'''Physical description:''' 5'10 (6' 2 if you add high heels) slightly tan, Caucasian with brunette ''(formerly blonde)'' hair and icy blue eyes. She has a Rubenesque form; a body with soft curves in just the right places. Her appearance is so vibrant that she's constantly mistaken for human.<br />
<br />
Most remember the days where Fifi! dressed in glamorous attire - adorned with pink and glitter. Those days seem to have passed. Her appearance has taken a dark and more formal tone. At a typical gathering she is seen in an elegant black dress with simple jewelry. <br />
<br />
When not in the presence of other kindred she is seen with her two purebred rottweilers, Azrael and Osiris, who do not seem intimidated or fearful of her.<br />

<br />
<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved and ally, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some questioned whether she would recover from her grief. Others wondered if she would stand on her own. Others still knew the truth about her strength, and wondered if retribution would come from her own hand, or from those watching her from the shadows.<br />

<br />
Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />
<br />
At public gathers, Fifi! is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />
<br />
==Enemies==<br />
The Sabbat, who probably have her on some "hit list"<br />

If she has any other enemies, they either haven't made themselves public, or they no longer exist.<br />

==Quotes ''by'' Fifi!==<br />
<br />
* "You realize that pejorative you just called me comes from Sabbat propaganda, right?"<br><br />
* "I think that the whole ''"childe taking on the sire's last name"'' trend is silly. That's why I have a dual last name. Exclamation point, LeStrange. The hyphen is invisible."<br><br />
* "My Sire called me the ''[[Sara Durward]] of Clan Brujah''... I don't know whether that was supposed to be a complement or insult..."<br><br />
* "DAMN YOU ZIO!!!!" (usually exclaimed after discovering others see her as a leader... and she says it even when he's nowhere in sight)<br><br />
* "You want to appoint me as Primogen? Let me consult the clan on this... (points to someone else) He's our Primogen!" ''(this plan lasted for only 2 months)''<br><br />
* "No, I do not carry my dog in my purse... The rottweiler wouldn't fit."<br><br />
* (after others notice her appearance or visions and start asking questions) "That's classified... CLASSIFIED information."<br><br />
* "Oh, don't be worried. ''(insert name of scary/powerful kindred here)'' is really a nice person once you get to know them."<br><br />
* "I've only been good at figuring out what's right and wrong ''for myself''. The few times that I've ''judged'' others were those where I was hurt by whatever happened" - Fiona on morality<br />
* "Everyone's acting so nice to me... I think that people keep forgetting that I'm, you know... kindred."<br />
* "I look in this room and all I see are monsters. Some just wear prettier masks." - Masquerade Ball in New Orleans, September 2011<br />
* "No one defines me. I define myself. They believe what I want them to perceive."<br />
* "Caution is not weakness."<br />
* "Some say the death of my sire's killer was justice and closure. I say it was a hollow death - more blood to grease the gears of this never-stopping machine."<br />
* "I gave him one of the few things that few of our kind have come to expect - forgiveness. I will not allow his actions to harden my heart. I offered him a way to find atonement for his actions and make things right within himself before the end comes..."<br />
* "Killing in the name of vengeance solves nothing. You forever tie the killer and victim in your memory. Better that the killer fall and be remembered for his other sins and shortcomings than for what he took from you."<br />

She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved and ally, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some questioned whether she would recover from her grief. Others wondered if she would stand on her own. Others still knew the truth about her strength, and wondered if retribution would come from her own hand, or from those watching her from the shadows.<br />

<br />
Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />
<br />
At public gathers, Fifi! is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />
<br />
==Enemies==<br />
The Sabbat, who probably have her on some "hit list"<br />

If she has any other enemies, they either haven't made themselves public, or they no longer exist.<br />

* "You realize that pejorative you just called me comes from Sabbat propaganda, right?"<br><br />

* "No one defines me. I define myself. They believe what I want them to perceive."<br />

* "Some say the death of my sire's killer was justice and closure. I say it was a hollow death - more blood to grease the gears of this never-stopping machine."<br />

<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />

When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />

In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her.

<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved and ally, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some questioned whether she would recover from her grief. Others wondered if she would stand on her own. Others still knew the truth about her strength, and wondered if retribution would come from her own hand, or from those watching her from the shadows.<br />

<br />
Most remember the days where Fifi! dressed in glamorous attire - adorned with pink and glitter. Those days seem to have passed. Her appearance has taken a dark and more formal tone. At a typical gathering she is seen in an elegant black dress with simple jewelry. <br />
<br />
When not in the presence of other kindred she is seen with her two purebred rottweilers, Azrael and Osiris, who do not seem intimidated or fearful of her.<br />

<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved and ally, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some questioned whether she would recover from her grief. Others wondered if she would stand on her own. Others still knew the truth about her strength, and wondered if retribution would come from her own hand, or from those watching her from the shadows.<br />

<br />
Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />
<br />
At public gathers, Fifi! is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />
<br />
==Enemies==<br />
The Sabbat, who probably have her on some "hit list"<br />

If she has any other enemies, they either haven't made themselves public, or they no longer exist.<br />

<br />
Most remember the days where Fifi! dressed in glamorous attire - adorned with pink and glitter. Those days seem to have passed. Her appearance has taken a dark and more formal tone. At a typical gathering she is seen in an elegant black dress with simple jewelry. <br />
<br />
When not in the presence of other kindred she is seen with her two purebred rottweilers, Azrael and Osiris, who do not seem intimidated or fearful of her.<br />

<br />
<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved and ally, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some questioned whether she would recover from her grief. Others wondered if she would stand on her own. Others still knew the truth about her strength, and wondered if retribution would come from her own hand, or from those watching her from the shadows.<br />

<br />
Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />
<br />
At public gathers, Fifi! is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />
<br />
==Enemies==<br />
The Sabbat, who probably have her on some "hit list"<br />

If she has any other enemies, they either haven't made themselves public, or they no longer exist.<br />

==Quotes ''by'' Fifi!==<br />
<br />
* "You realize that pejorative you just called me comes from Sabbat propaganda, right?"<br><br />
* "I think that the whole ''"childe taking on the sire's last name"'' trend is silly. That's why I have a dual last name. Exclamation point, LeStrange. The hyphen is invisible."<br><br />
* "My Sire called me the ''[[Sara Durward]] of Clan Brujah''... I don't know whether that was supposed to be a complement or insult..."<br><br />
* "DAMN YOU ZIO!!!!" (usually exclaimed after discovering others see her as a leader... and she says it even when he's nowhere in sight)<br><br />
* "You want to appoint me as Primogen? Let me consult the clan on this... (points to someone else) He's our Primogen!" ''(this plan lasted for only 2 months)''<br><br />
* "No, I do not carry my dog in my purse... The rottweiler wouldn't fit."<br><br />
* (after others notice her appearance or visions and start asking questions) "That's classified... CLASSIFIED information."<br><br />
* "Oh, don't be worried. ''(insert name of scary/powerful kindred here)'' is really a nice person once you get to know them."<br><br />
* "I've only been good at figuring out what's right and wrong ''for myself''. The few times that I've ''judged'' others were those where I was hurt by whatever happened" - Fiona on morality<br />
* "Everyone's acting so nice to me... I think that people keep forgetting that I'm, you know... kindred."<br />
* "I look in this room and all I see are monsters. Some just wear prettier masks." - Masquerade Ball in New Orleans, September 2011<br />
* "No one defines me. I define myself. They believe what I want them to perceive."<br />
* "Caution is not weakness."<br />
* "Some say the death of my sire's killer was justice and closure. I say it was a hollow death - more blood to grease the gears of this never-stopping machine."<br />
* "I gave him one of the few things that few of our kind have come to expect - forgiveness. I will not allow his actions to harden my heart. I offered him a way to find atonement for his actions and make things right within himself before the end comes..."<br />
* "Killing in the name of vengeance solves nothing. You forever tie the killer and victim in your memory. Better that the killer fall and be remembered for his other sins and shortcomings than for what he took from you."<br />
* "I think I just got trolled..."<br />
<br />
==Quotes ''about'' Fifi!==<br />

<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved and ally, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some questioned whether she would recover from her grief. Others wondered if she would stand on her own. Others still knew the truth about her strength, and wondered if retribution would come from her own hand, or from those watching her from the shadows.<br />

<br />
Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />
<br />
At public gathers, Fifi! is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />
<br />
==Enemies==<br />
The Sabbat, who probably have her on some "hit list"<br />

<br />
* "You realize that pejorative you just called me comes from Sabbat propaganda, right?"<br><br />

* "No one defines me. I define myself. They believe what I want them to perceive."<br />

* "Some say the death of my sire's killer was justice and closure. I say it was a hollow death - more blood to grease the gears of this never-stopping machine."<br />

Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />

She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved and ally, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some questioned whether she would recover from her grief. Others wondered if she would stand on her own. Others still knew the truth about her strength, and wondered if retribution would come from her own hand, or from those watching her from the shadows.<br />

<br />
<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved and ally, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some questioned whether she would recover from her grief. Others wondered if she would stand on her own. Others still knew the truth about her strength, and wondered if retribution would come from her own hand, or from those watching her from the shadows.<br />

When not in the presence of other kindred she is seen with her two purebred rottweilers, Azrael and Osiris, who do not seem intimidated or fearful of her.<br />

<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved and ally, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some questioned whether she would recover from her grief. Others wondered if she would stand on her own. Others still knew the truth about her strength, and wondered if retribution would come from her own hand, or from those watching her from the shadows.<br />

<br />
Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />
<br />
At public gathers, Fifi! is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />
<br />
==Enemies==<br />

Most remember the days where Fifi! dressed in glamorous attire - adorned with pink and glitter. Those days seem to have passed. Her appearance has taken a dark and more formal tone. At a typical gathering she is seen in an elegant black dress with simple jewelry. <br />
<br />
When not in the presence of other kindred she is seen with her two purebred rottweilers, Azrael and Osiris, who do not seem intimidated or fearful of her.<br />

<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />

At public gathers, Fifi! is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />

<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

<br />
Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />
<br />
At public gathers, Fifi! is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />

==Quotes ''by'' Fifi!==<br />
<br />
* "You realize that pejorative you just called me comes from Sabbat propaganda, right?"<br><br />
* "I think that the whole ''"childe taking on the sire's last name"'' trend is silly. That's why I have a dual last name. Exclamation point, LeStrange. The hyphen is invisible."<br><br />
* "My Sire called me the ''[[Sara Durward]] of Clan Brujah''... I don't know whether that was supposed to be a complement or insult..."<br><br />
* "DAMN YOU ZIO!!!!" (usually exclaimed after discovering others see her as a leader... and she says it even when he's nowhere in sight)<br><br />
* "You want to appoint me as Primogen? Let me consult the clan on this... (points to someone else) He's our Primogen!" ''(this plan lasted for only 2 months)''<br><br />
* "No, I do not carry my dog in my purse... The rottweiler wouldn't fit."<br><br />
* (after others notice her appearance or visions and start asking questions) "That's classified... CLASSIFIED information."<br><br />
* "Oh, don't be worried. ''(insert name of scary/powerful kindred here)'' is really a nice person once you get to know them."<br><br />
* "I've only been good at figuring out what's right and wrong ''for myself''. The few times that I've ''judged'' others were those where I was hurt by whatever happened" - Fiona on morality<br />
* "Everyone's acting so nice to me... I think that people keep forgetting that I'm, you know... kindred."<br />
* "I look in this room and all I see are monsters. Some just wear prettier masks." - Masquerade Ball in New Orleans, September 2011<br />
* "No one defines me. I define myself. They believe what I want them to perceive."<br />
* "Caution is not weakness."<br />
* "Some say the death of my sire's killer was justice and closure. I say it was a hollow death - more blood to grease the gears of this never-stopping machine."<br />
* "I gave him one of the few things that few of our kind have come to expect - forgiveness. I will not allow his actions to harden my heart. I offered him a way to find atonement for his actions and make things right within himself before the end comes..."<br />
* "Killing in the name of vengeance solves nothing. You forever tie the killer and victim in your memory. Better that the killer fall and be remembered for his other sins and shortcomings than for what he took from you."<br />
* "I think I just got trolled..."<br />

Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

<br />
Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />
<br />
At public gathers, Fifi! is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />

<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

<br />
Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />
<br />
At public gathers, Fifi! is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />

<br />
Most remember the days where Fifi! dressed in glamorous attire - adorned with pink and glitter. Those days seem to have passed. Her appearance has taken a dark and more formal tone. At a typical gathering she is seen in an elegant black dress with simple jewelry. <br />
<br />
When not in the presence of other kindred she is seen with her two purebred rottweilers, Azrael and Osiris, who do not seem intimidated or fearful of her.<br />

<br />
<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />
<br />
At public gathers, Fifi! is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />
<br />
==Enemies==<br />
The Sabbat, who probably have her on some "hit list"<br />

==Quotes ''by'' Fifi!==<br />
<br />
* "You realize that pejorative you just called me comes from Sabbat propaganda, right?"<br><br />
* "I think that the whole ''"childe taking on the sire's last name"'' trend is silly. That's why I have a dual last name. Exclamation point, LeStrange. The hyphen is invisible."<br><br />
* "My Sire called me the ''[[Sara Durward]] of Clan Brujah''... I don't know whether that was supposed to be a complement or insult..."<br><br />
* "DAMN YOU ZIO!!!!" (usually exclaimed after discovering see her as a leader... and she says it even when he's nowhere in sight)<br><br />
* "You want to appoint me as Primogen? Let me consult the clan on this... (points to someone else) He's our Primogen!" ''(this plan lasted for only 2 months)''<br><br />
* "No, I do not carry my dog in my purse... The rottweiler wouldn't fit."<br><br />
* (after others notice her appearance or visions and start asking questions) "That's classified... CLASSIFIED information."<br><br />
* "Oh, don't be worried. ''(insert name of scary/powerful kindred here)'' is really a nice person once you get to know them."<br><br />
* "I've only been good at figuring out what's right and wrong ''for myself''. The few times that I've ''judged'' others were those where I was hurt by whatever happened" - Fiona on morality<br />
* "Everyone's acting so nice to me... I think that people keep forgetting that I'm, you know... kindred."<br />
* "I look in this room and all I see are monsters. Some just wear prettier masks." - Masquerade Ball in New Orleans, September 2011<br />
* "No one defines me. I define myself. You believe what I allow you to perceive."<br />
* "Some say the death of my sire's killer was justice and closure. I say it was a hollow death - more blood to grease the gears of this never-stopping machine."<br />
* "I gave him one of the few things that few of our kind have come to expect - forgiveness. I will not allow his actions to harden my heart. I offered him a way to find atonement for his actions and make things right within himself before the end comes..."<br />
* "Killing in the name of vengeance solves nothing. You forever tie the killer and victim in your memory. Better that the killer fall and be remembered for his other sins and shortcomings than for what he took from you."<br />
* "I think I just got trolled..."<br />
<br />

<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

<br />
Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />
<br />
At public gathers, Fifi! is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />
<br />
==Enemies==<br />
The Sabbat, who probably have her on some "hit list"<br />

If she has any other enemies, they either haven't made themselves public, or they no longer exist.<br />

<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords.

<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

<br />
Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />
<br />
At public gathers, Fifi! is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />
<br />

<br />
Most remember the days where Fifi! dressed in glamorous attire - adorned with pink and glitter. Those days seem to have passed. Her appearance has taken a dark and more formal tone. At a typical gathering she is seen in an elegant black dress with simple jewelry. <br />
<br />
When not in the presence of other kindred she is seen with her two purebred rottweilers, Azrael and Osiris, who do not seem intimidated or fearful of her.<br />

<br />
<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />
<br />
At public gathers, Fifi! is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />

<br />
* "You realize that pejorative you just called me comes from Sabbat propaganda, right?"<br><br />

* "No, I do not carry my dog in my purse... The rottweiler wouldn't fit."<br><br />
* (after others notice her appearance or visions and start asking questions) "That's classified... CLASSIFIED information."<br><br />
* "Oh, don't be worried. ''(insert name of scary/powerful kindred here)'' is really a nice person once you get to know them."<br><br />

* "I look in this room and all I see are monsters. Some just wear prettier masks." - Masquerade Ball in New Orleans, September 2011<br />
* "Some say the death of my sire's killer was justice and closure. I say it was a hollow death - more blood to grease the gears of this never-stopping machine."<br />
* "I gave him one of the few things that few of our kind have come to expect - forgiveness. I will not allow his actions to harden my heart. I offered him a way to find atonement for his actions and make things right within himself before the end comes..."<br />
* "Killing in the name of vengeance solves nothing. You forever tie the killer and victim in your memory. Better that the killer fall and be remembered for his other sins and shortcomings than for what he took from you."<br />

== Overview ==<br />
<br />
'''Real Name:''' Carlos Rubianes <br />
<br />
'''Apparent Age:''' early 20's <br />
<br />
'''Concept:''' Gay Soldier <br />
<br />
'''Physical description:''' Cropped brown hair, hazel eyes, 5'3", obviously Puerto Rican <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Character Information ==<br />
<br />
Born in Miami, Florida, Zio! has stated that he was a soldier during the first Gulf War and that he was Embraced shortly after returning. He is noticably Puerto Rican and has shown a very deep connection to his birthplace, which he has stated he cannot go back to due to Setites. The details are unknown.<br />
<br />
He arrived in Iowa City in 2006 with his broodmate (name and whereabouts unknown). His flamboyant attitude and demeanor were immediately met with disapproval by then-Prince Philip Michael Kennedy. In one night, Zio! was given $1,000,000 and Embrace rights to leave. As of yet, those Embrace rights have not been "cashed in." <br />
<br />
Zio! most notably arrived in the "spotlight" during the seige of New York in late 2006. As a founding member of the team "Whisky Tango Fantastic" with such Kindred as [[Francis Merevein]], [[Jacob Tallfeather]] and [[Obsidious]], they were instrumental in many of the great battles that happened during the siege. It was during this time that he began to study the Sabbat in some detail, going so far as to disappear from time to time on "hunting trips" with Francis, returning with more knowledge about them. He was the last soldier to remain in the New York area after all others had given up hope. In 2007, he came to the Grand Elysium in Columbus to meet and debrief on the situation in New York. On an excursion to rescue the Chief Archon to the Brujah, [[Simon Churchill]], Zio! was kidnapped by the Sabbat. He was retrieved the next day and spent 6 months in rehabilitation under the care of Justicar [[Jaroslav Pascek]].<br />
<br />
Upon awakening, Zio! showed a streak of aggression that had not been apparent before. It was shrugged off and he quickly moved up the rank and file of Kindred society, most noticeably in Cedar Rapids where he was alternately Scourge, Sheriff, Keeper, and Seneschal. While Sheriff, he displayed an obvious dislike for the Malkavian Harpy, [[Saffron Lake]]. Repeatedly commenting on her abuse of Brujah and her tendency to extort boons from them, Zio! repeatedly told his Clan and his Commanders that he would kill her, to no response.<br />
<br />
In Black Hawk County, while he was Seneschal in Cedar Rapids, he actually did kill [[Saffron Lake]] (then a citizen of Iowa City) by extinguishing a cigarette on her. In the resulting uproar, he was Blood-hunted in Cedar Rapids while he was at the Grand Elysium in Columbus. Further investigations into the motivations for his actions showed he had Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. He was introduced to therapy sessions with then-Archon [[Invidia]] (now [[Adrian Serra]]), who improved his condition and made him "acceptable" for society.<br />
<br />
It was also around this time that Zio! made amends for Saffron's death with Her Lady [[Maris Streck]] in a meeting with [[Jacob Black]] and [http://gnvtnc.org/index.php?title=Garrett_Dannington Garrett Dannington] (there to represent Clan Brujah's interests). No one save those three knows what happened in the meeting, but the results were Zio! working for Jacob and Garret handing Jacob $5.<br />
<br />
The next two years of Zio!'s story involved service to the Malkavian office. It was also during this time he co-founded Team Fail, a coterie of warriors who would come and help fight the Sabbat. <br />
<br />
On New Year's Day 2010, Zio! organized the domain of the Twin Cities to remove [[Chester Black]] from power by removing his Acknowledgement. Then, he claimed praxis, facing an Ordeal delivered by Archon [[Gerald the Sane]] on behalf of Justicar [[Cock Robin]] to atone for the crimes [[Chester Black]] had committed. He was an unusual Prince, encouraging his citizens to "stop being vampires" as well as espousing cooperation and teamwork. Three months later, the Ordeal was deemed completed and Zio! stepped down as Prince, stating he was not a peacetime Prince and that he had accomplished what he had set out to do.<br />
<br />
Two months later, Zio! was named a full Archon to Her Lady [[Maris Streck]] of Clan Malkavian.<br />

==Known History==<br />
Luni appeared one day in the Domain of Twin Cities claiming to be a wanderer. She stayed there for almost a year before moving to the domain of Black Hawk County. She often travels without any real pattern or consistency to nearby domains. <br />
<br />
Shortly after her arrival in the Twin Cities it was found out by [[Zio!]] that she is a seer. For her use of this ability to help the domain he awarded her the status of Wise for which she is named.<br />
<br />
She moved to Black Hawk County and became Harpy there under Prince [[Richardson]]. Shortly before Richardson lost his praxis she took the post of Malkavian Primogen.<br />
<br />
She is very close with [[Lady Black]] and Luni can be seen in Lady Black's entourage at events they both attend.<br />
<br />
She came to Prince [[Murray x]] in the summer of 2012 and asked him to grant Acknowledgement for [[Colin Laney]], a Malkavian who had apparently been under her Accounting for some time. <br />

<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

<br />
Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />
<br />
At public gathers, Fifi! is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />
<br />
==Enemies==<br />

<br />
* "You realize that pejorative you just called me comes from Sabbat propaganda, right?"<br><br />
* "I think that the whole ''"childe taking on the sire's last name"'' trend is silly. That's why I have a dual last name. Exclamation point, LeStrange. The hyphen is invisible."<br><br />
* "My Sire called me the ''[[Sara Durward]] of Clan Brujah''... I don't know whether that was supposed to be a complement or insult..."<br><br />
* "DAMN YOU ZIO!!!!" (usually exclaimed after discovering see her as a leader... and she says it even when he's nowhere in sight)<br><br />

* "No, I do not carry my dog in my purse... The rottweiler wouldn't fit."<br><br />
* (after others notice her appearance or visions and start asking questions) "That's classified... CLASSIFIED information."<br><br />
* "Oh, don't be worried. ''(insert name of scary/powerful kindred here)'' is really a nice person once you get to know them."<br><br />

* "I look in this room and all I see are monsters. Some just wear prettier masks." - Masquerade Ball in New Orleans, September 2011<br />
* "Some say the death of my sire's killer was justice and closure. I say it was a hollow death - more blood to grease the gears of this never-stopping machine."<br />
* "I gave him one of the few things that few of our kind have come to expect - forgiveness. I will not allow his actions to harden my heart. I offered him a way to find atonement for his actions and make things right within himself before the end comes..."<br />
* "Killing in the name of vengeance solves nothing. You forever tie the killer and victim in your memory. Better that the killer fall and be remembered for his other sins and shortcomings than for what he took from you."<br />
* "I think I just got trolled..."<br />

<br />
Most remember the days where Fifi! dressed in glamorous attire - adorned with pink and glitter. Those days seem to have passed. Her appearance has taken a dark and more formal tone. At a typical gathering she is seen in an elegant black dress with simple jewelry. <br />

When not in the presence of other kindred she is seen with her two purebred rottweilers, Azrael and Osiris, who do not seem intimidated or fearful of her.<br />

<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

<br />
Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />
<br />
At public gathers, Fifi! is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />
<br />
==Enemies==<br />

==Quotes ''by'' Fifi!==<br />
<br />
* "You realize that pejorative you just called me comes from Sabbat propaganda, right?"<br><br />
* "I think that the whole ''"childe taking on the sire's last name"'' trend is silly. That's why I have a dual last name. Exclamation point, LeStrange. The hyphen is invisible."<br><br />
* "My Sire called me the ''[[Sara Durward]] of Clan Brujah''... I don't know whether that was supposed to be a complement or insult..."<br><br />
* "DAMN YOU ZIO!!!!" (usually exclaimed after discovering see her as a leader... and she says it even when he's nowhere in sight)<br><br />
* "You want to appoint me as Primogen? Let me consult the clan on this... (points to someone else) He's our Primogen!" ''(this plan lasted for only 2 months)''<br><br />
* "No, I do not carry my dog in my purse... The rottweiler wouldn't fit."<br><br />
* (after others notice her appearance or visions and start asking questions) "That's classified... CLASSIFIED information."<br><br />
* "Oh, don't be worried. ''(insert name of scary/powerful kindred here)'' is really a nice person once you get to know them."<br><br />
* "I've only been good at figuring out what's right and wrong ''for myself''. The few times that I've ''judged'' others were those where I was hurt by whatever happened" - Fiona on morality<br />
* "Everyone's acting so nice to me... I think that people keep forgetting that I'm, you know... kindred."<br />
* "I look in this room and all I see are monsters. Some just wear prettier masks." - Masquerade Ball in New Orleans, September 2011<br />
* "Some say the death of my sire's killer was justice and closure. I say it was a hollow death - more blood to grease the gears of this never-stopping machine."<br />
* "I gave him one of the few things that few of our kind have come to expect - forgiveness. I will not allow his actions to harden my heart. I offered him a way to find atonement for his actions and make things right within himself before the end comes..."<br />
* "Killing in the name of vengeance solves nothing. You forever tie the killer and victim in your memory. Better that the killer fall and be remembered for his other sins and shortcomings than for what he took from you."<br />
* "I think I just got trolled..."<br />

Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

* "You realize that pejorative you just called me comes from Sabbat propaganda, right?"<br><br />

* "I look in this room and all I see are monsters. Some just wear prettier masks." - Masquerade Ball in New Orleans, September 2011<br />
* "Some say the death of my sire's killer was justice and closure. I say it was a hollow death - more blood to grease the gears of this never-stopping machine."<br />

<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

<br />
When not in the presence of other kindred she is seen with her two purebred rottweilers, Azrael and Osiris, who do not seem intimidated or fearful of her.<br />

<br />
<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />
<br />
At public gathers, Fifi! is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />

<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />
<br />
At public gathers, Fifi! is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />

==Quotes ''by'' Fifi!==<br />
<br />
* "You realize that pejorative you just called me comes from Sabbat propaganda, right?"<br><br />
* "I think that the whole ''"childe taking on the sire's last name"'' trend is silly. That's why I have a dual last name. Exclamation point, LeStrange. The hyphen is invisible."<br><br />
* "My Sire called me the ''[[Sara Durward]] of Clan Brujah''... I don't know whether that was supposed to be a complement or insult..."<br><br />
* "DAMN YOU ZIO!!!!" (usually exclaimed after discovering see her as a leader... and she says it even when he's nowhere in sight)<br><br />
* "You want to appoint me as Primogen? Let me consult the clan on this... (points to someone else) He's our Primogen!" ''(this plan lasted for only 2 months)''<br><br />
* "No, I do not carry my dog in my purse... The rottweiler wouldn't fit."<br><br />
* (after others notice her appearance or visions and start asking questions) "That's classified... CLASSIFIED information."<br><br />
* "Oh, don't be worried. ''(insert name of scary/powerful kindred here)'' is really a nice person once you get to know them."<br><br />
* "I've only been good at figuring out what's right and wrong ''for myself''. The few times that I've ''judged'' others were those where I was hurt by whatever happened" - Fiona on morality<br />
* "Everyone's acting so nice to me... I think that people keep forgetting that I'm, you know... kindred."<br />
* "I look in this room and all I see are monsters. Some just wear prettier masks." - Masquerade Ball in New Orleans, September 2011<br />
* "Some say the death of my sire's killer was justice and closure. I say it was a hollow death - more blood to grease the gears of this never-stopping machine."<br />
* "I gave him one of the few things that few of our kind have come to expect - forgiveness. I will not allow his actions to harden my heart. I offered him a way to find atonement for his actions and make things right within himself before the end comes..."<br />
* "Killing in the name of vengeance solves nothing. You forever tie the killer and victim in your memory. Better that the killer fall and be remembered for his other sins and shortcomings than for what he took from you."<br />
* "I think I just got trolled..."<br />

Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />

At public gathers, Fifi! is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />

<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

<br />
Most remember the days where Fifi! dressed in glamorous attire - adorned with pink and glitter. Those days seem to have passed. Her appearance has taken a dark and more formal tone. At a typical gathering she is seen in an elegant black dress with simple jewelry. <br />
<br />
When not in the presence of other kindred she is seen with her two purebred rottweilers, Azrael and Osiris, who do not seem intimidated or fearful of her.<br />

<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

<br />
Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />
<br />
At public gathers, Fifi! is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />
<br />
At public gathers, Fifi! is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />
<br />
==Enemies==<br />
The Sabbat, who probably have her on some "hit list"<br />

<br />
* "You realize that pejorative you just called me comes from Sabbat propaganda, right?"<br><br />
* "I think that the whole ''"childe taking on the sire's last name"'' trend is silly. That's why I have a dual last name. Exclamation point, LeStrange. The hyphen is invisible."<br><br />

* "No, I do not carry my dog in my purse... The rottweiler wouldn't fit."<br><br />
* (after others notice her appearance or visions and start asking questions) "That's classified... CLASSIFIED information."<br><br />
* "Oh, don't be worried. ''(insert name of scary/powerful kindred here)'' is really a nice person once you get to know them."<br><br />

* "I look in this room and all I see are monsters. Some just wear prettier masks." - Masquerade Ball in New Orleans, September 2011<br />
* "Some say the death of my sire's killer was justice and closure. I say it was a hollow death - more blood to grease the gears of this never-stopping machine."<br />
* "Killing in the name of vengeance solves nothing. You forever tie the killer and victim in your memory. Better that the killer fall and be remembered for his other sins and shortcomings than for what he took from you."<br />

In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

<br />
When not in the presence of other kindred she is seen with her two purebred rottweilers, Azrael and Osiris, who do not seem intimidated or fearful of her.<br />

<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

<br />
<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fifi! as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fifi! is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers <i>(OOC: Fame x 3: Iowa)</i>... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fifi! moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fifi! (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. In the year that followed, she lost many who were close to her. Zio!, her Sire, was killed by a Sabbat infiltrator. Her dear friend Matthias Blackstone died in a failed praxis seizure. Noctis, her former coterie-mate, confidante, and ally, was murdered shortly after they spoke with each other at the Midwinter gather in 2012. She walked away from her obligations and from the social spotlight for several months, finally re-emerging from her grief in autumn 2012. That October, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />
<br />
==Coterie==<br />
Team Fail / Team Freeman (disbanded) - reconnaissance guru and Public Relations manager<br />
<br />
<br />
==Allies==<br />
<br />
Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />
<br />
At public gathers, Fifi! is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Enemies==<br />
The Sabbat, who probably have her on some "hit list"<br />
<br />
If she has any other enemies, they haven't made themselves public.<br />

==Quotes ''by'' Fifi!==<br />
<br />
* "You realize that pejorative you just called me comes from Sabbat propaganda, right?"<br><br />
* "I think that the whole ''"childe taking on the sire's last name"'' trend is silly. That's why I have a dual last name. Exclamation point, LeStrange. The hyphen is invisible."<br><br />
* "My Sire called me the ''[[Sara Durward]] of Clan Brujah''... I don't know whether that was supposed to be a complement or insult..."<br><br />
* "DAMN YOU ZIO!!!!" (usually exclaimed after discovering see her as a leader... and she says it even when he's nowhere in sight)<br><br />
* "You want to appoint me as Primogen? Let me consult the clan on this... (points to someone else) He's our Primogen!" ''(this plan lasted for only 2 months)''<br><br />
* "No, I do not carry my dog in my purse... The rottweiler wouldn't fit."<br><br />
* (after others notice her appearance or visions and start asking questions) "That's classified... CLASSIFIED information."<br><br />
* "Oh, don't be worried. ''(insert name of scary/powerful kindred here)'' is really a nice person once you get to know them."<br><br />
* "I've only been good at figuring out what's right and wrong ''for myself''. The few times that I've ''judged'' others were those where I was hurt by whatever happened" - Fiona on morality<br />
* "Everyone's acting so nice to me... I think that people keep forgetting that I'm, you know... kindred."<br />
* "I look in this room and all I see are monsters. Some just wear prettier masks." - Masquerade Ball in New Orleans, September 2011<br />
* "Some say the death of my sire's killer was justice and closure. I say it was a hollow death - more blood to grease the gears of this never-stopping machine."<br />
* "Killing in the name of vengeance solves nothing. You forever tie the killer and victim in your memory. Better that the killer fall and be remembered for his other sins and shortcomings than for what he took from you."<br />
* "I think I just got trolled..."<br />

Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded over the past year, most likely as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. She made few public appearances since the death of her Sire at the hands of a Sabbat infiltrator. In October 2012, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

Most remember the days where Fiona dressed in glamorous attire - adorned with pink and glitter. Those days seem to have passed. Her appearance has taken a dark and more formal tone. At a typical gathering she is seen in an elegant black dress with simple jewelry. <br />
<br />
When not in the presence of other kindred she is seen with her two purebred rottweilers, Azrael and Osiris, who do not seem intimidated or fearful of her.<br />

<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fiona as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fiona is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fiona moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fiona (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded over the past year, most likely as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. She made few public appearances since the death of her Sire at the hands of a Sabbat infiltrator. In October 2012, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />

'''Physical description:''' 5'10 (6' 2 if you add high heels) slightly tan, Caucasian with brunette ''(formerly blonde)'' hair and icy blue eyes. She has a Rubenesque form; a body with soft curves in just the right places. Her appearance is so vibrant that she's constantly mistaken for human.<br />
<br />
Most remember the days where Fiona dressed in glamorous attire - adorned with pink and glitter. Those days seem to have passed. Her appearance has taken a dark and more formal tone. At a typical gathering she is seen in an elegant black dress with simple jewelry. <br />
<br />
When not in the presence of other kindred she is seen with her two purebred rottweilers, Azrael and Osiris, who do not seem intimidated or fearful of her.<br />

<br />
<h2>Character Information</h2><br />
<br />
Many kindred see Fiona as a member of Clan Brujah. Some believe her to be Caitiff due to various "human" traits that she's rumored to possess. <br />
<br />
Fiona is known for her closeness to her humanity and is seen as a moral compass within Kindred society. She prefers to wait until a Kindred approaches her before helping them protect and maintain their Humanity. Those from the outside who assume that humane and spiritual equal "pure" find out quickly that they are wrong. Fifi! comfortably speaks about what she has learned when it comes to "legally questionable" pleasures of the flesh. She is also not afraid of showing that she has a dark sense of humor and a fascination with death and the dying. Some wonder whether this is due to the influence of the men in her life, or if she is more monstrous than she appears.<br />
<br />
She was raised as a Catholic in her mortal life, and adheres to most of their tenets and rituals. However, at the recommendation of a fellow Soothsayer at the 2010 Midwinter's gather, Fiona has started to research other deities to revere in addition to the (young) Judeo-Christian god. She has since developed an interest in the Greek and Egyptian myths. <br />
<br />
Her humanitarian efforts focus on aiding the outcasts of society: needle exchanges for drug users, wet houses for homeless alcoholics, and health care and protective services for sex workers. There are rumors that she is also getting involved in the drug and sex trade markets, thereby creating a growing group of hedonists and those who would later need her "salvation".<br />
<br />
Among the mortal populace, she is known as a skilled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetologist#Becoming_a_cosmetologist Cosmetologist] and for helping to organize unorthodox social work like needle exchanges and health care services for sex workers... though that seems to be changing...<br />
<br />
==Known History==<br />
Few are around that remember Fifi's early years from when she was in Florida. During that time she and her Sire, [[Zio!]], were close. Something caused her to abruptly leave. No one knows whether she left because her Sire was slipping in his Humanity, or whether his decline was because of her leaving.<br />
<br />
During the following year (still early 2000's), she made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem - this was back when it was a "ghost town" for Kindred. No one knows why she traveled there, what she saw, or where she went afterwords. With the exception of an occasional sighting here or there, she fell off contact with Kindred society for several years.<br />
<br />
In September 2008, Fifi! appeared in the domain of Cedar Falls, Iowa. Despite appearing overly flamboyant, she was mild-tempered, quiet, and humane to the point where it showed in her physical appearance. When asked on her motives for moving to Iowa, she spoke of seeing a vision regarding her Sire, and feeling a calling that she needed to help him. <br />
<br />
Months after the St. Paul - Minneapolis conclave (early 2009), Fiona moved to the Twin Cities in order to be closer to her Sire and to experience "big city" life. <br />
<br />
She was Lesser Harpy to [[Alex Randall]] of Clan Malkavian. After a few months, Alex stood up to the Prince at that time, [[Chester Black]], and stripped him of several measures of standing due to various scandals. After Alex was banished, the Primogen asked Fiona (though still inexperienced) to become the next Harpy. Her removal as Harpy was due to rumors regarding her own views on the downfall of Chester Black (that he was 'set up' in the end). <br />
<br />
After that debacle, she served as Assistant Keeper for [[Horace Mansfield-Rhumer]], as well as Whip for her clan under numerous Primogen. Her disdain towards clan and sect politics has faded over the past year, most likely as a reaction to the deaths of her teacher and ally, [[Cadence Porter]], and [[Anthony Black]]. She originally accepted the role of Primogen when there were no viable options remaining. After a few months, she appeared to fully take on the role, and worked both within her city and outside of it in order to build political alliances.<br />
<br />
In the beginning of May 2011, she stepped down from Primogen and left the Twin Cities to return to Cedar Falls. She made few public appearances since the death of her Sire at the hands of a Sabbat infiltrator. In October 2012, Prince Murray conscripted her to serve as Primogen and to represent the Caitiff and "non-founding" clans.<br />
<br />
She lost her beloved, [[Aleister Blackwell]], in early December 2012. In a strange twist of fate, with timing that rivals the most tragic of romance stories, he was killed an hour before she planned to privately vow her undying love and loyalty to him. After losing so many - friends, paramours, her Sire, and what could have been true love - some question whether she will recover and stand on her own. Others wonder if she will show the greatest retribution of all - to rise like the Phoenix as the assailants upon her life find themselves ruined (assuming they survive their own reckonings).<br />
<br />
==Coterie==<br />
Team Fail / Team Freeman (disbanded) - reconnaissance guru and Public Relations manager<br />
<br />
<br />
==Allies==<br />
<br />
Several seemingly random yet important kindred know who she is and watch out for her. Ask her ''why'' they look out for her and she'll give you a blank, confused look in return. Maybe she's not fond of name-dropping.<br />
<br />
At public gathers, Fiona is typically seen associating with Malkavians (especially the very ''"enlightened"'' ones) or Tremere.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Enemies==<br />
The Sabbat, who probably have her on some "hit list"<br />
<br />
If she has any other enemies, they haven't made themselves public.<br />
<br />
==Sire==<br />
[[Zio!]] (Brujah), Former Archon: Deceased<br />

==Childer==<br />

==Quotes ''by'' Fiona LeStrange==<br />
<br />
* "You realize that pejorative you just called me comes from Sabbat propaganda, right?"<br><br />
* "I think that the whole ''"childe taking on the sire's last name"'' trend is silly. That's why I have a dual last name. Exclamation point, LeStrange. The hyphen is invisible."<br><br />
* "My Sire called me the ''[[Sara Durward]] of Clan Brujah''... I don't know whether that was supposed to be a complement or insult..."<br><br />
* "DAMN YOU ZIO!!!!" (usually exclaimed after discovering see her as a leader... and she says it even when he's nowhere in sight)<br><br />
* "You want to appoint me as Primogen? Let me consult the clan on this... (points to someone else) He's our Primogen!" ''(this plan lasted for only 2 months)''<br><br />
* "No, I do not carry my dog in my purse... The rottweiler wouldn't fit."<br><br />
* (after others notice her appearance or visions and start asking questions) "That's classified... CLASSIFIED information."<br><br />
* "Oh, don't be worried. ''(insert name of scary/powerful kindred here)'' is really a nice person once you get to know them."<br><br />
* "I've only been good at figuring out what's right and wrong ''for myself''. The few times that I've ''judged'' others were those where I was hurt by whatever happened" - Fiona on morality<br />
* "Everyone's acting so nice to me... I think that people keep forgetting that I'm, you know... kindred."<br />
* "I look in this room and all I see are monsters. Some just wear prettier masks." - Masquerade Ball in New Orleans, September 2011<br />
* "Some say the death of my sire's killer was justice and closure. I say it was a hollow death - more blood to grease the gears of this never-stopping machine."<br />
* "Killing in the name of vengeance solves nothing. You forever tie the killer and victim in your memory. Better that the killer fall and be remembered for his other sins and shortcomings than for what he took from you."<br />
* "I think I just got trolled..."<br />
