Character Information

File:Fairytale Rachel.png

Rachel Dubhan speaks with an upper class English accent with an enchanting voice. She is generally clothed stylishly in dressy outfits that are not overly trendy. Her hair is often pulled back or pinned up with jeweled accessories. She appears to be high on the Path of Humanity, and often (but not always) has warm skin and a heartbeat.

While most people would describe her as beautiful, she does not have the stunning, near supernatural beauty possessed by many of her Clanmates. She thinks of herself as a plain woman who knows how to make the best of her good features with makeup and the right clothing.

She has hosted a number of successful parties with themes ranging from Courtly Love to Steampunk. Although she clearly has an appreciation for the finer things in life, she does not appear to display the degenerate hedonism typical of many Toreador.

Rachel Dubhan is a talented actor, sculptor, ballroom dancer, and writer. She rarely performs or displays her artwork before Kindred audiences, and she admits to using many pseudonyms for her work.

She is locally known for her knowledge of Lore. She admits that her understanding comes from a mixture of study and firsthand experience.

Known History

Rachel Dubhan came to the Domain of Middle Georgia from the UK in late 2007. She quickly distinguished herself by playing a crucial role preventing the Domain from being destroyed by Lupines. She served as Seneschal when her close ally, Ivan Sjekna of Clan Gangrel, took Praxis of Middle Georgia.

In late 2008, she convinced the Primogen Council to mandate that any Kindred who killed a mortal would owe a Blood Boon to the Primogen who controlled the feeding grounds in which the killing took place. The action was backed by the Harpy and Prince. This unanimous support of the Primogen Council surprised many citizens of the Domain, including some of the other officers. Many had felt that passing the proposition would have been impossible, since the lower Humanity Primogen would never support it. Since Dubhan met with each of the other Primogen privately, it is not publicly known exactly how she managed to convince all of them.

The Followers of Set had long plagued the Domain of Middle Georgia. In March of 2009, Prince Ivan Sjeckna decided to lead members of the Domain into Statesboro, a known Setite stronghold. This party was unprepared for the strength of the sorcerers who dwelt there. While the Camarilla suffered no losses, they were forced to flee. The next month, Statesboro was hit with a heavy storm. Stories of strange phenomenon resembling a column of fire over the city and numerous missing person reports came out of the city. At the next Court, a noticeably lower Humanity Seneschal Dubhan reported that every Follower of Set who did not flee had been killed. She has never given precise details about what happened, and several Camarilla members doubt the true extent of her involvement. She seemed to regain her Humanity rather quickly and expressed vague regret about her actions there.

Rachel Dubhan and Ivan Sjekna had a falling out, and she stepped down from the position of Seneschal in August 2009. Prince Sjekna relinquished his Praxis that October. She has remained an active part of Middle Georgia, primarily known for her skills in gathering information

She served as Harpy of Atlanta in 2009 and 2010. Her most notable actions in that position were hosting the 2010 Atlanta Gala and declaring that the Brujah Justicar's attempt to strip Status without invoking his own was invalid. She voluntarily relinquished her own Status to demonstrate that her actions were not derived from selfish motivations.

At the end of April 2011, she left the Domain of Middle Georgia suddenly. She told few why she was leaving, simply saying that personal duty required her to travel elsewhere.

Coterie

She is not a part of any known coterie, unless you count Clan Toreador.

Allies

(Feel free to add your PC if you think it would be publicly known)
Alabastor Haroukin
Rachel is often seen in the company of Lilyanna Salvatore and the other Toreador of northern Georgia. She is also known to be allies with Victor Gaunt of the Children of Haqim.

She also has a particularly close relationship with the Toreador elder Justine Westshire.

Enemies

(Feel free to add your PC here too, if you think it would be publicly known. I would certainly be interested to find out.)

Alexi, a Toreador Anti with a magical sword, is very eager to get his hands on her.

Sire

Not public knowledge, but many assume it to be Justine Westshire because Rachel was under her Accounting. However, Rachel never refers to Westshire as her sire, which seems to indicate that Rachel may be in her line, but not her direct childe.

Childer

Emerald Dubhan (adopted Brujah, deceased)

Broodmates

Unknown

Character Inspirations

Originally it was "Toreador with an English accent that has an art form I can at least fake." The character has grown quite a bit since then.

Quotes

"Oh, really? I'm always surprised when anyone says they have heard of me, since I tend to be rather forgettable. All good things, I'm sure?"

After listening carefully to Lupine howls:
Rachel: "It's alright. They are leaving now."
Abigail McCormack: "How do you know?"
Rachel: "Oh, I speak a little Lupine."

"You are a Disney Princess!" - Sabrina Pandora

"I am not a coward. I have faced twenty Lupines single-handedly for Middle Georgia. I fought upon the streets of Statesboro while smoke blotted out the stars and the only light was the fire and lightning from the fingertips of sorcerers. I was not afraid to enter satanic temples to face the abominations lurking within. I was not afraid to go toe to toe with the fomorii that crept from Lake Sinclair. The problems currently facing Middle Georgia are not the worst I have seen. No terror could drive me from the city I call home."
