Rafia Brelyn|| Raf || Apparent Age - 22 || Demon || Bisexual
Abilities
Rafia is quite the gourmet, she posses an unsatiable lust for memories of a human. However, the only way she can truly feed off such delicacies is through contact with the being, taste of blood, or as a more vegetarian alternative: Tears. Despite being able to feed off of most creatures, including the supernatural, she prefers humans, seeing as they power her more, she calls it her āSecret Vitality Draining Abilityā, but in reality, it does no particular harm to the person, unless ofcourse they are sucked dry of their blood. However, feeding off of a personās memories by blood, she getās ādrunkā.
The more energy she gains from feeding, the more abilities she is able to use. One of her favorites ā for example: The ability to manipulate oneās mind, especially if they are susceptible to mind games. People to lie a lot are more easily influenced than those that tell the truth, seeing as it is almost Rafiaās specialty to detect those who hide in the shade of their honey words. It is easier to influence these people, because such people are most often those with a creative mind, making it easy to plant Rafiaās idea into their head (most preferably during sleep) and force them to believe that it is the right choice. Any person caught daydreaming, being too relaxed ā or stoned, or even asleep is easy pray for Rafia. However, this is more likely to work on Humans than supernatural beings.
One of Rafiaās other āfavorite abilitiesā is telepathic communication, and telekinesis. There is a limit to how much she can use them before having to rest, or atleast get a headache. Telekinesis, surprisingly uses less power than telepathy. The average length of her power use is about three hours, and a two hour recharge between those. She is still able to feed during this time.
Rafia is also the āvesselā type of demon. She needs a body to use, preferably someone who is too susceptible ā suicidal, or.. Dead. Freshly dead. As long as Rafia possesses the body, it cannot rot. Living bodies, however, may still age, even if it takes longer. One of her favorite possessions are babies. Newborn.
Skills
Rafia is very agile and athletic, she is often seen at the gym or taking a jog outside, she says it gives her peace of mind.
She is also very convincing, despite being a demon, she is able to befriend someone and make them trust her very easily, even if it is against her own desire.
Rafia has also studied Russian and Italian (Aside from English) for several years, and knows those two languages almost like her hands.
Also Rafiaās has a major in Art and Design. She does several jobs based on fashion design, and owns her own web site.
Weaknesses
Her fear of failure and perfectionism often comes in as a barrier to her everday activities, even the simplest thing like painting may make her freak out if the details are off. She can be hotheaded, but she tries not to show it.
Even if drinking blood makes her drunk, without it, she loses energy, and with that, some of her abilities become weaker.
She is unable to alter her body in any way, which includes teleport, walking through objects.

Rafia is tactical, prefers the use of logic over creativity and taking chances. She often thinks before she acts, evaluating all the possibilities - which often makes her stay away from the action and snicker on the front lines of the audience. Rafia loves laughing. With her dirty mind, she can appreciate any kind of perverted pun. And being a demon, it's quite hard to actually 'get under her skin', so she appreciates all the bad jokes if they have a logical spark in them.
She's surely a party animal, forming groups and making friends like it's cake. Even though she can't actually cook, since she doesn't particularely need to. She doesn't get too close to people, and when she refers to someone as a "good friend", it is most likely more of a partner in crime, or a fellow demon she has grown fond of. When it comes to conversing with people, the only species she cannot take ANY disrespect from are the Witches. Her favourite thing to say to those that do, often in quite a cocky and taunting tone is: " Behind every mighty Witch stands a Demon holding the strings to her voodoo. " Other than that, she does not care for trolling, simple insults or talking behind her back: "Call me a slut because I get well. I don't think you'd have another reason, unless you spy on me when I'm in my bedroom, I guess that means you're in love with me. As for you girls, you don't have to hide your insecurities by talking about me, I mean, you're not fooling anyone. Or, you're not fooling me, you glam' liars."
Playing with the minds of the people who trust her is quite the game in her eyes, she loves making things go her way, and if they don't, she will make them go the way she wants to. "After all, I'm a demon for a reason. Need to know who you trust." But Rafia often means no harm, she mainly uses people to get what she wants, but that doesn't mean she doesn't even pretend to be their friend. "If you want me to, I'll listen, and I'll try to give you advice." She has to live without her powers, some time, too.
When she talks, she often abreviates words ending in -Ing. For exmaple: Findin', Lovin'...
She spends quite alot of time infront of the comupter. She's quite a geek when she's not showing off. She loves video games and watching TV-Series. It is one of the simplest ways for her to relax. As for blowing off steam, she likes to go jogging, or to the gym, feeling the exhaustion of her muscles, and seeing her figure be 'eye candy' pleases her to no end. Otherwise, she often sits down and paints, blowing off steam into art, or her designs. One of her favorite passtimes is mix and matching outfits. If she's not going out good lookin', she's not going out at all.
One thing Rafia is truly guilty of, is being a "cat burglar", shop-lifting things for fun, leaving bars and restaurants without paying, or dissapearing when agreeing to split the check on a date with some excuse like: "My mother is in the hospital..-" or even manipulating the person into letting her to what she wants. She says "Enjoy the little things. You never know when that small, guilty pleasure can be your last." Rafia also is a pyromaniac, she loves staring at fire, and has a collection of lighters. On the subject, Rafia doesn't smoke or drink, but if it's with company, or if it's a Hookah.. She's all up on that. Sweet and sour flavors of the fruits in a cloud of smoke are addicting to her.
Rafia was originally a girl who was supposedly dead of a heart attack at young age, however, upon the minute of death, she was possessed and used as a vessel for the demon's new life form. Changing name, state, even getting new documents done, soon Rafia became the demon's 'favorite' body. Rafia has grown so accustomed to herself, she refuses the idea of ever having to move away from the vessel. If she even could, seeing as the only way for her to willingly leave the body was if it died, and in this case, without Rafia, the body is but a corpse left to rot. For years, Rafia has been playing the character so well, she started to believe it was actually her, rather than some poor girl. For over ten years now, Rafia has been acting. Out of boredom, she finished an Art Institution, earned a Experienced Designer Degree, managed to start her own buisness, and so on. But something was missing in her life... No. It is STILL missing, and she cannot quite understand what it is. Has being so close to humanity made her susceptible to emotion? Perhaps she is jealous of other's ability to love, meanwhile she can hardly feel true friendship for someone who isn't of her specie.
Currently, Rafia is living in a two story house of her own, not far from the park. She spends her days living like everything is a party, not caring about conflicts or responsibilities. And yet, despite all that, the search for the 'thing' that is missing in her life still continues. Spiritual, or solid, or even emotional, whatever it is, it's been driving Rafia mad.
