Genesis Reed

**Genesis Reed** was a character of *The Werewolf Diaries*. She made her debut in the *first episode* of the fourth season. She was a psychology student. Initially, Jake was attracted to her apparent physical beauty and intelligence, and thus he attempted to keep her sheltered from the major ongoing conflict between the vampires, witches and werewolves of the city.

Over time, she became increasingly involved with the Chamberlain family, partly due to her growing relationship with Jake. This relationship, combined with the fact that she was human, placed her in sights of the family's vengeful enemies, who started noticing the important role that she seemed to play in Jake's life and therefore saw her as an asset against him.

**Genesis's** counterpart is Camille O'Connell from *The Originals*.

## Early History

Genesis revealed to Jacob Chamberlain, that when she was a junior in undergraduate school, her roommate was beaten up by her boyfriend when she attempted to break up with him.
