     his gaze shifting to her hands when she started to play with a ring on her finger ( out of anxiety or nervousness, he noted ) adrian had a strange feeling about it – it felt too familiar to draw his gaze back for a moment but as the girl started to speak again, his curiousity peaked. what kind of stories must she have heard to make her turn into her dust form at the mention of his name ? now that, was interesting. “ stories… i hope nothing terrible. ” he simply commented, not saying anything further but the look in his eyes was questioning. with a hum he nodded, hands clasping before him. “ lia. lovely meeting you. ” he said, a very faint, almost impossible to see smile gracing his lips. “ i’m glad you did so. family, huh ? are they from the clan ? ”

        “define ‘terrible’?” the words are out of her mouth before she could bite them back. instead of dwelling on it she shifts her focus to his next question, shaking her head as she finally stops twisting the ring around her thumb. “no, actually - as far as i had been aware i had no undead family. she’s a mundane i think. moved out this way more recently though she might’ve been here for a few months. i used to be able to keep up with all of them, but in recent years most of my family seems determined to move as far from each other as is possible.”

I will not ask men to do for me what I cannot do for them. It’s shameful. Cowardly.

What made me so entitled that I could keep my hands clean? (via ofichorous)

     when she turned into dust, it was adrian’s turn to be stunned; he had no idea why such thing had just happened. the woman didn’t seem nervous at all before he gave his name, so that was off the list. was it… did his name bring unpleasant memories ? that, adrian feared. he had sired many in his life, especially during his more ruthless times that he’d wake up soaked in blood and wouldn’t even remember a thing, so he wouldn’t really be surprised if that was one of them. but at the same time, that wasn’t a reputation he wanted to gain within the clan. once she reformed, though, he furrowed his eyebrows, watching the other. “ adrian. adrian lancaster. ” he repeated, giving a tilt of his head. “ … do i know you ? ”

        she’s suddenly even more anxious than before as he confirms his name and she takes another step back, left hand shifting to play with the ring on her right. she’s tempted to leave - she only needed to meet him if she’d planned to stay, but maybe it would be better if she met with her mother and carried on. but as the thought of simply fleeing into the night crosses her mind she’s reminded that that isn’t her. she’s not some scared little girl hiding in her mother’s skirts - she hasn’t been that girl since she could first lift a sword.          the only question that remained was whether she should tell him exactly who she was - a question that was answered as soon as she opens her mouth to speak. “i don’t believe so, i’ve simply heard stories. my name’s lia, i’m simply stopping in town to visit family and figured it’d be best if i introduced myself.”

     adrian becoming the clan leader was a total blur; he knew that through kaleb, it was onto him to take the lead now as it had been quite the while since they had last seen the other vampire and the rest of them had been becoming more and more restless. with one last push from one of his fellow vampires, adrian decided to do what was necessary and stepped up as the leader. letters were sent to the rest of the downworlder leaders as well as the los angeles institute and now here adrian was, making his way into the hotel once again. he had already been informed on the newbie prior to arriving, so he directly made his way to the study where he’d meet the woman. “ i believe i can take it from here, jocelyn. thank you. ” he spoke as he walked into the room, turning towards the woman once the assistant left. “ my apologies for the delay. ” he kindly, but still with a cautious tone, told the other. extending a hand, he added, “ we shall get acquainted. adrian vincent lancaster. and you, miss ? ”

        for a moment she’s stunned - she’d stood the moment a new voice met her ears, taking his hand more out of reflex than anything else, and she’d yet to let go after catching his name. bright eyes flutter rapidly for a moment, her grip on his hand tightening as she goes through her family - she’d kept an eye on them, knew most of the names by heart, knew there certainly hadn’t been another named after her father, so...? her mouth falls open as if she was going to speak, yet instead the brunette crumbles into ash. she hasn’t even fully settled before she reforms, bouncing back a step and staring with wide eyes. “i....apologize, but what did you say your name was?” maybe she’d heard him wrong - that was the only thing that made sense, right?

        when it came to entering a new city there were three things lia knew - first, you had to find somewhere to stay. that part was easy enough, something she’d take care of before sunrise. second, find a food source - some cities had dens filled with willing people, some had hospitals with an inside man that could sell you bags, and some you just had to wing it and hope for the best. third, and possibly the most important - you had to introduce yourself to the local clan leader. that one was always a bit tricky for her - she was stubborn, too willful to bow to any particular leader, but typically didn’t stir up trouble which usually was enough to convince them to allow her to linger a while - and as per usual she was wound tight and tapping her fingers against her thigh as she waited.          she’d stopped paying much attention to the assistant nearly thirty minutes ago, tuning her voice into a part of the background that she simply nodded in response to. the woman just kept saying the same things - he’ll be right with you, i apologize for your wait the leader is simply busy, just a bit longer i’m sure of it -, which seemed to irritate her more than the waiting itself.

➰ ( LYNDSY FONSECA, CIS FEMALE, SHE/HER ) *✧.:°░｡ —- is that THALIA "LIA" LANCASTER ?! you know them, right? they are the 380ish year old VAMPIRE !! they’re known for being SPIRITED & LOYAL - but i’d be careful if i were you because they’re also MELANCHOLIC & STUBBORN. 

i have a problem. i swear i’ll stop soon. before i hit the limit. cross my heart. but anyways here’s my new kid, lia <3

trigger warnings: death, violence, death of a child, fire, attempted rape. if i missed any let me know.

so thalia here is the daughter of one @adriianvl and a past life of @charlottesryder​, one of two kids.

when adrian “died” and fled his kingdom, charlotte had just recently become pregnant and was still unaware. with the help of one of adrain’s knights who wasn’t terribly loyal to the new king, charlotte returned to her own family’s kingdom, where she would end up giving birth to twins -  Vincent Æðelwine and Thalia Adria.

@rcvcnaant​ & @thclcssc​ are honorary godparents even though neither of them knew, bc charlotte was soft for adrian’s people

charlotte’s brother, who had no children of his own, took them as his heirs. 

she’s only been in love once 

she was 14 when her soldier ( who was about six years her senior ) first caught her eye - already spending most of her days training with the soldiers and spending very little time acting like a "proper princess" as her grandmother continued to point out, she was fairly certain she'd never take a husband. at the time he had spent more time flirting with the maids than paying attention to the princess, which further affirmed her belief that she'd remain alone. she was 16 and had nearly given up on romance and simply settled for friendship, the two were often paired off as sparring partners bc many of the others were either "afraid to hurt the princess" or had lost to her and their pride wouldn't let them do it again. it would often happen that one of the two couldn't sleep and would sneak around to wake the other up for more practice and they'd end up training until they passed out in the stables. on one such night while they were sparring he stole a kiss - and then proceeded to use her shock against her and win the round - it became a more common thing and turned into the two sneaking off and stealing kisses they never went all the way tho, he didn't want to take advantage. she was 18 and all of her grandmother's attempts to find a "suitable" husband for her had failed ( no one wanted a wife that could best them in a fight eoijdsa ) when her soldier went to charlotte to ask for her blessing in marrying thalia - she outranked him by that point, and he'd asked the king as well, and he'd saved up his wages so he'd have something to his name, and was going to surprise thalia ( when she returned from a hunting trip with her brother and a few other soldiers ) with a simple ring if given their blessing. unfortunately their kingdom was once again attacked before she could return, her soldier cut down on the battlefield and left to die. charlotte personally went through his things with the news reached the castle, finding the ring and a half finished speech he'd been working on. to this day thalia wears the band on a chain around her neck, long enough to be hidden beneath her shirt.

on their 19th birthday vincent took the throne and lia was knighted, half acting as an adviser to her brother when battle was at hand ( which was more often than you’d think )

through out their lives their uncle ( adrian’s brother ), and later his heir, would stage attacks against their kingdom, in a move to show that they were still the top player.

thalia was also training to work as a sort of assassin, training with the soldiers and knights but also working with another trainer that had seen potential in her whenever she had a bit of spare time.

she had a group of about five knights that were more hers than her brother’s - they’d fight for their king but they’d die for their knight princess.

she was gravely wounded in a battle and left by the enemy to die of her wounds. she half-wished to die in hopes that her love would be waiting for her - unfortunately, she’s not that lucky.

she was turned by a vampire that pushed her to give into darkness, and the two of them along with her knights ( who had also been turned ) managed to infiltrate her father’s family’s kingdom and completely destroy it.

they tore through guards and soldiers and any that stood against them, and by the end of the fighting flames burned around them. as the flames grew higher lia came back to herself, heart breaking as she stared in horror at what they had done. she ordered her men to help anyone they could - women and children, anyone that hadn’t died - only to be cut off as the vampire that had turned them snapped the neck of a child and dropped the body at her feet and said “to what end, little princess? so they may grow healthy and strong and tell stories of the demons that did this? you still wear your brother’s colors, spare a single life and you will bring ruination to your home.”

she’s still haunted by that night, and several other terrible deeds he forced her to commit before she finally escaped his grasp.

she stayed with him for nearly three decades, him reminding her that she needed him. she knew little of this so-called ‘shadowworld’ and didn’t know how to survive in it. she gritted her teeth and bore his abuse until one day he attempted to push too far - she was lovely, he wanted her, she owed him. 

he’d managed to tear through her clothing before she got ahold of one of his fingers and bit it clean off, calling to her men the second his hand left her mouth. while he was older and stronger six pissed knights vs one man meant the odds were not in his favor. 

the six of them trapped him in a cave, five waiting while one went to find a warlock willing to seal it so he couldn’t leave - he’s been there for well over 300 years, surviving on rats and biding his time.

lia and her knights stuck together for a while after that, but eventually parted ways - they still get together every few years to catch up, though in more recent years two have stopped showing up lia is worried but hopes they just moved on oefijds

she came into possession of her father’s sword and ring about 100 years ago when one of her nephews tried to sell them for a bit of cash. she stole them before he could bc hell nah fam.

she knows about her mother’s curse and is actually in town looking for her - little does she know her dad’s in town too, along with the woman that she looked up to from all her mothers stories when she was a girl.

a small side-note: when startled she has a terrible habit of turning to dust/ash. pls don’t spook her, and pls don’t sweep her up. she’ll return to normal soon enough.

idk if i missed anything, i probably did. if you’ve got questions hit me up!!! like/reply to this or message me ( here or on discord ) if you want to plot <3
