Red Blood Students
While the students at Duchesne mostly come from old Blue
Blood families, a number of Red Bloods have also been allowed to enroll. Most of the human families are either very wealthy or connected to the Blue Bloods in some way. There are also students who have been granted financial aid and scholarships, in order to make the school more “diverse.”
Breton, Ava: A very popular Red Blood in Bliss’s class, whose friends are almost all Blue Bloods, though she doesn’t know it.
She was Jamie Kip’s familiar and girlfriend before he ditched her for Allison Ellison.
Ellison, Allison (Ally Elli): A Red Blood from Duchesne and
Jamie Kip’s girlfriend and human familiar. A scholarship kid from Queens, she is nonetheless very popular for her outerborough “exoticism.” Ally told Bliss about Dylan’s memorial service and the drug overdose cover-up of his death.
Mullins, Kitty: Jack’s human familiar; however, it appears he did not make use of the relationship very much, as Mimi describes him as always “tired and drained.”
Walsh, Haley: A girl in Bliss’s Ancient Civilizations class who thinks “Senior year is going to rock!”
Partial List of Duchesne Faculty and Administration
Mr. Anthony: A boyish recent Yale grad and (overly) enthusiastic chemistry teacher. Dismissed from Duchesne for getting a student pregnant.
Mr. Korgan: Mr. Anthony’s boring, old replacement
Cecil Malloy: Dean of Students at Duchesne. Not an alum but
“a very adequate facsimile.”
Mr. Orion: A mustachioed, curly-haired Brown graduate with a penchant for oversized sweaters. He teaches Ethics and
English.
Madame Fraley: French teacher who looks like she’s been at the school since the 1880s (most likely a Blue Blood Enmortal)
APPENDIX B:
A Partial List of Canine Familiars
Canine familiars are part of a vampire’s soul transferred into the physical world to protect young Blue Bloods until they come into complete control of their powers. Canine protectors routinely merge back into the Blue Blood upon completion of their mission. The current generation of Blue Bloods is the most talented yet, and because none of the canine familiars have made an appearance since the attack at the cathedral, we may conclude that perhaps the young Blue Bloods are in close to full possession of their abilities. In the past, traumatic events have shown to make a young vampire grow up more quickly than expected.
