Brigitte Bowie

**Player:** Cassildra

**Aliases:** Fluff-Headed Artiste (unfriendly), Keeper

**Clan:** Toreador

**Sect:** Camarilla

**Status:** 3 (Keeper of Elysium: Ashford Hotel): Famous, Honorable, Known, Well-connected *Untempered*

#### **THE WHO**

Rumor has it, Brigitte Bowie is young.

Brigitte, the Keeper of Elysium, doesn't deny this particular rumor and in fact, encourages it. When asked directly why, she says she wants the city to know that the Prince is good and wise and fair. And seeks talent at all levels.

And then she shrugs. "Or else," she adds with a wry cheekiness that is quite unlike her, "Prince Anastos simply wants cannon fodder. Either way, he wins."

Brigitte was only Embraced 20-some odd years ago. This is another fact that she cops to.

But she won't tell you her generation, or why she feels so damn powerful.

#### **THE WHYS**

Because Anastos said she's good enough, and if the Prince believes in the Toreador, who's she to disagree? Walking with a strut she *knows* she deserves down to her very core, Brigitte is going to be the Keeper of Elysium until a better position comes along.

She's not after Prince, mind. She's not got the mindset. And after talking to her, most would agree. But some still feel like she's cagey, hiding something.

This is when she sighs and goes back to her art.

#### **THE WHAT**

Brigitte's art is unusual, to say the least. It's nothing like a Sabbat Toreador's, and thank God for it, but it's definitely that of an ancillae, what with the memory of remembered sunrises behind it, and sunlit roses, and sun. Sun. Lots of sun.

It's almost like she's a mortal being, the amount of sunlight she uses in her artwork.

And her medium is unusual, to say the least. The Keeper is obsessed with needlework, taking her more portable pieces with her everywhere so she can work in her office when there's a rare lull in the action.

If she trusts you, she'll work in front of you.

She doesn't trust many people.

#### **RUMORS**

All characters can have heard these rumors:

* Her art is prized by the Council, and she'll soon have a showing for His Grace.
* Keeper Bowie found the mettle to stand up to the Gangrels when they threw their bully attitudes around in Elysium, but it remains to be seen if she'll weather their counter.
	+ omg *Gangrels* wtf is wrong with you High Clans
		- Would you prefer "*outlanders*"?
			* v0v
* Brigitte is rather fond of more Ventrue-like clothing and expressing herself like one verbally, acting like a Toreador only in her art. Her pieces are on display in Elysium, even. And she's super protective of them. Ruin one and see a Toreador's wrath...
* Keeper Bowie had some wilder days in her (relative) youth, and she used to ride motorcycles. She still has one stowed somewhere in case of emergency, a black Harley Street 500 that she does maintenance on and keeps in riding condition.
* Oh my God, did you hear about the latest fight between that asshole and the Keeper? Bowie won, but barely. She really has a distaste for that unsettling, mask-wearing bastard.
* The Keeper's cold. Formal. What's she hiding, dammit, beneath that icy exterior?
* I heard Bowie diablierized her sire and her grandsire. Her great-grandsire better watch out.
	+ Oh my God, dude, just look at her aura. She's fine.
