Known History

Once she was rising star in Germany's culinary world. Her passion caught the attention of her sire upon first meeting, or the assault on her sous-chef during competition may have had something to do with it. Whatever the rationale, her 'lie, steal, cheat, kill or die' attitude for perfecting her art led her into the arms of Clan Toreador.

The tall rose devoured every lesson her sire had to offer, even finding herself a mentor in Lucas Grunwald in combat tactics. It has been suggested on more than one occasion that she inherited both his disdain for stupidity. After his death Petra kept her name hyphenated in his memory. With the passing of her broodmate Aegis Cole soon after, she was thrown into a deeper state of mourning.

After reeling from enough tragedy Petra began considering a change of scenery for herself. The wandering rose made quite a splash in the domain of her broodmate Zackary Cole while visiting with her family in 2013. She was even spotted out in public dancing with Prince Luther Rommell.

She came to be the caretaker of Dr. Ion, a scientifically gifted ghoul whose vivid imagination for innovation matches her thirst for culinary discovery. She is incredibly protective of him and his time, and is known to charge for it if she feels it will take him away from the projects she has designated him to. When he was forcefully embraced by a member of Clan Lasombra she was launched into a deep despair for the loss of his promising future. Even with his acknowledgement into the Camarilla she is still greatly pained whenever she sees him.

It has been a long night, tread carefully

After a trip to Columbus, Ohio and an extended conversation with their Keeper, she was struck with inspiration, sending the domain 7 Yoshino Cherry Trees as a token of affection. She would return again a year later to check up on her new found friends.

Initially she served in the Primogen seat of Atlanta, Georgia, a reputedly cursed spot for Toreador after David Blanchett vacated the position, as well as existence. Despite this, she was seen in numerous domains with an easy going smile, though she had been seen on the arm of a certain Columbus Gangrel on more than one occasion.

The wandering rose then made her next move, this time as Seneschal of Atlanta, Georgia. As excited as some were for this promotion, Grunwald-Cole herself seemed to be growing in ire for the boldly stupid.

Her brief romance with Irish, has met with a tragic end after his assassination. She has not forgotten nor has she forgiven his killers. Some time after this loss Petra began allowing herself to wear colors again. It has been suggested that she will wear the colors of those she has fallen in love with or whose favor she wishes to win.

As wild and bold as Petra has been she met with a very sudden and unexplained silence for roughly six months between 2019 and early 2020.

After her sudden disappearance in mid 2019 the Seneschal of Atlanta has erupted from the confines of the astral plane in early 2020. An eerie spectrum of broken colors swirls endlessly in her eyes and the coquettish albeit charming rose is now more abrupt and bitey than ever after dropping her hyphenated name. Any smiles she gives these nights often do not reach her eyes as she seems largely distracted by an unseen presence whenever she is out and about. She now refuses to go by anything other than Petra Grunwald. Tread carefully.
