Rodica Lupei is an Immortal. An orphan from the time she was an infant, Rodica was raised with traveling homeless and beggars. A thief only when necessary (and only ever for food), she was often a caregiver for the other homeless, particularly the small children. When she made it to Romania she, among many others, became a victim of Prince Vlad “Keradoc” Dracula III’s final solution to the homeless problem in 1458. She would awaken to her new Immortal life alone and confused, though gifted her first sword by Vlad himself.
A drifter by nature, she fled the country, soon encountering Rebecca Horne. Rebecca would take her in, clothe her and teach her civility... as well as how to fight with her sword. She would return once to Romania, seeking the aid of one Hans Kirschner (who would also serve to guide her) to deal with a local tyrant, Lord Kuza Danut. Rodica’s mind still not at peace, Rebecca summoned Willem Caelius on her behalf, who in turn would take Rodica under his wing for a number of years, educating her in the ways of religion and inner peace. In time what was student and teacher became friends, and then more than friends.
In the present Rodica Lupei lives a peaceful life in the Pacific Northwest, staying in touch with Willem while enjoying the company of the Immortal Cath MacGregor. She is also mutual friends with Malej Senna Cavaco, the two often meeting for sparring sessions.
Notes: She has heard firsthand Malej's belief that he is nearing a Dark Quickening and is greatly concerned, keeping her eye on him.
Her weapon is Raider Scimitar/Shamshir.
