn Hill, and without even a moments hesitation up and moved the family to Scotland. The idea that he could infiltrate a town of monsters was all too enticing for the man, and at the news of acceptance of humans into their academy he was giddy. Unfortunately for Jacob it didn't go as planned. While he tried to enlist Markus into the school, they refused due to him being too old but would gladly accept Andrew. Andy didn't really have a choice, as his father pushed him into enrolling for all the wrong reasons, just after uprooting him from his life in Bristol that he so desperately missed.

The thumping sound of music lightly shook the grounds of Thorn Hill Academy, as for once the town wasn't quiet at night. The once empty lot of land around the back of the academy was now filled with a flurry of students, supernatural and human alike. There were booths set up with various carnival games, "Dunk the Mermaid", and "Pin the Tail on the Minotaur", as well as food and drinks (accommodative for every species). Some of the professors, and even the headmaster, Korir, were in attendance although they inhabited the outskirts of the field. It was truly a sight to see, wings, horns, fangs, and tails out and proud. Once again, Thorn Hill pridefully showing that it has always been and will always be a safe place for supernaturals. Or so it thought.

Parties were the perfect kind of euphoria for a fairy. Oleander practically fed off the energy emanating from the other students, and it fueled his veins with a wonderful rush of energy. When the idea was first proposed to do a little student carnival and dance to help better integrate the human students, Ollie was all on board. He was on of the split few, who were actually excited about the humans. The school was pretty much 50/50 at this point.

His first stop was one of the carnival booths that his friend, KD, a fellow fae was running. "Hey stranger"
Ollie said placing an arm on the table of the booth resting his cheek against it. "Ollie. Thank god. I can't tell you how boring it is watching them throw darts at balloons. I don't understand why the professors thought this was a good idea, this game is only challenging to... humans". Ollie simply rolled his eyes with a small chuckle, "Well maybe if you'd actually pay attention in demonology you wouldn't have to run this for extra credit". KD groaned pinching the bridge of his nose, "only three more hours". "Have fun for me, will ya?" KD said shoving Ollie playfully in the shoulder, "let me have satisfaction that at least one of us is having fun". Oleander pushed himself off the table and winked at the fae, "Do you really have to tell me to have fun?" With that he began to walk away towards the other games leaving KD shaking his head. "Not too much fun!".

EVONA DRAKANOV

Evona Drakanov loved parties. Especially supernatural parties. You could count on all of the species, mashed together to create a damn good time. Of course, the idea of adding humans into the mix was slightly questionable, but deep down she couldn't wait to meet them. None of her classes had enrolled a human yet, much to her dismay she quite enjoyed the living things.

Evona found herself comfortable within the writhing mass of sweaty students near the front of the dance circle, probably doing the things their parent's have nightmares about. Which is something to say considering they were the stuff of nightmares. Even with her small stature it's not hard to notice the wild vamp bopping along amiss the crowd. From her elegant, yet risqué dancing to just the sheer, magnetic vibe that all vampires gave off. It's certainly a strange sight.

After a while of dancing she couldn't help but feel a bit lonely. Normally she was surrounded by her friends, but Eve had gotten to the little bash quite early, and hadn't seen anyone she knew fairly well yet. Where was her mermaid when she needed her. The task of leaving the dance circle is a lot harder than it looks, but it wasn't too much of a problem for her. "Excuse me! Out of my way please, thank you"
. She got a few annoyed glances here and there but nothing that a little flash of fangs wouldn't dispel.

She made her way over to the food and drink area, her eyes scanning the various containers with labels that seemed to come straight from a halloween party. A small laugh erupted from her as she imagined the poor humans trying to navigate this assortment of treats. Reaching for a cup, she filled it halfway with the dark red liquid from the container labeled AB Positive. Taking a small sip, her muscles instantly relaxed and she felt much sharper, her eyes scanning the crowd for any familiar faces as she lazily leaned back up against the table.

The thumping music coming from the makeshift carnival would've been enough to send Levi in the other direction any other day. He despised events like these, large groups of people mingling and doing idiotic activities in all. If it wasn't for a certain vampire, he wouldn't have been caught attending. Evona would talk his ear off about the activities and then complain that he didn't come the next day. He came for only that reason and prayed to whatever entity that some of the bothersome humans would come near him.

Levi used his speed to move through the crowd, not wanting to have to touch anyone around. Thankfully, snacks and drinks were provided, along with his favorite: O+. He filled the red solo cup to the brim before chugging half of it. 'Better to be full before the mortals show up.' He thought. Levi noticed a younger student, not human (maybe a witch), and she stared at him with fear in her eyes. It took a second for his fangs to elongate and his eyes to turn ruby red. Levi hissed at her and she scurried away, a look of horror clear on her face. Levi laughed to himself as he changed back to normal.

With a turn of his head, he noticed his favorite, debatable, vampire nearby. Evona was alone which was odd for the normally outgoing girl. Levi wasn't sure if he was in the right space to deal her antics, but catching her now was best. No doubt she'd be surrounded by people later and he wasn't going to fight a crowd to get to her. He did notice his fishy... friends? not too far away, but decided to go ahead and check in with the older vampire. He filled up his cup before speeding next to her, appearing very suddenly. "I'm here. I hope you're happy." Levi said with little emotion. He nodded to Sage and Elijah, noting they noticed his arrival.

Events like these were typically Lorelai's favorite thing. She loved school carnivals, finding it to be a great way to spend time with friends and meet new people. Currently, she's wondering around looking for a familiar or friendly face. She was supposed to meet up with some of her fellow humans and they would go as a group, safety in numbers you know. Lorelai loved people, but it was, still, difficult for her to wrap her head around supernatural creatures being people. They were, but they also were not. It was too complicated for her so she ignored the thought in favor of looking around.

Plenty of fun carnival games were going on around her with a twist. The Bobbing for Apples booth looked like fun until she saw a vampire catch it by the fangs. 'Not looking so good now.' She decided, moving away from the game.

The whole being alone thing was not working anymore. She hadn't caught sight of Andy or Auggie, who she probably should've walked over with. Lorelai noticed Annabelle and she was with one of the witches at school, Priscilla if she remembers right. She was in no way mean, but some kind of competition was established between them. She seemed to like attention as much as Lorelai herself. Not that she would be opposed to being near them, but Henry and Milo?, something with an M, were nearby too. Henry was one of the more easy going with the supernaturals and Milo seemed nice, shy but Lorelai can work with that. Lorelai puts on her megawatt smile, head high and walked confidently over to the pair. "Care if I join you?" Not like they could get rid of her either.

Andy was nervous to say the very least. Sure he had been attending the Academy for at least a week but this was the first real opportunity he had to interact with the supernaturals on his own accord. Although he never truly had an issue when it came to getting along with others, he knew that the supernaturals probably wouldn't place him in good light if they knew anything about his father. Which is why he tried incredibly hard to keep anyone from figuring that out. His father had been in constant contact with him every since Andrew started, asking him a multitude of questions that made Andrew increasingly suspicious of his father's intentions. Which is why he tried incredibly hard to be as vague as possible when it came to answering them.

'What's the school like? Classes? How many types of Supernaturals are there? Is there any-"

'I don't know dad! I don't know, it's just different ok? I gotta go.'

His eyes briefly scanned the crowd, and instantly lit up when he saw the back of Lorelai making her way over to Henry - and someone else? He didn't recognize the other boy. But if Henry seemed comfortable around him then Andy trusted whoever it was. He strode up behind Lorelai placing a gentle hand on her shoulder, his eyes meeting Henry's in a rather charming smile. He was definitely trying to mask his nerves. "Hey guys - I hope I haven't missed anything too interesting" His glaze flicked over to the food table briefly. "Anyone gotta feeling that they're trying to confuse us on purpose? I mean I really can't tell if I'm going to bit into a mini hotdog or and actual finger" He shivered slightly at the gross thought.

His eyes then landed on the other boy, the one that he didn't recognize. However, at a closer glance the boy's dark, gentle eyes seemed all too familiar. "Do- do I know you?"
