Hmmmm I've been thinking far too much about who this character is (I have far to much time on my hands I think!!)
And my over active imagination has come up with her possibly being one of the mighty, the mighty heart maybe. I thought maybe Kifirin or Griffin grabbed her from earth dumped her on Le-Ath Veronis where Gavin ends up her sire after an accident or something. The two snippets may be completely un-releated and different people but that's what I'm thinking, lol.

On the new snippet, it sounds like she was taken from around our time: earth tablets vs comp-vids.
Also talk about no belief it vampires and only knowing about them from movies. It will be interesting to find out who abducted, threatened, and maybe put curse on her ... if the curse is actually a curse and not an ability. If she is to become the mighty heart, which I think is possible, then it has to be someone who caught her with skills not yet up there. Or she might be someone similar to Reah. Maybe its Kay, Ashe's wife, who isn't a mighty, but is in the future time. I don't see any description, so can't rule out Kay or the mighty heart yet as this character. It isn't the other females we known like Lissa, Reah, and the usual mates/daughters we know from Lissa's/Reah's world. This snippet likely preceeds the snippet scene with Gavin. The Gavin snippet sounds like it is after her arrest for a crime she didn't commit. Thoughts?
Sounds like good thinking to me Bethan. We know that the Mighty can move through time, that they have to be born into the mortal races if they want to be able to actively help them and they can then become immortal (by being turned vampire for example). I get the feeling that the Mighty Heart had lots of sadness in her early life, if this is indeed she perhaps Connie is taking us along for the ride as she develops into a Mighty. I do wonder what the poor girl's curse is (definitely assuming the new narrator is female).
I think you are right on the ordering of the snippets Jballaustin. This new one seems like the first couple of pages of a new book. At the end the narrator seems well on her way to starvation, and depending on the severity of the crime she is accused of she may have taken other damage as well. If it is the same person I'm wondering why it was Gavin who performed the turn, my impression was that it is something he would not voluntarily do.
I guess she isn't even being paid. If she was, I would expect her to maybe go out to a restaurant and get the veggies she needs. It sounds like she is just living off what she is supplied. Possibly, she is still to afraid to speak up due to the threats she got during her transfer, what ever threats those were. So, starvation possible, but you would think someone would notice before then. However, starvation, arrest, and accident that forces Gavin to turn her is something maybe.
Omg omg I've just realised after demons dream it will be a whole two months before we get our next fix of Connie's fantastic work with the start of the god wars and blood double
