Justina Crawfield

Justina Crawfield is the mother of Cat Crawfield.

Early life
Justina grew up in Licking Falls, Ohio. In her youth, she was seduced by a newly turned vampire, Maximillian Williams. Her experience sleeping with him was a traumatic one, as Max hid his vampirism until afterwards, when he showed her the vampiric green glow of his eyes. Justina later twisted the story to claim that it was rape when she in fact slept with him of her own free will. After this experience, she developed a strong hatred for all vampires.

Motherhood
Five months after her experiences with Maximillian, Justina gave birth out of wedlock to a half-vampire daughter, Catherine Crawfield. Licking Falls being a small town, Justina's out-of-wedlock pregnancy was a permanent tarnish on her reputation, and young Cat was called a bastard by her peers. Justina kept the truth of Cat's heritage and father until the girl was sixteen.

Not long after Cat learned of her vampiric bloodline, the vampire Gregor found her and wanted her for himself, so he used his vampire influence on Justina to make her believe he was an old friend of hers, come to take Cat away for her own safety. After Cat was returned to her mother, Justina's memory was likely modified to forget the event as well.

In her sixteenth year, Cat began killing vampires, a fact which greatly pleased Justina, as this meant that there was one less "evil" vampire in the world.

Justina was horrified when she went to visit Cat at college one day and unintentionally discovered that Cat's romantic interest was a vampire. She demanded that Cat choose between them. Although Cat eventually choose Bones, her involvement in the killing of Governor Oliver and the ensuing circumstances forced Cat and Bones to take Justina and flee together for their safety. During this time, they stayed at the house of the ghoul Rodney for a night. The next day, Cat, who believed that leaving Bones would be best in the interest of safety, abruptly left the house while he was out and essentially cut off all relations with him, much to Justina's joy. Cat took a job hunting vampires with the FBI, and Justina obtained a house nearby.
