A B I L I T YxxxPathokinesis; Nadine can sense the feelings of others and alter them according to her will. With it, she can resolve a tense situation peacefully and make people coexist more easily. It can also be used to enlighten someone's mood, very useful in resolving conflict. She can also detect hostility and use it to her advantage.

Her power is not only useful in humans and vampires alone, she can also influence werewolves and witches but it takes more concentration and the effects are not as powerful. Her powers physically change emotions: they manipulate endorphins, adrenaline and pheromones instead of providing a false alarm to the mind. With practice, there is a possibility that she can overload her targets with emotions in an offensive manner, such as inducing overwhelming fear in the target until they suffer from cardiac arrest.

Nadine's ability is limited - the emotion she creates can only last for as long as she is around; when she is no longer present, the influence wears off almost immediately. And by receiving intense emotions from a crowd, it is possible to be overwhelmed.

P E R S O N A L I T YxxxQuiet, independent and alluring, Nadine is the walking (but practically dead) version of the phrase 'don't judge a book by it's cover'. Outside she looks innocent and harmless but as a vampire, she is a vicious killer and an obsessive predator. She's crazy but not irrational: she's a genius at what she does. She's charismatic, easily manipulating people with or without her powers. She's merciless, intense and conflicting. Everything she does, she does for a reason, nothing is a coincidence when it comes to her.

Nadine is well known in the vampire community for her - literally - killer reputation. No one dares to disrespect her, because even though she's often underestimated, she quickly proves everyone wrong.

She does have a compassionate side when it comes to caring for those she loves. She hardly opens up to people but when she does she pours it all out and clings to that person no matter what. But once someone breaks her bond of trust, they'd be better off dead.




H I S T O R YxxxBorn at the cusp of the XIX century in Paris, France, Nadine was lucky enough to be part of a largely wealthy family of French businessmen. As a child she never struggled for food, and always had everything delivered to her in a silver platter. But ever since she was young, she had shown extremely fascinating but bizarre likings. She enjoyed watching animals die and people suffer, which only made her poor parents worry more.

Over the years, Nadine grew into a lovely woman - still slightly twisted, but more composed, and married a French man, owner of a big bank in the city. But after her 20th birthday, her whole life changed. A vampire attacked her family, killing everyone she had grown to love and care for, even her husband. Strangely enough the vampire spared her life and made a deal with her: if she acted as bait to lure out a coven of witches just outside of Niece, he would turn her into one of his species, gifting her the immortal life.

She accepted.

Not much is known about Nadine's first years as a vampire as she refuses to open up about most of her past life, but after years of looking for somewhere to settle she found Cherry Blossom and finally decided to stay put. The rest is history.

Lilly Smith

The moon was just coming up, you couldn't see it just yet but Lilly could feel it. It wasn't quite a full moon but it was close. She spent all day training, she didn't want to be bothered today. For her it was the anniversary of her brothers never speaking to her kindly again. For other werewolves it was the same, families broken to shreds, friendships shattered. For the vampires it was a semi-glorious day, with the packs on the cusp of war they had opportunities to invade the town. For the humans it was just another day.

Taking a break from her running she sat at the edge of a small creek and watched the fish swim by. She let her mind go blank, something she never does. It was nice to have a few minutes without a care int he world. Lucky fish. You only have to worry about not dying and reproducing With a heavy sigh she stood, whipped off her jean shorts and began running her way pack to the pack house.

Not only was this a sad day but a happy one. She had become Alpha on this day and she worked hard for it. It was a time for grief and celebration. She ran faster, her breathing not affected at all. She wasn't much for celebration but some of the pack members came up with the idea and she didn't want to be a downer. She made it to the pack house and there was music already playing. More people had shown up than she thought, she slowed to a stop and walked the rest of the way to the door. Before she could open it Hanna, an omega, opened the door with a huge smile. "The guest of honor has arrived!" the girl yelled over the music causing everyone to yell in return. She was already regretting this.

Vivian Greenwood
In her usual spot, at the only diner in town. Anyone who worked there pretty much knew her, knew what she was going to order, and knew when she would come in. They pretty much knew her routine, so much so that that night her order was already at her usual table. She turned to the waitress behind the counter and smiled, "I had to make a darling couple move tables to make room for ya, sweetheart." The woman said in a southern accent. Vivian had known the woman since she arrived in town, she half expected her accent to be gone by now but she grew to enjoy it. She sat the booth and scooted close to the window so she was sitting diagonally and pulled out her book she recently bought from the bookstore.

She opened the book and took out the marker setting it on the table and began reading. She didn't bother touching her food and no one bothered asking her if she still wanted it. She would spend so long reading before she even touched her food. Once she sat there for exactly 4 hours and twenty-five minutes just reading, her food untouched, the waitresses had made a bet to see how long it would take her to even look at the food.




Image
Julie Sinclair
Julie had slept all day, something she normally does when the sun is out. Some people would just watch tv or movies but Julie doesn't even own a tv. She doesn't like the new technology being born hundreds of years ago. The only thing 'new' that she has is a cellphone but it is the most basic phone, she only got it so she could keep in touch with the others int he coven and some friends and her boss. Tonight she had to work, she was a stripper and she was the clubs most popular dancer besides the youngest girl there because some guys are perverts. Unfortunately, the sun was still up so she would still have to wait in her apartment.

Once the sun was gone she was free to roam the town, this was one of the only bad thing about being a vampire and she hated it. She got dressed and was on her way. Normally on her way to work she dressed in normal clothes jeans and t shirts but tonight she felt a little racy so instead she wore a plain black mini dress and heels. She liked to stir up trouble in town especially with the women who hated her and what she did for a living, it was her daily joy in life besides murdering witches and drinking from humans.

She got to work, late which her boss wasn't happy about but she didn't care. He didn't yell at her like he would have done with the other girl because she was not the type to take his shit plus she was popular so she got a little more leeway. She made her way to the dressing room waving hello to the bartender and a few of her work friends. The club was packed tonight which was nice for her and the girls. She liked when it was packed, about half her customers wanted private dances and that was when she would drink from them. She didn't kill them because that would give her away but some have had to go to the hospital from her drinking a little too much.

Coffee was Nadine's second favorite flavor - right below blood, of course. The bitter but sugary liquid was a delight for her taste buds even though she practically didn't need to drink it at all. Vampires survived without human food as long as they had a healthy blood diet, but Nadine liked spoiling herself with things she didn't need. And today was one of those days.

As usual, she sat at the far corner of Cherry Blossom's coffee shop, peacefully sipping her coffee and scouting out the place. She had been craving fresh blood for a while, blood bags weren't enough for her sometimes, and had decided to go out that day hoping to find a naΓ―ve human, innocent enough to let themselves get seduced by her and then drank from.

Too lost in her thoughts, Nadine had missed the young handsome man who entered the coffee shop at first. But after focusing on finding her prey of the night again, she located the man and smirked deviously. β€œ Bingo, ” she called under her breath. Standing up from her isolated seat, she made her way towards the distracted man and pretended to crash into his shoulder, splashing coffee all over his white shirt. She knew it was a clichΓ© move, but it never failed to work.

β€œ Oh my god, I'm so sorry, I'm such a clutz! ” she said, hurriedly picking up some napkins from the table next to them and patting the stain on the man's shirt to try to dry it. The man was angry at first, but when he took a good look at Nadine, he clearly calmed down. Her vampiric beauty always amazed humans, so she got away with doing a lot of things because of her looks.

β€œ No, no, it's okay. It's my fault, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, ” he said, also helping Nadine with patting down his coffee stained shirt. After they managed to somewhat dry the stain, the man stretched his hand out to Nadine and introduced himself. β€œ My name is Will, Will Byers, and you are? ”

β€œ Nadine, Nadine Dubois, ” she answered back, shaking the man's hand gently and throwing a flirty smile his way. β€œ You're not from around here, are you? ” Will asked.

β€œ Oh, I was born and raised in France but I've been living here for quite a while now ” 47 years to be exact, she thought. β€œ It's just that - I've never seen you around. But trust me, now you've made an unforgettable first impression, ” Will said chuckling.

Nadine pretended to blush, looking downwards and covering her face with her hair. Oh, he was so going down. She threw in a feminine giggle and looked up again, β€œ Well, at least let me buy you coffee to make it up to you, ” she said, gesturing to his messy shirt.

β€œ Yeah, I'd love that, ” he said.

Got'cha.

Humans... You can tell them that they can do anything, and yet, they won't know what to do. But tell them what they can't do, and you'll know what they want to do (and probably end up trying to do anyway - Yoda advice ignored well). Somehow though at the end of the day, through all the mess and trails of humanity, most tended to remain decent human beings. He'd be damned if he knew how. But then, he'd be damned regardless. He was a monster after-all. "Hey! Deep thoughts much?" Nathaniel halted his forward momentum; blinking in mock surprise as he hauled himself out of the inner winding thought process that his mind often went to after nearly two centuries of 'unlife'; and offered his current company a genuinely sheepish grin. "My apologies," He hummed lightly, apologetic. Pausing as he observed the woman, a young and mousy thing, with an air of renewed interest. Her name was Carrie if he remembered correctly, and was a nurse at the hospital where he now worked; and had offered her time, company, and conversation towards a 'new' stranger (and rather dangerous one at times) on the walk outside towards the parking lot after their shift had ended --- at night, within a town like Cherry Blossom with an unspoken rule of preferably not doing such alone or with the company of someone you barely knew. Ahh, humanity... ”It's just been a long day, Carrie 'dear. I do tend to get in my head, and let autopilot run when exhausted.” Well it was not entirely true, as a vampire, a well-fed and uninjured one, wouldn't ever truly be exhausted; but for the sake of role-playing as a newly junior medical staff that had been jumped from interview right into a full strenuous work-week, exhaustion would be perfectly understandable of the human condition. Carrie nodded in agreement, before responding in return with a chuckle on her lips, "Oh! Well, good then, for a minute I figured you thought my hospital stories were lackluster.” "Never, never." "Hah, smooth, thanks... Well, I guess you probably need (and want) to get back home for the evening?" "That'd probably be best, but first, ahh… Two blocks north from here, and then a right turn on main – lovely little coffee shop that has respectable tea, yes?" "Wow, yes, spot on memory... I'll see you around the hospital then?" "Yes, G'night." "Good night, and be careful!" And with that final statement, Carrie gave him a small wave farewell, before turning and leaving to walk towards her car in the far lot – straight backed, painfully weary of her surroundings, clutching her purse and keys a little tighter. Nathaniel waited, watching silently as she departed south and while it was nigh the perfect opportunity for a β€˜snack’, he didn’t budge: For one he was well fed to begin with; next, she was nice enough human, did her job well, and had a family to take care of; and third, why it would be terribly rude to poach a coworker after only a week in their presence. It wasn’t long of a wait, however, before he lost easy sight of her distant figure with the shoddy lights of the parking lot, and could turn about on his own heel away from the β€˜common courtesy’ of making sure she got almost to her car safely and headed towards his own waiting bike. The bike wasn't anything special or exceedingly expensive, but it had worked to get him from point A to B while blending in (or using a vampire's swiftness and endurance was unnecessary). Unzipping his jacket, he dug into the pocket of his scrub-top to pull out his pair of keys, sticking them in the ignition and after a momentarily coughing roar, the bike began a gentle purr as the engine warmed and ran. He gave a passing cautious glance over his surroundings, taking a deep breath and did not find anything strongly apparent but the staleness of furry, wet dog (or werewolf), humans of course in abundance, and mostly strongly the gas and oil rumbling beneath him as he sat down upon the cycle; before sliding the helmet down on his head, kicking up the stand, and rumbling the bike to a slow even start – out of the parking lot, down two blocks before a right turn on main (not that he'd really needed those directions from darling Carrie, having been there a time or two on the occasion he'd given Elisabeth a ride the or had picked her up after her shift, or had been dragged there by Nadine and her guilty attraction to coffee; but his bored spell that had him forging the right documents and title to acquire a job as a junior medical staff, somehow made him 'new' to the town all over again), towards the small coffee joint... Nathaniel was hardly surprised to see Nadine there already, no doubt sipping away coffee and on the prowl for something more with a handsome fool; but was wise enough (to avoid her teeth at his throat) to not verbally acknowledge her and ruin her cat-and-mouse game with the poor sap, and gave instead a polite if lingering glance instead as a 'hello' - as he made his way to the counter, ordering a small cup of an properly hot "English Breakfast" tea too "wind down."

After buying coffee for Will, her newest prey of the night, they settled down on a table right at the middle of the coffee shop. It was easy to see Will's atractive features under the warm lights inside, but Nadine couldn't stop herself from imagining his silohuette, only illuminated by the moonlight and the streetlights, hunched over as she drank from his neck. It was a gory image but Nadine was a gory girl.

Talking to Will and having him try to make small talk with her was absolutely ridiculous and boring, and for a moment Nadine considered sparing his night just because he was so damn boring. If he could just shut up and let me admire his physique, she thought. But the guy was way too keen to chat her up and from the waves of emotions she was getting from him, she could clearly read he was horny and hopeful. Yuck.

But before things got too unbearable, Nadine spotted none other than Nathaniel sitting right across from their table. He only gave her a slight nod and nothing else but that didn't stop her mood from brightening. With newfound confidence, she was able to convince Will to 'walk her to her car' after they'd finished their coffee. And not long after coming across a dark spot on the sidewalk, away from the coffee shop's entrance, she launched for his neck.

With the help of her pathokinesis, she was able to induce happy emotions on him, giving Will the feeling of being almost drugged up. And after dragging him into an alley, she could finally drink from his neck without a hurry. She wasn't in the mood for a kill today, so she decided to stop after a few minutes of non-stop drinking and leave him passed out in the alley. She'd done this a thousand times, and she knew well that after waking up from their induced sleep, those humans always thought they'd passed out from drinking too much or from tiredness, so she wasn't careful to hide her evidence. She truly never was on these improvised occasions.

Cleaning the blood from her mouth with the back of her hand, and making sure her clothes weren't bloody, she made her way back inside the coffee shop without a hurry, now sitting down in front of Nathaniel and taking a sip from his hot English Breakfast tea. β€œ Drive me home, will you? I came here by foot. ”

β€œOrder for William, hot English Breakfast tea.” Nathaniel had not ever bothered to offer his true name to any of the coffee shop employers (save Elizabeth of course), to selfishly save himself from the butchering that it would no doubt entail; but it wasn’t like very many ordered Tea from a coffee shop anyway, so the order came out timely and with β€˜his name’ attached instead of a number on the receipt. He rose from the table, conveniently across from Nadine who met his glance again briefly bright and warm before shifting to cunning as she got her prey for the evening out and moving out the door with the other Will, giving her a short nod on his way up to the counter. Offering the waitress a small, genuine smile of gratitude, he hummed softly, β€œLovely, Thank you.” β€œMy pleasure.” Nathaniel passed briefly besides the condiment table, as it never hurt to add a rare amount of cream and sugar into one’s tea occasionally, before settling back down at the table he’d previously occupied; drinking his tea, making himself busy idly flicking through the newspaper of the week haphazardly stacked on the table with apparent (if technically lack-luster) interest as he waited… It wasn’t long wait before her familiar scent, though a little stronger with blood taint (without death accompanying it however, having left her prey unconscious or drunk off his own empathy), wound around his senses again as her fingers slipped through his to pry away his cup of tea from his loose fingers as she smoothly sat down in front of him and took a sip. β€œDrive me home, will you? I came here by foot.” Nathaniel tsked lightly under-breath at her admission. It was not necessarily disapprovingly (which Nadine would easily understand) but more than enough offered for the causal eavesdropping potential provided from other guests of the coffee shop – whom clearly noted her confident departure with that handsome man (foolish and human of course, but still more of a man than the charming but definite boyishness he possessed certainly) not long before hand, before her unhurried return and sliding unto the other side of his table, drinking his tea, and making conversation as if nothing had happened previously. Putting down the newspaper section he’d been observing in disinterest, he stretched forward with the smallest of frowns barely gracing his lips as he wound his fingers between her own and rescued the tea. β€œOf course,” Nathaniel mused, enjoying the pause in taking a sip from his recovered cup of tea before he continued, β€œIf you’re full of the night already that is?” It was an honest question, as he did not mind taking her home in the slightest; but even well-fed so early along in the evening, he’d known her long enough to doubt she was ready nor willing to go back right away at that moment. But, of course, it would be up to her.
