Dramatis -- Selene Caine

Name: Selene "Nott" Caine

Age: 263

Race: Vampire -- Malkavian

Selene York – who would later become Nott – was born in the year 1747 in Notting Hill, England, the first daughter of Adam York, a professor of ancient religions, and his wife Lilith York, a Parliament member's daughter. The family was surprisingly well off, Adam being from new money. Selene had a privileged childhood, she and her younger sister, Diana, being given the best of everything. At the age of twelve, Selene became an older sister again when the third York daughter, Artemis, was born.

Selene was never close to her sisters during her mortal life. She remained aloof, understanding her role better than dreamy Diana and funny Artemis. Her role was to marry and have children with little fuss. Responsibility was rather important to Selene, even if she felt burdened by the pressure of her life. Though she attempted to have a close relationship towards her father, she begrudged the fact that she was never given the same love that her sisters enjoyed. Neither of her parents was close to Selene, preferring to see that she settled into the role she soon would play. There was little reason to pamper her now that younger children were in the house. Despite her annoyance, she always wore the necklace her father had given her as a gift on her sixteenth birthday
