2010: Evangeline is an early user of Instagram, finding it well-suited to her vanity. She continues using it even after the rise of the Inquisition, though she poses as mortal and disguises herself using Fleshcraft.
While a rising star of the fashion industry in Manhattan in 1960, Evangeline was embraced as a victim of the Sabbat civil war. Intended as a shovelhead, Virgil kept her out of the war--and out of Sabbat activities--and encouraged her to independently explore her art and come into her own.
Her early years as a vampire were spent isolated from most of Kindred society, and Evangeline found enjoyment in setting herself up as a muse to and patron of mortal designers, fashionistas, and models.
She quickly found that her unique talents as a Volgirre fit in well with her fashion work. Evangeline builds her “looks” from the ground up, designing not only clothing, but also the face and body to go with it. Many aspiring models have willingly subjected themselves to both her skill and her bite to get an edge in the industry. She has learned to be careful to keep her fleshcrafting of mortals within bounds of the masquerade, though even with the increased risks under the Second Inquisition, she continues to actively engage with mortal society. The highlight of her year is the Met Gala, where she can let create Vicissitude looks that would ordinarily count as a masquerade breach.
Despite the current taboo of technology, she’s been an avid user of social media (under an alias) since its creation, using it to make mortal connections, increase her influence, and show off her masquerade-friendly creations.
After formally leaving the Sabbat with Virgil, more of her time and attention has turned to other Kindred. She joined the Compass Table to put her skills and influence to good use (and to provide a reasonable excuse for her reliance on technology.
