BIOGRAPHY
TRIGGER WARNING: prostitution, child abandonment, parent death, criminal activity
Born in 1890 to a prostitute mother and royal father who disowned her, Chuck had a rough start to life. She was given her father’s surname in order to try and force him into claiming her but it didn’t work. Her Mother raised her in the brothel she was born in until she died when Chuck was 12. The brothel madam told her she would have to start earning her keep and put her to work. She was one of the more popular girls, especially with the royal customers.
One of her regular customers turned out to be a vampire that became infatuated with keeping her for eternity. She jumped at the chance to be turned and escape the brothel in 1920. He spent the next few decades trying to tame his Tarnished Rose and, whether he meant to or not, taught her many useful skills to get by. Chuck became a thief and conwoman. She felt her maker became increasingly bored with her and ended up leaving her near New York City. While she felt he likely thought he was punishing her for not being what he envisioned, she felt she was finally free.
It didn’t take long for her to add assassin to the list of crimes she’d commit for a price. And it was that task that initially brought her to Raven’s Peak. She felt calmer and safer in this community and has repeatedly come back throughout the years.

BIOGRAPHY
TRIGGER WARNING: addiction, domestic violence, hospital
The life that Willow was born into was one of privilege and esteem. She was a Chamberlain. Anything she could have wanted or needed at her beck and call. This life came with certain expectations on her part, however. The years that her parents had spent building their empire were regularly thrown in their children’s faces and her family’s reputation had to be preserved of course. She was a Chamberlain. The fourth of seven children, it was very easy for Willow to fade into the background. Quietly going about her business. In high school, things changed. Her older siblings had started working for a financial firm her family owned when they got to high school and her father determined it was time for Willow to join them. It was time to learn the family secret. They were hunters of one of the oldest families. They had been aware of the supernatural for generations and they did their best to rid the world of the virus. This was also the same time that she started popping pills. It was an accepted practice in her world, for the most part. There were pills for anything you wanted. To keep you awake, to make you sleep, to make you happy, to make you fuck. Anything you could possibly want. The side effect being a deep addiction that was neither acknowledged nor addressed. For her 18th birthday, her family had a large party planned. Celebrating her acceptance into a prestigious college after her father made a rather large donation to their alumni fund. Willow never showed up. She had decided to go out with some friends instead and ended up passed out on someone’s couch in a part of town that her name should never have been in. The beating that her father delivered when she finally went home landed her in the hospital but it was all carefully covered. They were Chamberlains, after all, and she was held to a certain standard. Secretly, Willow purchased an old VW van that was outfitted as a camper. She had it hidden in storage along with everything she considered important to her. Which was very little. Once she had healed enough that her father deemed her presentable enough for the public, he allowed her to start school. She actually took her van and started driving west. It took her a few years before she made it to California where she figured she could get into acting. Occasionally she reached out to her siblings but as far as her parents were concerned, they now only had six children. Her older siblings seemed to follow in that lead but the younger ones would sometimes give her updates. It didn’t bother Willow much. She had moved on. The hard work and long hours that she had come to know working for her family served her well. She was able to work odd jobs for cash and earned enough to eat and live, her van serving as her home. The big break she expected never came. After a few years, she decided to travel again. Willow made her way across the country eventually finding her way to Raven’s Peak. She took a job as a waitress temporarily and figured she’d earn enough to move on. She never did. The job was good and the people were friendly enough hidden among the very people her family detested. And most importantly, she was left alone. No one expected her to do or say anything. That invisible world that had protected her as a child was finally back. Though the loneliness that came with it proved much deeper as an adult.

BIOGRAPHY
TRIGGER WARNING: drugs, sex work, child abuse, attempted murder, drowning, ptsd, death, implied overdose, adultery
There was very little that she remembered about her life before the family that took her in but none of it was good. The list of charges against her birth mother was long and quite diverse. Mollie was born into drugs and prostitution but it all paled in comparison to the event that actually ended the suffering. When she was four years old, her mother attempted to drown her in the bathtub. Mollie still has nightmares about it. While her mother had tried to kill her, it was actually she that would die that night. One too many hits and that was the end of it. When Mollie woke up, she wandered out of the hotel room that they had called home for a few weeks to find some help. Mollie tried not to think about it and throughout the rest of her childhood she never brought it up to the witch family that took her in. Instead she used those negative memories to fuel her passion for helping people. She never wanted anyone to feel as scared or alone as she had. During school she was always seen as a teacher’s pet or goody two shoes, she never let the labels stop her. She didn’t excel academically so she decided going to school would be a waste. Instead she worked at her adoptive mother’s store and learned the ins and outs of the business that way. Like any good small town girl, Mollie fell in love with and married another man from Raven’s Peak. They lived happily for many years and the problems started innocently enough. He had an issue with the fact Mollie never changed her name, she didn’t like how his family constantly brought up her birth mother. Eventually it rippled into bigger issues and Mollie was certain he had taken a mistress. She never found out if it was true and they decided they needed a trial separation. Mollie hasn’t told her friends or family about the separation and plans to keep it that way until they’ve officially decided what they are doing.

BIOGRAPHY
TRIGGER WARNING: parent death, character death, torture
Juniper’s parents were soulmates to hear her father tell it. They had met in high school and it was love at first sight. They planned out their whole life together and were married as soon as they graduated. Part of their whole life plan was to have a big family and they got started on it right away. Unfortunately, Juni’s mother didn’t survive childbirth. Her father was devastated but he did his best to raise her on his own.
It was very early on in life when she learned to care for herself and spent many hours in the library escaping into books. She decided very early that she wanted to be a librarian. Being the keeper of all of those fantasy worlds felt like the best way to spend her time.
When Juni was a teenager, her father remarried and had another child. Juni’s step-mother was always kind to her but she felt left out just the same. The only way she felt she could cope with those emotions was to connect fully with her half sibling. Juni spent most of her time caring for and doting on her sibling. She went to college close to home just to make sure she could spend time with her family. Eventually taking a job at the library of the school her sibling attended.
Getting lonely just seemed a part of Juni’s life by the time she met a handsome hunter. She started to believe there may be a life outside caring for her family. That there might be someone willing to take care of her. As hunters often do, he ended up on the wrong side of a supernatural creature's wrath and came to Juni’s door. He wasn’t going to make it. A demon came to collect his soul for hell and Juni did the only thing she could think of to save him. She took his place.
10 years in hell. A decade being tortured over and over and over. No relief in death as it would never come. Juni kept her nature when many others lost theirs quickly. She consoled and cared for the souls around her, learning who they were as humans and trying to keep them sane. She was one of the first to realize the sinkhole had opened up and, though initially she wanted to try to close it so evil couldn’t escape, she started pulling other souls with her back out into the world when she realized she couldn’t stop it. Best to get as many wrongly accused out along with the others. Back in the world, she is now searching for her loved ones and trying to keep the demons who escaped with her from causing too much mayhem.

BIOGRAPHY
TRIGGER WARNING: please state all triggers in bio hereBeing the eldest daughter in a family, and age, that favored eldest sons wasn’t the most difficult thing for Anitta. Indeed she relished the challenge it provided her. The difficulty came when her mother passed and she was the only woman her father could lean on for everything. Originally it had been the plan to be wed to one of the sons of another prominent family in town but that changed when her father was alone and grieving. Eventually he remarried and had more children.
By then Anitta was nearly too old to be married. As fate would have it, she fell in love with a man who would come through town selling various odds and ends. Her father blessed the marriage begrudgingly and she became what she had always been meant to be. A wife and mother. Anitta had several children and relished in the feeling of carrying on the family line. She assisted her step-mother in raising her siblings as well and ultimately taught them the magical arts that her mother had shared with her. It was meant to be this way.
All these years later, Anitta still can’t remember whose idea it was to attempt to break apart the stone but she had gone alone willingly. She had done her part…and she had been punished dearly for it. The illness that started seemed to be what would end her and the suffering. But she recovered and then was never sick again, unless you counted each full moon being particularly violent. She had to watch as her children grew and aged and then her grandchildren and her great grandchildren. She deserved that fate. Centuries later and Anitta still cared for and followed her lineage making sure they are well and truly cared for and safe. Most refer to her as Aunt Nitta or Auntie. It’s just the unspoken family secret.
After the events on the peak, Anitta made herself a promise that she would never again go along with a plan that she wasn’t the maker of. She became distrustful of anyone that wasn’t family and it showed in how she interacted with people. The other original families, or at the very least the Morgraves who suffered the same eternal torment as she, were tolerated if nothing more. Now she spends her days investing in her family’s businesses and traveling, keeping tabs on all of them. She’s returned to Raven’s Peak recently to check on her siblings and has decided to stay awhile given the destruction and opportunities that provides.
