BIRTHDAY: October 23rd.
CURRENT RESIDENCE (Which land in Elysium will they live?): Teronna
APPEARANCE (General info, Height/weight, Eye/Hair color, build, etc.): Hayden is on the taller side, standing at 5'7 with womanly curves she usually keeps hidden under her long flowing skirts and tunics. She's on the paler side, with porcelain like skin and large bright blue eyes. She has a heart shaped face with long straight brown hair that falls below her shoulder blades, and bangs that she's constantly trimming to stay out of her eyes. She has a slight gap between her front to teeth, that she's a bit self conscious about, so most of the time she gives closed mouth smiles to people when she gives them. If you manage to get her to laugh however is when a real smile is shown.

POSITION/OCCUPATION: Current owner of "Lucifer's Pleasures" Bookshop.
GRAMARYE GIFT (if any): N/A
PERSONALITY: Hayden is full of sass on a good day, and a bitch on a bad day. She's a bit on the quiet side, suspicious of men, and it takes her a bit to warm up you. She tends to run away from her problems, as that's what she's always done. Not letting anyone in, as it's better that way and she doesn't run the risk of getting hurt. She feels like she's a bad luck charm, as people always either leave, get hurt, or die around her, so she's closed off. A bit of a loner and preferring to stick to herself. She's a bit grumpy, but loves to read. Liking books about adventures and mysteries. Her favorite books are ones with great plot twist.
She loves her cat Lucifer to bits, even if he doesn't share the same affections. He lives up to his name and often times attacks the ankles of customers, and Hayden is constantly apologizing or throwing things at him to leave people alone. She's a very messy individual. Her bookstore is very disorganized, but it's an organized mess. At least for her. She knows somewhat where things are, even if it takes her a bit to find what people are looking for. The store always smells of new and old books as well as the occasional lavender incense she tends to burn periodically.
HISTORY:
- Hayden was born to Emily Faragher.
- She is the bastard daughter of Earl Raymond Demaine
- Her mother was a maid working for the Demaine's when she was conceived. After finding out about her pregnancy, Raymond fired Emily.
- Being only 18 at the time, Emily struggled to find other work while trying to take care of Hayden, even going back to beg her Raymond for help in taking care of her. Outraged, he'd turned the two of them away, claiming she wasn't his.
- Seeing no other choice, Emily became a prostitute and began working in a brothel where Hayden was essentially raised.
- Having to grow up, and grow up fast, she tried to help her mother as best she could, and her mother did her best to protect her from the eyes of the men she'd bring into their living space.
- Hayden spent most nights locked in her small room.
- at the age of 15, Hayden's mother met an unfortunate end, as one of her clients, in a fit of rage accidentally killed her. Hayden and the other women were devastated by the loss, but none as much as Hayden.
- Knowing she wouldn't be allowed to stay at the brother unless she worked, Hayden followed in her mother's footsteps.
- She was 22 when she met Linus. A man around her age, he promised her the world and would take her out of the brothel life. Only, Hayden didn't share the same feelings as Linus. He had become obsessed with her, and she soon began to fear for her safety.
- When it became too much, she left without a word in the middle of the night. Not telling a soul about where she was going, but her friend Faith.
- Hayden wandered for several months, living a vagabond life until she found herself outside of Lucifer's Pleasures one day. A run down bookshop owned by an old woman by the name of Lucy, and her large black and white cat Lucifer. The old woman took Hayden in, and for once in her life she felt what a real life could be like. Lucy was kind, showing her how to read and write, and gave her her first book. It was then her love of books formed, and she found herself lost in different worlds and stories. She could have any life she wanted within a books pages. She was safe. She was free, she could finally have the life she deserved.
- About a year ago, Lucy passed away from old age. Leaving the bookstore to Hayden to run. She was afraid at first, not wanting to be alone, but she saw it as an opportunity to make the store hers. It was all hers, and she could do with as she pleased.
- Hayden and Lucifer are still at the bookstore to this day, helping people find different worlds to escape too.
