the puppet master .

[/b] and i guess i have some pet names but that's the name i like. anyways, i've been pulling these strings for seven years and you don't know how many puppets i've made dance. it's hard when we're all on these different times, and so you know that i'm not some lunatic who's never on, i'm on pacific northwest so there you are! oh, right, i almost forgot! sometimes you can catch me impersonating nobody yet and i'm loving it too! you need proof of my puppetry skills? fine! i swear, you're gonna be amazed, though.

Aspen found herself not quite sure what to do about Zach. She had always assumed that it was just over, and they would go their seperate ways and she would never see him again. She had never gotten around to anulling the marriage- perhaps it was on the hope that Zach would ride in on a white horse and mend her broken heart with sobriety and apologies. She didn't want to admit to herself that she loved him still. No, she had too much backbone to admit that she still cared about the man who had hurt her so many times. Everytime he yelled at her, everytime she rolled over in the morning to give affection and was pushed away, they all broke her heart a little bit, crack by crack until she couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't keep letting him break her heart over and over again, and then of course there was the final straw where he very nearly put her in the hospital. Aspen wasn't a big woman. She stood at all of about five foot three and wighed in at around 112 pounds. She couldn't defend herself against somebody as big and strong as Zach. More than bruises and cuts, it broke her heart to know that somebody that she had loved so much could do something like that to her. Seeing him now, having all those warm and painful feelings flood back to her made her so confused. She wasn't weak. She wasn't going to come crawling back just because he wanted her. She was fighting her feelings, treading carefully. The very last thing she wanted to do was get into another abusive relationship with him, go back and have her heart broken all over again. She couldn't handle it, and she would not let herself be a victim again.

Neatly, she recrossed her legs, brushing blond curls back behind her ears. She wasn't sure why she was here, exactly. She was never really much of a dancer. Especially now. Other men didn't interest her- she simply did not want them. She wasn't interested in their stupid lines or their hands on her body. It made her feel weird and uncomfortable and like a big cheater, considering she was still legally married to Zach. She knew that she should step up and get the marriage taken care of, but she couldn't bring herself to finalize it. Just like she couldn't bring herself to take off the ring. It was an odd mixture of feelings- the warm residue of the love she had felt for him mixed with the fear she had for him. He had hurt her so many times, he would have to prove himself to her big time before she would consider letting him back into her heart. She wasn't even ready to talk to him yet. Not about 'it'. It was hard, and she didn't want his apologies unless he was going to prove to her that he meant them. One thing was for sure- if there was ever any chance of them being together again, she wouldn't put up with anything. One drop, one drunk night and that would be it. She had promised herself over and over again that she would never let him hurt her again, that she would stand up for herself. A backbone seemed to be something she had aquired in her time at Manna, and it was something that she found herself utilizing more and more. She wasn't a young girl who allowed herself to be walked all over anymore. No, she was a woman who could stand up for herself and didn't take other people's crap. She considered it quite the accomplishment.

The man's lines made her very uncomfortable. She didn't want him. She didn't want his company or his sweet talking. She would rather just be left to herself, her and her drink. She wasn't looking for a date or a man, although she supposed going to the club by herself was kind of asking for it. No, she didn't want him anywhere near her, not hitting on her or sitting with her. She was polite, though, and unsure how to put him off without being outright rude and telling him to get away. She supposed that he was just talking to her, and that wasn't altogether bad. She shied away from him a bit, absently stroking Zip's wings where he perched on her upper thigh, legs all tucked up beneath him. She wasn't quite sure what to say to assuade the man, make him go bother some other defenseless girl here by herself. "Im sorry, but I'm really not looking for company tonight. I was just going to have a drink and leave, actually." A lame excuse, to be sure. Who came to a club to have one drink by themselves and leave? Well. Aspen had never planned on staying long. She just needed to get out, and because she really wasn't a drinker, the margarita was more to keep her hands occupied and give her an excuse not to dance than because she was enjoying the booze. She had never been a drinker, drank very little throughout her whole life. If she was going to drink, it would be one margarita or a glass of wine, and never more than one. Drunk, specifically sloppy drunk, was so unattractive and Aspen aspired never to be that. Especially after seeing what it did to the man she loved. She searched for some excuse to get up and leave. Somebody she knew and could pretend she had important things to say to them, somebody who she could pretend to be interested in. Anything. She came up with a blank, except for one painfully familiar face in the corner. She didn't want to talk to Zach. It wasn't bad enough for her to call on him. After all, it was just conversation. Harmless conversation.

November Twenty third, nineteen fifty six.

--- * GENDER :

( * MIRROR, MIRROR, ON THE WALL THIS IS HOW A HERO FALLS )
appearances are everything and nothing .

[/font]

[/color] PLAY BY :
Jessoca Stroup
--- * BODY TYPE :
She's very thin, although not in such a way that she looks underweight or sickly. She has curve to her, nicely shaped hips and a small waist although her legs are quite thin. She's naturally thin and will probably always remain tiny unless she picks up horrendous eating habits.
--- * HEIGHT & WEIGHT :
Although she hasn't stood up to measure herself recently, the last she checked she was approximately five foot three and one hundred and fifteen pounds.
--- * HAIR :
Her hair is long and thick, reaching down to touch the bottom of her shoulderblades. It's a rich brown color, could be seen as black in bad lighting. It has a slight wave to it, making it appear fuller and thicker.
--- * EYES :
Her eyes are a stunning blue color, pure and almost icy. They're bright and draw a lot of attention to her face. They slant very slightly, and are graced with long eyelashes.
--- * UNIQUE FEATURES :
Although Sephora doesn't have any wings to speak of aside from a slight shimmer near her shoulderblades, she does have two blue green fairy wings tattooed on her back. They're large enough to see the details, but not so large as to take up her entire back. She has a long thin scar on her left thigh from falling out of a tree when she was a child.
--- * SHORT OVERALL :
Sephora is somebody who moves with a lot of grace. Her frame is small, her legs are long and that allows her to move fluidly. Although she is very petite, her body has a pleasing curved shape to it, allowing for wider hips and a tiny waist. The biggest flaw on her flesh would be the scar. It's the only lasting mark she's ever had. She's a bright-eyed girl, drawing attention to her face and her small button nose. Full lips sit below that, giving her a sensual look. One might describe her as tiny. She thinks her tattoo is one of the nicest things about her body.

[/color] PARENTS :
Vienna Annet Liette, 96, member of the argentum court
Alecan Johnathan Liette, 103, member of the argentum court
--- * SIBLINGS :
She was an only child.
--- * LOVERS :
the only 'lover' she ever really had is Apollo.
--- * PETS :
n/a
--- * OVERALL HISTORY :
With both of her parents as members of the Argentum Court, Sephora was raised in a fairly normal way. Unlike the Atra, she was raised with firm morals and a strong sense of right and wrong. She was a well behaved child for the most part, although the fact that she was so stubborn and never seemed to know whens he should keep her mouth shut bit her in the ass more than once. Mostly it caused her trouble in school because they didn't understand her personality. Her parents were a little bit more lenient when their daughter was lippy or stubborn. She did just fine in school and proved herself to be rather on the intelligent side. Sephora wanted to make something of herself and prove that she was smart, so she worked hard to get good grades and then to go on to high school and continue to prove herself. She was so determined to make something of herself.

Somewhere along the way, Sephora became lenient with things that she should have kept a better eye on. She should have guarded her deepest secret more, but she was lax and it cost her when one of the Atra, Apollo, learned of her full name. It was what led to her enslavement by him. She was understandably terrified, having been raised as a good, moral and intelligent Argentum. She was so sheltered, so naive that she didn't evem understand the gravity of her situation until she realized that he could make her do anything he wanted her to. Absolutely anything and she didn't know what to do about it. She was totally trapped. Sephora still isn't really sure what to do about her situation. She doesn't even know what she can do- should she just make the best of it or do her very best to get the hell out of there and back home where she belongs? Understandably, It threw her whole life off kilter. She was planning to go on and be something, be important. She wanted to prove to the world that she was smart and she was somebody and now she was in this mess. She's so unsure about how she feels for Apollo. It depends on the day whether she is happy to obey or sullen (although she doesn't have a choice to obey or not, so she may as well make the better of it). She feels so lost and naive, thrown into a world full of the darker things that she was so sheilded from. She didn't know about changelings and how human babies were frequently swapped out with sickly fae babies. It was a hard thing for her to swallow, that the whole world wasn't all flowers and sunshine. She didn't know how she had been so ridiculously sheltered. She misses her mother and her father deeply, but she isn't stupid enough to think that things will magically go back to the way they were. No, Sephora knows she's stuck making the best of her situation.
