Armada Kinsey

 Mada's human life wasn't all that exciting. She was a military brat, born in Wyoming and raised around the world. Her longest stints were six years in Germany and three in China before her father passed away when she was 16. Armada became a hellion at that point, rebelling against her mother and brothers. When her mother re-married less than a year later, Armada left the family home and never looked back. Rather than float on the wind like some kind of tree-hugger, she got to work. Armada bussed tables and danced on them in order to afford to buy her own gym, a business venture that she was damn serious about. Working out had been how she connected with her father, and they'd shared a dream of owning their own one day. 

It took her nearly three years to save up enough, but at the age of 20, Mada paid her first month's rent and got a loan from the bank to purchase her equipment. It didn't take long for business to boom. 

Four years later, she met Kael, who was beautiful and, while she wasn't often interested in others, he absolutely enthralled her. How was she to know what he was or what he would turn her into? 

As far as the human was concerned, she was in a relationship with a tall, handsome man who threw himself into her life and offered her the stars. As far as the man was concerned, she was an easy target to fill his bed on lonely nights. 

Against her wishes, he paid off her loans without her knowledge and had any funds that she sent to the bank put in a private account in her name. 

After a searing three months of a "relationship", he took Armada's life with little ceremony and even less regard for her wishes on the matter. Instead, he simply told her how it was and continued as if nothing was wrong even as she mourned her humanity and took every opportunity to spew venom at him. For nine years, she rebelled against his control, but always wound up under his thumb again. It was during the "Night of Blood" that she was finally freed from her sire. It was upsetting, of course, that her only connection to the rest of the world of the Kindred was cut, but she was free. Of course, the Sabbat were being taken out slowly and she hadn't expected something like this, but... What could she do? Her sire had quickly abandoned her when he got word that it was time to leave, she'd barely had 10 years of experience behind her and, when she was found huddled in the corner of her sire's home, nearly naked, emaciated, and chained to a radiator, her blessing came in the form of Luken Di Marco. A man who was beautiful, cruel, and thankfully, merciful. Rather than exterminate her along with the rest of the Sabbat that they'd found, she was taken under his care and managed to put her life back together.  

She now owns her gym again and has been on a never-ending journey of self-perfection. She is insistant that she will never again be someone else's victim, that she will never again trust someone so quickly, and that she will never not be loyal to Luken Di Marco. After all, she does owe him her life.
