Overview

Maryam al-Zarq Amatel Shahid 2016

Arabic Name Translation:
 Mary, the Blue-Eyed Servant of the Martyr

Alias(es):
 Leah Rossetti

Apparent Age:
Young Adult

Concept:
Missionary

Physical description:
Maryam al-Zarq Amatel Shahid appears to be a petite Caucasian female somewhere in her twenties. While she does not give off the monstrous or predatory vibe of the truly Inhumane, she is pale and gaunt, and her features seem to have Sorrow and Grace permanently etched into the places where Humanity used to be. Those in her presence notice a sense of holiness that radiates from her.

She typically wears boots, cropped jeans, and a loose, plain shirt beneath a long white linen robe with a large hood. The robe can be buttoned closed to cover almost all of her skin, but in America she tends to wear it open at gatherings and to remove it when moving among the mortal population. Her short hair, when visible at all beneath her hood, is held back by a bandanna headband that covers her forehead.

Her accessories are far less plain than her clothing. She wears a cross made out of scrap metal with 'Ground 0' engraved into it, an antique brass cross of Celtic design, and a chain with two silver pendants: one for St. Michael and one for St. Christopher. A pink and brown leather bracelet with a small leaf charm adorns her left wrist, along with a black elastic bracelet of white tiles depicting portraits of various saints. On her right wrist she wears an antique rosary, purple with gold inlay, that seems a bit too large and heavy for her.

Detailed Status:

  • Maryam al-Zarq Amatel Shahid is not a member of the Camarilla.
  • Maryam al-Zarq Amatel Shahid is an al-Safir, or Ambassador, from the Ashirra.'


Character Information

Known History

2016

Mortal History
She was once an American missionary in the Middle East, providing emergency aid at refugee camps.
Spring 2015
Leah Rossetti was brought to Annapolis by her sire and introduced as an Independent Caitiff to Sovereign Prince Rook. Their appearance raised more than a few eyebrows - both were notably stand-offish and devoutly Catholic - but she was *Tolerated as a resident of the domain.
Summer 2015
Leah Rossetti began to travel throughout the domains of the Mid-Atlantic, lending assistance with various investigations. Her methods were somewhat odd, as rather than seeking out direct confrontation, she often went off on her own, only to emerge with unexpected answers or leads. She never raised a hand in violence. Remaining staunchly Independent, she refused to take part in the war between the Tower and the Sword. She was outspoken against harm to humans or even passively aiding those she considered 'of the Adversary.' Scrutiny only made her more aloof.
Fall 2015
Rumors spread of Leah Rossetti's startling influence in the region. She had gained the obvious favor and protection of multiple Princes and other luminaries, and was frequently seen in private conversations with them. Known to be skittish and flighty, she often disappeared for nights or weeks at a time and it was almost impossible to maintain consistent or reliable contact with her. She was *Tolerated in multiple Mid-Atlantic domains and frequently moved between them. She remained friendly and approachable when she was around.
Winter 2015-2016
The impact of Leah's presence in the region was noticeable, although how much of it was her doing was debated in not-so-quiet whispers. Humans were healthier and generally better cared for. Kindred with whom she kept company seemed more peaceful and even more Humane. She helped track down monsters spreading a supernatural virus in Baltimore, gathered information about humans who had made pacts with a demon in DC, held lengthy theological discussions in the court of Philadelphia, and minimized human casualties in Annapolis during various combats. She briefly hosted a visitor from the Ashirra to Annapolis, translating linguistic and cultural barriers.

Lent 2016
On the first Sunday of Lent, Leah disappeared - this time, it seemed, for good. Rumors abounded that she was fleeing for her life, though no one would speak openly of just who, or what, was supposedly hunting her. Some simply assumed she had withdrawn to observe her religion's holy season.

April 2016
The individual who returned in April had Leah Rossetti's face and memories, but the resemblance largely stops there. She has stated that she has been reborn, and that her name is now Maryam al-Zarq Amatel Shahid. No longer claiming to be Caitiff, she has instead called herself al-Amin. No longer Independent, she has instead announced herself as one of the Ashirra, sent as an Ambassador to the West.
