Appearance: Tristen nis naturally a red-head and has the skin complexion to show it: pale with freckles across her nose. Her hair is dyed blue and long, tied into thick deadlocks and usually tied back. She’s a standard height of around 5’ 4’’ with green eyes. She wears an ecclectic mix of clothes, usually an attept to gain repsect with older vampires by wearing tehir style of clothes. Often it’s a punky mix of waistcoats, ruffled or silky shirts and torn up jeans. She has a lot of jewellry that never seems to match and most fow hich looks homemade, and has a nosepiercing and snakebite lip piercings. Her body language is a little odd and fidgety and there’s something disjointed that pops up in her eyes quite regularily.
Personality: Tristen is a confident and headstrong, if often wary, young woman. She embrace dthe vampiric lifestyle and was taken into the powerful network of ‘official’ vampires quite quickly. She’s very intelligent and creative and interested in the occult, and vampirism has given her quite a few abilities. She’s extremly perceptive. She’s suffered from Artistic hypomania her whole life – so she’s clinically insane. This only got worse as she was sired (her sire also knew this and intended it as he was part of an ‘insane’ sect of vampires). Her Hypomania –when it strikes- creates a high and obsessive creative inspiration and manic need to express it. Her energy levels get high and she suffers from mood swings. She can cpmpletely lose control and go completly mad. When she ‘crashes’ from this state of mind she can show physical twitches and liekly gets addicted to something. Usually this is alcaholic blood. When she draws, she sees things no otehr people see. This, linked to her occult interest can sometimes be practically prophetic or telepathic. Occasionally her creativity also makes her come out with some odd turns of phrase or perceptive comments.
Motivation: Tristen has grown somewhat tired of the politics of the vampire clans in chicago – especially as she was forced into acting as a double agent for two lords. She’s trying to catch a break, but was only allowed to leave on the condition taht she look out for breaks in the ‘masquerade’ – ie vampires that are killing too many too obviously. After teh stroies of Little Wendigo, she’s decided there’s the perfect place to get a holiday. Her motivation on life is to get more credibility in teh vampire world and gain power.
