Ashanti

Ashanti is Carina's creation and Akachi's mate.

Early Life
Ashanti has had a simple life for the most part, but not much was really known. She was changed at the age of 30 years old by Carine as she got hurt after being mauled by an animal, bleeding out to death. Carine caught the scent of blood and killed the animal, despite of Ashanti's whispers of protest, and then changed her. The process took three days, and when she woke up as a vampire, she drained three humans dry, hiding their corpses as she deemed herself satisfied for that time. From then on, until her bloodthirst was controlled, Carine would hunt with her. Then she was allowed to hunt on her own, although they rarely do, usually going in groups. It was during one of these hunts that she discovered her power when hearing the animals' nearby voices inside her head. And since then, she created a reservation for any animal that needed rehab or simply her help to return to his or her home.
