Sobriquet
Mistress...
Appearance
Always well dressed she appears to match the theme of the night at her club. She is strikingly beautiful with pale skin.
'
Behavior
She is the ruler of her Domain and knows it. She seems to have near absolute control over her club, both staff and patrons. No one there would even think about harming her cause of the atmosphere of passion. Speaking with her can be daunting as she is a pinnacle of power and beauty.
History
Lorraine is a fixture of San Francisco and has been here longer than anyone knows.
The vampire now known as Lorraine was born Kaylay Neske outside what is now known as Westin Missouri in 1844. The daughter of a farmer, Lorraine started out rough and unlearned. At the tender age of fourteen, she went to town with her Dad Robert Neske, and met a handsome young man name Tom Billingsly. Tom was enthused by the young woman, and inquired with her father about courting her. Her father wasn't really happy with the young man, but said okay.
Over the next few months Tom and Kaylay got closer, and Tom took Kaylay as a bride in 1860. The two moved west to the Kansas Territory to the new town of Abilene, Kansas. Bandits, indians, and ranchers made life difficult. Tom found he preferred going to town and playing cards over working his ranch. Kaylay had two miscarriages, and Tom stopped coming home.
Eventually Kaylay got hungry, packed her best dress, and walked into Abilene. Tanned, strong, and pretty, it didn't take her long to begin the worlds oldest profession. It wasn't fun, she didn't really like the men who sweated over her, but her belly was full and she had money for new clothes. She rented a horse a couple of times that first year and rode out to her home, but Tom never came back that she could tell.
As she started her second year at the local house of ill repute, she met a Frenchman name Laroux who was often cold to the touch, but paid very well for her time and did things to her she didn't know anyone was capable of doing. Laroux became her favorite customer.
She claims and acts as she has no desire for more power than she has but she is on par with most of the cities current 'elders' .
Recent Events
True to her course, she helped the young coterie not get to much over their head but did not take advantage of several opportunities to advance her power. Choosing to stay mostly neutral.
Abilities Demonstrated
She has high levels of all the Toreador disciplines as well as a high skill of performance, leadership and melee.
