| − | + | Across the centuries, Berengaria has been many things- a shock of wild blonde hair and fiery eyes, a desperate childe looking for her sire, a servant of the Old Gods, a teller of stories, a free-spirited explorer, the Mother of House Valdyr, an upstanding member of Court and a representative for her Clan. To those who know her well she is fierce and soft at once, loving but exasperated, caring towards her family and a hard worker. To those who know of her, she is the face of House Valdyr in Brisbane and a long-time member of the Brisbane Court, strong and proud but quiet and observant. It is hard to tell if she knows what's going on completely or if she is very good at faking it, but it seems as though she currently has a hold on things within the complicated machinations of Brisbane's Court. | |

There is a sense of animal energy about her, a sense that she is holding down the Beast in a constant wrestling with herself that may distract her from things from time to time. All together though, people see her as the fierce mother wolf of her family and a faithful follower of the Norse Gods. | ||

| + | Berengaria was born in 1800 to Eino and Säde Lange, the eldest daughter and second eldest of eight children, in the Grand Principality of Finland on a beautiful farm in the woods of Ostrobothnia, near the Gulf of Bothnia and the city of Kristiinankaupunki (Kristinestad).

She gradually became more heavily involved and was to become known for her fearless nature and bravado, to the point that when she was involved in a protest that got violent it took three policemen to hold her down and handcuff her, an act which gained the attention of Vilrec Langlifr- the man who would change her life forever.<br><br> | |

Information Known by Kindred Society
Across the centuries, Berengaria has been many things- a shock of wild blonde hair and fiery eyes, a desperate childe looking for her sire, a servant of the Old Gods, a teller of stories, a free-spirited explorer, the Mother of House Valdyr, an upstanding member of Court and a representative for her Clan. To those who know her well she is fierce and soft at once, loving but exasperated, caring towards her family and a hard worker. To those who know of her, she is the face of House Valdyr in Brisbane and a long-time member of the Brisbane Court, strong and proud but quiet and observant. It is hard to tell if she knows what's going on completely or if she is very good at faking it, but it seems as though she currently has a hold on things within the complicated machinations of Brisbane's Court.
Berengaria is a pretty Scandinavian woman with long untamed blonde hair and intense eyes- one blue and the other yellow with a broken pupil that makes it look like a cat's eye. Over the left side of her face, the side with the yellow eye, is a brutal scar that tells of a violent battle sometime in the past.
Her style of dress seems to be comprised of black (usually leather) pants and black band shirts with bare or booted feet and a leather jacket. There is a sense of animal energy about her, a sense that she is holding down the Beast in a constant wrestling with herself that may distract her from things from time to time. All together though, people see her as the fierce mother wolf of her family and a faithful follower of the Norse Gods.
OOC History
Berengaria was born in 1800 to Eino and Säde Lange, the eldest daughter and second eldest of eight children, in the Grand Principality of Finland on a beautiful farm in the woods of Ostrobothnia, near the Gulf of Bothnia and the city of Kristiinankaupunki (Kristinestad). Growing up on the farm, Berengaria grew up to be strong, independant and hard-working, full of stories of the Old Gods and ancestor-gods known as the Valdyr. The strong faith she has to these nights grew from those childhood tales.
The relatively high level of autonomy in Finland was impressive for it's time, mostly from the 1700's when Finland was part of the Kingdom of Sweden and enjoyed a high level of suffrage in the Age of Liberty. As Berengaria grew up, she began to become involved in the suffrage movement to grant full suffrage back to the women of Finland.

She has been a huge player in the Valdyr vs. Volmark dispute, and was a large part of the writing up of the Pax of Fang and Fear. Few know all the stories that make up her involvement with the Volmark but it is certainly an interesting story and those who earn her trust may one day get to her the stories of her fight against the Leviathans.
