†Personality†
Basic Personality:Ever hear of what you see is what you get? Well there is no better way to describe Dante. She isn't one for hiding what she thinks or what is on her mind. With her the best policy is death followed closely by honesty. There is no running around bush or even circling around it, if there is something on your mind just spill it out. As it often is with speaking your mind there is no filter from the thoughts to the mouthpiece. Whether it be an inconvenient truth or an outright harsh comment she will say it. Because of this she often comes off as rash or impulsive to others. Also rude and uncaring and while the uncaring part has its ring of truth, rudeness is not a quality that Dante feels she possess. In her opinion honesty though often something others would rather not hear is a necessity to healthy living. She considers herself to be a very polite individual. She knows all the rules of etiquette and proper conduct and it is very rare and far between that she breaks one. A polite smile for all occasion a blank stare when required she can easily find similarities between herself and Miss Manners. Sarcasm not included as there is hardly anyone more sarcastic than Dante herself. Though she detests it, Dante is a very convincing liar she prefers to call it acting and is often acting other roles deemed necessary for her occupation.
That brings us to another note. Her occupation, while Dante is a what you see what you get with ideas she is quite the opposite when it comes to look. The frail five foot female is hardly what you would think to be a force of nature. The fact however remains that she is one of the quickest and most vicious killers. In 1929 she was almost convicted of killing seventeen men. If not for her sweet face of a nine year old she would have been sentenced to seven consecutive life sentences. It was while committing these murders that Dante truly developed a love for inflicting pain through means of torture. There was nothing in her past that remembers having been a trigger for the pains the pain she adores causing. It is simply the love of screams, tears and blood that drive her incessant need to make others suffer. While any form of torture is considered exquisite she does frown upon psychological torture. She believes this is because there is no visible result aside from the obvious expression of torture on the victims face. Anyone who pleads for mercy ends up being tortured even more. Though she has a love for the work she never gets careless, murder is still a punishable crime. She has enough memories from prison to ensure her that she never wants to go back . The place is very boring and unoriginal also the lack of diversity in her meals would irritate her to no end.
Dante is a very impatient being when it comes to a personal point of view. She requires diversity in both her actions and meals. The one activity that can keep her in one place for a long time is reading as she feels that she gets lost in the stories. She has a knack for writing as well but doesn’t much care for it as she prefers to live her adventures rather than pen them. Though it would seem that her hatred for boredom would make her impatient the truth is quite the opposite. Dante is a very patient person when required to be. However the patience only runs so deep and when she snaps things tend to get very messy. She has patience only when she knows the reward will be worth the wait. Toward her comrades, well lets just say there isn’t a soul whose been willing to test how far her patience goes. She prefers teaching lessons rather than killing those who anger her and there are many who live now with disabilities thanks to Dante. She wants everyone to live to regret crossing her as the knowledge that they know what she’s capable of and even the fear that they must feel for her gives her pleasure. It is this contradiction in her personality, her ability to be patient toward situations but not with people, that have been the demise of many who choose to annoy her.
Dante is very quick to anger and very hard to please. Her temper flares up hotter than the sun and she strikes out fast than a snake. Her mood as well changes with her temper though there is rarely a day you will find her at bliss contentment is only a small torture away. Men have been known to give her humans to torture as a way to find favor with her. This is not to say that she can be bought with baubles and shiny things. To ever truly gain favor with Dante she must be able to trust you completely. However trust is something we will touch up on later. Despite her quick temper changes and her odd mood swings, from rage to simmering anger.
Dante has been known to hold grudges lasting decades. If there was something stopping her at the time and preventing her revenge be sure that she won’t forget. Though she is always quick to enact her physical revenge there are times people will anger her so badly that she will go against the grain and plot for a way to not only physically handicap them but to do so psychologically as well. However these situations are dire and usually result from getting on her very, very bad side. These usually occur when someone underestimates her abilities and makes it known or when someone is more than rude to her. Not to say she can’t take a joke, Dante doesn’t mind teasing from her friends even if it’s done in bad taste. She just hate sit when someone who doesn’t know her judges her physical or mental capabilities. She however is very hypocritical in judgment making an impression about someone instants after meeting them. There is very little room for doubt on whether she was wrong and it takes a lot to impress her. It is because of this that first impressions are very important if you want her to believe you’re not a complete moron.
Intelligence is of complete importance to Dante. If there is one thing she cannot stand in this world beside Werewolves it’s stupidity. She feels that anyone not capable of holding up an intelligent conversation is not only not worth her time but doesn’t deserve to live. It is because of this deep hatred for stupidity that Dante has gained an education in various different fields, learned several languages and studied several different forms of fighting. She considers herself to be a very well rounded individual. It is this that gives Dante an air of arrogance upon meeting her. She seems to think she is the best at what she does probably because there has been no one serious to challenge her. This arrogance is well founded and she doesn’t ever apologize for it. As she often says “If you have a problem with it prove me wrong.” She eagerly awaits the day she meets her equal for she is sure it will be epic.
Trust is something special and unique in Dante’s eyes. Not only is it something hard to gain but it is something she rarely gives to anyone. She feels weary of those that surround her and considers no one to be close. There is some deep rooted reason for this sense of impending betrayal probably stemming from her Uncle murdering her parents for their fortune. Despite the obstacles that Dante puts in between herself and others there is a part of her that longs for a connection. Love is a concept that intrigues Dante seeing as how she’s never felt it. Never looking to fall in love she is sure that things will change dramatically when she does. Until then should Dante decide to trust you the hardships do not end there. The only thing harder than gaining her trust is keeping it as every action is criticized as she searches for the one moment that you fail her. Once Dante is assured that you can be trusted she becomes a much softer person. Letting her true beauty shine through. If you should consider yourself so lucky as to join the exclusive list of people that she trusts cherish it.

†History:†
History:Dante’s history beginning decades before she was born. It was these events that in fact led to her life and the ultimate demise of her parents. The Valari family was a normal family not involved in either race but plagued with a curse of having only females in the family. This fact meant that no one was capable of carrying on the family name. Finally her great grandfather in a desperate attempt to save the family name made a deal with the a woman who claimed she could fix his curse if he married her daughter. Elluise agreed and divorced his wife to marry Belladona Vegal, a made vampire. Two years later an 83 year old Elluise bore two male children. Jasper Valari and Ciaran Valari. A human and a vampire, Elluise was disgusted at the turn of events and died without naming a proper heir. However, Belladona raised both children with love and care. Jasper and Ciaran lived a healthy though unusual life. When Ciaran realized his brother wasn’t aging and the differences between human and vampire became known he left his home enraged by the fact that both his mother and brother were monsters. It is unknown what happened to him. Meanwhile, Belladona dealt with the grief of loosing a son her brother Feon Vegal bore one child as well, Chase Vegal. In lieu of a tragic accident that killed both his parents he was sent to live with Belladona and Jasper.
Envy and distrust brewed between the two males. Jasper sure that he was to be named heir suddenly felt threatened by the possibility that his mother might give his inheritance to his cousin. Chase was aware of the growing tension and felt ill at ease in the home fearing for his life. Finally they both reached maturity and at 18 Chase decided to leave the family and make his own name wanting no part of the inheritance his adoptive mother was sure to leave. Jasper forgot all about his cousin and continued on his life marrying Beatrice Sinclaire a fellow vampire in 1900 at the tender age of 125. In 1909 in the midst of a terrible blizzard Beatrice Valari gave birth to their only child. A beautiful baby girl named Dante Mary-Lynette Valari.
On the other side of the world Chase, Jasper’s long forgotten cousin started making his way back to him. Chase had left the family only to run into bigger problems. He developed a gambling habit and that led into a nasty run in with some werewolves. He was turned when he was 23 and miraculously survived the nasty infection turning into a wolf the next month. Since then he had been living his life as a bum moving from town to town eating and killing things at his leisure. However he had been missing the life as a rich man and it was then that he remembered his past. Forgetting his vow to never return he began making his way back toward London.
It is now 1929 and Dante is 20 years old though physically she appears to be nine years old. She is witness to the murder of her parents by a werewolf. Escaping her home in order to save her life she lives on the streets for a total of six months, murdering seventeen men in the process and gaining enough money to start her life anew. She hires a nanny, Caroline whom takes care of her until she reaches maturity. Through all this time she developed and fine tuned her skills of torture. Killing men and women alike at her leisure leaving Caroline to take care of the bodies and mess afterward.
This went on for many years until Dante killed someone loosely related to Caroline. Her outraged nanny whom had only stood by her due to fear turned her in for the murders of close to 126 people. She was sentenced as an adult despite her young features. She looked about 16 at the time and was condemned to hang. She spent three months in prison before throwing a fit of boredom and killing most of her guards and inmates before escaping. She left London and was on the run for the next fifty years only returning to the city of her birth when chaos broke loose and the truth about her kind was revealed.
Though unknown it is thought that during this time away from home she dedicated her life to finding that werewolf that destroyed her potentially happy childhood. It was also during this time that her schooling and education became a priority. Upon returning she went looking for a job and finally found one that satisfied her lust for torture and blood and gave her respect from others.

†RP example:†
Chase watched her knowing her reaction before it took place. The exhilaration of the hunt brought back cherished memories and his body fell back into a familiar pattern. He could feel his prey stiffen up as she heard his voice the chills creeping up her spine were so real to him it was almost as if they were his own. He licked his lips her essence enticing him, waking the monster within him, a monster he was more than eager to release. He would wait until her eyes were on him, until there was a register of fear before striking. Waiting would only make his attack more feral, he was bloodthirsty, sense was starting to leave him and he was forgetting why he was waiting.
She turned slowly almost cautiously, the suggestion that she would survive past today was laughable. Venom surged in his mouth the closest one of his kind could get to salivating. His eyes traced her her frame keeping focus on her lips a while longer than he should have. His beauty was beginning to register and while that should have been the first sign that he wasn't human it was usually what helped captivate them. He hoped he would catch the scream in her throat letting only air escape through her lips. Those lips that held some form of comfort almost as if they were known to him.
Finally his body commanded that he look at her eyes, the moment to attack was upon them and he couldn't tear his eyes away from hers for a second. Her eyes, orbs of light that held all the secret to the world. His was surprised and he knew it registered on his face. The angel he had met moments prior stood before him in all her grace and beauty and splendor. The monster within him ached to attack and thrashed and burned fighting with reason. Against odds he knew her survival was minimal as the venom continued to surge. A wall of pain came crashing down as he realized what would happen. He wouldn't be able to deny the monster for much longer and warning her would mean nothing, there was no escape for either of them.
He inched forward against his own will, his body had succumbed to the hunger. All he could provide for her was a quick and painless death. He would be able to give her that and as much as he prayed that she would turn and run she didn't. Her feet moved forward bringing her closer to death. Another step another few feet and she would be in his arms her aroma much to much to handle. Then she spoke her voice awakening reason, the monster lurched as reason won.
The monster receded and his posture became more human like, his features softened. "Ask not what you can do for other but what others can do for you" he said softly. He wouldn't kill her, he decided, at least not until there was a better brighter future.
