"We entered this world as hunters and were told that when we could no longer survive as hunters, we would disappear, like smoke."
Personal Information
Appearance
Dark haired, slender - she is small but not excessively so and her stature does not evoke diffidence or frailty. Instead her limbs are defined by lithe muscle and tensed as if ready to lash out. Her mouth is often pursed as if holding back a sneer (or perhaps the desire to sink her fangs into your neck) and at its corners one might catch the trace of a dark ichor. She wears the pelt of an animal, freshly skinned, across her back, its blood smeared across her narrow shoulders. In addition to this she often wears traditional Alaskan clothing – unable to completely abandon her heritage. She mimics particularities of Nosferatu brethren – a necklace fashioned out of bones picked clean, the pungent aroma of death and decay wafting around her at all times.
Personality
She is bestial, perpetually ravenous and on the brink of madness - often growling and baring her teeth like a rabid animal.

1942
- July – Mysterious sickness returns.
- August – While out hunting ptarmigan, Kohana happens upon a foreign woman stalking around the outskirts of Aniak. She is instantly enamoured with her. The foreign woman speaks with her - marvelling at her fine hunting and tracking skill, asking her strange questions about her village - but tells her very little in return. Kohana tells no one of the encounter.
- September – Sickness continues - claims two lives. Kohana continues to meet the woman in secret. Their relationship blossoms beyond friendship.
- Kohana becomes estranged from her family - sleeping at odd hours and inexplicably doing things that she would not normally do. The foreigner convinces her to keep their tryst a secret.
- December – The foreigner starts feeding Kohana her blood, claiming it is part of an age old tradition of her heritage.
- Kohana struggles with her growing appetite for vitae.
1943
- 11 January – Embraced by the foreigner.
- January – Kohana violently rejects this new form, knowing she has been used, and links this new unlife to the death of her father at a similar beast. She frenzies and attacks her sire - assuming to have mortally wounded her.
- February – Leaves Aniak.
1943 - 1950
- March – Hungry and mad without the guidance of a sire, she relies on the most primal of instincts - hunting and killing humans for food whom are lost in the Alaskan wilderness. Time, for the most part, passes as a blur.
1948
- July – She eventually travels north to Canada where she meets a Dahlia, the bored eldest daughter of an Australian immigrant, and embraces her in the heat of carnal passion.
- Although a mistake, Kohana accepts responsibility of her new childe, not wanting to abandon her like she had been. However Dahlia is unreceptive to her new unlife and speaks frequently of her forfeit mortality. Kohana remains dissatisfied, restless and hungry.
- October Stakes Dahlia and heads south without her.
1951
- Comes across Mr Hobbes who had been lairing in the woods near a logging camp. They have an epic battle, each trading advantage. Before one or another can finish, the loggers come across the pair and while Kohana and Mr Hobbes dispatch of them, they realise a kindred spirit amongst them.
1951-1975
- Stays with Mr Hobbes for some time, moving around America. He attempts to impart his knowledge of the Ordo Dracul, seeing in her a beast that once almost consumed him. She is, for the most part, uninterested.
1975
- July – Mr Hobbes speaks of his intention to leave for Australia. Kohana - reluctant to leave her home land - refuses to come with him. They have a terrible fight one night and this time he finally manages to defeat her - it is not this that finally makes him leave, rather this which makes her not leave with him. They part ways.
1975-1986
- Kohana stays in America until this time; her beast reigning unchecked. She also has a brief encounter with Cazador (whom she will later discover to be Mr Hobbes's Grandchilde).
- She does not assimilate into society and when she must interact with humans she poses as a reclusive hunter. However with time she becomes sloppy with the serial murders she leaves in her wake. Her crimes eventually catch up with her though and she flees to Australia in search of Mr Hobbes in hopes that he would teach her that which she denied so many decades ago.
1986
- March – Arrives in Australia. She reunites with Mr Hobbes and joins his coterie amongst the other Nosferateu.
- August – Discovers she has a grandchilde (Jericho). She outright shuns him initially but at the insistence of The Clan gradually comes to accept him as her burden.
2001
- Joins the Ordo Dracul as a slave.
2002
- Becomes Gangrel Priscus.
2013
- October – After more than a decade of disinterested engagement with the Ordo Dracul, she leaves abruptly, and publicly announces her devotion to the Circle of the Crone.
