These items include her twin serpentine short swords, three feathers, an enchanted leather pouch, a strip of blue silk, a strip of white silk, and two skulls.

[B]History: [/B] She was born with a mysterious connection to blood, and an ability to reproduce her own at a rapid rate. It was an oddity and made her able to sense the strangeness in the blood in others as well as disease but she appeared otherwise human. She lived a fairly happy, normal life, her ability allowing her to occasionally donate blood to those who needed it as she was also apparently blessed with 0- type blood. Everything changed, however, on her wedding day. It started out well enough. The sunlight was bright and she looked beautiful in her white gown with a vivid blue under skirt that matched her eyes perfectly. The wedding progressed and she returned was soon on her way with her husband to go get their things and change out of their wedding clothes so the honeymoon could start.

When they entered her home, however, they found someone waiting for them. She instantly sensed his blood felt strange, felt dead. She told her husband to run and turned to do the same only to find out it was already to late. They were surrounded. Within moments her new husband was dead and she was carted off to an underground keep. There a coven of vampires would keep her as the perfect blood doll, but always using a knife to extract it rather then their fangs as they feared the consequences for reasons they could not name. They would find that fear justified...

One day a vampire gave in to the urge, however, of her unusually sweet smelling blood and bit into the right side of her throat. Out of pain and half conscious she muttered 'stop' as she had many times before but this time the vampire obeyed. She ordered him to unchain her and he did, though by that time others were entering the room along with a strange raven. The raven looked at her and she heard it's voice whisper 'your blood is your power, [i]use it![/i]' As the vampires attacked desperate with claws and blade but she had discovered the well of power hidden within her. For every cut they made her blood released and began to fill the room with strange blue flames at her command. They did not burn her but the vampires were decimated by it. Still able to hear her beloved's screams she lashed out, trapping the rest and killing them all. Once they were dead she took the leaders belt.... as well as his skull and the skull of his second in command. She tied both to the belt and taking one of their short swords left the scene in ruins, the strange raven on her shoulder and new knowledge in her heart. She had the power to fight that which went bump in the night, and for the crimes committed against her she would.
