CHARACTERS PLAYED: Stefan Salvatore

NAME: Vasilisa Sabina Rhea "Lissa" Dragomir
CANON: Vampire Academy
AGE: 17, aged up to 18

While not quite considered an adult, Lissa is a princess of the Moroi vampires, and thus has had to grow up much younger than your typical teenager. She is mature for her age and has had to shoulder a lot of responsibility and stress over the years, has dealt with the death of her entire family, the sanity stress of spirit magic, and managed to live with just her best friend out in the human world for two years despite the fact that her kind, especially at her age, are usually hidden away.

She’s also been sexually active since she was fifteen, so physical intimacy is not a new thing for her, even if she isn’t overly experienced in that area.

CANON POINT: Book One - Shortly after arriving back at St. Vladimir’s Academy

BACKGROUND: Wikia Link
INCENTIVE/FIT: Lissa would ask for her family back. Her mother, father and brother all died in a car crash that she and her best friend Rose were in as well, but she was only able to save her best friend. She'll fit fine into Eudio. Lissa is a very socially competent young woman, given her need to swim through Moroi politics as the last of her royal line. She's also very friendly and open, and should have no problems making friends. While she's not one to have sex unless she's romantically involved, she'll still be open to other types of physical affection until she form that kind of bond.

ANYTHING ELSE?

The Moroi have the ability to channel different kinds of elemental magic, and usually specialize in one particular type between fire, water, air and earth. There is a rare kind of magic apart from these called spirit, and that is what Lissa uses. She is capable of using all the different kinds, though on a much lower scale than her ability with spirit.

Spirit magic uses Lissa’s own life energy and uses it in different ways. Most commonly, she uses it to heal injuries almost instantly. She’s shown, for example, fixing Rose’s broken ankle and saving Christian from certain death. This healing object can also be charmed into objects, such as a ring that Rose can wear to calm her shadow-kissed darkness or into a stake to restore a Strigoi (though neither of these are known as of her canon point.)

Spirit users also have the ability to see the auras of others around them. They manifest in different colors, and changes depending on their moods. With practice, a spirit user can literally tell how a person is feeling just by looking at them.

They also have the ability to dream walk. This requires both herself and the target to be asleep, and allows the spirit user to enter the targets dreams, changing it to their will and even speaking to them as if they were actually there. These dreams feel incredibly real to both people, and are easily remembered upon waking.

While all vampires are able to use compulsion to put thoughts into other people’s heads and get them to do what they wants, Lissa is particularly good at it, able to affect groups of people as well as those who are very resistant to it. It isn’t something any Moroi uses very often, though, as it’s considered incredibly taboo.

Lastly, Lissa can resurrect someone from the dead. The person, or animal, has to be very recently deceased, and she can literally heal them of their wounds and pull their essence back into their body, bringing them back to life. Doing this has side effects, however, essentially creating a spirit bond between herself and the person being revived. That person becomes known as ‘shadow-kissed’ and is forever psychically linked the spirit user. In Lissa’s case, she brought back her best friend Rose from the dead, and now Rose can feel everything she feels, hear her thoughts in her head, and even see through her eyes. The bond only works one way, however, and it’s theorized that this is because Lissa is keeping Rose’s ‘soul’ anchored in place through the magic of bringing her back.

All spirit magic comes at a cost, and that cost is the user’s sanity. Every time Lissa uses her spirit magic, it takes a toll on her mind, giving her depressive thoughts and episodes and slowly driving her insane. She has had periods of self-harm due to her spirit use in canon, and while the use of anti-depressants help, it also blocks the magic, which she’s not willing to give up.

It is worth mentioning that of the abilities mentioned above, Lissa is talented with healing & compulsion. In particular, her compulsion is so powerful that she can make others see things that aren't there, such as spiders crawling all over their body. She is lacking in the other areas, and has never once successfully dreamwalked. It's just something she could potentially do in the future.
