Laura Dragomir was born a pure-blooded Phoenix to the clan during Medieval Germany, she was raised within the clan alongside her two sisters and one older brother that loved them dearly. All had lived in a secluded area of pure phoenixes and Naiads, where they live in peace and harmony living co-side one another didn't seem out of the normal whatsoever. The Initia's never bothered them, fearing of the fire beings power. The three sisters we're taught by their brother; on how to use a sword, bow and arrow; learning to use other objects around them so they wouldn't rely on their powers to protect themselves. Later on one of the sisters Giselle had fallen in love and married a man who soon became the father of two very unique children Simon and Lisette.

79 AD the Dragomir family had taken residence within the city of Pompeii for over a year now; there was peace within the species of the city many co-and sided with one another in mutual respect. Laura had went through another one of her many re-births after all she has been through just about everything you could think of. She is after all a very old being and a old being that thought Pompeii would be her home for the next hundred years but she was proven wrong when the Magister  of an Initia clan in Rome came to Pompeii and disrupted  the balance. They wanted everyone to follow their rules and everyone had to follow their way of living and no one shall try to overthrow them and he had commanded that the Phoenixes would have to leave the city he didn't wish for the abomination to live within the city. To him they weren't worthy. You could say the Magister at the time wasn't a man you wanted to anger he was a mad man or to Laura he was a mad man who had way too much power and her brother had thought so as-well. So the elder brought of the Dragomir family thought to show up at the front door of the Magister home; no one knows what happened that night but It had gain the phoenixes another few weeks to stay within the city 

There was a scream out on the streets Laura had heard this and ran out from her study to find herself out on the streets which was her beloved brother dead. A cry had left her lips as she dropped down to his body the tears of healing falling down her cheeks as they splashed upon her fallen brother. The rest of the family ended up at the scene they all shared a moment of grief before they brought the body inside.

A messenger had come to them in the night it was a Fae she had seen what had happen to the male Dragomir an Initia not just any Initia it was the Magister and he had drugged him and ran him in with a blade that had been cursed by necromancer. 

"It was an Initia who murdered your kin." the fair folk spoke, hiding her face within the shadows of her cloak. Andrei pulled his grieving wife towards his form, but she pulled away. "Who was it?" she growled feriously, tearing welling up in her flame-consumed irises. "Calm her," the Fae hissed, pulling away. "I'd rather not be burnt to ashes today." Laura, the eldest girl, touched Giselle's shoulder, wishing to clam her sister, pursing her lips together. "Come now, sister--it won't do well to lose your temper here." "Easy for you to say," Giselle mumbled towards her peace-loving sister. Cora, the youngest of the girls, looked towards the Fae, her features devoid of emotion. "Who...Was.It?" she spoke, her tone dead, yet with a tone that dared anyone to speak against her with thoughts of coming out unscathed. The Fae hesitated, unsure of what her actions might unleash. But with a sigh, she then spoke:

"It was the Magister."

An outrage the phoenix is one thing but an outraged family that's hell on earth. What made everything even worst they had pleaded they didn't know it was the Dragomirs brother; they thought it was someone else. The sisters we're outraged their beloved brother was dead.  So out of blind rage Laura had an idea it was something the phoenixes had thought about if something drastic we're to happen to them; the thought about doing it was horrible but it what happens when someone kills a phoenix in such a way. The Dragomir family had made the travel up to the volcano; invoking the fire spirit within to use the volcano to burn the city of Pompeii to ash.

Hell had been unleashed that day.

August 24, 79 AD ~ The Destruction of Pompeii

 Mount Vesuvius  blew its top—literally, spewing tons of molten ash. A "firestorm" of poisonous vapors and molten debris engulfed the surrounding area—it was suffocating the occupants of the neighboring Roman resort cities of Pompeii. Tons of falling debris filled the streets; it had turned into a black fold over the sky's above. True darkness had pledged the land.  The family had watched everything no emotion's left their face as they watched scene unfold from the volcano; any one of them who was once pure before had lost their pure wings they had committed one of the worst acts darkness known to man. Soon after they had declared that they we're the guardians of the phoenixes and from that day if one of their kind would ever fall under harm once more they would take a step to save their kin. 

After the events of Pompeii the family fled the scene needing to get away so they flew to the nearest city which was Rome; they had decided it was time for all of them to split ways and travel the world yet they had promised to be the protectors of the phoenixes and they would never lose touch--they would always stay as a family. Laura felt heartbroken and that just added on when she left the only family she had left; but it was time for all of them to leave and find themselves before they let the darkness consume them whole.  

Traveling the world she found her passion she loved to paint; it was a stress reliever, she could put her heart and soul into every single painting she paints. But most of them never make it past the first week before it burnt down to ash. During her time in England she was painting a landscape of the area; and a man had notice the woman and the painting yet he was more captive by the woman more than anything. He had approach her that day and every since that day Laura had thought she had met some creep. But as the week went on she had the pleasure of running into this man on more accounts than one. She had slowly develop feelings for the man no matter how hard she tried to hide them.

The two had fallen in love; they couldn't be happier but all happiness ends with pain. He was a human someone who would die of old age; someone who was weak and fragile when it came to the supernatural world. Laura didn't want to leave him he had stolen her heart and once someone has entered her heart she couldn't let them go just like that. She was very big on family she would do anything for family she would push aside just about anyone to save them and if that means killing someone as-well she would do just that. Family above all and she feared what would happen if her love would die. Would she act as she once did in Pompeii? That was one of her worst mistakes and that city isn't even known to man now it was wiped off the map.  

Laura had spent the rest of those years with him, with the love the two had shared they produced a being that Laura loves more than life itself, her son Lysander Dragomir, being only a half-blood he wouldn't be as strong as her family but he was her son and anyone who held the name would know true inner power. Eddard and Laura had raised the child with such love, that it was so rare many envied it. She was even more thrilled to learn he shown sign of his abnormal gifts, she was more than happy to teach him all she had learnt in her life; passing everything she knew from their family history to how to manipulate fire as your own free will.  She knew sander never was found over learning his father was human, yet she tried her all to comfort in the moments Eddard took his last breath she was indeed heartbroken when he had died that night but she would forever cherish the memory of him,. With that she knew it was time to move on and be strong for Lysander, she had to be there for him in this time, with that she also knew that they had stayed in one place for far too long people have notice she hasn't been aging in some time and they were growing suspicious she had asked her son to come with her ti Italy to live out a new life. 

She had spent many years with her son, to when she knew he was old enough to be on his own, she let him travel the world himself, to experience everything as she once did. It was hard to let him go to be a free bird, but she was also happy that he was starting his life journey. With that she had to leave ; to start over again she knew her time was nearing an end with her current face she just needed to find the path to her new life before she took on another form.  She was in a local tavern when it happen, she was drinking her favorite rum when there was talk from a few folk about a faction of people "They tell you from the start we shall never do harm unless it is done to us under a justified manner. We are to pass the protection upon the isle of sky as each guard member intentions must be pure. You’ll have to think different now that you are apart of something that brings peace to this world not another war." She was highly interested, in this norm form she felt more in tune with nature and wished to bring peace to mankind, she could see this world ending up in flames one day, maybe with the help of a phoenix she could help the humans and add more time to their sentence.

Laura wasn’t a good person; she had done many monsters of things just to live one more day. It was all about survival for the most part but she was also something else under the skin she was a cold-blooded killer she was a monster that should be put down. She was someone who had a problem looking herself in the mirror every morning afraid fearing that one day it’ll judge her back. 

That why she sought out for the Ailward Guard she wished for a new start and  wanted to be something else… Someone else; Laura wanted to redeem herself by joining them—Of all her past mistakes she was going to start over in this new life, she wanted a better world for her son, she may-be a true protector a guardian of the phoenix’s and forever will be; she had to break away from the clans to be apart of something bigger something more pure something that would help this chaotic world; true peace. Soon over time this would take the road of a re-birth from being alive for such a long time it’s become a routine she had to change her face every few hundred years; along with that she had those life traumatic moments and she needed a new start. With that she joined the Ailward Guard and she has been serving the aspects for the next several hundreds of years.

Hearing about her family taking residence within the city of Evermore it was located in Colorado. She heard word that her nephew had been taken captive and her niece had taken it within her hands to track him down; Laura fought the part of herself that wanted to drop everything she has taken a value to. Just to be with her family she always felt like a second mother to those children as she aided them throughout their life. She has always been their for them through thick and thin; the woman has done well in balancing her family with her role in the guard. She knows that peace must be kept within the world and that one of the reasons she never lost touch with her family she wishes to bring them into the light to show them that there is another way of living; evil may never die but it doesn’t mean the light can’t overthrow it to begin again.

"To protect, to progress and to restore balance" She repeated under her breath as she looked forward to a new life; she knew her old one was just around the corner threatening to pull her back she would always be the guardians of the Phoenix's but she was looking forward to a new start within the Ailward Guard, away from the darkness of her past.
