Back Story
Es was stolen from the Elvin realm when she was a child and brought to Russia, where she was sold like an pet. To keep from being mistreated, she learned to entertain her many owners. She’s been in the human realm for over a century, and has lived in many countries. She adapted to each one and learned to speak the various languages.
Es’s last owner was a brute of a man who won her in a card game. At the time, she was known as Eevette. He moved to New York City where she met Racolo. Racolo would sneak her out of her apartment, whenever her owner drank too much. During this time, vampires were terrorizing the city streets. Eevette and Racolo discovered they made a good team fighting against them. She was fearless, quick thinking, and had street smarts. He had a talent for magic.
Her owner was unusually cheerful when he found out about her pregnancy - until she gave birth. Then he locked her and her newborn son in a cage. When she fell asleep,
he stole the baby. He knew elf babies were worth a lot of money. He sold it to the highest bidder, but before he did, he tattooed ‘Li ‘ on the it’s chest. Eevette has the same tattoo - for her favorite song 'Lithium' by Nirvana.
A Vampire
When Eevette woke up and discovered what her owner had done, she was beside herself. She couldn't fight him in her present state. She befriended an ancient vampire, knowing that the older he was, the stronger he could make her. She offered him a deal; bring her over and she’d invite him to feast on her owner. The vampire agreed.
Love
Hunting vampires wasn’t the only thing they were good at - Eevette knew Racolo liked her right from the start. She liked flirting with him but never planned to get involved with this teenager. He pursued her until it paid off. The two were in a passionate relationship that lasted three years.
Racolo lived with his grandmother, *Qualina, who had became ill. She made arrangements for him to board at Magick School, in a far-off land. When Racolo told Eevette, she became furious and broke off their relationship. He left but promised to come back for her. She didn't believe him. She had just found out she was pregnant. She never told him. She planned to, but didn’t want him to stay with her just because of the baby.
So Eevette got her revenge, and in the process found out about the tattoo, a way to identify her son. Her owner was never heard from again.
The Famous Vampir-Es
Eevette changed her name to Esmodonti and became known as the famous vampir-Es. She searched for her son but couldn’t find a trail. He was lost to her, as was Racolo. She wanted to hide away and forget her past. She decided to live in the home of the Lady with the Dog. Mez had written an article that was published in a magazine. Es read it and was intrigued. She snuck into the bathroom window where she was promptly caught by the Lady. After a brief conversation it was decided Es could join the Crew on one condition, no feeding in the house. For the first time in her life Es was free.
Then Racolo and Lithium arrived. Lithium had magically found his father and brought him to Es. Racolo was not
happy to see her. He hated that she had become a vampire and accused her of selling his son for profit. For a long time, he refused to listen to her side of the story.
Motherhood
Racolo had custody of Lithium and didn't want Es to have contact with him. So, Lithium took matters into his own hands. One evening, when Es rose from her coffin, Lithium was waiting for her. He had magically blinked himself into her room. It was love at first sight.
Es loves being a mama and Racolo had to admit that she’s very devoted, but she was limited to early mornings and bed time. He found a way to magically cure some of her vampirism so she’s able to stay awake during the day and enjoy the sunshine with their son.
A Potion, A Spell, and A Wedding
Es was tricked by *Herita into a drinking a potion that gave her an unnatural need to feed. Herita’s plan was to have Es make her a vampire. She didn’t know the potion would have a delayed effect on Es. Instead of Herita - Es fed off Zyfan nearly killing him. Syrrah felt Es was too dangerous to live among the Crew anymore. She had *Usagi, a necromancy, place Es under a sleep spell . While Es slept, Racolo realized how important she was to him. He was desperate to wake her. It was decided that Io, the genie, was the answer. Daprima made a wish and Es woke up. Racolo createda magical tattoo to prevent outside magic from affecting her ever again, but before he did, he gave her the ability to enjoy sunlight. Then they got married.
Cammeo
- was Lithium's nanny. She and Es have had their issues, but they always managed to put them aside when it came to Lithium. When Es was first reunited with her son, she felt inadequate as a mother. Cammeo, who has a way with children, became her mentor.
Daprima
Es isn't the type that sees any benefit to having female friends. However, after Es slept with Mez, Daprima's brother, she and Daprima reached an understanding that developed into friendship. Daprima is her only real girl friend. Still, Es is much more comfortable with the guys.
Jesse - and Es are good friends. In the past, they were friends with benefits. He’s learned to depend on her for advice.
Mez - Es had the pleasure of being Mez's 'first' and because of this, she very protective of him.
Things became extra tense when Es dated Trey before Racolo and Es were married. Trey was more than Racolo’s mentor at Magick School, he was also his professor. Es didn’t see any problem with this and enjoyed herself for as long as it lasted.
Karanthir
When Es arrived, she and Karanthir enjoyed a flirty, sexual relationship. Over time, they became best friends. They each 'live in the moment' and are both vampires. Es knows Karanthir better than anyone else, it was she who first told him he was in love with Zyfan.
* Herita, Qualina, Trey, and Usagi are no longer living in the home of the Lady with the Dog.
