Further Information
Keshet appears to be an uncannily attractive [Appearance Focus via Vicissitude] Jew in their 20's, 5'9", with a curvy feminine body type but androgynous look overall. They are extremely pale skinned, with dark, haunted eyes, and black hair in the side-sweep-and-undercut style so common among non-binary queers. They wear black cat-eye glasses, and either perfectly fitted black suits or black skinny jeans with a sweater or biker jacket, sometimes set off with a top in white or jewel tones, favor goth makeup, and at formal events usually wear heavily embroidered jackets, never gowns. They often smell of an especially heady blend of incense based around frankincense, myrrh, and cinnamon.
They are sometimes attended (or is it babysat?) by their sire's ghoul, a large black cat named Shadow.

Kindred society knows Keshet as an extremely talented embroiderer, medium, and oracle. The long-term ghoul and student of Zalman-Rose Melamed, they ended up rather suddenly being Embraced Malkavian instead, apparently with the blessings of House Melamed.
Having been affiliated with the Library of the Sixth Worthy for several decades through Zalman-Rose, and with a former Inquisitor as a sire to consult as well as their own powerful insight, they are now more than qualified as a member in their own right. They're also tech savvy enough that they continue to work with and the, using the digital alias "0r4cl3".
- If you do the math, Keshet would had to have had their first major appearance change done before Virgil and Evangeline were members of the Camarilla.
- Pretty much everyone in NYC actually knows this... and says nothing out of a general liking for their Prince and/or support for trans rights.
- Keshet's sudden fallout with House Melamed was the result of Zalman-Rose keeping them a ghoul so long.
- No, it was because <a href="/wiki/%22El%22_Bisset-Caesarea" title=""El" Bisset-Caesarea">"El" Bisset-Caesarea</a> threatened to poach them.
- No, it was because <a href="/wiki/Nissim_Melamed" title="Nissim Melamed">Nissim Melamed</a> deemed them unsuitable for the Embrace.
- No, it was all some sort of long-standing Malkavian prank.
- Keshet was mentally ill and shouldn't have been Embraced Malkavian, even if they're proving remarkably suited to it.
- They were, but it was actually the effect of a curse, and cured by lifting it.
- They were, and it wasn't a curse... it was possession by a spectre or some evil spirit - with similar results.
- That's just what spirit sickness looks like - and now that they're initiated, they're fine.
