Dakota Pascal

Fishnets and a happy frog jacket. It works.https://picrew.me/image\_maker/659432

## Appearance

Tall, slender frame, leaning fem in presentation. With deep caramel complexion, hazel eyes, and coily hair the burnt orange of autumn leaves. Dakota dresses eccentrically with bold and random choices, as if fashion conformed to them. ...It kind of does. It involves a lot of crop tops, sheer shirts, and splashes of vibrant colors. Usually autumn colors.

## Personality

Dakota is deeply caring and kind to those they care about, but is sharp witted and tricky as well. They tend to hyperfocus on things and has trouble with tunnel vision. They want to be a lawyer, but often come up short academically.

Dakota has two loves: sweets, and Penny.

## Powers

Supernatural Allure: Dakota unconsciously draws peoples attention, intensifying their feelings of love or attraction and stirring up other emotions as well. They can consciously control this effect as well but cannot turn it off.

* Dakota smells *good*, but what they smell like reads differently to different characters, based on what they would find most enticing

Shapeshifting: Dakota can change their appearance to reflect people's desires. This includes their own. The primary use of this is that Dakota always looks perfect. Dakota also has a more monstrous and faerie-like form that appears when they lose control.

Glamour: Dakota is also capable of creating illusions, tricks and changing people's perception of things.

Faerie Pacts: making agreements with Dakota is something mystically enforced, (as it is with all fae) so it is best to be careful with not only your words around them.

## Background

### Growing Up

Dakota comes from a small, unassuming, picturesque town. While they were raised by a single father, they also had a big extended family that was always there as well. Ever since Dakota was little, they wanted to be a lawyer like their father. Just as quick and sharp witted. However their grades were always a tad lacking.

While Dakota was still young, they went through a sudden metamorphosis. Everything seemed different. Friends wanted to be closer, kids that barely knew them fumbled over themselves, people fought over them. People picked fights with them. The truth is that they had leanan sídhe ancestry and had awoken to their potential as a fae. However, no one else knew that. By high school they had gained a reputation for being flirty, provocative, manipulative, and sleeping around. None of it was true, but the rumors stuck.

Dakota had to learn the ropes of being a fae on their own, they Had a tendency of running into other supernatural entities or rather, drawing the paranormal to them. Occasionally they did meet other fae as well. So they are used to the sort of shenanigans or hijinks that come with being around the supernatural. As well as the temptation to simply stay in the fae realm.

One of the highlights of high school for Dakota was meeting Penny Prescott. She was everything Dakota was not, studious, popular, book driven, and focused. At first Dakota saw her as a rival, or an obstacle to overcome, but it was clear that not only were those feelings were one sided, but there wasn’t even a comparison to be made. Plus Penny was always friendly and hard to dislike. Soon Dakota had even fallen for her, like a good chunk of the school had already. And Dakota fell hard. All they wanted to do was impress Penny or get her attention but things always seemed to go wrong. They would fumble over themselves, or make a fool of themselves, or something would get in away. A fight to the death when they tried to ask her out, a near apocalypse when asking her to dance, reality being rewritten when they finally made progress. This combined with Penny’s critical and overbearing family, made for countless hurdles. But Dakota hasn’t given up yet. And college will be different. Right?

### Since Enrolling at Monsterhearts University

And you might want to keep track of some of the stuff that has happened since.

## Relationships

### Family

**Desmond Pascal**

Dakota's father. A lawyer that gave up being part of a big time firm to move back home and raise Dakota with family around. Not a fae but shows small signs of his ancestry in his insight and trickery in legal matters.

**Lorraine Pascal**

Dakota's mother. A human. The only thing known about her is that she died when Dakota was still a baby.

### Friends

**A Roommate**

Exists? Maybe?

**Selene(?)**

Has noticed Dakota's ability to allure and has seen them as a threat. The two have a lot in common, but have yet to admit it to eachother. She also has something on Penny, which Dakota isn't quite aware of yet.

**Endy**

Another fae that Dakota knows. Someone easy to talk to and blow off steam with.

**Fern**

Pretty cool fun to be around. Has a crush on Dakota. They probably get high together sometimes.

### Significant Others

**Penny Prescott**

In high school she was valedictorian, president of the student council, captain of the cheer squad. She was essentially the perfect overachiever. Also Dakota's biggest squish. Every time Dakota tried to get closer to her, though, something got in the way.

## Group Affiliations

**A Group**

Between extra-curriculars, work, and hobbies, you are probably part of at least one group, either on- or off-campus

## Journal Entries

**A Link To Your Journal**
This is where you can link your character's journal. While these can be a fun extra thing to write, and a nice way to keep track of your character's development, they are by no means mandatory! We just all love to read them. If you write one, link it in the announcements channel!
