Rose Hathaway
This bitch is made up of muscles and sass. I love her and of course, I wish I am her. She has a best friend who's a Moroi (vampire, the good ones, like Edward Cullen in Twilight) with special powers. Next best thing will be to have a best friend who can grant you 3 wishes, am I right? Rose herself is part Moroi and part Damphir (half Moroi and half human), which in species term, will make her a Damphir. She has Moroi's strength and fast healing abilities. Aside from that, she has to rely a lot on her combat skills. Yes, a Damphir's "job" is to protect the Morois against anything that will endanger them, including the Strigois (vampires, like those evil kind).
Being oh-so-rebellious, Rose had once escaped from the academy with her best friend, Lissa (or Princess Vasilisa Dragomir) to experience the freedom to live amongst the normal human society. While trying to escape, she sort of got into a fatal accident, which of course she did not die because Lissa healed her and brought her back to life. Thinking that she only suffered minor injury, a special ability within her started to manifest where she is able to get into Lissa's head and be able to read, hear her thoughts and see things from her very own eyes. That, my readers, is what the book called Shadow Kissed.
Oh did I mention Rose is hot? She has pretty hair, face and a huge rack. Damphirs that got involve in the guardian role are mostly males and only a handful of females (usually ugly ones, I presumed) scattered around the world. So it's not surprising that plenty of her classmates (both Damphirs and Morois) will hit on her now and then. But she only have her eyes and heart set for one Damphir. Dimitri Belikov, her mentor. It is highly NOT recommended that 2 active guardians to be involved. Plus Dimitri has a chance of being Lissa's guardian as well (royalties get double protection). So when the time comes, these 2 have no choice but to protect Lissa first. Despite the odds, they did fell in love and have sex and such...
Dimitri Belikov
Oh my, this guy, I pictured him to be so hot, it hurts. Tall, muscular and Russian. He's like 6 years older than Rose, ie. only 24, but the guy that will play him in the movie looks like he's 34! Angry! I for god's sake I really wanna chop off his ponytail! Being the older, mature, mentor in the academy, he had to resist his true need of love... of Rose actually. The rest of the Damphir girls he's training probably look like lesbos. He has a weird fetish for Rose's waving, long dark hair. Although I secretly suspect he's a boob-man.
They called him God in the academy for his immense strength and abilities that's unmatched by any Damphirs in the world. Oh, by the way, the Morois are pussies - they don't even know how to throw punches. Morois will hide behind their guardians for protection, despite having super powers (earth, air, water, fire, spirit - yeah, CAPTAIN PLANET!). He gave Rose additional trainings for the 2 years she was gone from the academy (when they ran away to join the society) and fell in love, in full secrecy of course.
Unfortunately for him, during a major battle, instead of being killed, he got turned into a Strigoi and ran off to Russia to reign and hide from Rose. Not for long though. His lover went to search for him and eventually lure him back to the country only to turn him back to a Damphir. How? Using Lissa's powers. Sadly, Dimitri did not respond the way she thought he would after being turned back. He devoted his life to Lissa instead of rekindling the love lost. But of course, we now know he did so because he felt guilty of being a vicious Strigoi and almost turning Rose into one during their adventure in Russia.
Adrian Ivashkov
Another hunk that did not make an appearance until mid-series. Another Moroi who had graduated from the academy but chose to come back to help Lissa and himself to learn how to use their spirit powers, which is a rare one apparently. Adrian fell for Rose the first time he laid his eyes on her. I'm pretty sure he's a boob-man too. Being a royal, he has money at his disposal and eventually transferred half of his fortune to finance Rose's adventure in Russia.
The book painted him as the bad boy, that's not so bad after all. He's broody and his vices includes cigarettes and alcohol. In an ideal world, Rose and himself will be super compatible but of course, Rose has her dibs on Dimitri. Throughout the book, we can see how he is willing to sacrifice anything for Rose, which includes his acceptance to Dimitri being Rose's first. They didn't even have sex throughout the entire series. Once, they almost did it, but silly Adrian forgot his condoms.
If you ask me, Adrian is definitely A-class rebound material but not an ideal sidekick as he's laissez-faire attitude observed throughout most parts of the series makes you just want to abandon the whole Moroi societal shindigs and cuddle up in bed with this guy.
What I will sorely miss
- The adventures and mysteries that lurks beyond the academy and the royal court.
- How will Lissa, being a young elected queen, reign the court?
- Will Rose and Dimitri get married and have kids? Will either of them die eventually?
- What is that last damn favour from Lissa to Rose?
- Adrian... will he find a rebound and will he continue with his partying ways?
- Will they setup an organisation to change Strigois back to their original form instead of killing them?
- Will Rose and Dimitri be somewhat involved in the Academy to train new batch of Damphirs and even Morois?
- Will there be a book 7??? (Edited: I found book #6.5. Yeah, I'm a freak, I know!)
Seriously, I need help.
