Further Information
Jerome presents as a slight, unimposing individual in their late twenties, with a pale complexion and short brown hair. They prefer to wear long, dark dresses and skirts reminiscent of their former religious vocation.
- 1798 - Born in Syracuse, NY, under the name Lucia Maria Francesca Giovanni
- 1816 - Moves to New Orleans and undertakes the novitiate
- 1817 - Formally joins Order of Saint Ursula in New Orleans; takes the name Sister Mary Jerome
- 1819 - Moves to Charlestown, MA, joining the convent there and working as a teacher for the newly opened Catholic school
- 1825 - Given Proxy Kiss (stays affiliated with the convent as a means of strengthening Giovanni influence in the church)
- 1834 - Protestant mob burns the convent in August 1834; the Giovanni family uses this as a means to formally separate Jerome from the order
- 1835 - Embraced in April at annual gathering
- 1836 - Leaves Accounting and begins combat training
- 1860 - Begins necromancy training, taking advantage of “resources” in the St. Francis de Sales Cemetery at Bunker Hill
- 1945 - Leans on family connections to obtain a seat in Harvard’s inaugural legal medicine seminar; finds it surprisingly enjoyable despite mainly being there for inconspicuous access to autopsy equipment and the occasional human bone
- 1960 - Branches out into studying the Shadowlands, fascinated by the nature of wraiths and the theological quandaries they present
- 1972 - Finally gains enough mastery over the Shroud to cross it and journey through the Shadowlands for the first time
Jerome was, as of late, a deeply private member of the Giovanni family, content to live in relative anonymity until Kindred politics pulled them back into the fray. Formerly a nun from the Order of Saint Ursula in New Orleans, they have a stronger tie to Humanitas than many of their fellow Giovanni, and they prefer to feed on animal blood rather than human blood.
Over the course of their unlife, they received extensive training in melee combat and necromancy to aid in defending the North End from the Sabbat. Their necromantic studies have cultivated an eerie fascination with corpses, and they often refer to their zombie creations as companions or even “fellow sisters.” Jerome’s professed goals of sainthood and selflessness are continually undercut by a craving for arcane knowledge and the power that comes with it, and they go to great lengths to avoid confronting this hypocrisy directly.
