| Name: | Eugénie LaFontaine | ||||||||||
| Bio: |  Full Name: Eugénie LaFontaine (born Amelha Lafon) Gender: Female Species: Vampire - Son of Cain PB: Catherine Zeta Jones Age and DOB: 327 years old - born September 25, 1706, turned in 1725 at age 19. Character Description: Turned at the age of nineteen, Eugénie has the eternal appearance of girlish sweetness. Her slight figure and her long dark hair and large dark eyes make her seem doe-like and innocent, but she has a coquettish expression and a conscious sensuality in her movements. Eugénie takes great care of her appearance and is never careless with her grooming or less than meticulous with her clothing. She prefers simple but elegant styles and thinks that trousers are a shameful waste of a woman’s legs. Personality: Eugénie is a gracious and attentive woman with the ability to make anyone feel comfortable in her presence. Her conversation seems effortless so that, talking to her, one would feel as if they had known her for years, but while she is charming and genial and draws others in with her easy manner, she gives back very little of herself, like a living mirror. Eugénie’s private life is closed to all but a very few loved ones, but with them she is warm and giving. Background:  Amelha was born in Marseilles in 1706, the oldest child of a poor fisherman with two daughters and no sons. From the time she was young, she took in washing and mending to supplement the family’s meagre income, but in 1720 when the Plague struck Marseilles, her father died and she, her mother and sister were left without support or protection. The Plague reached such epidemic proportions that the Parlement ordered a wall to be built, cutting off Marseilles from the rest of Provence, while within the bodies pilled up in the streets. The penalty for attempting to cross the wall was death, but as the situation grew more and more desperate in the city, Amelha and her family decided that they had no choice. They sold everything they had and scrambled to scrape together every coin they could in order to bribe their way past one of the wall guards. With nothing but the clothes on their back, they made their way to Avignon, but once in arrived in the city, they had no money and no prospects. Her mother again took work as a laundress, but Amelha knew it would not be enough. With her only choice being starvation, Amelha sold herself to one of the city’s brothels, and because no one would want an Occitan whore, she changed her name to the more French-sounding Eugénie LaFontaine. Eugénie was not unhappy in the brothel. When she had no clients, her time was her own, and she learned other things than how to please a man with her body. She learned to play the cittern, to recite poetry, how to make pleasant conversation, and how to drink without getting drunk. Soon, she became one of the most requested courtesans in the city and her mother and sister wanted for nothing.  But one night, a man came to her, and he was not like any man she had ever seen before. He was handsome and young – perhaps even younger than her – but his eyes were as beautiful as blue jewels and there was something ancient hidden behind them. He lay down with her, and at the height of it, she felt his teeth sink into her neck. She cried out from more than pleasure as she realised he was drinking her blood. She struggled under him and, seeming surprised, he pulled back. He looked down at her, his mouth red with her blood. His eyes were like blue fire. “Are you going to take my soul?” Eugénie asked him, looking up at him defiantly as if daring him to try. Blood ran from her wound down her neck, down her breasts, staining the white bed linen scarlet and she paid no heed. “I’m no demon,” the man said. “Your soul is safe from me.” “Are you going to kill me?” she asked him flatly. For long moments they regarded each other, and she could see indecision warring in him. Finally, he said, “No,” and she could see that he surprised himself with those words as much as her. She said: “Then make me what you are.” This was how Eugénie Lafontaine became one of the Sons of Cain. The world opened up to her beyond the scope of her previous imagining. With her sire, Gabriel, she felt as if she could go anywhere, do anything. And if she had thought him beautiful and powerful, there were no words for the ones who had sired him. He called them the Sanguine and to Eugénie they were like gods in human form. In all the years that she knew them, she never entirely lost her awe of them. When she heard of the kingdom and the sanctuary they had made for themselves in Las Vegas, Eugénie followed them there, certain that whatever they accomplished there, it would be grand, and she wanted to be a part of it.  Strengths: Fast healing, superior speed, strength, and agility, heightened senses – the natural strengths of a vampire. Weaknesses: Fire, direct sunlight, decapitation or heart trauma – the natural weaknesses of a vampire. Dark gifts: Eugénie has the ability to impart false memories which, before Meteor Fall when subterfuge was still necessary, she used as a clever means of hiding her feedings. Talents and hobbies: Eugénie learned from her sire a love of books, and she has a small collection of poetry and music that she has preserved lovingly. Eugénie has an appreciation for art in general, and she enjoys dancing (though not by herself) and is an accomplished cittern player. What other skills her experience might have taught her she would not mention in polite company. Family and friends: Sire Gabriel Spitz, grandsire Lucian, employer Tristan Fitzpatrick Location: The Venetian hotel Length of stay in Vegas: Two years Position: Printing assistant | ||||||||||
