Background:

                    Few things are known about Banshee. She was embraced in the United States in 1949 by a Daughter of Cacophony who had Anarch symathies. This young woman with the typical appearance of the 1940' pin-ups and with a restless mind who could easily fuel her ambitions was being confined in a future where the US wanted her to grow up children and clean the new subburbs houses.

When she awakened herself to her vampiric state, the woman saw in the Kindred society the same flaws, and decided to fight it, as she had, now, supernatural powers. She went to the Anarch Free States where she liked the life, even if the ambient chaos was, in the end, unbearable...

She heard about the possible return of the Anarchs and Brujah in Paris. So she went with them and fought in the nights of Mai 68'.

Since them, she hangs on with the Parisian Anarchs and Brujah, trying to raise their spirits by her songs and make them continue the fight against the oppressor (i.e. François Villon)

                    Banshee is a young woman with platine blonde hair (dyed on her original brown) and blue eyes. She wears punk-, hard-core or even sometimes bondage-inspired latex clothes.

She carries herself with no few amount of confidence, and her steps demonstrates more about her knowledge about about Thai-boxing than proper (in the Toreador ways) etiquette.

Role Playing:

                    You're a real Brujah, or Anarch, and she will like you. If you have potential for rebellion, like naive idealism, or thirst for justice, then she will consider you like a potential friend. But if your behaviour is Cour-inspired, then it will be easy to understand how much she despises you.

She is, as proper to parisian Anarchs, quite familiar with Esprit, but will only use it against Courtisans, never naive Neonates or Anarchs.

She misses sometimes the freedom of the Anarch Free states, and sometimes find the parisian Anarchs too much ''scared'' of the Elders. She considers herself as one of the Iconoclasts.

Notes:

                    She has no love lost for Constance, and knows that her Duchess feels the same for her. Knowing her Duchess's position is somewhat fragile, she likes to remind her she doesn't care for her title...

In truth, Banshee is Lucia, the Sire of Farinelli. She met Constance after quiting the Castrato, and soon after, she was targeted by an Assamite who almost killed her, and then by a Sabbat Pack. Thanks for the help of a Gangrel friend, she survived, and even managed to Diablerize one of them. By the reaction of Constance at her survival at the first encounter, she now believes Constance tried to removed her because of her internal status within the Bloodline.

So she disappeared. It must have something to do with the Sabbat Toreador Antitribu she met in the U.S.A., but he made her a whole new face if she would accept to sing for him. Vicissitude really makes the difference, as she now masquerades as her own mysterious Childe, calling herself Banshee. She believes Constance is now frightened and search for traces of Lucia around her Childe, and her paranoia is growing, as she see nothing, and so imagine even more...

She can be found in the Psaume 69, an Anarch Anarch Nightclub.

Actual Aim:

                    Officially none. Vague ideas about taking the seat of Constance within the Grand Cour (Naive, isn't she?...).

Now, she would like nothing more to see Constance fall, and then see how the Camarilla who looked the other way when she was attacked and even when she was supposed destroyed. While she already had Anarch sympaties in that time, she now support them wholeheartly.

Rumours:

• She is a Diabolist (True: A lot of Auspexed-Kindred tried to scan her, but none found the well-known Black vein in her Aura. This rumour was spread by Constance!)
• She is Brujah (False: Other silly rumour spread by Constance).
