personal information
PERSONALITY
➳ first and foremost, it is imperative that one remembers that when dealing with drew, they are dealing with a hardcore rebel. she absolutely hates being told what to do, and often times, she'll do the opposite just to spite a person. she believes in freedom, including freedom of speech, so drew is also someone who will never hold her tongue. she speaks her mind, regardless of the consequences.
aside from the fact that she is the epitome of a badass female protagonist in any supernatural novella, drew is also a very kind person, as well as affectionate. speaking her mind also refers to being honest about her feelings, and while she doesn't really consider herself an emotional person, she can definitely shower people with affection when she gets close to a person. considering the fact that she has trust issues, however, getting close to a person is something that's not so easy for her.
drew likes to believe she's very funny. her voice tends to ooze sarcasm more often than not, and while she's plenty street smart, she's not so much book smart. mainly because school -- or rather, academics -- bores her to no end. drew is very friendly, and loyal almost to a fault, but despite the fact that she tends to appear charming and undeniably cute to anyone she comes across, she is incredibly vicious when she gets angry, even resorting to getting physical whether or not the occasion calls for it. because she's a tiny thing, she can easily be held back, but her words cut deep and she isn't afraid to hold back, especially if someone threatens a friend or loved one.
all in all, drew's a very interesting character. sure she has her... issues, with temper and the fact that she can never keep her mouth shut for the life of her, but at the end of the day, she's the artsy girl with nothing but good intentions toward those that treat her loved ones well.
LIKES
➳ art | photography | drawing | painting | museums | classical rock | cars | anything vintage | coffee | horror movies | halloween | grunge | punk rock | loud music | animals of all kinds | justice -- by her own standards | winning an argument
DISLIKES
➳ being told what to do | murder | abuse | most hunters | rich snobs | bullies | inattentive parents | jitters | feeling restless | sappy romance movies | spoilers | being wrong | failure | threats | losing those close to her | silver
HABITS
➳ bites her nails a lot | taps her fingers restlessly against various surfaces | talks to herself | can often be found lost in her own thoughts, meaning a lot of times, what she says doesn't make sense to others.
TALENTS
➳ hunting | her aim is usually quite impeccable since her main weapon of choice is using double edged daggers or throwing knives | painting/sketching
FEARS
➳ deep water || on one occasion, when drew was captured by a hunter, she was immersed in an ice bath and prevented from coming out. this brought out a terrible fear of deep or large bodies of water. she can hardly go close to a river without wanting to keep at least a couple of feet of distance between her and it.
➳ losing her loves ones || there aren't many loved ones to begin with, which is probably why drew is so protective of them in the first place. she doesn't know what she would do if she were to lose her brother or her father.
➳ her ex boyfriend || though she would never admit it aloud, she's terrified of encountering him again, even if she said that the next time would be the last time. (ahem, meaning she would kill him).
MENTAL AILMENTS
➳ nothing has properly been diagnosed, since drew will always refuse to see anyone about it, but she exhibits signs of ptsd, considering all of her past encounters with the supernatural world as well as hunters. drew also has seasonal depression, usually around christmas time, because a year ago, at that time, was when her dog bodhi was killed by her ex boyfriend.
MEMORABLE QUOTES
background information
SPECIES
➳ half human, half djinn
ABILITIES
➳ as drew is only half a djinn, she is not capable of all the things her mother can do. she can, to an extent, make people have hallucinations, though she cannot always control whether what they see is good or bad. while her mother is skilled with telepathy, drew is just exceptionally good at reading people. she can't directly read minds and hear people's thoughts in her head, but she just somehow seems to know what people are thinking -- this only applies when she's talking to someone though. she can't tell what someone is thinking if they're at the other end of a room or further but sometimes voices just jump into her head and she can't tell who they belong to or where they come from. she also, to an extent, has some pyrokinesis, but it isn't normal fire. her fire is blue, mimicking the powers of her mother, and this power is much more volatile than her other abilities. much like scott has trouble shifting when he's angry, she has trouble controlling her fire power when angry.
WEAKNESSES
➳ djinns, like werewolves, can easily be harmed by silver. this is really the only metal that works against them, aside from iron. it dampens their powers and basically makes them human and vulnerable, while trapped under either of the two substances. additionally, salt is another kind of barrier for djinns. much like the way mountain ash prevents another supernatural from entering or leaving a space, salt can have that effect on djinns instead. it is unclear what else can affect djinns as the species is a rare one, and drew only knows of these based on what's been tested on her. as far as she knows, she is immune to a werewolf bite, immune to kanima venom, immune to mountain ash, and immune to wolfsbane.
FATHER + RELATIONSHIP
➳ julian arturo marseille | father | human | alive | drew adores her father and she's definitely a daddy's girl. he was a little taken aback by her mother's sudden disappearance from their lives after drew was born but he raised her well and loved her to bits. he is still currently unaware of drew's abilities.
MOTHER + RELATIONSHIP
➳ kalienne sonara | mother | djinn | status unknown | drew never knew her mother while growing up and she only met the woman when she was in middle school, for a brief period, to learn about her true heritage, before her mother disappeared from town again. drew has always resented her mother for not being around and resents her more after she just leaves drew with these powers she can't control and with no further explanation.
SIBLINGS + RELATIONSHIP
➳ joshua matthias marseille | older half brother | human | alive [23] | though her older brother was born from another woman -- who died shortly after giving birth -- joshua treats drew like she's the same blood as him, which she is, half of. they are very close, but also annoy each other to no end, as most siblings do. he is the only one in her family who knows about her abilities and her true heritage since he was the first one she told. he attended the police academy, so is a certified officer, but shortly after drew finished middle school, he joined her in her hunting endeavours, not wanting her to be alone.
FRIENDS
➳ drew has made a couple of friends through hunting. either people she's saved or people that have helped her in the various towns that she's travelled to. she considers them all to be very dear to her but she has no close friends, as such. nobody besides her brother.
EXES
➳ nathan travers | ex boyfriend of five months | whereabouts unknown | drew met nathan when she had just finished middle school. she entered high school, was on the verge of turning fourteen years old and was still trying to control her powers, and nathan was a handsome guy, a year older, and had a good way with words. drew was immediately smitten. one date turned to more, and eventually they became a couple. it was only after that, that drew realised who nathan really was. he tried to force her into intimate encounters, which she constantly said she wasn't ready to do, until one day, he just wouldn't take no for an answer. after forcing himself on her, any time she tried to say no, he would hurt her, and drew was conditioned to believe that maybe he could change. that maybe this was a result of her being a djinn and that it wasn't all bad. but her brother eventually noticed the marks and realised what was up. drew left town with her brother shortly after this and has no idea what became of nathan.
ENEMIES
➳ anyone that poses a threat to her or anyone around her that are innocent. especially hunters.
PETS
➳ she used to have a dog named bodhi, but he was killed by her ex boyfriend at the time during one of his anger episodes.
BACKSTORY
➳ drew was born in france, to a loving father, an adoring step brother, and a mother who she never saw the face of from the moment she was born. shortly after she turned eight, her father moved the whole family to england, once he pursued a better job there. drew lived and studied there for a few years, till she turned twelve and her mother came visiting. it was at this time that drew was realising there was something different about her, because when she got angry, her hands started to heat up. when she spoke to people sometimes, they remarked how things were happening around them when actually, nothing was happening at all. drew's mother explained all of this to her, and why it was happening, and then vanished from drew's life yet again, after just a ten minute encounter.
this left drew quite shaken since she had all these abilities she had no clue how to use. she told her brother who tried helping her, but they ultimately decided to hide it from everyone else, including their father. drew tried to go on with her life, and soon transitioned into high school where she continued to maintain her anger so she didn't have any nasty outbursts related to fire. that was when she met nathan and things went further downhill. after her brother found out, he suggested to their father that he move to the united states to take up a police job, and take drew with him, for a change of scene, since she was unhappy there -- and above all, scared -- and their father, though saddened by the prospect, agreed.
drew and her brother joshua came to live in a small village in illinois, where drew rejoined high school, but her heart wasn't in it. in that town, however, she noticed supernatural activity. in particular, she witnessed a hunter after a werewolf, late one night. unable to not do anything, because it reminded her of how helpless she had been when she was with nathan, she stepped in, sending the hunters an illusion. drew does not know what they saw. she only knows that she was feeling fear and hatred, and that seemed to reflect in them, because they were screaming, clawing at their eyes, and trying to run away. the werewolf was allowed to flee, and drew felt like she found her calling. instead of attending school, she began hunting. only not just hunters, but other supernaturals as well. anything that posed a threat to another human or supernatural.
her brother eventually found out she wasn't going to class -- not to mention she was coming home bruised again and he thought she had landed herself in another toxic relationship. when she finally came clean, joshua decided to join drew in her hunting expeditions and at the age of fifteen, drew became one of the most well known supernaturals in the country, mainly for her work in taking down a mass number of hunters and supernaturals at once, with the help of her brother. she gained a lot of skills on the job, and learned not to control her anger in such situations, so her fire power definitely came in handy. of course, being so famous meant she was also high on a wanted list, and she has been captured multiple times, and tortured. her time with nathan made her stronger, of course, and she was able to withstand it, to an extent, before her brother came in and helped her escape, if she hadn't managed to do it on her own by then. it is to be noted, however, that even though she tries to remain calm and collected through these encounters, she still suffers a lot after it, because of her ptsd. nevertheless, she doesn't stop her work, and to this day, she and her brother continue to be known as the 'unstoppable hunting duo'. also commonly referred to by hunters as 'the witch and her bitch'.
