Levy Tate

Levy is a member of the party marked by the Lonely, who, before the events of the campaign, lived in the Crowd on the outskirts of Rye. They grew up in Rye-- although seemingly no-one recalls their childhood with any clarity-- and occasionally could be found in town for work or when staying with Mischa or Ward. Currently, they help the party where it suits them.

## Appearance

Levy has mid-length, thick brown hair, although it seems to be greying from the ends upward, and in thick streaks. They have olive skin, prominent acne scars across its cheeks, and dark brown and grey eyes. They stand at about 5'7", and hardly show the lower half of their face; usually hidden under a bandana. This, a tan jacket, and red beanie are part of its daily outfit, and they're hardly seen without them. Their face is often difficult to see clearly when they're unable to cover it.

It has a variety of scars, most prominently a long gash running from their outer forearm to halfway up their upper arm. They have several smaller scars about their hands and fingers, and a sizable burn across their forearm from Candlemaker.

## Personality

Generally preferring to hang back and watch before engaging, Levy comes across initially as quiet and observant, and this is true for the most part. Around others, it seems to have a fondness for banter (which can often become downright mean), and it seems to be the easiest and most entertaining method of communication for them. Barring this, they have a tendency to be incredibly cagey, but with the right incentive or circumstances, are willing to part with information. Likewise, they can be convinced to do things for the benefit of other people, but otherwise won’t go out of their way to help others, aside from Ward or Mischa. Being around others for too long tends to make them irritable, and while their connection to the Lonely is no help in that department, they independently seem to have a need for extended periods of time alone to function.

Levy has a vested interest in the long-term, and does not take kindly to those whose actions threaten that. This is rendered mostly harmless by way of their long-term goals amounting to little more than staying alive and largely unnoticed in Rye, and having a bit of fun with it while they’re at it. They can be driven when self-motivated, although they are excellent at pivoting in their plans. This manifests in loathing to limit their options, but can often lead to them being unwilling to commit and leaving ends loose. At the end of the day, they’re really only willing to work towards their own ends, unafraid to get their hands dirty, and are willing to shirk principle if it proves advantageous. Knowing they lack in brute force, Levy has a tendency to outsource their intimidation, whether by way of other people, artifacts, or taking advantage of favorable situations.

## Relationships

### Cecelia Ward

After meeting Ward when they first moved into Rye by way of a botched attempt to feed, the two have become remarkably close in a short period of time, despite some of Levy's seeming reservations about them. Levy expresses a fair amount of interest in Ward's research, and appears to participate to some degree, most likely to keep itself occupied. They spend a good deal of time together, and there seems to be a level of mutual trust, given Ward's mentioning that Levy usually appears when called, and that they've watched Ward's house while the researcher took trips out of town. The Lonesome does their best not to hurt Ward, and in turn, hopes Ward will do the same, and overall places a great deal of trust in Ward’s judgment, although they will never pass up the opportunity to banter about it to their face. Despite this, Levy seems to have a deep wariness of the ring Ward has, often asking them not to wear it around it.

While compelled by an Eye artifact, it has designated Ward as someone to mess around with and feed on to Candlemaker, although this is not the full extent of their thoughts on the researcher. Levy cares far more about Ward than they try to let on, and does have romantic feelings for them. Although given their reluctance in forming and identifying meaningful connections, they struggle to label this feeling. Additionally, recognizing how difficult the difference in their circumstances has the potential to, and already makes things difficult between the two long-term– as well as how easily they and Mischa coexist– they have offered to help Ward become Marked only once, and was refused. Levy refers to Ward almost exclusively as "Researcher" despite knowing their name, although they haven't provided a reason for doing so.

### Mischa Palmer

The only other person Levy has expressed a degree of care for, Mischa is Levy’s oldest and closest friend, and one of the only people they've allowed to maintain a connection with for several years. They have a strong sense of solidarity with the hunter, that being the main basis their definitely-not-friendship was formed on, despite being at vastly different points in Becoming. Frequently accompany him on hunts, thinking they're feeding on his prey's isolation.

Mischa provides Levy a sense of safety and stability that's otherwise foreign to them, although they often reject, or are obstinate in accepting, help from the avatar. In return, Levy provides a way for Mischa to ground himself and companionship, although they don't see it that way and try to dispel the idea.

### Blair Hills

Levy is by and large neutral on Blair, although believes that she could be swayed into being useful to their ends with regard to the events of the campaign, given how driven to action she is.

### Fletcher Bishop

Recognizing and very nearly respecting Fletcher's being the voice of reason amidst the group, Levy finds Fletcher amusing at best, and cowardly at worst. As with the rest of the party, the two's personalities occasionally clash.
