Elaina Griffin - Fable
Name: Elaina Oriana Griffin
Nicknames: ‘Laina, Lana, Muse
Codename: Fable
Affiliation: X-Men
Legal Status: Elaina is a citizen of the United States with no criminal record whatsoever.
Occupation: English Teacher
Nationality: American (Southern)/ Native American/ Some European descent
Race: Homo Sapiens Superior
Place of Birth: Fairview, AL
Marital Status: Single
Gender: Female
Age: 25
Birthday: December 12
Hair: Dark Brown
Eyes: Dark Brown
Height: 5’7”
Weight: 125 lbs.
Other Physical Details: Elaina has long wavy locks that come down to her shoulders. She often opts for whatever’s comfy yet still makes look attractive. She’s into the whimsical look at times, often putting her hair up in intricate hair styles. She knows when to dress up and how to do it. She won’t go for the latest trends; she just gets what she likes and wears it, whether it’s in or out! Overall, she’s a down to earth girl with her own style and a killer smile.


Mother: Roanna Elizabeth Griffin (alive)
Father: David Oswald Griffin (alive)
Other Important Relatives: Alina Marie Griffin Pryce (Sister, alive), Jeremy Pryce (brother-in-law, alive), Ashley Pryce (niece, alive), Jenna Lee Griffin (Sister, alive), Sarah Griffin (grandmother [a.k.a. Gran], alive), William Griffin (grandfather, deceased), Irene Alexander Johnson (grandmother [mother’s side], alive), James Alexander (grandfather [mother’s side], deceased), Eric Johnson (step-grandfather [mother’s side], alive), and 6 sets of aunts and uncles and 13 or so first cousins with countless other aunts and uncles on her step-grandfather’s side plus too many distant cousins to count!


Powers:
Elaina may open portals that would allow her, and others, to enter the world that the writer of the story has created without changing the actual finished written story that takes place within this imaginary world. In order for her, and others, to enter a story’s world, the world must have been very well defined within the creator’s imagination at some point or other and be very well described within the written story. An example of a world in which she, and others, can enter would be J.K. Rowling’s imaginary world where Harry Potter’s stories take place.

Elaina's powers work strongest when the story book of the world she's opened the portal to is present at the time that she summons the portal. If she chooses, she can alter the story in some ways. When this happens, she finds that when she and/or others return that there is another book beside the original, detailing the story that they helped to make due to their presence there. This way, their presence within the story doesn't change any of the other copies of the story in the world.

If a story has been well defined with well defined characters in the written version as well as within the author’s mind, then oftentimes the story’s world will develop on its own without help from the written stories. In other words, no matter how the last story ended, the world will take on a life of its own and just continue to develop with or without the author’s help; just like in the real world. So, basically, after a certain point, the world becomes so developed that instead of the author making all the changes, the characters will influence the events or the future stories that the author writes in the real world. So, everything just takes on a mind of its own.

Elaina may also enter the world of an unfinished or not so defined story. That is, if she enters one of these unfinished or not so defined stories’ worlds, then she can only venture as far as the description within the story allows. She doesn’t often do this except to perhaps help the author further develop the story and see the flaws within. Thus, she sometimes acts the part of the muse.

If she, or someone else from the real world, “dies” in the imaginary world, she really doesn’t die, but returns to the real world instead. This is mostly a failsafe really. Elaina can't always control when the portal to the real world reappears. Sometimes the portal will open up when she calls it, other times it won't. Elaina believes that when the portal to the real world doesn't open up for her when she wants it, then there is something she is supposed to do or learn before she can return to her world. Also, she's found that her injuries do not disappear once she gets back to the real world. So, even if she does "die" in the story, she may not die in real life, but she will have a fatal injury that would need to be tended to in the real world.

Recently, Elaina has found that she has developed a complimentary secondary mutation that allows her to possess the bodies or forms of the heroes or villains of the story rather than only visit the story’s world. At first, she found it delightful to do this, but lately, the characters have found ways to possess her body in the real world, forcing her to seek Xavier’s help in her control of the new development of her powers. So far, she hasn't been able to control who she possesses in the stories. However, with Xavier's help, she might be able to have better control over this new power, allowing her to at least choose who she possesses in some instances, unless fate states that she needs to learn a lesson from the person she's possessing or maybe even teach the person she is possessing a lesson of their own.

Note: Since others are able to get into these dimensions too, she'll soon find out that her powers will expand to include others. When she discovers this, she will have to work on her control once again. In the meantime, the others will have no choice as to whether or not they possess somebody and also as to who they possess within the story. Oh! And once she's mastered those skills (or not, depending on my mood) she'll find that sometimes she won't be able to unpossess someone before returning to the real world. This will give her many problems.


History: Elaina grew up as the oldest of three daughters in a family of five in a small, close-knit community called Fairview, Alabama. Her mother was an elementary school teacher who came from the high society of Tuscaloosa while her father managed the family-owned lumber and hardware company in town for his well respected parents. Both of her parents were always busy, often leaving the care of the children to their grandmother (their father’s mother), Gran whenever the children were sick or just needed a babysitter at the last minute.

Most of the town was related to each other in some way or other, so that everyone knew everyone’s business and everyone had babysat for everyone at some point or other. So, you could say that Elaina and her sisters were raised by the entire town, especially by their church congregation at The First United Methodist of Fairview. The youth group there actually helped to fill the gaps of what could be a boring life in a small town such as this with only a few stores and no movie theater or mall to call its own.

Elaina was the semi quiet one in her family. This was mostly due to the fact that her mother and sisters were the talkative ones and she mostly couldn’t get a word in edge-wise. Besides, someone had to be the one who listened and listen she did. She found that being quiet had many advantages as she grew up. For one thing, it allowed her to be forgotten when chores needed to be done at times. It also allowed her to be heard when she did actually have something to say.

When she wasn’t doing chores, Elaina found herself either reading or drawing. Though she’d had trouble learning how to read at first, Elaina quickly found that reading was one of her most favorite things to do, next to her art lessons of course! Thanks to her artistic eye for detail and her newly found vocabulary, she soon found the subjects of English and Spelling to be her best subjects throughout her grade school years. She was good at making friends, but preferred to stick to a small group of close friends rather than a large group.

It was on her fourteenth birthday that she found out about her powers. She was reading the second book of the Chronicles of Narnia and thinking about how cool it would be to be able to get to Narnia when a bully came her way. He was tall and a bit round around the waist and he delighted in picking on her due to her quiet nature and since she was really one of the few that read a lot in school. He started out with his usual name calling, drawing in his groupies from other endeavors and before long he had her book. He held her book way over her head, taunting her with it. At that moment she wished once again that she could be in Narnia. That was when the bully pushed her. At the moment that she was pushed, a portal opened up behind her. She fell through the portal and found herself in a field with tents all around. She heard voices gasping at her sudden appearance and looked up to find herself surrounded by two boys, two girls, a faun, and a great lion. Upon seeing the characters from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, she fainted. When she awoke, she found herself looking up at Peter, Lucy, Susan, Edmund, Mr. Tumnis, and Aslan. She gasped and found herself being questioned. However, before she could answer any of the questions, a portal opened up from right beneath her, whisking her back to the real world and a very scared bully.

The bully had been puzzling over the portal and where Elaina had went to when the portal opened up again, throwing her onto the bully. The bully scrambled to get up after hitting the ground and Elaina managed to grab her book and roll away before the bully got up, called her a “freak” and hightailed his butt out of there, followed by some very puzzled comrades.

Later that day, Elaina sought out the bully and made a deal with him. If he and his bogies didn't tell anyone about her powers, she'd help him out by tutoring him in English. The bully agreed to these terms and never picked on her again since she had done such a good job at tutoring him.

After that day, Elaina began to practice opening portals to the worlds of her favorite stories. From Snow White, to Robin Hood, she had been to all of their worlds in turn, sometimes finding that she had gotten the to the villain while sometimes finding that she had gotten to whom she had asked for. It was during one of these experiments with her powers that her sisters found out.

Alina was the trouble-maker in the group and always would be. She was well known for finding out secrets and because of that, and the fact that she was her older sister, Jenna chose to follow her everywhere. It was when Alina was spying on Elaina that Jenna and Alina both found out about Elaina’s powers. At first, Alina was horrified that her sister was a mutant while Jenna was outright excited. Alina, being thirteen years old, was past believing in fairy tales and such. She felt that all that was kid stuff and the fact that Elaina could open portals to those stories kind of frightened her in a way. Jenna, however, was just eight years old and still believed in magic. As far as Jenna was concerned, Elaina was the coolest sister ever!

Now that Elaina’s secret was out of the bag with her sisters, she didn’t know whether or not she liked it. Alina started acting strangely around her and often avoided her while Jenna started to follow her around, asking if she could please please please open a portal so that she could meet this character or that from her favorite stories. It wasn’t until Elaina confronted Alina a few weeks later about her change in behavior towards Elaina that her sister started down the path of acceptance of her sister’s mutation.

After Alina had begun accepting Elaina’s powers, Elaina invited Alina and Jenna to come along with her on some of her adventures. However, after a few mishaps where Jenna got lost and Alina got kidnapped while visiting the story of Robin Hood, Elaina and her sisters agreed that she would probably need to get some help on how to control her powers more. It was then that Elaina confided in her parents about what she could do. They were shocked at first, but after a few words from Gran, they finally found their wits about themselves. It was then that Gran suggested that they try and get her signed up with Xavier’s for better control of her powers way up North. She’d certainly get a better education there than she would in Fairview’s education system. Besides, one of their distant cousins had gone there to help learn how to control his mutation and now he had a respectable job and a better control of his powers.

So, her parents sent a letter to Professor Xavier telling him of their daughter’s situation and waited for a reply. They soon got Elaina’s acceptance letter to Xavier’s Institute of Higher Learning. A few tearful goodbyes later and she was on her way to Xavier’s.

The years flew by for Elaina as she learned how to better control her powers at Xavier’s. She no longer accidentally opened portals or summoned characters at odd times. It wasn’t until she was seventeen that she left the Institute and went to college with many tearful goodbyes to the friends she had made. After Xavier’s, Elaina found her double major of English literature and education with a minor in psychology a piece of cake. And making friends? That was both easy and hard. She only told a few close friends about her powers and only those whom she knew she could trust to accept her for who she was. Those she didn't tell were either mutual friends or just acquaintances whom she hung out with on a few occasions.

Within a few years, she graduated at the top of her class. She immediately went to graduate school and got her masters. Finally, she got a job teaching high school English at a high school in Connecticut. After a year of teaching eighth graders, Elaina found herself torn between her double life of being normal and of being a mutant. She wanted to be open about her powers to her colleagues and really, just everyone, but knew that if she did that, not many people would accept her. Her job could be in jeopardy, not to mention her life! It was around that time of stress that her powers developed in an unexpected way.

One morning, Elaina was reading one of her favorite books by Irene Radford called The Guardian of the Balance. The book was a historical fiction book about what would have happened if the Merlin had had a girl child who captured Arthur’s heart and borne him children whose descendents would influence history greatly by protecting all of Britain through magic and court intrigue. It was during this time that the main villainess, Nimuë, found a way to possess Elaina and wandered around in Elaina’s body, exploring the new world. It was during this time that Nimuë bumped into Elaina’s sister, Jenna, who was visiting from the Institute (she was a luck mutant while Alina apparently never developed any powers). Jenna found Elaina’s behavior strange as she hugged her. It was then that Elaina started to seem as though she were having a seizure. Really, she had found herself as a prisoner in her own mind and when she saw Jenna, she had started to fight back and actually was expelling Nimuë’s spirit from her body. When Nimuë was finally expelled, Elaina sent her back to her own world and immediately sought out Professor Xavier’s help.

So, now she’s heading back to the Institute to learn once again, how to better control her powers. Only this time, she’s going to teach english to students in a revolutionary way: with the use of her extraordinary powers. It’s not going to be easy to teach the next generation of mutants. Yet with a little luck and a whole lot of determination, Elaina should be just fine…


Personality: Elaina is a kind and trusting soul that believes that everyone and everything has a purpose. She also believes that everything is connected in some way and nothing is coincidental. She is a fiercely loyal friend who’s ready to lend a ear to anyone who needs it. She believes that there’s good in everyone; you just have to know where to look. She also can be a bit blunt at times, believing that sugar-coating things can often lead to trouble somewhere down the road. She can be stubborn and headstrong, but mostly she is an understanding soul. However, you do not want to be around once her temper gets the best of her. She usually keeps her Irish temper reined in, but if you do get on the receiving end of her temper, then beware of her lashing tongue (this is the first telltale sign that her temper’s flared up). In other words, if you betray her or mess with her family and friends in any way, watch out! Other than that, you’ll get along fine with her.

Also, she favors comfortable clothes to fashion taboos, keeping her own style. She knows when to dress up and when to just dress down, thanks to her mother, along with everything appropriate for a lady (though she might disagree with it at times). She may have a bit of a Southern accent these days, but it is not as pronounced as Rogue’s since her parents encouraged her to not fall into the Southern hick rhythm when she was young. Though she may have been quiet when she was young, she’s more outgoing these days and more outspoken, leaving a very well rounded young woman, just ready to make a difference in the world and in someone else’s life.

Likes: Drawing, singing, archery, photography, gymnastics, sailing, painting, shopping, hanging out with friends, swimming, reading, biking, rollerblading, snorkeling, scuba diving, dancing, chocolate truffles, cooking, fantasy books, historical fantasy books, poetry, writing, tulips, cornbread, purples, blues, greens, pinks, faeries, angels, most varieties of music, mythology, legends, tall tales, history, pepperoni pizza, Dr. Pepper, milk chocolate, almonds, whimsical stuff, etc.

Dislikes: Rap, “players”, disrespectful people, vandalism, arrogance, betrayal, not being able to finish a sentence, two-faced people, onions, prejudice, slow internet, feeling helpless, throwing up, being sick, supreme pizza, wasps, snakes, ageism, being afraid, music with too many cuss words, off-key singing, bullies, deadlines, Sonic Breakfast Burritos, being yelled at, etc.

Re: Elaina Griffin - Fable
Okay here's my bio review but I'm mainly concentrating on the powers because I have a personal issue there so please keep that in mind and I really don't want to offend you or anything I just would like to maintain the uniqueness of my charrie's powers. Since I know you were going for uniqueness too and my character Ryan hasn't been played much yet (I haven't yet gotten him into the action but he'll most certainly be played during Criminal Offences) you probably didn't realise he was in existence or what his powers were so it's understandable.

I find her mix of nationality interesting since despite the mix of diversity in the comics there isn't as much of that here yet and don't get me wrong I'm not criticising because I sure as heck have contributed to that because I'm afraid of representing another culture poorly despite having good intentions.

Very thorough with the relatives.

Okay the powers is where I'm going to be critical. See I have a character called Storyteller/Ryan Warner who has similar powers of bringing forth characters from books and in fact that part of her powers don't seem to be at all different from Ryan's. Also I would find it odd personally with all this talk we've been having lately of overdone mutations (and rightfully so) of less than five of that talent to have 2 mutants with the same power which would seem to be so unique at first glance pop up. It wouldn't be so bad if, like the situation with the two truth telling mutants they were on opposite sides or something but both of them are X-men teachers so that could cause a big overlap. I really would rather this part of the mutation be removed or at least suffiently tweaked so that it isn't so similar.

On the up side I do like the portal to the story bit as a twist and I actually think that entering a story world along with her secondary mutation that you mention about her being able to posess the bodies of characters is good on its own although something else you might want to add to give her a little more range and power if you wish although I might be disagreed with on this. If any mods/admins want to state their opinion on this because I think it could be interesting with just those powers and might make for an excellent subplot or more with them venturing into a story or something. It would certainly make for an interesting english class if nothing else lol!

In terms of actual limits of the powers I do have a small question of clarification. By "well written" do you mean a novel/story etc. that was actually published rather than any old story that a student has written or a fanfiction etc. off the Internet?

Onto the history. I like how there's a real sense of smalltown life in the southern US, it seems very brought to life and I like the detail. And because I am THE off topic getter girl I have to comment on how strange it is that Narnia is the book mentionned when as soon as you said the going into other worlds I thought of Narnia despite it not being my ultimate favourite novel and me not having read it in years. Oddness.

Alina and Elaina...*imagines the confusion within the family* I am kind of curious why it took a few years before Elaina confronted her sister about a change in behaviour though. Maybe it's just me but I think I would have confronted someone sooner and not have let it fester (at least not between siblings) for that long. Even if Alina didn't accept it right away, and that makes perfect sense, I would have thought a confrontation would be sonner.

How did her grandmother know about Xavier's in order to suggest it to the parents?

And offtopicness again but the favourite book you mention sounds really interesting and now I'm tempted to look it up and give it a try. I have a love of historical fiction/fantasy and particularly of Arthurian legend.

I feel really bad about the powers thing now because I really like your character so I'm really not sure what to do about it and I'd like to see someone less personally involved in all of this' opinion.

Re: Elaina Griffin - Fable
I agree with you that perhaps it wouldn't be right for there to be too many people with the same power. Especially if their powers are pretty unique. So, I'm thinking that perhaps I'll drop the summoning of characters power. This might not make her good for an X-Men in the field, but I think that she could probably make up for that by learning things from the stories that she goes into.

Also, you're right about sister thing. Yes, it is a bit confusing. *~Knows this since her mother had a thing for adding 'ie' too all three of her and her sisters!~* And I was going to have Elaina confront Alina sooner, but figured that she might hold a grudge longer. However, I will change that since Elaina is a bit more confrontational than that. The whole Gran's suggestion thing I'll explain more in the history by saying they have a cousin who went there, blah blah blah.

Thank you for the suggestions and everything. I'm glad you spoke up. I really didn't know about your character until now and will make the necessary changes this afternoon.

Anyways, gotta go! I have a boyfriend waiting on me and I really shouldn't have replied since I promised that I wouldn't. -_-0 *~Couldn't resist though~*

Laters!

Re: Elaina Griffin - Fable
alright, I will definitely take this bio home and give it a thorough commenting thingy later but since the powers seem to be an issue - again XD - heeere goes my comment for it.

Actually, I'm impressed of my memory cos I remembered the Storyteller though never having met him IC. I do agree with Lady and thus apparently also with you, Katie, that it'd be nice to give them more of a difference, powerwise, especially since the rest of her powers - so everything aside from the "bringing characters out of the books" part - sounds as if it had INCREDIBLE potential for future plotlines! *is getting all excited about it* :D :D :D

So what I'd suggest as some alterations would beeee... (warning, may be a bit over-creative/babbly here)

- drop the part where characters can be brought into the "real world" in BODY

- expand on the "taking over me" (oh how I love Evanescence...so versatile) part so that they can, however, "possess" Elaina and MAYBE use her as a medium to take over others. she may end up discovering at some point that she can actually influence that and thus possibly get in some cases by like... summoning one of the 7 dwarves and "putting" it into Beast's body (of coooourse with his permission... *coughs*) if she ever wants to start a mining business... eh... you know where I'm coming from, right? XD

- make the thing whether or not she'd impersonate the hero/ine of a story or not a matter of chance. I'd also expand this on everyone she's taking with her so that some may be themselves and others be forced to play roles

- give the possibility to alter a bit. so that Juliet could... like... pour out a bug of water over balcony-climbing Romeo (but he would pretend it hadn't happened cos that's his role... OR he would and the book would change... now that'd be kinda interesting too - what if it was... um.. next point, new idea came to mind....)

- what if an issue of the book in question was needed, and be it only for focus reasons? this'd also give the option of maybe making the story alterable which would, however, only affect THIS issue which'd sorta... "rewrite" itself. like the Neverending Story...

- limit her control! and this is one thing that seems essential to me. there really should be something more that she's having problems controlling and be it only the time of her/their return (unless she's/they're "killed") and her inability to get "out of the role" before this time has passed cos that'd provide even more to play out *nods enthusiastically*

aaand lastly a question: what about injuries? would they affect the real body or are they fictious, sort of? I actually suggest to at least have some injuries kind of... be taken "over the border".. adds a little extra motivation to do well ;)

Also, there's this theory that when you *think* you're dying, you actually are. It *is* nicer to make it impossible for people to die in the story, physically that is, and I won't tell ya to change this part but it'd make things harsher the other way (would she know anyway?)... just FYI and totally up to what you want.

Thank you so much for applying this character, it has such a great potential and in combination with the Storyteller, this could actually carry a whole-board-storyarc!

Re: Elaina Griffin - Fable
Yah I'd definetly want a student or two to be in her class, could make english very entertaining and it already is for me lol.

Thanks for the explanations and for understanding and yah I didn't figure he would really be known about since I haven't had the chance to post with him much. We'll certainly have to have these two meet and I think carrying a storyline between them would be a great idea.

I was thinking like Matt that characters using her to take over others would be interesting and could provide for an interesting take over storyline with more potential, in my opinion, than the witch king posession.

I basically think Matt has some really good ideas and I completely think that our characters will have to meet at some point in time and we can get some good posting going :D

Yeah I think your character is great and the differences in powers mean they can really compliment eachother so give a shout out if ya ever want to post together and maybe we can work out a storyline in the distant future if it's okay with all...

*thinks about how there are so many storylines and so little time*

Re: Elaina Griffin - Fable
Okay, I've made the adjustments. I really hadn't thought about a few of the things that you mentioned, Matt, but I liked the suggestions so much, that I think I've found a way to make it all work. Also, I'll very much keep Storyteller in mind for future joint posts. It'll be cool to see how much they compliment each other powerwise and what that might entail. I'd really love to work on a storyline with ya, Lady, especially if its okay with everyone else.

I wasn't sure if Xavier's had a literature teacher opening at the moment. So, I guess I was going out on a limb when I wrote it out, but I'm glad I did.

Oh! I'm glad I could convert a new reader of the Merlin Descendents series. The next one is due sometime in April or May. *~So very excited!~*

Now, I think I'll go do my bio modship duties that I've been neglecting and read some bios. Hopefully, Elaina will be approved in no time and I'll be able to flex my creative skills with her!

Thanks for your comments!
Katie

Re: Elaina Griffin - Fable
ok, sorry for the insanely long wait!

just out of nit-pickiness: it's homo sapiens superior ;)

Powers: I'm almost fully ok with them *nods* very well done. Only thing that bugs me is the "possessing real people" part... mind control is basically a psychic ability and not related to the rest of her powers which are more abstract. I'd rather you dropped this - even though it's only a future possibility - to keep things on one line, so to speak.

History: First of all, no probs whatsoever with her teacher position! :)

Quote:
...the children to their grandmother (their father’s mother), Gran whenever the children were sick and such.

The grandmother is named Gran? XD And just on a side note, I find "and such" a bit too informal for prose... ;) yes, I'm a nagger! *stands tall and proud*

That reeeally minor detail aside, I'm fine with the history. You did skip quite some years but most of those things can be assumed.. like... her ability to make friends probably didn't change etc.

What I'd be interested in, however, is whether there was any aftermath to the encounter with the bully. that type of people usually hate to lose or be seen scared...

It'd be good if you added a bit to that and maybe a little about her life during those years you just roughly outlined. If they were just like a continue of her school life, why not just state that ;)

Anyways!


You'll need one more stamp... preferably Lady since she's been commenting here before.

Yeah, sorry Katie, I'm ready everything and keeping up to date, but I had wanted to get in touch with lady since I noticed these powers were the same as Storytellers (I didn't forget him :D ) but later when I logged on again noticed she replied! And so I'm sorta sticking in the back seat until she gives her yay or nay.. plus I'm sick, I have slacking rights! ^_^V

Uh I just wanted to point out to the other mods that we already have three literature teachers, Siren, Riley and Jean.. Angie do we need another one or were you thinking of having Jean take a break from teaching while she mourns for Scott?

Re: Elaina Griffin - Fable
I'm reading the bio at the moment... I'll edit with my response (and likely stamp) in a moment but I just wanted to say that I don't know much about other school systems so I don't have much basis here but if by Literature you include English I think 3 seems fairly reasonable considering there would probably be different classes like writer's craft, normal english and maybe some others.

If Jenn does have a point then I would like to point out that Ryan is also a literature teacher. I think considering the ages and different levels of the kids it wouldn't be too far off base to have 4 teachers though so long as they taught different varities of the class content and maybe had something else on the side to teach as a secondary subject if needed.

EDIT:

Looks pretty good to me, just a few minor things. Honestly Matt you're so picky! I'm going to assume by "all sorts of music" you mean various varieties not literally all types of music or that would contradict her not liking punk rock and rap *makes a mental note not to play Green Day when Elaina is around*

I really like the power additions first of all. She's going to be incredibly interesting to play I'm sure! I agree with Matt about the dropping the posessing real people part but really want to keep the fictional characters posessing real people part.

I'm with Matt again on the aftermath. I'm kind of curious about whether the bully would be too scared to say anything for fear of what she might do to him if he told and that's how no big deal was made about seeing her disappear and reappear like that or if he thought he was seeing things and never mentionned it or was not believed.

Also a little pick and not something you absolutely have to do but I'm interested in her 'mishaps' when she brought her sisters into her portals. Was it just that they didn't end up where Elaina had expected and had wanted them too?

That's really it though and those are pretty minor things.

You've got my stamp! *stamps* Lol all this book talk along with the stamp reminds me of that great scene in Indiana Jones Three :D

Annnyway I can't wait to see her in action I think she's a great charrie!

Different levels are provided, my memory is degrading at the moment, but Siren is definitely taking a younger year in something... could be english XD

Anyway, it doesn't matter, there are plenty of students, wide range of classes and decently kept class sizes, I think 4 to 5 teachers for the main and popular classes would seem do able at Xaviers. That's my opinion anyway...

Ok, I made the suggested changes to the bio. And I believe that Angie's right in that with the variety of students (ages and grades and such) that many english teachers would be fine. I mean, there's supposed to be hundreds of students, right?

Oh! I like a few songs by Green Day (sp?) and so does Elaina. I just didn't know that was punk music. Really, she just dislikes singers like Marilyn Manson and songs with so many cuss words that you can't get what the heck the song is about.

So, yay about all the stamps! I can't wait to play her! Well, I'll see ya'll around. I must comment on a bio.

Thanks!
Katie

Oh okay well I understand that then, can't stand Marilyn Manson!

I like bands like Green Day and Simple Plan though, which sort of fit into the punk category that's all, not the heavy rock like that or anything.
