Nelli G

Fashion model Nelli Griffith had it all--looks, influence, and a promising career--until she vanished under mysterious circumstances in San Francisco. The fashion world presumed her dead and mourned its loss, and hasn’t ever realized that Nelli did not die: she is undead.

Nelli is a player in the hidden political world of the Anarch baronies that vie for turf and power across Los Angeles. She runs her own avant-garde fashion company called Thorn.

Nelli G is played by Cynthia Marie on L.A. By Night.

## **Biography**

### **Background**

Nelli was turned by Chaz Price a while before the beginning of Season 1, and while the nature of their relationship was initially kept quite secret, it was indicated that they were intimate, that Chaz 'abused' Nelli over the course of their relationship and that Nelli broke away from him due to his attentions wandering to another Kindred, who Nelli proceeded to drink dry out of spite/jealousy.

At some point after her split from Chaz, Nelli made the acquaintance of Victor Temple and the two entered a close partnership involving 'having each other's backs'.

At some point prior to the start of Season One, Nelli develops a close bond with a mortal named Brad, who she considers 'hers'.

### **Season Four**

Nelli G. is named the new Baron of Hollywood by Baron Abrams before he leaves for Italy due to The Beckoning.

## **Relationships**

**Victor Temple**: Allies before the beginning of Season 1, Victor and Nelli have each other's absolute confidence, while still keeping secrets from one another. As both of them maintain a certain fame in the mortal realm, they are often witnessed in each other's company at public events and often arm-in-arm. They rarely disagree or are at odds with each other, and enjoy a playful banter at most times, usually instigated by Victor.

**Jasper**:

**Annabelle**: Nelli is an active teacher of the fledgling vampire at the beginning of Annabelle's unlife, but she is also very vocal about Annabelle's need to adjust to vampire life.

**Baron Isaac Abrams**:

**Chaz Price**: Nelli and Chaz has a tenuous relationship at best, a stark contrast to the intimate relationship it is implied they enjoyed earlier in Nelli's unlife. Chaz often compliments Nelli, both on her beauty and her personality, but he seems to not respect her as an independent Kindred and he seldom takes ownership of his own part in their relationship, like how he never 'cast away' Nelli and that his fancies would have eventually come back to her on their own.
