Colleen James



 Colleen James is a former Witch who is married to Gregory James and mother of Vera ,  Connor  and adoptive mother to Eli.

Early Life
Born centuries ago, Colleen was a Witch who was hungry for power. She started practicing magic at a young age, being taught by her mother and went on to be accepted into the Grand Coven, where she met Rowena. Being that Rowena was born with magic while Colleen was taught, Colleen became poisoned with envy. Her life soon revolved around being Rowena's equal. Rowena promised Colleen all the power she desired, but only for the price of her first born. Colleen accepted these terms without a second thought and went on to became an influential witch. After that, the two became good friends.

As the years passed, Rowena had been expelled from the Coven and the two had lost touch. Seeking adventure, Colleen found herself in Australia where she met a man by the name Gregory James. Their affection for each other grew with each day and later Colleen left the Coven herself after deciding to pursue a normal life with a human. Soon after that she was with child and gave birth to her firstborn, Vera and two years later gave birth to Connor. Colleen and Greg feared that one day Rowena would come for Vera, however as time passed the couple was at ease, believing that perhaps because Colleen no longer practiced magic the covenant was obsolete.

Colleen and Greg's marriage hit a rough patch after Connor was born, Greg had finished his education and became a lawyer and had to travel a handful for work. The distance slowly tore them apart and Greg found comfort elsewhere.

Following Greg's affair, him and Colleen were on a path to reconciliation. It wasn't till months later they found out a child was a result of the affair. It was then when it was revealed that the woman Greg had lain with was Rowena. Weeks later the child was born and given the name Elizabeth. Greg and Colleen asked for the Grand Coven's help as the child was one born of magic and were given custody of Elizabeth as Rowena's past reflected poorly on her. Rowena flew into a fit of rage and swore to finish the deal her and Colleen had made centuries ago and captured Vera at the age of 5, to only make her her apprentice and teach her the ways of magic.

Losing Vera strained the couples' relationship and the two dealt with the ordeal in their own ways, however, Colleen projected some of her anger onto their youngest daughter. Colleen spent most of her time away from home, desperate to find her firstborn and so she began to practice magic once again.
