Bio

While a rising star of the fashion industry in Manhattan in 1960, Evangeline was embraced as a victim of the Sabbat civil war. Instead of letting her be used as cannon fodder, Virgil Vendicimo taught her about being a vampire and encouraged her to independently explore her art and come into her own.

She quickly found that her skills as a volgirre fit in well with her pre-existing interests in fashion. Evangeline builds her “looks” from the ground up, designing not only clothing, but also the face and body to go with it. Among mortals, she is of course cautious with her fleshcrafting, but more than a few aspiring models have willingly subjected themselves to both her skill and her bite. She enjoys the company of mortals, perhaps too much for safety under the second inquisition.

Despite the current taboo of technology, she’s been an avid user of social media (under an alias, of course, to preserve the masquerade) since its creation, using it to make mortal connections, increase her influence, and show off her masquerade-friendly creations.

In part to excuse her use of technology, she joined the Compass Table to put her skills and influence to good use.
