Name: Lauren Dayshade
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Rank: Normal Person Really - Not in the military or anything, though i'm sure they'd rather recruit her than have her interfering all the time XD
Appearance: Lauren is a pale young girl with long black hair and green eyes. She usually wears jeans and a black and white plaid shirt. Whenever she's not relaxing, she wears a long grey-black coat, jet black gloves[thin ones] and scarf. On her feet, Lauren tends to wear a simple pair of small grey boots.
Skills: Alchemy['Without' a transmutation circle] and a little Alkahestry.
Personality: Lauren can be an honest, cheerful and all around nice person when you get to know her, but the loss of her compassion makes her a ruthless adversary where others would be weak. Lauren has a complex personality that tends to vary depending on the person she's talking to or in the company of. Lauren is also a rather strategic thinker and smooth talker. This trait is most likely enhanced because of her inability to feel compassion or empathy to those she manipulates.
History: Lauren became an orphan from a very young age, along with her sister, Faye, when their parents became too ill to take care of them anymore. Their parents died when Lauren was 5 and Faye was 3. They both attended their funerals, not really knowing what it all meant...
As they grew older, they grew to accept their misfortunes and always looked on the bright side of life. They lived this way until they were 13 and 11, when they decided they would get away from the orphanage and find their own way of life. They lived fairly well for a few years. Lauren encountered a State Alchemist from Central one day, which inspired her to learn the ways of Alchemy. She was highly successful in learning it, and Faye was always there to cheer her up when things went wrong. It was a wonderfully simple life they lead, until they happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. They were attacked by a homunculus who dealt a fatal blow to Faye and rendered Lauren unconscious with many severe injuries.
Lauren woke in the hospital a day or so later only to be told that her little sister was dead. For a small while, she fell into a state of depression, telling herself that it was her fault that Faye was dead.
After her recovery, Lauren dedicated her entire life to learning how to use Alchemy properly. It was during this time, that she began to research human transmutation. Lauren believed that Alchemy could bring her sister back to life. She fell into the age old trap, and so many before her had done the same.
During the attempt, Lauren unwittingly sacrificed all compassion in her heart to see the Truth.
No longer would she pity the dead or feel sympathy for the ill and wounded. No longer would she share concern or empathy for those she hurt -whether intentionally or not....
Lauren is now older and has become a ruthless fighter. She has also learned a little about Alkahestry in the past few years and has been trying to perfect it, along with her normal, easier to use Alchemy.
Personal Goals:To regain what she has lost and become a successful alchemist.
Other: Lauren tends to tail the State Alchemists of the military alot. She has no desire to become a dog of the military herself, but believes that these alchemists could have valuable information that she could use.... if only she could get her hands on it....
