Sometimes I wish to God I didn’t know now
Things I didn’t know then."

Poison - Something to Believe in
Michaela was born and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland with her twin sister Michaela and their older brother Magnus. When their parents were killed, Magnus took care of the girls until they were of an age to care for themselves. Magnus was a member of the Arcanum, and because of their unique abilities, the girls joined as well.

The more withdrawn of the twins, Michaela practices hedge magic. Among other things she can sense vampires and speak with the recently deceased. She has developed an interest in computers and runs a consulting firm out of the house. Michaela likes to keep to herself and doesn't understand how Cara can spend so much time with strangers. Occasionally Cara will talk her sister into attending one of the many social functions she enjoys so much.

Magnus was investigating rumors of a vampire in America when he was embraced. Upon seeing their horribly disfigured brother, Cara and Michaela killed him. They sought out the Society of Leopold and occasionally hunt vampires without the Arcanum’s knowledge or consent.

On a trip to America, the girls were bitten by one vampire and approached by another who offered to help them kill the fiend that had turned their brother. They traveled to Phoenix where they did find Magnus’ sire and Michaela was able to destroy him. Unfortunately, they unknowingly drank the prince’s blood, bringing them one step blood bonded to him, and awakening a thirst for vitae that has yet to be dealt with.
