(OLD) The Masquerade

A young human female with a lean, athletic build, short dark hair often tousled from training, sharp brown eyes, and a few faint scars on her knuckles. She wears practical, urban clothing suited for movement, often with a leather jacket and combat boots.

Jennifer is fiercely independent, passionate, and determined, but also vulnerable and uncertain about her new vampiric nature. She is cautious around others, especially those with more power, and struggles with the moral implications of her actions. Her fighting spirit remains strong, and she uses it to survive and protect those she cares about.

Jennifer Mackay is a fledgling Brujah vampire struggling to accept her new existence. Once a rebellious kickboxing champion from Fulton, Illinois, she used her fighting skills to assert herself in a world that often underestimated her due to her gender. Her accidental Embrace came from Roz, a Brujah who was captivated by Jennifer's poise and strength. Roz initially intended to leave Jennifer for dead after the Embrace but instead kept her hidden, allowing Jennifer to feed discreetly while figuring out her place in the vampire world. Jennifer now navigates the dangerous underworld of Chicago's Kindred society, procuring safe heroin for her lover by posing as a customer to local gang members, all while fearing the attention of powerful Kindred involved in the drug trade.
