If not to add emphasis, she was his maker.

In the world of vampirism, his sire. It is through her pact that he lives eternal and has a deeper hunger than no mortal non- creative could possibly comprehend. This is the severity of their bond. Practically a fledgling to her, or a neonate concerning vampirism as a whole.

When I stated she is his mother, I do not shy from the full meaning of the word, she had granted rebirth to him. It is both literal and metaphorical ties that goes beyond death.

Course we have the " I am the car and the car is me. " Which can also be interpreted as now that she is tied to his soul, they are one in the same etc. I touched up on this on my other notes, but...

Growing up, I see Charlie having had to become the mother and father to himself. It's an reflective insinuative in a sense. She may be sentient to him, but his essence was what had broken the barrier of a stagnant reality. Again, playing on the a gift for a gift. He gave her leeway to thin the veil, she gave him eternal life. Where we come full circle of her becoming his shadow and molded to his being.

While discussing plots with a partner , I suddenly had a thought that made me terribly sad. It is no secret that I play the Wraith as her own being.  Parasitic at times with her connection to Charlie, possessive and highly protective of her driver. If not very Kingverse influenced. With her backstory being more of a high born Witch-like ; a Hansel and Gretel type of tale. She needs the children , perhaps more than Charlie ever would. To devour their pain. It’s a trait that would not be possible if her and Charlie had never molded as one. After all, he was her first lost boy.

She was his forever shadow of never never land.

– and yet, her bond which shaped them ? She is the mother he never had.
