Empress Cassandra Ravenbelle Von Blackraven

born 1469 as Cassandra "Cassie" Raven in the last years of Medieval London. Cassie was (and still is) a beautiful and irresistible redhead with a creamy skin and green eyes. She was raised by a Nanny since her father was a wealthy tradesman while her mother was a wellknown theater actress. Her mother encourages her interest in art, dance and vocals and Cassie got a singing teacher at the age of 6.

At age 17 Cassie started to sing on private parties for the wealthy citizens. She soon became famous cause of her clear sweet voice. One of her first admirers was Lord Raphael Von Blackraven, the owner of Blackraven Castle. Cassie instantly liked him. Raphael was like the older brother she never had. Rafa, as Cassie called him, introduced her to his famous friends in the young entertainment industry.

What Cassie didn't know, Rafa was a vampire of the Clan of Toreador.

Rafa admires Cassie more and more the longer he got to know her. He already sworn in front of a painting of Arikel the sculptor which hangs in a hidden area of Blackraven Castle that at the next Carnivale he'll give the Embrace to Cassie to preserve her beauty and talent forever.

The next Carnivale took place in 1494.

Rafa invited Cassie to the Grand Midsummer Ball of Blackraven Castle to celebrate Midsummer Night with him and his friends. Cassie accepted the invitation not knowing that this night will change her life forever.

During the night Cassie was granted the Embrace. Cassie was given the name of Empress Ravenbelle by Rafa and Blackraven Castle got her new home for the first years of her vampyre life. Cassie had trouble to satisfy her hunger in the first weeks and so, Rafa feed her. But over the weeks she learned not only to satisfy her bloodthirst, but also more about herself like changing eyecolor (to glowing gold) when transforming.

Ravenbelle is socially classified as both Poseur (embraced for their physical beauty) and Artiste (embraced for their artistic skill).
