Vera Valentine

Vera Valentine is a frequent presence among NYC's All-Night Society, having arrived in the city sometime in the early 1970s. She pays her Rent much the same way she always has, working as a popular entertainer for any Kindred in good standing with means to pay her, showing no preference or prejudice in what manner of stage she graces. 

She rarely volunteers any details about her past, but can sometimes be enticed into sharing various stories of her neonate years on the road; she admits to having been a wanderer even before she died, and if one were to pay attention to her wild tales or makes note of some of the slang that slips through when she's speaking candidly, one could guess that she is at least somewhere into her second century of existence.

She's a known member of the First Estate, though if pressed she admits to having no great stake in Kindred politics - it's simply a matter of the Invictus being the sorts most-willing to keep a troubadour such as herself on retainer. 

Fame 1 (Kindred): Having spent decades on the midnight roads before settling in NYC, Vera is known well among the All-Night Society as an entertainer of skill and talent, and known also for the multitude of stories about her various misadventures in those decades. Did she really sing with Sinatra and the Rat Pack, or share lines with Ozzy Osbourne?  

Status 1 (City): Vera's been in NYC for over half a century, and is a fixture of its All-Night Society.

Status 3 (Invictus): This one, this one sometimes seems a bit odd. Vera is held in rather high esteem by the First Estate, perhaps higher than a simple entertainer might be expected to be - even one with her skill, experience and rumored ties to Selene Volchain. If asked about this strangely lofty standing among the First Estate, she simply smiles and replies 'Guess I'm just their sort of dame, honey."

Striking Looks 2 (Timeless Beauty): There's no denying that Vera is gorgeous, but the most-striking thing about her beauty is that she has an air of timelessness to her allure; she can quite easily slip into the style of most any era she sets her mind to - perhaps because she was around for most of them when they were first in fashion?
