•.hair & eyes:What might first appear to be as dark as night, Ava's hair is really a rich and deep brown, that if you look close enough you just might see the underlining tone of auburn running throughout. Still it's faint, and the general tone is just dark. However, her hair does quickly lighten up, usually only if she's been frequently spending time in the sun. About to the small of her back, her hair falls down in loose ringlets, and usually can be only found hanging down. However, it does get in the way of things, and if it's going to get down and dirty, it will be braided or tied up so it's out of the way. Her eyes on the other hand are a great contrast to this and do stand out about her. Some may say her gaze is unnatural. Some even exotic, as twin pools of sapphire can be rather striking compared to her other, much darker features.
•.inches & pounds: •.skin & bones: Neither too tall, or too small, Avery finds herself falling right in the middle. About average height, her frame is lean and slightly muscular. Very little fat has found it's way onto her body, if any has at all. She takes very good care of herself and her body is a testament to this, boasting strength as much as her feminine curves: broad yet willow, thick yet very supple.
•.scars & marks:As a Val-kin, scarring isn't an easy task, as the healing abilities usually take care of just about any wound. As such, it wouldn't be wrong to assume that any scars she carries comes with some weight and range of importance, and she does pride herself on those experiences. Of course, finding out the actual circumstances they were sustained under is a different story. Still, however, vast variety of scars are present all over the place though mostly unsightly, and only are heeded by slight discoloring on her skin.
•.tattoos & piercings:A single tattoo taints her carmel skin. Starting on the curve of her right hip, a vine of sorts, almost tribal in appearance, twists and turns it's way from the front of her hip all the way up the length of her torso, weaving between the flare of her ribs and her abdomen until reaches just above her right breast. As for piercings, she's got quite a few of those as well. Two in each lobe, and one at the top of her left ear.
•.attire: Sleek. Typical attire is usually something casual, but never totally dressed down if she amongst other people's company. Even while she may be dressed in a pair of jeans, she seemingly always carries a certain air of poise no matter how nonchantant her garments may be, and always fit the occasion. Normal garb for her is however a pair of jeans, with the occasional skirt if the mood so rises, some kind of boots whether they be the normal array or combat boots, a blouse or fitted shirt, and her semi-beat up brown leather jacket. Though, she enjoy the comfort of other things, such as silk and satin, even things such as sweatshirts and pants.

•.fears: Dying a dishonorable death (by forces out of her control). She rather go out fighting, preferably with a sword in her hand.
Harm/Death befalling her family or close friends - mainly her brother Nicholas and cousin Tenitha
Confrontation with her father.
Becoming like her father.
•.desires: To become as powerful as she can, just to see where her limits begin and end. Unlike the motives of her father.
To see everything in the world that she can
To
•.quirks: Shakes her leg when she's sitting, especially if she's bored or has too much energy to burn.
Her nose can constantly be found in a book when she's not doing anything.
Picks at or bites her nails when bored.
Sometimes goes out of her way to make people uncomfortable, especially if they're well deserving of it.
•.secrets: Envies the strong father/daughter bond that Tenitha and Diamonte had, something she never had with her own father.
Scared of commitment, mostly due to the fact she's forced herself to deal with things on her own so long, she's not sure she can revert to a complete relationship mindset again, despite the fact she has had a few somewhat long-term flings in the past.
•.abilities: A rather inheritant trait amongst her family lines is clairvoyance. The only kind that has invested itself into her, so far, is the ability of psychometry, the ability to touch objects and divine information from them about their histories, emotions attached, and the such. On occasion she can also read people like so, aside from her normal telepathy, but for her it's still stressful to tame and control that aspect. Until she got it somewhat under control, it was rather unpredicatable, as sometimes she'd feel the pull of electricity with an object that incurs a vision, other times nothing, not even a whisper of secret. Now it seems that it occurs a lot more often, where it's hard to not have a vision happen when she touches something, and a lot more corporal. Instead of just flashes in her mind's eye, it's grown to the point if the vision is strong enough, she can be literally sucked into the vision, in full panoramic view and surround stereo. Of course, it's not without it's problems. It can be quite draining, mentally and phsyically, to the point she needs rest.. or even blood. Thus, most of the time she can be found with gloves that reach up to elbows to help buffer the amount of times it happens.

•.history: Born in Rome in 114 BC, Avery was the youngest and only daughter of Dillion Vordor, who is the one who is resposible for raising her in her early years. Her mother, according to her father, died shortly after she was born, and never elaborated much further on that. All she knows is that she looks just like her... and later would be remarked towards her that she grew to have the same mentality of that her of her mother. Rough around the edges and a bit wild, indepdant, freely spoken, the reason that he liked, though not necessarily loved, her mother.
Despite that, her upbringing was quite a harsh one. Her father was relatively controlling over much of what she did when he was mentoring her, 'helping' her along in her journey of self-discovery with her Val-kin ways. All the while, it was pretty evident that his motives were because of the fact Diamonte beat him to the position of Grand Master, though the exact purpose is still blurry on where she was concerned in the matter.
This would later cause much strain, as eventually it would become more apparent on how deep the obsession would become, and how much Avery didn't want to become a ploy in whatever her father's plans were. That was, IF he ever decided to come up with anything and act upon then, which she thought he would never actually go through with such. Still, she grew to have much different view points then him, personalities crashing, until she saw that she could no longer remain in the quarter and left sometime after 450 AD.
She would transfer herself under the leadership of Diamonte, something she knew that would probably set her father off and she welcomed it. However, it wasn't completely out of spite, as in her eyes, Diamonte was a more respectable leader, a man with a level-head on his shoulders.
It would be here that she was pushed into mating with another Val-kin, being as how rare females are amongst their kind, and while she was stubborn to give in, she did eventually settle down. Though the relationship was rather strained for many, many years as they didn't get along at initially, mostly because of her dislike of being forced into the relationship. Though, while they eventually grew to care for each other, deeply, they never did produce a child before his untimely death at the hands of an outsider, and she hasn't been the same since, even if centuries upon centuries have past.
