Romey Kallahan

[`Duckie]

Picture:
Age: Early Twenties
Gender: Female
Species: Hybrid
Appearance:

Besides the obvious, her crazy colored turquoise and baby blue hued hair not only match her personality, but is pretty much what she truly enjoys doing. She normally wears things that aren't extraordinary, only because she makes all the items she wears and truly finds comfort in simpler clothing styles. Her inspiration usually comes from the Asian culture only because the modern fashions seem to intrigue her inner artist and help create bits of clothing suitable for outside use. Romey, however, has a deep weakness for shoes, be it vintage or modern and the colors usually variate in hues. No not color palette, literally hues, shades of the color palette. Her main focus is her crazy hair and the ever changing element to it, all in all Romey doesn't wear flashy clothes only because her hair takes from all of that anyway so there is really no point.

Personality:

Crazy, wild, fun, outgoing, stubborn, can often times be perceived as immature, and a little weird for a Hybrid. Normally one would think being half Vampire would make one mysterious and ominous, or something of that dark and cold nature. Not Romey, she's lively, optimistic, and completely opposite of dull, awkward, and quiet.

She's fun to be around be it another Hybrid, Human, or Vampire; all her energy is focused on learning how to accept the abilities that have been bestowed upon her and to understand why is she what she is, to wonder where she truly comes from, to ask who she is. Her lifespan will be to enjoy life as it is, for what it is, and to understand what it means. Romey can have her down days, like many others, but those are as rare as her hair color.

History:

Romey Kallahan was born to Eleanor Lionshead and Bryce Kallahan; her mother Eleanor at the time was a well known Vampire, a daughter from a wealthy Vampire Clan, a clan now extinct with only Romey's younger brother James and herself to keep the Vampire Clan blood flowing through their veins. Ironically enough, James is only half blood related to Romey; after five years had passed in Romey's life her mother married a Vampire that would be the insurance policy the Clan was looking for, seeing as Eleanor was the only daughter to the infamous Count Roderick.

James was born about a month and some odd weeks or days before Romey's sixth birthday and was presented the heir to the Vampire Clan of Count Roderick Lionshead III. Since her father was a Human, Romey was discarded and never noticed; even if she had the rare blood of Roderick, it wasn't enough . . . She wasn't pure and that single statement was already burning a hole in her confidence in who she was.

Her mother was a some what loving woman, she barely had shown much emotion and Romey figured it was mainly due to the fact that her father had passed and she had truly loved him. And since his passing her father, Roderick, decided the best remedy was to mend her shattered heart. Unfortunately for him, he hadn't realized she would become nothing less than a doll and almost dead like one as well. Her step father was cruel and always scoffed at her, belittling her for being a Hybrid and how his son was nothing near her kind; nothing as disgusting or vial, something he wouldn't even let his most expensive pair of shoes lick.

With that sort of ugly, hate filled, statements, Romey held a tight resentment toward anyone of full Vampire blood; be it royal or peasant. Her resentment turned to hatred and later murder, she would go mad with rage and even kill the maids who did nothing to her but tend to her every whim. This ugly, dark side of Romey had concerned her step father into thinking she would plot a way to kill his prospective, cushy seating, where his father-in-law sat for the moment. So he banished Romey, sending her out into the streets at the age of sixteen.

She hadn't known much on the outside, even if it was starting to become modernized and ever changing. She had been born in the early 1900s so around 1920s; when the U.S. was considered to be in the economic prosperity of America, lots of folks indulging themselves in lifestyles they will soon leave due to the war in the 1940s. Romey grew up fairly alright, for someone who worked lower than dirt due to her gender, discrimination was prominent still but when the second world war two happened, industries had lost many employees and jobs abundant. Women were mostly available and definitely needed during that time of shortage of masculine indulgence. She had taken up the opportunity immediately and decided to live in a shitty studio with little essentials and barely even ate; she focused on building and maintaining her fortune, and yes she knew it would take a long time to build but it kept her sane.

Romey pretty much continued to do this and is still maintaining the "work-ethic" mode even though now it's many decades later, she can easily stop and live in the lap of luxury; but no, she doesn't, she enjoys her current job as a hair stylist and here and there photographer. She blends herself in with Humans and tries to avoid Hybrids and Vampires, even though she hasn't really run into either for many years; one may never know.
