Full Name:
Tatiana Xantho Nightingale
Nickname:
Lyric: Since faeries typically do not give out their actual names, Tatiana goes by Lyric and only that. As far as everyone knows that is her actual name(unless they know faerie lore). Faeries do not give out their real names because it gives others "power" over them. They look at their names like sacred artifacts. If someone were to know Lyric's full, actual name they could summon her anywhere at any time. Hence the reason she gives her name to no one. However, after the first one hundred years of knowing Emmanuel..She finally told him her actual name, just incase he ever needed her, and she wasn't with him(which is rare). Besides herself, he's the only one that knows it.
Though he knows her real name, Emmanuel does have multiple nicknames for Lyric. One is "Mutt," he calls her that just to tease her for being a hybrid. Another is dear, which she finds odd, always thinking of the animal. Sweetie is another one, and he has a couple others, most being affectionate. After awhile, she came up with nicknames/pet names for him. She likes them, and loves giving them..
Age :
She stopped counting years and years and years ago. She is ageless.
Gender:
Female
Role:
An Extra(Emmanuel's Closest Friend); Nina Dobrev
Appearance:
Lyric has three different "forms:" her Human Glamour, her Actual State-of-Being, and finally her Wolf Form. Wearing her human glamour Lyric stands at the measely height of 5'5". She takes the form of a petite, light-boned woman with creamy colored skin, lightly tanned. Though she is not what you would call "tall," the little height she does have is made in her long, smooth legs. Those legs lead to sturdy thighs, having dainty hands and feet. Though Lyric's figure in her human glamour is not "curvacious," she does a gentle curves in places needed. Her hair color is that of dark chocolate and falls in natural, loose curls to the lower part of her back (looking black when it is wet). However, sometimes she has the notion to straighten her hair and does so using practical magic. Lyric's facial features in this form are soft, giving off false innocence. Her jawline is smoothly defined, nose rounded like a button. Having almond-shaped eyes almost as black as night, it's hard to tell they're actually deep brown. You have to be extremely close to even realize they aren't the color of a raven's feather. Those eyes are surround by thick, long black eyelashes that cast shadows upon her high cheekbones when she blinks. Lyric's voice is light, soft, and musical abling her to sweet-talk her way out of practically any situation. Due to her faerie hertiage it is even said that her voice is hypnotic. Her teeth are straight and white as well. As for clothes..She loves the human attire. However, she dresses more for comfort. Jeans, skinny jeans, tee shirts, long-sleeved tees. Whatever she feels like. However, she's been known to dress up on occasion.
In her Actual State Lyric has many noticable changes. First, she "shrinks" to the height of 5'2", losing three whole inches. Her skin takes on a light purple-ish hue to it mingling with peach in color. Through-out her hair are many blue, purple, and green-ish tints. Along her skin appear a lot of vine-like and water tattoos, only gently visable. A swirly type tattoo coming from her right eye. Lyric's eyes change rather dramatically themselves. Moving from their dark color they take on in her glamour they swirl, turning a liquid silver. However, through out those liquid silver eyes are blue and green specks, a golden hue around her pupils. Those pupils change as well, turning into a cat-like slits. Though, unlike most faeries Lyric does not have wings. The werewolf blood she received from her father canceled that out. Her ears take on a slight point, like an elf's, and her canines become pointed at the tips.
Lyric's wolf form is a bit different than an actual, full-blooded werewolf's. Her wolf form isn't nearly as big. Where regular werewolves have wolf forms the size of full-grown horses, her's is the size of a mere pony. This is due to the fact that her faerie blood is a lot stronger than the werewolf blood coursing through her veins. In her wolf form she is petite and slim, her pelt is a light, chocolate-y brown color, and her eyes are silver(like in her actual state). However, her wolf doesn't seem to be completely "there." It takes on a misty state, like she's "ghost-like." But! She is solid, able to attack in that form, like all the others. She is fast, but not as strong as most werewolves.
Personality:
Like practically all faeries, Lyric has a very..Different personality. She's highly intelligent and picks up on things relevantly fast, though she likes to let on that she doesn't. She loves getting information from people and hates not knowing things, not knowing the outcome of something. Lyric is naturally wary when first meeting someone, always calculating and watching them. She doesn't trust easily, yet gets attached fast. Once she likes someone she just does. Saying she's possessive is a bit much, but she is slightly the jealous type. It's a faerie thing. She does not appreciate other's trying to take the ones she cares about away from her. Okay, maybe possessive is a word you could use to describe her, but not obsessively so. For a long time Lyric was alone, now having a "family" makes her clingy, to say the most. She does lose interest in objects and people fast, though. To those she likes and "cares about" she is rather sweet and nice, almost shy(bashful) around those people. She doesn't like to let them down, and hates being scolded. However, there are not many people Lyric really likes or trusts for that matter. Emmanuel is one of those people she likes though, and truly trusts. She's known him practically all his life, after all, always seen with him. Surprisingly he is one thing she hasn't lost interest in.
Also around those that she likes Lyric is a complete tease. She loves to joke around and make others laugh, and smile. Fiesty is another word to describe her. She loves playing fighting and wrestling with those she's comfortable with, that being a werewolf quirk of her's. She adores play wrestling, especially when it is with Emmanuel.
Lyric is indeed a physical person. It's not that she tries to be, but she just is. She's seen touching people constantly, talking to them or not. May it be for comfort to them or her own personal amusement. She does like being amused. Around people she does not like Lyric is sarcastic and blunt, always being "witty." She can be harsh and say hurtful things, only if she does not like you that is. She doesn't like many people.
Another quirk about Lyric is that she's fairly emotional for a faerie. She can cry at the drop of a hat(being hurt easily), get excited in random bursts of energy, or extremely angry in the blink of an eye. Something like a storm coming your way..
Species:
Lyric is a Hybrid of two different species. A Faerie(of the Naiad type, though some speculate her mother was both a Naiad and Dryad) and a Werewolf. Her mother a fey, father a werewolf. She does not remember her parents(only their species, naturally) nor ever being born. She has strength greater than a humans', yet not greater than a full-blooded werewolfs'. Though, her speed might excell greater than a werewolfs', it being much better than any humans'. With her werewolf blood Lyric can also shift into a slim, chocolate colored wolf. However, her Faerie nature is quite a bit stronger than her wolfish one. She has a lot of fey traits. Like a faerie, she can hide her natural state with a glamour that makes her look human. Also, she cannot lie..At all it seems. But, she can twist words that are true to trick people terribly. Like a werewolf Lyric can heal quicker than your average human, but not that fast. If the wound is deep enough she can bleed out. Iron does affect her as well, like a fey. If it pierces her skin anywhere it could possibly kill her, at the least make her sick and as weak as water for awhile.
Another trait Lyric has picked up over her many many years of living is "teleporting." Most faeries can pick up on it eventually. She can teleport to any person(as long as she knows them) and any place(as long as she's seen it in person or a picture). But, unlike many fey Lyric doesn't have wings, however, in place of wings she can levitate. Also, being a Naiad, she can manipulate water, though it does take a toll on her after awhile.

Fears:
X STORMS:: Lyric loves the rain and lightening intrigues her, but Storms absolutely scare her to death, and send her cowering. The sounds..Are awful, in her opinion. Every time she knows it's going to storm, she stays the night in Emmanuel's room with him. If she's waken by a storm.. She goes straight to Emmanuel. It's been that way for decades now! X
X Losing Someone She Cares About:: It's been a fear of her's every since she met Emmanuel, especially since he formed the pack(though she knew him way before he done so). X
X Iron:: Twice in her life time she's been stabbed with iron. The side effects were awful, and kept her down for days sick, puking, dizy, and weak. X
History:
Lyric has always been alive, or at least, that's what she believes. She doesn't remember a childhood or parents, only where she is now. That being said, she has also forgotten a lot of her past. She loses interest in things easily, forgets them quickly, and never looks back. She met Emmanuel Cross when he was a young man, nineteen years old. She came across him, and he perked her interest, like many things do. At first she thought nothing of him, but after following him around for awhile, and getting to know him..She grew attached. Ever since he has been her closest friend, and she his(or so he tells her). She does have strong feelings for him, though she is not very accustom to human emotions..Yet tries, being around them for so long. They traveled together for a long time, then he formed the pack. She looks at them like family. Lyric is always with Emmanuel, wherever it may be. She stays with him a lot. She's only truly comfortable with him, though adores most of the pack members. Vague..Sorry!!
Theme Song(s):
Looking :3
Other:
Recently(a couple months ago) Lyric had a little disaster with magic. The incident damaged her vocal cords, and has left her mute for the time being. She cannot talk. Though, a week ago she found she could hoarsely whisper for a few moments before it made her throat start to hurt. She has been looking for a "cure," knowing this "no talking" thing is not permanent. Another faerie ability of her's is that once she makes a connection with someone she can talk to them telepathically. This is how she commincates with Emmanuel for now, and a couple other pack members.
Italian Food, no doubt! xP
