Father/'Dad' Cordelius Cavendish

Father/'Papa' Magnus Bettencourt

Grandmother (Cordelius’s mom) Gloria Cavendish

Grandfather (Cordelius’s dad) Maximus Cavendish

Grandmother (Magnus’s mom) Seraphina ‘Sera’ Bettencourt

Grandfather (Magnus’s dad) Rodolphus “Roddy” Bettencourt



BACKGROUND

Cordelius and Magnus met when their families shipped them off to boarding school and over the course of the years they attended the Swiss school, the two fell madly in love… though they waited until they turned eighteen to come out to their families and announce their love… They knew their families loved them, but they also knew how old elite bloodlines and very stiff prim and proper parents could get about changes in traditions and things like that, so they wanted to make sure both of them were of age to make their own decisions and fly the nest together if things went bad.

While Cordelius’s parents were less than receptive towards the new, Magnus’s family was shockingly warm and inviting when their son brought his male fiance home to meet them… apparently, Magnus’s family had always known he was gay and were simply waiting until he felt comfortable enough to come out to them in his own time and they thought Cordelius was just the loveliest and most respectful boy Magnus had ever brought home. They were so proud of his choice of partner, such a darling addition to their family.

While Cordelius’s family treated him coldly after the truth came out, they did not remove him from the will as their heir to the Cavendish family fortune… Thankfully Magnus’s family lovingly embraced Cordelius as part of their family and had him come and live with them in Switzerland.

Cordelius and Magnus went on then to attend Harvard University, Cordelius to become a lawyer and Magnus to become a surgeon.

The pair of them got an upscale apartment in Boston to call their home for awhile as Magnus was going to be at school a lot longer at twelve years to be certified as a surgeon then Cordelius’s three years for law.

It was in Cordelius and Magnus’s 4th year at university that Cordelius’s parents flew to Boston to apologize to him for their reaction to his coming out those four years ago and reconcile, they decided their son being gay was not the end of the world and wasn’t worth losing him over. It was clear they were genuine when Cordelius’s father shook Magnus’s hand with sincerity in his eyes and asked him to treat Cordelius well.

Cordelius got a job in Boston at a reputable law firm to get some experience under his belt while Magnus finished the next eight years of his medical classes.

Eight years went by and after Magnus graduated top of his class, the couple decided they really loved Boston and wanted to put down permanent roots there, so Cordelius opened up his own law firm and Magnus got a job as chief surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Their next step was to officially tie the knot and get married, next move was purchasing a charming small eight bedroom mansion.

One warm morning in the month of May, the now happily married husbands made the most startling discovery as Magnus was preparing to head to work… a newborn baby girl, swaddled in a striped pink, blue and yellow blanket.

When Cordelius heard Magnus shouting for him from the front porch, he found his husband there with the most beautiful and most precious little treasure in his arms, Magnus looked at Cordelius and murmured his name with soft eyes.

The both of them knew, right away. This beautiful baby was meant to be theirs.

The very best lawyers were immediately hired, pulling all any and all stops possible to ensure that the Cavendish-Bettencourt’s would be able to adopt the abandoned little girl as soon as possible.

Not to say that the authorities didn’t try and find the baby’s mother, but there was no success after several months, during that period of time, Magnus and Cordelius were permitted to foster the baby.

When authorities announced they were giving up the search, Magnus and Cordelius wasted absolutely no time in making their adoption of their new daughter legal, finally with great joy, legally giving her the name Adriana in honor of Magnus’s dearly departed grandmother.

As the years went by, Adriana grew up learning from her parents to be a very intelligent and profoundly kind little girl, she grew up seeing the beauty in each and every individual regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation or gender identity. She preferred to get to know a person and learn who they are within before making any decisions on associating or not. Everyone was worthy of love, compassion and a chance at acceptance.

Little Adriana, as her parents soon discovered, was very fond of dance and would be practically mesmerized each Christmas when the family would watch The Nutcracker. They enrolled her in ballet school when she was eight years old, she was immediately a natural as she picked up on the movements and grace of the art with ease.

She did most of her kindergarten and elementary school via homeschooling.

Belonging to a wealthy family, Adriana was later enrolled in a private high school nearby her family’s home to allow her to have social interaction alongside her education.

She was popular in high school with a great many groups, her genuine kind and gentle personality made her likable by cliques might call ‘geeks and nerds’, though Adriana never approved of those labels when used in a negative way, she found their intelligence and imagination to be stimulating and delightful. She attended many a DnD session with some of these people as a wood elf gloomstalker ranger, a few levels into rogue if the campaign level set allowed for it.

She joined the cheerleading team and the dance team, participating as well in the ballet appreciation club. She was quite popular with the ballet club, having received ballet teaching ever since she was young to the present time.

Adriana enjoyed breaking barriers and doing everything she could to decrease bullying around school. She hated the thought that anyone might feel beaten down or alone, no one deserved to feel that way.

She was quite a force of nature as well towards the bullies that just downright refused to amend their ways, she made it clear she wasn't going to be pushed around or quietly take any of their crap.

Her senior prom, Adriana attended with the primary DM of the DnD group she played with, they weren’t exactly a romantic thing, but he was Adriana’s dearest friend and neither of them had significant others at the time. So it made sense to them to enjoy the dance together. It didn’t hurt that being seen dancing with her helped his reputation a bit.

Sweet guy. Adriana hoped he’d find a great partner one day, whomever he or she might be.

After graduating high school, Adriana is currently looking for universities where she might find great programs to continue pursuing her ballet dreams.

SKILLS/TALENTS/POWERS

Elven magic Like all elves, Jingle possesses the talent for magic, be it conjuring, transfiguration of an object, healing spells. Christmas elves, powered by the bright North Star shining above Santa’s village, are especially adept.

Master crafter Since she was just a young elf clutching her mama’s apron, Jingle has been taught how to craft just about every toy in existence and quite excellently at that. Elves have high standards for their work and Jingle strives to live up to those standards.

Baking No one can bake better tasting or more beautiful Christmas cookies than Jingle. She puts pride, dedication and devoted hard work into every single cookie she makes.

Organization In matters of the workshop and managing the other elves, Jingle makes sure everything is right on target for Christmas. Elves are doing their jobs, all the cookies are baked and correctly at that, every candy cane has the right amount of stripes, the whole package really.

RELATIVES

Father Yule Snowbell (retired)

Mother Holly Snowbell (retired)


BACKGROUND

Jingle was born to the Northern elf tribe of Christmas town to elves Yule and Holly Snowbell 900 years ago, the shining light of her parents lives, they taught their darling daughter everything they knew about toy making, decorating both beautifully and festively and the baking of Christmas treats.

From her youth, Jingle followed Santa Claus around like his shadow, she adored the kind and jolly human man. It was easy to see why the Northern elf tribes ancestors chose this man to be made immortal and spread goodwill and love to the world of mortal men on the holy day of Christmas.

She soaked up every bit of knowledge she could from tailing both Santa Claus and the wonderful Mrs. Claus, she learned all the ins and outs of not just the workshop, but all of Christmas village itself. It was her dream to one day prove herself worthy to become Santa’s Head Elf.

It took her 700 years of practice and dedicated hardwork before Noel (The head elf at the time) decided he wanted to retire and named Jingle his replacement. No one in The Pole could argue that the cheerful and bubbly blonde elf was the perfect choice for the job.

For 200 years after that, Jingle was Santa’s right hand elf and helped to make sure Christmas always went off smoothly without a hitch. She was determined that she would always maintain a pristine and unblemished record before her time to retire as an old, old elf would eventually one day come.

Some might even call Jingle a bit of a workaholic, the other elves often have to put in great efforts to make her slow down or take needed breaks. It’s part of her charm though, the elves know they can always depend on her.

Eliana is a kind and compassionate girl, sensitive to the suffering of others and usually if it is within her power, willing to do whatever she can to help. She can be a little bit guarded about how much she shares about herself on a personal level with people she doesn’t know well, for obvious reasons given the whole ‘hey, I talk to dead people’ thing… she has learned not to talk about it with anyone that she hasn’t felt out regarding the supernatural first.

She can be a little bit frustrated and sometimes even a little bit distressed with certain types of more angry and aggressive… or dark… spirits. Like most anyone, she doesn’t enjoy being scared and terrorized on a regular basis, she dealt with it enough as a kid, she doesn’t plan to put up with it now that she's an adult with more knowledge on her hands.

On that note, Eliana is dedicated learner with more than a little bit of intelligence to her name, she is frequently getting her hands on books regarding supernatural studies, books of how to handle spirits aimed at mediums like her, books on demonology and pretty much anything she thinks might prove a useful tool in her arsenal for both her job and for protecting herself at home.

Loyal to a fault, Eliana’s loyalty will never waver to those that have managed to sneak past her walls and grow close to her, she would move mountains for those people and even do battle with dangerous specters (or flesh and blood douchebags with a good ole fashioned bitch slap) to protect them.





Skills/Abilities/Power


Clairvoyant medium The ability to see and speak with spirits as if they were standing right in front of you. The downside being that there is no off switch and once spirits know you can see them, they often won’t back off until you help them.

Resourceful cook After her dad walked out on her and her mom when Eliana was six, she took upon herself to learn as much as possible to be self sufficient to help make things easier on her mom. This included learning how to cook, from watching the food network to renting cooking books from the library and practicing at home. She’s quite proud of being able to throw together a pretty decent meal from things she scrounges from a slightly barren kitchen pantry.

Observation skills Eliana has taught herself to highly aware of her surroundings, she’s also very good at reading facial expressions, body language and tone of voice… though she really only pays that close attention to a person when she approaches them about a spirit with a message for them. Anything from a facial tick to a change in tone can be a crucial clue leading towards the truth in some cases.

Puzzle pro Years of quiet evenings at home with her mom putting together puzzles had led to Eliana being quite good at even the more complicated jigsaw puzzles.

Character Backstory


Eliana was born to registered nurse Gwendolyn and skilled mechanic Bertrand Waldeck in a cute suburban home in a nice neighborhood, the mom was beautiful, the father was handsome and their baby girl was adorable, everything was perfect… at least on the outside they looked like the perfect little family… Gwendolyn tried at least to keep things as normal and happy as possible for her daughter’s sake.

The truth was that Gwendolyn was a clairvoyant medium, she could see and speak with the dead as clearly as she could a flesh and blood living person and it was something that had always been a sore spot in her marriage… Bertrand didn’t like her talking to ghosts, he felt the entire thing was evil and that demons were involved, so Gwendolyn just stopped talking about it in front of him and when he was around, she pretended the ghosts were not… no matter how hard it was. She had Eliana to think about after all, she didn’t want her baby’s father to abandon them because of her and her ability.
It worked… for awhile… until Eliana turned six and she told her father during an ice cream trip that there was a sad man looking for his wife wandering the sidewalk and the side of his head was bleeding, she asked her father if they should call the hospital people for him.

Bertrand insisted there was no one on the sidewalk in front of the ice cream shop and she needed to stop making up stories immediately, but Eliana stamped her foot on the ground and insisted she wasn’t lying. When eyes started turning towards then, Bertrand immediately took Eliana home.

He was quiet the rest of the day, he wouldn’t even look at Gwendolyn or Eliana. He practically ignored the fact they existed. He microwaved a tv dinner that night instead of eating the dinner Gwendolyn cooked and locked himself inside his office.

Inside, Gwendolyn knew her marriage was over… though she never anticipated how exactly it was going to go up in flames.

By morning, when Gwendolyn was getting Eliana up for school, she noticed that all of her husband’s clothes and belongings were gone… and a note sat upon her vanity desk table…

‘You lied to me, Gwen. The devils never stopped talking to you and now they speak to Eliana.

I won’t have any part of your wickedness. Stay away from me, both of you. You will find divorce papers already signed by me on the kitchen table… you sign them and turn them in. We are done.

~Bertrand’

Betrand’s family was outraged when they learned what their son did and while they were a little iffy about the whole ghost thing, they did not push their granddaughter away and did their best to be present in her life. No one ever heard from Betrand after he left, likely he knew his parents would be deeply ashamed of his actions.

From that point on, Gwendolyn never hid the truth from Eliana about them being clairvoyant mediums... at least under their roof, she knew Eliana was going to need everything she had to teach her about her ability in order to protect herself against evil spirits and to help the poor innocent souls needing aid to move on into the light. Gwendolyn did make sure Eliana knew though, do not talk about it outside their home and try not to talk to spirits in the public eye... people tended to stare and think you were not long for the funny farm.

Gwendolyn began taking the night shift at the hospital, which paid significantly more and allowed her and her daughter remain in their home. It kept Gwendolyn very busy and exhausted, but it also meant she wouldn't have to uproot her daughter and lose a nice safe neighborhood with good schools to raise her in. Eliana was first and most important in Gwendolyn's life.

This was something Eliana never let slip her her mind. She watched the food network regularly and read every cooking book she could get her hands on from the library, she made sure she had the skills to ensure her mother had healthy lunches to take with her to the hospital and something nutritious to eat when she got home. She knew what her mother sacrificed for her and she wanted her mother to always know what it meant to her.

Things took a more exciting turn for Eliana just a few days before her high school graduation, a friend of hers had an uncle that is a police detective, he came to pick her friend up from school a few times and Eliana noticed… the guy was always being followed by another man who seemed to be desperately trying to get the uncle to talk to him, he too was wearing a police detective uniform…

After a few times of this happening, the spirit cop noticed Eliana staring at him and immediately realized she could see him, so he begged Eliana to talk to her friend’s uncle for him… the ghost cop, Anthony Hodgkinz, said he was the guy’s partner, he was killed in the line of duty and now his best friend and partner was blaming himself for it… he was afraid that his partner would quit the force or worse, hurt himself… he wanted his partner to know that his death was in no way his fault and he didn’t blame him at all for not be able to prevent it.

So Eliana agreed to talk to her friend’s uncle.

The uncle was named Richard Morris… At first he thought Eliana was some kid messing with and thinking his grief was funny… but then Eliana started throwing out details only his partner would know… that definitely convinced him, there were things that were NEVER said out of the private company of just him and his best friend.

After that, Richard told Eliana that they come across strange cases all the time they are confident that spirit activity is involved with… he asks Eliana if after she graduates, if she would be open to working part time for the police department as a private spirit medium.

Eliana instantly agreed. She would prefer that if she had this burden hoisted upon her, that she would be able to do something positive with it. She’s been working primarily with Detective Morris mostly ever since, though she does occasionally help out other detectives with spirit issues on cases.
