The Life of Cordelia 1884-1906
As a human, Cordelia was rambunctious and out of control, constantly getting into heaps of trouble and disgracing her family. She was from a family of wealth and stature, but instead of settling down and making a family to carry on a name in honor, Cordelia chose to drink herself to sleep nearly every night, waking up in the late afternoon, far too late for the meeting of needlepoint.
She grew a reputation that chased away any suitors of possible decency, and it was rumored that she could even out drink a man. It was April 9, 1906, her twenty-second birthday, when Cordelia decided to take a shortcut home from the local tavern, stumbling and sick with glee.
She slowed her pace to a lulling walk, whistling a drunken tune to herself. Before long, she found herself wishing to be in bed more than anything. She turned a corner, dimly lit by an oil-lamp, and stared longingly across an alleyway that seemed to be begging for her to cross through and slide into her cozy warm bed, laying adjacent with the street if she just crossed into the alley.
Cordelia never had bothered with any shortcuts before, mainly out of irrational fear. She had gotten into heaps of undesirable situations before, but for some reason, an accidental fall into a trap mesmerized her into the point of terror. She stepped with as much caution as any drunken woman could, which was not much, and slowly made her way into the alley.
She heard a crunch of glass, not from her light padded footing, but from another. A man stood before her after she turned, largely obese and tall. Around his lips was the ruby stain of blood, which at the time, Cordelia assumed as lipstick from a whore, or an incredibly rare steak.
Looking back, she vaguely remembered whispering, “Take it. It’s all I have left.” At the time, she was certain she was referring to her pocket filled with coins, but now reminiscing, it could have been anything. Her shame, her stubborn pride, her everything negative that was constantly pricking the back of her mind.
Instead, the bulky man took her life. She had made it back home before dawn had hit, but when her parents found out what kind of monster the young woman had become, she was forced to leave. Before becoming what she was, she was only a disgrace. Now, she was an absolute abomination. A death was faked, and the vampire moved to Europe, first to London, then a quaint town in Ireland, and then back to the hills of Britain, where she remained for decades.

The Birth of Shina 1906-
After dropping the name Cordelia, the young vampiress went from alias to alias, finally deciding on the name Shina. In 1939, she was married in a chapel on the hills of Britain’s countryside, her name Shina Rosher, married and in love with young aspiring businessman William Rosher. Instead of settling down, William was enlisted into the army for the Allied Powers of World War II, and was killed in combat four months after their blissful marriage.
Then, after a year of silence and absolute solitude, Shina left her home and went straight to Germany, where she listened to a speech delivered by Hitler himself. It was at this very occasion where Shina met Frozen Nova, who later became one of her closest friends.
Shina could not handle the memories that had shaped her in Britain, so she packed up and left for Boston, her hometown. It was 1948 when she finally moved back into an apartment in the city, a twenty-minute walk from Fenway Park. Since becoming a vampire, she went to public outings as such less and less to avoid the chances of a public feeding, and tended to stay alone.
She lived for fifty years or so as a street-artist, out in the night to paint scenes of hopeful displays across brick. In 2004, Shina once again picked up her favorite items and left her home again, looking for more people like her, where she wouldn’t have to live with guilt and shame. She rented out her apartment to a young couple and moved onward, finally stumbling along the dimly lit Ravenblack City, which welcomed her with its open, dark arms.

Enter Ravenblack City: the City of Sin and Wonder
Shina entered the city as a bar-dweller, much like her younger days. It was there that she met her friends Frozen Nova, FemaleKyo, and a man who went by the name of Deylin. He was just like her, except a boy, very flamboyantly homosexual, and more outgoing.
One day, Shina noticed something different. Deylin had grown faster, more perceptive and observant of his surroundings…he had made a family that met outside of the bars. And Shina was incredibly jealous. Deylin had something to live for. Shina had a handful of friends and a few pints of blood on her, but Deylin…he was able to drink blood faster, rob people of their money, do amazing things the young vampiress never dreamed of being able to do.
And one day, Deylin offered to sire her. A real ceremony, an occasion that would strengthen not only her name, but herself. Shina quickly agreed to this, and soon, Frozen Nova joined the pair, Deylin proclaiming them as his twin babies. Shina was swelling with pride, and she immediately met many of Deylin’s friends, shy and afraid.
One man who terrified her especially, however, went by the name of Andre D’dary. It was rumored that he had the largest ego in the city, and her newest friend, BladeOfRayne, gushed to Shina that she simply had to meet him. The young woman however, ran from him, tavern to tavern, and finally he caught up with her by gaining access of her personal phone number. After calming her down, he offered her both coin and the opportunity to join a family that seemed to gleam with prestige. Shina took his offer after three days of deliberation, and severed from Deylin’s line.
After becoming a D’dary, Shina powered up quickly. Soon, she was nearly as fast as Deylin, and slowly but surely became more extroverted, making more friends. Shina had gained and lost a lover in a short expanse of time, and it was then that she decided she wouldn’t bind to a woman again.
Daly. He was her life, and she would have gladly given it to him if he had asked. The two times she had died for her love of him, however, he hadn’t asked. And he never would have asked her to, it was just something she felt she should do. They raised a family together, the Costigans and the Daly lines joining together. It was perfect for five months of harmony, and then they severed. Shina never truly got over him until April of 2009, after an embarrassingly brief stint of death stretching four months, when she began to heal.

"Other things may change us, but we start and end with family" Belzebub has been Shina's sire for a number of months now, and had once started out as simply a battle trainer. Later on, Belz became her confidant, and Shina was more than happy to be accepted into the Moordenaar line. Caelestis has shown Shina that he deserves everything that he goes after. Unspoiled and hardworking, Caelestis’ sarcastic streak and odd-colored sense of humor always keeps Shina in perfect sanity. His unwavering loyalty has been a strong reason of why Shina trusts him so much, and she loves him the most out of all her childer, but desperately tries to hide that small secret from Chazz, Chazzity, Ryu and Charles. Chazz was but a small vampire when Shina ran across him. She sired him almost immediately after meeting the boy, his mind juvenile and at the equivalent of a five-year old’s. Later on, Shina found out that Chazz Ryu had four personalities with different physical forms to match. Ryu, the stoic, calm man, was the second-most seen, only below Chazz. He awkwardly resembles kaio. Chazzity, the woman, is one who loves to pull at the hearts of men, and then shift into one of the males. Charles is rarely seen, incredibly lazy, and possibly on narcotics. Shina loves each and every personality to pieces, and would gladly give anything to protect them.Although he was never sired under her, Shina had considered Uriah a son since being bound with Daly. Their relationship grew until the bond was incredibly strong. At one point, after Shina and Daly severed, their relationship fell apart. When they got closer, Shina entrusted her childer to Uriah when she took her leave. When she returned, Caelestis and Uriah were much in love, much to Shina’s surprise and happiness, and once more Uriah had become the son that she remembered. At one point in time, Shina was directly connected to the Adaire matriarch as both a childe and a childe of her then-husband; Andre. Annabelle taught her many things, such as to always show forgiveness, but never forget pain. Shina will always look to Annabelle as her mother-figure and the woman who helped to raise her the most.

"Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together" Frozen Nova Adaire Quinn is a friend Shina will never let go, no matter what comes between them. Once true sisters, the pair of them had gotten along since their arrivals to the city. They couldn't believe it when they saw each other's familiar faces, having once seen each other at a speech in the 1940's. From the time they stepped foot in Ravenblack, Shina and Nova prove to be the bond Shina will always rely on. In a moment of drunken clarity, Nova, Kyo, and Shina became bloodsisters.
FemaleKyo is the same way Nova was, and is coveted just the same. Kyo and Shina had never met outside of the City, but with small plans that involved them both when they were quite young, Shina found herself drawn to Kyo in close friendship. In an idea of haste and drunkenness, Kyo, Nova and Shina sealed their relationship as bloodsisters.
Inu and Shina have been through a lot. A lot of love, laughter, and a lot of hurt. Bloodsisters, Shina and Inu have been nearly inseparable since Shina's becoming of Deylin's childe. She helped Shina through severances and even became her sister once. Inu introduced her to her sire, Belzebub, and for that is eternally grateful. After the falling out they had over Daly, Shina is very nervous to put all of her trust into Inu again, and thinks of trying to fall away from her.
Blade is someone Shina met through Deylin. Having a crush on her countless times, she is a friend Shina has met and re-met over and over, their relationship always unraveling and restarting. Shina loves Blade, though, and will always think of her as a friend.
Naimira was once bound with Shina for a very short time-period. With laughter, fun and lots of not making any remote sense, Shina and Nai remain on good terms and hopefully always will.

PERSONALITY Shina has always been one who has two sides: a polite, shy persona when she's nervous, and a loud, rambunctious and usually cheery one when she's comfortable. Her louder side usually comes out around her friends and sometimes family. Shina is loyal to those she extends her trust to, and expects the same in return. When she is let down or disappointed, it shows. She doesn't bother to hide her emotions or bottle them up, when they come, she lets them be expressed. After certain occurrences, however, Shina has been rather reluctant to display trust. She sees Caelestis, Belzebub, Frozen Nova, Kyo and Chazz as her go-to friends and family. Shina's biggest flaw is running away. Whenever something goes wrong, or could be potentially catastrophic, Shina makes the quickest and most painless decision to run from whatever it is that hurts her. She lost family that way, and in a way regrets doing so. Never afraid to die, always afraid of being hurt. That has always been her way.
