Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay.
Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay
Cleopatra Annette Firewalker
Age:
Sixteen Years Old
Gender:
Some may call me a girl, but I am a young woman thank you very much
Physical Description:
Cleo is on the shorter side for her age. She is exactly five feet four inches and probably weighs around 120 lbs. She has long pale brown hair that cones down to about her middle back and on missions she always has it tied back in a bun or ponytail. Her skin is on the paler side since she rarely goes out into the sun because she is very sensitive to the UV light. Her eyes are grey like storm clouds and are heavily lined with long black lashes. Although Cleo never wears makeup. She usually wears black, dark blue or mark red clothing. Never bright clothes. This goes without saying but she also has many rune markings on her body like the other shadowhunters. Although Cleo has a smaller body type, she should never be misunderstood because her light weight makes her nimble and quiet when it comes to fighting. Never underestimate this opponent.
Occupation:
Being a shadowhunter is Cleopatra's only occupation besides reading and writing. She spends a lot of time in her room or asking others to practice with her.
Skills:
Cleo is known for her stories. She will sit on her laptop for hours writing random little stories about whatever comes to mind. Sometimes she even bases them on battles she has been in.
Cleo is especially good with shorter swords and throwing knives.
Cleo is fascinated with ancient history and mythology. If you ever mention greek or roman gods around her she will launch into random stories about Perseus and the Gorgons head or Hercules and his twelve quests. Don't even get her started on Jason and the Argonauts.
Background/History:
Cleo's father; Daniel Firewalker died in a battle with a hoard of demons that had attacked near their apartment in Toronto when Cleo was only six. After that, Cleo's mother. Annette Firewalker went crazy with grief and basically stopped being a mother to Cleo. One night, three months after her father's death. Cleo got into an argument with Annette and Annette ended up slapping her. Cleo ran up to her room in tears holding her cheek. After hours of contemplating, she decided to run away. She grabbed an old kitchen knife after Annette went to bed and set off into Toronto. As she was walking through the dead quiet streets. A demon found her and attacked. Cleo had gotten limited training from her father so she managed to not get killed and even managed to stab the monster once. Finally a shadowhunter who had been tracking the beast saved her and Cleo has been with the Toronto Institute ever since. She hasn't spoken to her mother though.

Personality Description:
Cleo basically has two personalities. She can be your best friend, or your worst enemy depending on her first impression of you. If you are her friend then good job! but if your not then it isn't pleasant. Cleo may look like a sweet innocent girl but the reality is that she isn't afraid to use her sharp tongue or sharp sword that she almost always has sheathed on her side.
