Hey there, my name is Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way. I hate it though, so I go just by my first and last names. I have long black hair, which in fact, is how I got my name. My parents had a great sense of humor. My hair has purple streaks, and red tips, and I think it actually might be my best feature, which is why I try to draw attention to it. I mean, if you've got it, flaunt it, right? My eyes are a frosty sort of blue, and they kind of look limpid and filled with tears because I never wear my glasses. Because of that I always have somewhat squinty, wet looking eyes. I should really try to fix that, actually.
Some people tell me that I look like Amy Lee, and I just laugh and say thanks. Occasionally people near us ask who Amy Lee is and I tell them to get the hell out, because who doesn't know who Amy Lee is? I mean come on! Sometimes I wish I was related to Gerard Way, because he's such a hottie, but alas, I'm not.
I happen to be a vampire, but contrary to popular lore, my teeth are straight, white and my canines aren't especially pointy. I'm also pretty pale, you know, from that whole undead aspect of my life. I can't imagine most corpses having more than a sickly tan, and I'm no exception to that rule. I also happen to be a witch who goes to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I'm currently in my seventh year here, and have just turned seventeen. I'm pretty gothic as well. I adopted it to really embrace the muggle standards of vampirism. At first it was a bit forced, but I really started getting into it when I was about eleven or twelve.
Now being the stereotype for gothic entailed wearing almost all black all the time. Black shoes, black shirts, black pants, black makeup, you name it. The trick to being gothic is extremes. You want all extremes from all spectrums, black clothes, white skin, bright red and purple hair, see? Because of this whole gothic thing, the best place to buy my clothes is Hot Topic, and because of that in a way it has become one of my favorite stores. Unfortunately, because Hot Topic caters to the "LOL HATERZ TROLL FACE HAHAHAHA LMFAO!1!" part of society, the only really real gothic type clothing were the corsets and the likes of them.
Today I was wearing a black corset, with black lace that matched the lace on black leather miniskirt I had on. I had on some ripped pink fishnets, and clunky black combat boots. The pop of pink was the extreme portion of the outfit that really drew attention. Makeup wise I had on some white foundation, shockingly close to my real color, black lipstick, a little black eyeliner, and some red eye shadow in a gradient to really make my blue eyes pop. The darker red along the outer v, and the lighter colors progressing to my tear ducts.
I was walking outside of the school near the quad going to my next class. It was slowly transitioning from rain to sleet to snow so there it was the oddest type of precipitation. There was no sun though, and so I was happy about that. Vampires may not burn to little crisps in the sun, but we sunburned very easily.
Some stupid looking preppy girls pointed at me and laughed. I snickered at them and flipped them the bird. They had been teasing me since year one, and this year I vowed not to take their shit anymore.
"Hey," came a voice, "Ebony!" I turned to look for who was calling me, and lo and behold it was Draco Malfoy. Certainly not someone I expected to be calling me.
"What's up, Draco?" I asked curiously.
"Nothing much," he said in a sweetly quiet voice. He almost sounded shy.
"Ebony? Ebony!"
I turned to see my friends looking for me, and he noticed and nodded. I went to go find them, but not before smiling at Draco again.
