Roxy

New Orleans -NOLA- Camarilla -NOLA- Gangrel

Sobriquet:

Appearance: Though in her early 30s when she was Embraced, Roxy certainly does not look it. With her long straight black hair and loose, casual style of dress, she could easily pass for a woman in her early 20s. The only signs of her Gangrel heritage are her large, luminous eyes, which shine redly in the dark (in the fashion similar to the eyes of alligators).

Behavior: Though she knows a great deal of what goes on in the city she does not part with that information readily. Be very vague when answering a question. When someone tries to obtain information from her, she will try to get more in return. She is especially interested in the questioner has any information that could link Marcel to Doran's murder.

History: Though Roxy came from an upper-class family that traced its lineage all the way back to New Orleans' second great fire, she spent more of her time in bayous than in mansions. It was this love of the swamplands that gained her the attention of Jared, the leader of the New Orleans' Gangrel. For years Jared watched Roxy in the bayous, finding himself more and more attracted to the woman. Finally he decided to Embrace her.

With little interest in the world of mortals and a great interest in the world of nature, Roxy had few reservations about becoming a vampire. Her sire (who also became her lover) taught her everything he could. He also revealed to her the friendships he had formed with Uriah Travers and the Uktena tribe. Jared did his best to teach Roxy the benefits of good politics, explaining that his relationship with the Lupines ensured his favor with then Prince Doran. Still while Jared spent much of his time tending to those tumultuous relationships between Kindred and Lupines, Roxy spent her time in the bayous.

Roxy existed for many happy years with her sire until the year the prince was murdered. Her sire, accused of the deed was executed in a Blood Hunt. Roxy fled into the bayous in fear of her unlife. For several weeks Roxy stayed in the bayous, protected by Travers.

When no further threats appeared, Roxy returned to the city. Using what Jared had taught her of political intrigue as well as the additional lessons Travers fave her, Roxy became leader of New Orleans' Gangrel. Then, despite her clan's (and her own) revulsion of politics, Roxy immersed herself in the city's intrigue.

Roxy felt certain her sire had not slain the prince; the two had been allied for decades. Some Kindred claimed the assassination had sprung out of growing jealousy on Jared's part; other said Jared had sought to usurp the princedom himself. Roxy knew both stories to be outright lies.

Today very few Kindred know much about the internal politics of New Orleans as Roxy does. She uses her knowledge as a weapon, and other Kindred fear her for the secrets she knows. Though she does not blackmail for money, she uses her information to her advantage. Over the years she has managed to maneuver herself ever closer to Marcel, hoping to find the evidence she needs to link him to Doran's murder.
