Name: Letizia 'Leti' Bianchi
Age : 19
Gender: Female
Hometown/Nationality: New York, NY, Italian American
Power: time manipulation (still manifesting/highly uncontrollable)
Likes/Dislikes: Loves to run. Likes fruit, especially peaches. Enjoys dancing. Hates yelling and loud noises. Highly dislikes licking envelopes. Doesn't like fish, shrimp, or crustaceans (for food).
Special Skills: She's an excellent chef and she took 6 years of ti kwan do.
Physical Description:
Leti takes good care of her long, red hair. Its the one thing she has of her birth father. Her greenish grey eyes, on the other hand, are a perfect clone of her mother's. Before the search for the vampires and shape-shifters began, Leti was very into the 'goth' scene. Some hints of that can still be seen in her style, but recently, she dresses more for comfort and practicality than fashion. After all, its hard to hide a dagger in a skin tight corset.
Personality Description: Before her mission began, Leti was a very go-your-own-way, do-what-you-wanna-do type of girl. She was in the middle of a serious rebelious streak, highlighted by an extreme attitude problem. Her mother and step-father gave up trying to control her years ago when she took a serious nose dive into the city's underground gothic scene. Despite what her parents think, has always been very straight edge, actively avoiding drugs and alcohol. Deep down, underneath yhe layers of black eye liner and fish net tights, she's actually a very caring girl.
After her grandmother's death, Leti receded deep into her shell. Being given such a big burden scared her to the core. As it became more apparent that she had to do the task she was given, something inside her finally snapped and she found the strength and courage she never new she had. Now, her strong will and determination are her two strongest character traits.
History: Until the age of 15, Leti was a very driven, academic well behaved girl. She lived comfortably with her parents and her younger brother, always feeling a little out of place, but never understanding why. That year, she gathered her paperwork to apply for a passport. Her parents bought her a trip to Europe for her 16th birthday. It was then that she found out the truth.
Her birth certificate revealed that the man she knew as her dad was not actually her biological father. Leti found out that her real father was a ginger headed pizzaria owner her mother use to date. She left for europe, still so angry with her parents, and came back a totally different girl. At first her mom and the man she now distainfully refered to as 'step-dad' played it off as a phase. Then they tried punishing her, and when that didn't work, they simply gave up trying to control her and left her alone.
It wasn't until her grandmother got deathly ill that she started to calm down. It was around the same time that her powers started to manifest. It started with accidentally freezing time during an argument with her mother. Then she found herself fast forwarding through math class. On her deathbed, Leti's grandmother revealed her secret power: clairevoyance, as well as sharing with her the last premonition: a vision of vampires and shape shifters. After the initial insecurity and fear, Leti finally took initiative and began recruiting others with powers for the opposition.

Writing Sample:
Leti held tight to her grandmother's hand, barely holding back the tears that were fighting to break through. Her family stood around her like they had been for... god only knows how long. Her grandmother had already passed on, but Leti couldn't make herself let go. Couldn't believe that she was gone. And after putting such a heavy burden on her shoulders.
Her grandmother's last hour replayed in Leti's head. At first, she had thought her grandmother had finally lost it. She was going on and on about Vampires and Shapeshifters, like that kind of thing existed. It wasn't until her grandmother told her something she couldn't possibly know that Leti believed her. She knew about Leti's powers. The fast-forwarding, the time-freezing... Suddenly, her story didn't seem quite as unbelievable.
Leti felt her grandmother slip away. Silently, she begged her powers to work... To freeze time forever and keep her grandmother alive... But it didn't happen. She slipped away with one final request. Leti couldn't believe that her grandmother would ask her to go against something like this. Finally, she finally let go of her grandmother's hand and stood up, unsure if she had the courage to do what she was asked.
