Name: Lauren Testa
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Description:
Lauren found herself lucky in terms of how much, or perhaps how poorly, the disease affected her. For whatever reason, she received no scaring or disfigurement, at least not physically. However, her features were altered.
Before the disease hit, Lauren resembled a well tanned, pampered rich girl. And truth be told, for the most part, that’s exactly what she was. She had a healthy build, caramel skin, hazel eyes, and brown, curly hair. After the disease passed, she became very thin, her skin tone had faded, her eyes turned into a piercing green, and her hair darkened, becoming almost black. She remained about 5’7”, and retained her regal facial features. Lauren has yet to decide whether or not she likes these changes.
Species:Vampire
Strengths:
- Physically: One might call Lauren’s new abilities “super senses”. This does not mean she is some kind of physic, though sometimes she wishes she could be. Simply put, all five of her senses have been heightened, especially hearing and seeing. She is also stronger and more agile, despite her slimmer frame; some have likened her to a gazelle because of her grace and the way she carries herself.
- Concerning General Character: Lauren is known as an intelligent, determined young woman, and a loyal, trustworthy friend. She is always willing to help anyone in need. Lauren also is generally social and very willing to make new friends. She is very resilient mentally and emotionally and tries to keep a smile on her face even when times are not so great. Over the years she has learned how to bury her feelings successfully...so far.
Weaknesses:
- Physically: Like most vampires, Lauren cannot remain in sunlight for long. If she does, her skin may burn, and she becomes fatigued. Staying in the sun longer could result in her death.
- Concerning General Character: The fact that she is so caring makes Lauren an easy target for those who would take advantage of her kindness. She also does not like to speak her feelings to most because she does not want to be a burden or annoyance, which means she suffers internally because she locks in her emotions.
This Is Who I Have Been, For Always

History:
Lauren grew up as the daughter of a divorced, wealthy CEO in Italy. She and her father had a wonderful relationship; Lauren was Mr. Testa's pride and joy, and Testa was Daddy's little girl. They lived in a large house on the Mediterranean. In fact, Lauren could walk out onto her balcony and watch the boats on the water. She received a wonderful education. Her father sent her to a private school, where she graduated at the top of her class and traveled to Scotland to attend a prestigious university there. However, this wonderful life was torn apart by the disease.
While Lauren was away at school, her father was infected. She was forced to postpone her studies and return home. Shortly after, her father died, and she became infected. She suffered in bed for weeks while everyone around her died, even the doctor treating her.
By the time she was well again, the world was in chaos, and she was forced to flee her home. She discovered her curse when she finally became so hungry that she attacked a girl of about 15. She was relieved to find more of her own kind, though she still has nightmares about that girl. She tries to satisfy her appetite by killing animals instead, but she has no idea how long she can hold out.
