Bliss Llewellyn is one of the main protagonists in the first cycle of the Blue Bloods series and also the heroine of the Wolf Pact spin-off novel.
Born to Forsyth Llewellyn and BobiAnne Llewellyn in this lifetime, she grew up in Texas but later moved to New York City when her father became a Senator. She has a younger sister, Jordan Llewellyn, who she's very fond of. Bliss is, in truth, Azazel, the daughter of Lucifer and Gabrielle, making her one of the most important figures in the Blue Blood universe. For centuries, she has served as the unwilling vessel of the Visitor, Lucifer’s spirit, who manipulated her actions and haunted her every incarnation. Throughout the series, Bliss struggles with her dual nature—caught between the darkness she was born into and her determination to fight against it.
Appearance[]
At the beginning of the series, Bliss is presented as a gorgeous teenager able to rival Mimi Force's ethereal beauty with her own wild looks but still not as strikingly beautiful as her half-sister Schuyer van alen. Tall and athletic, with curly red hair, green eyes and fair skin, Bliss is the ultimate Texan girl.
- There was something about the way the New York girls put it together that made her look like a fashion freak who'd never cracked open a magazine.

She has a model's figure, as she is hired by Stitched for Civilization as a model, along with Schuyler Van Alen.
Biography[]
The Repository believes Bliss Llewellyn is the first true child of Gabrielle, the consequence of a mating with Lucifer, however her exact birth date is unknown. Originally supposed to have been destroyed by the Regis at birth, Bliss' existence is now believed to be the consequence of a betrayal by an anonymous figure. While the exact events are unknown, it is indicated that Allegra was uninformed of Bliss's existence for centuries.
The House of Records officially records Bliss as holding the spirit of the angel Yura, an angel of light. In reality, Bliss is not Yura, as Yura was Finished at some point before. This was claimed by the Llewellyns because of their secret loyalty to Lucifer, and they did not want anyone knowing that she was really Azazel, who was meant to be dead.
Past lives[]
Giulia de Medici (Florence)[]
Giulia de Medici is not a reincarnation of Azazel, she was born naturally into this lifetime but raised under a false identity by Duc Patrizo de Medici (Malakai) and his wife, Antonia de Medici (Andela). Patrizo was present for Azazel's birth, being entrusted by Andreas (Michael) and Ludivio (Metraton) to kill the babe. He betrayed the Coven and keep Azazel alive, since she was the daughter of Tomasia (Gabrielle) and Lucifer, she was to be a vessel for him.
She was tormented by Lucifer from an early age, hearing his voice inside her mind from the start of her transformation. She was pledged to Paolo Ghiberti (Xathaneal) in this cycle, although it is unknown if they were ever married or bonded. Growing tired of her father's voice, she attempted to kill herself at sixteen by throwing herself from the balcony of the Medici villa. She was unsuccessful due to Lucifer's hold on her body.
Mary Brewster / Goody Bradford (Plymouth)[]
During the Coven’s colonial cycle in Plymouth, Azazel was reincarnated as Mary Brewster, born to William Brewster (Malakai) and his wife May Brewster (Andela). She traveled with her parents and the rest of the Coven to the New World. Like all her reincarnation's, she was plagued by Lucifer’s whispers, driving her toward despair. In an attempt to free herself from his control, Mary attempted suicide by dousing herself in oil and setting herself on fire. She survived, healed by Lucifer, who refused to relinquish his hold on her.
Following this event, Mary presumably left her family and later met William Bradford (Xathaneal). The two fell in love and were married. Seeking to distance herself from her past and assume a new life, Mary adopted a new persona, taking the Puritan honorific “Goody” and her husband’s surname, becoming known as Goody Bradford for the rest of this cycle.
Margaret Stanford (Newport)[]
Azazel was reincarnated as Margaret “Maggie” Stanford in 19th-century Newport. She was born to Tiberius Stanford (Malakai), founder of Stanford Oil, and Dorothea Stanford (Andela). A celebrated socialite, Maggie became engaged to Alfred, Lord Burlington (Xathaneal), but behind her public image she was tormented by the same nightmares and destructive urges that haunted her previous lives. She was eventually committed to the St. Dymphna Asylum for suicidal tendencies and delusions, symptoms of the Visitor’s influence.
On the night of the 1870 Patrician Ball, Maggie vanished without a trace. Her disappearance devastated her family—Tiberius died of grief, and Dorothea’s mental health deteriorated to the point of madness, convinced her daughter was still alive. Two years later, Maggie’s body was discovered floating in the Hudson River, preserved unnaturally well for someone missing for so long. This was her latest attempt to end her suffering; she had drowned herself in the river. However, she once again survived due to Lucifer’s control, her body vanishing mysteriously from the morgue soon after.
Current incarnation[]
Early life[]
Bliss was born to BobiAnne and Forsyth Llewellyn in Houston, Texas, away from New York City and the Blue Blood community. This was because the two were loyal to Lucifer, and had decided to beat his daughter for the cycle. She was passed off as Yura on records, a light angel who had in reality been finished. However, they both made it seem like Bliss's mother had died in childbirth and pretented BobiAnne was only her step-mother. Forsyth and BobiAnne married when Bliss was three, and not long after, the couple had another daughter, Jordan (who was really sent by Cordelia to moniter the Llewellyns due to her suspicions).
At some point in her youth, Bliss visited her great-aunt Gertrude at her ranch, where the 110-year-old woman said that her time had come but that she and Bliss would meet again. She died the day after, and at her funeral, Bliss heard her parents say that it was about time she died.
In high school, Bliss was the leader of the cheerleading squad.

Quotes[]

- Jordan Llewellyn: "You know who did it, don't you? You were there."
- Bliss: "What do you mean?"

- Bliss Llewellyn has her own spin-off novel, Wolf Pact. It is the only novel to be sold at first in parts, and only Blue Bloods-focused spinoff to not be subtitled "A Blue Bloods Novella".
- Bliss is the only vampire or angel known never to have the chance to enter Heaven, as she was born after the angels fell, but by the time the gates to paradise were reopened, she was a Wolf.
- She is also the third-youngest vampire to exist, after Schuyler Van Alen (born half-vampire), and Oliver (made a vampire at the end of the series)
- She is one of the only characters not mentioned after the events of Gates of Paradise.
- She is one of the few characters to change species throughout the course of the series; the other being her cycle sister, Jordan Llewellyn, and Oliver Hazard-Perry.
- However, she is the only one to change twice; first time from Blue Blood to mortal, then from mortal to Wolf.
