Léhä Tepes (Lee - ha)

Léhä Tepes was born into the Itudean royal family from a concubine relationship, and is the younger half-sister of Kěith Cheonsa daughter of Vladimir Tepes and Ponnie. While still raised as a princess, she was able to branch off and study magick to further her abilities with blood magick. She believes that blood magick does not need to be evil. Instead, she pushes forward in proving blood magick is great for healing, and that her kind are not just diplomats and pretty faces in the crowd.   While she watches Kěith and their father argue nonstop, to the point that it sometimes turns physical, Léhä understands that their father is suffering from being soulbroken and that he doesn't truly hate Kěith. He can seem heartless and abusive, but underneath all of it, he just wants the family to be whole again. Léhä will stand up to her father and point out that he needs to be more civil, regardless of the soulbroken curse forcing him into a mindless rage of hatred toward Kěith whenever he sees him. It remains a continuous problem that Léhä struggles to find a cure for.   Upon all of that, Léhä is mated to Daniel Mi, a handsome shapeshifter from Conjura and the Exotic Pet of Kěith.  

Léhä Tepes: "Do you really think that the wolf doesn't care about you? Every time Lukas gets close to you, the wolf growls and his eyes start glowing gold. I'm sure he's being just as stubborn as you are."

  Kěith frowned. His eyes cast to the floor, a deep wallowing pang of guilt resting in them.  

Kěith Cheonsa: "I know he hates me. I'm the monster that bought him as a slave for Fate's sake!"

  Léhä's eyes softened. She reached over and cupped her brother's cheek.  

Léhä Tepes: "You bought him to save his life. The other nobles would have enjoyed watching him starve and bleed to death in a gibet. You did the only thing you could at the time."

Mental

Personality
Everyone knows that the princess is strongheaded, yet can see the good in others. She alone is the one person who can get Kěith to drink blood, and also smile naturally. She also doesn't take "no" for an answer, which helps to Kěith on the right path. Just don't mess with her brother and you won't end up a skewered piece of meat being drained of your blood.   She stands up to anyone who threatens her family. To Léhä, someone can hurt her and she wouldn't care, but the second soemone hurts her friends, she'll put the aggressor in the infirmary. However, the second her family is in danger, she'll make sure that nobody can find the aggressor's body. On top of this, she'll heal just about anyone, regardless of their social status, species, or what they have done - unless they've hurt her friends or family.  
Trauma
When Wolf Slayer roamed around Vol'nische, she abhored his actions, mentioning they were akin to a madman. During the times when Wolf Slayer would grace the war meetings in the Vol'nische Palace war meeting room, Léhä would end up seeing grotesque viewings of Wolf Slayer's actions via a massive communications crystal in the center of the room.      
Abilities
Léhä is talented with her blood magick. While she is capable of fighting, she prefers to heal in the injured and remedy the sick. Any complicated surgeries put in front of her are easier performed due to her control over blood and making sure the patient doesn't die from blood loss.  

History

On Kruqesk 17th, 1776 EoL, Léhä was born born to Ponnie, who died shortly after the birth. Even though Léhä was raised a princess of the empire, her duties to the empire were not as vast nor complicated. This allied her to practice blood magick with special tutors. However, as she got older, she noticed her father abusing her older half-brother. Léhä desperately wanted to heal Kěith, but was quickly told to shush and mind her own business. Secretly, she snuck into this room and began using her blood magick and other medical knowledge to heal his wounds. She was caught and grounded, but Kěith never forgot her actions.

She/Her
In 1986 EoL, Léhä began dating Eliphas Vexx, who seemed charming and sweet at first. The longer they dated, the more Léhä's motivation would drop and she became reclusive. It wasn't until 2010 EoL that Kěith noticed her overall indifference to a lot of things. She had even stopped being a medic! Kěith sought to sort that out and had Eliphas sent to the battle and Léhä got her first taste of freedom in a long time. A few months later, Léhä received a letter mentioning the Eliphas had gone missing, yet Léhä felt nothing. She was just glad he no longer had a hold on her and if he was MIA, that was no skin off her back.       One day in 2014 EoL, while walking along the edge the Winter Pine Forest with a large group of her people, Kěith, Syus Nightingale, Léhä Tepes, and her bodyguard stumbled upon Daniel and a group of shapeshifters. The second the shifters saw the vampires, they attacked. Daniel, on the other hand, turned on his people, attacking them to protect Léhä, whom he had realized was his mate. When the battle was over, Daniel was going to be put to death, but Kěith stopped Syus from striking the final blow and pointed out that Daniel defended Léhä, whose bodyguard was dead. That was the moment Kěith had the idea to make Daniel an Exotic Pet to keep him safe and so that Léhä could have her mate. Ever since then, Kěith has had a good relationship with him.
