2. Describe how your character would appear to a stranger (I.E. typical dress, way they carry themselves etc.) She can usually be found in blue jeans, black boots, and a t-shirt. Her favorite is black with white letters on the back that say "I'm a bomb expert. If you see me running, try to keep up." She loves the styles of today and and prefers to never put on a dress unless absolutely necessary. She has a slight spring in her step, especially when there is danger at the end of her path.
3.What does your character like? Beer, no not beer, ale. Fast cars, men and blowing things up. Not necessarily in that order.

5. (For humans) Describe what abilities you see your character having if they were turned.
6. What are your fears? Spiders, she hates them. Being burried alive. She knows it's a silly fear as she could most likely just dig herself out now, but it still gives her goosebumps and makes her stomach ache.
7. What is your character's strengths and weaknesses? She's very loyal to those she calls family, and enjoys her job almost to the point of forgetting to go hunting until, someone either picks her up off the floor and takes her or she gets a strong reprimand from her boss. She likes to blow things up, which can be both strength and weakness depending on who you ask. But she really really likes it.

Flaws
Ginnie is Superstitous, due to the era in which she was made a vampire. The lore of that time, made it impossible to know if it was truth or not. She has had a friend or two try and show her differently, but she is rigid in her belief that a vial of Holy Water and a Cross will kill her just as readily as fire and sunlight.
Won't eat from Catholics. She was a good Catholic girl before she was turned, and now she can not make herself drink the blood of a member of The Church.
Cosmetic Traits(These must be minor, see the rules)
Quirks and Habits worthy of mention
She still likes to celebrate Christian holidays, Christmas, Easter, etc. She carries two guns in shoulder holsters, both of which are of her own design.
Personal History (Please be detailed, this creates your basis for your character) Alana was born to Cedric and Mary Kavanagh on March 5th 1724. Her parents were the Gentleman's gentleman and the Head Miad of the Connally Estate. She was raised with the three Connally children, who everyone knew were not acctually sired by Sir Connally. When Alana was eighteen she was assigned to be the chamber maid for m'Lord. Sir Connally lived his days backwards, meaning he slept during the day and worked during the night, and so did everyone in his household, save the children, nanny, his wife and the head maid, as she saw to the daily running of the house and the markets closed about the time the rest of the house woke. Alana had shown great skill with the lap harp and had been given extensive lessons so that when she was of age, she could be put to work in m'Lord's chambers.
Each evening she entered his room, stoked up and added wood to his fire, then sat beside the bed, playing her harp until he woke. Just after her sixteenth birthday, he chose to take her for a bed mate, along with her other duties. One evening after she had relieved his need, she asked if the rumors that he had been the only Sir Conally ever to reside as lord of this mannor were true. He told her the truth. If did not make her afraid to be working for a vampire, she known him her entire life and he had never hurt her, she knew he was no cursed creature, and so she went about serving him in the ways she always had. Just before her eighteenth birthday, he asked if she would like to be his bride, as his current wifed had died of a fever. She agreed on the condition that she be his only wife for the rest of his life. He agreed, but she would have to bare him two children first. By the time she was twenty she had done just that. They found a wet nurse for the baby, and he turned her. It took her just over a week to recover and adjust to her new existance.
Just twenty years later, the mannor was over run by an angry mob, accusing them of being Satan's spawn and the set fire to the structure. Alana was away on a shopping trip to the next town over, and Sir Connally was caught in the blaze and perished. She laid low for awhile, using the portion of the estate that fell to her as her means of living. She learned how to invest and was soon able to come out of hiding. She began to sing in the local tavern and enjoyed herself and her patrons a great deal. Every five years or so she would move to a new town so they would not grow suspisious of her unaged face and body.
In the late 1800's she decided to begin teaching music and traveled to England to teach at one of the plethora of girl's schools. When The Great War hit, she discovered she enjoyed watching things explode and began to study how it was done. However it wasn't until the sixties that she was able to obtain formal schooling for it. She traveled to the States and spent nine years obtaining multiple degrees on munitions and engineering. During that time she learned, that her husband, had been a member of the Anantya Clan and she set about learning more about the Clans, which is how she came to Nachton. When she discovered that her particular brand of expertise was not needed or wanted in the clan of her husband, she took her wares to the Tàcharan, who eagerly accepted her among their fold. She now works in R&D ar Duibne Industries.
