Distinguishing Marks: Versa has a tattoo on her lower back - she was born with it, along with the rest of the females in her family. It is symmetrical and somewhat resembles the medical caduceus, but has two additional prongs that appear to come from her tailbone. There are three small triangles in between. The tattoo glows only when Versa is in her full werewolf state.
Description: She wears very plain clothing; normally she wears a green long sleeved shirt with a white camisole underneath. Any solid colored shirt is fair game. She always, though, is wearing a black choker and bracelet on her left wrist, and a gold earring in the top of her right ear. These remain intact even through her transformation. Physically, she is tall and somewhat lanky, but somewhat muscular for her size. She is rather unfeminine in both appearance and behavior.

PERSONALITY

Overview: Versa is very introverted due to her condition. She trusts almost no one except for Zack, and does her best to hide her secret. Therefore, she tends to be quiet, but secretly revels in the power she possesses in her werewolf state. This sometimes causes her to be sadistic or to act with cruel intentions. In combination with her intelligence and complete lack of tolerance for idiots, Versa is very hot tempered. Only her extreme self-control due to hiding her secret prevents her from killing those that annoy her - literally.
Traits: Instinctive, smart, quiet, sarcastic, curious, and merciless.
Phobias: Incapability.
Favorite Colors: Cool colors, mainly green and blue
Favorite Scents: Evergreen, orange
Favorite Foods: Steak, chicken, salad, and red licorice
Strengths: She is very clever and curious, and consistently does well in school. Anything she attaches to she takes very seriously. Her sarcastic sense of humor is charming, depending on who you talk to. Versa also knows when to keep her mouth shut, so sometimes her shyness works to her benefit.
Weaknesses: Though she does have a lot of self-control, Versa's actions tend to be based on ulterior motives, which can sometimes distract her. She likes revenge and sometimes lets power get to her head. She also tends to alienate people based on first impressions or stereotypes.

FAMILY

Spouse: None
Children: None
Parents: Just her father, David Novak. Her mother, Antonia, was killed by a hunter when Versa was just a young girl.
Siblings: None
Pets: None

BACKGROUND

First Kiss: Not yet.
First Love: Zack Frazier. They're best friends.
Extras: David, Versa's father, struggles with the fact that his wife was murdered simply for what she was, so naturally he is very protective of Versa. Seeing as how she is still a young adult, Versa just wants to generally be left to "do her own thing" and gain her independence.
Story: Being in high school is tough enough. Being in high school and trying to keep an impressive family secret hidden is even harder.

Every female in Versa's family since the days of the Roman Empire (where her family originated) has had the ability to shapeshift when the full moon shines upon them - lycanthropy, in other words. In older times, the power was thought of as a curse, which was documented into a large book by respected members of the family. The book is an artifact and is handed down through generations of the werewolf lineage.

The curse is as follows. It has no special usage in modern times, but is saved and referred to for posterity.

femina pulchra, devovet tuam lunae
ibi fugit non est.
dominatus beneficiumque sequor noctem
et postquam versipellis everberat,
mors bonam existat.

(Beautiful woman, sacrifice yourself to the moon;
There is no escape.
Power and privilege follow the night
And after the werewolf strikes,
Death becomes a blessing.)

[Note: The Latin curse is, for one, changed from my original curse that I wrote, and two, most likely wrong in some places. I'm fascinated with the language, but I am only beginning my second year of learning it. I've just used what I know and some outside, but limited, resources, so forgive me if a few things are incorrect. If you have any corrections, feel free to note me.]
