Further Information
In Kindred company, the first thing to notice about Yarrow is their uncommonly human appearance; their light ocher skin holds the flush of life, and they appear to blink and breathe as much as humans should. They appear to be a biracial person of white and Korean background in their early twenties, short, flat-chested, and broad-shouldered. Yarrow's soft physique and smooth hands are characteristic of fin de siècle idle elite, with hungry, lingering dark eyes set in a round face. Their dark is worn down to their hips, usually brushed loose and flowing, suggesting that it simply maintained the fashion of their time and was never cut or meddled with very much since.
Yarrow typically wears skirts and dresses, although the whims of the night determine whether they favor blue or red, black or white, lace and full sleeves, or sharp, androgynous tailoring. Their jewelry is typically ostentatious, preferring silver, pearls, garnets, flowers, and winged creatures. They almost always wear a crown of flowers, among which are woven chrysanthemums in funereal white, red roses, and white hydrangeas stained in black.
Their manner alternates between languor and almost ferocious alertness, speaking barbed words from a decadent seat with an oracle's eerie magnetism. Still, they don't seem to shy away from the blood and dirt of Kindred existence, nor the pain and brutality that come with it. They describe themself as a Symbolist, a gardener, and a haruspex, and while they usually look a little too clean for the latter two occupations — perhaps covered by their preferred botanical perfumes — their hands are sometimes stained with ink.
1183: Yarrow is born; they prefer not to disclose the location.
1905: Yarrow is Embraced in Paris by an Ananke named Phoebus, known for a fascination with the scalpel and a rocky relationship to his Humanity.
1907: Yarrow leaves Accounting after a relatively brief period, proving their aptitude as a quick learner.
The events in between are much shrouded in mystery, although prior to their arrival in the Boston area, Yarrow seemed to be well acquainted with such figures as Alena Sokoll and Lillian Mason.
2023: Yarrow moves from Paris to Boston, following rumors of old acquaintances and distant relations in the Northeast, and keen to shore up the Camarilla presence in such a curiously novel city.
Yarrow is superficially forthcoming about some of the details of their past, and distinctly vague about others. They are a child of international work and travel; by their appearance, they were born not long after the time their parents would have been able to meet, given the relatively isolationist policies of the Kingdom of Joseon; as a young person, they were swept up in the Symbolist movement, and became an avid admirer of such lesbian luminaries as Sappho and Natalie Clifford Barney. They write poetry, they grow plants, and they read "spreads" — a euphemistic term for bodies opened for the use of their entrails in divination, whether dead or undead.
There is a mystique that swirls in their wake. They are a proud teacher, although they rarely offer lessons freely. They swept into Boston as a relative unknown on a winter's ball, in an obnoxiously full blue dress, icy white flowers in their hair, silver boots better suited for the cabarets of their youth, and enough pearls for a king. By the end of the night, they held a position on the Primogen council. They'll tell your fortune for free, if you're willing to be read under a soft hand and a ceremonial blade.
