Personality: Being a Crypt, Virginia has always been a bit of an oddball. Raised with the social rules and decorum of the regency era, she knows all of the social dances to make, despite not truly understanding some of the conventions. But primarily, Virginia can be thought of as a bit of a dark Luna Lovegood mixed with Sherlock Holmes, an almost dreamy individual with no qualms about death. It's her subtle eccentricity, her peculiar nature. Death doesn't startle her--it fascinates her instead, as well as abnormalities in the brain.
Of course, her dreamy nature doesn't make her passive or weak. In fact, Virginia knows very well how to keep her cards close to her chest, and wait for the appropriate time. She simply isn't as motivated to climb the social ladder as others may be, one of the reasons why Virginia currently is not entertaining any suitors. She simply doesn't care. Her independence and stubbornness can come off as a bit bossy, but she'a adapted to essentially managing the Crypt's affairs, due to her parents' absence and her brother's young age.

Family History: The Crypts are a widespread family, with branches appearing in most of the major countries of the world. Some are in the colonies, some in Spain, but the ones to achieve true wealth and power are based in England. The English Crypts were granted an earldom by Henry VIII, from services to the crown. The earldom allowed the Crypt family to enjoy a relatively comfortable life at Wenwynith Manor. Each earl of the family had the title Earl of Dywell, giving the eldest son the courtesy title Viscount Wenwynith.
The Crypt family reputation is relatively unblemished, almost thanks to the Soulless threat. Prior to the entire debacle, they had been seen as an almost eccentric family, producing some perplexing individuals with unusual interests. However, the training against the Soulless and the imminent danger has almost rationalized the Crypt outlook on life, causing them to lose the macabre taste that they enjoyed a few centuries prior.
Currently, the Earl of Dywell and Lady Dywell do not have known whereabouts. It is suspected that they perished when traveling to visit a distant cousin of Lord Dywell's. Wenwynith Manor is currently inhabited by Lady Virginia Crypt and Viscount Wenwynith, as Virginia's grandmother had already passed. However, since Virginia and her younger brother, James, refuse to believe their parent's demise, James has not taken over yet as the head of the Crypt family.
Your personal life: The eldest child and only daughter of Lord Dywell and Lady Dywell, Virginia was expected to inherit the earldom for a majority of her life. Her father had no brothers, merely distant cousins in a messy spiderweb of Crypt family relations. Per the terms the earldom had been charted with, it would then pass to Virginia. Her parents, thus, prepared their daughter for this from an early age, teaching her not how to run a house, but how to lead. Their longtime butler, Alfred, would manage the household affairs to her.
Like her father before her, Virginia tested well at a young age in intelligence and constitution. Most British Crypts did, so it was hardly surprising. From her fascination with the mind and the idea of astral projection, they sent her to the colonies. There she trained to learn to better understand the supernatural forces, as well as protect herself if ever needed. That was, admittedly, a bit of an afterthought for the Crypts. As a rule, they were more fascinated by the soulless than afraid of them.
While in the colonies, Virginia learned to play the violin, fancying herself to be a discoverer of hidden knowledge. She became fascinated with the mind, as well as budding theories that science could be applied to determine the course of past events. It was here in the colonies that Virginia was exposed to both the mysticism of the supernatural, as well as the determinative nature of science.
She concluded her training at the age of eighteen and returned home to England. Just two years after her return, Lady Dywell gave birth to a son, James. The male heir meant that Virginia could no longer succeed her father and claim the earldom. But rather than be bitter, Virginia merely allowed herself to pursue her own studies. The Crypts were always an odd family, and her parents encouraged her, allowing her to turn the dark basement of the manor into a laboratory of sorts. Her experiments were rather simple at first, experimenting with the feeble beginnings of the ideal gas law, as she applied the meager knowledge she gained in the colonies.
At the age of twenty-three, word was sent to the Crypt families that a distant cousin, a native to Spain, was on his deathbed and wished to see Lord Dywell before he died. Her parents left by ship. They never returned. Presently, Virginia acts as the family head in the place of her brother, as he is too young to even be trained. Their trusted butler, Alfred, continues to manage the household affairs.
What you want for your life: Virginia is not quite certain what she desires in life. She wishes to simply satiate her curiosity, to learn whatever it is she desires to learn, even if she is not quite sure what that is. She is a Crypt, she believes herself to be capable of anything she puts her mind to. As for others, she does hope that her brother, James, will grow up just as well as she did, despite her parents' absence.
