Sobriquet: Tatiana
Appearance: Tatiana is a beautiful woman in her thirties, with brown long hair and black eyes. She has a very thin waist, and always wears clothing that enhance this particular curve of her silhouette. Her clothing can vary, but normally, she has long black dresses, and everything else that would make her appear as a recent widow. This, allied with the fact she is a Malkavian, is enough to give the creeps to most Ancillae.
Behavior: She is like a mother to all who talk to her. She cares for their pain and needs, and readily tells them that they can count on her if they want to talk about it. She appears as a saddened widow who lost her sire to the Inquisition. this can lead Kindred to think her Malkavian derangement to be melancholy.
When doing her little experiments, she has a crazy look in her eyes, feeling pleasure from the pain she gives, and fromt the tears and cries of her victim. Still, she keeps her motherly behaviour, explaining her victim she had been bad all along, and that he needs to learn it the hard way...
History: Tatiana was in truth called Madeline, and lived an happy life in the court of Louis XIV. In the court, love affairs, treason's and every other petty motives for intrigues were the very air she breathed. The problem is that sometimes, ugly things had to be done to further one's own ends. And that Madeline soon found she liked it...
Her name in the court was soon associated with dark affairs of abortion and satanic gospels. It was even darker, as she had become the Ghoul of a Malkavian Kindred.
Guilherme, her master, had some real problems with women, as he couldn't hide his shyness, and needed someone to cure him from this little quirk. Madeline would help him, he knew. So he let her more or less free to act as wanted. The problem is that Guilherme couldn't be cured. At the time, Beatrix was Prince, and Guilherme was too shy to ask her the right to Embrace his Ghoul.
Madeline started to wonder why her Sire was waiting to make her join him in immortality. She didn't get to question it long, as Witch-Hunters entered her Sire's palace. Guilherme, afraid for his Ghoul, Embraced her, and then hid her changing body in the earth of the underground chambers of his palace. When he tried to flee, he was betrayed by one of his own retainers, and the Witch-Hunters staked him. To be sure no one escaped, every mortal in the palace was questioned. In he end, the castle burned, with the pyres still smoking with the charred wood and bodies who had once, worked in the palace.
Madeline awakened some hours after her Embrace, but she took many days to free herself from the earth. But when she got out, it was to see all the evil made by the so-called servants of God. While not a saint herself, she knew she had quite twisted pleasures. But she had never called herself normal. She had just discovered madness was common among humanity, but hid itself behind false justice.
Madeline came back to the Louvre. Beatrix was sad for the poor Guilherme. The shy scholar always found sympathy in the eyes of the Toreador Prince. While the Embrace of Madeline was illegal, Beatrix accepted it as the legacy of the murdered Kindred. She asked Madeline to not seek revenge against the Inquisition, as it would threaten the Masquerade. Madeline accepted, telling that she would change her name to Tatiana, in honor of the little princess Guilherme had been fond of, and who had been killed by the Witch-Hunters.
Tatiana didn't want revenge. After all, she had committed sins whose cruelty could rival quality (if not in numbers) with the Inquisition's. But she lost any remaining illusion about the innate goodness of humanity.
Recent Events: Tatiana has decided to make a coterie of the mad. So far she has kept it a secret, and the Malkavians don't claim a clan, so they are all called "Caitiff". If anyone finds out she has been embracing childer without permission, it would be all over of Tatiana.
