"If life is as multicolored as the rainbow, then what's as multicolored as a box of crayons?"
Personality:
Lanuya is a pleasant, proper girl. Born and raised in a wealthy French family who taught her manors and made her into the "perfect child" she is. She's a very intelligent girl too with straight A's in all her classes, thought of fondly by both her peers and teachers. Lanuya is very quiet though, hardly speaking unless spoken to or if she has something important to say. Not a very athletic person but still very trim and sweet.
She can often be found reading a book or doing homework/extra credit work. Otherwise she'll be in her room playing the violin, cello, harp, piano or flute. And if she's not playing an instrument she's more than likely on the outskirts of the forest, working in her garden. Her two kittens, Velvet and Sugar, were her almost-constant companions before they perished.
Though she masks it very well, Lanuya suffers from extreme loneliness and isolates herself when the problem becomes apparent. The fact she can hear and sense other's thoughts and emotions terrifies her, as she doesnāt wish to know about all the things humanity has ever done. Of course, she keeps that fear bottled up inside and does her best to keep herself convinced that they are grand gifts. Lanuya only confides her inner thoughts and feelings in her kittens, but keeps a mask in the face of everyone else, acting completely fine. Now that they have died, she has been keeping her problems to herself.

History:
Lanuya was born into a wealthy French family. Her mother and father owned a luxurious hotel that was very successful. She grew up being friendly, polite, proper and pleasant like a good girl ought to be. The hotel was a place of events where parties, fundraisers and concerts were often held. From the moment Lanuya heard music, she wished to play an instrument and has so far learned five. Often sheāll play for fundraisers or complementary entertainment purposes. In school Lanuya is a prized student and has received many awards and scholarships. Also she enjoys gardening and keeps her own separate garden on the roof alongside her parentās prized plants.
But behind the mask of the perfect life, Lanuya has been hiding a great many secrets. She does not truly know when her powers first developed. All she knows is she has had them since she can remember. Being able to read peopleās thoughts without trying proved to be abnormal, so Lanuya had to put a muzzle on herself and filter through her words carefully. This caused her to grow up quickly, and have a need to find other things to occupy her time so her mind would not wander to her secrets. Fearful that she would disappoint her parents, she kept her powers a secret and tried to live a normal life (more or less).
There had only once ever been a problem and that happened when Lanuya was 13 years old. An elderly man was staying at the hotel for a short time. He was particularly unpleasant and rude to Lanuya, apparently choosing her to pick on and berate. Though she tried her best to compose herself, Lanuya couldnāt handle the torment on top of the secret she was keeping. She began to feel a pocket of energy forming in her mind like a throbbing, hot headache that wouldnāt go away. She tried to ignore it but it got worse and worse until finally, the man said something particularly nasty and Lanuya lost it.
She began to cry softly on the outside and the knot of power shattered. She felt almost like a wave of built up energy go flying directly at the man and she felt his mind shatter then go completely blank. All other people in the room suddenly experienced a paralyzing migraine and Lanuya just stood there in shock. The man had gone insane, like her suddenly wasnāt home anymore, and died minutes later whilst the other guest who had been near had to be taken to their rooms until they recovered from the episode. Lanuya fled the scene and never spoke of it to anyone.
A few days after the explosion of Lanuyaās powers, two kittens were found in a basket on the grand steps of the hotel. The kittens were brought to the managers, Lanuyaās parents, and they decided to comfort their daughter and take her mind of the tragedy, they would give her these kittens. Lanuya and the kittens took to each other immediately. They've been her constant companions, sometimes even sneaking into her knapsack and going to class with her. Sugar and Velvet had a mental link to each other, just as Lanuya seems to have a mental link with them.
Recently Lanuya has felt the same knot of unused power growing in her head and fears that it will be a repeat of what happened before. One day she can across a poster for a mansion and thought that would be a perfect place to go to get away from the stress of her life. Hopefully there she could unwind the pocket of power before anyone got hurt. She held out until the school year ended before asking her parents if she could go, saying she wanted to take the summertime off so she could relax, make some new friends and just have a nice time.
Her parents thought this was a great idea, knowing how demanding the hotel could be sometimes, and thought that a peacefully spent summertime would be good for their daughterās health. So they bought her the plane tickets and she promised to write/call them when she got the chance to let them know how she was doing before setting off with her kittens. Her parents send her a monthly allowance of $200 to spend on where ever she wants and Lanuya writes/calls them weekly.
After a short time at Nixie's house for the Supernatural, Lanuya contacted home and told them she was homesick and wished to return. She did not inform them of the trouble she had have there, the death of her kittens or the fact that she was bringing her friends along. Now Lanuya and her friends; David and Samil, are staying on this island for the summer.
