Born to a car salesman father and a completely absent mother, Evanna Escarcega never seemed like the kind of girl who would have life open its doors wide open for her. The baby of the family of four and the only woman in the house full of men, Evanna quickly learned how to use her loud voice, charm, and big smile to get what she wanted and needed out of life. Her father, who taught her the art of the deal- which includes selling a lemon on occasion if you have to feed your family- was morally grey, but nonetheless worried constantly for Evanna's well being. Evanna's older brothers worked as bodyguards for their youngest sibling throughout her life, shoving away boys (and even occasionally girls) that might bring trouble into her midst. She had a strict curfew, she was to account for her whereabouts at all times, and her window was sealed shut. By the time Evie was sixteen, she was itching to break free.
Unbeknownst to her father, Evie began working as a model full time in her hometown of New York to pay tuition for her admittance to NYU. After a decade of being forced into one corner of the world, she was excited to try new things, and never tired of the constant ins and outs of the complicated modeling world. Evie adapted quickly and gained a good deal of commercial success, landing her a great paycheck and as much job safety as a model can really hope for. Despite her itching to spend all her new money on cars and drugs, the business major in her prevailed, and she saved as much of it as she could, invested some, and paid careful attention to the stock market. By the time she had gained her master's in business administration, she had a shrewd eye for how to turn 100 dollars into 1000, all on her own.
Evie had big plans to buy her father a new house and car with all her money, but she put it off until the option was no longer there- Evie's father died of an aneurysm three days after she graduated with her master's degree, leaving her alone with her two brothers, who were too distraught to function. Evie buried herself in her work instead, picking up more modeling jobs, doing various odd jobs, and saving every penny. She spent hours with her stock broker and her accountant. Despite the fact that her personal life was in virtual shambles, her professional life thrived.
When Evie was 25 she was given the offer of a lifetime- an older confidante wanted to purchase a small bar and nightclub in Boston, Massachusetts. He requested that Evie put the money she had earned over the past decade down to help the revamped business get on its feet, and in return, he would make her co-owner of the business and give her half of his profits. This was Evie's make of break moment- she used the money she had saved up to purchase her father a car and a home and put it down on the business, hoping for the best but expecting the worst.
But for Evie, things in her life always seemed to just work out. She wasn't particularly sure why, but she never questioned it- and when the business, now renamed "Fangs" as a clever nudge toward their "revamping," went from red to black, she couldn't say she was surprised. That's just the way things worked for her. That's what things did.

shiklah
Before humans came to be, Shiklah and her family ruled over the monster world. Vampires sought to overthrow them by starting a war that lasted over a century, which also saw the coming of man. After their family was overwhelmed and their kingdom had fallen, Shiklah's father was distraught over the seeming deaths of his sons and decided to seal her away in a coffin until the war ran its course, or until she was to be wed. Deadpool was hired by Dracula to bring Shiklah to him so he could marry her, in order to take over her old lands and unite the monster world under his rule and end a long feud. After traveling to the Arabian Peninsula, Deadpool timely rescued Shiklah (sealed in a coffin) before a faction of teleporting vampires managed to destroy it. Deadpool brought the coffin to Greece and got into a fight with the Minotaur, where the coffin shattered and Shiklah was awakened along with her pet, Bug.
