Basic Info

Name:	Elisabeta // Mina Murray

Bio

Mina Murray was once a simple schoolmistress, engaged to bank clerk Jonathan Harker. However, everything changed when Jonathan was sent to Transylvania to negotiate purchase of a house by Count Dracula, who was discovered to be a vampire. Jonathan underwent a terrible ordeal in Dracula's clutches, and then was left to the tender mercies of Dracula's brides when the count departed for England. Escaping, he recuperated in a monastery, where Mina joined him after receiving word of his plight, and where the two finally married. They returned to England, but after Mina's young friend, Lucy Westerna, was turned into a vampire by Dracula, Jonathan teamed up with Professor Van Helsing and Lucy's fiancee (Lord Arthur Holmwood) and former suitors (Quincey Morris and Dr.Jack Seward) to stop the vampire. They were unable to prevent Dracula from sinking his fangs into Mina, but managed to drive the count out of England and back to Transylvania. The group pursued, seeking to destroy the nosferatu before Mina's transformation into one of the undead became complete, and finally slew the Count in the grounds of his own castle.

To be more precise, it was Mina -- at Dracula's insistence -- who ended up taking his life inside the same chapel where his beloved Romanian Queen once lay in death.

However, even after his apparent death, Mina could not stop thinking about Dracula and most of the changes that he had wrought in her were permanent. She was no longer as prudish as she had once been and found herself confused by her awakening sexuality. Not understanding why Jonathan could not accept and embrace the new desires she was feeling, Mina fled from him.

After leaving London, she heard rumours that Dracula was still alive and decided to travel to Transylvania to his castle to see if she could find him.
