Sobriquet:

Appearance: Dhita is a strikingly attractive woman whose father's genes lighten her skin tone and prevent her from looking too foreign to British and European eyes. Somehow, the hint of Western features in this Indian woman serves to reassure them of her relative trustworthiness and elevate her above other "natives" in their eyes. Her time in London has taught her that wearing traditional Indian dress is a useful affectation at Elysium, but much of the time she is better off wearing the clothes of a British lady. London is far too cold to warrant saris, even for a Kindred.

Background: Dhita's father, a British soldier, no doubt boasted of his conquest of a dusky Indian maiden when he was back in England. Dhita's mother, a serving girl named Shaila, had a different way of describing it: rape. Shaila's family cast her out when her pregnancy became obvious. She managed to scrape together a living for herself among the street people of Delhi. A matter of weeks before Dhita's birth, a poor family of the low Sudras caste took pity on her and allowed her to live with them.

Dhita was born and raised as one of the family. The girl had a sharp wit, exotic looks, and a contempt for the British instilled in her by her mother. Eventually, she secured work serving in the home of a local merchant who seemed amused by the ambition and intelligence of this girl trying to live outside the boundaries of her caste.

It was only a matter of weeks before Dhita spotted something unusual about her employer: he only ever seemed to appear by night. Several months passed before her curiosity overcame her fear, and she asked Debtosh what he did during the days. He laughed at the girl's presumption and then offered her a choice: go back to the streets or give up her old life to become his full-time servant. With some misgivings, she chose the latter option and drank the proffered liquid.

Dhita served Debtosh well as a ghoul, using her looks and wiles to manipulate his mortal business contacts. Less than a year later, though, she was mortally wounded when a strange creature attacked Debtosh as the pair returned to his house a few hours before dawn. Dhita threw herself at the creature, slowing it down long enough for Debtosh to gather his wits. After a long struggle, Debtosh destroyed his attacker. He then Embraced the dying girl, a rash decision made in the heat of the moment. He was of the Vaisyas jati and should not have Embraced a girl from such a lowly background.

Still, together the pair concocted a story that she was the daughter of one of his business partners, given over to his keeping after her father was lost at sea. The conflict between the Ravnos and the asuratizayya—the strange vampires of the Orient—was particularly intense at the time, so few questioned the story, preferring to simply welcome a new soldier to the struggle.

Over the next twenty years, Dhita and her sire grew in prominence among Delhi's vampires. She was an asset in both his business dealings and in his role in fighting the asuratizayya. Ironically, this was because of her contacts among India's lowest caste, the secret she had to hide from other vampires. One of Debtosh's enemies suspected the truth, though, and managed to track down Shaila, exposing the improper nature of Dhita's Embrace.

Dhita's sire was shamed but forgiven. Dhita herself was immediately demoted to the Chandalas jati, the lowest of the low among Indian Ravnos. With nothing to lose and every reason to fear the miserable existence that she would endure as Chandalas, Dhita stowed away on a merchant ship bound for London.

Weeks later, the ship finished its journey to the East India Dock with a depleted and frightened crew. Dhita made her way off the boat in the early hours of the morning. Within minutes, she found herself held fast by tentacles of shadow. Stephen Lenoir had recognized the signs of a Kindred stowaway and had come to "greet" the new arrival.

In the years since, Dhita has been able to turn her heritage into a bargaining chip in London. Many Kindred are eager to know more about the subcontinent but are somewhat reluctant to travel there themselves. While Indian ghouls have provided some of the information they require, Dhita has proved an invaluable source of information. India remains of interest to London's Kindred, and thus, Dhita's position in the city remains secure.

Personality: Your history and background are your power, so you play up your Indian heritage. You're aware that you pander to English stereotypes of a "mysterious Indian woman," but that's better than the life you would have had back in India. Give away nothing about India, your past, or your abilities unless you are sure that you will prosper as a result. You will not suffer for your shame, the way your mother did. You have a unique niche among London's Kindred, so exploit it wisely.
