Xy
Identity

Xy was ugly

Her hair was brown and a tad scraggly with hints of bright orange and red coloring that were quite vibrant in the light. But that only happened when she was clean and she hadn't been to finicky about her appearance in the past two decades.

Her eyes also, were a brilliant amber. Perfect hunters eyes maybe, but they weren't all that attractive.

Not at all human either..

Xy shrugged her thin shoulders and tried to concentrate on the things she could change.

She wore large bulbous gold earrings half as wide as her fist on both ears. There was also four strings of "beads" one falling in front and behind each ear. The "beads" were pale white and fell past her shoulders.

Thank heavens "hair wraps" were so popular..

She had managed to grab a few odds and ends to serve as clothing. Mostly made of muslim in earthy brown tones. It suited her nature. She turned back to the natural hot spring and dove in.

A few hours later she was washed and dressed. To the oblivious passerby Xy looked like any ordinary human. Amber eyes that had seen to much for a girl of what looked to be fourteen years and the scar on her forehead declared otherwise on further inspection.

Her scar..

It was roughly shaped like an 'x' with four tiny dots close to the center in the hollows of the x's "arms". When she began studying the modern English alphabet she had found it ironic that the first letter of her name looked so much like her scar. It was a symbol of her family line's legacy and most importantly, the power of a mother's love.

That x also meant immortality.

Xy eyed the house on Privet Drive with disdain.

Oh sure there were a lot of nice people who minded their own business and weren't half bad people at all. But Number Four practically wafted prejudice and fear.

There was a boy there. A boy who shared a past not unlike her own. He too was marked and chosen. Not in the same way as she, but the concept was the same. And if the rumors floating about held any spark of truth, she knew he would be going through a lot now.

Heaven knows why I still sane after I lost Bant..

Grief filled her but Xy did not cry. Humans cried and Xy was not human.
