1997-1998 Background:
26 March 1998: In a war opposing the Giovanni, the Ventrue and the Brujah for the control over the Maffia, Leonard lost his Ventrue Prestige and the control of his families, the Giovanni Don Ernesto was caught by Neonates (Nathaniel, Carlo, Jimmy and Yorgues), bought back to Villon and condemned for not having presented himself upon his arrival in Paris. Vanessa was killed by the hand of an unknown agent, probably an Assamite working for the Giovanni. Her body (along with her head) lies now under the theater of the Vieux Rousselet.

25 years-old woman, with dark hair and blue eyes. She has her hair cut medium, like Uma Thurman (in Pulp Fiction). She is more awing, and a lot more dangerous...
Role Playing:
The french IronLady. Always cold and emotionless. She's a vulcano ready to explode. No one working for her would even think of deceive her. The last one was cut alive in little gore cubes in front of her other Lieutenants.
She sees the other Vampires as "Top Lieutenants". In the contrary of Don Caravelli, she prefer female cainites lieutenant, even if all her mortal lieutenant are males. It's like a revenge: The mortal male "big revolver" macho lieutenants craving for the immortality only women can have (as Ghoul or Vampire)...
Notes:
Vanessa could find interest in a female Cainite in a difficult situation. As the bargain is interesting, even if the Rite of Prestation make that it will be difficult to ''pay'' Vanessa.
All the Vampire Lieutenants of Vanessa were at least 1/3 Bonded to her. Each error gave the choice to the Lieutenant: Be killed or drink some of Vanessa's Blood.
So she had a cotterie of loyal lieutenants around her... Even if she apparently did nothing for the Clan, she always came up with money to pay for something useful for the Clan when needed. So she had a great Prestige. Some even thought she would have liked to take a more active in the Clan affairs, but she continued this way because she's one of the principal money sources of the parisian Brujah.
Now, the Clan Brujah is actively searching for an individual (Kindred of the Clan, or Mortal to be Embraced) to take up the work were Vanessa left it.
Actual Aim:
To free herself from Villon's Prestation, she was working with a young Toreador named Yorgues for free. She was waiting the moment she will be able to pay her Prestation with all the Prestations Yorgues owed her. But she started to become quite fond of the Toreador... But her death prevented any project she could have had.
She wanted to win power over the political power of France, by using her charms. It would have taken some time, but she could have succeed...
