## Biography

### Early childhood

Lærke Lumbye was born to Gerit Swann and Alex Lumbye, two very normal humans with dormant magical genes. They knew all about magic and Olympus Academy, unfortunately they weren't able to attend classes because magic didn't appear to agree with them. Lærke on the other hand was different. She seemed to have magical qualities, although she'd lose them later in life. She is the eldest child, 1/3 of a set of triplets. She has two younger sisters; Loraine and Lucia. Her godmother is her mother's old family friend Carol Anne Forbes. She was named for the bird, the skylark. Her mother was an Avian Veterinarian, her father worked as an attorney.

At the age of ten Lærke was attacked by a werewolf. It caused her to lose whatever little magic her parents passed down to her. Her sisters Loraine and Lucia watched in horror as their sister tried to use herself as bait. Putting herself in between a supernatural creature and her sister's was a no brainer. Her family were the unknowing neighbors to a family of recluses, a pack of werewolves. They usually isolate themselves during the full moon. One of them didn't make it to the rendezvous point. Her family was friends with them in their human form. They invited Lærke to join their pack, and offered to help ease her through the transition in a safe place, Olympus Academy. Her response was to turn them down, purely out of spite.

### Olympus Academy Years

After her incident with a local werewolf near her home she went to Olympus Academy, she began attending when she was eleven. She was unprepared for her new lifestyle, many times she found herself regretting the decision not to join the pack. She spent her youth at the Academy learning what it truly meant to be a werewolf. Her enhanced senses and monthly transformation were a burden to her. She was constantly getting into fights with people because to her everyone had a stench that she couldn't stand to be around. She learned about pain absorption far too late for her liking and she opts to never use that ability. She hasn't met a person yet who doesn't deserve to feel whatever pain they've earned.

## Adult Life

When she left Olympus Academy she wandered the world, sort of aimlessly. She was different from normal humans and a part of her felt she'd never belong in their world. She went back home to the Turks and Caicos and found she could be an asset to the local law enforcement. With her abilities she was the best in the business of hunting down dangerous criminals. She did it for the experience first, and the money second. It was some of the best training she could've ever learned. Real world applications of her supernatural powers were the best part of her life. She spent the next ten years working towards becoming a bounty hunter, which she does on an international scale. She's got a criminal justice degree to fall back on should something happen to her physically that might ruin her life's work.

## Personality and traits

She's an acquired taste, she's hard to tolerate. For some people that means it's hard to even stomach her. That would mean both her cooking and her attitude. She doesn't like a lot of people, that includes children. She'd steal candy from a baby just to see it cry. But she'd chastise someone else for doing the same thing, so she's also a hypocrite. She speaks Danish, English, Spanish, French and Italian which makes her annoying in multiple languages. She's very into Chemistry, she even went so far as to take a few college classes for it. She's quite smart although it hard to tell because she's often utilizing her brawn much more than her brain. She learned how to make her own explosives, she's already a pro at making potions. Learning a new skill gave her a brand new set of tricks to play with.

She's fascinated with mythology, she doesn't have a specific favorite she's willing to talk about all branches of it for hours and hours. But she absolutely hates talking about historical facts, they bore her to tears. She has an intense love for sewing and embroidery, she's very much an individual and she likes to makes her own clothes. She even has a little online boutique, 'Lovely-Lumbye', where she sells a few items that she's not so partial to keeping as well. She loves alternative music, she can't really stand any other genre because she's sort of a musical snob. She's known to be a very good dancer, even better when she gotten a few drinks in her system. She's not a sloppy drunk either, she's actually got an extremely high tolerance for alcohol. She's prone to saying a particular word when agitated, that word is in Danish, it's lort, and it means shit.
