Larunda Valdez Larunda has no pure recollection of her family, only really remembering blurs and scents from her long forgotten past. She remembered a brother though. She remembered his screams as he was killed by a vampire and the way his mouth, when he finally died, was frozen stiff with fear and his skin turned white from lack of blood. It was often the face that kept Larunda up at night, seeing as she survived whilst the rest of her family clearly didn't.
History: Larunda was born on the darkest of nights, the moon wasn't shining and the shadows danced along her mother's screaming body, the furs of their autumn's kills surrounding her mother and the tribe's witch-woman. The moment she was born, the witch woman cried with Joy, bowing before them and Larunda's mother was confused, until her gaze fell upon her baby daughter. The sight of the black around her eyes like a mask was standing out upon the paleness of her skin and tears rolled down her cheeks. The blessed one. The black ink around her eyes moved on her skin, forming the words of prophecies on a normal day but on the days Larunda hunts, the words will form the names of all of her kills; species of animals or the names of humans.
She was praised, looked after like a queen of the tribe, filled to the brim with magic that over-spilled on the days the sun danced on her marked skin. The days were good until the Witch Woman spoke to her, telling her of a prophecy that was on her left eyelid, telling her that she was the one who would join all the species together; werewolf, vampires and witches. She already tapped into the witch side and she needed to become the other two, to at least make peace between the species. Larunda felt the weight on her shoulders even at a young age but she remembered fire, a lot of fire on her tribe which killed her parents but her brother saved her. She ran towards the witch woman, who's house was surrounded in water after the fire had died down. She begged her to change her and her brother, asking for strength and speed and the ability to change form. She begged for the abilities to find peace within in the species.
The change was painful for the witch, the blood of a werewolf put into her veins and then she had to drink the blood of a vampire and then killed. She woke a few days later with her veins on fire, the thirst for blood strong as was the same with her brother who gasped loudly beside her. He called over to her, instantly holding her to comfort her as tears rolled down her face. They fixed their tribe until people heard about the news of a combined species. Vampires were displeased with this and attacked multiple times, destroying the tribe to the point the siblings left their home. Amongst Vampires, it's forbidden to drink from another vampire, only if they were bonded in matrimony. Larunda's brother was the victim in this sacred rule breaking, herself having been forced to watch and it broke her heart, but only strengthened her idea of bringing peace amongst the species. Whilst the Witch-Woman had only used two species in the initial transformation, she later found out that she had been injected wwith the blood of other species allowing her to have abilities of the other creatures.
Her family now completely gone. The time after her brother's death, she's not entirely sure about but she continued on, spreading the word that a prophet was amongst them trying to bring peace. Hundreds of years later, the ministry found her and asked for her mercenary skills but after only a year, she only did it on the side before becoming an agent in the Mysteries department, her old life ,before killing, of discovering prophecies and finding the ones who they belonged to. It was a life she treasured, something her late brother adored her for. Whenever she is at home, amongst the rest of her kind, she is a Queen and to this day, has a strong hold over every species and will often take part in their council, to help with any situation amongst them.
Appearance: Larunda back when she was in the tribe was worshipped for her strange markings, black ink like a mask upon her face that spewed words of the future and often just stories or the names of who and what she's killed in her lifetime. Although she'll never admit it, the name that startles her the most for appearing on her skin is her own brothers, remembering that she had nothing to do with his kill and it was a vampire's fault. She has blue eyes, startling against the blackened markings and her skin is ever so slightly tanned. Her hair is long, braids mixed in within the curls that had beads to signify all that she has lost. She wears different styles of clothing, depending on the situation but a key theme is crystals and runes that mean different things.
Personality: Larunda, when the person is nice, will be nice back but when someone is cruel and a bully, she had a violent temper. She has great control over her emotions and abilities due to having so many years to perfect her techniques in keeping herself under wraps. She's very intelligent, using this to help with her rule over other Hybrids, often referring them as her children due to being the hybrid of all. She's very protective over her loved ones but yearns for a family of her own, having lost hers many, many years ago.
