Overview

Jennica Sparrow

Aliases: Jen, the Fair, Lady Sparrow, (Gangrel Only: Calamity Jane)

Real Name: Unknown

Apparent Age: early 30s

Physical Description: Jennica is a tall, willowy woman with stunning pale features. (Gorgeous x5, Magnetic x3) She has dark blue eyes and long, wavy red hair typically worn loose around her shoulders. At court, she tends toward formal clothing in dark colors, be it a well-tailored suit or an understated cocktail dress, always with heels. Outside of court, she prefers menswear--trousers and button-down shirts, sweaters and vests, and the occasional tie. Few have caught her in anything as casual as a pair of jeans.


Detailed Status:

  • Acknowledged by Patrick Reval, former Prince of Athens, Georgia
  • Respected by word of Richard King, former Prince of Northern Virginia
  • Just by word of Jordan Drake, former Prince of Athens, Georgia
  • Proper by word of Archon Hugo Valentine, former Prince of Columbus


Known History

Kimberly playing Jennica

She is the resplendent other,
the glorious dark horizon.
To be in her arms is to be in her confidence,
and in her heart there is a vast plain
where dead men sleep.


Very little is known of Jennica's past, which she prefers not to discuss; bits and pieces are best gleaned from those who have known her a while.

It is supposed that she wandered the country for many years before making her formal debut into Camarilla society, being a natural loner and uncomfortable with relinquishing her anonymity. The years that followed, however, made her allegiance clear, culminating in her decision to remain with the Camarilla when the majority of her clan tore itself away. She never publicly regretted the decision, and developed a reputation for strict adherence to the Traditions and the practice of prestation. Armed with this knowledge and conviction, Jennica served as the Harpy of Athens, Georgia for several years under the Malkavian Prince Jordan Drake. Subsequent changes in the administration saw Jennica also serve as Sheriff of Athens, before she took praxis in the spring of 2010.

Perusing her recent history, one might believe Jennica has radically rejected her clan's stereotypical penchant for wandering between domains, to the point of being dubbed a "city Gangrel" by those lacking wit for better insults. In the instances where she does leave home, her travels seem driven less by wanderlust than to some commitment to an untold plan.

Ousted from praxis by a clanmate in late 2010, Jennica now splits her time between her formal residence in middle Georgia and travels to see friends near and far.


Coterie

"Coteries are for people who don't love the Camarilla enough."

Allies

Kimberly as Jennica with Ash Williams

Jennica isn't one to talk politics on a regular basis, and rarely makes deals--or offers any, for that matter. But based on who she spends her time talking to, it can be assumed she likes the following people, in non-offensive alphabetical order:

  • Ash Williams - "I like how he squirms when we talk."
  • Bradley P. Lazarion - "A gentleman at all times that I have known him."
  • Crumpton - "I miss his awkward jokes."
  • Edward Stark - "His silence and conversation were equally enjoyable."
  • Elias Beecher - "He has yet to do me harm. As long as that trend continues, I like him."
  • Gaius Marcoh - "Gaius could never reconcile his ideals with his existence. His devotion proved his end."
  • Gideon - "Out, brief candle."
  • Hugo Valentine - "I shouldn't find him so attractive. I am sure it is unhealthy."
  • Jackson Riley - "He doesn't believe in what others would call 'bullshit.' I appreciate that."
  • Joe Barclay - "Smart and honest. We could use a few more like him."
  • Jon-Apolo de Soult - "He flatters me, and I fall for it. I try to return the favor."
  • Justin Lazarion - "He is the most charming blend of spiritual depth and youthful naivete."
  • Leyla Hunter - "A clanmate of class, intelligence, and warmth."
  • Mariana - "No other rose is quite as sweet, as this one's creativity is tempered with kindness."
  • Michael Jameson - "Michael Jameson made me hope for finer things out of our existence. Many of those hopes died with him."
  • Nathlar Shadowbourne - "In dark nights, he gives hope, and the crown suits him well. I hope his reign stretches into the years."
  • Virgil Deems - "An honorable man, claiming my respect and admiration. If I were not avoiding him, I'd like seeing him more often."
  • Wei Mu Tian - "He is a good man."

Enemies

  • Shanghai Kelly - "Archon Kelly is not an enemy. Enemies try to kill you. I think he just wants to see me miserable."

Sire

Jennica speaks of her sire rarely, and even then, passes over his name: Silas. Those Gangrel who knew him recall a man with unremarkable features and a quiet disposition, given to contemplative wandering and steady temperament. Though rumored to be physically powerful, he shied from fights and crowds. He is presumed dead.

Broodmates

The woman will tell you she has no broodmates, and wouldn't want them, either.

Childer

None known to the public.

Quotes

By Jennica:

  • "Fiat justitia."
  • "Legends have lives, too."
  • "Strength without discipline is wild, destructive. But discipline without strength is vulnerable."
  • "If I ever disappear, check Primogen Williams's basement."
  • To any statement she finds blatantly obvious: "I gathered."
  • "I have heard a rumor that you are a practicing serial killer. I just wanted to let you know that, should you decide to continue your killing spree in my city, I will not kill you, in return. No...I will put you in my basement, where I will take your body apart, piece by piece, over the course of several weeks." Checks her nails. "I will make sure you are aware of it, and feel it, every moment." She smiles for the first time in a year. "There, now everything is settled. I feel so much better. Aren't you glad we had this talk?"

Concerning Jennica:

  • "I love you, Jennica Sparrow." - Ash Williams
  • "I noticed you noticing me, so this is just to tell you, I'm putting you on notice." - Crumpton
  • "I saw this and I thought of you." Hands Jennica a pin that says "I haven't killed anyone all day. Do I get a cookie?" - Remy DeLaurent
  • Describing Jennica. "Classic sexy, mixed with that look of 'I will cut your balls off for my own amusement' feyish charm." - Jeice Kincaid
  • "I thought that you were haunting beautiful, and also a complete mystery. You guard yourself very strongly in court, and never truly show emotion. I never really blamed the game with you..." - Justin Lazarion
  • "You have suffered much to make yourself a great leader; in a most imperfect world, you strove to be a defender of your people and an arbiter of justice. These things were always written on your face and on your bearing and hands." - Wei Mu Tian

Rumors

  • She was the inspiration for "As The Sparrow," a poem written by Charles Bukowski.
  • Hector Reval took her praxis because she didn't pass out status for actions she considered "the duty of an ordinary citizen."
  • After the now-famous meeting in New Orleans, Jennica wrote the first drafts of the "Rinaldi Doctrine" while sitting in an oak tree.
    • She hates the current document with a passion, because she feels she can't agree with every sentiment is expresses. She is glad she never had to sign her name to it.
  • After losing Praxis, Jennica has become more and more reclusive, to the point of appearing among kindred only when absolutely necessary for the sake of propriety. Doing so, she appears uncomfortable and displeased.
  • Jennica is becoming a Buddhist. Or a nihilist. Or something so depressing it doesn't have a name.
  • While other Gangrel wear their animalistic features on their skin, Jennica is becoming an animal, inside. The more times passes, the more her personality and mannerisms warp into those of a wild creature.
  • Jennica once challenged Thomas Heard to an impromptu poetry contest, to be judged between themselves, after a public reading. Not only did she win, but the terms of their wager guaranteed that he would feel the sting for weeks to come.
  • (Gangrel only) Her nickname, Calamity Jane, stems from the curious way that tragedy seems to precede her when she wanders the earth on a walkabout.
  • Jennica appears to be on friendly terms with the Kuei-Jin of San Fransisco, often talking with them during the May gather on the west coast.
    • At one point, she was overheard asking one: "Wei sent you to babysit me, didn't he?" The group had a difficult time convincing her otherwise.
  • Some think Jennica has her eye on the Praxis of Middle Georgia. If so, her plan seems to be to bide her time until the current Prince fails.
    • On the other hand, she seems rather disengaged with the local politics, spending the (very few) gathers she appears in reading and writing. Offered a seat on the Primogen Council, she has yet to take it, claiming that her "home on the west coast" demands too much personal time to do the position justice.
