Isa

**Isa** is a Vampire.

## Biography

Life in the barrio trained you to watch out for yourself at an early age, and being a young woman just made it more difficult. The gangs were only part of the problem-- of more concern was the daily disorganized crime that threatened you at every turn.

The neighborhood was full of heads, rapists, thieves and two bit criminals who took advantage of any opportunity they saw. And they almost always say it in the chicas who called the neighborhood home.

The church was your sanctuary, though: a place you escaped the evil of the world by looking to Christ. But faith wasn't enough to protect you. After being raped by one of your brother's cholo friends, you turned to the gangs for your protection.

You had to resort to that which you hated just to make life tolerable, and even that was a left handed deal.

You suffered through group sex with the gang's male members and tooth jaring beatdown at the hands of its females before the locos considered you one of theirs.

Surprisingly, you took to the gang lifestyle with ease - it stirred something primal within you. It gave you power that you had never commanded before.

Before long you had more status in the gang than many of the guys and found yourself running several of the more profitable jobs.

The money rolled in, the cops didn't fuck with you, you had all the drugs and booze you wanted, and if anyone had a problem with you, your vatos hit them so hard they learned to never speak up again. Where was the catch?

Then you were told it had all been a test. The gang's leader called you in for a meeting and inducted you into a new gang: the Kindred.

To this night you don't know whether it's because you passed or failed.

Being a vampire in a gang means never being taken for granted. Of course, very few of the locos know you're Kindred; to them it just seems that you're damn good at what you do. Your sympathies tend to life with the anarchs but you're not about to do something stupid like renounce the Camarilla or join the Sabbat.

Just like with the gangs, the Camarilla offers safety in numbers, and you don't really take part in all their political bullshit anyway.

The gang's more a family to you, anyway, but that's as it should be.

Your hot temper leads you into many acts of violence or indiscretion, but as you see it, that's what vampires do. Your prime concerns are money, vitae and some small degree of physical comfort, but you lend your strength and connections to anyone you believe has a just cause, sort of like the fold heroes of your Latina upbringing. Other vampires are either tools to use or important people to know, but your sire has told you that there are some serious badass Kindred out there, for whom you should have fear and respect. Fuck that - in your eyes, everyone's got to prove themselves or they're no good to you.
