The day she was born was the day her life and her parents lives became extremely difficult. Half witch/vampires were extremely rare because not many vampires could control their thirst long enough to hold a lasting relationship with a mortal. Zackary Raven named his daughter because Phoenyx Isabella Raven because he thought the name not only sounded beautiful, but her initials were rest in peace backwards. Clarabella, his wife, allowed her husband to name their child because she couldn't think of any fitting names.
When Phoenyx turned two, her parents worried that she might be more like her father than her mother, and if that was the case, they would have to be careful with where they went, what time, who they were with and what they were doing. It wasn't long after that Phoenyx started walking and roaming around the house and getting into trouble. Her parents were grateful for the fact that their daughter could sleep at night and be seen during the day, it was something that they were very nervous about when she was born. They also noticed that she could eat normal food, and didn't just crave blood, though the thirst was there.
At the age of five Phoenyx was speaking almost flawlessly, she was unable to pronounce her 'r's and had trouble getting out what she wanted to say because she would speak so fast. She also began her training with her father so she could learn to keep her thirst for blood-though it wasn't as strong as a full vampire's it was still there- under control. Being a bright and determined little girl, she strived to make her parents proud of her, even though she didn't know why she was learning to keep her thirst under control.
On her seventh birthday Phoenyx bit one of the muggle boys at her party who had stolen her favorite birthday toy that she had been given. The boy was rushed to the hospital and the Raven's were soon looked down upon. They were concerned that the boy was turned, but thankfully they saw him a couple days later outside in the sun with a bandage on his arm. Soon after they discovered that Phoenyx could not change someone into a vampire since, they reasoned, she wasn't a full vampire.
Over the years Phoenyx showed few signs that could give her away as being a vampire, but she also showed no signs of being a witch. Her parents wondered if she was unable to be a witch since she also had vampire DNA.
Their worries and thoughts were over when Phoenyx received a letter from Hogwarts telling her that she was accepted into the school for witchcraft and wizardry. Happy about their daughters future at an almost normal life they took her shopping for all the things that she would need for school, and then some. Her first two years at Hogwarts proved difficult since she didn't fit in with anyone. She soon went for being a happy carefree girl, to someone who was closed off and stayed in the shadows, praying that no one would notice her or pick on her. She studied hard and kept her grades up, pleasing her parents greatly.
It wasn't until her third year that she had, had enough. Classmates from her own house were picking on her and she wanted revenge. Being clever and, with the help of her heightened hearing she skipped her potions class to pull off the most elaborate prank she could. It all started with a firework. The upperclassmen were doing their work when they had to leave the room because a firework went off. After having the students in the hallway she threw water balloons that were enchanted and not filled with water. She had the help of peeves the ghost to pull of the prank, and they threw troll booger balloons at her peers, all of them getting hit since the balloons were enchanted to follow whosoever name was whispered into them. Next she knew that the upperclassmen knew more than she did, so she let off some more fireworks before taking off under the cover of the bright lights.
After her little prank she had gained some respect and some people were actually frightened of her. She was never accepted into a group, or crowd, not that it mattered since she preferred to observe the crowds rather than join. She found that by doing this she could ultimately pick her next target to prank. She usually stuck to those who made fun of another who couldn't, or wouldn't harm another being just to make themselves feel good. Granted what she did was similar, she never actually physically injured anyone, only humiliated them to teach them a lesson. Of course teachers didn't stand for the actions that she was taking and they soon tried forcing friends at her, thinking it might help her fit in and stop her insane pranking. It didn't work.
At fifteen she had decided to prank every once in a while, and keep her grades up. She had become much more aggressive and taunted some of the boys, knowing that one of her advantages was the small amount appeal they would see in her due to her vampire DNA, of course it was only a very small amount that lured them in, the rest was what she told them. Of course her other advantage was her wit and keen sense of hearing, knowing that the most unnoticeable flinch would be heard by her ears. Her parents were a little confused as to why their daughter was no longer completely sweet and innocent, but decided that she had gotten her stubbornness from her father and her looks from her mother.
When Phoenyx was nineteen she got news that her father needed her full time. That she would have to cut ties with everyone she knew in the wizarding world so she could focus on learning the ins and outs of the covenant. She could go back into the public when she was older. When her parents felt that she was ready to take over. Which also meant that she would find a suitor and marry and take over the covenant. She agreed to it only because she knew that her vampire side was starting to change her personality. She needed to keep away from humans until she finished maturing. Her days passed slowly and she wished that she could contact her friends to let them know she was alive, but that was impossible. The covenant had made a very convincing cover up. They made it seem like she had been with Dustan, that wasn't the case. She was safe in Italy with her parents. Thankfully she had finished school and had no clue what she was going to do with her time after her graduation. She had thought about going pro in quidditch, but thought otherwise, she loved flying, and playing, but with the hours that quidditch took and the changing weather, she decided against it.
Now at twenty one she has been left alone in the manor her father owns in Nottingham with nothing to do, but read. Of course she got bored and decided it was time to break the rules and come out. Showing that she wasn't dead. So she decided that until she became the head of the covenant she would put herself to good use, against her father's wishes.Though she has no clue what she is going to do.
After her stunt at the Yule Ball her father was pissed. Of course he could do nothing about it. She also started a fling with one Draeden Blackwood who also became an unlikely friend, and partner. Their partnership is for a society that Draeden wants to start, and of course Phoenyx with all her time and love of having fun, she agreed.
Personality Description:
Phoenyx is kind and caring, and sweet. She comforts anyone in distress and doesn't mind being the shoulder for people to cry on. It makes her feel wanted and more human and vampire. She would do almost anything for a close friend, even opening her home to them. She is usually calm and collected, but if her friends, or family are in danger she has no problem ditching that demeanor and becoming an irrational attack first ask questions later.
She is smart, she loves to read. Her knowledge focuses on seers and their powers for the most part. She is knowledgeable in other things, like everything about her covenant, and quidditch. Her smarts also allow her to be devious, when she needs to be. She is also cunning, a trait that she got, partly from her father, and partly from her time at Hogwarts. She usually uses her skills for laughs and to have fun, but she can certainly apply it to other, more harmful things.
Though she is more comfortable in her skin and who she is, Phoenyx still hesitates about being around people. She still has those thoughts that she really doesn't fit in. She still draws back when she feels like she is unwanted or is yelled at out of the blue. On the opposite side of this she loves to flirt and tease. It's a habit that she picked up to make her father angry while he was trying to teach her about the covenant, and one she kept to entertain herself.

She's got the sweet and innocent look going for her, but it's only a look. She has an oval face that fits her overall look. She has a straight cute button nose and smiling chocolate brown eyes. Her lips are full petal pink, and is usually pulled into a sly smile. She's not really tall, but isn't short either, she stands at about five foot five inches and easily able to hide. She's thin, but is not skin and bones, she's toned and has long legs. She doesn't spend much time in the sun due to her condition, so she's only got a light tan and has almost no color otherwise.
She had long flowing curly dark brown hair that she cut to her chin, and it falls into perfect curls. She grew her hair back out to make it long again, after cutting her hair when she was younger. She used to wear muted colors, but after a while, she decided that every once in a while some bold colors to draw her attention was her favorite thing to do. Though she does enjoy mostly wearing shades of her former house.

Special Talents: Phoenyx inherited a few of her fathers talents being half vampire. The first is 'immortality' she doesn't have immortality, but an extended life. She will eventually slow down in aging and only age a year or two every decade, no one knows when the trait will kick in, only that she can indeed still die. She unfortunately did not gain super-strength or super-speed, granted she can run faster than most people, their are still those who can outrun even her. She did gain her fathers enhanced vision, only diluted since her mother has horrid eyesight, and Phoenyx would have been born with the same problem, if it had not been for her father. Her hearing is phenomenal, the one full vampire trait that she received from her father, and she puts it too good use.
Because Phoenyx isn't a full vampire she can go into the sunlight, but only if she wears sun glasses and its over cast outside, otherwise she'd burn her eyes and she'd get a heat rash from the contact of direct sunlight. She can however go out if she completely covers herself up, not something she likes to do, especially in the middle of the summer.
Other talents that have nothing to do with what she inherited from either parent is her uncanny talent to correctly predict/read fortunes. No one understands how she is so good at it, but as soon as she was able to talk she was telling people things that she shouldn't. Of course she can't see everything, they usually come to her in dreams. When she reads cups, palms, anything really that could lead to something in the future she is calm, quiet, and collected, until she knows what the symbol means.
RP Example:
She sighed and closed her book before standing up and moving away from the window ledge, it was dark out and she was doing some last minute studying for a test that was happening the next day. Her step was light and her knee length dress with petticoats flowed with every step. She was tired and wanted to sleep.
She walked down the hall and stretched holding her hands, and the book above her head for a moment as she got the kink out of her back. Letting out a huff she returned her arms to her side before looking around the deserted room she had just entered. She crossed it and picked up the bag she had lazily dropped earlier that evening and headed to her room. She frowned and began thinking about what she could do for a prank. She didn't want it directed at anyone in particular, she just wanted to cause some mischief. Perhaps she could do something with the little swamp that was in one of the corridors, she had heard how it had gotten there and laughed at the story. Maybe she could find some pixies and let them lose in the school...she'd need a lot, not that she wouldn't mind rounding them all up, and yeah it would be worth it, but how would she get them to not injure anyone. Sure she was going to let them throw things at students and attack them, but she didn't want any of them in the hospital wing, then again having the pixies only focus on teachers would make every student laugh.
A smile formed on her lips, if she could pull that off then she would with out a doubt do the prank. Now the question was how was she going to get the pixies to side with her and agree to what she wanted? She frowned and brought a delicate finger to her chin as she thought. Pixies liked shiny objects right? She shook her head as she dropped her bag next to her bed and placed the book on the night stand. She laid on her bed and stared at the ceiling, she'd have to find out about the pixies tomorrow, she needed to get some sleep.
She could feel her eyes getting heavy and could hear her roommates heart beats and breathing as she also listen to the very faint and very unusually slow heart beat that was her own, as she drifted off to into a deep slumber, not caring that she was still in her clothes.
