DATE OF TRANSFORMATION: March 11, 2006, at age 16
SOURCE OF TRANSFORMATION: Victoria
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Las Vegas, Nevada
HAIR COLOR: Dark brown
EYE COLOR: Brown (human); bright red/black (newborn vampire) HEIGHT: 5‘1?
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Bree had a slight build.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: She did not possess a quantifiable supernatural ability.
FAMILY/COVEN RELATIONSHIPS: Bree belonged to Riley‘s coven of newborns.
Bree believed that her mother left her abusive father when Bree was four; in fact, Bree‘s father murdered her mother.
PERSONAL HISTORY:
Bree was born in Nevada, but lived in Idaho for most of her life. Bree believed that her mother left her abusive father when Bree was four; in fact, Bree‘s father murdered her mother.
He buried the body in the desert, then packed up and moved to Idaho with his young daughter.
Because of the abuse, Bree felt isolated from her peers. She was a quiet, withdrawn girl. No one ever noticed the signs of her abusive home life, despite some physical evidence. Finally, Bree ran away from home a few weeks before her sixteenth birthday. She had enough money for the bus ride to Seattle, but nothing more. She tried unsuccessfully to get a job, and began stealing in order to eat. She slept in parks and alleys — wherever she could find a place that felt a little bit safe. Her biggest fear was that the police would catch her and send her home to her father. She‘d been on the run for less than three weeks when Riley found her digging through a trash bin behind a restaurant.
What Bree never knew was that her mother‘s body had been discovered outside of Las Vegas, and the police tracked down her father a few months after she ran away. When he could not produce Bree, he was tried and found guilty of both murders.
OTHERS MEMBERS OF RILEY‘S COVEN
ADAM After discovering that the sun does not injure vampires, Adam revealed his discovery to Riley. He was killed by Victoria.
CASEY Known to Bree as the ?Spider-Man kid,? Casey was a recruit suggested to Riley by Raoul, who had worked with him when they were human.
DOUG Doug was the first newborn to discover that the sun did not harm vampires. He went to Riley with his breakthrough and was killed by Victoria.
JEN Jen was Kristie‘s closest colleague.
KEVIN A member of Raoul‘s faction, Kevin was Raoul‘s second in command. Kevin was a part of Raoul‘s human gang, too, and was taken by Riley upon Raoul‘s suggestion. Riley asked Kevin if he wanted to join Raoul.
KRISTIE Kristie was Raoul‘s main competitor in the newborn coven. She did not have his ability to gain followers through magnetism alone, but she was smarter than Raoul, and better able to manipulate others.
SARAH Sarah did not like working closely with any of the other newborns, but she preferred Kristie‘s crowd to Raoul‘s.
