## History

### Early Life

#### Childhood

When Caroline was born, she was diagnosed with a rare disease called Privaphia which is magical in nature. She had a very severe case of it, which made it almost impossible for her to continue to live. A special species of vampires has been proven to be immune to Privaphia however, so her doctor's idea was to change most of her organs and her blood against that of a recently deceased vampire of that species. It was not clear if she would survive, but she eventually pulled through. Her modified biology however proved to be another challenge, as she now had new needs relating to the species whose traits she now possessed.

Because of her illness, both of her parents were very protective of her. She was rarely allowed to leave her quarters, let alone the manor itself and until she was 6 she was under the constant supervision of her doctor and several nurses. She had to undergo several treatments a day, as well as several surgeries. She had to take a lot of medication, as well as ingesting blood. She did relatively well, better than anyone would have guessed. She was confined to a wheelchair, mostly because her parents worried about her well-being, even though she did not really need it.

Whenever she got some time alone she would secretly explore the old manor and it's many hidden passages, corridors, rooms and secret places. Her ability to see in the dark aided her with her shenanigans.

Since her parents got along well with the Ravenblades, her best friend since early childhood had been Arthur Ravenblade. He was like an older brother to her and after he brought Inora along to visit her one day, the two girls quickly became friends. She often invited the two on her secret adventures in the Sullingbird manor.

She was extensively educated. The Sullingbird-Family had always prided itself in the intelligence that all of the family members seemed to naturally have and her father was no different. She enjoyed her science lessons and she decided early on that she wanted to be a doctor to help people just as her doctor Jake Dalton helped her.

#### Teenage years

When she was 12, she was allowed to leave the manor for the first time in her life. After that her parents often brought her along for visits at friends' and business partners' houses or let her visit Arthur and Inora. She was not allowed to just leave however, and she was certainly never allowed to just go to town. Her overprotective parents deemed a visit to town too dangerous for her.

She rarely abided the rules however and she snuck out and went exploring the town a lot of times anyways, either alone or tagging along with Arthur and Inora.

When she was 13 she met a 14-year old boy called Henry on one of her escapades. He was hiding in an alleyway and had a light injury on his arm. She smelled the blood and went over to him, asking if he was okay before offering to treat his arm. He was obviously shocked, as she should not have been able to see him and she just treated his arm and chatted with him about this or that. They soon became friends and she often went out with him, introducing him to Arthur and Inora soon after.

When she was 15, Henry showed up at her home severely injured and revealed that his father had thrown him out. Her father decided to go and confront him while Caro treated Henry. Zacharias took Henry in almost immediately.

When she was 16, she and Henry entered a relationship.

### Adulthood

She became a docter fairly early on in her life, establishing a clinic next to the manor. She and Henry married and had 6 children over the course of 12 years.

She died in an accident when she was 30 and came back to life shortly after as a full vampire, something that nobody really expected to work. She had her last daughter Natalia after she became a vampire, which caused her to inherit not only Privaphia, but also the vampiric gene, only in a much stronger concentration.

When she was 38, her then 6-year old daughter Natalia disappeared and was later found dead. Unbeknownst to the grieving family, the girl was immortal and couldn't die.

Henry died when he was 49 through a violent attack. Caroline found the culprits and brought them to justice, but she never emotionally recovered fully from the incident.

## Personality

Caroline is known to be witty and sassy, yet also kind and gentle. She was usually quiet as a child but not because she was shy, but because she loved observing others instead of enganging in conversation herself. That changed quite a bit over the years and now she's chatty and and can be kind of obnoxious.

She's confident, she knows what she can do and she's determined to not be a push-over. She can be very stubborn and her inability to compromise in certain situations has brought her trouble in her political career sometimes.

She loves fiercely and she will do anything to protect those she cares about. She's a compassionate soul, that's one of the reasons she had for becoming a doctor, she wants to help people.

## Skills and Powers

Her vampiric biology is the source of her powers.

She is faster and stronger than humans and her senses are heightened. She can smell blood from hundreds of meters away and due to the nocturnal nature of vampires, she can see perfectly well in the dark and her eyes even glow in the dark. She doesn't have to eat or ingest anything more than a bit of blood every once in a while and she doesn't need a lot of sleep. On the flipside, she's more sensitive to loud sounds, strong smells and bright light and she's also more sensitive to sunlight. She is also affected by several runes and spells made specially against vampires.
