Celia Swift

If outsiders were to judge the prestigious Warren High upon the appearance of Celia Swift, mothers would be flocking the phones, desperately recalling their children from the school (particularly their sons).

Dragging a bulky suitcase at her heels, the arrogant madam barged through groups of students, leaving a trail of disgruntled looks behind her. She wore the uniform like a second skin, with the standard uniform wrapped around her body, finished off with a snug school cardigan, and black thigh high socks giving her a sexually devious look. Celia was made to look delicious with or without clothing though, she was Siren.

Being at Warren High was the last place Celia expected to be this time last year, she had nothing against further education but for quite some time she'd been travelling. Drifting through the fingers of admirer after admirer like smoke. Her mother finally caught up with her a few months back, and now she was here.

Shielding her eyes from the sunny day with some black sunglasses, she went straight to reception as her school booklet had instructed to pick up her timetables and room number. There was a queue, something she disregarded as all the other students smelt of weaker species, she even thought she got a whiff of oestrogen but dismissed it.

An elf girl at the front opened her mouth to protest but quietened down when Celia's glamour shimmered for a slither of a second to reveal her bright, predatory eyes. The warning bell shot off shortly after she collected her papers. Traipsing to the assembly hall a teacher directed most of the students to, she collapsed into a chair in the middle and rolled her eyes at an Incubus who flashed a dirty smile in her direction from a row in front.

The head mistress, Vogue, was absolutely awful. Celia wasn't sure what she was, but it made the tiny hairs on the back of her neck stand on end when she let out a shriek. It was safe to say she was a predator of predators. Celia was prepared to only half listen to the welcoming speech, but to her surprise the first thing to come out of the head mistresses mouth was about a human project. At first she thought it was a joke, of course there had been rumours but, that's all they were supposed to be...rumours?

She left the hall after the speech, which carried on for quite some time after the revelation and made her way towards her room. It was a bustle and she could of sworn someone groped her bottom on the way up the stairs. Having humans at the school was an unexpected turn of events, one her mother would seethe about when she eventually found out. The smell of human seemed hopelessly obvious now she was trapped in a mixed crowd. She only hoped for their sakes that they weren't wondering around after dark.

It was no secret all kinds of things came out in the dark.

Winter Lavine

Over the far side of the school yard, a girl stood bent over awkwardly, dragging her long silvery hair into a scruffy bun. On the way to the school she had taken it upon herself to research the modern school scene and apparently a messy bun was very " chic".

Once she'd finished she picked up her duffel bag again and hurried to reception to retrieve her papers. Warren high was a magnificent school, certainly not as beautiful as her home but still lovely all the same. The air teemed with knowledge and she eagerly drank it in.
Standing in line she patiently waited, eying every single person within range with interest. She reached the front and began to say her name when a girl, roughly the same height barged in front.

Winter opened her mouth to protest but the girl's glamour shimmered to reveal the unmistakable eyes of a Siren. Winnie shivered automatically and pursed her lips. Her first day wasn't the day to start picking fights. She'd never met a siren before and her first impression was to steer clear.

After she grabbed her papers, a bell rang out. She gave the queue behind her an apologetic smile before heading toward an assembly hall as a teacher gestured the way.

Nothing said in the assembly surprised her, she'd done her research but was thrilled to hear she was right. Studying alongside such a wide range of species including humans was a real treat.
