Additional Notes

Alathia Busto was born in Wicker Falls in 1880. She is the only daughter of Altamira and Joshua Busto. Her older brother, Joseph, died prior to her birth of pneumonia. When Alathia was a teenager, she was assigned into the Council as a representative for her father due to his Fledgling ceremony taking place in a few days. She was nineteen at the time when the demon Phor came into her bedroom and offered her his blessing so that she could bear him a child whom they would name Mircea if it was a boy and Penelope if it was a girl. Alathia was ashamed of what she had done due to her status in the Council and she was unwed. With quick thinking, she managed to catch the eye of a soldier, Everett Mercer and the two married in just a few days while Alathia was pregnant with Phor's only child. They consummated the marriage and not a hair was out of place. To this day, Everett nor Mircea know the truth.

Min Young became pregnant with a pair of twins but one of them perished due to the conditions of the room where Min Young had given birth. The surviving child was named Everett after Thomas’s late father. After the country turned from the era of kings and queens to democracy, the family moved to Thomas’s birthplace: Scandinavia. When Everett had turned twenty-four he applied for an officer position within the Council. There, he met his current wife Alathia Busto and they went on to have two children, Mircea and Trinity.

Detailed Physical Description: Mircea somehow managed to outgrow his father when he was just ten years old. Like all vampires, Mircea has the ability to will himself to stop growing. Once he felt comfortable with a certain age, he decided to stop becoming an older vampire. Physically, Mircea is a twenty one year old young adult. His hair is an ashy black color with a few grey strands in it and he blames the color on stress although his mother has told him it is hereditary. Once in a while, Mircea will cut his hair short but there's days he prefers to let it grow just past his ears so that he can tie it up. His sister, Trinity, likes to braid his hair and even put a flower in his hair just to annoy her older brother. His eyes are a strange violet color that seem to glow in the darkness kind of like a cat and they appear to change to different shades of violet but somehow always remain the same.

Place/Type of Residence: Wicker Falls, The Mercer Terrace
Occupation: “student”
Place of Work: none

Additional Notes:
Mircea was born in Wicker Falls to his mother Alathia and his real father, Phor, a demon who popped out of the underworld. He was conceived in Spring and born almost in Winter. It is unknown exactly when he came into the world as Alathia herself cannot recall when her child was born. The year is known, 1899. From his early stages in life, Mircea was a difficult child. He would often receive physical punishments from his father for his goofy personality and his lack of empathy when it came to small animals. His best misdemeanor had been on his mother’s white poodle, Betty. Mircea had decided to dye the entire animal green with food coloring and the dye itself could not be removed even when the poor dog was shaved. When he met Kaia, he instantly took a liking to her seeing as how she is the type who plays hard to get but that quickly earns him a black eye that he loves to wear with pride.

Language: English, Korean, Japanese
Family/Friends/Pets/Etc: Thomas Mercer (grandfather, deceased), Min Young Kim-Mercer (grandmother, deceased) Alathia Busto (mother), Everett Mercer(father), Mircea Busto Mercer (older brother)

Physical Description

Height: 5’3”
Weight: 110 lbs
Hair: light brown with blonde highlights
Eyes: light green
Detailed Physical Description: Trinity is a short girl who fully developed at the age of thirteen. Vampires do not age like humans. Their age progresses at a snail’s pace, therefore she will remain the age she wants for the rest of time. Trinity has chosen to stay sixteen as she has willed her body to unage like her family and like other immortals. She has shoulder length hair that curls at the ends and she is small and compact unlike her mother. She is often described as fairy-like both in appearance and in mannerisms. Trinity also wears braces despite having perfect teeth in order to fit in with her peers at school and she has a tiny heart shaped scar on the inside of her left wrist, a symbol that she is not to marry until she is twenty. This scar was burned on her skin as an infant by her father, a Council member.

Personality/Attributes

Personality/Attitude: child-like and very very enthusiastic about the littlest things.
Skills/Talents: Trinity can fly like her old brother
Favourites/Likes: cherry coke and most blood types
Most Hated/Dislikes: Bows. She hates bows with a passion
Goals/Ambitions: Trinity would like to be a fashion designer when she is older but her destiny has already been decided by her parents. She is to join the Council at age nineteen and prepare for marriage.

Fears:
Trinity is deathly afraid of spiders
Hobbies/Interests: She loves to draw and design her own clothing, particularly dresses. She has a knack for recreating other fashion designer’s works but due to her status and fortune, she really doesn’t have a need for that.
Regular Routine: Trinity attends Wicker High along with Kaia Whiteford. They don’t know each other but Trinity often spies Kaia in the library while she studies for her classes. After school, she spends the day with her mother, preparing for the Council entrance exams.

Religion/Beliefs: Christian
Fetishes/Strange Behaviors: Trinity often chews her nails. Her mother forces her to get a manicure every five days to ensure that she doesn’t eat her own nails.
Place/Type of Residence: Wicker Falls, The Mercer Terrace
Occupation: student
Place of Work: none
Additional Notes: Trinity Mercer was born in 1904 in Los Angeles after a thunderstorm when her mother Alathia was traveling for business to California. Her birth was anticipated by her mother as she was aware she was having a girl even without the tech that hadn’t been invented yet. The only person that assisted in the birth of Trinity was a nurse who had the misfortune of being Trinity’s first meal. Trinity is clearly Alathia’s favorite since she is the only child she had with Everett. Although Trinity and Mircea are not aware they are only half siblings, Trinity feels that something is off about her brother but has never had the courage to say something.

She stands with pride, holding her head up high and her snowy white hair is often pulled up into a bun or an elaborate hairstyle. She never wears it down as she believes it makes her seem vulnerable or easy to fool. Her clothes mostly consist of scarves to cover her most delicate area (her neck) and a vivid 1960’s style dress. She has all of her clothes from her youth in a very well preserved state. Her favorite dress is lime green (see pic for reference) that she wears to church every Saturday.

Personality/Attributes


Personality/Attitude: A good word to describe Elena is prickly. She is very judgemental and due to her upbringing, she can also be very strict.

Favourites/Likes: coffee. The lady cannot live without her coffee every morning and afternoon.

Regular Routine: Elena is usually at home, tending to the hundreds of plants she owns. She has her personal greenhouse behind her home due to her love of medicinal herbs and greenery. By the time noon rolls around she will attend her daily Coven meeting with her family and with Council members.

Place/Type of Residence: Wicker Falls, Pennsylvania
Occupation: housewife
Place of Work: none
Additional Notes: Elena Whiteford was born in Chihuahua, Mexico in 1950. Her mother, Maria Rosa, died during her birth and her father, a French businessman, left Elena to be raised by a wet nurse. When Elena was fifteen, her father finally decided to show his face but it was too late. She had discovered who or what she truly was and as punishment, she turned her father to a garden statue. Elena was cunning for her age and with a few dollars, she easily crossed the border into California. While she was working at a hotel she quickly caught the eye of a young man named John Bennett. She had no idea that a few years later, he would become her husband and the father to her first child. Once Elena had her child, a healthy baby boy, she let herself be consumed by depression since John had never told her that he had another family. He would visit Elena on the weekends in California then travel back to Pennsylvania where he lived with his other family. The final straw was when John wanted to claim custody of their child and Elena refused. This angered John and he committed a horrid thing. He sunk his fangs into their child, killing the baby boy instantly. Elena, infuriated, performed a spell on John that forced him to lose his vampiric DNA, stripping him of his immortality and he crumbled into a pile of dust. After Elena cleaned the mess, she packed her bags and moved to Pennsylvania to start a new life and be close to her late husband’s family. The only thing on her mind now was revenge which she would get in time. Elena only has one daughter, Karolina who was born in 1985 to an unknown man.

Physical Description

Height: 175 lbs
Weight: 5’3”
Hair: light brown
Eyes: hazel
Detailed Physical Description: Karolina shares her mother’s eye color and her unknown father’s light brown hair. She is smaller than Elena but a tad heavier. After her second pregnancy, she never lost the baby weight. She mostly wears dark colors to hide her body as she is very self conscious about her appearance. Karolina sticks to jeans and long t-shirts but does dress up when her mother tells her to.

Personality/Attributes

Personality/Attitude: Karolina can be a bit of an airhead. She is really oblivious as to what goes on around her and Elena is thankful for this. Her ability to hold a conversation is not good as she has a short attention span but that is not entirely her fault.
Skills/Talents: Karolina is very good at cooking. She might not be the most intelligent of the bunch but her cooking is to die for. Literally. Witches specialize in a type of magic and her skills are mostly with adding magic to her cooking.

Favourites/Likes: When it rains, Karolina really enjoys crafting. She is especially fond of decking out photo albums.
Most Hated/Dislikes: Loud noises. When Karolina was a child, her mother would yell at her often since Karolina was a late bloomer and didn’t quite get things as fast as the other children. This scarred her so now she prefers not to be yelled at or be spoken to in a loud tone.
Goals/Ambitions: None. She is very happy with the life she has now in Wicker Falls.
Fears: Her biggest fear is losing her children. Alessandro had a close brush with death due to a spell gone wrong. She mostly blames herself for her son almost dying.
Hobbies/Interests: Scrapbooking
Regular Routine: Her day normally begins by getting up super early and before everyone else. She tends to the many plants inside their home as well as the ones in her mother’s greenhouse. After her children are awake, she cleans the house until it is spotless. This is done every day.

Religion/Beliefs: Catholic
Fetishes/Strange Behaviors: fidgets a lot
Place/Type of Residence: Wicker Falls, Pennsylvania
Occupation: housewife, Council Member
Place of Work: none
Additional Notes: On chilly September morning, Karolina Whiteford came into the world. Her mother had no troubles giving birth to her. There isn’t much to say for Karolina’s childhood since her mother kept secluded for most of her life. She kept her locked up in her room until she was ready to get married. Elena was the one who picked her husband, a rich heir to a coal business from Pittsburgh. His name was Oliver Black and there was a rumor going around that he was a Healer. Male witches are not called witches, they are called Healers since they do not possess the ability to cast spells or do incantations. They got married right away and had their first child, Alessandro, within three months of being married. After Karolina had her daughter, Kaia, Elena made Karolina get surgery so that she couldn’t have any more kids. When Kaia was three and Alessandro was five, their father Oliver died a horrible death. The human authorities had said it was a fire that caused him to die but the Whiteford family knew better. A healer was not easy to kill. The real cause of death had been a vampire attack. All fingers pointed to the Bennett family. Elena, however, let it slide. Karolina forgave them for what they had done but it could have due to the fact that Elena keeps her subdued with incantations.

Name: Oliver Black (deceased)
Name Meaning: In English Baby Names the meaning of the name Oliver is: The olive tree. The biblical olive tree symbolizes fruitfulness and beauty and dignity.

Social Class/Community Status: Heir to family company, a coal processing plant

Physical Description
Height: 5’11”
Weight: 145 lbs
Hair: black
Eyes: baby blue with a hint of grey
Detailed Physical Description: Oliver Black was a very thin man for someone of his height. He had a very sharp nose and thin lips. His black hair was wispy and thin despite him being too young to have thinning hair and it is possible it was due to genetics. He often sported dark circles under his eyes due to sleepless nights and stress.

Personality/Attributes


Personality/Attitude: He was a quiet man, who mostly kept to himself. He preferred to stay home and stay out of Council affairs. Elena felt like he wasn’t strong enough to be the supporter of the family so she took it upon herself to make her family rise from the ashes. Oliver was born with a golden spoon in his mouth so he hated to help out around when he lived in the Whiteford household.
Skills/Talents: none
Favourites/Likes: none
Most Hated/Dislikes: none
Goals/Ambitions: none

Fears: none, Oliver was very reserved
Hobbies/Interests: reading his morning newspaper was the highlight of his day
Regular Routine: Oliver usually got up at five in the morning coffee while his wife, Karolina, prepared his breakfast of eggs and two pieces of toast. There was no affection between the two and Oliver never really cared for affection. Most of the day was spent by sitting in an armchair and letting Karolina or Elena do all the house work and raising both his children. He never hugged or kissed his children as well.

Religion/Beliefs: Catholic
Fetishes/Strange Behaviors: Oliver was a man of many secrets. Up until his death, no one knew that he was possibly lying about who his family was and Elena had discovered that Oliver had another child.
Place/Type of Residence: Wicker Falls, Pennsylvania
Occupation: none
Place of Work: none

Additional Notes: Oliver Black was born in Pittsburgh but the time and date are unknown. What is known is that his mother and father died both when Oliver was just a baby. He would be raised by his aunt who absolutely hated him from the time he arrived in her house. When Oliver became an adult, he would inherit his parents’ massive fortune. After having spent half his life savings, he moved to Wicker Falls and was summoned by Elena Whiteford. She had told him that she needed a husband for her daughter who was more or less an airhead. Oliver agreed right away but only because of the payout he received. All he had to do was give her a few children then be on his way. But things became awry when he was brutally killed by a vampire. To this day, one one knows who murdered Oliver Black except himself.

Physical Description

Height: 5’0”
Weight: 135 lbs
Hair: light brown, dyed black
Eyes: light grey
Detailed Physical Description: Kaia Whiteford is shorter than her entire family, partly due to genetics. According to her grandmother, her great grandmother was just as short as her. She developed quite early at the age of twelve and has bigger breasts than most women her age as she is seventeen but her birthday is coming up pretty soon. Her hair is chopped short as a sign of rebellion to her grandmother and dyed black to erase all traces of her father. Her eyes are a stunning light grey color that often appear to change colors and she loves to outline them with coal-like eyeliner. Her favorite lipstick color is deep red and she wears it to school even though it's not allowed.

Personality/Attributes

Personality/Attitude: From the age of two, Kaia was a very difficult child. And no, it wasn’t because she never wanted to take her afternoon nap. Ever since she had her terrible twos, they have followed her all the way into adulthood. Perhaps it's mostly in part to her father dying a terrible death or maybe Kaia is not her mother’s child. While Karolina is a puppet, Kaia is not.
Skills/Talents: When Kaia was just a year old, she summoned a demon from the Underworld. This demon granted her one wish. Kaia is the only one who knows what that wish is.
Favourites/Likes: Kaia loves took cook with her mother. It's a way for her Kaia to get close to her.
Most Hated/Dislikes: gum under her shoes, certain Mercer boy
Goals/Ambitions: When Kaia is older, she would like to pursue a career in forensics but her grandmother has other plans.

Fears: snakes
Hobbies/Interests: drawing, mostly anime
Regular Routine: Since Kaia is a minor, she attends high school from seven-thirty to about two in the afternoon. Once she is home, she practices from her spell book and likes to go with her grandmother to the Council meetings where she can get advice from the High Priestess.
Religion/Beliefs: Catholic
Fetishes/Strange Behaviors: Kaia doesn't call Elena "grandmother". Since most Hispanic children have terms of endearment for their grandparents, she calls Elena "Malena" which is a form of 'Ma' (mom) and 'Lena' (short for Elena).
Place/Type of Residence: Wicker Falls, Pennsylvania
Occupation: student
Place of Work: Council, as a freelance artist for trials.

Additional Notes: Kaiana was born in October, just a few days from Halloween. She was born at home since her grandmother, Elena, refused to have human doctors touch her granddaughter. With a few spells and incantations, Kaiana came into the world without any trouble. Like her brother's birth, her father was not present for her arrival. In fact, the one who did the honor of cutting the cord was her two-year old brother, Alessandro. Most children grow up with a fun and care-free childhood except Kaia. While her father was absent for most of her life, Elena was the enforcer of rules in the house. Kaia would often get spanked for doing minor things such as pulling cookies from the counter or casting minor spells on her brother. When Kaia had turned a year old, she had escaped into her grandmother's greenhouse with a spell book and managed to summon the demon, Phor. While most children are not able to cast spells until the age of ten, Kaia had already summoned a powerful demon that granted her a wish. After Phor disappeared, Kaia was left with a small cut on her lower torso that marked her as a servant to Phor and would eventually owe him a favor in return for granting her one wish.

Most of his clothes consist of t-shirts and tank tops and he prefers basket ball shorts over jeans.

Additional Notes: Like his sister, Kaiana, Alessandro was also born in his home with his grandmother Elena and his mother Karolina as the only ones that could assist in his entrance into the world. Also like his sister, Alessandro had a very rough childhood. From the age of five, Elena sought out a family that could bring back status into her ruined family name and what better way than to cozy up with the enemy. After a few visits to the Bennett Estate, Elena was successful in pairing up Athena Bennett (the youngest child) with Alessandro. Since then, he has been engaged to her. Throughout the years, the pair interacted very little but when he reached puberty, Alessandro discovered that he very much like Athena. In October, the two will be wed in a Bloodbinding ceremony organized by the Council and Elena's Coven.

Personality/Attributes

Personality/Attitude:Evangeline is as snobby as they come. Due to her husband's status and influence in the human world, she deemed herself the queen of the Council (although Alathia Mercer would gladly dispute that) and she is rather intimidating at first glance.

Additional Notes True to her nature, Evangeline was born in Italy on a hot summer day in 1810. During this time, Italy was still a monarchy so it's believed that her father belonged to the royal family but records were lost so she isn't too sure. Her mother died in child birth so she was raised by her nanny, Stella, whom she was very fond of. Stella was not a vampire and once Evangeline grew up, she promised she would turn her into an immortal being so they could be together forever. Unfortunately, her nanny became ill and died in a few weeks. In 1826, she was sold off a slave to an older man named Fausto Bennett who was six years older than her. He was immediately enchanted with her beauty and graceful mannerisms that he took her as a bride but didn't make it official. The pair had a child a year later, who died during childbirth and decided to try again but much much later when they had settled and made a name for themselves. Their son, Salvador, was born in 1945 and their daughter, Athena Marianna, was born a year later in 1946.

As Uncle Ben once said "with great power comes great responsibility" and this applies to Salvador very well.

He tends to stay away from his father and Council meetings as he does not like their ideals on a "perfect" Society.

Additional Notes Salvador was born on a rainy day in April in 1945 while his father was in the other room, passing out cigars to commemorate his first child coming into the world. His mother, Evangeline, was in labor for ten hours and struggled to have him. Since Salvador didn't want to come out, the doctors had to break his mother's water and do a C-section due to the risk of Salvador suffocating on his own umbilical cord. Being spoiled was an understatement. Evangeline deemed it best to raise her children with very lax rules to ensure good child development.

Additional Notes: Athena was born just a ten months after her brother. Unlike her brother, though, she was born during a trip to Spanin when her mother's water broke suddenly and never got contractions. Fausto sprung into action and managed to catch Athena as soon as she came into the world. After she was born, a maid from the Estate called an ambulance to ensure that the baby and the mother would be healthy. Athena is a spoiled child, mostly in part because of her father. The first person that she was was Fausto. When she was quite young, Evangeline sought out a suitable husband for her daughter. The choice was finalized when Elena Whiteford introduced her grandson, Alessandro, to Fausto. He instantly took a liking to him due to his "strong aura". Up until Athena was thirteen, she despised Alessandro due to his protective nature but later fell in love with him for the same reason. He is no way controlling of her but if she does change her mind about their engagement, she is free to go.
