LIKES:

• [ arcade games ] - Shiloh has a special little love for the games that you find in arcades now a days, since growing up she never really owned a game console. So arcades was how she played games, and it always gives her a good nostalgia kick whenever she comes across an arcade.
  
• [ catchy songs ] - Getting songs stuck in her head is something Shiloh has to deal with a lot of the time. But for the most part the songs that get stuck are songs where she loves the beat of the song. When she has it stuck in her head she won't be afraid to sing along with it when it comes on the radio.
  
• [ home cooked food ] - While traveling alone on hunts Shiloh realized how much she missed getting home cooked meals from her mom. Shiloh can cook for herself so she doesn't waste away eating bad fast food. But her cooking doesn't taste as good as her mom's yet.
  
• [ naps ] - Being a hunter means that at times Shiloh has to run on little to no sleep at all. So when she has the huge chunks of free time she likes to take advantage of that by napping for as long as she can. Which helps recharge her batteries and keeps her from being overly cranky and tired.
  
• [ rainstorms ] - There's something oddly soothing about being in a rainstorm for Shiloh. She likes to lean back and be near a window so she can hear the heavy rain coming down. It helps her relax a bit.
  

DISLIKES:

• [ moving stuff ] - it bothers her to no end when people move her things without telling her. Since she has a system of where she leaves thing so she can find them again. When people move her things it makes it harder for her to find stuff.
  
• [ stereotypes given to 'gypsies' ] - Shiloh hates when people assume certain things about her people. Especially when they find out that she's a Romani ('gypsy') and ask her a lot of dumb question. She also hates it when people refer to her as 'gypsy'.
  
• [ matchmaking ] - Shiloh's mom has a habit of trying to set her up with boys, so she can start thinking about settling down. But Shiloh doesn't want someone picked out for her.
  
• [ gross textures ] - some textures kind of gross her out with how they feel, usually stuff that's super slimy, and rotten smelling.
  
• [ papayas ] - They smell like rotting fruit which grosses Shiloh out so much that she can't be near them at all.
  

STRENGTHS:

• [ research ] - She has a better grasp at the English language so a lot of the time she took over the researching for her parents when she hunted with them. So now she has an easier time looking things up and knowing where to look most of the time.
  
• [ languages ] - Shiloh is bilingual so learning a different language comes easier to her, as she has done it before. Her accent in a new language might not be perfect, but she'll at least know what she's saying.
  
• [ agile ] - Being on the short side, she's always had an easier time moving around while on a hunt. She can squeeze into tighter spaces than most people, so it sometimes gives her an edge when she has to track something, or hide.
  
• [ approachable ] - For the most part Shiloh has a pretty upbeat and outgoing personality, which makes people feel like it's easier to talk to her. When she talks to people she tries to keep it polite and casual, so they don't feel like they're being interrogated.
  
• [ easygoing ] - Shiloh usually tends to go with the flow of things if she's in a group, since it's just easier than trying to get her way. She usually doesn't have a problem with that, unless the people she's with are going to do something that she feels is totally against her morals. That's usually when she'll speak up about it.
  

WEAKNESSES:

• [ spiteful ] - Once Shiloh is really mad at someone, or just plain hates them. She won't think twice about getting even with them. It could be something as little as not getting the thing they asked for, to playing a somewhat mean prank on them. She would never go as far as let someone get hurt or die, because she didn't like them.
  
• [ temperamental ] - Shiloh's moods are touchy, especially her anger, it can come to the surface pretty fast. Sometimes she has a pretty good handle on it around people she doesn't know to well. But around people she feels comfortable with she has no problem with letting her anger out. Or if a stranger has made her way too mad she'll just explode in front of them.
  
• [ lazy ] - Despite having a pretty important job, Shiloh is prone to bouts of laziness where she doesn't want to do anything expect lay there on the motel floor and not move. Sometimes she'll just want some time for herself, instead of working on a case. But in the end she knows she has to buck up and do the job.
  
• [ irresponsible ] - A lot of the times Shiloh will do things without thinking about, how it'll affect others around her. Mostly because she used to being on her own, and being an only child. If she feels that she wants to do something she will go and do it, before stopping to consider the consequences or if it will bother people she's traveling with.
  
• [ sassy ] - She feels like she always has to get the last word in, so she is constantly getting herself in trouble with people. She always back talks or replies with a comment before storming off. But this usually happens around people she knows well enough, or people that she just doesn't like. She can keep her sass under wraps for brief periods of time before it feels like it's just boiling over.
  

FEARS:

• [ snakes ] - They pretty much freak her out, and she has been scared of them since she was a kid. Especially after being told that she could die from a snake bite. Since then she's avoided them as much as possible.
  
• [ failing the family clan ] - Since she's an only child she feels that she has to keep her family's legacy going, along with making them proud. So she tries to do everything as perfectly as she can, to get the job done. Which is a lot harder than it sounds since nothing ever goes the way she wants it to.
  
• [ demons ] - She's only heard stories about having to deal with them from friends of her parents, or their contacts. Though personally her family hasn't had to tackle one. But after hearing the stories about them Shiloh doesn't want to have to deal with one any time soon.
  
• [ being trapped ] - Since she's used to hunting alone Shiloh is always afraid of getting trapped with no way out because she usually doesn't have back up.
  
• [ losing her parents ] - Shiloh tends to worry about her parents since she's away from them a lot. She's scared that while she's on a job that something might happen to them. Like her father might have a heart attack, or her mom might be in an accident, and she won't be anywhere close by so that she can rush over to see them.
  

POWERS & ABILITIES:

Shiloh's left eye is a product of a family curse past down on her father's side of the family. Long ago one of her father's ancestors had made the mistake of crossing a witch who set a curse upon his offspring. Which was that at least one child of his and his fellow descendants would be born with a type of supernatural deformity. Since then at least one child has been born with something wrong with them.

The severity of the deformity ranges from each child affected. Sometimes it something annoying and needing to be hidden to dangerous and life threatening.

Shiloh got somewhere in the middle as her left eye is able to see any and everything supernatural. So any creature that uses glamor or other types of magic to hide their real forms would be seen by her eye. It also helps her to be able to feel out auras from people who have a decent amount of supernatural abilities.

Around normal people she can get a general sense of people's overall emotions. It comes to her more as a specific feeling or if someone is thinking a certain thought she might be able to pick up on it.

Growing up it was a huge issue with her to deal with, but her parents figured out that her left eye only works when she has direct eye contact with things. So covering the eye was a solution to keep her from seeing so many things at once. So she started wearing an eye patch and in no time she got used to it. From time to time she uses it to her advantage during hunts, but she doesn't like to use it in high populated areas as the auras and emotions come to her in such a rush that it makes her hard to focus and think.

She also often gets really bad headaches when she uses the ability for too long so she only uses it in short bursts.

HISTORY

Shiloh is from a long line of Romani people who have kept the tradition of hunting the things that come out at night. Her family lives in a small community of other Romani hunters, so for the entirety of her life she's know about some of the things that live out there, and have been training to learn how to stop them from hurting people. Since most people of the Romani heritage are looked down and ignored by most society as they're usually seen as thieves and troublemakers. It's easier for them to keep up their hunting duties unnoticed by most people.

Shiloh is the only child of her family so she was 'dotted' on by both her father and mother. Which at times felt very hard for her since she was trying to fill the role of her learning domestic things from her mother. On the other hand trying to live up to the 'first born heir' role that her father would have expected from a son. She prefers to learn more of the things her father tries to teach her, which gets the two of them in trouble with her mother. As Shiloh's mom wants her to learn to be more kind and sweet so she can find a husband at some point and not scare him away.

Shiloh has gone on hunts with her parents so she has some experience and kills under her belt, but it took a while for her to talk her parents into letting her go on hunts by herself. But after she proved to them that she could take care of herself out in the field her parents had no problem turning around, and having her take on the hunts that came to them through contacts. While they decided to take a back seat and cover more of the research and acquiring items and ingredients Shiloh would need to finish of a monster.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE

The chime of a bell rang as Shiloh pushed opened the glass door of the 24 hour laundromat and dragged her loaded laundry bag behind her as she stepped through the doorway. She literally had to drag her bag behind her since it was been way too long since she last washed anything. As she made her way to an empty machine she swore to herself that she’d try to do this a little more often so then she didn’t have to do it all at once.

When she found her spot which was next to some elderly lady, and some other person, (she wasn’t really paying too much attention since it was still pretty early) she opened her laundry bag and started stuffing things into the empty machines hoping that no one would notice the odd red stains of some of her clothes.
