During Arc 2
Secret Reese Lore
Beware for Vampire Lore Spoilers (Good for DMs)
Show spoiler
Reese is considered an Usurper by the lord and lady of House Strika, as she was merely supposed to be food for the former Van until she quite literally punched out her heart, ate it to try to stay alive, but in the process partially restrained the genasic fire in their heart, causing Reese to become blood lusted and feral. It took fully being turned by Baron Strika into a dhampir for the transformation to stick and Reese’ blood lust to be subsided.
The Van that tried to feast on Rostrian was in fact the Baron's daughter, but as its believed that the daughter's vampiric feast was the beginnings of a coup to try to take the throne of vampires from her father, the Baron has inadvertently become attached to the cold hearted Reese. Reese holds some restraint for her adoptive ‘father’ as she would have preferred to be put down, seeing herself as a monster. This disdain has subsided over the years, but Reese has become ever reckless when it comes to protecting her allies and continues to use the name Strinka to distance herself from what is now, by right, her future throne and responsibilities.
Trivia
- Mars made a picrew (Djarn's picrew) of Reese, seen here.
- Reese's last name is technically "ven Strika" but they say "ven Strinka" to bother the Baron Strika (see: House Strika).
- Reese has earned the nickname “The Chilled Knight” as the air around them is marginally colder due to Reese having to absorb heat to sustain themselves, and for their cold demeanor to those she considers enemies or who have done harm to her family.
- Reese’s birthday is on August 13th.
- Reese picked up her smoking habit when they were known as Rostrian, and being ‘undead’ doesn’t stop those habits. She smokes cigarettes that produce an immense amount of heat that she absorbs to help sustain her hunger.
