{ A B O U T . T H E . C H A R A C T E R } Name:Vesper Kallisto Delta Vane Age:17 Gender:female Year:7 Face Claim: Kaya Scoldelario
Canon or Original? Original
Facial Properties: Vesper has light flawless skin that contrasts perfectly with her dark brown hair which falls about her sculptured face wildly. Her face has a tendency to look soulful and brooding but can quickly light up when she is amused. Has a set of curious and eerily mischievous amber eyes are set above a smaller nose and full lips that can spread, revealing sparkling white teeth and a Cheshire grin. Her wicked smirk often crosses her features especially when she has some kind of dastardly plan.
Physique: Her entire physique is nimble and yet strong. This young woman doesn't walk, she struts. Back straight and head held high with sparking eyes and wide smile, every aspect of her body language seeping with confidence and breathing incredible potential that does not go unused. Because of this, Vesper appears very driven in every aspect of her life to get what she wants with uncanny resiliency and articulation that surprises even those who are most familiar with her. Vesper will rarely abandon her cause and her self-imposed objective.
Wand Type: elm, 12 ¾ , dragon heartstring Wand Expertise: Defense Against the Dark Arts Patronus: Her patronus when conjured takes the shape of a black cat Boggart: Herself
Personality: On the surface, she is seen as manipulative and deceiving. Evasive and unreadable. She bluffs, calculates and folds through life. For this she is a hard person to gain the trust of. She knows how to twist people to work with her, so she can gain what she wants before she tosses them to the side. She has a wicked temper though; she has a snobbish and prissy presence. If she is crossed all the cunning in her mind will come to the surface and try to plot revenge, or at least threatening it. Like a cat she can love you one moment and want to scratch you the next. And no one ever really knows where she falls.
She is proud, feisty and has the opinion that she can do anything and get anything. Vesper is sweet as they come, when she wants to be or needs to be, but her mood changes to poisonous if you so much as look at her wrong. an evil streak that runs deep. She will smile to your face and stab you right in the back in the same moment if provoked and she always has a roundabout way of doing it. She doesn't like losing and develops a sudden grudge when she is challenged. But she isn't all bad she also can be fiercely loyal and once she had decided to be friends with someone she will defend them to the death. She is very intelligent but despite this, she gets bored very easily especially when it comes to school. underneath it all, she is scared, tired, and a bit vulnerable, even thought she refuses to admit it. She doesn’t trust anyone, and if she did, they may get a glimpse of that side, but the chances of that are very slim.
For her whole life, Vesper has done things her way. Even as a young child who was neglected, Vesper always tried not to show her emotions, creating a facade around herself, because she hated to seem weak and docile. Hiding behind this shell, she is actually very insecure and tries to avoid relationships, since she finds it very hard to freely express her emotions. Vesper holds many insecurities and has a less than perfect life. Her insecurities mainly come from feeling under the radar and feeling scrutinised. Insecurity tends to overpower her and cloud her mind but also makes her an overachiever and shows a compulsive personality that can obsess over minute details.
Vesper is genuinely a very kind person if one gets to know her. Although she can be very wary around new people. She has never been one willing to trust, but she has always been willing to try new things. Adventuress through and through. There is a sense of wonderment and investigative curiosity from her. Vesper is extremely curious about things. She sees the need to constantly occupy herself and is a great lover of all things fun and entertaining. She will stop at nothing to get to the end of the matter and does so with finesse. And because of her driven persona she will get to the bottom of things. Being a natural show-off, She’s not one to keep quiet unless it’s opportune, and then, she’d like to let everyone know her presence. But when needed, she will play in the background until it’s opportune for her to make her quips and comments.
Since she was raised in the high society and class, Vesper had always known how to deal with the socialites she finds herself around. Apart from being book smart, she has a street smarts and spades and is also very witty and savvy. She prides herself on her tactical genius. She has a very good sense of humour and is prone to snide remarks and small verbal shots at people that are often laced in sarcasm. She is always known as to be incredibly sardonic by her fellow friends. She tends to speak cryptically and one can never be sure if she is being sincere or sarcastic. Shortly, she refuses to tolerate blatant stupidity, even though sometimes she finds it to be quiet entertaining.

History: It was the first of November when Vesper made her grand entrance into the world. It was a dreary sort of day nothing special except for the fact that it was the day when Lex and Vanya Vane had their first and only daughter. Vesper was born into a proudly pure-blooded extremist family. She was the youngest of three children having two older brothers named Sylvain and Devyn.
She grew up in a rather large home just on the outskirts of the city with her family.She was spoiled and happy and believed that the world revolved around her. And why shouldn't she? Everyone fawned upon her so. Her brothers loved her and her parents thought she was simply perfect, the perfect pure-blood daughter.
Of course, having pureblood parents, Vesper's life was surrounded by magic in all of its greatness, and she knew perfectly well about it before attending her first year at Hogwarts. With both her parents being successful, famous and very powerful in the Wizarding world. She grew up with the knowledge already in her head and like all the purebloods, was quickly immersed in the standard trappings of wizarding prejudice.
Her parents were rather strict with who she met up with. Hence she usually talked to people with other wizarding capabilities, all of whom also knew they had magical abilities. She was taught by her family that Muggleborns were Mudbloods, scum and didn't deserve to have magic, though they were still invited into the school if they had the gift, that could pop up randomly in a family.
Her parents were what you would call more in to the dark arts kind of people. Her dad was always very distant from her and always cared about his fame and money and for what she knew he might even have being one of Voldemorts servants. And her mum cared more about her looks and spending their fortune, and her dear tea parties. Her parents weren't married for love, but instead out of convenience for both of their families. This left a large void in their relationship. An on a couple of occasion her dad was prone to be unfaithful, but everything had being kept hush, hush.
It was in her eighth year on this earth that something happened that changed her house and her world. Sylvain was blasted off of the family tree, for marrying a mudblood. From that day on he was gone. Nothing of him remained within that house. As the years past by Vesper became even more proud, both of herself and of her place. That didn't change much when she went to school.
Except, growing up she tried to fill the void in her life by attempting to find other outlets for love and affection as both of her parents seemed incapable of showing this to her, except treating her as an object and showcasing her around. Her grandparents where just as incompetent as her parents in that area showing coldness towards their only granddaughter.
Sample Post:
She didn't like all the noise here; she wasn't used to it. The click-clack of shoes against the semi dump soil, the shuffling of armour and weapons, the sound of a million different conversations at once; the cacophony was enough to give Nerissa a splitting headache. Her senses were just too acute to take it all. She had never been between so many people, people that she only knew by they’re cabin labels...and so far she didn't like it. Her laboratory, or cabin, was a much better place. The forest was the only consolation she had. She perched against a tree and pictured she was surrounded by just trees and fully at peace. Nerissa tried to funnel out the distractions by doing her usual observations, but there was just so much one could take. She had to have silence to accomplish her studies, and with the battle royal raging infront of her, there was simply no way that could be done. Two individuals mainly. Amslee and Cooper, where the cause of this pandemonium.
This two subject seemed to always have some drama taking the spotlight or triggering drama in other places. Or maybe the girl that called herself Rosethorn was the instigator. She worked exactly like an insulation or conduction of temperature. Upon closer inspection and some careful jerking Nerissa shifted her body to get a better look at her. An air conditioner was a better label, maybe? None the less. Today it seemed one of the two males had sparked a quarrel. Misconception? Maybe they needed a group therapy? Maybe then they would regain they marbles... She was quite captured by the events but soon found her mind slipping into some recent questions she had pondered about this week. What is the habitat of a cow? How can you treat your cat if it has a cold? Why do bulls hate the color red? What types of goats are the best to raise for milk? or Why do you eat turkey for Thanksgiving? Presumably, because the Native Americans introduced the bird to the Pilgrims…Or why had she being dubbed Nessy? Yes, she had a fixation with monsters. That was probably the most plausible hypothesis but to her, her own kind and they thinking was still a Pandora box. Nerissa just stared absentmindedly out in front of her, too flabbergasted to even muse any further on the subject or how and when she got in here. All were very interesting and stimulating facts but she needed to touch some basis with socializing that was her main reason for joining the capture the flag event and also observe how the game would turn into a dog eat dog event. Nerissa had spent the day working with hallucinogenic mushroom. It was amazing how a tiny little fungus could bring the human mind to its knees. Such simplicity was fascinating. A mushroom was one of nature’s most simple organisms but was one of its more powerful. Imagine, a plant that could grow overnight. She had also tested the viciousness of potted cactus and collected some venom from arachnids and invertebrates she had being searching in the woods all this week. The main point for this search was to engineer some weapon of her own for the upcoming event. Initianaly, she had not foreshadowed that her experiment of the week would turn into a weapon. She was what you would describe a pacifist, most of the times. Make love not war.. as those hippies said once. She thought of this game as a dog eat dog chain of events. Not really her thing. But interesting to observe. But she had mentioned to Shay a few weeks ago she wanted to try and create some sleeping vapour for people that had sleep deprivation. And the idea took a turn to a different venue and sparked an epiphany. She would experiment with the art of ( poisonous)cooking! And there she was today with a sack plopped on her shoulder carrying her what looked like food but was filled to the brim with toxins. She stood right up statuesque. As she noticed Shay coming over to her and nodded knowingly with a plain smile on her features. They had already discussed her role in the game a few nights ago, when she went to shay to show what she had come up with for this day.

Hey, welcome to ISS! (:
Lovely application, Vesper seems like a really interesting character - and neat name! I just wanted to ask about the sample post, if that's something from another site or something you wrote as if for here - I was a little confused by talk of mortals and satyrs and Harry Potter, ha, which don't exactly fit into ISS, so just wanted to clear that up. Also, I'd advise that you maybe check over the grammar and structuring of the application as it was a little confusing to make sense of at times. If you could do that, that'd be awesome, and I'd be more than happy to sort your application.
Thanks!
- Kabby
