History
- Born in 1981 to a Cop and his wife, mother was loving and supportive, father was distant and strict.
- Childhood was mostly normal until around the time she turned thirteen, then road kill started following her home from school. Her parents didn't like this, at all.
- At first they tried sending her to a Christian School, but the Christians just treated her as if she were the devil itself, and didn't teach her how to control her ability /at all/.
- So eventually they found a Vodoun mamba that could help her. And from the age of fifteen to the age of twenty she was an apprentice to Madame Claire LeVrua in Miami, Florida.

Quotes
"It was never really explained to me. But he did something to tie me to him. He called it some sort of servant, don't remember. And then he just.. disappeared. Leaving me in the city and I could feel the gape there. And I hated him, but his absence made me go a bit insane. I couldn't continue living without him. So I went to.. the rest of.. them for help. I was told my options were lycanthropy, vampirism, or going crazy until I finally killed myself with grief"
— Mourning to Eleanor, Walk a Mile in My Bowling Shoes
Mourning turns and glowers at the nurse she snaps, "If I could control it I would! You think I like having dead all up in my wounds? I don't want to die of sepsis." Then tears start to fall. Black mascara starting to run. "I'd be a normal hospital right now if that stupid whore hadn't rubbed her blood all over me."
