Seana Eva Kane (Born Seana Petrescu) is a vampire and a main character in The Hathaway Chronicles. She is also the primary antagonist in Darkness Descending. Throughout the series she has sired many people, including Scott Aldridge and Hazel Moore.
Early History
Seana Kane, born Seana Eva Petrescu, was born somewhere in Northern Ireland, on October 11, 1885. She was born to a man named Alaric Petrescu, and his wife Eva. They named her after her mother. Her father was part Romanian and Irish descent, while her mother was full Irish. In the spring of 1886, her parents were struck and killed in a wagon accident, leaving her an orphan. Her ancestor, Orion Petrescu, who looked after his descendants, took her and left her to be raised by the Kane's, a couple who were sired by Orion, and had been wanting to raise a child. However, Orion's wife Claire almost wanted to raise her herself, since she never had children, but saw Seana's fate that she would one day become one of them, a vampire, no matter where she went. And it wouldn't of been safe if Seana stayed with them, since Claire and Adelaide had been being targeted by the Circle of Nine. It was revealed that Seana was the last living of his family line. Afterwards, Riley Kane and his wife came to England and adopted Seana in late 1886, and they returned to Ireland. She was raised as the only child of the Kane's, to whom they adored, and raised her to be kind and helping to others.

Appearance
Seana was described as giving off a mysterious look, having light pale skin, long raven black hair, and steel gray eyes, at first glance anyone would be enchanted with her. She often used this to lure people to do what she wanted. In 2012, she usually she wore black clothing, a somewhat "bad girl" look.
Personality
Human
As a human, Seana was very adventurous as a child, and she frequently went on vacations with her adoptive parents, who loved to travel, and wanted Seana to see the world. When she became 16, she became a nurse, and worked at the local sanatorium in Ireland. Knowing her parents could use their blood to heal others, and asked why they didn't, they had said that it was wrong to control nature, and to let people pass on. At 18, she asked to become like them, since she wanted to use her newfound vamprisim to heal others. They warned her that she could never have children, and would never age another day, but regardless, they gave her her wish.
Vampire
Once a vampire, she was still how she was when she was human. But after a pack of werewolves came and slaughtered her family, in which they were actually innocent, they never harmed a human being. She became enraged, switching off her humanity and became a ruthless killer. Ever since then, she has taken joy in seeing others suffer, but pitied very few, in which she turned them into vampires. She is described as a psychopath, and enjoys making people suffer for her own amusement. She tracked down Scott so she could kill Sheldon, since Scott protected him from her, and tried to kill Lydia because Scott harbored feelings for her, though she was unsuccessful. After Lydia forced her humanity back on, she had become remorseful and horrified to what she had done. Right before Scott was about to kill her, Lydia intervened, telling him to let her go, since she believed everyone deserved second chances. Since being on her own, she had begun to live life, and used her abilities to help save peoples lives, like how she did back in her human life.
