Portia Lorelei is a human blood hunter and a member of the Lorelei family. She was played by Laura Bailey in "Liam's One-Shot: The Song of the Lorelei" (OSx23).

Description[edit | edit source]

Appearance[edit | edit source]

In her werewolf form, Portia is two or three inches taller and muscular, covered in black fur on top with a stark white underside, resembling a skunk but with reversed patterns.[3]

Personality[edit | edit source]

Portia is described as accomplished and driven. She was shown to be very headstrong, demanding to undergo the Taming two years early and charging into a large group of skeletons without knowing if she'd get reinforcements.

Biography[edit | edit source]

Background[edit | edit source]

Portia had no memories of her mother Rosalind and instead was raised by her father and her great-aunt Katerine.[4] As both her elder siblings chose paths outside of the Lorelei family traditions, she was the first of Hal's children to fit the mold of a Lorelei noble. She excelled at everything, demanded to undergo the Taming two years early and while she loved her elder siblings she was glad to assume their seat of power.[5]
