ITZEL GRIFFIN
FULL NAME: Itzel Griffin
NICK NAME: Zelly, Griffin
AGE: 21
GRADE OR OCCUPATION: Junior in Harmony College
ORIENTATION: Bisexual; prefers males (sort of asexual due to her refusal to trust others, though)
ALLIANCE: Neutral
FACE CLAIM: Marjorie Conrad
EYE COLOR: Brown
HAIR COLOR: Black
HEIGHT AND WEIGHT: 5'4" and ~115 lbs.
DESCRIPTION: Standing a little bit under the average for her gender's age, Zelly is very skinny as well. Not abnormally so, necessarily, but certainly surprisingly so. The last time her hair was past her chin was when she was very young. Now it's up above her ears. It is cut rather scraggly, but the only parts that fall past her ears are two bits in front of said ears and, of course, the parts on the back of her head. Her eyes are a deep brown and generally unreadable. She tends to wear a good bit of makeup to make them seem even darker and to help hide her emotions. She usually wears loose clothing and prefers flip-flops, even in cold weather.
PERSONALITY: Distrustful. That is the biggest description for this girl. Or at least now it is. It didn't use to be so but this isn't the place to put such information. More than anything, Griffin is wary of anything and everyone around her. There are only four exceptions to this: her sister and three other spirit holders. Those would be Pocahontas, Kocoum, and Meeko. Anyone else hoping to be her friend... might do better to just give up.
However, to those four individuals and anyone else who might happen to catch her on a good day and gain her trust, she is a most loyal and happy person. She likes to have fun, but competition is probably not her best suit as she holds grudges quite well. She's also quicker to talk than she is to think. There is generally no problem with calling someone stupid for tripping over an obviously large bump in the road, for instance. If they seem hurt by this, she'll offer an awkward apology, though.
HOMETOWN: Quispamsis, New Brunswick (Canada)
FAMILY MEMBERS: Mother, younger sister - Ilmeya.
HISTORY: Itzel was born to two very nice people. She was born before they were married, however, and they didn't marry until she was five years of age. Not long after the wedding, the couple had another child. Luckily, their first daughter was old enough to feel more motherly than jealous of a sister. For the majority of their lives, nothing was really out of place. While there were squabbles and occasional bouts of jealousy from both sides, but it was quickly solved and the two became close again.
It wasn't until they were fourteen and nine that something shocking happened. While their father was away on business, he accidentally got caught up in a gang shooting and died as a result. It was devastating for the whole family and their grandparents started to visit more regularly to make sure their mother was doing well. Itzel got into the habit of wandering into the forests outside their house as a way to calm down and relax. A year later, she wandered too far and fell asleep in the forest.
When she awoke, she was back at home. What she didn't realize at the time was that Flit awakened earlier than even he anticipated having to. If he hadn't, the poor girl likely would have been attacked by some kind of wild animal. As a result, however, she took on the attribute of being distrustful before anything else. It didn't take long before she received a letter from Memory. At first, her mother refused to let her go but after a while, they came to an agreement where if her grades were good, she could move to go to the other school that the letter spoke about.
When she was finally able to go, she found herself in a rather strange place... people more like her in some ways but she still refused to trust anyone without very good reason. She learned a lot, however, and eventually Flit completely awoke, giving her the abilities to transform and to speak to animals. However, she wasn't able to master either of them until much later.
High school allowed her to master these things and instead of going straight to college, she took a year off. While being a waitress wasn't too terrible, she decided she wanted to return to school instead so she could get more experience in hope of getting a better paying job. She is attempting to major in English with a bit of math and hopes to be able to become a teacher, very likely for any elementary school in the area if not the high school.
DISNEY CHARACTER: Flit from Pocahontas
ABILITIES/ATTRIBUTES: Transformation into a hummingbird, loyalty to close friends but extreme distrust of strangers, able to communicate to other animals fairly well in both forms.
DESCRIPTION: Most of Flit's personality has overwritten his host's. Why this happened is unknown, but she rarely shows any signs of being anyone but the xenophobic hummingbird from the movie. Other than the opposite gender bodies, it's almost as if the spirit has become the dominant one and the human's has become the one talking in the background. They get along alright, despite this oddity, and both agree that they just want to look out for themselves.
