Fiona Ashford, a 15-year-old girl, is an intriguing blend of witch and born-vampire, a rare combination that sets her apart even among her unique family. Born in the bustling city of Seattle, Fiona and her family, all spiritual beings and vampires, relocated to Salem, a city steeped in history and mysticism, which seemed fitting for their nature. Fiona's appearance is strikingly pale, her skin almost luminescent under the moon's glow, a testament to her nocturnal lineage. Her eyes, a deep violet, are often hidden behind thick, black-rimmed glasses that she nervously adjusts when spoken to. Her hair, a cascade of dark curls, is usually tied back in a messy bun, adding to her air of perpetual distraction and shyness. She dresses in layers of dark, flowing garments, a style that not only suits her gothic sensibilities but also helps her blend into the shadows of the old cemetery where she spends much of her time.

In this quiet sanctuary, Fiona reads aloud from ancient tomes and modern novels alike to the ghosts she senses lingering among the tombstones. Her voice, soft and melodic, carries a soothing quality that seems to bring peace to the restless spirits. This ritual is her way of coping with the overwhelming world around her, a world where she feels out of place and misunderstood. Her family, while supportive, doesn't fully grasp her deep connection with the dead, often urging her to engage more with the living.

Fiona's greatest desire is to find a place where she truly belongs, a community that understands and accepts her dual nature. Her shyness and social awkwardness, however, make it challenging for her to reach out and connect with others. She finds solace in her books and the cemetery, but she knows this isn't enough. Gradually, Fiona begins to use her powers to help the spirits she communicates with, resolving their unfinished business and helping them move on. This not only gives her a sense of purpose but also slowly builds her confidence.

Her journey is marked by small victories and setbacks, but as she helps more spirits, Fiona starts to realize that her unique abilities are her strength, not a curse. She begins to open up more to her family and even ventures into the town of Salem, slowly forming connections with other supernatural beings who appreciate her for who she is. Her story is one of self-discovery and acceptance, culminating in her finding a community of like-minded individuals who celebrate her dual heritage. Despite the challenges and conflicts with her family's expectations and her own fears, Fiona's path leads her to a place of belonging and peace, where she can continue her work with the spirits while being part of a world that values her unique gifts.
