NAME: Marian April
CHARACTER'S AGE:  28  (24 when changed; 4 years as a vampire_
NATURE: Baby Vampire
DESCRIPTION: Marian April has pale, childlike skin, thick coppery hair, and
thoughtful sapphire eyes.  Delicate, sensual lips, a long, graceful neck,
and a mischievous smile complete one's first impression of her.  She's
curvaceous rather than slender and prefers exceedingly simple, timeless,
clothing.  Most often she wears silk caftans, plain tunics and trews, or
long unadorned dresses.  One of her weaknesses is perfume and aromatic
oils, and she wears some kind of scent at all times. 

PERSONALITY:  Marian is a generous, loving individual. She's idealistic and stubborn, and refuses to
let her views on the importance of love and the beauty of life be sullied
by mere reality.  Generally cheerful, she has an impish sense of humor and a
frank, indulgent sensuality that her Master found enchanting.  She loved
her
career as a masseuse while mortal, and continues it, though with a slightly
different clientele, now that she's a vampire.  She truly cares about
others, and wishes to help them, using a combination of massage, herbs and
scents, luxurious wines or sweets, and very rarely, sexual attention.  Her
goal is to make them feel as intrinsically beautiful as she sees them.

ABILITIES:  She has always had the ability to heal through touch, though at
first it depleted her own energy and often made her ill.  When she learned
to channel healing energy, and to pull it from the earth through a
grounding ritual, her abilities increased greatly.  When healing, a very low level
receptive empathy manifests.

HISTORY:  She was turned by a master vampire, once a client, who was
looking for a confidant and protégé.  Calling herself simply, "Circe," she began to
teach Marian about the intricacies of the supernatural heirarchies and
introduced her to the tantric philosophy (though she's leaving
heterosexuality till later * Marian has been a lover of women, thus far,
and plays bottom to Circe's top).  The two were lovers for several deliriously
happy years in New Orleans.  Circe adored her, but when her home city was
ravaged by a rogue master, she returned to Europe immediately.  A longtime
friend of Namir's, and long ago, much much more, she sent him a formal
letter of introduction for her pupil and beloved, asking him to protect
Marian and continue her education.  She directed Marian to wait for her in
Sanctuary, and gave her the mysterious name "Alhambra."
