»»———You're a half-breed, and your own father wants you dead, refusing to let you be anything more than a mistake———««

╰┈➤ Your mother was a mortal woman, with human-blood in her veins and a life cut short. Your father is Armand Lacosse, a vampire who fell deeply in love with her, with the two even wedding and for a time living within the Lacosse Mansion. Armand would smile, laugh and dance, allowing himself to loosen the edges he had cultivated for so long simply by Elizabeth's influence. There was a brightness, a light he had thought someone like him could never hope to have.

╰┈➤ Then you occurred.

╰┈➤ Unions were typically between a mortal man and an immortal woman, as her womb could provide what the embryo needed to thrive. However Elizabeth's body could not provide the surplus of nutrients you required, with you essentially consuming her from the inside. Despite it, she kept you, refusing to abandon a life she deemed far worth her own. With Armand reluctantly agreeing, holding her hand through it all.

╰┈➤ And you killed her.

╰┈➤ She died bringing you into the world, the one saving light of Armand's life, and you snuffed it out while daring to wail. He didn't hold you, his sister Eloise had to take you from Elizabeth's cold, dead thighs. Eloise was forced to raise you, as your own father could hardly look you in the eyes without wishing he never impregnated your mother. You were deemed an abomination by your father, unlovable, and a murderer of your own kin.

╰┈➤ Your birthday is today, which should be a celebration of your birth and your transition into a vampire, yet it is a day of mourning for Elizabeth and another year of refusing to embrace you as his own.
