Justine McDavid
Sobriquet: Half-life
Appearance
Once upon a time there was a pretty twenty-something of Asian-American descent, a woman called Justine by her family and friends. Justine had midnight dark eyes, an olive complexion, auburn hair and strikingly long legs. With a pair of glasses and a respectable pantsuit or a conservative dress, this Oriental marsh fey could pass for human and did so for twenty-six years. But Justine was living two totally separate lives, destiny held that she could only belong to one world or the other. And so, like Alice down the rabbit-hole or Neo in the Matrix - she was forced out of her conservative shell of mortality and now she has been reborn a seductive creature of the night.
So much for the blue pill.
The Embrace has wrought changes, gone is her olive complexion and beach tan, for undeath has bleached her pale like elegant ivory. Justine's dark eyes now hold motes of amber and her auburn tresses have turned dark with hints of copper. She will never develop wrinkles, nor will her flesh sag and the Curse of Caine has added a predatory allure to her already fragile beauty. Like Clark Kent she still tries to pass herself off as the drab office worker of her past self and unsuccessfully hides behind a pair of glasses she doesn't need and wears concealing clothing that only tempts the imagination of those who see her and desire what they see.
Justine stands 5'3" and weights 108 pounds.
Behavior
Poor Justine does not yet realize that she cannot return to her old half-life, that she is now fully committed to the dark world she so enjoyed tasting a few hours at a time; her immortal beauty is destined for the hot lights of the stage where her preternatural gifts will ignite a thousand fantasies as her voice washes over the mortal crowd.
She has not really come to grips that she does not have a day job anymore or what that really means.
History
Justine was born to an Asian mother and a gweilo father. Justine was the second child of the marriage, with an older half-sister named Kaitlyn. Early on Justine found only telling part of the story kept her out of trouble. Her very conservative father was harsh and disapproved of her dreams of music. In high school she became used to going to school in conservative clothes and changing into much showier clothes. After she left home for college, she enrolled for a double major, accounting and music theory. Brilliant, she did well in both, while not letting her father know she was still studying music while he paid for her accounting degree.
Justine graduated with honors, and while her father wasn't happy about the music degree, he was ecstatic about having an accountant daughter. She was working at Windsley, Holcom and Rood by day and working the club scene at night. Justine kept both world separate, getting into molly, xstacy, and pot. Justine had several dealers she knew well.
Then she was embraced and fell into the looking glass. Now she wishes she could go back to the daylight.
