SPECIES ABILITIES
Andrea is half witch and half death angel so her powers are a little weird.
On the Death angel front, there is none of the all of the strengths and none of the weaknesses stuff. That is impossible to happen, this is real life not a Blade movie, and this is dealing with a race that generally messes up when mixed with other DNA. She has the wings but she got them late at the age of ten and her bones are not hollow so even if her smaller then average wings grow big enough to support her, she can only glide for short distances. Her scythe is generally summoned randomly and if at all, unless it is Nyx who can summon it most of the time she wishes it. And the robe, only Nyx, Lyess or Dayna can use it. Andrea can't and she is always wondering why her clothing slowly stains to black and inconsistently too. All of them can occasionally use offensive death angel powers but needless to say, the offensive personalities are usually the only ones who remember the experience.
On the witchy front, yes she is a necromancer. It was more luck than anything, her brother was clairvoyant. Or perhaps not luck. Due to her witch side, she is not immortal in the death angel way, she has a fated spot she doesn't know about which will kill her. Only Andrea can't see ghosts but the other personalities can. Because of their blood, theoretically they could control a weaker vampire but none of them could even consider that let alone doing that. They are inexperienced with it. They are weak to gold and they do not have any other special powers of the death angels or the witches. Except the cat but... well... It's a cat, aside for showing andrea's emotion, being a way to hurt her and a storage for her magic it isn't anything really.
PATIENT TYPE Volens
MENTAL DISORDER: Dissocative Identity Disorder
SYMPTOMS
Dissocative Identity disorder is known by the more layman name of Multiple Personality Disorder. In general, the symptoms of this are blacking out while another personality takes control and acting like a completely different person. As well, when Andrea returns, she doesn't remember what happens. How she acts depends on which personality is out.
Lyess is the insane personality. She is literally nuts, either because of whatever memory she holds that formed her or simply because there has to be madness somewhere for a death angel. Either way, the best description of lyess is a homicidal five year old. She has irrational and sometimes rational fears. She acts very innocent except for the times when she decides to 'play' with someone and paint with the 'pretty red paint' oozing from their body. How she acts is usually quite random but in general she can't be trusted alone.
Nyx is the cool one. She has a cool head and is inhuman in mannerism. this is meant literally and not figuratively. When she moves, it is smooth and silent. No action is unnecessary and therefore every action of hers is eerie. Most people at least fidget in a chair but she will stay perfectly calm just watching you like a statue until it is necessary to do something. She has no qualms with killing someone and is generally considered the death angel personality. She occasionally does show emotion, especially if a male tries to touch her, but these occurrences are rare.
Dayna is a very child-like personality. A counterpart of Lyess, she is childish but older. She seems to do a lot of caring for people. While andrea is more attached to music, she is more attached to reading and dealing with people. she knows quite a lot about how people will react but can be quite naive. It is when this naive view of the world is broken that she switches out only to come back the same cheerfully smiling person as before.
TRIGGERS Violence against her, sexual advances and... anything she pretty much can't handle.

OTHER: Michelle Harren, adoptive mother
HISTORY:
Andrea and Eric were born outside the city of Black Springs. Their parents are unknown, the twins having been unceremoniously dumped at a street corner like a classic movie plot. Andrea as a baby was crying all night before a woman who worked at an orphanage noticed and decided to take care of the twins. Of course, things being as they were, adoption was not a natural occurrence in a town where it is hard to know what is what but especially with two kids who no one knew the race of. Although Eric showed signs of clairvoyance, neither of the twins would let themselves be adopted or taken in by someone else without the other. They were very close to each other, with Andrea often times talking for Eric while he hid. He was very people shy while Andrea was better with dealing with them.
When Eric was nine, he was the first one to manifest the death angel wings. Since Andrea and Eric were very close to the other kids at the orphanage, all of them saw it when Eric's wings ripped out of his back. Andrea was quite worried and protective of him, it was only when the matron came that she let people go near, as the matron cleaned off the wings. The female twin, being the obnoxious brat she was at that point, poked him in the wings several times. But got worried when he wasn't responsive. In fact, his whole responsive ability was gone. For days at a time he would suffer from catatonia where Andrea would have to feed him and make sure he would do stuff with occasional days of clarity.
But these clarity days were not the sort one would expect. He would hide behind Andrea, writing words on her back to communicate with people, almost as though he was terrified to look at people or speak to them. He was fine with manual work when he was outside of his lack of movement times but inside his lack of movement times, it was only andrea's voice that could get him to at least move a bit. When Andrea was ten, on one of Eric's clear days, her wings came through. But unlike Eric's wings, which had the chance to grow out to a better length, andrea's didn't. Also unlike Eric, her wings were solid, she was incapable of flying. Although she was the stronger twin, she could only watch him fly and sometimes glide alongside him after she built her wings up for a few days.
Eventually, she decided she needed to make ends meet, so while getting the legal job of amateur DJ alongside her school career as an excuse, she illegally did some running for a few gangs. The last day of her running, when she planned to quit, she went to leave and her brother grabbed her sleeve. His eyes then widened and he told her "don't go". Unfortunately, she didn't listen. When Andrea got home, she was bleeding, covered in blood. Her brother, who had gone out after her a few minutes after she left, was nowhere to be found. the outgoing Andrea who returned wasn't the same though. She was calmer, more innocent and just strictly the DJ..
She went to the library sometimes and brought back books on witch craft. She bought herself a silver wand with no other decorations after saving up a bit. After that the cat appeared but Andrea always addressed it by her twin's name rather than a unique name, almost unaware it wasn't Eric. Also, she would switch to completely different behaviors. It was so unsettling that andrea was sent to the asylum.
PERSONALITY:
Andrea has split personalities and thereby, is incomplete. What's complete about her? Well... for that you have to understand what stereotype she seems to understand and then hear the other personalities. What is known is this Andrea is the stereotypical DJ. She is a B student in school and tends to enjoy music. Does she enjoy anything else? She likes reading but that is where interests and personality traits become hazy. She is fond of animals and cleanliness. She enjoys people being kind to her and she is kind to them back. If someone is being mean to her, she will just shrug them off, if they don't get uninterested then one of her other personalities will come out. She is slightly aware she is a death angel but unaware of her witchiness.
She is terrified of the concept of herself being a death angel so her powers are hidden to her for her sanity. Although she can still hear the beats of the personalities as they take her place. Nyx the tapping of metal, Lyess the heart beat and Dayna giggling. She is aware she is missing memories but she simply seems to accept it because that is how she is supposed to be. She still has nervous points though, which is why she actually does tell her shrinks what is wrong with her. She has an easy trust for authority figures that the other personalities lack.

RP Sample[/b] [/size]
The day was bright as Andrea was allowed out of her room for once. It had been a couple days since she had gotten here and a lot of work but she had been able to prove that she was not dangerous... Although for some reason she had the dangerous title still. Not only did the girl have no clue why she was here, she also was considered to be dangerous for no reason she was sure of. It was almost enough to make the gentle girl cry as she was escorted to the art room by two guards, walking in line with them as they kept to both sides of her for most of it or one in front of her and one behind when people needed to pass in the halls. Almost except for the cautious creeping around of Eric nearby. Andrea smiled at Eric. Although she wasn't particularly happy when she discovered he was here, she was happy to not be alone and to at least be with her brother. Even if he was too shy to handle attention by most people at this point in time.
It was all because of that nasty gang. Andrea scowled at the thought of them. It was her fault they had gotten involved with them but now because of them Eric didn't speak and was shy besides... She felt immensely guilty for it but also quite angry. She didn't have the resources to take revenge nor the urge to. She wasn't a violent person and her mother had sent her here so she needed to hide things better. She lightly hummed as she walked, trying to cheer herself up since she was in a good mood about being able to leave her room for once. In fact, she was happy enough to even skip, which was unusual but as the guards discovered, was something Andrea did. When she entered into the art room, the guards waited outside so she was one of the few there and just seemed like a normal patient.
Like others, she was drawn by the artist in the room. This lovely black haired girl with blue streaked hair was painting a scene of a lake where the girl sat. It had such a large sense of melancholy and somehow rage. Since she had taken the area beside the girl for her own painting, she had perfect access to watching the girl paint. She was going to comment on it when this boy did it instead. a group had surrounded the other girl and by proxy her. Andrea watched the situation unfold, wanting to get involved but for some reason utterly terrified. Some deep part of her seemed to struggle. As Tyler continued the sexual harassment to Namine, Andrea covered her head and let out a whine. But it sounded quite animalistic as it passed from her lips although she tried to be as quiet as possible so as not to draw the attention of the people.
One of the girls noticed this and came over to the brown haired girl as Namine was being dragged out. "What's wrong? This bothering you?" She taunted "I heard about you... You apparently killed two guards when coming in. Don't think rumors means you can get out of this."
The fidgeting stopped and the girl seemed unusually stiff. The green eyed girl who had come over to taunt Andrea became nervous when her target became like a statue. Then a hand struck out to the girl's neck while the other went to the top of the girl's head. Nyx's eyes were deadly cold as she dealt with this bully who had taunted them and pulled her hair, making the bully's knees drop to the ground. Muscles that weren't usually visible thanks to the dresses Andrea wore were more realized as Nyx was able to hold this blonde haired girl down. "Be lucky it was me who came out, Lyess would've painted the wall with your blood if she had come out and she nearly did come out due to how much the situation was bothering Andrea." Nyx told her cooly, scary in that it wasn't a threat but an honest point by the assassin like personality. "Where is that boy taking her?"
After hearing where Namine was being taken, Nyx just dropped the crying, sobbing girl. None of the others wanted to touch her and those that were contemplating it saw Nyx looking at them with the dead eyes and left her alone. She snuck out of the room, heading for the supply closet. Unlike Andrea, she had paid attention to their surroundings and knew where it was but even if she didn't, she knew where the painter was by the screams. The statue esque girl shook her head, wondering where the high risk guards were at this time. She then went over to where they were lightly. She seemed not at all a threat by the first glance due to the rather innocent and young look of the body but Tyler didn't get a second chance to look as Nyx grabbed his hand. Then Nyx twisted in a painful way that made him bend sharply, following the hand, which was hurting like a bastard due to the hold.
The personality gave a shiver. She didn't like touching males even when she had to fight them for more than necessary but she wanted to make sure Namine was alright. "Quiet you." She directed coldly and emotionlessly to the boy before turning them so she could see Namine and addressed her. "Are you alright? This scum didn't manage to actually do anything to you did he?" Despite how cold she seemed talking to Tyler, when Nyx talked to Namine, she tried to put emotion in it. So when she was talking to Namine, she showed genuine concern asking about the girl and EXTREME disdain at the mention of Tyler. Almost as though he had done as much a personal slight to her as to Namine, including the fact that Nyx had to touch him to make sure he didn't go after the artist again. She already saw Namine had a cut on her cheek from something but Nyx was worried about other injuries.
