Some TW backstory content
Born in 1902 in the lovely country of England to a middle class family and has an older brother named Ceri Evans
+Growing up she was taught the violin, embroidering, dancing, cooking, reading, and other various forms of literature.
+Often she would happily listen to her brother as he composed, even adding in her own violin chords to it when he found a spot for it to fit. She enjoyed being able to play with him growing up.
1915
+When Ceri was drafted for the war, Arabella was only 13 years old. She sent him off and promised to write to him all the time while he was away.
+During this time, she grew even more experienced in her embroidering. She was able to make intricately delicate pieces and started to pull inspiration and techniques from other cultures so that she could improve further.
1916
+At 14, she was starting to sell some pieces with the help of her parents. While Ceri was off in the war, she had started to make him a handkerchief for him to have when he got him.
1917
+ When Ceri returned from the war injured, she had nearly forgotten about it as he was living back home while he recovered.
1918-1923
+ Arabella would stay mostly at home, continuing her craft and the love of her art form. At eighteen, she would start to meet with suitors to marry but none seemed to stand up to either her standards or her families; both were rather plausible. At the age of 20 though, she entered in a courtship with a wealthy gentleman of the name James and they would start the process of courting and getting to know one another. She was slowly falling in love with him, her family welcoming him as he held no ill intent and like that she was a little independent but also still relied on her family.
1923
+During a rather strange evening, she was working in the main living space on a small pouch when her brother walked in. He looked different to her and out of her natural concern went to him. It was a dark panicked moment during that moment but it was someone she loved, someone she cared for, so instantly her mind blocked it out and didn't even register the blood that was given to her before darkness claimed her and what she believed was her death.
+When she awoke, Arabella found herself buried alive and the time would be the next evening. It was terrifying and she felt a desperate hunger that she didn't know how to handle or take care of. Clawing and digging herself free she would emerge from the family graveyard to find her home burned to the ground in nothing but ash and rubble.
+ Terrified, she couldn't find anyone so she went to James who was relieved to find her alive but he had no idea what happened. It was presumed that her family all burnt to death in the fire. Still loving her, he took to taking her in and helping her heal, Arabella locking away the memory for her own mental sake of the truth of what happened.
+When the next New Moon arose though, she would find herself waking with a clawing hunger and with the memory faded from her mind mostly, she had turned to the only source of warm blood around and that was her beloved James.
1923-1925
+The next two years were spent with her running away and feeding whenever she had the chance. Her time was mostly spent in a near-constant panicked/blood-lusting state until a vampire all the way in Scotland found and nearly ashed her until he saw her state. Ewan would take mercy on the young woman who was obviously confused and terrified of her new life and with no one to guide her truly knew no better; her only luck had been her constantly running and moving to keep from being found and managed to sleep in dark basements before the sun rose.
1925-2000
+Arabella would spend the next 75 years as his adopted fledgling. With him, she learned how to control herself and feed properly. How to clean the minds but also learning that she had the ability to manipulate water and ice. It was a spectacular ability in her mind, she was diligent in her practices, Ewan growing proud of her and how she fit in well with the tiny clutch in Scotland. They had become her family and helped to start her healing from whatever trauma had happened to her that her mind completely refused to touch.
2000-2019
+During these years, she would travel back to her old home with Ewan by her side. Why she went, she had no real idea but it was a draw to her. The area was changed of course but the cemitary remained untouched and she found the spot where she had been buried. Why had she been buried and not burnt in the house? Slowly, questions started to form, even more so when she found the handkerchief that she had been working on of a nightingale for her brother. Taking it, she would fix it and even finish it.
2020-Present
It would be during this time that Ewan started to press her to remember more, trying to get her to pull back together the pieces of her broken memory but instead it caused her to panic. With her abilities now, she was able to block him in an ice wall and she ran and hopped ships to travel all the way to the U.S.
+She would spend the time just moving and traveling, using her skills to earn some sort of money to be able to live but she refused to use the credit cards that she had so that Ewan couldn't find and press her to remember more. Eventually, she would settle in Colorado and take to living in a very tiny apartment where she tried to work and block out her past.
