History:
Ásta Bjarnhéðinsdóttir was not a kind woman, she cared little for others, only for herself. She crave the exotic and the dangerous. This lead her down a dark path, and she was eventually 'claimed' by a vampire. He was everything Ásta had ever wanted in a man: dark mysterious, powerful. Bit of an asshole, but she didn't mind that part too much. She did everything for him, his loyal pet. One day he just vanished into thin air. The woman was left lonely and pregnant, and eventually made her way back to her family. It was not an easy pregnancy, and it ended early. Karólína Ástasdóttir was born two weeks early by c-section. Ásta did not survive the process.
For the first few years of her life, Karólína seemed relatively normal. Anemia was a frequent complication, but could be treated with supplements. The first time the girl tried a dish with garlic she ended up throwing up for the next hour. A silver bracelet received as a gift when she was six caused an intense burn-like rash to form. If Karólína spent too many hours playing outside in strong sunlight she would develop migraines.
Things didn't really turn weird for Karólína until she turned thirteen. As her body began to make the shift into womanhood, the girl's unusual heritage began to show even more. Vitamin supplements weren't always strong enough to deal with the anemia anymore, and she began to crave bloody food. Tryggvi, her uncle and guardian, did not miss these changes. Although he had hoped that his sister's wild claims of vampires and other monsters had been drug induced delirium, he was not ignorant to the supernatural.
One night when Karólína was asleep in her bed, Tryggvi entered the girl's room with the intent to kill. He was hesitant on his first strike and it was only a glancing blow into the meat of her shoulder. Awaking in a panic Karólína reacted with a predatory instinct inherited from her father. Tryggvi soon lost possession of his knife to his niece and she was not in the state of mind to be hesitant. As the man lay dieing, the dhampyr tasted blood for the first time.
When she regained her rationality, Karólína was horrified at what she had done. She gathered together a few of her belongings and ran away from her home. The next few months were spent on the streets, resisting the urge to kill while trying to not starve. Either might have happened if Jónatan Njarðarson not been on the look out for the girl. The hunter had been looking for her since the death of Tryggvi. He had expected to find that Karólína had been kidnapped by vampires, not that she was a half-breed. Still, the man could not bring himself to harm someone so young. Instead he took her in and together they figured out how to fight Karólína's darker urges.
Before the dhampyr turned sixteen suspicion from the Icelandic authorities towards Jón forced the pair to flee to Canada. For the next seven years the pair hunted throughout the country. Karólína's accent softened with time, eventually becoming almost identical to the local's. At age twenty Jón decided that Karólína was strong enough to strike out on her own without being a danger to humans. The pair parted amiably and kept in touch. Two months later Karólína entered the United States and has been hunting there ever since.
