WHAT CAN YOU DO?Growing up, Eilis' parents saw a great need to instill in their youngest child everything a hunter, whether of natural game or supernatural game, needs to know. From their own extensive knowledge on tracking and hunting their less then convential game, her parents raised her to be the embodiment of their family name, a living representation of the ruthlessness with which every Lonsdale both past and present fights back the shadows with. Like any other natural born hunter, Eilis comes equipped with abilities that human hunters lack, it not only sets her above the line when it comes to advantages over her competition, but it also puts her on a less askewed level with that of her usual enemies. Her inherited abilities are; enhanced strength, enhanced speed, enhanced reflexes, ability to sense and distinguish one supernatural from another.
Like most hunters, Eilis has a bag of tricks under her belt that compliment her natural born talents. These tricks have either been taught to her, either by her parents or by her own drive to better her abilities, or she has learned them out of experience in the fields outside of her home in Wisconsin. These skills that are the very muscle on which most of her hunting abilities rely upon are sharpened and honed through a thick veil of revenge. These skills include; proficient skill as a marksmen [both with guns and bow and arrow], proficient skill as a tracker both of supernatural game and natural game and sometimes human game, skilled in archery, skilled in the art of a sword, expert in several styles of martial arts [Taekwondo, Krav Maga, Keysi, Jujitsu].
TELL US ALL ABOUT YOU!
History:: Born to a rather extensive family of natural born hunters, Eilis was the well welcomed baby girl to a family that was mostly male dominated. Born to David and Leona Lonsdale she was the last baby they had planned to have, and the one that was the subject of most of their combined affections. Leona was the happiest of the two, glad to finally have a little girl that she could finally call her own, a girl she could raise to follow in her footsteps, the footsteps of a great huntress. Unlike the normal human family, the Lonsdale's lived in the rural hills of Wisconsin, raising their children through discipline and love unlike any other parenting style. There was never a dull moment during her early childhood, between school and the other perils that a child can face she grew and learned as a hunter. It was during this time that she became particularly close to her oldest brother, Jack. When she was 5, her 9 year old brother was the first one to teach her how to shoot a bow and arrow, unlike Jack she excelled in the dying art.
As their daughter aged, her parents saw the potential for another great Lonsdale huntress, it made the need to train their daughter in all that they could even more of an issue among the home. Each new task that was presented to her, Eilis succeeded in defying all expectations that her parents, or her two brothers had about their sister, sparking a small sibling rivalry. As her parent's attentions were focused almost entirely on her, so her brothers sought out to prove that they could indeed be better then the child prodigy that was their sister. The middle child, Sam, gave up instead of trying to prove himself to be better then his sister he helped his parents train her. Jack, however, used his unending determination to be the youngest Lonsdale to kill a werewolf. He was 14. Their parents were estatic, although instead of giving him their undivided attention once more, they only spurned Eilis on to begin her trials as a hunter. Not even a month after his own kill, the 10 year old Eilis brought in her own werewolf. Instead of acting like a usual teenager and storming off to his room in frustration Jack instead conceded, much like his brother Sam and went back to enjoying being the biggest influence on Eilis' life...In fact it only served to boost his ego.
For the next 10 years of her life she lived as close to normal as her nature would allow. Whenever her father would recieve a request to hunt down a bothersome vampire, or exorcise a specific demon from a farmer's field he sent any one of his children. They each soon found their own niches in hunter culture, Jack became an expert in dispatching vampires, Sam was particularly fond of wolves, and Eilis favorited both vampires and werewolves but became increasingly interested in hunting demons. Her father was adament that she learn more about magic and how to protect herself from demons before she went and chased them down like she wanted to, her mother however was more supportive. She was torn between her parents, but when it came down to it she relied on her natural talents with the bow and blade and took on the task of killing a demon that had been terrorizing a small town about an hour away from their home. It was a learning curve she would never forget.
When she eventually came back home, three years later, she was a changed woman. She had studied some magic, or at least as little as she could in the middle of nowhere, and had used what little she had found to snare the demon in the town. For a year she blended in with the town, camoflauged herself among the natives and waited for her prey to come to her, when she did Eilis was hardly ready and instead of igniting a fight that she would have undoubtedly lost she spent another year studying what she could about her prey. For the last year she spent in the town she laid in wait just as before, a more calm and cautious predator now, in December the demon made it's move to strike the hunter that had been stepping on it's plans for death and destruction. Before the beast of hell could strike Eilis had delivered the killing blow and, having destroyed the human vessel that it needed to walk amongst the living sent the spectre back to where it belonged. Her first great success, and one that spurned her to learn more not just of magic but of demons as well.
The night she returned home was the last night she would spend with her family, alive. The next day her brother Jack had set out to track and kill a particularly bothersome vampire, instead of coming home with another successful kill under his belt, the eldest Lonsdale child came home, battered and bloodied. Before any one of them could react the vampire was inside and on her mother, the last Eilis saw of her mother's body was the vampire ripping her head away from the struggling body. The surprise attack caught even her brother Sam off guard, and after her mother he was the next to go. After a few words that Eilis hadn't been able to make out the vampire dispatched her father and then finally turned her attentions to her. She had assumed that Jack had been killed in the fray, but when she saw her brother limp beside the vampire and fall at her feet she had no choice but to look on in horror as she watched the bitch turn her brother right infront of her..Tears mixed with the stray drops of blood that had fallen on her cheeks, but even then she stood tall in the face of death..the vampire could only laugh at her..
As the vampire ignited the flames that would consume her family home around her Eilis made a vow to avenge her family, to free her brother from his new curse and to slay the vampire that did this to her with the same sadistic cruelty that the vampire had used when she dispatched of her entire family right before her eyes. She's followed the vampire, and her brother to New York City and while vengence is her main quest she has not neglected her calling as a hunter. Working alongside a demon who has sworn her life to eradicating others of her own kind Eilis finds comfort in sending that which she had first set out to destroy back to the fiery pits of hell..But only one thing will make her eyes lose their icey weight. Vengence.
Personality:: There had been a point in time when Eilis could have been considered at the very least a normal girl with a normal personality, but that was before she walked out of the burning hulk of her family home, covered in blood that was not her own. Now, Eilis is driven by an unyielding need to bring revenge down upon the hapless head of the vampire that ruined her whole life, that brought everything she ever knew down upon her head with the force of a tsunami. Revenge has consumed her soul, taking the place of the usual malice that she had been taught to feel towards supernaturals as a whole and directing it at two vampires in particular. When she's not focused on her quest of revenge, which is a rare day, Eilis exudes a confident and yet calm aura, although she does come off a tad depressed. Overall she is an intelligent individual that has seen much and knows a darker side of the world that most would shy away from. Instead of turning away from the shadows like most would, Eilis walks into them, bow and fist at the ready to strike anything that would try and attack her. She goes through life on guard, ready for an attack she knows is on the horizon.
Appearance:: If it wasn't for her less then friendly disposition on life, Eilis might actually be considered beautiful. At a rather imposing 5'8'', Eilis beauty is lost in translation behind the intimidating aura that exudes out of her every pore. When she enters a room she turns heads, not to look and study her every curve but away from her so they don't have to stare down the huntress and be dragged further under the glacial power of her ice blue eyes. Because she is a natural born hunter, her left eye is not entirely the same cold blue that it's twin is, half of the icy orb is amber in color, ironically the same color that most vampire's eyes shine as. She usually keeps her naturally mahogony hair long but manageable, although the wavy mess of brown usually never dips below shoulder length. Even though her soul is consumed by a strong desire for vengence with every waking hour of her life since the tragedy she still keeps it a habit to keep herself looking as clean and trimmed as possible. Ever since she stumbled out of her family home covered in her parents and siblings blood cleanliness is one of her major pet peeves, in her mind ever spec of dirt that touches her skin is just one more droplet of blood. When it comes to fashion, Eilis changes her styles depending on what her task for the day will be. While not one for the high end designers that seem to plague New York's markets, she has been known to indulge herself and use some of her hard earned money to buy herself a cocktail dress worthy of a queen. Her usual attire is nothing short of jeans and a simple t-shirt, easier for her to fight in if the occassion calls for it.
