“We accept the love we think we deserve.”

― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Introduction

The product of an ill-considered Embrace and one very charming Ventrue, Beatrice is a passionate follower of Silke, and has quietly drifted onto the Camarilla's radar over the last couple of years. Despite a lot of her time being spent shouting down Camarilla alongside her the Baron, she's still willing to sit down and talk problems over with members of the Camarilla - and even concede points to them.

Apparent Age: 21
Concept: Urban Chameleon

Notable Traits

• Blush of Health

Appearance

She favors simple, comfortable attire to match her easy-going appearance and nature. She's rarely without a bandana or beanie to keep her dreads out of her eyes, and usually opts for cheap t-shirts, flannels, and jeans. Meanwhile, the bangles and beads that constantly rattle on her wrists and dreads add a bohemian flair to her outfits.

Personality

Easy-going, relaxed, and unconcerned. Beatrice tends to let her own opinions take a backseat to those of the people around her around her; she's much happier to listen to theirs, agree with their merits, and then allow them to take the decision out of her hands. To be fair, she doesn't seem to have any strong opinions that aren't originally from someone else.

Mortal World

There's not much known about Beatrice - she was apparently a student at one point, but since then she's stepped away. These days, she keeps her relations with the mortal world as simple and unattached as possible, drifting along and slipping from stranger to stranger without an real focus in mind.

Information Known by Kindred Society

Not much. If her Sire's from the Anarch's ranks, they're probably dead. And if her Sire's from the Camarilla, then it seems nobody's figured out who it is. Yet.

The depth of her relationship with Silke is another puzzle nobody's willing to look into, either, beyond sharing some of the Harpies' gossip.

History

Beatrice has only started attracting notice in the last few years; previously, she's done a remarkable job of keeping off the radar. She's mentioned, however, studying politics at one point, and there's the occasional report of her curving up the waves out at Stradbroke or Moreton Islands.

Quotes

Quotes By

"The Anarchs don't want that much, beyond shelter, food, safety, and a place to belong; the problem is, the Camarilla isn't willing to let them have it. I imagine that's why they cut loose in the first place."

Rumours

• May possibly be the least politically motivated of the Anarchs.
  • Makes sense: she looks and acts like a follower, and certainly doesn't seem to make decisions on her own.
• Somehow, Silke's wrapped her around her finger until she's more tightly coiled than a spring.
  • Poor thing.
    • More like a lucky thing: there's a lot of Camarilla who'd like to change positions with her.
• A lot of gossip says she's the ill-considered decision made by one of Brisbane's roses, who let their feelings get the better of them.
  • The top candidates are none other than a certain Prince, followed closely by his Sire...

'Clark, things always get messy when you start throwing around the Clark-Lana triangle, and I'm speaking from experience when I say the third point always hurts.'

• Anna, from Frozen

Literature

• The Perks of Being a Wallflower

'So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.'

• Phoebe Caulfield, from The Catcher in the Rye
• Lorraine, from The Chronicles of Amber
• Alice, from Gangrel: Savage and Macabre

Music

Chill out, it's all right. Kiss me. It's nice to be alive.

• Castle on a Cloud, from Les Misérables.

There is a lady all in white, holds me and sings a lullaby. She's nice to see and she's soft to touch. She says 'Cosette, I love you very much.'

• Traitor, by Inland Sea

Never was a traitor, never laughed, never thought I'd won...

• Crown of Love, by The Arcade Fire

The pains of love, and they keep growing / In my heart there's flowers growin' / on the grave of our old love / Since you gave me a straight answer
