Khalida

**Khalida** is a Ventrue of New York and the childe of James Rafferty, which makes her Fuego's Kindred sister a fact she is not happy to learn about. She is an art dealer and socialite, and it was through her connections that she found her future sire a specifically hard panting he was seeking which impressed him enough to embrace her. She enjoys being a part of the Camarilla and is part of the season 2 Camarilla coterie that was formed by all the members sires for unexplained reasons.

## Biography

Khalida describes herself as a "taste maker", implying that she has been a fixture of New York's upper crust for some time. According to her, she met her sire Rafferty after he requested her assistance in acquiring a specific art piece for himself. By all accounts, the Embrace followed shortly after.

Khalida and Rafferty have an interesting relationship - the two flirt openly and at times it is difficult to tell who exactly is in charge of whom. Even after being lied to by James, and then subsequently Dominated into forgetting said lie, Khalida still took the older Ventrue's side when her coterie began to turn on one another.

* **Clan Compulsion:** Arrogance- the need to rule rears its head in the vampire. They stop at nothing to assume command of a situation. Someone must obey an order from the vampire.

This Compulsion lasts until an order has been obeyed, though the order must not be supernaturally enforced, such as through Dominate.

2so with Scene Queen you ether gain the Influence flaw (•) or Feeding Flaw(•) of prey exclusion but it's being assumed she wouldn't be allowed to take the Feeding Flaw because that would be redundant as she is a Ventrue who already has the clan bane of Rarefied Taste.
