Adding another bat to the ponified not-pony OC roster. xD
This is my sunshine child, Aureline DeSoto. She’s foremost a pharmaceutical expert, but over her decades as vampire, has expanded into the other sciences to become the head of her R&D departments for the two organizations she works for: Acheron and Witherfang. The two organizations are business partners and have been for a LONG time.
Aureline wasn’t supposed to be a vampire. She was chosen by her predecessor, the Liaison between the two partners, to join Witherfang employ as a mortal. But jealousy and envy are decidedly deadly, and she ended up fatally poisoned by colleagues who felt she didn’t deserve the placements she got. She only returned to further her career thanks to a hunch on the part of her predecessor; just on the flip side of existence.
Also, she does wear contacts. But really mostly around mortal folk, though, for their comfort. They’re just to hide the red irises.
Not that she seemed to let her circumstances dim her utter love for pharma and science in general! She’s incredibly energetic and genuinely happy most of the time, driven mostly by the thrill of discovery. She’s been known to prattle on about this highly-caustic acid and what she’s doing to relax next week in the same sentence, without losing her enthusiasm. “I came up with this the other night trying to find a different kind of solvent. Brilliant, isn’t it? :D By the way, don’t smell that, it’ll melt your nose right off your skull! ~<3″
