physical
[/i][/size][/left]physical appearance[/i]
With raven curls tumbling down her back, and skin as pale as ice itself, Elena is a frozen beauty. Her complexion is smooth and porcelain-like, though she is prone to getting dark shadows under her eyes when hungry. Her eyes are enormous and very beautiful, in a wonderful green shade that is clear and bright, giving her an honest element about her. Her face is heart shaped, with a very defined jaw and chin, and wonderful full lips,
hiding a dazzling smile of large-ish teeth. Her brows are thick but neat, and in the same shade of black as her hair, and her cheekbones are wonderfully sculpted.
She is roughly five feet and eight inches in height, in her bare feet, and is slim and graceful, but by no means a twig. She's a proper woman in build, with an hourglass figure that she doesn't always show off to its fullest. She has very delicate hands, and small feet for her age, the toenails of which are always painted some beautiful hue or other. Elena likes to wear traditional clothing, such as dresses and beautiful gowns and robes. She occasionally will wear modern clothing, such as flashy dresses that show off her body, and maybe jeans and a t-shirt if the mood strikes. She is a vampire, so she has some physical attributes from that, too. When she is very hungry, her eyes glow fiercely in a more golden shade, and her fangs grow longer ready to feed. She is unnaturally pale from the lack of sunlight in her world, and she is very graceful and elegant.

overall personality[/i]
Elena is a girl with a heart of gold and a smile for everyone. She's confident and polite, and has manners second to none. She is a great friend, and likes to laugh a lot, and is always on hand with a funny line, or pearl of wisdom that makes her sound like someone's nan, which people often find hilarious. She has the great ability to laugh at herself, and she never takes things too seriously, which helps her to stay young and fit in with the kids she mixes with on a daily basis.
Elena is kind, and she will go out of her way to help people, no matter who they are. She has no interest in evil, or fighting, and is often highly disappointed and hurt when people find out she is a vampire, and immediately judge her as cruel and a killer. Just because she has the ability, doesn't mean she uses it. Elena's conscience plays a good part in the choices she makes in life, and she is ruled by her heart and head equally, which both tell her that good will always prevail, no matter how dark times may seem, and she has hope, which is a rarity sometimes, she has discovered during her years.
She will not be pushed about, though, so don't expect her to be all nicey nice and let you walk all over her. She is a vampire, and a lot older than most people, and she had enough life experience and drama to have toughened her up a little. She's very strong, and can take a lot before she breaks, and she knows she is a susrivor after everything she has been through. The things a few kids can throw at her mean nothing in comparison. Elena wants nothing more than to be seen as someone who is kind and gentle, and loving and helpful, instead of some hideous monster that should be locked away. She longs to be human again, more than anything else, but since that's never going to happen, she spends most of her time dreaming about the sun, and wishing for another beautifully good vampire to come into her life and make it a little less scary.

history[/i]
Born Elena Margaret McGuire, on 11th October 1935, the small town of Crosshaven in Southern Ireland was her home. Elena was the eldest child of Maggie and Liam, and was raised for five years alone, until another daughter came along, Sarah. Elena was a pleasant child, she was kind and had excellent manners, and loved to help her mother out around the house. Her mother being a witch, it was always a question for the couple, whether their children would inherit magical powers or not. They decided that home schooling would be best for both of their girls, and a lot safer than risking magic being revealed by them, to all in the tiny community.
Elena and her sister were very close, and Sarah followed Elena everywhere, to her big sisters delight. Elena loved looking after the younger girl, and letting her tag along on shopping trips and to the waters edge to play. Magic ran through both of their veins, and though she received letters from a magical school by the name of Hogwarts, Elena's parents decided that they didn't want to send their daughter away from them for so long, and that they wanted to keep her at home with them. So her mother taught Elena little bits of magic here and there, along with her regular Muggle learnings, but mostly it was her job to help out around the house, and take care of her sister.
When she reached the age of sixteen, Elena's world was tipped upside down in a number of drastic ways. Sarah became sick with the flu, and wasn't responding to treatments, only eleven years old at the time, she was frail and weak, and soon contracted pneumonia. The little family were distraught, and did everything they could to help Sarah fight her way through, but to no avail. Sarah died a few months later, and Elena felt like her world had been ripped apart. She had been so close to her sister, that she didn't know what to do with herself, it was as though she had lost some huge part of herself that she would never be able to find again.
In distress, she ran, ending up in the next town over and stumbling into a bar for refuge from torrential rain. A man only a few years older than herself went to Elena, comforting her and buying her a drink. She was too out of her mind to really think about what she was doing, and a few hours later, she was drunk, and in the mans arms in one of the rooms above the bar. She lost her virginity that night, and woke the next morning alone and confused. She didn't tell her parents where she had been, only that she had gone to a friends house for some space.
Four months later, the truth came out. She was pregnant. Her parents were furious with her, and Elena was more than embarrassed that she had disgraced herself and her family so much. It was during this time that a very significant person came in to her life. A friend. A confidant. Someone to support her without question. His name was Maksim Belaia (surname pronounced Beh-lie-uh). He was the most handsome man she had ever seen, with dark hair, and the warmest chocolate eyes that made her feel so safe. They became fast friends, and were soon inseparable, Mak's always being at her house, winning over her parents and making her smile even though she often doubted that she could.
A few months later, her baby was ready to put in an appearance, and child birth was incredibly difficult. She had her parents there, and Maks, and was adamant that she would have the baby at home, regardless of any risks. She was terrified of hospitals, and refused to go near one. Her baby would be fine, she was sure of it. The only thing was, she began to bleed profusely, far too much to be classed as anywhere near normal, and as soon as her daughter entered the world, Elena left it, having bled out after only a minute holding her child in her arms.
The next event in her life was completely unexpected. Maks, unable to just let the woman he loved die, threw caution to the wind, and took matters into his own hands. Not caring what her parents would think, he revealed himself as a vampire, and leapt into action, draining Elena's blood, and forcing his own into her mouth as her heartbeat fluttered pitifully, before cutting out completely. Horrified, Elena's parents took the baby, her mother screaming the house down, and Maks had no choice but to scoop Elena up and run. He took her far, far away from her home and her baby.
She woke a few days later, horrified and bewildered, and it took her a long time to realize and digest what had happened to her, and what this meant. She was now a vampire, bound to eternal life and an existence consumed with blood and death and darkness. It took her even longer to allow Maks to convince her that she couldn't go back to her baby. Her daughter was better off being raised by Elena's parents, and they would only be horrified at the sight of her, after witnessing her death. She was distraught all over again, and the comfort Maks gave her was not enough. The first time he tried to get her to feed was a nightmare for Elena. He brought her a young human, compelled to offer his neck. She was meant to only drink a little, just enough to satisfy her hunger, but she found that once she started, she couldn't stop feeding, and the guy was soon dead on the floor. Devastated with guilt, she swore she would never touch a drop of human blood ever again, and it took her months to get used to feeding from animals, whom she also refused to kill.
It was a year later, after watching her daughter grow from afar, that she finally allowed herself to feel anything other than obsession for her human life. And the thing she felt first, was love. Love for the man who had essentially saved her life, even though he had doomed her to one she didn't want. She loved him, and if she were honest with herself, she had loved him for a very long time. He had waited for her, and took her in with open arms, and a few years later, in their own way, they were married. Or as married as two dead people could be, and she dropped her human surname, taking on his, and finally accepting her life as a vampire.
They lived together in Belfast for many years, and Elena started to find happiness again, clinging to the pictures she would take of her daughter from afar, when she would sneak back to her home town, just to take a peek. After twenty years together, another nightmare struck Elena's life. In the wrong place, at the wrong time, She and Maks ended up caught up in the middle of a vampire hunt by the Ministry of Magic. Some "friends" of theirs, who they were visiting, had apparently been up to no good, and were now on the hit list of some of the best Aurors the Ministry had. Elena and Maks tried to flee, but their escape was blocked by an Auror. Maks leapt into a fight with the wizard, pushing Elena out of the way and telling her to run. Before she could object, a stake was driven clean through his heart.
Maks was gone.
Screaming in rage, she wanted nothing but to rip the Auror apart. Maks was not a monster! But neither was she. Which is why she turned and ran for her life. Her feet somehow carried her to a ferry, and she crossed to England, hiding out there until it was announced in the Daily Prophet that a nest of vampires had been exterminated successfully. She supposed that her name had been cleared, and so set about trying to build a new life for herself, living with the extra grief of losing the love of her life.
Many years later, she encountered a witch named Elizabeth D'eath, who she soon became fast friends with. The woman was lovely, and they would meet up and chat for hours. Elena soon learned that Elizabeth and her husband had recently taken on their own project of sorts. They were allowing vampires to use their surname, and attend at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to learn magic. Elena's eyes had lit up at the prospect. She had never had the chance to learn properly, and Elizabeth offered to help her. She accepted happily, and was soon put under a spell to change her appearance to that of a younger child, and left for the castle with a spring in her step.
She was sorted into Gryffindor, and agreed enthusiastically to abide by the schools rules for vampires, ensuring them that she'd sooner stake herself than feed from a human, let alone a child, and that they had nothing to worry about with her. She is happy to have the chance to prove that not all vampires are evil, bad creatures who just want to kill and maim, like some silly stereotype. She is in her final year of school now, and has learned so much, and made so many mortal friends that she finally feels like she fits in. She still keeps an eye on her grandchildren as they grow up, and hopes to find someone to make her life less scary and lonely once she has to leave the castle at the end of the year.
