SYBIL:




 

SYBIL:

Name Origin
English for "wise old woman".

Physical characteristics:

Sybil shares characteristics of the other Falabranwyn. She has long silky black hair and black eyes that seem to go deep into a person's soul. She has a pale completion and thin body. She stands about five and a half feet tall. She wears a cloak that seems to be made of black feathers. When in bird form, she appears as a crow or raven, depending on her mood. Either way she becomes a black bird with eyes that seem almost human.

Personality:
Sybil is quiet, responsible and sad. She seems to possess unknown knowledge of future events but refuses to share. She exhibits leadership qualities to other members of her shape-shifting race.

Abilities:

All Falabranwyn can shape-shift to appear as ravens or the larger crows. They have prophetic abilities as well, often receiving visions of future events. They don't all get the visions or dreams at once and some like Sybil get more. The Falabranwyn can blend into the shadows and not be seen when they wish. They cannot be heard, seen or smelled if they want to disappear. They have no scent at all. This is a protection against vampires discovering them. As a senior member of their race, Sybil is well trained in all these abilities.

History:

Not much is known about the enigmatic Sybil. Close to King Alar, the first leader of the Falabranwyn, Sybil always believed the 'Prophesy of the Younglings' that Alar gave on his deathbed after the Exodus War. Sybil was very young during the war and still remembers the Farnalla Exodus. She was tasked with watching one of evil Lord Domi's (Dracula) wives, Eliza Pratchet. Sybil became a friend to Eliza and warned her of many things. After the Foresight family arrived in the New World, Sybil watched the children close. She and several Falabranwyn warriors flew to Annabelle and Roland's defense on multiple occasions. Annabelle and Roland spotted Sybil leaving Eliza's cabin right before they rescued Blandia Blackburn from the Salem Trials and before the first Battle of Jorgantown. She has begun training Aisling, a fledgling Falabranwyn.

POLLY DUNSTON



POLLY DUNSTON

Physical characteristics:

Polly has blond hair. She wears simple dresses, usually plain. Most days she goes barefoot.

As an adult she owns a few nice dresses and one pair of shoes.

Personality:

Sweet, kind but shy. Readily able to accept anyone, no matter their faults. Easily scared but has learned bravery thanks to the example of her best friend, Annabelle Foresight.

Abilities:

Polly has the normal abilities of a child and later, a full-grown woman.

Known History:

Polly grew up in Jorgantown, Massachusetts. She has two older brothers, Thomas and Henry. As a child, she spent most her time with her chores. In her era (the late 1600's to early 1700's) children did not attend school. Instead, they were apprentices to their parents. For Polly that meant learning how to make candles, washing clothes and other activities to keep the Dunston household running.

In 1692 she met two friends, Annabelle and Roland Foresight. Shortly after she met them, they were reported missing in the woods. Polly was broken hearted until Annabelle knocked on her two-story window. Once Polly invited her friends inside, Annabelle and Roland explained that they were now vampires. At first Polly was scared but after talking to Annabelle she realized they were still her friends and would never hurt her.

This began a lifetime of friendship. Polly got married at age 17. She and her new husband Patrick began their own farm on the outskirts of Jorgantown. She kept her last name so Annabelle and Roland could always find her. Polly told her children about Annabelle, Roland and Polly's vampire brother Thomas. She swore them to secrecy. Sometime after Annabelle, Thomas and Roland left the New World, Patrick got a better opportunity for their family in Albany New York.  Annabelle, Roland and Thomas visited Polly on her deathbed.

Generations have passed by and it hasn't always been easy, but certain descendants of Polly have always provided help and encouragement to Annabelle's family throughout the last three hundred years.

LUCRETIA

Roman, meaning “wealthy”

Older sister to Roxana Dawn

High Empress of the Roman Covens

Constantly haughty, Lucretia always wears red, silk robes and an elegant white dress. Around each wrist, she wore thick gold bracelets and an eye-catching necklace. She plastered makeup over her eyes and lips as if she tried too hard to look beautiful. To finish her ensemble, two large gold hoops dangled from her earlobes. Lucretia’s hair was styled with short curls that ran down the back of her neck.

 Roman noblewoman who was abused, marshaled the men of her family to avenge her, then was killed. She thought to have killed herself, but she really was turned into a vampire by Zoraton (Marcus), the right-hand ruthless servant of Dominus (Dracula). Introduced Roxana to Dominus. Roxana fell in love with him. They gave up their old life, faked their suicides, then left with Dominus.

 After becoming vampires and drinking a lot of human blood, they became corrupt. Lucretia became vain and couldn’t stand not seeing her beautiful reflection. Lucretia and Roxana hid during the Farnalla Exodus. Once Dracula escaped Croatoan, Lucretia and Roxana returned to him.

HENRY DUNSTON


 

HENRY DUNSTON

Age 13

Physical characteristics:

Henry has brown hair and is in excellent shape due to the constant chores he must do on his father's farm. Like his younger siblings, Thomas and Polly, Henry wears worn hand me downs because his family has just enough to survive the harsh living conditions of Colonial America.

Personality:

Pessimistic, kind off mature for his age because his father is always gone from the house to other colonies for his trading business. Henry has had to take charge. He doesn’t approve of his friend Roland Foresight's recklessness. Very cautious of the vampires living near the town. Doesn’t trust them completely.


Abilities:

Henry has the normal abilities of a child and later, a full-grown man.

 Known History:

Henry grew up in Jorgantown, Massachusetts. He has two younger siblings, Thomas and Polly. As a child, he spent most his time with his chores. In his era (the late 1600's to early 1700's) children did not attend school. Instead they were apprentices to their parents. For Henry that meant helping with the livestock and the crops. He would also travel to town for errands.

 After two children from London England moved to town things became very stressful for Henry. He became fast friends with Roland and Annabelle Foresight but only knew them for a day before they were lost in the woods. Shortly afterward they reappeared at the Dunston's home and announced they were now vampires.

 Henry was no fool. He knew vampires to be dangerous creatures. He could never truly trust them. After Annabelle and Roland introduced him to their adoptive vampire mother, Eliza Pratchet, they kids were attacked by Beufus and Cletus and Charlie. This added to his fear. When the vampire Fenroth captured him his fears became deeper still. Even though Annabelle and Roland helped Henry's brother to rescue him from Fenroth, Henry couldn’t help but wonder if knowing Annabelle and Roland made his family targets.
