French exchange student, wonderful Salsa dancer, beautiful smile. Oh, and she's French.

## Personality

Ayanna is friendly and outgoing, usually smiling and full of energy. It's also a facade for when she is feeling otherwise. She can be quite insecure at times, she has fears she mostly learned to deal with, as in hide them but never could erase. She's very cuddly though it could send a wrong message sometimes. Things were simpler when she her older sister still lived with her in the same house.

## SKILLS

Finished high school with relatively high grades, just arrived in the U.S. to start college.

Ayanna is an avid dancer, mostly couples dances such as Salsa and Bachata, which she has participated in 2-3 times a week for over two years now. While not a prize winning dancer, she's GOOD, good enough to teach beginner and intermediate dancers, as well as being the partner of visiting teachers and artists. She's been featured in a few such YouTube videos.

Well, she's French so pretty fluent.

She has read quite a few occult related books. Most of them are fiction and loose rumors, but a few did contain facts. Of course she's not competent to know which is which, but she has a general grasp of who's who in the occult world.

Three years of piano lessons as a kid.

Highschool captain of the swimming team, won a few medals in local competitions.

## ADVANTAGES

Ayanna's parents send her enough to make sure she can pay her rent, eat and dress well while also having a bit to spend.

## WEAKNESSES

Plain and simple, being around dust causes her sneezing, teary eyes, and slight headache over time.

About the nightmares, she used to have them very frequently but after the hypnosis treatments they subsided greatly, or so to speak she became less affected by them and aware of them when she wakes up in the morning. The nightmare pattern is generally the same, she is being chased by something sinister with a presence so strong it gives her such strong shivers down her spine that her legs sometimes fail to react and her voice disappears, leaving her unable to run and scream. Most of the times though she is able to run, sometimes she esapes, other times the darkness engulfs her and the horrors fade into darkness. She still wakes up covered in cold sweat from time to time.

Ayanna was raised in a quiet Parisian suburb. She has an older married sister and her parents are alive and well. Her parents are rather well off with her father being an engineer and her mother working as a doctor. She studied in the better schools, attended after school piano, dance, swimming and just about any available lesson she might have liked. At school she proved to be a very popular girl, much because of her eye-catching look and athletic prowess which helped her become the captain of the swimming team and win some medals. During her early teens she suffered from constant violent nightmares and started reading all kinds of books about supernaturals and the occult. As the nightmares became more and more frequent, she began visiting a shrink regularly for a while and under her guidance she stopped reading those books. Everyone was convinced it was triggered by her older sister moving out and that must have brought to the surface all sorts of insecurities. She was treated with hypnosis and eventually the nightmares went away with the memories of what went on there, but Ayanna still has some phobias from overly dark and still places since. Being given an opportunity to study abroad, she was all too happy to go but America, change the scenery, meet new people, a new culture and maybe get over some of her fears.
