Secrets: Liza bears a crescent shaped birthmark on her left shoulder blade; as a mortal in London, she became the sex slave and thaumaturgic test subject for the Tremere Regent, Edward Bainbridge. One night, she escaped with the aid of a Gargoyle and fled halfway across Europe, until she stopped in Sofia. It was the manifestation of her gift that led her to embraced first her brother and later, her other childer.

Liza now knows that something Bainbridge did to her, granted her the 'sight' and she feels certain that he was also responsible for her embrace in some way. Since her arrival in Sofia, her 'gift' seems even more potent than before, as if something is magnifying her abilities. And she has started to realize that her epilepsy and amnesia are psychosomatic reactions to having a greater 'Aeon' channel itself through her unwilling body. Lately, she has been studying up on channeling and possession in an attempt to understand what is happening to her. She has gone so far as to invite a small group of reputable mortal 'psychics' to Poduyane to help her deal with her periods of possession.

Plots: Liza has no plots to speak of, though she regularly struggles to save her brother from himself and those he has offended. She is very concerned about his 'conversion', but, she hasn't been able to convince him that he has joined a cult. The irony of it all is that, she seems to be able to help those for whom she feels little or nothing, but is helpless to aid her loved ones in their times of need.

Destiny: If Liza survives the coming storm, she will transform her gift into a vampiric discipline and become mother to a new bloodline of vampire oracles. "All hail, the Pythia rises once more to speak prophesy, to save a dying world with wisdom from heaven."
