● TWENTY FIVE ● WEREWOLF ● CIS FEMALE ● NURSE ●

"And I've been a fool and I've been blind I can never leave the past behind."

Qhuinn was born in New Orleans, Louisiana to Odessa and James Fontenot. She was the youngest of two girls, her sister Meghan having been born two short years before. Qhuinn and her sister had a very happy, normal childhood. Or as normal as living in an antebellum home be. The girls were tomboys, each had their own horse that they would ride to the neighboring homes, and spent their days riding and climbing trees. Qhuinn was a happy girl, bright, kind, and unusually beautiful. But she always felt a little out of step with her deeply, almost fanatically, religious parents. Yet all she needed was her sister and her horse Absinthe to be happy. But all good things must come to an end. Qhuinn’s world crashed down around her when she was fifteen, and her beloved sister and best friend died at seventeen of leukemia. Qhuinn was lost. Her sister was her anchor, her compass, and she didn’t know which way to turn now. Her parents, on the other hand, turned even more to their church, leaving the grieving, confused teen to her own devices. Feeling like she had no one else to turn to, Qhuinn fell in with the ‘bad crowd’ at school and started to rebel. Drinking, smoking, drugs..you name it, Qhuinn was willing to try it. In time though, with the help of her grandmother who lived with them, Qhuinn was thankfully able to pull herself out of her tailspin.

  She knew Meghan would have been be horrified at her behavior, and tried her hardest, for her late sister’s sake, to get her act together. She ended up graduating with honors, and much to her parent’s delight, enrolled in the nursing program at Tulane University. All seemed well in Qhuinn’s world for a good few years after that. But, once again, fate had other plans for her.

  Qhuinn adjusted easily to college life. She liked the busy pace of classes and her work at the local clinic, and the sense of having a purpose. She was quick to make friends, and though she did still smoke, she no longer did drugs. She had a good group of close friends, and one of the things they did was go out for drinks every Friday night. It was their opportunity to catch up and fill each other in on the events of their week. It was during one of these normal nights that Qhuinn noticed a man staring at her most of the night. He was the quintessential tall, dark, and handsome, with a mysterious air that intrigued her. Not one to be shy, Qhuinn didn’t need much liquid courage in her before she approached the man. After more drinks and some heavy flirting, the deal was sealed and they headed outside to have sex. Her friends noticed her leave, but didn’t think much of it when she never returned. It wasn’t unusual for the beautiful girl to get caught up in a one-night stand. But this one would change her life. Drunk and out of control, the man was rough, almost brutal, and the sex that started off as consensual didn’t stay that way for long. Luckily, the petite but resourceful nurse was able to knock her attacker out with a discarded wine bottle, escaping before she was seriously injured. Or so she thought..

  Qhuinn knew she should have called her friends for a ride, but was humiliated, exhausted, and just wanted to go home. She took a shortcut through a small park, and was almost to her nearby apartment when a dog came out of nowhere and attacked her. Only, it was no ordinary dog. Unknown to Qhuinn, the man that she’d knocked out was a werewolf, and he was back for revenge. Her last conscious thought, as she lay wounded on the ground, was how beautiful the full moon was.. Luckily, her attacker was chased off and she was sniffed out and found by another, kinder werewolf, who tended to her wounds and in the morning, told her what she now was. Stunned and lost, Qhuinn went back to the one place that she hoped she could find the love and help she needed: home. But she wasn’t so lucky. Her parents took one look at their altered daughter and became certain that the devil himself was now in Qhiunn, and that her wicked ways had caused this. They told her never to return to their home again.

  Lost and alone, Qhuinn scraped together her meager savings and fled the country. She made it all the way to Ireland, and lived there actually quite happily for about three months. But then came more devastating and life-changing news: her parents had been killed in a car accident. Stunned, Qhuinn returned home to settle her family’s estate. She stayed in her old childhood home for several weeks, unsure of where to turn to next, when she suddenly remembered a town she had passed through countless times in her life. Saintes. Which was now..a safe haven for supernaturals. Like herself. It seemed like the perfect place where she could go and try to live her life as best as she could now, and maybe, hopefully, learn more about what she was.
