History
Edda was born in 1649 in Frankfurt. Not much is known of her childhood other than she grew up amongst witches, but eventually hid her craft when she married Godwine Runne. With him, she moved to the unpopulated north of the country and lived on a farm.

Edda used her magic to bring good fortune to the farm, and yield children. Godwine was an abusive husband and would physically beat Edda when he was mad. As she had children, they were abused as well. Edda had four children with Godwine, before one night, looking for Godwine in a pub, she met another witch and the two had a child. This child was her youngest, Adelina, who became her most powerful because of her double magic lineage.

Adeline's powers manifested when she was young, and accidentally killed her father when he was in a fit of rage.

She continued to raise her family, teaching them little magic to try and keep them from the public eye.

Years passed and eventually her son Erik met a vampire. He was turned and attacked the town and killed most of its inhabitants. Edda tried to kill him using her magic, but instead lost one of her other sons. She then put a curse on her son, binding it to a stone, that he would not be able to kill without feeling the pain himself. She also used her magic to kill the vampire that had turned her son.

He vowed to retrieve the stone from his mother and then to kill them all. She feared him and so she took her remaining children and crossed the ocean to America. They settled in a colony in Pennsylvania. They became known as Heretics and so they lived further in the forest, using caves to travel out of sight. Erik followed them and turned the nearby settlement into an army of vampires.

Edda realized what would happen if he got the stone, and so she lured the vampires into her caves with her children and had her strongest daughter seal them all. She put them to sleep for years and poisoned their blood so that the vampires in the cave would not feed on their bodies.

Modern Day
Edda was awoken when the cave she had trapped the family in
