Ash Riveraux

"'i died for you. because i know past all the madness, violence and sadistic actions, you are still the boy who pulled me and my siblings of the battle field. try to find him again for me?'"

Ash Riveraux was born during the war of the original sins to her mother, soleste and an unnamed father. her childhood was spent mostly alone, playing in the Quintia camp, and learning magic. when she was 3, her mother Married Conrad Orrsen And had 2 children, she got along the best with Hawthorn, the oldest of the two, but they tended to gang up and or bicker with rose, despite the fact all three loved each other deeply. her mother took an interest to ash as the oldest because after revising her immortality spell, she knew ash carried the Malum sire gene as she possessed it but had no interest in turning because of all the disadvantages shed plagued that sire line with. Ash had no idea what her mother was doing but was happy as a three year old to finally get attention from her. it was noted by her stepfather, soleste planned to use her as a weapon to win the war but needed ash to be older to fight her 5 other original vampires. when ash was 4, she, and her half siblings were exploring the river that divided the iinferni coven from the clans. when they attempted to cross, the river parted- it was later revealed mazigold had done this and had watched them cross- when they had crossed, ash discovered her aunt, mazigold and, whilst her siblings didnt want to go back, she did. mazigold never had children and they both kind of filled the role of mother and daughter each other were missing. the war concluded when ash was 5. her stepfather had tried fleeing with ash, hawthorn and rose because there village was destroyed in the last efforts to end the war by the originals. Conrads brother, Chase was one of the originals and had a vendetta against Soleste due to a personal relationship as well as the fact she turned him into a vampire. however conrad was thrown from his horse and sustained injuries that would lead to be fatal. chase caught up with them, taking the three to there maternal grandmother, Elegra, where they learned mazigold had died. ash enjoyed chases company the most, who, at first, was hesitant to spend time with her(because she resembled her mother so much, and he was generally removed from human contact because he wasn't good at resisting blood) but after learning she was a malum dhampir, he became some what of a mentor to her. she spent the rest of her life in the quintia Clan with chase leading them, who had opened the boarders to the iinferni coven for the kindness they had shown him and so ash and her siblings could practice there magic, due to magical inheritance, ash and her siblings had uncontrollable magic and needed help learning to harness it. when ash was 14, a weapon against the originals was discovered. many of the clans turned on there leaders, unhappy to be lead by 'sinful blood consumers' so the clans destroyed themselves with infighting. Rose died from over use of magic, and hawthorn was killed in the infighting, revealing not all vampire children had the vampire gene. Ash fled with the originals and became Chases ward. she eventually killed herself in order to activate her vampire genes, becoming the first witch/vampire hybrid. the originals travelled around and she became close with Amara, another original. when chase elected to leave the group due to infighting with Maddox, there 'leader' Ash chose to leave with him and Amara. when ash was 200 years old, she met her future husband Lucien Riveraux as the group had travelled to France. Ash was traditional in respects to waiting for marriage for sex, common in those times and nurtured by the fact she didn't know her birth father because of this, and Amaras influence. she was annoyed when she found out chase was not a virgin because he'd slept with luciens sister, Aimée. she married lucien and turned him shortly after. the group rejoined the originals, when ash was 500 years old. at first she was happy to do so but noticed chase was not. after 100 years, the group was reived as royalty if not brutal, and had many creatures, human, witch and vampires alike try to impress them. one of these being the amorous witches, a coven claiming to be dedicated to Amara and the other originals. Ash did not trust the amorous witch coven as they didnt reveal how they're magic worked, and forgave chase much to easily for murdering a man in there coven over the fact chase said he was hungry. the coven presented the originals, and herself with crowns. at a ball soon after, she noticed the coven where using the crowns to control them all. they didn't know that the magic didn't work on ash who was protected from magical attacks, via a necklace which prevented nightmares and enhanced hunger that came with being a malum vampire. she killed the coven, and hid the crowns in there graves. that is when all of the originals decided she was an important asset, but due to her loyalty to chase, they started allowing his indiscretions, such as impulsive actions, violent outbursts and the fact he spent most of his time eating humans where ever he went, not to mention he didn't seem to like many of them. ash often teased him for this but could tell he was very depressed and would try to raise his spirits often, which made her neglect her marriage to Lucien who thought she was in love with chase. it took him a long time to understand ash saw chase as a brother or father figure rather than a romantic interest. after this the two grew closer and soon ash fell pregnant. she named her daughter Kehli after Chase suggested the name. Ash knew the name was what mazigold would have called her own daughter and Lucien agreed. ash loved kehli more than anything, and started separating her daughter from the brutality from the originals, including Chase in fear that her child's innocence would be lost. the next time chase clashed with Maddox, he left with Amara leaving her behind. this greatly upset ash. she tried to use her magic to find him but she dint have any of chases biological relatives or his blood so couldn't use a tracking spell. but eventually she remembered that if she found her stepfathers bones, she could send him a letter. so she travelled from china, where they had been residing to dover to find his grave. but his bones had turned to dust. before she gave up, she travelled to the ruins using a spell to find it, when she did she found the place that the originals had been turned and found dry blood, she used that to send chase a letter begging him to come home. because she had left, the other originals panicked believing she had allied with him, so they killed Lucien. when she returned, they told her chase had killed Lucien. grief stricken, she used her mothers spells to enhance chases already enhanced hunger. claiming to the others 'one is easy to find if one is on a rampage' but secretly she was trying to find him because she missed him and had doubts on Lucien's killers identity. Kehli became a vampire and fled the court. it was later revealed Maddox had tried to marry her and when she declined threatened that she would befall her fathers fate if she didn't. and kehli used her magic to hide from him. ash never found her daughter, or found out why she left. it took 100 years before rumors of a crazed unkillable vampire reached them. based on description, location and eye witnesses they assumed it must be chase. the originals wanted him home because they where worried they would lose there immortality if he died unaware that ash would continue the immortality if he did die, and they wanted Amara back. so they travelled to the kingdom of Norway, ash knew him and Amara the best and found them first. Amara told ash she was worried about chase because he was so depressed, and complained about the hunger. ash broke her spell, and explained to Amara that the originals wanted them back. she agreed to return with chase in return that chase would be kept indoors for the time being until he recovered. ash agreed and Amara promised to convenience him to come back if they left then. ash explained this and the originals where hesitant but knew chase was strong willed so they left making there home in Kensington, England. soon Amara bought chase and herself home. chase was confined to the west wing at first using ash's magic. she then realised him to the rest of the house but the originals forbade her from letting him out any further. ash felt sorry for him but he seemed to curb his impulses. it pleased the other originals but ash knew he wasn't better, but just beaten down by them all. ash would try to cheer him up but he didn't seem interested in talking to her, choosing only to confide in Amara, who ash knew had developed feelings for chase. they let him out eventually but used ash as leverage to behave. this went on for 600 years. at this point, the originals descendants had began to try to over through there parents or great grandparents ect. as they wanted to rule the vampires and knew they wouldn't die, Amara and chase had left but Amara had come back when she found out chase didn't share romantic feelings for her. ash found chase and left the originals for the last time. she found chase and as he was alone, he finally reconciled with her. chase allied himself with the court (the originals decendants) saying he only wanted immunity and himself and ash to be able to disappear they agreed and the originals found out. he knew they would risk immortality for him so he and ash worked together to kill them. ash and he decided to fake his death his sire line would have to die or they would know he was still alive. so ash took him back to the ruins, killed him with his consent, hoping to end his sire line, but the ghost of soleste tried to foil her plans, forcing ash to use herself as a sacrifice. chase buried her on this island with her talisman
