Backstory

• Nurturing Personality. It is because Geertruida was surrounded by the love of her mother, her mentors, and her siblings that being a nurturing force comes naturally to her. As a vampire, this shows through her care and wisdom towards other vampire fledglings. This rarely extends to non-vampires unless she sees their pragmatic usefulness. She is more likely to manipulate non-vampires feelings for her benefit or attempt to turn them towards the vampiric cause.
• Perfectionistic Healer. An Anglian Witch once nursed her younger brother back to health. Mesmerized by the powers of healing that Anglian Witches possessed, Geertruida joined them when she was old enough and embarked on her journey to become one of them. She was ripe with ambition and dedication, so much so, that her self-induced pressure to succeed and her inability to accept mistakes was a crushing blow. In her exhaustion, she makes an alchemical mistake in a plague-torn village that leads to a young man being permanently blind. He could no longer work the fields or bring money to his family, which led to his wife divorcing him and taking his kids away. In his depression, he despaired and eventually came to pass. This destroyed Geertruida's sense of purpose, and she, too, despaired.
• Vampiric Escape. Geertruida took many long and lonely walks into the woods at night, pushing away friends and family who tried to talk to her. She had not experienced a failure this catastrophic before. She became quiet, reclusive, and depressed in her struggle to cope with her mistake. During this time, she unknowingly encountered a vampire, disguised as an Anglian Witch, who manipulated her into false security and weaponized her emotional devastation. She became weak physically, mentally, and emotionally, and it wasn't until she was at her breaking point that the witch offered her a way out. Geetruida did not want to die, but she also did not want to suffer. Thus, she accepted and was reborn as a vampire.
• Immortality and Regalia. Unable to face her family for her decisions and cowardice, Geetruida flees to Regalia to pursue her curiosities of immortality and vampirism's history as an answer to suffering and a short lifespan. Back in Anglia, her family leaves candles on the front porch at night, hoping for their daughter's return.
