Siobhan Hargrave

**Siobhan**, born as *Siobhan Torrence*, is a Ventrue Neonate from Cork, Ireland. She is the childer of Fitzwilliam Hargrave, and is a naive vampire living in Chicago as a part of the Milwaukee Miracle Workers.

## Biography

Siobhan Torrence was born to Maud Torrence in 1920 to an American expat living in Cork. Maud kept the identity of her lover secret as long as she could, only forced to admit her lack of discretion to her Domitor, Fitzwilliam Hargrave, when she got pregnant with Siobhan.

For the most part, Siobhan had a happy childhood. She always saw Fitzwilliam as her father, at least in the ways it mattered. He hardly paid her any mind, but she still played the part of touchstone to the aged vampire. He would often include her in trips to Elysium and other Kindred events, especially as he became Prince of Cork.

Her mother took her to mass every Sunday, an allowance afforded to them by Fitzwilliam who had been quite the religious man in his day (though, he had been staunch Protestant). Still, Siobhan grew up with a great reverence for God and his saints, specifically Saint Edith of Wilton, a woman who chose the church over a lavish lifestyle with her family. Siobhan swore to herself she would never be like Fitzwilliam, who, as she grew older and more rebellious, she saw as greedy and inhumane.

At 16, she was shot on accident by a boyfriend, Pádraic Kearney, outside of an Elysium in his attempt to kill Fitz. She was officially turned into a ghoul by Fitzwilliam, and her mind warped from there. Her life seemed to pass rapidly during her 12 years as a ghoul. As she grew older, she strayed back into Fitz’s good graces, a companion to him more than a servant by the time she turned 22. Whether that was due to the Blood Bond or his treatment of her is unknown.

In 1944, her mother died saving Fitz’s life, as Fitz's lack of participation in World War II made him appear weak to Kindred in the surrounding area. When the Kindred attempted to kill Fitzwilliam, Maud took the blow intended for him, and she was mortally wounded. After Fitzwilliam dispatched the attacker, he went to Maud's side, ready to Embrace her. However, she asked that he protect and take care of Siobhan.

Against all reason, he let her die, informing Siobhan that her mother was now dead, and the redhead found herself in between a rock and a hard place as she grieved her mother. As a ghoul, her mind was hazy with a need for the vitae, but her heart ached with the loss of her mother. Almost to compensate for the loss of Maud, Fitz brought Siobhan closer and closer in his inner circle, divulging Camarilla secrets to her until all of that culminated in Fitz Embracing her on Christmas in ‘48. The haze of being a Ghoul cleared, and her world changed forever. In death, she took on a more hands-on role as Fitz’s daughter, going to Camarilla events with him publicly (with no Masquerade violations), meeting the primogen of the multiple clans in his Princedom in Cork.

However, as she blossomed under the attention, Fitz grew jealous and began to pull her deeper and deeper into isolation.

Suffocated by his affections, Siobhan begged for a friend that was not her father, and for decades, he denied her, content to keep Siobhan wrapped up tightly and out of sight. He eventually prevented her from going outside the estate at all. In 1995, she met a young Marion O'Toole, a recently orphaned child. Her parents had died in an automobile accident, and Marion, smart girl that she was, ran to neighboring houses and estates for help. She raised Marion as her own child for some time before ghouling her at Fitzwilliam's insistence when the girl turned 16. Despite the friends that came to her out of the blue, Siobhan wanted to get out and make her own. So, she began to plot with Marion, planning to incapacitate Fitz so she and Marion could escape.

Fitz, himself, became more and more isolated too. By the mid-2000s, he had given up his Princedom to his Seneschal — Nikolai Vasilyev — and kept Siobhan in his sight at almost all times.

In 2020, Marion and Siobhan had finally solidified their plans. When Fitzwilliam was in his daysleep, Marion would sneak into his room and stake him. His sleep was so deep that he hardly noticed until the wood pierced his heart. After that, Siobhan and Marion escaped on a plane to America with Siobhan tucked away in a coffin in the cargo hold. They made it to New York City, staying there for only a week as they plotted their movements. Under cover of darkness, they made their way to Indianapolis before going to Chicago. She set Marion up with an apartment and a job, and Marion cobbled together a relatively good Mask for the two of them. Then, Siobhan started the treacherous process of releasing her from her status as a ghoul and allowing her to become independent. Much to her surprise, Marion chose to stay friends with Siobhan, helping her as best as she could.

Siobhan decided to move to Milwaukee to keep Marion safe just in case Fitzwilliam got free sooner than they expected and came after them. There in Milwaukee, she met Simon Castle, a boy whose voice still hadn’t fully developed. He attempted to sell Siobhan drugs on the street, his poor frame exhausted just from a year in the foster care system. She persuaded him to tell her his story, and he told her of his passed parents and estranged sister. Siobhan took pity on the boy, spiriting him away to Marion to take care of him. Marion happily took the boy in, happy to help anyone who needed it.

For the next two years, she made herself a staple in the Milwaukee Princedom, making friends with the Kindred in the area without fully revealing who, exactly, she was (or rather, had been) back in Ireland. It was there she met Gerald Tarrant, a Kindred of great power who knew of her sire. Thankfully, Tarrant felt no real love for Fitzwilliam, and in exchange for her services, he would, to the best of his abilities, hide her existence. However, he made it clear that, should Fitzwilliam find her, she was on her own.

She took that deal, figuring it was better than dying immediately. It was also in Milwaukee that she met Alexia Kinsington, Dr. Han Faber, and Juniper Jones, her future coterie. She nurtured these relationships and began seeing Dr. Han on a regular basis for therapy. They all fled together with Tarrant's assistance when the Lupines attacked Milwaukee, spirited away to Chicago.

## Appearance

Siobhan has copper red hair to the middle of her back that curls in wild tangles when she doesn't fix it. She has pale violet eyes, akin to Elizabeth Taylor with an old Hollywood look. Her brows are dark and usually furrowed, plucked and fixed to perfection. She appears quite thin, but she has a generally hourglass shape. Her skin is bone white, but she often covers it as best as she can with make up and other beauty regimens.

Clothing-wise, Siobhan is a bag of mixed tricks. When in Elysium, she is prone to wearing lavish gowns (purchased on Alex's dime) that accentuate her Ventrue heritage. When she's not in Elysium, she's often wearing one of Simon's jackets or jeans. Often, she wears vintage items she's purchased from local thrift shops (once again, on Alex's dime). Her favorite outfit consists of an Iron Maiden t-shirt, ripped jeans, Chuck Taylor's, and a leather jacket. Though, she doesn't *hate* the pretty dresses.

## Trivia

* Siobhan is ambidextrous.
* Siobhan has only ever ghouled one person, Marion O'Toole.
