## Basic Information

### Appearance & Personality

5'3". Covered in fishnets, chains, piercings, and a couple tattoos, this angsty nugoth keeps an edgy look that attracts more people than it scares off. Though if anybody gets too familiar they might just get a new bruise. People that are into that or patient with her might see a softer side buried under it all, but most learn to leave her the fuck alone. If there's something (or someone) she wants, there's not much that stop her single-minded determination. Really leans into the assertive badgirl shtick, but tries not to *really* hurt people unless they deserve it. Though Lavish tends to keep pushing her further.

### Important Connections

Lavish Valentine

The little bastard that she's gotten herself stuck with. Always getting on her nerves. And NO she DOESN'T have a crush, fuck you.

Didi Hunter

Yeah, they used to date or whatever, so what? Gene's over it. Stop staring like that.

Arsling Broganson

She's-- Ugh, why... Gene kinda felt bad for her? She came for a reading one day and Gene *may* have given some hints about the hunt on her head. Didi doesn't know. Not yet, but... It all kinda got between the two. Gene's been especially awkward around Arsling ever since, but she tries to be nice.

Sebastian Blythe

Honestly, Gene hates the guy. Such a pompous dick about her magick. Annoyingly hot though. Might kick his ass later.

Colby Adams

Met the guy at the Valentine's party on the day of their death. Shared a blunt in the corner and complained with each other mostly. Fucking weird that he died. Gene's kept an eye out in case this is the start of a bad pattern.

Serenity Smith

Girl's a sweetheart but she needs to pull her shit together eventually. Oh well, not like Gene's one to judge.

Jack Sowinski

Can't get a solid read on this guy. He's kind of a prick but he's got soft moments too. At least he stands up for the rest of the gang when shit's rough.

### Roleplaying Tips

* Don't make her a hothead, she's more seething than explosive.
	+ Reverse this on full moon week if you care.
* Extremely physical, emphasize the body language. Think leather jacket lesbian.
* Actually cares what people think but makes a point to act aloof about it.
* Include some quiet moments where she can show her emotional intelligence.
* Extreme 'do what I say, not what I do' energy.
* Get her in some dumbass fistfights.
* Her method of seduction is very 'I take what I want', without need for many words.
* New to taking orders with Lavish and doesn't really like it. They have a way with convincing her to follow anyway.
* Attempts at humor are deadpan and awkward, and don't happen often (doesn't get much practice).

## In Play Development

### Established Facts

Forced out of her London home when her single father died, Gene's stuck in Night Falls with her shitty, homophobic extended family in the heart of small-town suburbia. Has kept the chip on her shoulder ever since, but at least the punky, dangerous heartthrob vibes made her popular with the misfits and weirdos.

* Witchy af, lots of sigils and tarot.
* Secretly a Serene fan.
* Exes with Didi.
* Tipped Arsling off to the werewolf hunt, and any of them that know give her the side-eye for it.
* Majors in anthropology.
