History: The druidic presence in Crimson dates back nearly to the casting of Louis Lancaster's curse. The priests of the time became attuned to the emerging supernatural phenomenon in the town, and several left Europe simply to keep their fingers on the pulsepoint of the community. Generations later, their line still was producing descendants, the most recent of which, Louisah McCreery, was born on May 16, 1980.

Her father had been a policeman, before his somewhat untimely death, and her mother a quilter who dabbled in various other handicrafts to sell at fairs and Christmas markets. Superficially, the definition of a quaint, modest background. In private, however, shrouded in a mask of unsuspicious secrecy, the somber McCreery daughter was being raised to carry on time-honored traditions, taught to rely on passed-down knowledge, and told some of the myriad secrets of the town where she was born.

Louisah's education was mostly practical, as the religion itself was in its modern incarnation. She was introduced to philosophical schools of thought, and the herbological sciences, as well as more archaic subjects, such as the interpreting of ogham characters and how to read the night skies. Lousiah was being trained as a druid, a priestess of the ancient Celtic religion. As she grew up, Louisah found that she was passionate about her predestined role. She loved the questions of humanity and earth and spritual essence she was allowed to ask herself.

Many other people though Louisah to have an open, intimate way about her, an honesty that ensnared others. Though she was always diminutive, her adult height peaking at 5'3", Louisah was able to conduct eloquent discussions from a young age, obviously one to prefer an intellectual challenge over a physical one. As such, she was socially awkward during adolescence-- it wasn't just her abnormal (perhaps overly mature) way of interacting with her peers, but also the abstinance from any romantic or physical relationships that her clergical future required. However, Louisah was content. Perhaps too content with a life that was not without its flaws.

By the age of 20, Louisah had learned essentially all she could from anyone other than the great mentors of life and real experience. Though Louisah had been performing a druidess's basic function since she was a young woman, it was then that she began functioning without mentoring. The fact of the matter was that she had a natural disposition for the lot she'd been drawn-- she would say that it was because the hands of fate knew what they were doing. However, as self-fulfilling prophecies often go, the charm wore off. Mere months after her symbolic ordination into her title, Louisah began furtively questioning her own beliefs.

Today Louisah is a young woman of twenty-five who has almost completely lost confidence in faith. She is still as smart as ever, able to debate and advise and philosophise better than ever, but the theology has lost her. As a day job, she works at her ailing aunt's bakery, a business she stands to inherit once said aunt dies, though Louisah is no more looking forward to that day than her aunt is. By night, Louisah still practices all the rites she was taught to, upholding the principles of purity and chastity and service to nature, but she feels herself slipping away.

STORYLINES
flows there like wine: The first (and, as yet, only) vampire ever to feed on Louisah. Obviously they chose not to kill her, but Louisah still feels a deep-seated resentment toward him or her for victimizing her that way. Louisah does not practice revenge, but she wishes she could- she cannot be violent, which makes her an easy target.

run on for a long time: Louisah has never questioned how her father died. She was told he was killed in an accident while on patrol not long before she turned two. He was actually a victim of one of Crimson's supernatural residents, which is where this person comes in. If Louisah ever discovers that the stories don't actually line up, she'll be looking for him or her.

black flowers blossom: Louisah's crisis of faith, as it were, leads her to taking a lover though her religious education forbade it rather expressly. There is no emotion- the physical aspect is just a replacement for the lost spiritual one, but Louisah quickly finds herself relying on it for that reason.

until the end: Over time, it has been proven that Louisah can go through friends quickly, having an over-active sense of betrayal. However, this person is a close, dear friend who has never given her any reason to feel wronged.
