~Tempest learned of her ability when she was but twenty years old(as a human) with that, she learned she was able to control storms and manipulate them for a time. She is rather talented at making thunder+lightning storms but can also do other weather phenomenon that can cover a good two-three block radius but anything further and she suffers some unpleasant side effects. If she overdoes it, she suffers at first a lightheaded sensation similar to the start of a high that will quickly devolve into a full-blown migraine coupled with the similar effects of being highly intoxicated.

History
~ Mother had been born in Frankia during the Norseman raids, captured and taken as a slave. Within a year she fell pregnant by her captor and would bor the union of a Frankish Norsewoman.
Born into slavery, Tempest, learned early on that she had to work hard to survive. Though when born, a Seer predicted to her father that she would come into a great and turbulent power that he would be wise to harness.
At age 5 she was granted freedom with the condition that she take up the Norse ways and learn to be a shieldmaiden, in doing so her mother would be freed and cared for; at that tender age, she agreed.
For fifteen years, Tempest Stormr-Dreki, learned to fight. She often went on raids and on her twentieth year the Seer’s prediction came true and she was able to use an unknown gift to be able to calm a storm that threatened to destroy the ship that they were on.
Tempest felt the turbulence of the storms raging inside her, the control not easy as weather was unpredictable and thusly so was she.
At 25 things started to come to a head, her father grew fearful of her powers that she managed to have. Though she was loved and respected now in their clan, she was feared for if she ever turned on them she could destroy them. So her father hired the help of a hunter to take her on a trip and to dispatch the young woman so that she would never turn on the people she loved as her own.
Fate was on her side, for in the night someone came into the tent she was staying at on the hunt, covering her mouth and warning her that her people had turned on her and that her only chance at survival was to drink this thick viscous liquid and let the death happen but to not fear, she would live once more and could take her revenge on those that betrayed her. Tempest agreed to this and to meet up before the first new moon.
During a hunters moons, Tempest woke to the hunter, staring her down as he held a knife above her heart frozen in fear of actually killing her but she smiled. She had the brief time she needed to accept what was to happen and took his wrist to force him to finish the deed because she knew she would come back and swore to them a storm would rage across their home with her dying breath.
Tempest awoke a day later, the blade no longer in her heart but laying at her side. She was alive, starving but alive. Patiently, she waited out the time until the new moon and her mysterious Sire to turn up again. When they did meet once more, he explained that he was from France but also a vampire or what she understood as a Draugr. He told her what he life was to be now, that she would never age, never see the sun again but also would never be weak again. Tempest accept this and the fresh human blood that he offered to her which she drank- she was Viking after all so she was not afraid of a little blood. The day of her death; October 13th, 1030AD
On the first new moon, promptly at midnight she was reborn in her eyes. She felt that she was reborn as the goddess of death, for this night she would take revenge on those that wanted to end her. Night after night, Temptest would return to the village that she had cursed and with her sire, started to wipe it out in its entirety. Leaving just her father for last. She was cold towards him, hunting him and then letting him feel the intensity of an uncontrolled storm in his hut as his exits were blocked. Tempest, after finishing unleashing her psychic wrath upon the man would end him, draining him dry to leave as a husk in his own home.
Tempest and her Sire would leave, her sire who had control over the deadly element fire, set the village ablaze so that nothing would remain and it would fade in time- and fade it did.
From 1030 AD to 1291 AD, Tempest roamed with her Sire, learning from him and other ways to fight and survive. How to hide and protect herself from those that would go on witch hunts for those that were different but she never lost the old ways she was taught and still prayed to the old gods of hers. A part of her was sad when the Viking reign came to an end, it was a somber day for her and she spent the evening in silence for it.
1292-1517 AD. This era grew to be one she loved. She grew to love to live more and explore the time and fashion. She was growing more vibrant with the years and used her stormy abilities less during this era but she would learn that she had to relearn how to control storms again. For her it was a time to be free and explore- to her Sire’s dismay who wanted her to just be safe as they didn’t get to this age easily and he didn’t want to see her colorful light snuffed because of carelessness. So far, they managed well to stay safe and away from the religious crusaders that enjoyed hunting down their kind.
1518-1600 AD. During this era, Tempest spent a fair amount of time in Romania at her Sires’ pleadings because he feared how things were in Europe. For many years they stayed and lived there, quietly roaming from abandoned castle to castle, leaving when rumors started to float around. Tempest though, as any angsty vampire teen, grew restless. She decided enough was enough and took her leave of her sire for the first time since she met him all those years ago. Now, she was traveling carefully by her own means. When she went by ship, she rented out a cabin and would black out the room and lock it securely so that she would be able to visit different countries and explore other cultures to learn their languages but even then, she missed her sire deeply, regretting leaving him but she knew he would give her the space she wanted.
1600-1800AD This time period she managed to make it to the more tropical side of things. She loved it, the lighter clothes, the better weather- she hates the bugs though with a passion. For the first fifty years she spent time in what is now Cuba, enjoying the people and vibrancy there. From there, she traveled to the other tropical islands on the chain, spending at least fifty years each there, giving fake last names each place she went.
Roughly in the year 1722, she was on a rather popular pirate island, she wound up bumping into a young pirate lad(young to her)who had the rude audacity to insult her appearance due to her eyes! This rather ridiculous human pirate, Monty would get the beating of his life by the shieldmaiden- just because the Vikings were no more did not mean the woman lost any of her strength and skills. Tempest would end up beating him within an inch of his life, debating on tossing him in the ocean but something inside her said 'no'. She believed it was her gods so instead, she gave him the means to heal and would leave him on the docks healing but now with a possible gift if he managed to not die before the first new moon of this month. It was wishful thinking as she kept an eye on the young man who ended up in a fight which would cost him his life.
Tempest, unhappily, would become a parent when she had been happy to believe that she never would have that but this pirate man surely tried her patience. Over and over while he healed and woke, she scolded him and what happened, swearing in a few languages old and new. When he woke he would find himself in a room with her and being cleaned up while she told him what could become of him and what would happen should he not drink from the cup she had laid out for him. She left it up to him and was pleased when he did, after learning he would just drop dead as a doornail in a short weeks time, if he didn't. So would begin the strange relationship between the new pirate and one of old times past
1722-2000; Between roughly these years she would teach her child, least she called him that often enough. They both were prone to irritating each other but she never abandoned him. She did give him spae unlike her sire had done but she always made sure he knew where she was or what country she might be in should he need her but she was never far- like her own Sire. In the 1900's she saw him again, joy flicked back onto her face as she hugged the man who helped make her what she was and he was proud of her! Even though she had made mistakes, he was proud of her and that he saved her. Tempest would always be grateful to this man, this strange traveler that overheard a plot one night to kill her and then turned the tides and now she too was a sire. He laughed at that, having watched the odd pair from afar but proud she didn't drown him with the rainstorms she conjured over his head.
2000-2019. These years she would move to Canada, living and growing her own person repetiteur of being a well-known historian on all things Vikings and the like. She chose there because it was a decent location of a collage and she could easily add to her growing wealth and when she had amassed a decent amount, she would call her young prodigy to come with her- wherever he was, with her or away but she felt he needed to stick a little closer as times were rapidly changing and she knew that could mean danger. Before a clutch never sounded good to her but now with the outing of their kind on such a public level, she felt it was time to search and hunt for one.
2020+ Now, she resides in Colorado. Living in a rather vast estate she had being built while she packed up and moved locations, giving plenty of space for herself and her pupil and any other wayward soul that might need a home.
Tempest lived in Colorado for a year with her son, Monty. They shared many memories together, joined a clutch, and Tempest befriended many were's over vampires. She found herself having feelings for a psychic even, accidentally turning him in the process of helping him. Due to her love for her family and her temper, she passed at the hands of her former leader to protect those that she loved.
