Personality: She talks. A lot. Mostly about mundane stuff - what she likes at that particular moment, what she doesn't, what's annoying her. Particularly what's annoying her. Susie has a habit of picking on things she does not like and is highly opinionated on what she thinks should be done. She's not particularly thrilled about being at school and furthering her education. She goes to class for something to do and makes a point of that being known. Susie has an air of someone who's been there and done it all already and for that reason everyone should listen to what she says. Susie actually quite likes being a vampire, and loves to take advantage of the nature of beast. She enjoys hunting and taking human blood.

Appearance: Susie looks like a piece of fluff who can't add two and two together. She's small, slender and delicate with innocently beautiful features. She has the softest looking pale skin, and bouncy blonde hair that falls in waves to below her shoulders somewhere down her back. Susie's eyes are a bright sapphire blue. She has a wide, friendly and very open smile that's equally charming and inviting. Her nails are her pride and joy, always kept long, manicured and as sharp as she can get them.

Strengths: Despite her fluffiness and disdain for the human high school world, Susie is a lot smarter than she comes off. She has a sharp and calculating mind, helped tremendously by her enhanced strength and senses. She revels in them, and has taken a great deal of time to train herself to use particularly smell and sound. Her desire is to enhance her telepathy, which isn't that great, so she compensates with the other senses. She has taken classes in training forms of martial arts, gained a black belt in karate and learned tae Kwando and taken some kick boxing lessons. Her only activity is archery. Susie is surprisingly good with a bow and has extremely accurate aim. She can be quite charming when she wants to be, but its usually when she wants something.

Weaknesses: She talks. A lot. And its irritating, and Susie knows this, but despite knowing that it doesn't stop her. Susie likes being a vampire, but doesn't really know how to cope in the modern world as well as she pretends to. So she deals with it by talking. While she tries to show herself as tough and independent, she hates being alone, and tries to find someone to cling to. Even if that person doesn't want her there, once Susie gets a fix, its hard to get rid of her. She's also promiscuous. She'll throw herself at anyone who offers her a smile, male or female, she doesn't care.

History: Susanna, despite being the 18 year old she is, is actually 130. She was born in 1887 to a woman who was part of a travelling carnival and freak show. Her mother's elder sister was a set of conjoint twins, and Susanna's mother acted as the Fortune Teller. She was raised in a world of strangeness, depravity, and cruelty. Her birth mother refused to get rid of her. She was trained to be the magicians assistant and help with whatever was needed. The owner often took advantage of Susie, and not knowing any better, she let it happen. Right on up until she was 18 she stayed with the carnival. The owner summoned her to him, and to a tall dark stranger, a well dressed stranger. She was told she was going with Lord Hennesy.

She was to be his pet. The owner was gleefully counting a large wad of money. He'd sold her. Her mother was hovering in the corner, bleeding from her nose and numerous lashes on her bare back. Given no choice, Susie was taken away by Lord Hennesy. Lord Hennesy however, treated her like a princess. She lived in a nice big house, was given fancy dresses and fancy foods and even her own pony. Lord Hennesy was a vampire, and had made no secret of the fact. There was a vampire in the freak show, an African man, who had snarled a lot. They never fed him very well. So it didn't surprise her that much. What did surprise Susie was when Lord Hennesy told her he was going to make her immortal. He was going to make her young and beautiful forever. And Susie was thrilled at the idea. The change was successful.

Until at early dawn one night she heard shouting and saw torch wielding villagers, lead by a woman who claimed herself to be Lady Hennesy. Lord Hennesy had never said he was married. He stood beside his wife, refusing to look or help her. He claimed she was a witch and had cursed him. Susie escaped - barely.

She ran. She was supporting herself as a prostitute in a saloon in Texas when she was found by a woman called Meredith. Who offered her a family and a way out of her current lifestyle, and people who could support her. Wary at trusting anyone else, Susie eventually was won over by the idea and became part of the family. She took the Dashwood name like her brother and sisters and joins them at Ashwood Academy.
