Vanora Halloran

"“There is no rest for the wicked. In order to be the best, you must strive for power. Nothing less.” -Vanora to Hadrian during training." Vanora is one of the villains in the Marilon series. Corrupted by the power of a line of witches who come before her, she aims to showcase her power as well as seize control over her children.

History
Although it seems she has always had a cold facade, Vanora’s personality has been altered through a curse from witches that have come before her. Once a caring and determined young girl, she soon became a powerful witch to be feared. As the curse within her blood was awoken, she would continue to harness even more powerful Magic over the years. Despite the corruption coursing through her veins, Vanora still held a a piece of her younger, kinder self inside of her. For a while, she was able to keep the curse at bay. When Hadrian was born, she was a warmhearted single mother who would do anything for her little Gold. A few years later, Vanora married Richard and had her second child, Silver. There was a short period of time where they were a loving family; however, the corruption took control of her body with a vengeance at the first signs of Magic blossoming within Hadrian. Once the curse had a hold on her again, she began to crave the feeling of power, pushing this onto her oldest child as well. She began to train and physically exhaust him until he was powerful enough to take on the curse as next in line, just as she did herself years prior. Seeing this demise of their family dynamic, Richard took their youngest child, SIlver, away with him, leaving Hadrian with Vanora. Through harsh training, she was convinced that her golden child would be the one to take on the power she stored within herself, but eventually abandoned him to grow on his own, awaiting her return.

Personality
Vanora is seen as having a cold exterior without much remorse for her actions. Through her self-absorbed attitude, she fashions her personality based on the need to control her power. Even though this is due to her corruption, it is the mask that many see her wearing. In her last few moments, the power raging inside of her fades, allowing a glimpse into the young girl she used to be.

Appearance
Vanora has long pale blonde, almost white, hair that cascades down her back, usually pulled up into a high ponytail. Her natural green eyes show her emotions, however, they transform into a purple hue when under the influence of her corruption and portray only thirst for power. Her eyes are purple up until the moment she is dying, where they return to green. She wears clothing with a darker color scheme and a bold lip to compliment her natural beauty. Additionally, she wears a variety of accessories which include jewelry like layered necklaces, a gold ear cuff in the shape of vines as well as a matching stud on the other ear, and rings, one of which matches the one she gifted to her son.
