I just ask that you don't abandon me please

History

Vanessa was born into a wealthy family, that of Gordon and Claire Ives, neighbours of the Murray family. As a child, she had a very close relationship with Mina, a girl from the Murray family, a relationship with a bond closer than that of a sister. Vanessa also had a close relationship with Mina's older brother, Peter Murray, whom she intended to marry when she was older. Vanessa's innocence was forever shattered when she witnessed one of Sir Malcolm and his mother's sexual escapades, and this became the start of a bitter feud between the two families. She grew to resent Mina for all her good fortune and began to demonstrate some scandalous habits, having kissed Peter out of character and having a sexual escapade with Mina's fiancé. Her downward spiral became more apparent when she fell victim to possession by an evil spirit, eventually leading to her mother's death. Vanessa spent a considerable amount of time with Joan Clayton, the wife of Ballentree Moor, a witch who began teaching her the ways of the daywalkers. She came to have a deep bond with her mentor, to such an extent that Vanessa walked with Joan as she was led to the tree in front of her hut to be burned alive due to the machinations of Evelyn Poole. Joan reciprocated this by leaving the shack and everything in it to Vanessa and preparing her for the upcoming battle against those who come at night. In 1891, Vanessa visited the Wildwest Show and became interested in its leading actor, Ethan Chandler. Intending to hire him as an armed assistant, she met him in a bar and offered him a night job. Vanessa wanted to get her friend Mina back by starting a group to rescue her with Sir Malcolm.

Appearance and Personality

Vanessa, despite her outward appearance, is a kind and compassionate woman who is far from incapable of being friendly and courteous. She has since formed a close bond with John Clare after meeting him while working at the cholera shelter. She spoke to John Clare about falling in love and religion, complimented his eyes, shares with him a fascination with poetry, taught him how to dance, and sadly declined his invitation to leave London with him forever, as she did not want her friend to be a burden to her. She is one of the few, if not the only, people who was not cowed by his appearance, was not bothered by his cold touch, and treated him with genuine kindness. She is also quite friendly with Dr. Victor Frankenstein, as he trusted her to help him buy suitable clothing for Lily and even introduced him to Lily for the first time. In her interaction with the doctor, Vanessa displays a capacity for playful banter. Vanessa trusted Victor enough to give him and only him the address of where she and Ethan would stay in case they needed her and reminded him to be patient with Lily before they left. She has strong feelings for Ethan Chandler, as she has repeatedly made it clear that she is more than willing to accept him for who and what he is. She wanted him to stay with her after surviving the battle with Mrs. Poole and her coven, remembering the comfort Vanessa felt with Ethan by her side. She assured him that he would feel better about himself as she felt with him. The memory of the tragic death of Joan Clayton, the wife of Ballentree Moor, who took her in and accepted her in a time of great need, pushed Vanessa to do the unthinkable and use the darkest of magic to avenge her former mentor. Vanessa had blue eyes, white skin with some freckles, a voluptuous and beautiful body, measuring 1.70 meters
