Iesha (Ai - ee - shah)
The ironically named Iesha, meaning woman who lives, was the first Vampire Cyrus created in his two centuries of unlife. Well, of this unlife. Iesha is a mortal descendant and the last of Cyrus' mortal line, and doomed to die in 1884 at the tender age of fourteen. Iesha had been raped and was sentenced to die, as was considered just at the time, when Cyrus' mortal investigators swooped in to save her. His proxy was able to rescue her from the execution just in time. Cyrus had spent twenty years working to find his family line, and paid handsomely, earning the man's loyalty. Iesha still has a place in her heart for that man, and is genuinely glad to say that he did marry and have many descendants, and more than a few...bear up.
Iesha's second death was more lasting. Embraced in 1890, she was just twenty at the time. Cyrus explained everything to her well ahead of time, and Hiram counseled her through her pain and grief from the crime and her impending death. Iesha eventually came to accept that "becoming a creature like Cyrus was better than oblivion or hell," and has actually grown to an empowered woman over the decades since her Embrace.
Iesha sired Warriors. Unfortunately, despite being a dark mother to them, her Childer are all a product of their times. Her three childer all Embraced beautiful young women to be brides rather than making the warriors the Khaibit are naturally bound to be. Simply put, she hopes her grandchilder will disappoint their Sires and become more than dainty flowers to be plucked or crushed at whim. And if they must be flowers, she hopes they become as roses: beautiful but capable of making one bleed.
First Childe of Cyrus.
