Kasha was born the one and only daughter to a wealthy cotton plantation owner and a sister to four brothers. Her life was a full one. Her doting father spoiled her richly leaving her to want for nothing. The finest of everything was hers for the taking. On her 20th birthday, a grand gala was thrown in her honor. Guests from all over were invited. In amongst them slipped a mysterious man from parts unknown. Kasha seemed instantly taken with the stranger, as well as her parents and siblings.
No one seemed to question his intent when he asked Kasha to join him for an unchaperoned stroll along the river. They talked of many things but yet nothing at all. Nothing like his real intention to get her alone. As she gazed up at the bright Harvest moon, he struck. Plunging his fangs into her young, fair flesh. He drank his fill of her life force until her mortal heart began to slow. Without care or regard, he made a small incision on his throat. She was cradled close as he brought her mouth to the wound.
As if some feral beast had awoken in a fury, her newborn fangs drove into his throat. Swallow after swallow was made of her new Sire's blood. Her bite deepening with every draught. Feeling his strength begin to wain, Jeremy had to pry his progeny from his neck. Bloodlust and confusion swam through Kasha as she looked up at him. Within moments, her body went through its torment of getting rid of all its mortal effects. Her Sire let her go as though he did not want to be tainted by the process. Even through the humiliating transformation, she could feel the lust for more blood.
Jeremy never looked back as he walked away from his fledgling childe. Never stopping to explain what he had done, what she was now, or more importantly why. His only parting words advised her to find darkness before sunrise.
After recomposing herself as well as possible, Kasha began making her way back home. As dawn approached, she soon learned the reason for her Sire's one piece of advice. Her flesh begain to smoke and sizzle, causing unbelievable pain. She quickly found protection in a nearby cave. For three days, she took shelter until the hunger drove her out seeking food. Her first attempts were awkward but the animals served as a good starting point.
It was during that time someone found her. Someone who would teach her, mold her in the ways of the Brujah...and more. Nivek mentored Kasha for 46 years. She found she had quite a gift for thievery and debauchery. He tutored her in being able to skillfully track victims and other Kindred unnoticed. During her feedings, she would sometimes feel the Beast overtake her sense of reason. But Nivek was never far away and would guide her back. Their time together was violent and passionate. Then one day he was gone. Nivek left her as abruptly as he'd found her. No love was lost. But for a time, she bore and abundance of hate.
Her unlife brought her many opportunities. Opportunities that would have once horrified the dignified, pious Southern belle. Kasha has managed to acquire a veritable dragon's horde of money and treasures. Though to gaze upon her typically rebellious appearance, one would not believe it. Over the years, she has fought many and defended herself to the best of her ability. In the heat of a couple "to-the-death" battles, she found she was not above diabolerie, furthering her skills and power...even at the risk of a hunt being put on her head. To her, some people didn't deserve to live. They were a waste of flesh and space.
For now, and for as long as it entertains her, she will court the Beast within...taking all that she wants, and all that she desires by any means necessary. |
