Though Ava doesn't recall her life before she died, she knew she was destined for greater things in her undeath. Along with her most trusted friend, the dullahan Brenna she pledged her self to Clan Blackbourne, one of the most powerful vampire clans. Though initially happy with her position of power she began to grow restless, feeling there was something more she was destined for. Then ruin fell upon the clan when its head vanished on an expedition, leaving behind a very frustrated and unprepared heir. Ava only stayed with the clan out of loyalty to her friend and the clans heir Skylar. Over the centuries she grew more and more depressed until one night a strange group of travelers came to Castle Blackbourne. Lead by a bumbling human, the group took down the few remaining minions before doing battle with Skylar, Ava and Brenna and winning. The human suggested the three join him and his companions. Skylar refused to join, her pride to great. Ava and Brenna however accepted. Ava soon found herself in a position of leadership within the guild Haven, and as the leader of The Queens of Noise her personal strike force(and band). Even with the many accomplishments she claims, and despite the admiration and friendship of her guildmates. She feels as if she is still missing something more...
