[/u][/center][/size][/font].:Basic Personality:. Tyra was once a typical teenage girl but you'd be pressed to find much normal about her now. Her attitude, once meaningless, is now a warning of the danger she is to society. She has little respect for anyone and even then it is only to those she believes deserve it, which are few and far between this. On top of this, she cares for noone. The closest she gets to caring is eliminating those that stand in her way.
Of course, things are never so simple. There are two sides to every person and the same can be said for Tyra. Her other side comes out around those in power, those she sees as keys to a brighter future. She becomes sweet, almost docile, determined to please and even more determined to make the most of it. She'll flirt and sweet talk, her act ever so convincing, the trait which has carried through strongest from her time as a mortal until now.
When presented with a challenge Tyra becomes a deadly force. She is strong and she knows it but she also knows she has limits, just like anyone and anything else. Rarely does she overstep these limits but she does push them and she will do almost anything to get what she wants.

.:History:.
Welcome to the life of a spoilt little rich girl. Sounds fun, huh? I wouldn't say so. Everyone seems to think that the rich life is the fun one but those who live it may well tell you otherwise, enter Tyra, who is just one example of the strains that riches can bring.
Tyra Amvira Luella Leonardis had been long planned by her parents who, by the time they decided they had time for a baby were already in their mid thirties. They had the money to provide a stable childhood and plenty of love available for their child and they had fooled themselves into thinking they could manage but they'd forgotten a very important aspect of bringing up a child: time. By the time they'd thought of this it was already too late, her mother was seven months into the pregnancy.
Tyra was born ito a world of business and fashion. By day, she was cared for by a nanny and by night she became her mother's latest fashion accessory. Everyone who saw the child gasped in shock and even then, as a tiny baby, she became used to the attentions of the rich and powerful and little known as the man's condition was, it was also when she met her first vampire.
By the age of three the child could already speak italian, english and latin, tell the time, read books meant for children twice her age, do basic math and list ten designer names. She entered an expensive nursery where her intelligence was worked on and was flourishing well. When she went to her mother's business parties she would dress herself in some of the most expensive and extravagent clothing on the market.
Was this child, however, happy? No. At night when everyone slept she would cry because she'd seen the other children whose parents took them to parks, played games, whose parents smiled generally and laughed and joked. Her parents weren't like that and she really wanted a 'real' mommy and daddy.
Childhood was flying by and though her intelligence continued to grow by eight years old it was obvious to the world their was a problem. At school, Tyra would not play with other children and instead preferred to talk with her teachers about work, at home she always seemed to be sat with the most important guests in conversation most adults would have trouble understanding and at night she sat in the dark in silence... Or did she?
No, she spent each night sat in conversation with a man. A man she had known from a tiny age. He alone would listen and understand. He made her feel happy, alive, and so it was with him that she was shaped into the powerhungry yet intelligent girl she has become. He was Lucas, one of the most secretive yet well known men in the fashion industry.
More years past, her teens came, she was a trouble maker, a misfit. Noone understood her and she used it to her own advantage. She'd cause trouble only for someone else to get the blame. She got top grades in school, offered a scholarship, and then one night everything changed.
She'd been talking to Lucas for years, knew and trusted him. She believed him when he said he wanted to help her. She walked with him through the streets of Volterra, got into a car with him and he drove her away into a woodland about five miles from the town. She doesn't really remember what happened after that except pain, like fire in her blood, and a conversation with a vampire she can't remember before arriving at the castle.
The last few months have been difficult and things do not appear to be getting easier. The volturi are still wary of her as she is wary of them. Her wariness is caused by the fact she's almost constantly surrounded by unknown but obviously powerful vampires and theirs? Theirs is probably caused by the fact that she was 'born' so close to their home by a vampire that is off of their radar.
