| - Vashti is a fun-loving child. She likes to find the playful aspect in things. She sees her father's potions equipment largely as toys. She hasn't lost this view, despite--or perhaps even because of--lessons on potion making. She sees necromancy mainly as a way of making unusual toys and/or pets (she hasn't made up her mind on what the reanimated corpses count as). And because of her (limited) experience with necromancy, she isn't squicked by dead things. Sure, sometimes the stench or the maggots can be gross, but those can be dealt with; and then you have prime toy/pet-making material! She won't back down from a fight. She doesn't try to pick fights, but she's not always the most careful about how she phrases things. She's usually a fairly straightforward person, and speaks her mind. She can be stubborn, though she is capable of taking direction. She's also more than capable of giving direction. In activities that call for some sort of organization, she will step up and provide it. She doesn't particularly enjoy or dislike being in charge; she just likes to keep activities running smoothly, and sometimes she has to take charge to get that accomplished. She values fairness. She tries to be fair to others, and behaves as if she will be treated fairly in return. She doesn't necessarily expect fair treatment, however. She tries to remain optimistic about people (unless they've already proven their untrustworthiness), but she realizes that people aren't always, well, fair. Moreover, there are some rules that she understands being punished for breaking--as they are rules--but she doesn't accept that punishment as just. Some rules are silly in her mind. She will stand up for others if she believes they're being treated unjustly and need help. She doesn't consciously recognize this fact about herself, largely because of the caveat 'and need help'. If she thinks they're capable of handling the situation themselves, she doesn't feel any particular obligation to insert herself into their problem. She's a daddy's girl. She looks up to her dad a lot and enjoys doing stuff with him, whether it be reading a children's book or performing experiments on dead animals. The fact that Daddy happens to be a vampire has left her with very inclusive views on beinghood, and something of a lack of a healthy sense of fear towards some of the more dangerous sorts. She is pretty fearless in general. She also has a very strong liking for blood lollipops, but she's sure that's unrelated to anything. Her being part vampire has had a fairly subtle effect on her, and then mainly physically. She doesn't question these traits, as she's had them as long as she can remember. They simply don't that seem strange to her. She's developed a preference for dark places. This is mostly a result of her trying to avoid more than dim sunlight without having to stay inside all day. Occasionally she'll space out if someplace quiet with other people. She doesn't always seem spaced out; in fact, most of the time she seems to be focusing on something very intently. This is because she finds other heartbeats somewhat hypnotic if they aren't getting drowned out by anything else. She's not sure how long these fits last because when she's spaced out she loses all sense of time, which she finds frustrating. This is perhaps understandable, as the fits can last anywhere from a few minutes to upwards of an hour. She is loyal, and good at keeping secrets. Once again, this is in large part due to her father. She loves him, and keeping his secrets keeps him safe. She applies the same logic towards anyone she deems a friend. However, she has also learned that one must use some discretion in who one considers a friend. She doesn't consider everyone she's friendly with to automatically be a 'friend'. She currently has some conflicted feelings towards her half-brother. He's family, so he should automatically get loyalty, right? ...Only, she doesn't trust him. While one would have to earn her trust to get bumped up to 'real friend', Vashti is quite friendly. She enjoys the company of others and is sociable. She enjoys learning new things. She doesn't necessarily enjoy continuing to study after learning the basic details of something, though. The thing itself has to be fun for her to want to keep pursuing knowledge of it.
