Overview

Kimberly playing Jennica

Aliases: Seneschal Sparrow, Ma'am, 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. If she is in the middle of traveling, or just flew in, she may be found in jeans and dark shirts.

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
• Cherished as Seneschal of Atlanta, Georgia
• Esteemed as Seneschal of Atlanta, Georgia
• Trusted as Seneschal of Atlanta, Georgia

Known History

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 roamed the continent for a while--then disappeared into torpor. Recently awakened, she now splits her time between her formal residence in north Georgia, serving as Seneschal of Atlanta, and travelling to see friends near and far.

Quotes

By Jennica:

• "Fiat justitia."
• "Legends have lives, too."
• "Strength without discipline is wild, destructive. But discipline without strength is vulnerable."
• "The older we become, the more we lose what made us human. Some of us lose it, entirely. And so we struggle to put words to feelings, to ideas, and even if we are successful, even if we frame our hearts perfectly...sometimes there is no audience."
• "It is easy to feel that one lacks the proper words to express what is inside. Words, like anything else, are tools. Sometimes the tools we are given are inadequate to perform the task we desire."

Concerning Jennica:

• 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
• "For saying that you would not understand what I have experienced, you seem to comprehend it better then even I do." - Elias Beecher
• "Wild, untamed, beautiful. All of a woman's strengths, with none of a woman's frailties." - Jon-Apolo de Soult

Rumors

• She was the inspiration for "As The Sparrow," a poem written by Charles Bukowski.
• Jennica wrote the first drafts of the "Rinaldi Doctrine" while sitting in an oak tree.
• 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. Some believe she is in far more danger of losing her soul than those whose feral natures can be seen.
• Jennica appears to be on friendly terms with the Kuei-Jin of San Fransisco.
• Some think Jennica has her eye on another praxis in Georgia. When questioned, she tilts her head to the side and stares until the one asking drops the subject.
• Jennica and Seneschal Jan van Rheinlander are often found in the same places, being frequent visitors to one another's domains. This leads to regular discussions about precisely which seneschal is needed for an emergency at any given time.
• Has her own Toreador fan club. Jenncia tries to hide from her, but is usually unsuccessful, as her position in Atlanta demands some public appearances.
• She is possibly the only Gangrel in Georgia who hasn't been possessed by a spirit, struck secret deals with Lupines, or openly stated her greatest allegiance is not to the Camarilla. If she has done any of these things, she at least has the decorum to keep them behind closed doors.
• Though she is assumed to travel in animal form, no one can remember seeing Jennica as an animal.
• An elder Toreador Casanova once attempted to flirt with Jennica, but failed entirely, due either to her complete indifference or utter obliviousness. Annoyed, he nicknamed her "Icebox" and mocked her cool reserve in front of other members of the court. Twenty-four hours later, he returned from a party to find his haven a smoldering pile of rubble.
• Founding member of the "Not My Problem Visiting Seneschal Club."
• Despite her intense social reserve, which lends the appearance of a wholly serious personality, Jennica does possess a sense of humor.
