Home[]
The palace
Darcie lives with her family and coven in their palace on the outskirts of Otsu, Japan. It was specifically created for them by her father Tomas Reddan, after they defeated the Malus in battle and thus became leaders of the supernatural world. The building is large, beautiful and in traditional Japanese architecture. It is protected from discovery by humans or enemy vampires, using both telepathy and illusion. The first 2 floors are state floors, containing the throne room, crown room, reception rooms and several soundproof meeting rooms. There is also there a secret library known only to a handful, and a series of underground cells where enemies would be held. The coven lives in the next 3 floors. These contain a kitchen, dining rooms, living rooms, a gym, a pool, another library, a cinema room, bathrooms, ensuites, bedrooms, shower-rooms, guestrooms, nurseries and playrooms for the children. The attic spans the entire building, but is usually used by the Goldston pack. They also have grounds, which span for miles and reach the coast. These grounds include Guardhomes, formal gardens, pools, sportsgrounds, a training ground, a courtyard, cliffs, a beach, woods, wilderland, lakes and streams and rivers.

Strengths & Weaknesses[]
Darcie has a powerful family and coven, who will always help and support her. She'll have particularly good senses, and will be good at tracking. She will also be good at using her ability. She will continually drive herself to improve, trying to make up for her weaknesses and faults.
However, she will be quite slow and weak in vampiric teams, and her ability is not that offensive, except possibly in certain circumstances. Her age and vulnerability is also currently a weakness. She will also sometimes be too optimistic, preventing her from being realistic about some problems.
Etymology[]
Darcie is an English name which means "from Arcy". Her middle name, Tamara, is a Hebrew name which means "palm tree", and also means "spice" in Indian. Her maternal surname, Firelock, means "firearm" or "fire forge", and could refer to that family's martial history, or her own red hair. Her paternal surname, Reddan, is a Gaelic name which means "reed" or "red", and this second meaning could refer to her hair colour, blood, vampirism or the "fire" in her maternal surname.
