Ume Aihara

Once Upon a Time

There was a girl called Momo, born to a prostitute in the late 1800s, in a city by the sea.

As Momo grew from girl to women, she met the man who'd become her Sire. But first he was a regular client.

She doesn't know if the man who was first her Regent, then Sire bought her from the brothel house, or simply stole her.

It was a paltry half a decade together before He Embraced the girl who was once Momo, but who'd now taken to calling herself Yuki.

They spent decades together until when her sire was discovered as Kallisti, acting with the others, and thankfully posing as a Toreador, This Girl with Many Names participating in the Blood Hunt, and Death of her Sire. Who, by the way, looked absolutely fabulous even as he crumpled to ash. She keeps a portion of his remains, because in her own way she loved him. Or at least, the life he'd given her. Though sometimes she hate it and him desperately.

She roams, never staying in one place for to long. To others she claims a wanderlust. Ah, but she and few others know the Truth, that she is the Blood of Kallisti. This is a secret that she will do anything to protect. Though...sometime her nature gets the best of her.

In each new city, and each new town This Girl with Many Names add another to her ever growing collection, as well as various on her past.

The latter half of her time in London was spent in the Necropolis, London's Undertown, with a Nosferatu Elder, used as his safe blood supply. Thankfully his near fervent need to protect her and get back to her was mistaken for the Vinculum instead of the truth.

Most recently she's been run out of town, her nature of course was a hard thing to fight. If she ever wanted too, but perhaps calling herself Hime hadn't been the best idea. Though ever practical, she's already made some preparations for just an event. And so This Girl with Many Names adds Ume to her collection as continues her tour of cities that claim themselves capitols.
