PERSONALITY
As a child Resalia had a vivid imagination, was loud, and at most times cheerful. Due to her mother's absence, Resalia befriended ghosts and the ghosts taught her how to read, write, care for herself, and other skills. This meant she was unable to develop good social skills since she had control over these ghosts. Due to this Resalia grew to need control over people, she was determined, confident, and always had to be right. When she started using her magic the cheerful side of her drained away slowly, replaced with a dark, sarcastic side to Resalia. She is easily angered, very closed off from people, and not a very good listener. However, once she begins to care for someone she will do all in her power to save them and help them, even if this means hurting - or killing - other people, though it is very rare for Resalia to grow to care about someone. Mostly she works to help herself, not caring who she hurts to do so.
HISTORY
Resalia was born in London on 30 October 1996. Her mother is Elisha Deracien and she has not been told who her father is. Resalia was born with the powers of necromancy which she inherited from her mother.
Her mother had formerly worked for wealthy business owners, talking to their dead loved ones and, on rare occasions, bringing back the dead for them. Due to this, her mother earnt a lot of money. However, in 1994, due to her carelessness, an agency dealing in supernatural affairs in England caught onto Elisha's powers and wanted Elisha to work for them. Working for them would mean Elisha would constantly be under supervision from one of the agents. When Elisha declined the offer, the agents came after her. This had Elisha go into hiding.
When Resalia was born Elisha kept Resalia's existance a secret. Resalia was kept in her house most of her life, homeschooled and denied human contact. Resalia and Elisha would also move town a lot. This was for Resalia's protection, as Elisha worried that if the agents found out about Resalia, the agents would want her as well as Elisha. However, due to Elisha's excessive use of her powers in the dark arts of necromancy, Elisha began to get addicted to magic. She would summon more ghosts, bring back the dead for no reason, and when she was not using her magic, would become quiet and almost disappear from Resalia's life.
Resalia spent a lot of her younger years talking to ghosts, befriending them, and letting them care for her and teach her, especially since her mother was rarely around. When Resalia was seven she found one of her mother's journals describing how to use the necromancy magic. Resalia began to practice with her magic, finding a thrill in doing the dark spells. Her powers were already enhanced due to the ghosts she had been speaking to that had been summon to the house by Elisha.
When Resalia was eleven her mother disappeared one night and didn't return, presumably taken by the agents. During the night a stranger who claimed to be a friend of Elisha's turned up on Resalia's doorstep. The stranger was called Caden Bridges. He took Resalia under his care. Also under Caden's care was a boy called Elliot Cadaswen. Elliot too had powers, when he had skin to skin contact with people he could tell if they were in danger and the circumstances in which they would die. Resalia was intrigued by Elliot due to never having proper human contact with someone her age before. She and Elliot became friends, though Elliot noticed how with each spell Resalia made, she became less and less herself.
Resalia began to have anger issues, she would attack people for no apparent reason and she would have huge mood swings when not using her magic. Elliot tried to help her by stopping her from using her magic.
During a storm one night when Resalia was seventeen, she went to an abandoned house where she could sense there were lots of ghosts. Elliot followed her. Inside the house due to the storm the roof collapsed on Elliot and killed him.
His body was pulled from the wreckage and he was buried in a cemetery. Resalia read in her mother’s journal about a ritual on how to bring back the dead. Since her mind was already clouded from her magic use, she saw no harm in killing a person to bring back Elliot.
She dug Elliot’s body out of his grave and then began to ritual. She lured a young boy to the graveyard that night and sacrificed him to bring Elliot back to life. Elliot became under her full control. He still had his power from when he was alive. Resalia never told anyone that she had killed someone to bring Elliot back. She worried if Elliot found out she killed someone to bring him back, he would demand she kill him to bring back the person she sacrificed for him, or that he would hate her. Caden found out what had happened and to protect both Elliot and Resalia from the agents finding them, he moved them from England to Beacon Hills.
Now Resalia is addicted to magic and, after bringing Elliot back to life, has an urge to sacrifice people to raise more of the dead and gain more control and power for herself.
