Kutchka

Sofia-Grad

Kutchka Childe of Emil na Pes, embraced sometime in the first half of the 1990's.

Kutchka held the post of Keeper of Elysium, which for her consisted of arranging the dog fights where Prince Emil made most of his public appearances. She failed spectacularly when it came to running a true Elysium.

Kutchka (literally "bitch," took the snide name given her by her mortal peers, and embraced it in undeath, refusing to answer to any other name. She was the spoiled daughter of the first of the wealthy families that looted post-communism Bulgaria. She spent Daddy's money liberally “improving” her appearance beyond what her tortured body could handle. Her feral transformation at bloody dogfights caught the attention of the Prince, who took advantage of her society and underworld contacts. The embrace has lengthened her lower jaw, giving it a canine appearance, and did a better job of emaciating her tortured frame than any diet or liposuction. She was usually found at the dogfights in a mini-dress and six inch spiked heels, using obfuscate to enhance her already out of proportion features and hiding the flaps of loose skin running down her arms and legs. She was impossible to miss, leaning far over the rail with, if anything, a more feral look than the dogs in the ring.

Personality: Kutchka flew in the face of unlife's iniquities, fangs bared for the next blood sport. By the time the characters arrived in Sofia, she had so steadfastly refused to respond to anything but "Kutchka," introducing herself as "Princess Bitch," that it is the only name by which she was known. She faced adversity by attacking, but not often well.

Notes: Prince Emil once held his gatherings in underground dog fights. He probably did this to annoy members of the more effete clans, and ensure himself a modicum of privacy. He put his youngest childe in charge of organizing them, which she did with a relish. Kutchka could always be found spectacularly bent low over the rail above the arena, cheering on the canine gladiators with more excitement than anyone else.

It is rumored that she was the daughter of one of the families that became wealthy in the first days after the fall of the Iron Curtain. She resided within her sire's domain of Sredets.

Her Death: Kutchka was assassinated as part of a plot by Zlatko Paisi that went spectacularly wrong, ending in his death, and perhaps in retaliation, the assassination of Miklos Grubo. If anyone was sad to see her die, it wasn't her sire, who used the excuse to ban the Tremere from the city. This action probably lead to his own ouster as Prince.
