A dhampir is a being who is born of a Moroi and a Human. Dhampirs are guardians who are trained to protect all Moroi from Strigoi.. A dhampir is exactly half Human and half Moroi. A dhampir attends school to train to protect the Moroi. When the dhampir graduates, they are given their own Moroi to protect.
In order for a dhampir to bear offspring, they need to mate with whom?
A Moroi. A dhampir female can mate with any Moroi male in order to birth offspring. Dhampirs have a biological trait that does not allow them to reproduce with another dhampir or a Human. However, there are actually two ways for a dhampir to be born; 1) A dhampir male mates with a Moroi female, or, 2) A dhampir female mates with a Moroi male. A dhampir male mating with a Moroi female is very rare; in fact, it doesn't mention anything of the sort during the first three books of the series. However, Tasha Ozera wanted Dimitri to become her guardian as well as a lover in the second book. There are colonies of dhampir females who live together to raise their dhampir children. Moroi men come to visit these colonies to receive intimate satisfaction.
What is a Strigoi?
A Strigoi is an "undead" vampire who contains immense strength and compulsion.. The elements are alive within everything, and because they are alive means that a Strigoi can not use them. Strigoi are the very reason a dhampir trains to protect the Moroi. Although, they may be strong and have a lot of stamina, they are not quite the smartest. Still, you must remember to always be aware of your surroundings and be prepared to face a Strigoi when you least expect it.
There are two ways Strigoi are made. One way is for a Moroi to fully consume their victim's blood. What is the other way Strigoi are made?
By the sharing of blood with a Strigoi. It can either be by the will of someone who wishes to be Strigoi or by force from the Strigoi..
There are two ways to turn Strigoi:
1) A Strigoi can force you to change by the sharing of blood. Once you and the Strigoi share each other's blood, you will turn Strigoi. This can happen to anyone being a Moroi, dhampir, or a Human. 2) If a Moroi chooses to turn Strigoi (mostly to gain immortality), all they must do is drain all blood from their victim. "Moroi were alive; Strigoi were undead. Moroi were mortal; Strigoi were immortal. Moroi were born; Strigoi were made." -Rose Hathaway
What does it mean to be "shadow kissed"?
This means you are kissed by shadows and you are bonded in two ways; with death and with the Moroi.. When Lissa used Spirit to bring Rose back from the dead, she poured her life into her. This created two bonds. One of the bonds is between Lissa and Rose. They now have a psychic bond (although it is only a one way connection) which helps Rose with Lissa. Rose is also bonded with death. When she died, she crossed into death and she was kissed by the shadows. The bond increased when she killed the Strigoi and witnessed Mason's death. Now, she is able to see the undead and is visited by Mason's ghost. She is also able to sense the presence of a Strigoi.
When guardians kill Strigoi, they are awarded with Molnija marks. What does Molnija mean?
Lightning. Molnija is Russian for lightning and guardians receive these marks for every Strigoi they kill. They look like lightning bolts crossing each other. Along with Molnija marks, when a novice graduates and becomes a guardian, they earn a promise mark.
What is a dhampir who is training to be a guardian called?
Novice. Novices are dhampir students who go to school and train in combat to hunt Strigoi and protect their Moroi.
