16-20

Physical description:
Magpie is a petite half-Chinese girl in early 20s. Her hair is long and dark, styled variously depending on occasion. Recently she has taken to clipping tinsel or locks of colored hair like Zyra, the Toreador tattoo artist to whom she was recently under the Accounting. Her eyes are a gunmetal grey, a small beauty mark beside her right eye. She dresses in whatever feels comfortable, mostly purple hues, but nothing that would be too revealing. She tends to wear earrings of spiders, various other pendant jewelry from a thorny rose to a serpent, and a black diamond spider bracelet.
She has a powerful aura about her of power that attracts attention (both good and bad). It is nearly holy and positive. Wraiths and Umbral Spirits are attracted to this like a bug light. She also radiates a sort of innocence and calm.

Character Information
Known History
Magpie was discovered on Halloween, 2010 wandering Prince Jericho Fenix's Domain. She managed to find her way to the party Gathering that night by intuition, claiming to have come from San Francisco. She did not know her Clan nor her Sire. At the Gathering she displayed a powerful oracular ability, which gained the attention of not only the Prince, but a Samedi named Dr. Willy, Servitor to then Archon Wendenheim. He took her under his Accounting and became her mentor. The coldly logical Doctor was often left confused by her upbeat demeanor, and the fact that she would not rest until she got him to give her a hug. The months to follow she proved a potent psychic. By January 6th, 2011, both she and Dr. Willy vanished.
Magpie resurfaced in Bloomington two years later, dazed. She found her way to an Elysium, holding Dr. Willy's lab coat. There she learned she had been in Torpor, and Dr. Willy was still missing. Prince Jack Weiss, after a brief meeting in his office, placed her in the care of Clan Toreador and the Accounting of Zyra.
From then on, Magpie returned to Elysium with strange and violent paintings. She presented them to the Sheriff with whatever message came with the images. Strangely, emotion literally radiated from each work, often disturbing those that viewed them. She began working closely with the Tremere Sheriff Marcus Venetti and another psychic, a Gangrel Independent named Lotvar, Childe of Bulvi. Together they have solved many potential breaches to the Masquerade, stopped a Wassailed vampire, and released the imprisoned Anarch named Laslo of Iowa. It was not long after that the Sheriff requested that Magpie be Acknowledged and she Deputized...
... which lasted all of a few moments as Prince Weiss dissolved the Court and renamed Sheriff Marcus his Keeper. Magpie became his Assistant.
Two weeks later she had her first taste as Hostess of Elysium, Keeper de Facto as Marcus Venetti was away on business. That same night, she was made Primogen and Speaker of the Toreador, Tremere, the Unaligned and the Voiceless.
