Lerina the Leopard Gecko & ‘Leroy’

Lerina is a Mobian Leopard Gecko who has Shadow Possession Powers that came out after an event involving a cult.
== Personality ==
Earlier in her life Lerina would’ve best been described as shy and mousy, but that’s a part of her she wants to distance herself from. She still lacks a little confidence from time to time, but through her adventure and meeting new people the the gecko would become more independent and gain more agency. She still tends to mean well, but isn’t as blindly trusting as she once was and is more often than not willing to take things into her own hands.
Leroy, her ‘brother’, is a lot more chaotic and very uncaring. Outside of his sister he could care less about other people. He’s very violent and would do some pretty malicious things if he didn’t have his sister to real him in most of the time.
== Appearance ==
Lerina is a short Mobian Leopard Gecko that’s Albino/Leucistic, meaning the lizard has a more white/yellow and red hue rather than the black and brown hue her species usually has. Her hair is also affected by her albinism/leucism and has come out a a white brown/dirty blonde instead of the brown hair she was supposed to have. Her scales have become yellow in color and her ring markings are a lighter red with pink inside of them. Her under markings are a very light pink and has the same lighter red color around them as her ring markings.
Leroy is a gray and black entity with no real form, only an appearance. His eyes are an extremely dark red that matches his body making it hard to see him at night.
== Attire ==
Lerina sports an semi old dark green bomber jacket that she wears regardless of the weather. It’s always worn above her grey shirt that has logo on it of a ripped in half heart. She wears a blue green skirt, green and black boots, and has a green headband in her hair.
== History ==
To her, Lerina’s early life is unimportant. She was born in Napath, a secluded society of Mobians who wanted to stay away from the rampant influx of technology and robotics. Her family was large when she was born and her parents were pretty old at that point. Her mother and older sisters equally raised the young girl as they hadn’t had many roles in the secluded society of Napath. Soon Lerina would age and gain what little roles were provided to women and girls in the village. She cooked, she cleaned, she sewed, she made clothes for the village, etc, and she didn’t think much more about life than that. She never really yearned for more because her world was so tiny most of her life.
Nothing in her life changed up until the girl was 17, when a robot scouting for Eggman or whoever entered the society and Lerina found it. She played with it a bit since it was so foreign to her, but eventually took it to her father who took it to the head of the village. Though he was thankful it was found so it could be destroyed he was also angered for Lerina finding it in the first place believing she brought into the village in the first place. After that the village and her own family began to shun the young girl for her supposed sins. It went on for a while until one night Lerina left the village in the middle of the night not even caring if there was nothing out there outside her world. 
She was surprised to discover how advanced the world really was outside her village, only hearing vague things from gossip amongst the elders of the village. Her awe would eventually fade as the girl realized she didn’t have a purpose in this new world nor knew what she wanted or was going to do. It was an extremely low point for her and she convinced herself to become a sacrifice for a local cult since she didn’t believe what they were doing and just wanted to die. The night of the sacrifice came swiftly and everything was going according to plan for Judas, the head of the cult, until something very wrong happened. The cult didn’t read to far into the ritual, only knowing they needed a young virgin sacrifice for the beast they wanted to bring about but they didn’t read into much more than that. They ended up summoning a different, weaker beast and their sacrifice wasn’t dead. In fact, now a black fog surrounded the girl who rose from the slab she was stabbed on. The fog soon faded and a shadow shot out of the girl which possessed the summoned beast and began to decimate the ritual grounds and destroy most of the cultists before killing itself.
Lerina was shocked she was still alive and even more shocked by her new abilities. The shadow talked to her, telling her that he was the soul of her dead brother and his malicious new form was formed from his scorn for her. Despite this he had little control of her as she’s still the more dominant sibling in the end. Now with a sort of new goal in finding out how the cult summoned her out of him, the gecko would show up and wreck more of the cults rituals begging the members what happened to her without much help as they were just as ignorant of what happened as her. Alone in her search, she would soon meet someone named Verona searching for his sister, Eden. Using her brother’s powers of possession, the gecko helped the dove get his sister back from the agency that was experimenting on the girl. The doves soon parted ways with Lerina as they had to go back into hiding again.
After this point more strange things would go on in the gecko’s life such as her meeting a jaded reaper named Maeve who wanted to take her in believing the two were alike, but casted her aside after realizing how different the two really were. She later met up with a young witch named Hecate one day who seemed to notice the gecko was no longer mortal. She brought Lerina back to her mentor, a warlock named Endor. Endor immediately took her in, the raven being intrigued by these powers that she gained and wanting the study her more. In the meantime the cult was getting stronger which was dire for the supernatural world as the goals of the cult was mass destruction so Judas could become all powerful. As supernatural power was sucked from the world, Lerina soon lost the ability to control Leroy and eventually he completely faded away. Despite the aggressive shadow being a thorn in her side, the girl hated him being gone which led her to going back to the place where she was sacrificed. There she ran into Zeti, Zidru and Zath, who were looking for Judas’ cult member’s who wronged them. Lerina agreed to help them as Judas’ cult were her enemies, too.
When she returned to Endor with more news of the cult’s plans and Endor realized that without her powers Lerina was very vulnerable. He began teaching her magic even though it was not wise to teach a mortal magic. He trained her to use Magic Based Pyrokinesis, but it came with an obstacle - it altered her personality. Natural pyrokinetics could have any personality, but learning Pyrokinesis when it’s not native to someone turns them into a hothead. Her personality slowly changed as she practiced more and it frightened Hecate and Endor but eventually through will she got over it. Now she was ready to take on the cult again and she couldn’t have been slower as the cult was at it’s peak strength and numbers now. They’d even stole away Eden to use the girl as a sacrifice and Lerina was once again asked by Verona to help him, but their meeting this time was soured as Verona thought the gecko was useless now for no longer having her possession powers. Eden broke out herself and Lerina vowed not to help Verona ever again.
Judas finally had summoned the beast he originally wanted to control all along and was well on his way to becoming one with it before Lerina and her new found friends had come to stop him. The gecko used her magic based Pyrokinesis to fight her way up to Judas as the others fought their way through the crowd as well. After fighting on the roof of an ancient tower, Lerina was able to beat Judas enough down to get her powers and ‘Leroy’ back. Leroy took control of the beast and it slowly died dissipating dark energy back into the world and Judas fell from the tower and was crushed by the debris falling from the beast.
Lerina chose to stay with Endor and Hecate after this, the girl still not knowing what she truly wants besides staying with her friends. 
== Powers and Abilities ==
=== Shadow Possession Powers ===
Lerina has the ability, through Leroy, to possess non mortals and easily manipulative people. She typically uses it to possess beasts into doing her bidding as to do the most amount of destruction to large crowds of people - who she’s most used to. On a smaller scale she’s possessed cult members of Judas’ cult before to enact her plans, but won’t do it willy nilly to any one person unless they’re a cultist or something else. She’s a little iffy on possessing non mortals with sentience, but won’t hesitate if she really has to.
=== Knowledge of Magic ===
Lerina has a limited knowledge of magic, well using magic anyway. She’s never tested much outside of Magic Based Pyrokinesis despite Endor practically lending her the ability to learn more. Lerina doesn’t want to go through have her personality shift more than it has to anyway.
=== Magic Based Pyrokinesis ===
There’s not much to say about her Pyrokinesis powers. Being Magic based makes them come out as purple flames instead of the natural orange, red, yellow, and blue flames from natural occurring Pyrokinesis.
== Relationships ==
=== Family ===
==== Goodman Family ====
Lerina can care less for the Goodman family now, being so far divorced from the person she was when she left them. Endor, Hecate, and Maeve have practically taken over the role of her family now with how much time she spends with them. Deep down she still holds a grudge against her father for going along with what the leader of the village wanted.
==== Leroy Goodman ====
Though he annoys her most the time, she deeply cares for Leroy and sees him as the last biological family the girl has left.
==== Cevilla Goodman ====
Lerina has no idea that Cevilla is out on her own looking for her and assumes her younger sister wants nothing to do with the woman now that she’s on the outside of Napath.
=== Lovers ===
==== Verona the Dove ====
Lerina had a slight crush on Verona, the dove being the first non cultist man her age she met outside of Napath. Her crush for him fell through when she found out he was only using her for her powers so that she could continue to save Eden with him and had no interest in her herself.
==== Kieran the Changeling ====
==== Daisuke the Crow ====
Daisuke is a mortal Mobian Crow around Lerina’s same age. She met him after a stint where she had to help him in the Dragon Kingdom against an older Kitsune woman and her desire to destroy mortals for killing her husband unintentionally. The two share a lot in common despite the age gap between them and get along very well.
=== Friends ===
==== Endor/Ethan the Raven ====
Ethan has become like a father to Lerina at this point, the older man looking out for her and even treating the gecko as a daughter. Lerina is pretty obedient to whatever Ethan says because she’s grown to trust the man since he brought her in and helped her.
==== Hecate/Helen the Frog ====
Helen is like a younger sister to the girl, the frog caring a lot about Lerina and her well-being. Outside of the learning magic stint, Hecate trusts Lerina completely and vice versa. Hecate will often take her out shopping or just mess around with Lerina.
==== Maeve the Ewe ====
Lerina trusts Maeve, but she hates when the ram acts even more immature than even her. She’s far more jaded and aggressive than even the gecko has been and she can see why the only connection besides herself the ram had is Endor and the people he knows by extension.
==== Zidru & Zath the Zeti ====
Lerina loves Zidru and Zath - Zath more so than Zidru - since she feels like she could talk about anything to them and she’s prone to go to them when she has problems. Zath & Zidru adore her back and are willing to help her with anything - vice versa for Lerina.
==== Sylas the Python/Gorgon ====
Lerina is sort of friends with Sylas as they know each other through Helen, the snake gorgon being a close friend of the frog and another potential member of their ‘family’.
==== Elizabelle the Vampire Bat ====
Elizabelle is a vampire bat Lerina helped once. Elizabelle is kinda like a grandmother to the woman, always delighted to have her over and often giving her hard candy for no reason. Lerina’s still a bit weirded out she feeds for her gold digger tendencies.
=== Neutral ===
==== Eden the Dove ====
Lerina doesn’t know Eden too much, but considers her an ally and someone to protect even though the girl doesn’t want to deal with Verona.
==== Scott the Golden Retriever ====
==== Justine the Poodle ====
==== Peggie the Pug ====
==== Ruffino the Mutt ====
==== Makiko the Kitsune ====
==== Mothkid ====
==== Lexus the Swan ====
==== Xipil the Goat Zeti Hybrid ====
=== Rivals ===
==== Jones the Hedgehog/Werehog ====
Jones is considered a friendly rival to Lerina. They often have to fight when he’s in his werehog form, but when he’s a regular hedgehog they often hang out and do menial stuff.
==== Zarnabus the Zeti ====
Zarnabus is usually a villain towards Lerina, but because she has to save the SETI’s butt every other time they meet he has been debunked to rival in her eyes.
=== Enemies ===
==== Judas ====
Judas is a sworn enemy of Lerina’s, or at least he was when he was alive. Despite initially going along with his plan so she could die, the gecko would soon turn against him after discovering his true intention and the true nature of the rest of the world. 
==== Tomiju the Celestial Kitsune ====
