I was going to write a backstory for Magena's parents, but I have great plans for the MTR series and I just can't hold it off so I'm gonna focus on that until it's finished. However, I decided to write the backstory for Magena herself much like I did for my ROTG fanfic. This one's just as much of a downer if not more so. Some of this is inspired by the series finale of Daria. If you're a fan of the show, you'll know which part I'm talking about. There are also a couple characters here based on ones from a certain movie we've all fallen in love with by now. Again. you'll know which ones.
When the announcement of a baby being born of the Duchess of vampires reached the worldwide vampire population, no vampire in the world celebrated. Because this was also the baby of a ghost, the first ghost to marry a vampire and become the duke.
When the baby was born, the duke and duchess, Baruch and Avianna Mortale were astonished. Not only were they blessed with a beautiful baby girl named Magena, but the world's first ghost-vampire hybrid. As such, she was 75% dead and every liquid in her body was fused with ectoplasm.
For a few years or so, Baruch and Via proved to be promising parents. While living in the Mortale castle in Transylvania, they took time off from their duties to raise Magena, which was a bit of a struggle. As a baby, she had uncontrollable habits such as levitating, phasing through walls, wall crawling, and sinking her fangs into furniture.
As Magena grew a little older, her parents shared their passions with her. Via shared the Mortale family's love for darkness, death, and horror. The family would read horror books and watch scary movies together. Magena was especially fascinated by the bizarre, terrifying monster designs she saw in Tim Burton movies. Meanwhile, Baruch shared his love for music. The family would all sing and play music together. All these activities brought them closer as a family.
However, this would not last. Fate had more grim plans for them.
