born a pureblood vampire into a loving family, shuhua had a blissful childhood. being an only child, she was deeply adored my both her parents, always spending time with them, playing around and have them read tales for her. she was attached to them by the hip and extrenely shy around strangers, so she didn't have many friends. she just preferred to spend time with her loving family. 

however, one night changed her entire life when she was 10, when a pack of werebeast raided her home. her parents had an unsettling feeling that night and before the werebeasts could strike, they decided to place shuhua in a cabinet, disguised as a hide and seek game. with a child's curiosity equipped, she decided to peek through the gaps of the cabinet door, only to witness her parents death right in front of her eyes. though it wasn't known how the werebeasts couldn't sniff her out, but she survived that horrific night. 

the aftereffects of that night's incident left shuhua as an empty shell, as if her soul had left her body, seeing that the only people she had known and loved brutally taken away from her. she was then sent to be under her uncle's care, only for him to toss her into an orphange, deeming that she was too much to handle as she couldn't bring herself to speak or eat for days after the incident.

life in the orphanage was easy for shuhua either. she was often bullied for her quiet demeanor and the caretaker couldn't care less about her either, seeing that there were too many kids in the orphange. she didn't settle well with foster families either, most of those that took her in physically abused her, treating her like a slave before returning her to the orphange, claiming that she was too weak for them. when she turned 16, she was forcefully thown out of the orphange for being too old for adoption. 

since then, she found herself a job at the cafe in the neighbourhood, making caffineated drinks and sweet treats for the locals. the owner was nice enough to stay in the small attic above the cafe, repourposed as a storeroom. she barely earns enough to support herself, and doesn't dare to dream due to her circumstances, she's just glad to the living peacefully.
