Constance Estelle Lamotte has never been, nor will she ever be a girl who belongs to the current generation, even when she was a child. She was and still is a searcher, and a seeker of the truth in the world, and to find her own truth from within herself with time. It has taken her forever come to the level of understanding of herself that she is at right now, and even though she likes to believe that she has a clear and compelling sense of herself. She knows she's only eighteen and there is more about herself than she has yet to learn. And as a result of this outlook on life, she has devoted parts of her life to continue to find out more about her, her family, and the world around her as a whole. Some around her believe she is nothing more than a pretty, yet terrifying face, a woman who just likes to be the center of attention who acts deep and poetic in order to seem better than those around her. And, part of it is true. She does believe that compared to mortals, half-bloods, and even other witches, she is better. Why? Because she's Constance. Is she condescending because of it? You could say that and she'd agree. She's always held herself to this level, even as a child before entering the academy.

Perhaps it's from being praised by her parents from birth as she possessed a finely tuned mind and an analytical way of thinking through her life, being capable of great concentration when it comes to her magic and studies, the one thing she has always shown passion for. This is one thing she knows she is amazing at because of who her family is. She knows she meant to do great things in the world with her magic and while she knows she will never go down the path of her father. She knows she desires to be regarded as one of the greatest witches of their time just like her parents. And nothing or no one will keep her from believing that or making that happen. Not a classmate, a lover, or even a family member (clearly). Without stating, she's pretty intense to a level most seem unable to handle which is the reason behind her only have a few close friends. But, she's always been seen as the weird one even before starting at the academy and she prides herself on being a non-conformist from her personality to the magic she chose to practice. Which, she'll admit, comes off as inadvertently pretentious. However, when you are around her. She will make you listen. As she possesses one hell of a silver tongue, charming her way into any building, bed, or circle she damn well pleases.

But, with the good. There is always the bad as well and, well, let's just say, Constance has more than her fair share. While she is romantic (when she chooses to be) and charismatic, she's manipulative. Using her charm to her advantage whenever given the chance if it'll help her obtain her end goal while also making you crawl in your skin. It's fun for her. To get into peoples' mind, under their skin, and just overall make them squirm. Therefore, they become off-balanced, start to doubt themselves and their abilities and then BAM! Constance goes in for the kill and this can go on for a while as she truly believes in playing the long game. This can be another from picking into their past to just teasing people playfully until they snap. While she's highly intelligent, she can be ruthless, vicious, and even machiavellianistic and an opportunist. Using whoever she needs to in order to get where she wants in the world with only a small number of people being exempt from this.

They have earned her loyalty and her trust which is a marvelous thing since when Constance decides to show her bad side. Close to no one is safe both figuratively and sometimes literally as she does have a fixation towards revenge for those who wrong her or if someone comes to her asking for her... assistance in the issue. Seeing that she is a big believer in balancing the scales, keeping everything nice and tidy. Even if deep down, she knows she just helping create a little bit of chaos. But, hey their not her enemies (usually). But, their one thing worst than those stated above and that is her detachment from others around her because of what has happened to her, she finds it difficult to relate to the emotions of everyone around her usually only really caring about the small group of people she holds dear to her. Which has started the rumor that she's a sociopath, but she isn't. Ever since becoming the last in her bloodline, she has just felt as if a piece of her is missing. Which she can't really explain and doesn't really choose to think about it as that'll lead to doubt and doubt leads to weakness.

And once you are able to get past all of that, 'Connie' as she sadly is called can be a surprisingly fun young lady to be around. She can be the life of a party when she actually chooses to be. She's a charismatic gal when open to others, always want to display her unbeatable wit and sharp silver tongue. And of course, showing off her magic. As most people are interested in it as much as they're hesitant about it. What can she say? Her magic, any magic. Creates this rush of it all just delivers this thrill through her body that no drug or cocktail could ever compare to. Plus, she loves the attention of showing it off while also showing people that the dark art, while different aren't inherently evil. She isn't an evil person who wants to take over the world and then all of Hell. She just likes to be on top while pissing people off. But, like the majority of people in the world, Constance does have definite limits with her socializing. While great in social situations, she is keenly aware of the need to "come off of the stage" more than most people expect and return to her solitude in order to not drain herself while also returning to her studies without interruptions. Hey, if she wants to truly be the best that means closing herself off to focus. with only a distinct few who are aware that they can come to her at any time without her pushing or shoo them away.

Constance's life, from an outsider looking in, would seem less than ideal but, for the young witch, it was perfect. From both sides of her lineage, depending on who you asked they either tell you she'd be destined to become just like the 'rest of them' or that she was destined for greatness. Dominique Leveau, a descendant of the voodoo queen, Marie Laveau and handsome stranger who found his way into New Orleans. Her mother had known of the young man's reputation, most people did especially in their world. Damien Lamotte, the new high priest of the church of Iscariot after their former one had been found dead in his bed with a black ooze coming out of his body. Damien, along with the rest of his family, has always been a little infamous for being a tad bit nefarious. Seeing that for as far back as they can go on their family tree, the Lamottes have been masters of their craft, masters of the dark arts and known for either intentionally or "conveniently" being put in charge in several roles throughout the witch world.

As time progressed, Damien earned his stripes in the eyes of the Anti-Pope, the Council, and even Satan himself. He continued the legacy created before them to be feared but immensely respected. Even Dominique started getting engulfed in the world to the chagrin of most of her family, who otherwise stayed out of politics and chose to be left alone. Making them soon disown her. After close to 25 years together, the final piece in their puzzle and that was a beautiful baby girl named Constance Estelle. She was their pride and joy, especially Damien who saw her as his spitting image, the perfect offspring, his perfect like hellfire and this idea only grew as she got older. As she was brought up in the dark arts, taught by one of the best of their time. Constantly being told that one day she will come close to how powerful the men before her were. From a young age, she showed a level of skill Damien had to praise. She was perfect to him and he vowed to never have another child because of it. He believed that no one could beat her and he refused to give another child that chance of taking over what he saw as hers.

But, don't be fooled just because of how she was brought up doesn't mean her childhood was any different than anyone else's. Her family, while eccentric was normal to her. She didn't know any other way, she was used to the long conjuring sessions, she was used to her father lecturing her about how to master her power and find her perfect craft, how to get in the minds of others and uses their fears to break them, and of course, stories on his exploits. She was used to the looks they received whenever they went into town or how she was homeschooled most of her childhood because no one else 'understood' her. Her mother had to beg her husband to allow Constance to attend the Academy of the Unseen Arts when she was finally old enough, telling him that the social interaction would do her some good and against his best wishes, Dominique sent Constance away not only to the school but, to a new church that was not their own. During her first year at only 12 years old, she was not only toughened up after a brutal harrowing and started to fall in love with the church and the academy more than she ever thought possible but also heard several rumors. That she'd ask her mother about but would be shooed off until she was 18.

Dominique explained that the Lamottes, particularly her father was an avid master of witchcraft, yes, but used them against whoever crossed him. He had followers and a pureblood supremacy agenda for the 'betterment of their society'. She confirmed the rumor Constance had heard for years. That her father 'sold his soul to the devil' in exchange for immense power, corrupting himself to the core in order to be unbelievably powerful while doing everything he could to gain immortality. But, that part was never confirmed. This idea weighted on Constance, giving her this pride and shame while starting her on a darker past than she ever thought possible.

Over the years, it was made apparent to everyone but Constance that her parents' marriage was going up in flames, then again she could have just been in denial at the idea of her parents separating. This all came to a head when Constance was 19. She could only catch bits and pieces of the argument but, the part that made her finally listen was when her mother threatened to take 'his precious hellfire' and disappear. That was the last night she saw her mother alive as for the next morning, she was found dead hanging in a tree with a strange black ooze forming out of her mouth and several slashes all over her body. That was straw that broke the camel's back, the only person who had ever shown her true love and compassion was gone and Constance felt a hole in her heart. She returned to the academy with a new demeanor to her: that she was no longer the one to mess with.

She turned vicious and cold, turning herself into her studies in order to find a spell to either bring back her mother or put whoever did this head on a spike. The assailant was found a year later and was none other than her own uncle, her mother's brother who swore he didn't do it, that he wasn't in control of his body like a puppet on strings. Before his death, Constance went to meet with him where he confided that was controlled by his familiar, who was given to him by Damien not long before her mother was found dead. He promised her if she could bring him justice, he would trade her every last journal of his family's and her father's that were thought to be lost years ago as soon as he was absolved of any wrongdoing and took claim of High Priest. She promised. Too bad she didn't specify what she was promising. You see, she promised to bring her father to justice but, she never said she'd save her uncle. He was the one who killed her mother after, it was his hand after all. Constance couldn't let that go, plus, why would she help another man take over what was going to rightfully hers once she signed her name in the Book of the Beast? So, she waited and watched her uncle go to his death before saying a word.

She didn't even go to her father, she went directly to the Council and Father Proctor with the information that a High Priest has killed a beloved sorceress, who famously taught at the school for decades and lied to not only them but the Dark Lord himself. She promised power, respect, favors if she could prove this and death if she couldn't. With the trap set, she slipped her father a truth potion and all of his dirty little secrets came tumbling out: that he killed his predecessor in New Orleans, Constance's mother who was dead and poisoned before she was anywhere near the tree with Constance's uncle being used to make it look like a witch hunter, the Lamotte's unborn child, that he attempted to take Constance's power from her as he began seeing her as a threat, and most importantly, attempted to take his followers away from the Churches of Darkness and Satan, himself in order to become an idol in his own right. The last one was a coincidence but it was the last nail she needed for his coffin. With his secrets out, he would have killed Constance if she hadn't had the Dark Lord and the Council listening and hearing every word on how their respected and trusted confidant tried to ruin and disrespect them. He was detained and put in the Witches' Cell with the door being locked by the woman he raised. For months, she starved him, tortured him, and use every last game she was taught to break him and just when he was at his end: she took everything. His church which she laid claim to, his name, his knowledge, everything with her last words to him before he was beheaded being; "If you love the Dark Lord, go to him and pray he shows you mercy. And know that everything you held dear is now mine. That I won."

With the last part of her lineage gone, Constance no longer felt any attachment to her old life in New Orleans, so she burned their home to the ground and left their Church without a High Priest before turning the Converts in as traitors to the Dark Lord allowing over 30 members, friends who watched her grow up burn with her father and left their church for good. With her past gone, she was now able to move on with the respect of those who matter in their world because of what she was willing to sacrifice for them (it was really for her, but they don't need to know that) and start a new life in New York, completely fresh of the blood on her hands, where she was ready to finally sign her name in the Book of the Beast after long last without anyone standing in her way.
