Information

Una Rillford is a short girl, appearing to be no more than sixteen years of age. She has long, white-blonde hair paired with blue eyes so pale they are nearly colorless. This combined with incredibly fair skin make her rather striking when she wears the dark dresses and scarves that she is accustomed to after years of serving the Glorious Lord of Darkness.

Una was a painfully innocent girl when she first came to Myrken Wood as a missionary for a cult worshiping the Glorious Lord of Darkness, one Bryan Stratton. She was assigned a werewolf guardian who took advantage of her naivety and persuaded her that he was in love with her. After managing to get her to return the affection, he infected her with his disease then abandoned her so he could be with a different woman who had given him twins. In the meantime, poor Una was abandoned by her ‘god Eand was subsequently tormented by Bryan. What Una had not realized was that the man she’d worshipped as a god was truly nothing more than a megalomaniacal vampire who had been feeding her his own blood to ensure his control over her and to also preserve her young age—she had been under his sway for over fifty years. After meeting another werewolf Una finally was able to realize that she did not need either her former master or the man who had infected her and she was finally able to break the blood bond that Bryan had over her.

Outside of this drama Una was fast friends the gypsy woman Khalika Quiller and had an uneasy association with Sill who was a ward of the older gypsy. She was also fond of the cursed child Phlynn and has yet to learn of his death.

Recently Una had lost touch with the tentative confidence she’d found (and with it a strong grasp on reality as well) and was at the mercy of the changing moon which drives her beast to the surface and destroys or buries many of the memories she had of her former life. This has changed, though, as she was miraculously healed by the young man Bryce Larose. He found her near death after a fight with the drow Jirai. He was able to not only return her to health but to also cure her of the curse that had been driving her mad.
