September 21, 1836

“This is my birthday present from Louis. Use as I like, he tells me…

I do not understand entirely what is meant by birthday. Was I born into this world on the 21st of September or was it on that day that I departed all things human to become this?

My gentlemen parents are forever reluctant to illuminate such simple matters. One would think it bad taste to dwell on such subjects. Louis looks puzzled, then miserable, before he returns to the evening paper. And Lestat, he smiles and plays a little Mozart for me, then answers with a shrug: ‘It was the day you were born to us.’ ”

– Claudia de Lioncourt, Queen of the Damned

Is this her birthday? Or the night she was turned? They don’t answer her. I think it was the night she was turned, “you were born to US”
