Description

Name: Lucy Westenra
Age: 127
Species: Vampire
Potential Voice: Rebecca Shoichet - Sunset Shimmer (MLP: EG)
Bio: The closest thing to nobility on the other side of the Mythgate. Though it is told in Bram Stoker's novel that Lucy Westenra met her end in the late 19th century when the monstrous Dracula took away her humanity and her fiance, Arthur Holmwood and famous monster hunter, Abraham Van Helsing, were forced to drive a wooden stake through her heart to save her soul, the events that actually occurred were far different than what was recorded. In reality, while Lucy Westenra was indeed human at first and engaged to Holmwood, it was actually an arranged marriage that was part of a deal between her father and Lord Godalming, a deal that she did not wish to be a part of. So one night, she attempted to flee her old lifestyle with as much money as she could and create a new life somewhere else, however just after she entered the woods at the edge of her hometown, she came across a hooded figure draining the blood from a dead horse's neck. Understandably scared at first, Lucy wanted to run for her life, however, the figure blocked her path with speed unheard of from any human, allowing figure's hood to fall back. Once his hood was pulled down, Lucy saw the pale face of the most handsome man she had ever seen, a man with blood-red eyes, dark hair and two fangs poking out from his pearly whites. It was then that the figure introduced himself as Vladimir Dracula, the reclusive Count of Carfax Abbey, whom Lucy had heard tales of from the townsfolk but never actually seen, after making her promise to forget what she had seen, Dracula allowed her to leave unharmed, though not without both of them leaving a lasting impression on each other. After that, Lucy spent the next few months travelling the country, moving from place to place all the while having the feeling that a certain someone was shadowing her every step of the way, eventually said person was caught in the act and Lucy was able to see Dracula again. Demanding a reason as to why he was stalking her, Dracula admits that he had become interested in Lucy, and entrusted by her beauty, though suspicious at first, her curiosity eventually overtook her fear and Lucy eventually decided to give the pale man a chance. After that, Lucy learnt all about Dracula's vampiric nature, and how human beliefs had perverted it into something that made his kind seem like the creations of hell, specifically, while it is true that he needs blood to survive once every month, whilst also allowing them their superior strength and speed, vampires only drink animal blood due to personal morals and the fact that vampire venom unintentionally turns humans into vampires themselves. Also despite the belief that the sun, holy water and garlic were weaknesses for his kind, all of that knowledge is nothing more than fabrication made up by human extremists, all of them based of a certain trait they had, namely their skin's extreme sensitivity to sunlight, and their powerful sense of smell. Over time the two grew closer and closer as friends, and eventually lovers, after a single year the two were wed and by Lucy's own choice, Dracula made her one of his own kind with a single bite to the neck so that they could both live the rest of their lives together. However their happiness was not to last, after finally tracking them down, Holmwood and Van Helsing broke into their home and attempted to stake Dracula and Lucy through the heart while the two lovers slept. Luckily Dracula was able to wake up in time and fought the two humans off, allowing Lucy to escape before Van Helsing cut off Dracula's head with an iron sword. Since then Lucy was forced to wonder the country by herself, lurking in the shadows to avoid anyone who may bring her harm, worse still after a few years had past, she was horrified to see a book on display with a fabricated story of how she died at the hands of her husband before Van Helsing "Heroically" aided in his vanquishing. Furious at this insult to her lover's memory, Lucy tracked the author down, got whatever info she could get and broke his neck, hoping to track down the real monster who took her life away from her. However, this turned out to be in vain since Van Helsing had already established a secret society of Monster Hunters that eventually became part of the present day Mythical Task Force. With nowhere left to turn, Lucy went back into hiding and had remained out of human society for as long as she could, hoping for the chance to one day bring Van Helsing and his family down. After almost 30 years after the Mythgate was built, Lucy was finally caught after seducing and bedding a human bar-tender for her own drunken amusement and she was banished to the other side. After the other Mythicals found out about who she was, Lucy became an instant celebrity and her status among the townspeople skyrocketed, so much so that she lives like royalty due to the compensations everyone gave her upon her arrival and her knowledge on how to invest in them wisely after learning to do so from modern humans. Of course, not everything was easy for Lucy after she came to Mythgate city, as it turned out when she was banished, Lucy was also pregnant with a half-human child due to her one-night stand with the bartender, which disgusted her since it only reminded her of her own weaknesses. However, despite this, she still loves her daughter very much and always tries to do right by her, even if she shamefully feels like her daughter was the reason that she developed a dislike for hybrids, much like her daughter's best friend, Noah.

Name: Cici Westenra
Age: 12
Species: Dhampir
Potential Voice: Felicia Day - Cynder (Skylanders Academy)
Bio: One of the few Mythicals in Mythgate City that is half-human. Much like many children who were born on the other side of the Mythgate, Cici had never once seen the homeland of her mother, however unlike most children her age, she is one of the few who is glad never to have seen it due to the stories of human cruelty that her mother had always told her about ever since she could remember. In fact, the very mention of the human world would upset her mother so much that she literally claws deep scratches into the walls in anger, so for the respect of her mother and herself, Cici tries her best to avoid the subject altogether if she can help it. Though her mother may have never told her of her half-human heritage, Cici had always noticed a lack of ability that made her differ from other vampires, such as her sense of smell being weaker and her sensitivity to light being lessened, allowing her to stay outdoors for much longer than her mother ever could. Being born into somewhat of a higher status than most children due to her mother's fame among the other Mythicals, Cici had always been somewhat of a social outcast, with other kids her age being intimidated by her and not even having the courage to say hello, however, this all changed when she bumped into Noah LaBeouf, one of the hybrid children that attended the same class of preschool that she did. With him not being intimidated in the slightest and her being intrigued by him being half lizard and half plant, both Cici and Noah quickly became good friends and continued to be so right into their pre-teen years. Of course due to her mother's odd dislike for hybrids, Cici always had to watch her step whenever she invited Noah over to her house to play video games and/or do their homework, though for the most part Cici's mother never did more than just complain about her friend's presence, so she doesn't really think much of it.

Fun fact: In the original book, being out in the sun doesn't kill vampires. It just causes them to lose their powers.

That said, Cici seems like a nice kid.
