In-depth Analysis
Personality: marionette could be seen as one of the most level-headed vampires you could ever meet. she can be very opinionated at times, but she tries not to let that part of her control what she says and does. though she does have a rather quick temper at select times, she does think things through (often too much), and will answer as honestly and thoughtfully as she possibly can. as she has lived for over 2000 years, she is very wise in the world, and she is not afraid to share any of her wisdom with anybody. she tends to make sure that her opinions are heard as well as everyone else's. she'll become rather irritable if she is not given a chance to speak.
marionette tends to be a very gentle vampire, though she will show no kindness to a human. she's only her polite self to other vampires. she feels that humans are below them all, and she has no reason to want to be kind to them. this prejudice has come from the fact that she's over 2000 years old, and she's been living as a vampire for so long that she's never really thought about it any other way.
marionette has a very short temper at times. it's mostly only when another vampire has annoyed her to the point that she just wants to get them off her back. she does have a weakness for blood, and like many other vampires, she can't resist a great meal, or even a snack for that matter.
Detailed history: marionette was born some where in the russian country. she was born with her twin brother, benzir, in a small village. their father was the village's leader, and their mother was the village's healer. as the youngest of the two, marionette was told that she would have no rights to the leadership of her village, therefore they would marry her off to the son of another village leader. marionette was far from happy about the arrangement, even when it came time for her to become the wife of the neighboring village's son. but before such arrangement took place, marionette's brother was killed. little did she know that he'd become a vampire.
marionette was soon married, and just as soon, she was with child. the pregnancy went along fine, but the birth did not. there were complications during childbirth that caused marionette to bleed nearly to death. her brother, looking on from the darkest part of the village, couldn't resist the need to help his twin sister. he did bite her, and she did become a vampire. having become such, marionette was angry with her parents for forcing her to marry one she did not love. she took her frustration out on them by making them her first ever kills.
soon after she escaped russia with her brother and her infant son. they headed somewhere into the mountains in europe, and hid out on the outskirts of a tiny village. they fed only when they desperately needed to, careful not to draw too much attention to themselves. her brother took a job as a blacksmith, just to keep the attention off them. the little boy, loren, aged quickly in the eyes of the two vampires, but they themselves never aged. marionette looked on while her own son grew up without a single inkling of what his mother and uncle were. by the time he was seventeen he began to notice that his mother and uncle had looked the same all of his life.
at this realization he cornered his mother and asked her about it. when marionette could only give him a guilty look, he ran off deeper into the mountains. unfortunately he ended up slipping off the edge of a cliff. before he could bleed out, marionette had raced to him and had bitten him, out of fear that she would lose her son. he turned right in her arms, and he too was thrown into the world of being a vampire.
the coven of three went on to live through many major wars and events. marionettes favorite part of her life was the day that world war two started. she found the humans rather foolish for waging a war on their own kind, only to have millions of people destroyed by their own inability to work things out in a rational manner. the three continued to move on from place to place until they finally settled in volterra, italy. it was the year 2000, and marionette finally decided it was time for her to settle down. her brother on the other hand, he continued to travel, while marionette's son stayed faithfully at her side. soon after settling in volterra, marionette joined the volturi.

Roleplay sample:
Marionette looked up from her book, glancing around her quarters. She felt the overwhelming stab of loneliness in her cold heart. Being a Volturi wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. So far she'd spent most of her time alone, with only a few interactions over the course of the few weeks that she'd been there. She'd tried to stay on everyone's good side, and dreaded the fact that she might have pissed a few Volturi off. Today was like every other day. She spent most of her time in her room, reading some type of literature, waiting, hoping actually, to be sent on some kind of task. She had had no luck.
She glanced about her room. It was light inside, as she kept her electric lights on most the time. During times where she felt thirsty, she normally just lit a few candles and called it good. But she wasn't thirsty today. She'd just fed the night before, and had spent her remaining time in her room, away from everyone else. She looked down at herself, noting that it was about time to get ready for the day, though nothing spectacular might actually happen. She pushed herself from her favorite sofa and crossed the room in a few quick strides. She placed her book, Halo, on the shelf and turned toward her tiny bathroom. Though there was no toilet, Marionette made sure there was a shower. She may be a vampire, but she always liked to keep clean.
Stepping into the tiny shower, she washed quickly, making sure to get her long hair as clean as possible. She skipped out of the shower, feeling only the slightest shiver of cold against her skin. She dried herself off quickly, dressing in a short black dress. She let her long hair lay down her shoulders. As she came out of the bathroom, she tensed. She glanced toward her door, expecting someone to enter at any moment.
