Music played muffled from Christian's headphones stuck into his ears. The elevator car he was riding was loaded up with suitcases and other things for his single dorm; he had had enough of roommates, this was his third year and he was ready for some independence. In his right hand, he held his iPhone; messing around on FaceBook and sending snapchats of the massive dog who sat patiently in between his legs, tongue lolling out and heavy pants coming from the 200lbs furball. The elevator finally dinged and opened, and now the task of getting all his luggage was at hand. He slipped his iPhone into his khaki chino pocket, remnants of Panic! and the Disco still blaring in his head. He pulled the Minnesota Timberwolves snapback off his knee and flipped his hair back, pulling the hat over his head.

For any normal university student, this would be a bear of a task. Hell, even for some of the students here it'd be a bear. But Nate just bent gravity around the bags and they followed him as closer that the dog did.

Bear tugged at his heavy leash at every passing person, giving them a sniff; Nate gave a friendly grin to everyone the dog annoyed, especially the girls...

He arrived at the door and passed his ID card across it. The lock clicked and Nate opened the door. It was smaller than he was used to, seeing as he had been in a four-person dorm for the past two years; but it was perfect to him. He pushed all the bags to the corner, aside from one that he walked to the fridge. "Bear, lay down." He commanded in his deepis* tone of voice. He slid a few beers into the fridge, along with some water; grabbing one of the waters and opening it up.

He cracked the door open slightly, before plopping down on the couch, scratching Bear's ears as he cooed; "Welcome back home bud."

Name: Anais Naolin.
Gender: Female.
Age: 23.
School year: 4. (Took a gap year… so she’s behind by about a year.)
School(s) of Magic: Destruction/Illusion.

Personality: Anais comes across as unapproachable and standoffish, usually not speaking very often. When she does, it’s usually only a sentence or two to bluntly answer whomever has spoken to her. She finds humor in most things that others would, but expresses it usually through a small, short burst of air exhaled from her nose in a snort or a short laugh. Most of her facial expressions are small, and she smirks using only one corner of her lips instead of actually smiling. To most who do not know her, she would come off as strange, unfriendly, or unsocial. However, whenever someone gets to know her and she trusts them, she is a fiercely loyal friend. She wouldn’t exactly lay her life down for just any friend, but for those who have proven to her that they would do the same, she would do anything to help them through a tough time. She considers her cat Balto her only true friend.

Physical Appearance: Anais is a thin woman, weighing only about 125 pounds at the most. Standing at around 6’5”, she’s usually one of the tallest in the room * especially for a woman. She’s pale, with only the lightest touches of tan from sunnier days. Starting at her head, Anais’ long raven-colored hair reaches to her lower waist, usually tied back in a long ponytail, braid, or left loose to hang over her shoulders. The most attractive thing about her, usually, is her eyes. Golden, almost like embers in a dying fire, framed with long black eyelashes, they appear * when up close – to be almost dancing flames. But of course, that would be ridiculous… then again, she is a fourth-year Illusion student.

Anais’ thin body isn’t rail-thin, but well-proportioned for a woman of her size. She’s mostly legs and arms, all of her appendages bearing the description of “long” and “thin”. She bears multiple tattoos, all references to things

she loves or things she has done. Most tattoos are not visible underneath normal clothing, but the ones always visible are the one on her right hand and the one behind her left ear. Her right hand’s tattoo is of a moon and star joined together, the moon facing to the left. The one behind her left ear is of a strange downward-facing, two-pointed pincer with a single dot in the middle. Both are done in black ink.

Attire: Usually, Anais wears t-shirts, skinny jeans, sneakers… normal young adult things. She’s rather found of moons and stars, usually wearing jewelry that has a motif of either symbol. She never wears anything resembling pink, sticking to darker hues including blues, reds, blacks/grays, or greens. Hats aren’t her favorite thing, so she will rarely wear them.

History: Mostly can be summed up in a paragraph. Grew up to a non-magical family, developed a strange affinity for magical occurrences at a young age but ignored them to appear “normal” to everyone around her. Anais, after a year following “normal” school, decided to attend a school attuned to her ‘needs’ in order to hone them. If someone wants specifics, they simply have to ask at a time that she feels they should know more.

Pet: Anais owns a fat, fluffy Maine **** cat named Balto. Balto is named such, as she tells whomever asks, because he looks similar to the American dog/wolf hero featured in the animated movie. His fur is gray tiger-striped, with all four paws bearing white “boots”. Unfortunately, as Balto has been snipped, his fluffiness can only be half attributed to his fur. The rest of it is weight gained from his lazy habit of laying on anything cozy and near a window.

Other: This is more of suggestion if needed for further reference. For the eyes, it’s easier to picture them as Smaug’s color of eyes. Pupil is normal, iris color is the same.

"Balto, come."

A gray tiger-striped ball of fur bounded down the hallway, chirping little sounds of apology as it entangled itself between a pair of long legs. Clad in black skinny jeans, the legs began to stride down the hallway, a pair of fingers snapping gently in the direction of the puffball who lingered behind. Another chirp, and Balto followed his human eagerly. ~You're energetic now... just wait. Two minutes in the room and you'll be sleeping in the window.~ The woman attached to the pair of legs rolled her golden eyes, raising her eyebrows at the door that hid her room behind it. Glancing up and down the hallway, she passed her card over the reader. As the lock clicked, Anais pushed it open gently, allowing Balto to dart past her. He strutted around the living area for a moment, then leaped up onto the window sill to clean his front paws as Anais propped the door open. Where she was asocial, Balto was quite the social butterfly when it came to other people and pets. She wasn't going to deny him new friends on the first day.

Anais had arrived slightly earlier in the day to carry her two suitcases up to her room, the two bags still sitting unpacked on the bed in the adjoining room. She had been in a single room for years, preferring the company of Balto to other humans. The only messes she ever had to deal with came from herself or her companion, and it was the perfect arrangement. Anais simply preferred solitude to roommates. Passing into the bedroom, she tossed her ID card onto the bed beside the two suitcases. Grabbing a few things that didn't belong in the closet, she strode back into the living area. As she passed Balto, she scratched right behind his ears, smirking as she did so.

((I'm here for about 50ish minutes if you're active and want to RP))

Christian hung the last shirt up in his closet. With that, he was officially done moving in. He finished off the bottle of water he grabbed before starting on the task, and tossed it across the room into the small trashcan he had set down. ~Swish~ He smirked, looking down at Bear.

"The crowd goes wild, Christian Williams with the game winner!" He said, in an announcer tone, while he scratched the big dog's face. "Alright, I'm going to see who's around." He said, pulling on one of the 20 or so hats he had hung on the west wall of his room. This one happened to be an Oregon Ducks flatbill, causing Christian to give a sad smile.

~Oh what could've been...~ He thought, as he strode out the door into the living room. "See ya later Bear!" He called, as he grabbed his wallet off the coffee table and headed out.

The res hall was bustling as usual on the first day, old friends reconnecting, and of course; freshman doing their best to meet new people now that they were away from mommy and daddy. One door down the hall was propped open slightly, so Christian headed towards it. Once he got to it, he knocked and cleared his throat; "Um, anyone home?"

Anais had managed to unpack one of the suitcases and half of the other in a short period of time, her room now resembling what it normally did. A few cat toys were littered across the floor, evidence that Balto had not settled immediately into his usual routine of sleeping most of the day. Anais herself was sorting through the last suitcase on the couch, half-filled with items for the bathroom. In her head was a mental list of items she needed that was beginning to grow quite long, and silently she cursed herself for being so forgetful. ~That's what I get for packing at the last minute...~

A knock resounded from the doorway, and Balto, who had been napping on the windowsill behind Anais, chirped sleepily as his head shot up to examine whomever was at the door. Anais did not straighten immediately, but merely turned her head. In the doorway was a younger man, dressed casually for the day. He had asked if anyone was home, and she fought the urge to roll her eyes. ~Of course, I'm standing right here,~ she resisted saying, resorting to merely answering, "Yes."

Anais straightened, pulling gently on the edge of the loose gray tank top that she wore to make sure it hadn't ridden up while she had been bent over the suitcase. Stepping over a discarded ball, she approached the doorway, hands in her back pockets. Raising an eyebrow, she casually looked over her visitor. "You live nearby, I take it?"

Christian almost had to take a step back when the girl answered the door...for a couple of reasons, one; she stood almost eye to eye with him. He rarely had that happen with guys, let alone a girl. And of course the other reason, her eyes were gold!

After staring for a brief second he stammered, "uh, I- um...yeah, I live down the hall a bit. I just decided to go exploring to get out and stretch my legs." He chuckled, adjusting his hat a bit. "I'm Christian, Christian Williams." He smiled, extending his hand to introduce himself; "Destruction and Alteration, year 3." He added.

((Update, I have to leave for work. I'll be back on about 6pm Central Time, feel free to timeskip an hour or two to unfreeze, even though you're the only other player lol))

Anais held back a smirk as the boy stammered his way though an introduction. She was used to such from most, especially men who didn't expect her height. As a woman, she stood taller than most men she had encountered, and since her height wasn't entirely apparent while seated or from a distance, it had quite the impact when standing very near to someone. She noted his eyes had lingered on her own, and she realized that her height alone wasn't what had caught him off-guard, it was her eyes.

As a fourth-year illusion student, she had gotten many accusations of using her abilities to "enhance" her irises' appearance. Sad to say, she never did. The effect her eyes appeared to have on others was entirely natural. Anais simply raised an eyebrow as the boy finished introducing himself, taking note of his name for later.

"Christian," she tested, nodding slightly. "I'm Anais." She gently grasped his hand, dropping it after a few seconds. "Naolin, fourth year. Destruction and Illusion." As the two had spoken to each other, Anais had not heard her companion leap down from the windowsill to join them. As Balto wove himself between her legs, Anais glanced down for a brief moment. "That's Balto." She leaned against the doorway, supporting her weight with her shoulder and crossing her right leg at the ankle in front of her left. Crossing her arms against her stomach, she watched as Balto moved toward Christian, pink nose flaring as he sniffed at his shoes.

((Alright. I work tonight as well - yay, adult life :/ - so I'll be back on around 12:30am eastern time.))

((well, I wasn't expecting to be this long...but I'm here lol.))

Christian smiled, "Anais; that's a unique name." He said, "It's nice to meet another Destruction student already. I can't believe I haven't seen you in any classes these past couple of years.." He added, giving another warm smile.

He saw the cat make his way through the girl's long legs and the smile faded for a moment. ~Oh...a cat... neat .~ Christian loved animals...but cats weren't exactly on the top of the list for him. Regardless, as the fluff ball sniffed at his Nike slides and socks combo he was rocking; he put on a grin and stooped down to stroke it. "Hi Balto, you're just a big fluffy guy aren't ya? You must smell my puppy!" He exclaimed, ~That's a thing with cats too right?~ He thought, ~Yeah...just..go with it..~ He argued in his head.
