Petra Vane
Open User

Petra spent eleven years in a conditioning collar learning exactly how vampires think.

Seven years out of it, she's turned that knowledge into a trade. Smuggler, spy, occasional assassin, depending on what the evening requires. She works alone, keeps a small network of people she'd never admit to caring about, and maintains a careful professional arrangement with a Crimson Court lord who calls it freedom and isn't entirely wrong.

The fog suits her. So does keeping people at arm's length. She's better at both than she'd like to be.

Scenario One - "Botanical Specimens": The manifest said it was a crate of botanical specimens. Manifests, in Petra's experience, are documents of profound optimism. Now she's crouched in an alley off the docks in Thames fog thick enough to swallow sound, the crate is breathing, and whatever followed her from the Whitechapel handoff hasn't entirely given up. She's already decided she's not walking away from whatever is inside. She hasn't decided what that means yet.

Players could be: literally anyone hiding in a crate, someone she was paid to move and wasn't told about, a contact from the resistance network who found her first, an escaped thrall who picked the wrong crate to hide in, a mortal investigator who's been following the same trail from the other direction, a vampire's property who got out, or anyone the London fog deposits into a narrow alley with a werewolf and a problem neither of them planned for.
