Personality

She's Beauty: Annabelle takes no small amount of pride in her looks, and can be rather vain when she isn't on a hunt. She's also not above using her looks and charm to get what she wants out of people.

She's Grace: Annabelle is rather prim and proper, always carrying herself with her head held high, and mindful of proper etiquette. Tries her best to be polite and courteous to those she meets, and is always willing to lend a hand to those in need. Can be a bit high stung and uptight.

She'll Shoot You In The Face: Despite everything, Annabelle is not afraid to get her hands dirty, especially when it comes to the supernatural. She's not one to back down from a challenge, or a good hunt. And she loves the thrill of the chase.


Additional Information
Quirk: Is a bit weirded out and confused by modern day technology. Tends to be cold, and even rude when it comes to speaking with supernatural creatures, with the exception of angels.

History

Date of Birth
February 23rd, 1803
Place of Birth
London, England
Annabelle was born into an old money noble family in England near the turn of the 1800's. Being the youngest daughter, she was never in line for any noble titles, in fact the best she could hope for was being married off to one of England's other noble families. Something that never sat quite right with her.

Her mother could sense her discontentment with this lot, and arranged for her to spend a year with an uncle of hers in Ireland in hopes that a change of scenery might improve her mood. And while things were difficult at first, the trip did give her three things. An interest in swordsmanship and marksmanship, and an interest in the occult. Over the next few years her uncle would slowly refine her talents until she was among the best and brightest in the former categories by the time she was 16.

At which point, her uncle introduced her to his world. The world of a little group known as the Order of Longinus. And by all accounts, Annabelle made an excellent huntress, killing numerous werewolves, vampires, and other foul beasts across England in a two year campaign of violence.

When a request for aid from a branch of the Order in the, now former, colonies, it only seemed to make sense for Annabelle to go. After all, it wouldn't make sense to send a veteran hunter on what seemed like a fairly easy mission to flush out a weak demon that had been causing some bad dreams. Of course, the mission wasn't that simple. The "demon" she was sent to hunt was actually an Eldritch Horror that fed on dreams. Hopes, fears, aspirations.. All of it was food to the Eater of Dreams.

Annabelle's arrival did complicate things, and triggered what could only be described as a cat and mouse game across the country, as Anna flushed him out wherever he tried to hide. However, despite her best efforts, she was never able to beat, or even harm him. Along the way, she learned his true name Bentilzorcarh. And a way to defeat him once and for all.

This set up a final confrontation in a small frontier stopover in the mountains of Oregon. A town that would later come to be known as Polaris Pass.

The battle would be long and violent, but Annabelle would triumph. Or so it seemed. In a last, desperate gasp to escape, Bentilzorcarh opened a tear in space and time itself in an attempt to escape, dragging the young huntress along with it.

When Annabelle came too, she was shocked to discover that 200 years had passed since her fateful encounter with the beast. And worse, the nightmares that had become Bentilzorcarh's trademark were back. Though unknown to her, this time they were caused by a small fragment of the monster that had broken off in the battle. A part that Bentilzorcarh will come looking for.. One day.
