Shabanna

Shabanna is connected through the Coterie as Kadia's Sire.

## Personality

Shabanna is a well-mannered, well-connected, and well-composed Kindred of good standard within the Camarilla. She is aware of the Ventrue's elitist ideals and has made many attempts to not fall into the same mindset. Shabanna prides herself not on the quantity of people she knows, but the quality. Hence, she surrounds herself with a close circle that draws from a variety of other Clans. This has given her a reputation of being one of the 'better Ventrue' that non-Clan members are more likely to go to if they need connections within the Ventrue. Despite her efforts of diversity she still has some snottiness- something most seen when she criticizes the younger generations, rolls her eyes at thin bloods, and openly demeans the Book of Nod.

Shabanna is at 6 humanity. She does care about people, especially those she likes, but she is very indifferent and even callous to people who disinterest or irk her. She doesn't mind suffering anymore unless it's particularly gruesome.

## Lore

### What You All Know

Shabanna was Embraced during the Ellis Island immigration rush. She was quickly forced into the territory wars that came from such an influx of people. Her Sire was an awful woman who Shabanna bad mouths without restraint in private. She's truly dead, after all, and Shabanna delights in every reminder of that.

### Actual Backstory

"Information is business, and you will not pry into mine."

## Domains

Shabanna's main feeding ground is within the Southern Tenderloin district. She does have other minor allowances to occasionally feed in parts of Lake Merced, for the sake of taste diversity, as some of her close Ventrue friends have gifted her that permission.

## Notable Equipment

### Boon Pact List

Shabanna primarily deals with Boon and Favor trades, as she often works with those not in the Ventrue Clan. She uses her vast ally network to repay most people in information, assisting them with connections, or giving them material goods she purchases in their steed. Though she is willing to get her hands dirty through manipulation and delegation if that's what her Boon is owed, and *especially* if her given Favor is not repaid...

## Relationships

### Camarilla Vampires

#### Alfred Vilner

*Respect. A valuable business partner. Gentle friend.*

"Alfred is the most human soul you will ever meet. More human than any Kine. And if I were to not tell you this, you would realize on your own when you see him. This does not make him weak, however. He is like a Ventrue in that he uses the power of his words and mind before his fists. The difference is he can be in a photograph on Facebook and the Sheriff won't call the Prince. Not because he shouldn't, but because he wouldn't dare."

#### Kadia

*Caring. Need to treat her well.*

"She is a *wonderful* candidate for our Clan: polite, just disarming enough, willing to learn, and always striving for more. I couldn't just let her stay with the herd. She will be so much more with us. I've done so much to groom her and amplify her skills to give her the best chance at survival I can. Though I do worry terribly for her mind outside the civil circles of the Clan and Camarilla. She has an addictive personality when it comes to certain things..."

### Anarch/Sabbat Vampires

#### The Anarchs

*Fools, nowadays.*

"The Anarch used to be a glorious movement. In the past, the best of them were truly the best of the Kindred. They saw with clear eyes the manipulation, the betrayals, backstabs, and suffering within the Camarilla. They moved within the Camarilla to fight the corruption and ignorance within. But now? They are fools. They are thugs and unguided protestors with *nothing* to show for their vivd history. Much like the modern Brujah, many of the Anarchs are naive half-Kine's that don't know how to live as a proper Kindred should."

#### Talora

XXX *HATRED. XX CUT. X NO. X DIE. XXX*

"You know of Talora? *Come here*. Don't be frightened. *Smile* for me. This won't hurt. I just can't let you report back to her is all..."

### Mortals

#### Mortal Society

*Amusing. Separate.*

"I keep up to date with it. The new technological changes are very interesting to me, as are the evolving politics that the Kine have become more engrossed in. Despite that, I still primarily use fax for my business, *heh!* I can't understand all those little applications on my Childe's cellphone and I have no desire to."
