Personal Information
Jacqueline is an occult scholar who focuses mostly on Kindred lore, but has a deep knowledge of history and an interest in other areas of the occult. She also has a reputation for being a violent, aggressive and unnerving creature who, while well spoken, tends to display disturbing tendencies during Elysium. She is most often approached by other Kindred for her language skills (translation, etc) and her knowledge of history and the occult.
Appearance
Jacqueline does not have the classic Gangrel appearance that most Kindred seem to expect. She dresses in fine clothing, usually base colours and in a style that some might call gothic. Though there is certainly an old-fashioned twist to her style. Dresses, skirts, corsets, stockings and tailcoats make up her usual attire, though there are a few things that are always noticeable about the way she dresses. Despite her neat appearance, there always seems to be something slightly out of place; it might be the ripped stockings or something else that just doesn't seem right. Most notable, it is her constant lack of shoes.
While not a particularly large woman in any sense of the word, she moves with a confident, almost primal air that puts lie to her verbosity. Her hair is a mix of black and white and her fangs appear to be constantly exposed. She does nothing to hide the pale gauntness to her face, though does tend to wear makeup.
Personality
There are two main facets of Jacqueline's personality.
The Terror
Her love of the unnerving, the horrifying and the intimidating is what people first notice about Jacqueline. A very hands-on creature, she tends to try and unnerve or scare others around her with her aggressive or overtly sexual actions, her attire, or any other manner she deems appropriate. She will act aggressive or openly seductive (often both) if she thinks it will unnerve her conversation partner, and is not beyond petting or tugging at clothing and so on. She gets along best with other people who adore violence and the uncouth. To her, people are prey or predators. She rarely smiles, and it is somewhat unnerving when she does, for more than just the fact that it reveals her fangs. She also bears a sharp, violent temper. Generally, she can keep herself under control but a few choice words on a delicate subject can have her spitting and growling more quickly than a cornered animal. She can calm herself rather quickly if need-be, but if she doesn't need to...
The Scholar
More than her love of violence and wayward morals, is her thirst for occult knowledge and her love of history. While she gets along with those who thrive on violence, she also finds herself making allies with those who seek knowledge. Someone with information on occult artifacts or tomes will find themselves in her good books quite quickly. Her love of violence is exceeded only by her urge to inform.
Mortal World
She tries to spend as little time involved in the mortal world as possible, but is finding it increasingly harder. Her bookstore, in the CBD, is open to the public and this is where she finds her main interaction with mortals. She also has ties with historians and scholars in the mortal world.

Known Associations
Allies
Because if your childe isn't directly under your thumb, you've done something incredibly stupid.
Enemies
- Theodore Donowitz – Brujah Ancillae
Anyone who has been in the city for some time will have seen the interaction between the Brujah affectionately known as "The Stick" and Jacqueline. Teddy has appointed himself the official peace-keeper of Elysium and maintains this with a literally violent fervor. He despises Jacqueline's teasing and torment of the other Kindred and has taken steps to physically ensure this is halted the moment it happens. Needless to say, Jacqueline does not like her fun interrupted and the two have been seen to show very clear aggression towards one another in the court.
- Faith Halliwell - Toreador Neonate
Because little kittens shouldn't stray too far from their mothers.
Other
- Mr. Stone - Ventrue Ancillae
Their association is mostly unknown, however, she seems to respond reasonably (as reasonably as Jacqueline is capable of, at any rate) to the man.
