Gabrielle Blagden
Name: Lerena Tollringer
Age: 16
Year in Salem:Junior
Gender:Female
Birthday/Sign:October 31/ Scorpio
Blood Type/Purity:Half
Family Members:Mia and Mikinze Tollringer
Appearance:Standing at 5"5, Lerena is a slender built female but with acceptable curves. With soft facial features she seems to have a glow to her appearance, along with a almost painted face. Her hair is a light auburn color with a natural wave that causes it to fall over her left eye a lot, and leaves her with one unruly strand.
Personality:In a summed up way she has a spit fire of a personality and hates to be told how to do things. True to her sign, she can seem a bit of nag but more of a upright annoyance than anything else. Lerena has found through her previous years at SWIM that only a few people like her, which is fine because it weeds out all those stragglers and thorns in her side. With a bit of moodiness thrown into the mixture she can be a worthy foe or a forever friend. Now even though most people think she is stuck up and rude, she does have a nice side, but only her closet friends and family know of it.
History: Lerena Tollringer born October 31st, 1981 to Mia and Mikinze on a stormy night just outside San Diego California, came to the world as an unpredicted gift to her family. Mia at the time was 21 and told she couldn't have children, devastated by that fact she thought that her husband Mikinze age 24 would leave her. In fact this only made their bonds grow stronger and a year later Lerena came into the picture.
As her parents "miracle" child she was sheltered nearly most of her childhood. Growing up in Mission Beach, California she was always close to the water and thus at the age of 5 learned to swim. Fascinated by the ocean she shared the same passion for the water as her mother Mia and thus the two spent countless hours by the sea. Her father however didn't quite share the same passion and thought that Lerena she devoted some of her time to studding as well. So at age 7 she earned an outstanding reader award for completing a course that was supposed to last 3 months, but she finished it in 1 and a half.
As time went on her mother began to loosen her grip on her daughters life and even allowed some lead for set backs here and there. After a freak accident on March 17th 1991 after yet another horrible storm Lerena and her family lost their home and everything in it. This forced a heavy burden upon her parents shoulders, with thoughts of having to raise their child in poverty Mia began to slowly drift away from her husband and daughter. However, after 6 months of living with a friend of Mikinze's the family was finally able to rebuild their crumbled life.
A new home meant new opportunities for Lerena, now 10 decided that she would persue a dream she had long ago. Entering in a surfing contest she took first prize in the youth devision which in turn made her mother and father very proud. After a such sheltered childhood, her parents decided it was time to get serious about schooling on the magical degree.
Her father decided it would be best to send her to a coven school despite her mother's constant bickering on how their daughter should of been home tutored. During these tender magical developing years of her life she began to realize her dreams to become an a great witch. Also discovering a new talent she found that she also wanted to persue a career in the art world, that was if her parents would allow it after all of her schooling.
In 1995 Lerena was enrolled in SWIM and became a part of the magical community. Within the next year the incident that changed the whole function of SWIM occurred. That night Lerena had just settled down after a rather interesting book on astrology, and was doodling when she heard the loud crash. After finding that students had been taken it gave her a cold chill and made her school, the place she thought was safe feel so insecure. The next day her parents were there ready to pull her out of the school and take her to their safe home back in California. Lerena had to bicker back and forth with them to convince them to let her stay, it was a hard argument but in the end she won over them.

Writing Sample:
The halls were dark but of course they would be because after all the lights had been out for at least an hour now. Lerena had removed her shoes and was walking around the halls in only her stockings. "Alright just a little farther now and I'll have that 7th edition Charms book." Rounding the last corner she ran right into the chest of a rather broad shouldered man.
Stepping back some to catch her balance once again her azul eyes looked up at a Hall Monitor. She did her best to try and play something off, "Well....lets see I was just going to my room and..." she began but the monitor simply grabbed at her arm. "You can tell the Dean that tomorrow." With a sigh she simply let the Hall Monitor take her with him, but that was only for this night, next time she wouldn't get caught.
