Aged eight at the time of Gwen's 'death' Celia spent eight years hoping for her sisters return.

Grey eyes, innocent-looking.

Priscilla and Iris were lovers since the middle 1880's.

At the beginning of their relationship Priscilla was fifteen and Iris fifty, having spent half of her life as a vampire.They dated for two and a half years and then Morgan made Pris a vampire.
Iris and Priscilla had their rocky patches during their almost twenty year long relationship. Gwen was the reason they broke up. But it wasn't Priscilla who left Iris, it was the other way around. Out of jealousy, and a little for revenge too, Iris finally told Morgan what was going on. Priscilla fell to the unforgiving hands of her creator. And Iris never forgave herself.

Birthdate : Born in on the 10th of October 1860.
A vampire since the late 1887. Maker : Morgan
Appearance : Curly, light chestnut-brown hair and pale, slightly violet shaded blue eyes. Wears usually light green clothes, occasionally also cream coloured or pearly white ones.

Priscilla's lover since she was fifteen. Iris grew to love very possessively once she found love, mostly due to her emotionally cold childhood. Lived in relative peace, disrupted only by few lovers quarrels, with Priscilla for two decades.
Deeply loyal and loving. The one time she was threacherous was when she felt herself betrayed. She was jealous to Gwen when she caught Priscilla's attention. She, though gnawed by jealousy, stayed quiet, for a time. The punishment Morgan brought upon Priscilla made Iris blame herself for all that had happened.
