==Early History==
Seana Kane, born Seana Eva Petrescu, was born somewhere in Northern Ireland, on October 11, 1885. She was born to a man named Alaric Petrescu, and his wife Eva. They named her after her mother. Her father was part Romanian and Irish descent, while her mother was full Irish. In the spring of 1886, her parents were struck and killed in a wagon accident, leaving her an orphan. Her ancestor, Orion Petrescu, who looked after his descendants, took her and left her to be raised by the Kane's, a couple who were sired by Orion, and had been wanting to raise a child. However, Orion's wife Claire almost wanted to raise her herself, since she never had children, but saw Seana's fate that she would one day become one of them, a vampire, no matter where she went. And it wouldn' t have been safe if Seana stayed with them, since Claire and Adelaide had been being targeted by the Circle of Nine. 
It was revealed that Seana was the last living of his family line. Afterwards, Riley Kane and his wife came to England and adopted Seana in late 1886, and they returned to Ireland. She was raised as the only child of the Kane's, to whom they adored, and raised her to be kind and helpful to others. She was turned sometime in 1904 by her uncle Orion Petrescu. 
In 1905 her adoptive parents were brutally murdered, supposdly by the Mirren Pack. Unknown to her at the time, Orion was responislbe and blamed them so that Seana would hunt them down and hopefully prevent Zachary Pierce from being born. He wouldn't do it himself, since that would have started a war. Seana, not knowing the truth swore revenge and hunted the pack down. In the process, she lost her humanity due to the overwhelming amount of grief for her parents' murder. 
==The Hathaway Chronicles ==
=== Darkness Descending ===
She is first seen in the chapter Sins of the Past when she meets Scott at a bar and turns him into a vampire, and it was revealed she was the one who kept him from dying after the car accident that took his parent's lives and nearly his own. Later in New York City in 1994, she is tracking a lead on the Mirren Pack, but it leads to a dead end. Scott also regains his humanity back thanks to Adelaide and Scott leaves her after the two get into a fight that destroyed Hazel's shop. 
In the chapter A Mother's Love, Seana had turned several individuals to help aid her in killing off the Pierce Pack in Seaside. However, her plans are later thwarted by Scott, Marcus and some enforcers of the Hathaway coven. But she managed to kill the pack leader's wife Aria and attempted to kill Zach and Lillian. Scott later scared her off for the next seven years. 
Seana returned to Seaside in 2012. She claimed to be checking up on Scott, but was really there continuing her revenge against the Mirren family by waiting until Zachary became an adult to kill him, but was waiting till he continued the family line so she can always kill a generation of Mirren's. She also wanted to sire new vampires to be her companions, specifically Isabel Florence. She also turned Maggie Crawford at the request of Isabel. 
After the evens of the Homecoming Dance in When Sparks Fly, after having subduing Isabel, her uncle appears and to punish Isabel for her actions, kills Brandon brutally in front of them all. This causes a trigger in Seana's humanity, that had begun to resurface after helping Brandon have his family forget him. She even is shocked that just seeing some random human die caused it to come back. In A Downward Spiral, months have gone by, she has been imprisoned by her uncle and weakened considerably. When he comes to ask for her help in taking care of things for the Hathaway Coven, she rebuffs him saying she could care less for the coven. However, he tasks her with killing Scott and Zach, since they were both with Lily and Cel and he wanted them to take up the mantle his wife had left behind for them. He also slips up, saying that Claire had forseen Zach's family being a "problem" later on, since he didn't want to see his reborn wife with a werewolf, so he wanted him dead. He instead framed the wolves for killing the Kane's, something Seana secretly discovers. Once she falsely agrees to her uncle's plan and is free, she had no intention of helping him. She procures werewolf venom from Markus, and only knocks him out instead of killing him. Originally, she was going to go to Scott and have him help her kill her uncle by first causing him to go mad when she injected him with the venom. Instead, Scott refused to help her and she decided to use it on him instead so he would kill Lillian. 
Towards the end of the novel in the chapter Fever Dream, her humanity is forced back through an unknown individual. Afterward. the woman tells her she gets to decide her own fate, though told Seana she thought she had a little good left to do in the world. Seana is last seen holding a stake, contenplating her fate. She mentioned being free from the darkness at last, then her fate remained unknown. 
=== Silently Falling ===
Seana is heavily mentioned throughout the novel by various people, most notably Scott and Eleanor. It was revealed by Celesta that the coven found a pile of ash that was in Seana's cell and a stake. They did not know how the stake got in there, but that she killed herself and the sun burned her body to ash. 
==Appearance==
Seana was described as giving off a mysterious look, having light pale skin, long raven black hair, and steel gray eyes, at first glance anyone would be enchanted with her. She often used this to lure people to do what she wanted. In 2012, she usually she wore clothing that amplified her natural beauty with a dark edge to it, such as leather jackets and black clothing. 
==Personality==
=== Human ===
As a human, Seana was very adventurous as a child, and she frequently went on vacations with her adoptive parents, who loved to travel, and wanted Seana to see the world. When she became 16, she became a nurse, and worked at the local sanatorium in Ireland. Knowing her parents could use their blood to heal others, and asked why they didn't, they had said that it was wrong to control nature, and to let people pass on. At 18, she asked to become like them, since she wanted to use her newfound vamprisim to heal others. They warned her that she could never have children, and would never age another day, but regardless, they gave her her wish. 
=== Vampire ===
Once a vampire, she was still how she was when she was human. But after a pack of werewolves came and slaughtered her family to whom were innocent, she was never the same afterward. It later led to her switching off her humanity. Ever since then, she's become ruthless and at times psychotic. She also enjoys causing chaos or playing games with people, almost like a cat and mouse. She pitied very few people, and would turn them into vampires if she sought fit. Her progeny Scott, always referred her to being a psycho with no respect for humanity. She also has a vendetta against the Mirren clan, the werewolves that killed her family. She went so far as to kill Aria Pierce in front of her child, Zach. However despite her lack of humanity, she at one instance helped Brandon out, though mostly to save her own skin and Isabel's life. This showed she was still capable of some form of kindness. Lillian tried to force her humanity back on, but failed. She was later freed by an unknown person, everyone thinking it was Orion. It was in fact Adelaide that forced her humanity back on so she could start a new life. And unknowingly, be an important ally later on.
