Vandy, A Vampire, Character Sketch

Family Ties

Being a 300 year old vampire, Vandy's family died years ago. Her parents were Oleck and Alla Rocoska. She had a sister Olisha who was two years younger then her. They were a poor family. Oleck worked as a farmer and her mother Alla sold eggs and did sewing. Vandy remembered how her father played a fiddle and she and her sister would dance. Her parents, Olisha and her would go shop in the village. They didn't have a lot of money but her father would buy them a scarf or new cloak. Sometimes the people in the village would have celebrations and Vandy and Olisha would go dance and flirt with the young men. Once a guy made advances at Olisha and Vandy broke his nose. Her father would tell her about the stars and told her how to tell her future. He was wrong because her future didn't go well. Her mother taught her how to sew and make soap. Her mother told her how great marriage would be for her.Her parents had no idea what her future was going to be. She and Olisha talked about getting married someday and hoped they married men who had more money then their parents so they could help them. Vandy worked in the bar when she was sixteen and her parents were unhappy about it but she bought home money that they needed. She loved her parents and they were a close family.

She was so sad when she became a vampire. She had to leave her family. She hid in an old abandoned house in the mountains where there wasn't much sunlight and there was a room that was completely dark. She slept in the room during the day and was safe. Luckily, she met a eccentric man Klosarus Tovarsky who had strange powers. He was intrigued by vampires and became Vandy's friend. He was like a father to her. He made her the necklace she always wears so she could be in direct sunlight. Vandy would come home to her house at night to check on her family. She would look in the windows and she would hear them say how they missed her. She would cry and she knew they would never understand her life of way now. People were being attacked in the village and she was the one attacking the people. There was no way for her to stay in her old house with her family and avoid the sunlight. If she was with her family, she would get caught and people in the village would know she was a vampire. It woukld break her family's heart to know the truth about her. She missed her family but let her family think she had run off with the mysterious handsome man that she knew at the bar{who had turned her into a vampire}. It was better this way. Klosarus owned the house Vandy was staying in and he came home after being going for a few years. Vandy tried to attack him but he held up his hand and she couldn't come near him. She was shocked and asked how he coukld do that. He told her he had powers and he could be her friend. He could help her exist in daylight. Vandy believed him and he made her a necklace and he was true to his word. He couldn't reverse her vampire curse but she had found a friend in him. Vandy was thankful for Klosarus. She stayed in the mountains with him until he died years later. She left for England after that. She was now 40 years old and looked nineteen. She avoided being in the village all those years

In the meantime, her father had died and she went to his grave at night to say good bye. After she left Translyvania, she never returned and she never knew what happened to her sister and mother. Vandy would have given anything to had a normal life and be with her family. Maybe she would have met a nice man and married. Family. She had a family once and a nice one until she became a vampire. She cherished their memories and that was another life time ago.
