Aina is the twin sister of Claudette. Born witches, Aina decided to become a vampire. Abe followed her, he was the child of a close family friend that the girls watched over. Inexplicably drawn to West, it was he that turned her (his very first). She has been tied to him since and does whatever he wants. Her relationship with her sister remains tenuous and Aina has told her that she should not seek her out unless she wants to become a vampire as well.

West (formerly known as Colter Hughes) was born of a human woman turned vampire. It was a complicated pregnancy and she was shunned from the Nghrau. She took up living with the witches when she had no where else to turn and they helped her, binding her unborn son against evil. When the bindings broke he would prematurely age and they would know he was up to trouble or had done something bad. They also rapidly aged him when he was first born so that he wouldn't be a blood thirsty baby. Being born without a soul he was a curious child and without a strong moral compass. His mother and the witches responsible for his binding tried to raise him properly, but one night his blood lust was too much to ignore. He killed his mother and drank her blood, breaking some of his bindings and aging him from a child to a young man.

His relationship with the other vampires has always been a touch strained, since he can walk in the sun without aging. He lived on his own until Aina found him. He is her maker and she is the only vampire he has made. He's debated about making more, but not until he can be more certain of their place within the Nghrau tribe.
