Backstory: Abisola is native to Yoruba, Africa. She learned the ways of her people and her family, especially Vodou and how to follow that religion. She was captured and brought to America at 18 as a part of the slave trade. Soon after her arrival she felt her spirit connect with the New World and the swamp and its creatures in a dark and cold way. She started to test the boundaries until a revolt broke out on the plantation she was owned by. She ended up escaping into the swamp. And there she’s lived ever since. Abisola separates her Vodou practices and this new hunger, this new black magic she’s brought into herself. She gets annoyed with those who say Vodou is evil. To stay alive and youthful she uses this New World magic to suck the life force of others and absorb it. She entices evil and those who do wrong into a cult, where she saps them slowly. She disposes of their husks to the alligators. She is a friend and guardian and defacto grandmother to the werewolves that protect the land and swamps. Abisola has made herself a steeple in the Creole/African American community of New Orleans. She sometimes questions whether she should be surviving when so many others haven’t. She’s had families and spouses over the years, but she outlives them.

Relationships: She cares for a bask of Alligators. They are her family and friends, her pets. She feeds them and cares for them. She swims with them often. A mother and guardian to the Rougarou Pack. Mama JuJu is called that because of the werewolf pups not saying her full name and it’s a cute nickname short for Mama June. Has tons of family and descendants; not afraid of commitment, and in touch with all of them. Whether old elderly children or new and fresh great great great grandbabies, or new children. She isn’t afraid to make a new family and fall in love all over again.
