Karlin

Personal Information

Appearance

quite short in stature she is fine boned and carries little excess weight her hair is cropped just bellow her ears and is a brownish blonde in color. she wears a long skirt and a scarf covers her hair. Her eyes are are green but have been known to change in response to her mood She carries a small dagger at her waist, and also a thick book bound in black leather which if you glance inside contains a strange version of shorthand that would take a significant amount of time to decode (or atleast she hopes it would). she has a pencil which she carries usually behind her ear and unless it is activly pointed out she will not surender it as a weapon. after all only an idiot would think a pencil could surfice for a stake, far to fragile.

Smiles are not uncommon but usually she shows little expression though she keeps her head high unless in the company of one clearly above her such as the prince,the keeper of elysium or possibly the sheriff.

Personality

Quick witted and curious she exibits many of the traits of a good mekhet and a better spy but she is also very loyal to those worthy of her trust, and especially to those she considers family. She is quiet prefering to listern rather then speak but this should not be mistaken for shyness she will quite happily stand up if she thinks she has something to add to the situation or conversation. She is pasionate and meticulose not the type to give up on something once she gets started,and though she is not the kind to pick a fight, prefering to sit back and watch the outcome and tactics of the combatants she is not above leaving a dagger in someones ribs if the need arrises, preferably from the shaddows, though if it gets to that stage there is probably little chance of her surviving, she prefers the games of pollitics.

She has only recently come to the realisation that even this thing they call the requiem is precarious and fragile, and that perhapse she is playing the fool trusting the a grasp on politics alone will protect her. It is time to find allies,ones with swords and armor, it is time to learn to fight, to learn to be more then just a pestering knat but instead a hawk silient and deadly and protected.

Mortal World

Her past identity is less her now then a mouse is a lion, anyone looking for her today would not almost certainly fail to connect her to the young woman who went missing walking home from the library one winter night. Still she tries her best to avoid the areas of her birth and any people who might recognise her from that distant past before the nights of blood began.

Her current identity is in tatters, with little more then the most basic ID to her name she holds to a possition, one arranged for her by Grendel Volmark when she was still a ghoul, working as a doctor in one of the private hospitals. She is working on gaining a fuller identity, attaining the papers that her former regent still holds, as she will soon have to change professions people are starting to question why she does not appear to be ageing and why on occasion the blood bank runs low.
