Character Information:
Full Name: Carolyn Antonette Edwards
Nickname: Anya, Carol, Ana
Species: Witch
Powers: Antonette is a practitioner of necromancy. She can thusly manipulate the dead, including to a certain point vampires (since they are technically undead), manipulate life-force and souls to resurrect the dead or haunt people. She's found a way to remain young for a lot longer than what's natural, even for a witch due to her ability to absorb others life force. Over the years, she's worked up quite the repertoire of poisons so be careful if she invited you to dinner, you might find yourself poisoned and reanimated for her purposes. She's most powerful in cemeteries, but she's found ways to utilize her powers for other things that doesn't need to be surrounded by dead to work. An example of this is the ability to induce pain on others for her own pleasure.

Personality: Having learned at a young age to conceal her abilities, Antonette is now quite good at keeping secrets, even from the most skilled extractor. She can play quite dumb and silly whenever she doesn't want to answer a question and coy and flirtatious when she wants an answer. Death is something she is quite familiar with, and quite fond of as it's her source of power. As long as people keep dying, she has learned she can keep remaining young and who wouldn't want to be forever young without being a vampire? Mercy is a thing for the weak and she really doesn't like to be thought of that way. Redemption is a foreign concept and she can be quite spiteful towards her enemies.

History:
Antonette used to be a kind and gentle girl, until she found out she wasn't like other kids. She didn't know what she was doing, and kind of freaked out when she killed her dog by accidentally draining it of its life force. When she got a little older, she started to experiment with her magic in secret as her parents wouldn't accept what she was if they knew the truth. It turned out her grandmother was a witch though and she took the girl in to be a proper lady and learn at her estate in peace and quiet.
She lived a relatively normal life for a witch at the estate, until her grandmother got sick and asked that she take her life force from her. The lady was old anyway, and Antonette hadn't aged a day the past ten years she'd lived there. After the death of her grandmother and inheriting the estate for herself, the witch secluded herself and learned a great deal. She studied poisons, antidotes and law. She passed her exam with flying colors once she was ready for it, and it really wasn't like she was in a hurry to get things done. Apparently she had plenty of time to do whatever she wanted. She was fifty and still looked as young as ever.
The witch was lost, didn't quite know what to do next when she was approached by a vampire. He convinced her to sell her estate and come with him, and she did. He even let her practice her magic on him to learn more and eventually he gave her a job and a nice place to live in Louisiana. A house by a swamp, allowing her to practice her magic freely and dump the evidence. Now she works mainly with real estate law, but she still keeps her poisons handy for when she might need them. Eventually she adopted the name Carolyn to be more modern as people looked oddly at her when she was introduced as Antonette in this modern day world.
