A series of drabbles centered around a couple of original characters created by me, before and after a major storyline of mine which hasn't yet flowered. This will also include plot threads which I may or may not incorporate in the main story. I mean, it's fanfiction. First, some character info.

History: Celia lives in a world that's basically an amalgamation of certain horror films, book series, comics, and manga. Besides Shadyside, this universe is also the home of Bizenghast. Others include Candyman, Mermaid Saga, and certain Twilight Zone episodes. She lives in the town of Shadyside, the main setting for R.L. Stine's "Fear Street" universe. She's the legitimate/illegitimate younger half-sister of Danielle Cortez, one of the members of the "Doomed Class" of seniors at Shadyside High. Danielle was the first to die, they found her body in the gym with all her blood drained from her body. The two vampires in question were "transfer students" Jon and Anita. When traveling to Shadyside for her sister's funeral, Celia met with the "third" of the group, Alicia. A game of cat-and-mouse insured throughout Shadyside that night, culminating in a stand-off in the derelict Fear Street Mansion until Alicia, very irate and pissed off, lunged at Celia and the two fell through a window. Alicia finally sank her teeth in Celia's neck as the sun began to burn her skin and finally obliterated her. Celia spent two weeks as in Shadyside hospital when whatever it is that Alicia's bite did to her began taking effect. She's a "half" vampire now, and yes I know that is a cliche, and she seems to realize it too. She can understand her augmented strength and height, but the increase in breast size is something that annoys her. She's actually uncomfortable with them and does not flaunt them or dress like an "innocent tease" and usually wears t-shirts that cover them up. She has spent her time learning about Shadyside's history, particularly on the Fear Family, the twisted family from which most of Shadyside's problems stem from, and has now made it her mission as to expose Shadyside's darker side and get people to wake up.
Personality: Surly and gruff, Celia has gained a reputation as a "rebel without a cause". None of the boys make any passes at her because of her boobs, mostly because they're too afraid of her, but the girls think she's a freak. Actually, everyone does. She acts very cold and rude towards the other students at Shadyside and frequently calls them bimbos and morons, but her anger is multiplied when dealing with adults, save for the elderly. The thing is, Celia is somewhat conflicted. She is amazed at the stupidity and two-dimensional personalities of the students around her, yet at the same she feels sympathy and sorrow for them, as to the fact that at least four or three of them die in a month. Yet her sympathy is trumped as few of these kids show barely any "remorse" for their dead friends and a month later it's like they've completely forgotten them. But her real anger is at the idiotic adults who fail to realize something is wrong with this town and their kids, or that no one connected the dots when a senior class' members began dying off once a month. She almost never smiles in public and is usually scowling. She's mostly motivated by doing what she does so that way the teenagers of this town can actual realize how their lives have been going up to this point, and that they may live to become adults and try not to be as big morons as their parents. She does have a soft side, and extends it mostly to Anaxandra Fier, the girl she meets in the story. It's hard to actually like Celia unless you've seen a part of her good side.
Hobbies: Celia personifies some of the aspects of teen culture from the 1990s, which is in tandem with Fear Street's publication in the 1990s. She wears torn jeans and reads comic books such as Gen13 and WildCATS. She listens to alternative, punk, and garage. She gets horrible grades, but mostly because she doesn't really care about them or homework when she has so much else on her mind. Despite not caring what she looks like she does believe in taking care of herself and tries to eat healthy and exercise, not like the other "good girl/final girl blondes" who always keep perfect figures with no zits even though they never worry about what they eat or exercise. She's an okay artist and dancer and collects dolls. No one makes fun of this because she could easily snap their neck.
Powers: She has certain vampiric powers, but that does not include "sparkling" nor does she have some convoluted sexual history like Anne Rice's vampires. She sucks blood, but she's required to do it once a month or else she gets gripped with a horrifying bloodlust. Her fangs are retractable, as are her claws. Her augmented height, strength, and bust size are the result of her infection. She sees vampires as monsters and does not offer any sympathy or remorse for their "troubled souls".
Outfit: Celia's name is an anagram for Alice, which is why, longer into the story, her "dress uniform" is a violet version of the standard "Alice" skirt and blouse, complete with a headband. However, she wears a leather biker jacket to cover her cleavage, but this is under possibility of revision if it doesn't pull together. Her rose color is violet.
Note: Yes, there is some emphasis on her bust size, but there's a reason to it. Have you ever noticed that nearly all horror movies have "good girl/final girl" blonde bimbos with giant breasts who are very prudish yet they run around half naked. Well we know have a girl who is blonde, not a moron, and has breasts that she doesn't flaunt on accident or purpose
