Grania Montgomery
Oh no, introductions. Those were definitely the worst part of starting the new year, a little ice-breaker that certainly break Grania's calm demeanor. The combination of public speaking, social interactions and staring what could make it any worse? Everyone is a weirdo? Actually, that calmed her nerves somewhat as she stared down at her desk, examining the etches and scratches that were evident in the laminated surface. She listened intently on each of the introductions that were quickly leading up to her. Her palms were clammy, and face was heating up as she heard some of the awkwardness behind other introductions. Second-hand embarrassment washed over her like a tidal wave, causing her to blush and get flustered after any introduction that had some sort of weird undertone or happening. The main offender was Jay's, the explanation of his snake and it's escape had her staring down at her desk as her cheeks turned a dark red. Oh, just let it bite me now.As Varei made his introduction it became abundantly clear to Grania that if he had just went then it must have been her turn? However, in her moment of hesitation the rug was pulled out from under her and Kleia, The Tripper, made an anxious introductions. That was so embarrassing. How bad was hers going to be! Maybe if she waited long enough no one would care about her staying dead-silent. Silence. It was silent. Aaaaand more silence and still quiet.
She took a deep breath and stood up quickly with a start, staring into the crowd around her. Grania, be strong and act powerfully. Just as Mom told you.
"I-I..."
Grania trailed off into silence as her cheeks flushed once more and she fidgeted in place trying to figure out what to say, but with all eyes on her she struggled to get anything out of her throat. As if it was stuck. She shut her eyes and took deep slow breaths. Finally, her eyes popped open and she spoke, clenching her fists as she did so.
"I AM GRANIA MONTGOMERY! TOGETHER WE WILL CONQUER OUR STUDIES AND DESTROY ANY OPPOSITION!" The blood-red glow in her eyes seemed to permeate blood-lust when in reality she was so embarrassed her eyes had reacted to her emotional state and inked themselves red, mirroring her sister's. She calmly took her seat afterwards with a soft smile.

Velexana Fairbrooke
If her calculations were correct nearly everyone in the class had finished their introductions aside from Jason. However, if anyone did not know who Jason was already than they belonged in a deep pit of snakes for being such unambitious losers. Befriending the mayor's son would be step one in anyone's goals for ultimate political power in that rusty backwards town. Dating him would be even better, especially with his looks and charm. She glanced around the room, counting the other students to make sure everyone had gone, and it seemed that anyone that was at least mildly important had spoke. Which meant, she could finally go. As the saying went, save the best for last.
The elven lass slowly rose from her seat, allowing her dress to drop down back to the ground from her chair in a quick and heavy manner. She reined it in, grabbing it and pulling it from her seat where she had forcibly crammed it into and strutted up to the front of the classroom waiving her arms up into the air to ensure she could wave to the crowd when they cheered her on.
With a quick twirl she was facing the class and smiling sweetly, and deviously, at them.
"Ahem. I am Velexan Fairbrook of Xania. All of you may refer to me as your Grace, your highness, your Queen, your Goddess, your Overlord, your Beloved Queen, your Greatness, your Stupendous Empress, your Divine Inspiration, your Superior, or The Best Among Us." Satisfied with her introduction Velexana began making her way back to her dress, even before the clapping started how humble of her. She paused halfway back and put a finger up "Oh! I also go by Vel, feel free to call me that! Cute isn't it?" She twirled her hair for a moment, staring up at the ceiling as she admired her own nickname's beauty. After several minutes of that she managed to cram her dress back into her seat and blow a kiss to Jason. Oh dangit! That would have been a good chance to warn everyone to stay clear of her boo. There were always free periods for that.
