Ambrosine

Ambrosine is a secondary character in MP Ashman's Black Hollow, as well as Black Hollow Part II.

Warning: Spoliers Ahead

Appearance:

Ambrosine appears as a black-haired eight year old girl, very pretty despite her pale sickly visage.

Fictional Character Biography:

Because Ambrosine is a vampire, not much is known about her before their first meeting. Even her true age is a mystery.

Jessica first encounters Ambrosine in the cellar of her family castle, not long after entering Atlantancia, where the girl is alone. Learning that the girl's parents died years ago, Jessica invites Ambrosine to travel with her, unaware of her dark secret.

The two girls find their way to Dragon's Pass, where they become separated during a Dragon attack; Jessica is found and escorted to the Silver Glade, Ambrosine's whereabouts are left unknown.

Ambrosine later makes her own way to the Glade, surprising Jessica during a midnight walk, but disappears just before Jessica encounters Sapphire.

Ambrosine appears once more while Jessica is with Ben, taking an instant dislike to him, or so it appears. Once again she flees, this time on the trail of a rat that has bitten Jessica. While hiding in a mudhole she encounters the Wizard, who manipulates her into working for him in order to obtain the fresh blood she needs to survive.

Returning to the Glade again, Ambrosine finally remains with Jessica and Ciara in the latter's cabin. Ambrosine becomes close to Ciara, apparently snubbing Jessica in the process.

Ambrosine plans to kill Ciara and deliver Jessica to the wizard, but is thwarted when Ciara is attacked by a werewolf.

As she transitions Ciara begins to sense Ambrosine's vampiric nature, endangering her existence as well as her plan, causing the vampire to flee the scene.

Ambrosine reappears  briefly in Black Hollow Part II, masquerading as the last remaining member of the Fairy species. Seducing Justin with her lie, she manipulates him until almost severing his friendship, and budding romance, with Ciara. Ultimately, however, she fails and her true identity is revealed by the neophyte werewolf. After a battle between the two, Ambrosine's ultimate fate is unknown.

Personality:

Evil Ambrosine is a manipulative, dishonest individual. Forsaking human ties because of her vampirism, her only real concern is the blood she needs to survive, and how best to obtain it. Soulless, she is incapable of true love or friendship, despises humanity and doesn't care who she hurts in her quest for survival.
