Mina Harker née Murray

𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫

23 Years Old 5'6" Feet tall Infected (Partial Higher Vampire) 1887 Status: Alive | 1999 Status: Deceased (1864-1993) Mina Harker, a victim of Dracula, was transformed into a partial Higher vampire after he attempted to turn her but was thwarted. Left in this state of being that straddles the line between human and monster, she is unfortunately unable to rid herself of the infection and is stuck as creature that hungers for blood. Often craves blood, but refuses to drink it out of a sense of moral disgust, yet gets nauseous when presented with normal food because of said cravings.

Cause of Death: Mina Harker passed away in child birth on November 7th, 1893. Her soon to be child, Quincey Harker, was still born-- suffering from a genetic condition that was incompatible with life. Those who are infected are not meant to live long in this half state of being and and their cells soon begin to die from the venom in their veins.

Relationships

Jonathan Harker | Husband | ♥♥♥♥♥ A deeply passionate and loving relationship, they would do anything for each other. Met young, fell hard and fast. Does not wish to trouble Jonathan with her status and refuses to drink his blood when offered.

Abraham Van Helsing | Close Acquaintance | ♥♥♥♡♡ Though she not claim he is a friend, she trusts him enough to put her life in his hands. He can be seen as a grandfather figure of sorts, someone who she can go to for help. She understands that he was trying his best to keep her safe. Arthur Holmwood | Acquaintance | ♥♥♥♡♡ Someone she is thankful towards, yet can't claim to be friends. Grateful that he helped save her life. Dr. John Seward | Acquaintance | ♥♥♥♡♡ Someone she is thankful towards, yet can't claim to be friends. Grateful that he helped save her life. Dracula | Sympathetic | ♥♡♡♡♡ In spite of what he has done, she does not hate him, and only feels a strange sense of sympathy and pity mixed with horror. Still mentally linked to Dracula as one of his "Fledglings" and can sense general things about his location/emotions/ect.

First Afro-American ran for US President

“George Edwin Taylor ran for president a long time before Barack Obama.”

“Born in the pre-Civil War South to a mother who was free and a father who was enslaved, George Edwin Taylor would become the first African American selected by a political party to be its candidate for the presidency of the United States.

Taylor was born on August 4, 1857 in Little Rock, Arkansas to Amanda Hines and Bryant (Nathan) Taylor. At the age of two, George Taylor moved with his mother from Arkansas to Illinois. When Amanda died a few years later, George fended for himself until arriving in Wisconsin by paddleboat in 1865. Raised in and near La Crosse by a politically active African family, he attended Wayland University in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin from 1877 to 1879, after which he returned to La Crosse where he went to work for the La Crosse Free Press and then the La Crosse Evening Star. During the years 1880 to 1885 he produced newspaper columns for local papers as well as articles for the Chicago Inter Ocean.

Taylor's newspaper work brought him into politics--especially labor politics. He sided with one of the competing labor factions in La Crosse and helped re-elect the pro-labor mayor, Frank "White Beaver" Powell, in 1886. In the months that followed, Taylor became a leader and office holder in Wisconsin's statewide Union Labor Party, and his own newspaper, the Wisconsin Labor Advocate, became one of the newspapers of the party.

In 1887 Taylor was a member of the Wisconsin delegation to the first national convention of the Union Labor Party, which met in Ohio in April, and refocused his newspaper on national political issues. As his prominence increased, his race became an issue, and Taylor responded to the criticism by increasingly writing about African American issues. Sometime in 1887 or 1888 his paper ceased publication.

In 1891 Taylor moved to Oskaloosa, Iowa where he continued his interest in politics, first in the Republican Party and then with the Democrats. While in Iowa Taylor owned and edited the Negro Solicitor, and became president of the National Colored Men's Protective Association (an early civil rights organization) and the National Negro Democratic League, an organization of Africans within the Democratic Party. From 1900 to 1904 he aligned himself with the Populist faction that attempted to reform the Democratic Party.

Taylor and other independent-minded African Americans in 1904 joined the first national political party created exclusively for and by Africans, the National Liberty Party (NLP). The Party met at its national convention in St. Louis, Missouri in 1904 with delegates from thirty-six states. When the Party's candidate for president ended up in an Illinois jail, the NLP Executive Committee approached Taylor, asking him to be the party's candidate.

While Taylor's campaign attracted little attention, the Party's platform had a national agenda: universal suffrage regardless of race; Federal protection of the rights of all citizens; Federal anti-lynching laws; additional African regiments in the U.S. Army; Federal pensions for all former slaves; government ownership and control of all public carriers to ensure equal accommodations for all citizens; and home rule for the District of Columbia.

Taylor's presidential race was quixotic. In an interview published in The Sun (New York, November 20, 1904), he observed that while he knew whites thought his candidacy was a "joke," he believed that an independent political party that could mobilize the African American vote was the only practical way that blacks could exercise political influence. On election day, Taylor received a scattering of votes.

The 1904 campaign was Taylor's last foray into politics. He remained in Iowa until 1910 when he moved to Jacksonville. There he edited a succession of newspapers and was director of the African American branch of the local YMCA. He was married three times but had no children. George Edwin Taylor died in Jacksonville on December 23, 1925.”

The Thibodaux Massacre

The Thibodaux Massacre was nothing less than an act of violent racism that ended the lives of up to 60 African Americans.

"On November 23, 1887, a mass shooting of African-American farm workers in Louisiana left some 60 dead. Bodies were dumped in unmarked graves while the white press cheered a victory against a fledgling black union."

This information taken from the Smithsonian Magazine highlights the extremity of the situation as a whole.

Picture taken from the Nicholls library database.

"Murder, foul murder has been committed, and the victims were inoffensive, law-abiding Negroes. Assassins more cruel, more desperate, more desperate than any who had hitherto practiced their nefarious business in Louisiana have been shooting down, like so many cattle, the negroes in and around Thibodaux, Lafourche parish, La."

Quote taken from African American Newspaper.

This was a tragic part of history, and it should be learned about, a way to bring awareness to the horrible situation that African Americans used to live in. The massacre was a result of a labor strike blown out of proportion by the white officials in charge. It should never be forgotten that innocent people were killed that day as a result of wanton racism and power hungry officials.

Approximately when some of the DST characters were born

(Reminder this is all speculation!! And since we don’t have an age range for some of the characters, I will have to guesstimate*)

*guess-estimate

(OKAY SO… This has been in my drafts for a year-ish.. I planned to do more characters but lost my motivation, and now I am finally posting it)

Wilson: Born sometime around 1887-1891 on April 23. Probably born in Europe and possibly immigrated to America some time before he was taken.

He has been stated to be in his early 30’s in a Klei facebook message/post (I dont really know how to describe it) on June 17, 2014

Wilson was also canonically taken into the constant in the year 1921. This is stated in a rough timeline made by Klei developer Kevin Forbes on September 25, 2014. He is in his early 30’s (30-34) and taken in 1921, 1921 minus 34 is 1887 and 1921 minus 30 is 1891 so he was born around those years. It isn’t really set in stone if he is European or not, but it is sorta hinted to. On January 7, 2014 in a Facebook conversation it is stated that he is “roughly designed as a European, maybe a European USA Immigrant”

Willow: Possibly born around 1887-1891 on May 7. She was orphaned at a young age and then sent to an orphanage, then she burnt it down.

This was a lot harder to figure out, and with new lore always coming this birth year speculation may be proven wrong. As seen above in the first image Willow is in her early 20’s. (Also, Willow was first said to be in her Late teens, and then later said to be in Early 20’s. Personally I take the early 20’s to be more canon as it was said at a more recent time than the first age.) There is no set in stone time for when she was taken. With the knowledge of the date Wickerbottom was taken (March 29, 1911, said in the timeline I linked above ^^) we can assume she was taken sometime between 1911-1921 (1921 is when Maxwell takes in Wilson, presumably his last victim) She was probably taken not to long after Wickerbottom was taken because Willow in the constant looks the same as Willow in Wickerbottoms animation. 1911 minus 20 is 1891 and 1911 minus 24 is 1887.

Wendy: Born November 11, 1903.

I got this birth year from the timeline and it is also stated in Wendy's Dont Starve wiki page The reason the year chosen is 1903 is because “Wendy is stated to be between 8 and 10 years old. This range can be narrowed down by examining various dates from the William Carter puzzles and the image of her nightstand. Jack's letter in the third William Carter puzzle, which mentions the twins, must have been written no later than the August 1904 dates from the fourth puzzle. This means that Wendy and Abigail were born no later than August 1904. Additionally, Wendy's diary entry, which was likely written before she entered the Constant, has a date of April 16, 1914. Since Wendy's birthday is in November, her only possible date of birth is November 11, 1903.” This text is taken from the wiki linked above. ^^ If we take her diary entry and her birth year and do some math, we can figure out that Wendy is 10 years old and 5 months when she was taken into the constant.

Remembering Boris Karloff

William Henry Pratt, better known as Boris Karloff (November 23, 1887 – February 2, 1969)

He is best remembered for his roles in horror films and his portrayal of Frankenstein's monster in Frankenstein (1931). His career experienced something of a revival in the 1960s thanks to hosting the TV anthology series Thriller (1960) and indie director Roger Corman, with Karloff contributing wonderful performances in The Raven (1963), The Terror (1963), the ultra-eerie Black Sabbath (1963) and the H.P. Lovecraft-inspired Monster of Terror (1965).

Karloff's last great role was as an aging horror movie star confronting a modern-day sniper in the Peter Bogdanovich film Targets (1968). His TV career was capped off by achieving Christmas immortality as the narrator of Chuck Jones's perennial animated favorite, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1966).

Karloff was also a charter member of the Screen Actors Guild and was especially outspoken regarding working conditions on sets that actors were expected to deal with in the mid-1930s, some of which were extremely hazardous. Karloff was married five times and had one daughter. He died in Sussex, England of pneumonia at age 81 and was cremated.
