Neassa Benitez is a Aisling actress. She is considered one of Temuair's premier scream queens and is best known for her role as Ailís in the Revelations Series, a four part movie series. The final mvoie of the series, Reconciliations, will be released in June of 2019.

Early life

Neassa Benitez was born on January 16, 1995 in Coalla, located ni southern Temuair outside of Dinsmar. Her parents were killed in a car accident when she was 7. She had no surviving relatives and was declared a ward of the state. She was placed in the state run Alcala Girls School from age 8 until she was adopted at age 16 by Ángel and Amalia Benitez. During her time at the Alcala Girls School, Neassa was described as an extremely introverted and shy child, who did not often interact with the other children. In a 2010 interview with StarLine, Neassa reflects that her solitary upbringing might be the reason why she was attracted to work as a horror movie actress. "I was very much in myself as a child, but I had a very vivid imagination. The Alcala School was very old, and frankly very creepy. I can remember wandering the halls and basements alone at night, and being very creeped out...but also enjoying it. I think I'm drawn to being scared...and I think thats why I'm so good at being creepy."

After she was adopted by the Benitez family, her name was legally changed from Caldera to Benitez.

Career

Benitez received her first acting role at 17, portraying high school senor Nina Beran alongside Irena Torres in the 2012 production Study Hell.

She is best known for her role as malevolent spirit Ailís in the horror movie series Reconciliations, the story for which I plan to write later.

Personal life

Neassa currently resides outside of Abel, in northern Temuair.
