BACKGROUND:
Torino, circa the beginning of the 20th century, comprised one of Italy's main industrial hubs. Estella's father worked for FIAT and was able to provide a comfortable life for his wife and five children, the youngest of which was Estella. Her entire life up until adulthood was spent being spoiled by her father. She was his crown jewel, and her siblings resented her for that. It was not her fault though. She did not take advantage of her father's wealth, but, rather respected his hard work and devoted herself to the happiness of her parents, things her siblings could not do.
The Lisi family was extremely religious and devoted to their faith. However, that trend was fading with the younger generation. Stories of the occult and darkness frequently made up for discussion. They were often chastised for this when it became known by parents or the Church what they were talking about.
In 1927, Estella became engaged to a race car driver. Michele Lippi was the lucky fellow and was Estella's father's protege wich began from their days at FIAT. August 23 will forever be remembered by Estella. It was the night before her wedding. She was visiting the grave of her grandfather when a vampire, prowling the night, attacked her from behind and bit into her soft, velvety neck. Succumbed by the pain and the pleasure of it, Estella drank from the vampire as well.
Days later, she awoke in an abandoned warehouse. Overcome with the need to feed, she feasted on the first people she saw. She was torn with the guilt of taking away the lives of people who belonged to some family and the pleasure of the rush that came from the blood flowing through her veins.
Throughout the years, Estella was plagued by her father's grief over the disappearance of his daughter. Neither he nor his family would know what ever happened to her. It killed her emotionally to know that she could not take care of her father. She could not let him know what she had become for he was a stern Catholic and would certainly do away with her evil, even if it meant taking away the life of his daughter. Vampires, her father once said, symbolized death and darkness. Not even the Lord could bring back their souls.
Fearing those words, she left for France in 1933 where she took solace of the mountains and the powdered snow. Growing up in Torino eased her transition from little girl to champion skiier.
But Estella had one malicious trait. She was easily overcome by seduction and lust. The chase resulting from the hunt and the feeling of the blood from drinking were too much for her to control. She knew she had an intoxicating power over men and used it for her personal gains. Her feasts were meticulous. Planning the details out of her attacks amused her. The days spent in the mechanical engineering department at FIAT were not all for naught. She took pride in her work.
Before the onset of the war, Estella voyaged to the US. She had heard about it from tourists and was eager to feast in a different environment. Once in New York, she met up with an individual named Damien. She didn't dare sire him, for he was too powerful for her. She knew this by learning the hard way. Together they unleashed their inner repressions on the upscale societies in Manhattan, Greenwich and the East Coast.
In 1967, Estella and Damien parted ways after he hadn't come home for two weeks. Spurned by the loss of another male presence in her life, Estella fled to South America and its mountains.
She resurfaced in 1990 in Colorado, USA. Hungry from the lack of game over the past twenty years, Estella embarked on a quiet rampage, amassing a pack of female vampires along the way, all sired by her. For Estella, could not stand the work of other vampires. She was too vain to accept the beauty of other works of art.
In 2002, she encountered Kieran. For months on end, they played a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse. She was taken by the despair in his demeanour. His indifference to life and his addiction to the unknown intrigued her. After a few bouts, where they both came close to killing each other, Estella developed a bond for Kieran. She became attached to him. After his refusal to be sired and his subsequent throwing her out a window, Estella vowed to kill him. But she couldn't. She pitied him. She longed for a male presence in her life and followed him to LA, hoping that if she couldn't get him, that the game would continue.
POWERS/ABILITIES:
Estella has all the supernatural strength of a vampire of her years plus an enduring knowledge and skill for the martial arts.
