History: During the 1920s, Alfreda Everill was the deva daughter of a wealthy mogul of meatpacking fame. Every young man in Detroit and not a few older men sought her hand in marriage, but it wasn't wealth alone that drew eligible bachelors to Freda as she preferred to be called. The young heiress was also beautiful in a pallid kind of way, a nocturnal flower that would wilt in the sun and whose social schedule began well after dark and rarely ended with the rising of the sun. No, Freda was thrice blessed by the Muses with a powerful artistic vision that often took control of the young woman and kept her pent-up in her rooms for days at a time. From childhood this vision produced watercolors, as Freda grew older it became pencil sketches and charcoal drawings, and from her sixteenth birthday onward it was oil paintings. Unfortunately, by the 1930s, Freda's destructive lifestyle and her artistic vision drove her father to place her in the care of the physicians of Eloise (mental) Hospital.
And there she languished, until the long hot summer of 1949, when she was placed in the care of a Hungarian specialist named Aurél Német. Herr doktor Német was an alias for a Nazi German racial-biologist and Tremere Antitribu neonate named Korbinian Hofmeister. Doktor Hofmeister had been Embraced by a powerful member of the Nazi regime in the closing nights of the Second World War. The good doktor had barely escaped the Allied net around Berlin and was smuggled by Nazi sympathizers across the Atlantic to the U.S. Gifted with a new identity and granted one of the United States' largest sanitariums as his haven, Aurél Német continued the work he had been doing for the S.S., an investigation into the genetic origin of psychic powers. After only a year of research, Doktor Német had found only nine likely female subjects to pair with his prized male specimen that he had brought with him from Germany.
Doktor Hofmeister's little breeding project for psychics was dubbed Project Alice in reference to Lewis Carroll's disarmingly psychedelic novel: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. All of the psychic young women were likewise dubbed Alice number one thru nine. Alfreda Everill became the ninth Alice and the only one to bear a pathetically normal child, Rebeccah Everill, who was born in April of 1951 at the Wayne County General Hospital and Infirmary at Eloise, Michigan.
The children of Alice number one thru eight bore relatively strong psychic abilities
