Personality:
It’s all about being expressive with your gestures, and Vesper sure lives up to that. Vesper knows she can work herself to her own advantage, and she does so shamelessly. After all, looks were bestowed for a reason, weren’t’t they?
Vesper has flawless skin that blends perfectly with her dark brown hair which falls about her sculptured face wildly. Her face has a tendency to look soulful and brooding but can quickly light up when she is amused. She has a smile that she considers to be incandescent. When she does smile, her genuine smile,her wicked smirk often crosses her features especially when she has some kind of dastardly plan. That smile she bestows can make or break your day. Make it if it’s being directed at you, and break it by knowing you’ll never be on the receiving end of it.
Penetrating, incriminating, Vesper’s eyes are ever on guard. Though partially obscured by the colossal black spectacles she sports daily, the green orbs flecked with orange are probably her most outstanding feature. They are constantly roaming around their environments and seem to be indefatigable, as she is always scouring the area for interesting faces. She’s a person who is capable of evincing deep emotions with but a glance.
Morals? What are those? For Vesper they are just a bother, getting in the way of fun. Sometimes all you need to do is let go of a touch of your uptightness and you’ll end up having so much more than what you bargained for. At first sight, she might look like a girl with not a care in the world, but she has many layers, however. The first of which is just below the surface. Everytime you peel a layer, you will see a new and more profound side to her. Just above the surface she is seen as manipulative and confident.
For her whole life, Vesper has done things her way. Even as a young child who was neglected, Vesper always tried not to show her emotions, creating a facade around herself, because she hated to seem weak and docile. Hiding behind this shell, she is actually very insecure and tries to avoid relationships, since she finds it very hard to freely express her emotions.
On the outside, she can be quite manipulative and uses her looks to deceive people.She plays hard and knows how to twist people to work with her, so she can gain what she wants before she tosses them to the side.But underneath it all, she is scared, tired, and a bit vulnerable, but she refuses to admit it . She doesn’t trust anyone, and if she did, they may get a glimpse of that side, but the chances of that are very slim.
Since she was raised in the high society and class, Vesper had always known how to deal with the socialites she finds herself around. Apart from being book smart, she has a street smarts and is also very witty and savvy. She prides herself on her survival skills and tactical genius . She also has a very good sense of humor and is prone to snide remarks and small verbal shots at people that are often laced in sarcasm.
She is proud, feisty, and outgoing and has the opinion that she can do anything and get anything. She doesn't like losing and develops a sudden grudge when she is challenged directly or indirectly. Much like Eris, she is cunning and sly out to get you, but unlike her mother, she still has integrity and knows the consequences of her actions.
History: Vesper's grandfather, Salvador Vane, was the founder of the 'Falconi" mafia famiglia in Manhattan, well known and feared all around. He built the reputation from nothing (but with some help from the gods, of course). Later dying from old age, he nominated his first born son, Lex Vane, to be his successor at his death bed.
Lex was soon in control and doing business with other families. Unfortunately, his brother, Devon, was not too pleased with his father's choice and secretly planned to bring his brother down and the family to ashes. Since he couldn't have it, his belief was that no one else should.
Devon called upon Eris, one of the gods that helped build the reputation of the family to its peek. Who, unknown to him, had been in the midst of it all, observing and sparking a clash between the two brothers and cooking up a plan of her own out of pure boredom to start a feud that could entertain her as much as the Trojan war had. When Devon came to her, driven by anger, he presented the perfect opportunity for chaos.He wanted his brother out of the picture, and Eris some action.
With Devon, she manipulated Orazio the boss of the other family to initiate a battle. Orazio, after been told by a Eris, camouflaged as one of his men, that the Falconi had been behind the massacre of a group of his families- where Orazios's brother was found as a casualty. The novelty sparked the battle between the two families.
Lex was losing the feud, after been informed by his brother that he had called upon the power of the gods to put him in this position. Hurt and weakened, but instead of seeing his family lose and fall down at the feet of another family, he came to Eris as she had already foreshadowed and made a pact to secure the place of his family. Eris gave him the satisfaction of her promise and took his life, giving Devon what he wished for. But Devon was not pleased after realizing Eris had played him, and he was never going to be the head of the family. Upset with the negotiation and and the tricks the goddess played upon him, he cursed the gods sending a dark shadow upon the family.
But Devon was not preoccupied with the anger of the goddess, since his brother sacrificed his life for the position of his family. Unknown to him, his brother not only gave his life but also a daughter by Eris, who was given to Callisto (Lexi's wife)to look after and was to become the rightful owner of the family business.
...And here is where Vesper's story starts. Born under a bad sign all along, love for Vesper was limited. At the age of 6, the woman she thought was her biological mother died in her bed in the middle of the night. The doctors confirmed it was heart failure, but as gossip and rumors go along, " The oddity was that she was a healthy woman of barely 33 years. How had her heart have possibly stopped functioning?"
Her uncle, whom she had acquaintance, with but nothing more. Came into her life under this unfortunate condition. He become her legal guardian being her only family, and took over the mansion in which she lived.
As she matured physically and grew more knowledgeable of her family history, the hatred and spite for her uncle also grew. She knew he was just in for the money and power. She also became bolder and bored of the same pompous people that surrounded her and seeked for something more.
One evening, upon going to her room, she overheard her uncle talking to someone. The voice was strange to her ears; a woman's voice she never heard, which sounded ethereal and familiar in the back of her mind... and then she heard her own name mentioned. She connected the woman's voice with the one in her nightmares she kept having all this years. Then, she heard her uncle's anger rising in his voice and shouting the woman’s name "Eris!"
Now, she could give a name to the voice that kept hunting her nightmares. Her uncle had learned just how much of a threat Vesper, the daughter of Chaos, was to him. Vesper, hearing this, was caught by her uncle. Eris took her chance to meet Vesper personally and claim her. Her uncle, then, forbid her to talk about the events of the night.
After the revelation, the nightmares become worse. It now involved shadows out to get her, and things around her seemed different from the norm. Everyday, she felt uneasy, like she was being watched. The events of the week before were still very vivid and occupies much of her thoughts. On her twelfth birthday, all her preoccupation and paranoia came to a halt, and right infront of her face, as she was warned by Eris, she had become a monster magnet.
To escape her attackers, she had managed to destroy one building, set on fire the whole content, and also gave four policemen three broken ribs each. Her uncle told the authorities " Vesper is a deeply troubled teen..."and had found the perfect opportunity to get rid of Vesper. If he can't send her to a delinquent center, then a boarding school will do. And Half Blood Academy provided just that.
Abilities:
Power: Persuasion/ Manipulation & control- In short vesper is like a puppet master, she can manipulate people to do her biding. Assuming control and altering their emotions, feelings and motor functions against their will. Although this power works perfectly on animals, monsters and full humans, whom she‘s had a lot of experience using as guinea pigs. Demigods can only be enchanted to extent and usually she needs to touch her target to further retaliate. But it also depends on how mentally strong the person or thing is.
Words accentuate her orders, but her eyes are the source of the manipulation which dilatete becoming fully black but when the connection is broken the spell is as well. She can also control a group of people at the same time, creating a personal army, a very restraining and demanding job and a power that she can use in limitations, and in a short time lap since it takes a whole lot of energy. No matter what, wherever she goes she can create a riot causing disagreement and tension with words often preferring to observe her doings.
Note: this power works only on living things, or anything with a circuit or unit of control, still life objects are immune to the charm.
Vesper can also be like a bad luck aura, or jinx. She's doesn't work exactly like an unlucky charm ( even thought trouble comes looking for her). But small things like tripping someone off a ladder can trigger this power. Usually she can get out of sticky situations with the upper hand. Deflecting the blows ect. It works as a defence for her self.
Weaknesses: -Vesper is ambitious and confident. Her greatest assets are also her greatest flaws. She is narcissistic, proud, and wouldn't spare a minute for people she believes are below her.
-Usually the unlucky charm reverses making her prone to danger
Other Information: Like her mother she has quite a reputation for instigating drama.
