We will gladly accept you with open arms, but first... what is your name?"[/style]

Awkwarly sitting in her chair, Harmony scratches the back of her neck. "This is wierd .." soft spoken she bit her bottom lip, eyes flutterinng around the office before answering. "By birth my name is Harmony Dominique Boyd .." her voice trailed off a bit, as if she was unsure of her own name. She shifts, pushing a stray piece of blond hair from her eyes before continuing. "I'm seventeen years old, I'll be turning 18 on January first," she offers a weak smile, looking down as the woman scratches some things on her paper. "My .. appearance? Can't you just take a picture?" she protests lightly, but after a stern look sifts awkwardly once more in her seat. She is clearly unformfortable where she is, but Harmony complies.

"I'm a tiny person, I guess. I stand about 5'5 weighing about 120 pounds. My father use to tell me I look like a fairy," smiles lightly at the memory, fingers entwining on her lap. "I have long blond hair and my eyes .. those are my most distinct feature. One is blue and one is green. My build isn't athletic by any means, I actualy kind of look sickly. At lest that is what I've been told. But it's not that I don't eat I just am small by nature. you should see my parents they are tiny too. I mean my mom - " pauses, laughing a bit before looking down. "Sorry, I'm rambling. You don't need to know any of that, do you?"

{style=width: 501px; background-color: 141414; font-size: 10px; padding: 5; font-family: garamond; color: 7a6252; text-transform: uppercase; text-align:justify; letter-spacing: 1; border-top: 10px solid #0f0f0f; border-bottom: 10px solid #0f0f0f;}"Nice to meet you! Now, before we can accept you, we must know what your records are. Can you tell them to me, please?"[/style]

Shifting again Harmony looks as though she has seen a ghost, the thought of her past bringing up the most unpleasant memories. "I .. uh .." she starts, clearing her throat, fishing for the right words to say. She didn't have the slightest idea how to start what she was about to say. "I grew up in a small suburban town in Maine. My parents weren't rich but they weren't poor. We got along really well actually, which was nice. I never had to be embarrassed about my upbringing, not that I ever would have been. I had - have - the best parents. They were always so supportive and just to my siblings and I. I have two brothers, one two years younger and one 3 years older. I was the middle the child but it didn't make any difference, my parents treated us all the same. They loved us equally," she started, smiling lightly.

"I was always closest to my father. I don't know why, maybe it was because of the whole 'father being overprotective of his daughter' thing but we were basically best friends. We did everything together - I guess you can say I was a bit of a tom boy. It was my father who first taught me how to draw. Though he had a full-time job he was an artist on the side. We use to draw together all the time. It's still a main hobby for me - I actually hope to make it a career," nods, seemingly cheerful at the mention of her passion. She licked her lips a bit she paused before continuing. "Growing up I always knew I was .. different. Aside from my family I was basically a loner in school growing up. I never got along with all the other kids, they were just so rude and rotten to one another I really didn't want any part of it. My father always commended me on being different but it was a lonely life style. Aside from my father my best friend was my dog," Harmony stopped for a moment only to laugh. "Kind of sad, isn't it?"

"I was picked on a lot. Maybe it was because I kept to myself that everyone thought I was a threat or a freak, like they like to call me. I always defended myself though, and my brothers were always around to help defend me too. But one day I .. I killed a girl," her voice stopped, hoarse at her last statement. "It was an accident, I didn't know my ability. She was so mean and rotten to me. Always pushing me down, stealing my lunch and calling me the most awful names .. I was only ten years old. Words hurt back then," she attempted to justify herself, but nothing could ever really justify that. "One day she really got under my skin. Looking back I can't even recall what she said that made me so mad. But I was really upset, so I told her I wanted her to go play in traffic. Without missing a beat she did, and got hit by a car," eyes fluttering down, Harmony sniffed a bit from allergies. "It was an accident .." she reminded the woman, moving slightly in an uncomfortable fashion.

"I was blamed for it. Not that I had controlled her but that I had pushed her into the street. Nothing ever came from it except heart break for the parents, my family picking up and moving to Portland, Maine to escape the rumors and misery for us. But I always knew .. I knew that I told her to do it and she did. I still can't justify it," she shook her head a bit, ashamed of herself. "I lived the next five years peacefully, really developing my art skills and trying to understand my new found ability. I used it on the dog and whatever animals we had, even abused my powers to get my brothers to get me cookies or a glass of milk. You know, innocent things. They never remember it either, which was the strangest part."

"At age 16 my father caught my mother cheating. It wasn't a surprise when he asked for a divorce, the two had been fighting so much. But it was a surprise when he found out what she had done. She literally tore my family apart, and I was furious. How could she had hurt my father like that? We ended up getting into a big fight about it and I told her I wished she would kill herself," Harmony looked away, as if she couldn't look the woman in the eyes. "So she did. I-I didn't think I had that much power. I mean, telling someone to go play in traffic an then having someone go hurt themselves is two different things. My family was devastated, even with them getting divorced it was still our mother, my father's wife. I eventually came clean with my father about everything, told him about my abilities and what had happened. He thought Iw as crazy. Legitimately crazy, told me I was going to be put in a hospital the next day. But I'm not crazy just .. cursed. So I ran away and haven't been home since .."

Seeing as you'll be on the campus of Ashes, we must know what your personality is like. Are you gifted?"[/style]

"I am gifted," she said softly, feeling like that was the wrong answer. "But It's not bad, I promise let me explain .." she pleaded, putting her hands up as if to say stop. She cleared her throat before beginning. "When I ran away from home I practiced my abilities more. Tried to understand them and get to know them better. I conclude that I have mind control. Like .. I can make people do what I want, but only to extent and there are certain stipulations. I have to say it out loud and be looking into their eyes directly, which is something that makes me uncomfortable so I tend to avert from peoples eyes. My powers are limited I swear. It seems the more emotional I get the more powerful the control is and I generally can't control it. I can only control one being at a time, a mass group is something I've never tried and never will," she spoke, a smile on her face as she thought she pleaded her case well.

"Because of my gift I'm kind of socially awkward. I don't give commands or talk much. A lot of people see my as quiet and somewhat callous because I never pay people much attention. The less emotion the better, so I keep myself shut off as much as I can. I'm quiet and obedient, you'll never know I'm here. I'm a diligent student and artistic, creative - I'll do well in the arts. I wont really have to interact with anyone else in that subject so it will all be fine. When people do get to know me, which doesn't happen often Im generally warm and welcoming. I don't judge people because I've been judged so quickly by not just my family but everyone else. I'm quiet and reserved and untrusting. I hate to admit it but I'm a natural born liar. I don't like people knowing of my past or of my gift, so when I am asked I tend to lie. I normally tell people I'm not gifted or some other story that isn't true. As a result no one knows my real story. I like it that way," Harmony shrugs, biting her lip innocently.

"As you can guess I like art. Animals - cats are my favorite - chocolate, flowers, thunderstorms and books. Books are my favorite, I'm always reading," Harmony said, happiness lined in her voice. "Aside from reading you can normally find me drawing. I hate when people sneak up on me, especially when I'm drawing or reading so don't do that," she warned with a small grin. "I don't like nosey people or overly perky people. I don't like fake people, which makes me a hypocrite" Harmony laughs a bit "I am probably the biggest fake out there. But thats life I guess. I'm a walking contradiction."

When you come to Ashes, it is very easy to get mixed up on what you want to do later in life. Let's clear up that confusion now while we have the chance. What would you like to do in the future?"[/style]

I just want to be able to control my powers really. I mean, being able to see my family and face them again would be fantastic, I guess that is my ultimate goal. But if nothing else I want to be an accomplished artist, and I hope someday I can get there."
