“I can tell when there is something going on and I know there is something here. There always is.”

During her whole life, few things were as fascinating to Lucille as other people. Rather than losing herself into fiction about fantastic creatures and other worlds, she’d always sought out to learn more about people, real people, seeking to know the stories of those around her, gathering those for her own amusement and soon working on sharing it with everyone else. Her inquiring nature, however, often drove her to push or ignore some boundaries, especially those concerning a story she might have considered particularly interesting. Back in high school, her behavior was often considered stalker-like, even if Lucille herself had never considered that to be quite accurate. It also wasn’t like her to purposefully take advantage of the connections and relationships she made, but when presented with an opportunity to dig a little deeper for a piece of information, she knew how to use any leverage she happened to have or how to make people grow comfortable enough to tell her the right things. That ended up leading her to quickly assuming an “agree first, ask later” behavior, believing on experiencing as many things as possible in order to have stories worth telling in the end.
However, due to her almost compulsive need to stick to her journalistic integrity, quite a few relationships were broken along the way, being worn down by her inability to keep a secret and her tendency to push people to talk more than they wanted to. She often sought out people that were as curious as she was, thinking that surrounding herself with those of a similar behavior would make it easier for them to stay, but it didn’t work as well as she wanted it to, and Lucille soon found it easier to simply disconnect her mind from herself and focus entirely on other people, often getting out of touch with her own feelings due to the sheer effort of trying to sync up with others. That didn’t mean that she shied away from social situations, but she’d always been good at listening, and through the years, Lucille learned to only make her voice heard when it mattered. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to bring attention to herself, but that she understood the importance of good timing, especially given the job she’d been doing. Being one to catch onto things rather quickly, Lucille is one to follow her gut rather than reason most of the time,  her stubborn quest to uncover whatever truth she is choosing landing her into trouble more often than not. She does try to get out of things with some sense of dignity, but she’s had relationships and opportunities ruined by that quite enough times.
In a sense, going to Tala Springs would seem like she was running away from all her problems back home. But Lucille is not a coward – rather, she’s simply following her instinct that tells her there is something just waiting to be uncovered there, especially taking in consideration the reason why Mary Ann went to her in the first place. If it means having a time away from people she pissed off, – accidentally or not – it’s just a bonus to the whole situation. Accompanied by Hazel, one of the few friends she managed not to push away, Lucille is going to use every trick up her sleeve to unravel the truth, as unpleasant as it might be.

“Well someone has to care for you all.”

The Riker sisters are known around town as “the beautiful pair”, and they not only live up to the name, they exceed it. Both girls are show-stoppers all around, and not just in that small town way. They would attract attention anywhere they went. Charlotte, also know as Lottie or Charlie to her friends, is the older Riker sister, even if they do look like they could be fraternal twins. She also happens to be the less innocent of the two, and the one who has best understood humans from an early age. What choice did she have? She had to take care of her little sister and in trying to protect her and preserve her innocence had to grow up faster herself. You could say that Charlotte is a very dedicated person is almost everything she does, and she did her best, in spite of her own reluctances, to befriend humans, to get to know them and integrate as well as she could, on the outside remaining a loyal friend, while in the inside keeping enough distance. She was subtle about it too, finding ways to keep them out of her home whilst not offending them. A good thing too, because she often needed a break to just be alone with her sister, it was difficult forcing herself to be around humans when everything in her nature told her not to.

Fortunately as she met certain graced animals, it eased off a good deal of the stress, even if by then she was in terms of behaviour and public habits a lot more human than many of them. She’s even allowed quite a few boys to kiss and make out with her growing up, knowing that this made her desirable, which she assumed meant that she was fully accepted and respected. And yes, as far as the graced men and boys go, she’s gone all the way, even if she’s never really dated. Partially because she herself wanted to, but also because she counted on hearsay to give her a certain kind of reputation. Ian for instance is probably her best friend and the closest person to her after Fawn, and they’ve always had a sort of friends with benefits arrangement. But Lottie is far too concerned with caring for others, she has a tendency not to pay attention to her more subtle feelings. Having graced friends however helped her balance things out, even though Fawn tried to help, because for some time she was struggling with the amount of phasing she could indulge in so as not to lose her grace or end up stuck or lose her ability to change at will. On the other hand this has given her exceptional self control and discipline over her gift and she has a far better capacity at controlling her body than other graced, it takes a lot for her to phase involuntarily outside of full moons. 

More than a pretty face however, Charlotte was capable of picking up human academics with a lot of ease and has gone to medical school, deciding to open up a very much needed clinic for Tala Springs. She had also intended to pursue Veterinary medicine, because who else will heal the graced when they’re wounded under their animal form? That pursuit was interrupted however when Fawn fell in to depression, and she ended up having to share her time between nursing her sister back to health and the clinic. She’s picked it up again, but secretly, knowing what the humans would think if she was looking to heal both people and animals.

With just a look they shook
And heavens bowed before her.
Simply a look can break your heart. - Miss Murder by AFI

Lilith is a rather mysterious person. No one really knows much about her, no one really dares. She oozes power and sexuality to a point of toxicity, and with reason. She is the sole responsible for drugs being available in Tala Springs to begin with. Not to mention providing alcohol to minors, poached animals (including endangered species) and anything that your dark little heart may desire. Her operations extend outside of Tala of course, and has some very powerful clients who are interested in acquiring specimens of the local protected fauna, dead or alive. Of course she is extremely cunning and manipulative, a real snake in the grass both figuratively and literally. She doesn’t get her own hands dirty ever, however when it comes to her fangs, she doesn’t hesitate. What does it matter? Her victims never get away, and if the last thing they see is a woman turning in to a snake, the horror doesn’t have time to settle in before the venom does. She doesn’t have any family, snakes never do, and no one is quite sure where she came from, but has always seemed to be in the background, to most present inhabitants. 

Lilith has little to no regards for animal and human lives and as little as she cares about the other graced, she knows the rules and wouldn’t harm them unless attacked. She is solitary and needs to spend a lot of time alone, both as a snake and as a woman, to maintain balance and avoid snapping, particularly at some of the more irritating individuals. She does however love plants and view gardening and botany as a therapeutic pastime. Naturally, she enjoys most the kind of plants snakes like to nestle in, but she also is affectionate of predatory and venomous plants. Venus Fly Traps anyone?

Cold and calculating, she is mostly devoid of any real emotion, particularly those pertaining to empathy and kinship. In fact it was a shock to her the first time she phased in to a woman, to discover this new brain layers on top of the basic reptilian brain she only possessed as a snake. Her underlings respect and fear her, none of them aware of her secret, contributing to the mythology surrounding her. None of the locals would ever dare get in her way and the Sheriff has never been capable of pinching her, even if he knows she’s responsible for a handful of illegal activities, what can he do when there is no direct evidence linking her to it? She runs an adult store as a front, knowing very few people would ever visit, let alone shop at it. Kind of strange no one wonders how she hasn’t gone bankrupt. But when two journalists appear in town to investigate strange phenomena, Lilith knows things might just be thrown out of balance. She finds out one of her own underlings called them in, greatly annoyed at this fact but knowing it is too late now to get rid of her.

“After Jesus and Rock n’ Roll, couldn’t save my immoral soul well, I’ve got nothing left to lose”

At a first glance, Angel might seem like your stereotypical high school rebel. She’s everything her name is not; sex, drugs and rock n’ roll all washed down with a hefty glass of alcohol. She knows how to party and how to go at it hard. But more than just your typical rock music enthusiast, she’s a singer, an aspiring musician with a wonderful voice. Being a talented singer she managed to form a band with some of the local boys with whom she tries to perform wherever and whenever she can. Angel doesn’t make any effort to hide the fact she likes to live on the wild side. When she’s not jamming with the band, she can usually be found at parties, flirting up a storm or sleeping in class to do so. She lost her virginity a long time ago and is perceived as eccentric by most of the town’s population with how open she is about her sexuality. Gender is the least of her concerns, she just likes to hook up with graced hotties.

Some might think that she’s just edgy, a rebel without a cause and while it is true she has a lot of anger, she usually expresses it in her music, rather than getting in actual fights. She’s quick-tempered but fairly laid-back, and she’s actually rather friendly with most people, preferring not to pass judgment over the preppier, more uptight individuals. She knows everyone’s little secrets, because underneath her spacey exterior, lies a very cunning and attentive little fox… Quite literally. Perhaps that is why she refrains from being judgmental, (except of Brandon), as she knows that she herself could be judged for this secret not to mention the other one. Her mother died when she was young, killed by a poacher, Brandon’s father and nourishes a profound hatred for Brandon after realizing what his father did and what he himself does today. When her mother died, her father began wasting away and stayed in his human form for too long, turning in to a deranged alcoholic, which is the real reason Angel avoid being home as much as she can. 

Angel plans to try and find a way to sell Brandon out to the cops or the journalists by seducing him and trying to get him to make a mistake at some point. The question is, will her need for revenge exceed her compassion?

“Dad would be really disappointed if he knew but, I love to bake. I just do.”

Sabine Pelletier has lived in Tala Springs for as long as she can remember, the latest of many in a long line of graced Florida Panthers. Her parents very much drilled in to her head the fact that this was their rightful land, that they shouldn’t have to share it with humans. They recounted to her the tales of the gods and the sacred position their direct ancestor held towards them. She herself doesn’t really believe in the gods and what she perceives as legends and myths surrounding them. It did however leave her with a trained sense of superiority that seems to be a natural part of her aura. On the other hand she blends in perfectly with the locals in terms of habits and behaviour, the only thing distinguishing her seems to be her refusal to fraternize with humans. Ordinary people think she is being selective, but the other graced are aware she only sticks with them, when she chooses to be sociable. While Sabine does try to live up to her upbringing there is in truth, much more to her.

To begin with, her father was a skilled hunter both under his human form and his animal form and just like his forefathers lived primarily off of it, as well as a wildlife and forest guard. Indeed, there has never been a single poacher in her family. Why poach? This was their land, they respected and loved it, as well as the creatures inhabiting it. And while Sabine found this admirable, she was never able to admit to her father while he was still alive that she didn’t want to hunt. Her real passion was in baking, and she was very skilled at it indeed, which is why she became an apprentice baker at the town bakery. She doesn’t particularly appreciate the fact her superior is a squirrel of all things, but she recognizes his talent, he doesn’t charge to teach her and even pays her occasionally when she helps for larger orders, with the promise of a position when she’s done with her apprenticeship.

The other reason she hides her sensitive, artistic interior with an abrasive personality and aloof demeanour is not just because she was brought up to act like she was superior. It was also a matter of self preservation. Had her father known she was pining for Brandon during her teenage years, he would have tanned her hide and killed the boy himself. Her father was well aware that Brandon was the son of the hunting shop’s owner, whom he happened to know was a poacher. He was unfortunately never able to prove it, but the hunting accident that killed the man may’ve not been an accident at all. Even after her father died, or maybe especially after her father died, it left her with an internal dilemma in regards to liking someone who was not only human, but a poacher, technically thieving off the lands that were her birthright and killing the nature she loves.

“I come from a place where the night lasts for months. Where the sky is dark and the wind bites your bones and the hard truth is that you are always alone.”

Diana is a long way from her original birthplace. She was born in the cold, unforgiving lands of the Scandinavian north, Sweden to be exact. True kingdom of the wolves, graced and un-graced alike, one might think a wolf would be blessed to find a home there, but not Diana. Diana had been unlucky from the day she was born, for rather than the steely greys and whites of arctic circle, she was born jet black. The natural tendency in the animal kingdom is generally to reject individuals exhibiting an unusual characteristic. Particularly when, in a world where the best camouflage was a colour as white as the driven snow, one would stick out like a sore thumb. How could she possibly ever hope to catch any kind of prey if she could not creep up on it? Her mother loved her too much to simply let nature take its course however, and begged her pack to give it time, perhaps she would shed out a different colouring? She was right, as Diana grew older she changed colours… She went from jet to raven-wing black with silver highlights, and the she-wolf had to accept that her daughter could never fit in here. She taught her daughter everything she knew before giving her up to the local ranger, an old graced polar bear who was aware of keeping this mostly human-free kingdom separated from the rest of the world. 

The old ranger taught her the importance of his job, the differences between humans, animals and the graced. He taught her that most wolves, the graced and ungraced alike, had been hunter to near extinction, and she developed a hatred towards humans, though she’d never met them. He home-schooled her, as the nearest schools were so far away they would have required her to board which was not an option. It was very lonely and very hard for her growing up, her inner wolf spurred on by a deep desire to be with her own kind. Often she would phase and go wander the lands in search of her old pack, or others… even ungraced companions would do. The old ranger warned her against it numerous times, but she kept insisting on doing so. The benefit was that she learned how to hunt. It took her a long time before she was capable of making her first kill, and while her human form grew mostly normally, her wolf form ended up being rather small, especially compared to the rather large Scandinavian wolves. What she lacked in power, she made up for in speed and intelligence. A good thing too, because by the time she actually did encounter one of her own kind again, she was attacked rather savagely. She narrowly escaped and was absolutely shocked. Diana reasoned that it was simply a bad encounter. But after the same thing happened a couple of times, she had to come to the conclusion that even her kin did not want her. It added salt to the wound of being left by her mother, no matter how much she knew she loved her, and sowed resent in her heart. 

The old bear could see that she was growing restless, and though he’d hope she’d take over when he passed away, he was no where near his death bed and sent her to Tala Springs, after telling her about the gods of legend. He knew of the gathering that was taking place there and could feel in his old bones that Brother Moon and Sister Sun had reawakened and calling their children. He made her promise to return when he’d pass, and she was off. She took up a position as a ranger, which suits her knowledge and personality just fine. Diana is very weary of strangers, she doesn’t let people close to her, capable of getting quite aggressive if they get insistent. She avoids the other wolves out of habit, automatically thinking they will want to harm her. She doesn’t know it, but all she wants and needs is love, acceptance and affection.

”Fear is powerful, but love is stronger. It has to be…”

Mandy Goodman is what many of the regular folks from Tala Springs would call the ideal girl. No, an angel. She is one of the sweetest girls you’ve ever met and has never even hurt a fly. If unicorns were real, she’d have a herd following her every step as soon as she entered a forest. Her parents adore her and always taught her that love was the most important thing in all creatures. Everyone needs love, there are all kinds of love of course, and it did not really matter what the nature of your love was, so long as you harboured loving feelings for your fellow mankind, animals and all of the creation really. So love she does, or tries to. She tries to find the best in everyone, tries to show understanding to those who do things she considers bad, tries to never turn her back on anyone. Because more than anyone perhaps, she needs love, because love is the only thing that can fight fear. And while it is true Mandy seems to have a bottomless amount of love to give, she also has a monstrous quantity of fear in her heart. 
You might think someone with so much kindness would be taken advantage of, but the truth is, to most people it would never even cross their minds to hurt her. Not even the throng of boys who pursue her recklessly would ever dare harm her in any way. Never has she encountered an animal that tried harming her either, domestic or wild, she just seems to have a way with them. She has good grades, she doesn’t do drugs or drink, has remained a virgin which added to her sunny, gentle exterior shields entirely the fact she is scared. She’s scared because she inherited Huntington’s disease from her father who is slowly dying, as he is in the last phases of the disease. Her mother is almost always in Tampa caring for him, and it has come to the point where Mandy is incapable of going to visit him because it is hard enough to face the fact she will die early, but to see what her death will look like in the face is a lot to take for a teenager. Additional testing revealed that her genetic variant means that is very aggressive and she could be dead by her late twenties, early thirties at best. No one in Tala Springs knows, except for her brother who miraculously did not inherit the gene for Huntington’s.

While she’s always kind to the boys and declines their advances as sweetly as possible, none of them ever caught her eye because simply put, she knows she prefers girls. She keeps this a secret because while she does not personally believe it is wrong, she’s afraid of what other people would think. After all, this is rural Florida. So to compensate for her fear and for her repressed romantic desires, she just spreads as much kindness as she can, to everyone.

“I know what the boys want, I learned that the hard way. Now I make the rules.”

The Riker sisters are known around town as “the beautiful pair”, and they not only live up to the name, they exceed it. Both girls are show-stoppers all around, and not just in that small town way. They would attract attention anywhere they went. Fawn is the younger of the two sisters and to this day the hardest to get. Perhaps because they work in completely different manners. It hasn’t always been this way mind you, when Fawn was a teenager she was as innocent and naive as the proverbial doe. Her heart fluttered fast for Jay Liamson and, like many human girls, let alone young graced, didn’t know any better. So naturally when he convinced her to a bed, she gave him her body… Along with her heart. And the bastard gladly took both, enjoying a feast fit for a king. But as with most teenage boys he was incapable of appreciating his luck, and he soon took off, never giving her anything in return. Fawn was left heartbroken and deeply shaken by her first brush with romance and it changed her. For a long time she nourished a pretty bad depression, and had her sister not been there to nurse her, who knows where she’d be today. 


When she eventually got over it a smile found its way to her lips once more, but deep down she never quite recovered, not wanting to open up her heart to anyone just yet. It opened up her eyes to what most boys want, and while she remains charming, at times even taking advantage of it, she never lets them anywhere near her body… or her heart. In fact at times she even enjoys toying with them, just like she was cruelly toyed with, the difference being she never leads them on to that same point. Nonetheless she is a real tease. She is qualified to work as a nurse, helping out her sister at the clinic as well as in the high school. This is only temporary as she is on her way to become a doctor like Charlotte. She’s courteous with most graced, and works her charm like a magician with humans, but usually sticks to her own kind as far as emotional closeness goes. She is weary and suspicious of newcomers and strangers. 

Her desire to be a doctor and to hold up a position as a nurse doesn’t just come from family tradition or following in her sister’s footsteps. She genuinely does have a nurturing and protective soul towards the young and the defenseless, which is eventually what started to draw her to Neve, who in spite of being only three years younger still strikes her as a… fawn. There is also the fact the key doe is simply too adorable both as a human and a deer. She’s the first of her kind that Fawn has met and didn’t know it was possible for a grown deer to be that small, being not much larger than a white-tailed deer young, which naturally triggers her protective and nurturing instincts.

“I’m usually alone at night. I don’t mind, I just wish I didn’t feel so… Lonely.”

Neve doesn’t remember much from her childhood. Her father was a rather unfaithful and temperamental Key Buck. His status as a graced caused conflict with his deeply seated animal nature, for it gave him the conscience of his specific species own plight and he grew to resent humans. He rejected his grace and when his doe, Neve’s mother did not want to follow him, he disappeared, never to be heard of again. At times, Neve hopes she’ll catch a whiff of him in the wind, but knows she probably never will. Her mother raised her to the best of her ability as a single mother and a lone doe, having moved to Tala Springs, which was a long way from the habitat of most remaining Key deer. Still, an effort was being developed to reintroduce them in Egmont Key, which wasn’t too far from Tampa and figured that while they weren’t graced, they’d be less lonely. There weren’t many graced Key deer to begin with, and this way Neve could grow up with others her age and of her very special birth indeed. Eventually as Neve grew in to a teenager, her mother felt the very pressing and alarming need to find a mate and finally gave in to the urge when her daughter reached around sixteen years old in human age, moving back to Sugarloaf Key, insistent however that Neve stayed behind. That was the last the young girl ever saw her mother even though they have kept in touch. Nonetheless Neve is aware it is difficult what with her latest half-sibling and it gets lonely at times. Neve carries this chagrin towards her parents inside her heart, not to mention the general awareness she has of her species plight, both graced and not. That is not to say however, that she is the brooding type, to the contrary, her loneliness is both fuelled and a fuel to her gregariously inclined nature. Unlike her much larger white tail counterparts, she is mostly unafraid of humans, both in her animal and human form. She has a tendency to want to get quite close to the regular people around her, and has a strong desire to make friends with all whom she encounters. One could say she is too trusting, which is definitely not a good thing when you mix it with her innocent side and her stubborn desire to only see the good in people, going so far as to not thinking twice about frequenting (or trying to) predators. Her outward self is rather bright, which was the meaning behind her given name, a variation of Niamh (but with a far more sensible spelling). Her optimism is what keeps her going, acting as a constant balm over her inner wounds. Perhaps it is the instinct to mate, perhaps it is the loneliness, but she tends to crush very easily on people though girls particularly, moreso if they have a protective and nurturing way about them, a foil to her own child-like demeanour. Her advances are unfortunately usually rejected, and so with her need to be very affectionate, she’ll take up most boys on their offers to take her out, thinking her feelings towards them are genuine (and sometimes they are). Nevertheless her fickle nature means that, before long she casts her doe eyes on the next girl who smiles at her just kindly enough, and the pattern starts over. As such she’s never had a serious relationship and hasn’t gotten past second base with anyone as of yet, and isn’t conscious of what she wants or needs, following her instinctual cravings, both human and animal. Make no mistake however, she had a feisty side to her and can be passionate about what she believes in, her life goal to try and restore the Key deer population in all the Floridian Keys, studying wildlife conservation in school, working as a lifeguard to support herself. Keep in mind that while it is tempting to think otherwise, particularly because of her small height and innocent demeanour, she is not gullible or a pushover (she’d have to be more grounded for that). She cherishes all lifeforms.
