Lonely Mists
25th of Evening Star, 190 My name is Willow, and this is my first journal entry. I have to thank you papa for giving this to me for my birthday. Well, a little about myself... I'm 7 years old, I have long black hair, I love flowers if you couldn't tell because of my name, and I'm one of the smartest kids in my village. I am not the most popular person though, partly because I'm shy, and because everyone likes to make fun of my pale skin. Papa said my other birthday present is that he's going to teach me how to hunt with a bow, I can't wait! I'm sorry my first entry isn't so large, but I'll write more soon.
18th of Sun's Dawn, 193 ... I can't believe what I just learned... Father is... A vampire... And that means, I'm a half vampire or Dhampir is what my father called me. It makes sense why I'm so pale, and why people tend to hate and not trust me. Why didn't mom and dad tell me before? They said it was because I wasn't ready, but ready for what they didn't say. Dad said that even though I'm only a half vampire, I will still hunger for blood, but not as desperately as full-blooded vampires, and that he will take me out to feed on some animals soon... I'm not looking forward to that, though. This also has made me think... I was always taught from tales to fear vampire for they are evil blood suckers that would just kill you for their own enjoyment... And yet my father is the nicest person in the whole village besides my mom... What am I supposed to believe?
2nd of Frostfall, 199 Some men have been asking around town if they have seen a vampire. I'm scared. I hope they just give up the search. Dad said to not worry, everything will be fine, but I'm not sure, they were clad in steel plate armor and had weapons draped across their bodies... I hope dad is right, and they leave soon...
4th of Frostfall, 199 They killed them... They killed mom and dad... When mom tried to protect him they shot her in the chest with a crossbow... When they killed them, they burned down our house saying it was home to evil creatures... they are now hunting for me, saying that since I'm a half blooded vampire I still pose a threat... Why? Why did they kill them? Dad never hurt anybody, and mom hated fighting... Why?
[As she reads over her old journals she starts to feel her eyes watering. She fights the urge to start crying and stares into her campfire she made a few hours ago. She has spent the last year training, becoming stronger, taking up jobs as a mercenary. She has learned to control her blood lust and sate it on animal blood. After running away from her old village, trying to stay alive, she has started to not trust people, fearing they may turn on her or she may cause them to be hurt by others. "I'm sorry..." Is all she manages to say before she tosses the journal into the fire, watching as all of the sad moments experienced in that book, burning away.]

Thanks to Brynjolf for helping write out the backstory to this character. I'm also currently working on Willow's character build since I feel like sharing it with everyone.
