Known History

Andrea's Monogram

Andrea is known to be relatively young. She has resided in Portland, Maine since January 2009, during which time she has risen quickly within the clan and the City of Portland as a whole. She took uncontested praxis of Portland, ME on April 9, 2011 after the kidnapping and death of Jerry Bonard at the hands of the Sabbat. In March 2015 she was recognized a Sovereign Prince of the Camarilla, the announcement being made by Queen Anne Bowsley. In recent years she seems to spend as much time on the international stage as at home, at important political meetings and social gatherings alike, approaching difficult topics and individuals in a direct manner that makes some very uncomfortable.

She has lost a number of people close to her through death or otherwise over the years and she feels those losses deeply. She always has embroidered black handkerchiefs with her and often supplies them to those in need discretely and with sympathy. She seems to enjoy situations that push others' perceptions or expectations, though she never quite seems to cross social lines completely.

“Words have weight, something once said cannot be unsaid. Meaning is like a stone dropped into a pool; the ripples will spread and you cannot know what back they wash against.”

Quotes

• Prince McDermott: "You did check [the building we're in] for Hunters, too, right?" - Sheriff: "Um... No." - Seneschal: "That's why you're the brains of the operations, boss."

• "Don't listen to them. You get to be whoever you want. They think they know you. Whatever they see... if you act even a bit like a child, you are treated as a child. If you want to be a Queen... act it. You told me what you wanted and felt. Don't doubt it. Don't let them define you. But proving them wrong isn't easy. It's a hard and long road. If you peck and flutter and panic like a baby bird... it's what they see and what you are. But... Be a hawk. An eagle. Or a phoenix - though I don't want you to burn out. Learn to be still. To watch. To wait. Remember, always. But... be aloof. Above them."

• "I admire your strength." Andrea: "Admire it a hundred years from now."

• "Sovereign Prince Deems has some sexy writing."

• In reference to Sovereign Prince Rook in leather pants, "I understand he has a fantastic ass."
