20 (born in 1977)
Dad - Jorge
Mom - Bridget
Grandmother - Angelina who she calls Nana
Her parents met in college. Mom persuade dad for a long time before they started dating. Bridget is of Italian (mom-Angelina) and Irish (dad) decent. Jorge is from Central America. Two are married, have Magdalene about 2 years later, try for other kids, but after two miscarriages, they stop.
At 5, Jorge starts to take Magdalene to "The Church" despite some initial problems with Bridget demanding to go with them (but Bridget grew up very Roman Catholic). The Church is a basic variation of voodoo but a more pantheistic believes than Christian and a few more white magic principles tossed in, but still involves many blood rituals and regular sacrifices. At 6, Dad insists that Magdalene kills a chicken and she has no real problems with it except it is messy, but the blood is kinda cool. Dad strongly reinforces that people can not know about this as they wouldn't understand and might try to hurt the "family" referring to the other church members, not the actual family.
Mom dies in a car accident when Magdalene is 7. Mom and dad were fighting alot so Magdalene wonders if Dad had something to do with it in the back of her mind. Never expresses that sentiment and loves her dad a great deal. Dad moves in the grandmom to have someone watching her. Nana tries to teach Magdalene about God and Christ and all, which Magdalene thinks of as cool stories.
Magdalene started reading when she was almost 2 and reads all the time. Also, she has a ver vivid imagination and used to have dreams that she would recall the next day with near perfect clarity. Some were almost premonitions of things to come which she took for granted (until they all vanished after her becoming a vampire...which she misses).
In school, she has a good friend named Becky. Sweet girl but not very bright though that doesn't bother Magdalene. She ignores boys throughout grade school and as they get older, people start to think she is a bit weird.
She is pretty friendly, but people keep a distance. Some friends, but not too many close ones. During her junior year, she meets a boy in The Church and they become an item. Dad tries to instruct her on sexual rituals and she thinks he is weird and ignore him like any teenage girl. She become sexually active and when they break up, guys seem more interested in her and she starts dating a few people though nothing as serious again.
She gets into a good school with some scholarships in the area (have no idea what decent schools are there). At a blood ritual during her first year of college, she meet Julian. He is older, seems about 35. Julian is supposedly the receptacle and gets to drink blood from each of the members, each making a small cut to drain into one glass. Guess what Julian is? *grin*
After that time, he doesn't reappear, but she keeps an eye out for him. She is out one night and happens to bump into him and ask him if he would like to get coffee. He says a drink would be fine and they go to a local bar and start talking. They talk for hours and she is completely enthralled with him, but to his surprise, he is taken with her. Not really an good reason, but he is drawn to her and finds something about both her native and knowledge quite delightful.
The two started to spend many evenings together though sometimes he would have this business trips where he would have to leave for a week or two. He told her he was a political aid which was not a lie. He is aid to the 2nd in line to the position of Prince of Chicago. Occasionally, he would be set out of town to deal with problems in an outlying region. Despite his high rank, he is loyal to the 2nd in line. He protects him with his life and does not wish him ill, despite his own desires to be prince. He also knows he needs another 50-100 years before he would be ready to be prince.
After about 6 months of no sex but some very intense erotic moments, Magdalene finally asked him to please make love to her. He said he couldn't but finally proclaimed his love. She told him she loved him. To which he responded that she didn't know him... She said she did of course and after some talk he confessed he was a vampire.
Honestly, she figured he was into drinking blood. Fine. She thought that was great and said that was fine. He clarified and she was stunned, but he did some things to prove it and she said she didn't care, she loved him. He started to permit her to stay overnight with him now and again, but was careful that it was not his true haven.
After 4 months she started asking him all sorts of questions on how one becomes a vampire and said shouldn't he change her. He said she needed to finish school and was still to young. This angered her and she got huffy. He went on about how she needed to experience more before he could transform her... She had to be sure.
So 2 months later she told him she was certain. He flatly refuses saying that she would have to wait a few years, at least til she got her PhD. After throwing a fit, close to a temper tantrum, she screamed that she would become a vampire whether he like it or not and stormed out.
She called the next day, much calmer and told him she was just upset but she really wanted this. He said this was his choice and he would make it when he was ready and it was best for her, leaving it there.
Meanwhile, The Tremere in the area believe that the current Prince is weak and they need to make sure he is taken care of. They also know, having those in their pockets who are close to the Prince and his aids is a sure fire way of ensuring that they will be happy should they suddenly, and of course due to no fault of theirs, have the new Prince.
Keeping tabs on those high in the power of the Ventrue clan, they came across a rendezvous with Magdalene and Julian. They knew that Magdalene was young, impressionable naive and not only that, she had a passion for the occult, knew rituals already and was intelligent. A prefect bait and an ideal candidate. Trailing them for a while, a conversation was overheard at a restaurant about her pleading once more to be changed and getting huffy.
