Awakening
Through shock, she awakened as a young child of ten after she watched her parents stabbed to death. She lost (refused?) the ability to speak right after.
Blood. Blood everywhere. That horrible knife—did it really glow red or was she dreaming? She stood there stunned, a child lost and confused. The man started walking towards her, a menacing look in his eyes. She wanted to run. She wanted to scream. “Get away from me!” she longed to cry out.
Then there was nothing but void. Everything—the blood, the pain, the knife—they all disappeared. A gust of wind swept of nothingness as if it were sand. She shielded her eyes. When she opened them again, the watchtower of the Lunargent Thorn called to her.
When she woke she was lying on a bed. A man of Southeast Asian descent was looking at her. “You’re awake, I see.” he said gruffly.
“…” she said. She had forgotten all words.
Family
Parents: Dead
Others: Unknown. She does not know of any other relatives.
Adopted Family
Labyrinth: Her adopted father. He saved her from the mage who had killed her parents. A Mysterium Censor, he was responsible for her first steps into the world of magic. Sevens is fiercely loyal to him and has sworn herself to his cause as his bodyguard--she has no plans of ever losing her family again.
He is an alumnus of Epsilon Alpha (Whoops! Thanks BJ.) who awakened when, as a neophyte, he boasted that he would find the haunted/mythical 22nd floor—a popular ghost story among the frat members. The council of seven finally found him two days later, deep in the trance of the newly awakened. He never did find that damnable floor. His shadow name refers to that episode.
Note: Labyrinth is a bugger when it comes to asking for aid—he never delivers. So there won’t be any mentor dots in either of my characters. For all purposes, he’s a RP NPC and their source of income (it is not resource merit income but more of a ‘how do I feed myself everyday?’ income.).
Sonnet: Labyrinth’s daughter by blood. Sevens is very attached to her. Sonnet was the one who christened her with her shadow name.
“She is a child of luck,” Labyrinth said. “She awakened as an Acanthus.”
Sonnet leaned over. “I’m Sonnet. What’s your name?” she asked.
“…”
“She never speaks and I have not bothered to name her.”
Sonnet scowled at her father. “You’re horribly lazy, you know that right?” Labyrinth shrugged. He turned, signaling that he was no longer interested in the matter. Sonnet pressed a finger to her cheek, seemingly in thought. “I know. Seven is considered a lucky number. Why don’t we call you Sevens?”
Sevens smiled.

Fighting Style
Two knives, the way she fights is much like a dance incorporating sleight of hand, acrobatics, timing and a lot of luck.
Note: Think River Tam if you’ve seen the movie Serenity. There are videos of how she fights available in youtube. It’s a kickboxing/kung fu combination tweaked to be a bit more graceful, as if it were from a ballet.
She swung her left leg, using the momentum as the beginning of a spin, the motion serving to clear her of the thrown knife’s trajectory. Her left foot touched the ground lightly, the initial contact turning into a sudden kick-off for more speed and then she was in a run. Quick motions of her arms and her two weapons swung into place in her waiting hands, cold steel glistening against the light.
She entered the fray without hesitation, caught in the motions of her terrible dance…
Weapons
Seven blades for luck has she. Seven blades, the arsenal of Sevens…
Khukri (Dedicated Magic Tool)
Damage: 2(L)
Size: 2/J
Special: 9-again on targeted attacks.*
Swordbreaker
Damage: 1(L)
Size: 1/S
Special: Break**
Main Gauche
Damage: 1(L)
Size: 1/S
Special: +1 Defense if used with another weapon.*
Throwing Knives (x4)
Damage: 1(L)
Size: 1/S
Range: 14/28/56
Notes: She usually carries her Khukri and one other knife aside from the throwing knives. She keeps her main weapons tucked under her windbreaker while she keeps two of her throwing knives in her pants and two more in sheaths hidden on her ankle. Khukri and Main Gauche taken from the WoD Armory book.
**Break: When you declare a Break, first roll Wits + Dex - the opponent's Dex reflexively to see if you can catch the opponent's weapon as it makes its way towards you. If you succeed, roll Dex or Str + Weaponry contested by the opponent's Dex or Str + Weaponry. If you succeed, the number of successes you have that exceed his successes inflicts one point of lethal damage to his weapon's structure. If you fail, you still stop the attack, but his weapon takes no damage.
Using a Break on your turn is more difficult, since you'll have to aim for the opponent's weapon. That calls for a Str (or Dex if you have fighting finesse) + Weaponry - 4, because you'd have to aim for the hand. If you succeed, go straight to the contested roll.
History
A fae was she, a fairy free…
Sevens was raised in England by her parents where her life was relatively normal. Then at the age of ten, she came home with her parents from a family outing to the sight of a strange man in their living room. This man was a mage of the Manila Concilium. A member of the Mysterium called Azrael. He had been tasked by his order to recover an enchanted knife. He went rogue after retrieving it though, leaving the country and taking the knife with him. Sevens’ parents tried to subdue him, a trespasser in their homes. He killed them in cold blood. The sight was enough to awaken Sevens. It was perhaps this event that saved her. Azrael’s hesitated upon realizing what had occurred and Labyrinth appeared subduing the rogue mage. Labyrinth, realizing the girl had awakened, then decided to take her along with him—a penance for not being able to save the girl’s parents.
Fast forward six years later. Labyrinth has been sent once more on a mission by the Mysterium. This time however he bid Sevens not to accompany him. Labyrinth now sends her to his old frat/cabal in U.P.—where his daughter now sits as one of the Council of Seven—with a letter asking them the favor taking care of her while he attends to his business. In exchange, Sevens has been ordered to help the Cabal in anyway she can.

Relationships/Opinions/Thoughts/Plans
Devil Grass
Sevens is--naïve as she is--aware of Devil Grass's thing for little girls. She has found out though that lollipop is all it takes to divert his attention which suits her just fine. How can she dislike anyone who likes candy? He's funny too. She's thinking of trying bubble-gum next time.
Samael
He seems so high-strung. It must be the coffee...
El Mariachi
His music is enough to make her excited. She has resolved to jump to the stage to dance if ever she gets the chance to watch another of his performances.
Jackal
It's odd but she really finds it hard to figure out something definite about him...
Raja
It might just be Sonnet's utter hatred for the man affecting her but Sevens dislikes him. Really really dislikes him. Really really really dislikes him.
El Machete
Sevens has never really met the man but the image of him that she has conjured, from what she has heard of him, can be summed up to this: one gruff but cute teddy bear.
River Coins
Typical male... *eye roll*

What has your character learned today?
Lollipop keeps the pedo at bay!
"Weed?" Devil Grass offered with a perverted smile. Sevens grinned in response, dug her hand in one of her pockets and produced a lollipop. She cheerfully extended her counteroffer to Devil Grass.
"..." Devil Grass stares at the lollipop and then takes it, all thought of giving Sevens weed forgotten, as he scurries off munching happily on the treat. Sevens waved goodbye and goes off on her own business.
The Cabal's armory is full of random s***!
Sevens wandered off into the depths of the sanctum. Most of the council had gone to investigate whatever it was that was happening in the Math Building leaving her and Devil Grass to guard the Sanctum. Devil Grass was busy and Sevens was pretty much left to her own devices. Soon enough, she found herself in the armory.
The whole room was arrayed with weapons. Sevens looked through them quickly, pausing only to admire the workmanship of any knife she found. Still, these things were not what she was looking for--she had something else in mind. It was with much glee that she found it.
It was a dark leather trench coat. She picked it up, smiling and holding it against her--it was just her size. She had of course heard the stories of the cabal--of how anyone they ran into wearing a trench coat was trouble. It was reaching the point that the mere sight of it would make of any of these magi jump. She figured that if a trench coat had that effect on such an experienced group of magi...why not on those Epsilon Delta novices?
There was no mirror to reflect how she looked but Sevens found the urge too hard to resist. She put the trench coat on and swung around in a circle, the motion ending with a brief pose before she collapsed into a fit of soundless giggles.
This should make me extra fearful now, she thought as she happily walked off to find a mirror.
It pays to be around two Mysterium magi often.
The Cabal needed information, Sevens knew. She frowned, wondering what Sonnet would do.
"When in doubt, read." Sonnets words and the course of action she was most likely to take.
Seven took a deep breath, delving deeply into her mind--forcing herself to remember anything that may be of use. Three books come to mind. She immediately writes it all down--it would not do to lose this information.
This might be of great help...

You don't get any thoughts about River Coins? 
That's good, I guess. Best we keep the loli and the sexfiend as far away from one another.

It adds along as she goes. XD Something will pop up eventually. Be patient.

El Machete Samboa of Nicaragua is insulted that this new girl does not think anything of him. Normally he would threaten to cut her, but as she is a little loli girl, he is willing to let this slide.
Okay, little mute loli. I trust you.
