Overall Personality: Once a bubbly, happy go lucky girl, now a bit more distraught. That happy go lucky girl is still there inside her, she just has to find it again and allow herself to go back to that of a positive personality. Being trapped in mostly darkness for nine years can really make you turn against life. She has her dark thoughts, thought of revenge, thoughts of just doing something bad like robbing a bank. She of course would never go for revenge, be violent, or rob anyone. She is struggling with allowing her sweet, generous, innocent girl next door to show. She's afraid of being found, afraid of being torn down. She will need to find trust in someone, someone to open up to before she could allow herself to show her true personality. Eventually her personality will show to be more of a light, pure nature.

People from the outside will see her as ' a sweet and innocent looking girl'. They will see her as someone that can't hurt a fly, that is cunning and gentle. A person who's best career would be in inventions. Someone with an open mind and open heard. Yet, Tess deep inside is a bit more kinkier, likes things rough. Doesn't like it when things just fall in her lap. She is a bit more complex, even she doesn't understand her personality. Sometimes she feels torn apart between things she wants to do and things she knows she should do. She sees herself as a complicated riddle, just waiting for someone to fully figure her out.

A big part of her personality now and days is that she doesn't know how she you act any more. She's torn between being the cheerful way she wants to be and being on guard and a bit vindictive. After all, learning her entire life was a sham can do that to a person. If you ask her to describe her personality she will reply with one word. "broken" She feels scattered like a broken mirror with missing small pieces that won't allow herself to be fully put back together.

Personality traits she wishes to show again as well as wishes not ever show again are : creative, sweet, beautiful, weary,intuitive, logical,resourceful,emotionally unstable.

Overall History: Tess Arianna Grandly was and is the only name she ever knew. Yet, her life would be so much different now if she actually knew her real name. Eliza Meredith Lohan. See Tess was taken from the hospital when she was just a baby by a woman named Mary Ann Grandly, who had lost their child the same day Eliza had been born. The had a fake birth certificate with her name on it and adoption papers which they showed her later on in her life when she started to ask questions.

Growing up Tess did what she was told in fear of being whipped or yelled at. Dad asked for a beer, she got him a beer. Mother wanted a foot message, mother got a foot message. Tess became use to doing such minor things around the house and barely played outside. She figured all the other children in her class must have a similar home lifestyle. When Tess was five, a baby boy was brought home. Though Tess, never could figure out how it was possible. She never recalled seeing her mom grow any bigger. Her parents just told her she had just been so upset by the ordeal that she chose not to see it.

Peter, her younger brother would become her confidant. The two stuck up for each other. They didn't hang out at school together due to the age difference, but they would walk to school and walk back home together. The two found a stray dog one day and decided to bring it home. Knowing full well their parents wouldn't approve they did the best they could to hid the pup. One day they came back from school and couldn't find the dog. Grayson, their father, had found the dog and was outraged they brought that stray mutt into the house. He claimed to have brought the dog to the pound, but both Tess and Peter feared he might have hurt the dog.

One day, Peter was approached at school. He was told by a friend that had been browsing the internet that he saw a picture of a baby and a sketch of what he'd look like now on a website. The friend told Peter it looked like him. So, Peter went to the local library to use the internet to try to find this image, but instead found a sketch that looked a lot like his sister. Peter tried to get Tess to look at the image, but she wouldn't, at least for an entire week. Tess just assured her brother that it wasn't her, but there were doubts clearly written on her face.

One day after school, Tess went to meet Peter at their usually spot before walking home together. Peter didn't show up. Instead one of Peter's friends did with a note. Peter had ran away, said he found an image that resembled himself and was going to find the family that reported him missing instead of talking to their supposed parents directly. That was what Tess should have done, but instead went to her parents and asked about her birth parents again. Her parents told her never to bring it up again.

Peter never showed up at the house again, no notes or letter, but his face did show up on the news the night she graduated from high school. 'Boy taken from hospital finds home' was the headline. It was that night that her life would change forever. The tv was turned off quickly, before Tess could watch anymore. Her mother trying to feed her more lies about that not being her brother Peter and how they were still searching for him. That night Tess decided she was going to leave. She had a sleep over she could go to, after which she could just disappear.

Tess reassured her parents she loved them and would see them tomorrow as she headed out with her over night bag. The party was just down the way. Half way to her friend's house she was grabbed, a bag put on her head. For the last nine years she's been locked up somewhere dark. Given food, beaten with a whip when she complains or doesn't do what the two men and one woman wanted. Over the years she's been trying to gain strength, doing whatever exercises she could. Now she's just escaped and made it to the nearby city of NewPort Beach.

Cheyenne was walking barefoot once more through out the town. Sure she had a pair of flip flops, but they were almost completely warn out. Cheyenne still had not found the right job for her. She was picking up small jobs every now and then, but if someone was to ask her where she worked this southern gem wouldn't have a response. Cheyenne found herself passing up a church, going through a field of grass and eventually hopping from one stone to another down a path between headstones.

The skies were grey as if a nasty storm was coming in. Every now and then the wind would pick up, each time it would become a bit stronger. She stopped as she balanced on one foot on one of the stones. She felt like she should turn back, go to the place she now was forced to call home. Cheyenne started to hop from one stone to the next as she thought about how she felt like a prisoner here. Little did she know there were people who had it worse. She had freedom and could do what she pleased and the moment that someone tried to take that away from her there would be war.

Cheyenne had skills when it came to hunting and fighting, skills she tended to keep to herself. She rather the element of surprise on her side and by the looks of this town she'd need it. Vampires, Shapeshifters, Cheyenne was trapped here all because her vehicle broke down at the wrong location. "My vehicle." She spoke out loud, she almost completely forgot about it. She had no idea where those cops had placed it, but if she could find it, sneakily repair it, maybe she could actually break out of this place. Part of her realized that might bring a fight her way, which she was gladly to take part in if it meant her realize from this place. "I'll just have to prepare" She spoke once more to herself out loud as she found a bench looking over part of the cemetery. Cheyenne didn't go near the bench, every bench now reminded her of Erik, made her want to seek him out and talk to him. She of course never did that.
