I am Alice Fairfox. I live with my parents who run the Paris institute and my little sister Violet who is 15. We live there with the Verlac's and the Penrose's. The Verlac's have a son named Sebastian, whom I cant stand, and the Penrose's have a daughter named Lily. Lilly is the same age as Violet and they are best friends, they became parabatai last year. Sebastian and I are the same age, both of us are 17. We compete with most things and I rarely lose. He is good at tracking, hand to hand combat, agility, sword weilding, strength, and stamina, as most Verlac's are, but I am very agile and graceful. I have nearly perfected the arts of evasive techniques, agility, grace, manipulation, intelligence, cunning, and wit. He fights with his muscles. I fight with my heart and my brain. Here are some facts about my family:
We were a wealthy family, founded at the turn of the 14th century. Noted for our agility and grace, we were practiced in the skill of evasion. A highly clever streak runs through the family, the talent for a skilled tongue and sharp wit is inherited. So skilled in manipulation it is rumoured that the founder Lucien Fairfox made his fortune by cheating it from wealthy lords. Lucien Fairfox took up the name as he was inspired by the cunning animal, he admired them to the point he banned any fox hunting on his grounds, claiming them sacred animals. The story goes he was riding through his vast property when he stumbled across a golden fox that unlike other foxes did not run in fear, but stood fair and brave in front of the man before slinking into the woods. Many times had he ordered searches for this elusive beast, but no sight of it was seen again. We carry the tradition of adept skill in hidden daggers. Another tradition is the strong prevalence of red hair passed down the bloodline, and the golden eyes of the Lucien's elusive fox. Our family crest is a golden fox (As shown in the picture) and our motto is "Do not take a foxes truth." Most of us prefer to fight with concealed daggers, but I like my double bladed seraph blade. It was originally a normal, single bladed seraph blade, but I went to one of my warlock friends, Ragnor Fell, and he worked his magic to make a button on the hilt activate a second blade. Without pressing the button the seraph blade looks normal, but once the button has been pressed a second blade appears on the other end of the hilt. I press the button again and it disappears entirely, you can feel it or see it. It's as if the second blade no longer exists. It works kind of like a Lightsaber from that mundane movie Star Wars, except only one of the blades randomly appears and disappears with the touch of a button. Like the other members of my family, I have red hair and a sharp face. My eyes are a bit different though. They are more of a bronze or a brownish-red color than golden. I should probably go train before Sebastian comes back. I want to get some good knife throwing in before he tries to show me up.
