History:
Mara's best friend had always been Michelle even before she went to Riverside. Mara's father died in a car accident before she got to know him, and her mother remarried after an appropriate number of years. Her mother married Michelle's father, and the two quickly bonded. Mara loved her life in San Diego, and didn't mind moving to Riverside which was only a few hours away. Mara had always gotten average grades, but excelled in sports. Her shapeshifting abilities did not cause her that much trauma, either.

Sample Roleplay:

Mara squinted at the sun, shining brightly on her unshielded face. She raised a hand for protection and cleared her swimming vision. The courtyard was relatively empty, except for a few students eating lunch and one sleeping boy. She raised an eyebrow as his chest heaved tremendously. The fountain roared, the noise fading into the background like the chirp of evening crickets.

A bee lazily wavered in the corner of her eye. She swatted it away with a halfhearted wave of her hand, but gave up and yawned. With a sigh, Mara sat back and looked up at the clouds. They were swollen and white, unmoving in the mid-day sky. Mara sat up again, blinking her heavy lids at the boy laying in the grass.

That boy has the right idea... Mara thought with a yawn, sitting back and closing her eyes.
