BIOGRAPHY
If there was one thing Lucy always wanted, it was a family. Born in New York as Lucille Mariana Cota in the late 18th century, her life was that of a simple servant, controlled by her family’s employers and filled with the prejudices of the time. Though Lucy was a determined and bold young woman, she refused to let anyone see what they did to her. She masked her thoughts, her feelings, smiling on the outside. She wanted to be strong in a cruel world.
She lost her father at a very young age, though he had very little to do with her. He worked a lot and wanted nothing more from life than increasing his status. Her mother was a positive influence on her growing up and she helped Lucy face the challenges that women like them dealt with daily. They both worked for a wealthy household and it was the only life she knew. Though losing her mother at only thirteen, left the girl alone in a world ruled by rich and powerful. It left her more closed off than she had ever been. And very alone.
However, the lord’s eldest daughter took pity on her and kept Lucy on as her personal maid. Lucy felt trapped in her life with little education and no status but she knew she was lucky to have a job. She wasn’t hurt, she had food and shelter and her lady wasn’t unkind to her. Though this didn’t stop her from wanting more. She wanted a purpose in this world. She wanted a family.
Several years past and her life kept her busy. She moved to her lady’s new home when her mistress was married and she learnt to read and write at her request. She replied to letters for the lady, carried out errands for her and eventually looked after the pregnant woman. Though this saddened her more than anything, she wanted to be a mother. She found herself drawn to a man who worked at the market, every week she’d go to his stall just to talk to him. The talks becoming longer and longer and she’d even pay the price for returning home late. She was falling for him, she wanted to spend time with him.
After a few months of meeting him in secret, she gave him her virtue and he asked her to run away with him. To be his wife. That was all Lucy had ever wanted. To make a family. To be loved. She agreed to leave with him though it never happened. Her master caught her sneaking out and told her that her lover would pay if she left. She never saw him again. Though she realised she was with child. She kept the secret for as long as she could but the lady soon realised. She struggled to work as she grew but she knew she had to. She needed to survive. Lucy held her child once before she was taken and that was the moment that broke her.
The young woman grew unhappy, lost without her love, without her baby. She was miserable. She tried to find her daughter, though she didn’t have the money or resources to do so. Feeling sorry for her, the lady told her that there was a man who could help her. However, she did not know just what his price would be, nor did Lucy. Her life. He turned her into a vampire, she was now immortal. Invincible. But she now had the ability to search for her child.
Lucy embraces everything about being a vampire, never wasting a day of her immortal life. Never wanting to be the servant girl from all those centuries ago. She continued her search for her child every day, until finding out her daughter had died. In her anger, the vampire lost control, giving into her impulses and spending decades losing herself. Though one thing she began to feel was loneliness… her whole human life gone.
Though she did not dwell on these emotions, she was determined to make a new life. She soon came across a young girl who peaked her interest. The girl was selling bread in the market but Lucy knew there was something special about her. She seemed to be in the right place at the right time when she saw a fire in the market place and she pulled the girl from the flames… turning her into her first progeny. And as the years past she turned more, finding people like her. Alone and unloved.
Lucy is intelligent and good with words and she usually has a plan. In her human life she was a dreamer, she wanted more, she wanted a family. She continued to travel over the years and in recent decades she found a real family with a wolf and a young girl who needed a family. She became fond of them both, loved them. They became her family. Though the wolf later pushed her away and she hasn’t settled since. She feels anger but she misses them. She keeps in touch with her vampire progenies despite often living their separate lives, they can easily stay in touch thanks to the 21st century technology. However, she has recently found herself in Summerset Isle and she intends to stay a little while.

You can get back to me in a month if you want. Take care of yourself. 🖤 Pick a character from something you no longer work on or you barely work on anymore. Their MAGM prompt: Plead your case for why your story should be told.
Lucy (from The Dream Warp Series): I mean, my story is amazing! I have an ability that so few have, and I’ve done so much with it... I think it’d be doing the world a disservice not to tell our story.
Jim (Lucy’s father): I mean my baby girl pretty much just said it. The story is too incredible not to tell.
Lisa (Lucy’s mother): I guess I can’t really plead my case. Compared to my husband and daughter, my story isn’t worth anything. But I did marry the most incredible man on this planet and had two beautiful, amazing girls... so if that is a story not worth telling, then I guess mine isn’t.
