Backstory[]
Madeline Vespa was born to Carolina Vespa a clear sighted mortal "witch" and Dionysus, god of wine, vegetation, fertility, festivity, ritual madness, religious ecstasy, and theatre in Salem, Massachusetts, during 1675. Because her mother and herself were considered "witches" and that was taboo at the time. Anyways, she would usually sneak out from her mother's "witchcraft". She would practice her very own, along with some orphan girls from the nunnery. By the time of the Salem Witch Trials came, she saw her mother die in front of her. They (the Puritans) sent her to nunnery to "cleanse her sins". She was left with depression and eating disorder for many years. After being the nunnery (at the age of 19), she "wed" Benjamin and they had two children. Once after she was finally at peace, her daughter (Paulette) got convulsive ergotism (a fungal parasite, often infects grasses, wheat, and rye grown in warm, wet climates after cold winters) and died. Carlton died by an attack by a monster. Madeline stayed in Salem until she was 22, she meet her father and stepmother (Ariadne), and joined the Cult of Dionysus, for 327 years (her father made her immortal). Soon after she went to Greece to find something that was missing, and the gods blessed with a house next to a daughter of Astraeus. As years went by Zoe made her house The Casa Demigod, and she became like a Wine Aunt to the demigods. She has become a motherly figure for her ancestor's friends.
