Bio:
(This is quite long, bare with meh people! )
Adara was born in the territory now known as Romania. Her mother although not native to the region, was raised there, and had opted to live there once she’d married Adara’s father; Doc Giovanni. The Giovanni family is seen as one of the more prominent families in both the Demonic realm, and Earth. Adara herself was raised in seclusion because of the constant threat to the family through her father’s involvement with less and admirable people.
Though it had not been enough to keep them safe. A woman named Sara Giovanni, a vampire, managed to seduce Doc, turning him soon after. (This of course happened before Adara’s birth.) The situation had not improved after Adara was born, causing Adara’s mother, Morridgan to push Doc to act. She managed to convince her husband that the only way their family would survive is if this Sara woman was killed. Leaving Doc no choice but to kill her. This itself cast the family into darker times.
At the age of 1,000, Adara was allowed to train with the different martial artists of Earth, broadening her abilities and skills with each passing year. By the time she reached 2,000 years of age, Adara was a successful Vampire Hunter. She proceeded to spend the next two thousand years touring the Universe with her eldest brother, Damien, in order to again, tone her skills and become a better combatant.
The Giovanni’s biggest threat came from the Brushia Coven. (The Brushia’s King was half-brother to Sara Giovanni) At the age 4,000, Adara and her brother developed a campaign meant to finish most of the vampire population of the time. They succeeded in eliminating over half of the vampire population; and become some of the most wanted people in the Vampire world. On one of those hunts, Adara came face to face with a “young” vampire named Verheiden. Being almost 50, 000 years her senior, Adara knew she would not be able to defeat him, but, as they fought, Verheiden’s priority set to know her.
Even though Adara barely escaped that fight with her life, she continued her hunts, for she knew her family would know NO peace until all the Brushia were dead. Again, Adara encountered Verheiden, learned his name and his lineage. He was Brushia. Armed with this knowledge, Adara continued to fight the impulse to overlook his bloodline. Eventually both Verheiden and Adara abandoned the feud, although it was never made known to either of their families.
Eventually Verheiden informed Adara that he was in fact Prince to the Brushia and heir to the throne. Adara did not respond to this well, but as her feelings had already been known, she could not accept him without accepting his title. Verheiden metaphorically paraded Adara under his parent’s noses, knowing full well there was a death warrant out for Adara and her family. His parents had no clue who she was, only that she was mortal. Or so they thought. Mariana, Verheiden’s mother did not want her son to marry anything less than a pureblooded vampire.
When Mariana learned of his feelings for Adara, she set out to split them apart. She almost succeeded in turning them against one another, but failed to factor in her son’s devotion to Adara. Adara and Verheiden were married secretly within the week. But unfortunately, neither had time to savor their love and victory, for Mariana managed to find her son with Adara. Verheiden had not anticipated this, as he’d never taken Adara’s body or blood, for he knew that would link Adara to his family forever.
Mariana proceeded to attack Adara, almost killing her had Verheiden not intervened. Verheiden killed his mother as she began to strangle Adara. Verheiden sent Adara away, just as his father; Caleb arrived at the cemetery, where all this had taken place. Not knowing the circumstances that spurred his son to kill his own mother, Caleb killed his son, set out to find out who the woman his son had married in secret.
Adara remained hidden from his view, causing him to spend the next 10,000 years looking for a woman who knew not. Eventually, it came to his attention that this woman he’d sought for so long, was the same Giovanni girl who’d been slaying his kind for decades. Now armed with a name, Caleb began searching for her, finding her to be one of the wealthiest women in the world, but nearly impossible to locate.
Adara had pulled away from the vampire slaying after Verheiden’s death. She wanted to do very little in the world other than keep up pretences that she was fine. She buried herself into her work and developing off-world companies. She spent most of those 10,000 years training off world and in space. Along the way, she learned of her father’s lineage, for he’d never been an Earthling.
Eventually when Caleb found her, he kidnapped her, forcing her to live in his castle. Eventually, Adara learned of Caleb’s ignorance of what had occurred that day in the cemetery. She informed him of why Verheiden had killed his mother. Caleb relented and allowed Adara to continue carrying the name she’d married into. As she was now Brushia. Her family though, was still ignorant of her past. Her own parents never knew of the marriage to a vampire, much less to a Brushia.
When her family did find out, she was disowned, leaving her no right to visit the realm her family had acquired, and cutting her off from all she’d spent her life protecting. Angered by this, Adara turned her back on them as well, and proceeded to embrace her new title. Caleb saw this as an admirable trait in a woman, and set out to woo Adara, to make her his bride. The two began to care for one another, but once again, fate seemed to have other plans for Adara.
Her father, Doc, came to her and asked for her forgiveness in his hasty judgement of her. Adara feeling appeased by his efforts, accepted her father’s apology, and was integrated into the family once again. The family had suffered much financial hardship in her wake, as she’d been its primary source of income. Her money flowed back into the family, settling it, and allowing things to go on as they had.
To Adara’s sorrow, Caleb was killed several days after they’d wed. Leaving her once again widowed, with nothing now but a throne and a castle she knew not what to do with.
Present:
Adara is now living full time in her family’s realm. She herself is considered the second highest authority in the family, after her parents. It is in their home where Adara eventually opened a box, where Cerberus was held. Not knowing what it was, and giving into her curiosity, Adara had accidentally released a demon far stronger than any one of her family members. Fortunately for her and those around her, Cerberus was forced by the power of his confinement to obey her, and not do anyone around her harm.
Unfortunately, it also linked the two together, making Adara privy to some of the most distorted and sordid details of Cerberus’ past. One could not be killed, without killing the other.
Now forced into a bond she had never wanted, Adara tries to see the best of the situation, trying to befriend Cerberus (*snickers* Good luck with that girl…)
