I did some free-writing on Wednesday about Dresden. The writing is in a rather wandering style, but I considered more about Dresden as a displaced figure between the human and vampire worlds. Dresden appears in the third novella of my trilogy, and I considered writing a fourth novella or short story about Dresden specifically. Because Dresden was born of a vampire's pact with the earth, she has many qualities of a vampire, but doesn't drink blood. She also is intimately tied to the earth: the sun, soil, and water, and so she can't survive in the underground where humans live. Dresden is deeply lonely but doesn't derive satisfaction from either vampires or humans. I see her story as reflecting back to Ophelia's story because I plan for Johnny, Ophelia's younger brother, to make an appearance in this story.
