Personal Information

Appearance

A remarkably attractive young woman, tall and statuesque with angular features and silvery-blonde hair. She dresses like a television paralegal, all pencil skirts, silk blouses and spike heels.

Personality

Gretchen's got all the Cosmopolitan magazines that tell her she should be an aggressive go-getter and a standout individual. So she distinguishes herself from the pack, because Cosmo tells her so.
This leads many to initially mistake her for a Ventrue, while her manicured good looks cause others to mistake her for a Toreador. However, the slightly neurotic, hyper-competitive edge reveals her Malkavian nature to the savvy quickly enough.

Mortal World

Brisbane at large doesn't know the name Gretchen Di Val, though they see a lot of her work. She's just another faceless, nameless Mayoral aide, working behind the scenes to prop up a man fronting an administration that, frankly, has more holes in it than a gangster, post Thompson-drilling. But she's the Mayor's favourite, and her name is becoming known in the halls of power as being a girl who gets things done.
The internet knows Lily White as the lingerie and fetish model with the seventeenth most popular cam-site on Google.
Her family doesn't know that both women are one in the same, but they do know her as a cock-up prone to making terrible decisions in both her professional and personal life.
A string of ex-boyfriends and a couple of disappointed college lesbians know her as a woman who draws spirograph patterns on the Crazy/Hot Scale.

Information Known by Kindred Society

Gretchen Di Val came to the attention of Kindred society in 2012, when surveillance on the Mayor of Brisbane turned up that he was cheating on his wife of fifteen years ("How clichéd," yawned the Toreador) with a certain attractive aide, young enough to be his daughter. Deducing that gaining control of the girl could afford them access to her boss, the Ventrue moved to make her a ghoul, only to find their maneuver blocked by the Malkavian Dr. Karl Montgomery, who revealed that Di Val was his niece and that if the Court wanted the use of her, then she was damn well going to be a full citizen rather than simply a tool to be discarded if the scheme palled.
Dr. Karl lobbied for the right to Embrace her, and was granted permission by Prince Iadro Orsini.
Since then, Gretchen Di Val has been under his private tutelage as his unreleased childe, and has yet to make her debut at Court.

Dr. Karl - so "Uncle Henry" was really Great-Great-Uncle Montgomery who is also Dr. Karl who is really...you know what, I give up. He's still the Uncle who bounced me on his knee, and who used to come over to the house with ice-cream and toys, and that's enough. I don't really want to think about it any harder.
