BACKSTORY
Desdemona was born to a time long ago, six hundred and ninety four years, to be exact. Her mother was the heir to a rare Greek family amongst the romanised French people, and her father came from aristocratic wealth. Hailing from Marseilles, the Beauregardes lived comfortably as traders, but even the wealthy couldn’t survive plagues.When the news of the black death burning its way across Europe came to the city, Mona's family seeked whatever salvation they could - money was no object. With the attractive incitement of everlasting prosperity and guaranteed survival of the horrific plague, the Beauregardes joined a group of people that called themselves ‘les nouveaux dieux’ - the new gods. Partaking in a ritual of blood and sacrifice, in death they were reborn. Whilst the affluent rose above and survived, the poor perished at the hands of the plague and simply became a distant memory in the city. But of course, an unaging population would bring suspicion and questions. To maintain their wealth — and their secrecy - for a great number of years to follow, the Beauregard family and the remainders of the ‘new gods’ took to impersonating rich aristocrats and noblemen that they feasted upon, inheriting their wealth before writing off their personas and moving on to the next target. This wasn’t a particularly difficult feat to pull off - it was in a time when a person could only be recognised if they had been seen before. Photographs were a thing of the future, and paintings weren’t all that accurate. As times changed, the undead changed with them. With new eras of civilisation developing around the globe, Mona grew a longing to explore, to see the world. Of course, she had more than enough money to do so, but women at the time weren’t regarded very highly in independence so she enlisted a gullible and easily compelled nobleman to be her chaperone. Tired of hiding her identity and rarely settling in one place for long, Mona sought out communities of beings like herself. Making the decision to take the length journey across the Atlantic, feeding solely on the ship’s crew for the duration, she eventually arrived in a new land that promised her freedom. Present day, she’s living it up in a mansion of her own in the supernatural infested town of Redwick Hollow. She has shares in multiple large businesses giving her a sizeable income, which she likes to spend on gambling and partying, frequently. What’s the point of having everlasting life if you can’t enjoy what it has to offer? HEADCANONS
• Mona’s circle of friends is small, very small. She lacks any real friends, mostly due to her rude facade of a personality - she rarely trusts anyone enough to let them in. • She has one heck of a superiority complex, thanks to her being a supernatural being who’s strength grows as she ages. If someone wants to challenge her she’ll happily accept, before ripping their head clean from their torso. • She’s rather indifferent when it comes to rivalry with other factions of the supernatural. Instead of hating them, she’d prefer to manipulate and use them to her advantage. Likes:
