This is a fan imagining it. Fan-fiction. Not really their backstory. Or is it? (NO. Ah, I am disappoints.)
Helena and Persephone Fanfiction Origin
The two sisters, with Helena being the younger sister (the more emo and goth looking of the two). Are wearing brightly colored in the ‘Hot Topic’ range clothing. Made me imagine their backstory after I saw their image and encountered them in the game (which is fantastic BTW).
They both are girls of the early 1990s working in mall at a ‘Hot Topic’ like store. They love their job.
Their favorite band is ‘Direwolves of Midwinter’! ‘Winter is Cumming!’ Band members names after storms, Winter (Lead Singer), Fall, Summer and Spring. Why this important? Because it sounds cools. Also the sisters want to fuck the entire band.
DoW rocks! (Band is even more fictional than this fanfic.)
There is a new hire at their store, a teenage boy named “ Darktide” (real name is Joshua), who is into goth and dun dun dun.. a newly risen vampire (he works the night shifts there, his coven wants the store discount).
Helena of course loves this boy (or doesn’t , who cares, everything's dark, like whatever...), however the boy finds something fascinating about Persephone being so much more bold and brightly colored in comparison (Persephone used to wear pastels more often, especially leg warmers!) and wants to turn her. His first victim (in more than one way, he is virgin vampire, ha ha ha ha. The funnier thing is he doesn’t know about the sisters’ true secret! FUTA).
Darktide wants to start his own coven (his current coven thinks he is dumb, only pure luck he was turned in first place. The coven wanted a pet to play with. He is obvs the pet.
Anyways Darktide keeps attemping to get alone time with Persephone, but she is not interested and recommends hanging out with her younger sister, ‘ like you almost dress the same! Maybe she will let you borrow some of her outfits, ha ha ha'. (Darktide is youngish looking effeminate boy)
She keeps making fun of his vampire name, ‘ Dark tide? Who the names themself after a girl's period? Ha ha ha.’ I know another ‘dark tide’, but sometimes his cousin ‘Light tide’ visits instead!
Joshua thought it was cool, ‘DARK TIDE’ is coming! The end of the world is here!
(Persephone to Helena): 'Why you like him Hel’, he is more like ‘Dork Tide’, as Persephone rolls her eyes'.
Helena gets jealous as when Darktide is forced to spend time with her in the store, he can’t stop talking about Persephone, wanting to know Peresphones interests and likes. No interest in Helena at the time.
One night towards closing time finally Darktide gets Persephone in a vulnerable position and attacks her, actually biting her. Helena sees this and grabs nearest thing she can find (a Budweiser pool cue) and kills him ( a less than mediocre vampire killed by less than mediocre beer brand), with Persephone slowly turning into vampire on floor.
Helena loves her sister so much, as the jealously dissipates, she cuts her wrist and impales Darktide's fangs into her wrist, also turning herself into vampire. She then falls to floor hugging her sister, as they both slowly turn in the dark night, like a slow rolling dark tide!
Obviously vampires don’t turn to dust in that dimension, just remain staked and eventually decompose. over long time.
While Persephone and Helena have different clothing/style taste, they are both sisters, and Helena always looks out for Persephone growing up. While they have spent hundreds of years together and now in ‘another' different dimension (thats another story), they never let any man get between them (they always share, just like the game).
Besides being vampires, they still have love of band ‘Direwolves of Midwinter’. The lead singer is so dreamy!
