Background:
Vanessa was born in England on July 4th to Rachel and Paul Aldaine. On the cusp of her second birthday, she was sent to the states to be raised by her Aunt Mia when her mother and father were killed in a car accident. While the Big Apple didn't seem like the best place for a little girl, that's what she got. Vanessa grew quickly at her new home. She seemed to thrive on the hubbub of the 'never sleeping' city, and her favorite game was to sit by the window of the loft and make up stories about the people that went by down below. Her aunt, an artist, was nearly almost home and brought in a substantial amount of money by selling her paintings at various galleries. She loved Vanessa but constantly brought new men home, leaving an impressionable Vanessa - now ten - with the idea that 'love' was nothing more than sex. When Vanessa was thirteen, her aunt left her home alone for a night on the town - and never returned. For a few days, Vanessa lived on her own until she was found by authorities who were coming to investigate the loft after identifying the broken body of Mia Jane Bradshaw.Flaws/Personality traits:
At fifteen, Vanessa had been moved from foster home to foster home. The parents of each home said she wasn't right for their house, but never gave an actual reason. Vanessa felt betrayed and alone, always wandering, never able to sit still. Finally, she came to the house of Lee and Josephine Williams, a black couple who had no children of their own. They took her into their home in Los Angeles, and gave her a place to really call hers. For the next three years, Vanessa got to be a real young woman - she went for her permit and then license; she went through high school and graduated; she dated here and there but could never really commit to the relationship; and was there for when Josephine had a baby girl - named Reagan Sophia.
Three months after her eighteenth birthday, Vanessa became very sick - a burning fever being the dominant factor. She lay in bed for three days before turning. Frightened and confused, Vanessa took off. For two months, she lived on the outskirts of the city, alone, until she was able to control her turnings. She found a small group of wolves to live with for a few years, and gained the nickname 'Casper' for her white pelt when turned. However, that band of wolves disbanded after the alpha was killed, as well as his mate and their daughter, in a fight where it was 5 vamps to one wolf. In an earlier fight, Vanessa was slashed quite badly and, although she healed, now has a permanent sliver across her forehead.
- lack of trust / commitmentPhysical description:
Vanessa has trouble committing. A sense of abandonment and betrayal, she finds it hard to trust other people because she doesn't want to go through the pain of being left alone again.
- love; loveless
While being a romantic at heart, Vanessa has mixed opinions on 'love.' From her aunt, she feels that love is simply sex. But from the Williams she's learned a completely opposite view. She loves watching sappy love movies, especially Pride and Prejudice. Vanessa leans more towards the 'sex is love' side, because one-night stands don't equal a commitment.
- dare-devil
Vanessa loves pushing the boundaries. She has an ebony Crotch Rocket [motorcycle] and multiple tattoos that can be easily hidden by clothing.
- outgoing
While she may not trust people, she's very outgoing. She'll talk to people and enjoy it. She flirts, she laughs, she has a good time. She'll be one of the first out on the dance floor and doesn't really care who's watching because they usually enjoy what they see.
She's is easily bored. She picks things up quick; fast learner. Sarcastic. She has a temper but she usually only gets really angry, upset, annoyed, or just fed up around her time of the month - PMS sucks.
Vanessa has long dirty blonde hair that reaches about mid-back that usually looks messy - but artfully so. Her dark blue eyes are a bit startling when you first experience them, but afterwards they're a striking addition to her overall beauty. She stands at 5'11", and has tanned skin, but is overall lighter skinned. She has a faint scar in the center of her forehead.Aspirations:
As a wolf, Vanessa is pure white.

Vanessa just wants to survive.Where Did You Find Us?: Potterholics Anonymous
If she can learn to, she'd like to trust someone - whether it be a friend or something else.
Misc.:
Vanessa can shift very quickly [like Jacob can/could.]
Vanessa also has a better control over her shifts from spending months alone focusing on that alone. Only when she gets very, very emotional [angry, sad, and only sometimes when she's very, very happy] does she have a hard time controlling her shifting, and usually can't control it.
[does that sound alright? i can modify.]
