Lavinia Fairweather

"I'll be buggered if we'll permit our nephew to die like some commoner who slips in the bath. Not without a fight."

- Lavinia Fairweather

Lavinia Fairweather, also known as Vin, was a witch and the sister of Sophronia and Edna. Unlike their sister Edna, Sophie and Lavinia didn't join the Watchers' Council and chose to use their talent for magic to preserve their youth and pursue hedonistic, carefree lives.

By the time their grandnephew Rupert was a young boy dreaming of becoming a fighter pilot, Sophie and Lavinia approached Edna and her son to ask them for the Shard of Stronnos, a mystical artifact that could convert matter into energy and viceversa, so they could restore their lovers, which an unidentified light demon had transformed into beings of light and trapped in mirrors.

Edna gave the Shard to Sophie and Lavinia after young Rupert intervened and inadvertently made the light demon corporeal, and vulnerable to be killed.

Decades later, following the end of magic, Sophie and Lavinia sought the help of Angel and Faith to protect them from a large number of demons with whom they had made deals to remain eternally young, beautiful and athletic. The end of magic gave these demons the chance to demand the debts to be payed.

The two had also heard of Angel's plans for resurrecting Rupert and used the Shard, which they had kept for decades, to restore a Rupert's essence as a child and his innocence, which, according to Lavinia, he had lost the moment he activated the Shard's power.

Sophie and Lavinia stayed at Rupert's manor, though each of them had a different agenda. While Lavinia supported Angel's plan to resurrect Rupert, whom she considered necessary for the world, Sophie feared the possible consequences of Angel's plan and told Faith to stop the vampire should he go too far.
