The Masquerade

A woman appearing in her late 20s, with dark tightly coiled hair often pulled back beneath a faded army jacket or hoodie. Her face and arms bear scars from battles and betrayals. She dresses for utility, not attention, with a posture slightly hunched from the weight of her past.

Maldavis is resolute, deeply intelligent, and quietly charismatic. She carries the weight of history and loss but remains driven by idealism and belief in the Movement. She is cautious with trust but fiercely loyal to those she believes in, embodying a hardened yet hopeful spirit.

Born Carol Davis in Chicago in the 1950s, Maldavis comes from a family steeped in Black excellence and tragedy. Her great-uncle, Abraham DuSable, a mysterious figure from the early 20th century, reappeared in her life in the 1980s. Embraced by a Tremere vampire, the blood did not take, leaving her clanless but Kindred. Inspired by the Anarch Movement and Chicago's civil rights history, she became a firebrand leader, nearly toppling Prince Lodin during the Council Wars. Betrayed and presumed dead, she survived decades of isolation and reflection. Now, with the Anarchs rising again under Kevin Jackson's rule, Maldavis is ready to lead the fight once more.
