Personality
Angiluzza is a tad difficult to describe, so I'll try my best to sum her up. Enigma is headstrong and never afraid of a challenge; Her greatest weakness is that even when she knows she should back down, she won't. She refuses to go down without a fight. She will always stand up for something that she is passionate about and is very protective of her Coven members, willing to risk her life for them even if it would cost her own life.

She is one to take advantage of each and every opportunity presented to her, often getting frustrated with things that she can't accomplish.

When it comes to having her way if she can't get it straightforward, she will resort to mind games and if that fails, she's not afraid to use her body - Either by seduction or pure force. She's a gorgeous woman and she knows it. She does not mind in the least using manipulation and seduction to get her things that cannot be acquired through intimidation or simple request.

She generally tends to be very subtle about her seduction, knowing very well that its a delicate art and that being too aggressive can send her prey scurrying away with a bad taste in their mouth. This skill is often what she uses to gain a willing donor for blood, disliking having to drink from baggies too much and liking to give the pets a break.

When around the Coven, she likes to keep to herself and is very subtle in her actions and words. She can often be found simply dancing around the home or in her room playing her piano. She's not the type to watch television, having lost interest in it decades ago, choosing only to watch very, very few shows. Every now and again, she can be seen writing in a journal that is very worn and tattered on the outside.

Whenever asked what she's writing, she will simply reply with a cant of the head, a light smile, and a resounding "Hm?" before walking away. She doesn't speak much unless she truly enjoys the conversation, but even then she seems as though she's in very deep thought about something important. Adding on to her air of mystery is the way she watches people. She doesn't just watch them, she studies. Sometimes it might feel almost like she's hunting them. She's just watching their body language, learning to read them. She's listening to the way that they talk and watching the way that they act and react. She knows how to get into someone's head.

She doesn't like to let many people in on her personal life. Often times that she leaves into the forest, she won't say where she went or she'll lie about it. She does very much care for her Coven, but she grew up virtually alone and old habits die hard. She enjoys the time spent alone and has stated to those who are nosy that what she does in her spare time alone is none of their concern until it endangers the Coven - Which it never has. Whenever she can (which is quite often), she finds herself at some sort of recital - Be it piano, dance, or some other such performance related recital. She's always there. She enjoys exhibiting her skills to audiences for those who are willing to watch.

She will often times speak Italian more than she does English and not bother to translate what she has said. She will often smile as if she knows something that the other does not after speaking, which has resulted in offending them. The humans, to be more precise. Though, she hasn't shown any sign of really caring. Those who have been in the Coven long enough will notice that she's often never really...around. Visibly, that is. She will often pop up unexpectedly with something to say before dancing away. This behavior has often been described as 'Fae-like'.

History
Angiluzza Giuvannina Maniscalco was born in Palermo, Sicily. Her parents were not wealthy by any means. She fought for everything and toughened up at a young age. Her parents were killed during a pillaging when she was seven years old and she managed to get away, running as far as she could into the woods until she passed out in the snow. She was eventually picked up by a gang of bandits to serve them. Growing up among bandits made her tougher than she already was, enduring years of rape, beatings, and verbal abuse.

She taught herself to be proficient with a dagger so that she might defend herself as well as with bow and arrow to hunt when it was demanded of her. Some months before she turned eighteen years old, she decided to stand up for herself against the leader of the bandits – She was told once that if she ever wanted to be free, she'd have to fight for it. She saw herself as ready and challenged him. She might have won if weapons would have been allowed - But she was to fight using only her body. She was malnourished and wasn't exactly a good fighter besides street brawling which consisted heavily of blind punches, biting, and stabbing. She was left for dead after her beating, not seen as worth keeping around any longer.

She didn't die – She refused. She spent three months in recovery and was soon out on her own again. She refused to live among towns, instead spent her time stealing what she could from whoever could afford it. Though she did prefer to hunt her own game. She became a proficient hunter and was far healthier than she ever had been in her life as far as she could remember, a silent and deadly killer that never missed her mark. She distinctly remembers even to this day that on her birthday, she had just killed a bear that she had been stalking when she was rendered unconscious. When she awoke, a man who later identified himself as *Alexander Skarsgård* was standing over her, welcoming her to life as something much greater than what she had been before.

She eventually felt thankful rather than terrified or upset, because life as a human had been extremely hard on her. With her new Coven, she eventually would have a 'family' that would always look out for her and all she saw around her was an endless supply of easy food. After she had regained her ability to think straight, she didn't ask him to teach her to hunt. She instead tried to go on a killing spree – Her target: Her former bandit gang. He stopped her and told her that wasn't their way. She was confused, but she owed him her life so she conceded and decided to do it his way. After learning from him, she would travel with him for a while and become part of his Coven, but she was taking advantage of her forever years by doing what she never had the chance to do: Learning. Anything and everything, she would learn. As each decade passed, she acquired more and more knowledge, seeming to care a lot about music and martial arts. She would, however, always gravitate back to her family, having sworn to never abandon them.

Anything Else
Skills
Pianist, Guitarist, and Dancer
As a child, she never had access to instruments, but she always enjoyed music in all forms. Some years after being 'reborn', she took advantage of the opportunity presented and began training. She only practiced ballet, belly dancing, and latin dances, though. She spent twenty years on dance and then spent twenty more on becoming a pianist and guitarist.

Martial Artist (Taekwondo, Muay Thai, and Southern Shaolin Kung Fu)
Angiluzza wanted to be an Enforcer for her Coven, but knew that her brawling and archery wouldn't do much good in fights against other Vampires. She wanted to become a professional fighter and knew that to be among the elite, it was a must. She spent thirty-four years learning to fight, moving around to various countries to do so. Once she had deemed herself ready, she presented herself to her Coven Leader, demonstrating her combat abilities. Her second motive behind learning Martial Arts was so that she would always be able to stand at least a fighting chance in combat without use of weapons, often shuddering in remembrance of that day she had lost that fight.


Weaknesses
Water
When at a younger age, as mentioned, she didn't have the best of time living with the bandits that had gotten a hold of her. During her pre-teen years, she entered the typical rebellious stage and was punished accordingly. One such punishment was waterboarding. Over the months that she was exposed to that horrendous activity, she developed a deep-seated pathological fear of water. She won't go into water that goes above her waist. She eventually forgot how to swim some years after being turned.

Thunder
The loud clap of thunder ignites memories of rude awakenings that would have lead to her early rise for chores and 'duties', servicing those who demanded. It also reminds her of those few months spent curled up on the floors of caves, unable to sleep during thunderstorms because she knew she would have to defend herself against any wild animal or person that came along looking for shelter. The sound of thunder will often send her into violent/depressing mood swings or glued to her Maker's side.

Forebearers
The members of her Coven are the family that she never got to have. Even the humans. The mere thought of one of them being in danger is enough to spike her temper. She rarely ever shows any hint of hostility even when sparring - But when in battle with a Fallen or defending a family member, its then that her nasty side comes out. She doesn't quite know how to handle anger, and as mentioned before she needs to burn off the energy that comes with it which results in her taking off or entering a violent, blind rage.

Slow Learner and Perfectionist
As noted above, she took up learning a few skills. But she was slow to finally master them. While it may some people five or seven years to master something, or less even, she took anywhere between ten and forty years before deeming herself perfect in her skills. When in training, she refuses to present her progress to any but her mentor(s). Though once she's got it, she's got it.
