My favorite lady I have been playing in a Vampire the Masquerade game we have been playing the last few months. I finally made a proper reference sheet, though this is one of two as I want to make a second one with other details!

Marina was born in Finland in 1895. Her family fled from Finland in 1904 for a better opportunity in the US (NYC) and to escape Russian controlled Finland where a revolution was occurring. As Marina grew older she worked in a factory that produced metal for firearms and with that grew to be a strong lady due to the work. In that time she met Martti Winefride Brant at a social party one evening who became her boyfriend when she was 18 and married him not long after. The couple would go on to have two children: Oliver (born 1917) and Saana (1919). Right before her death at 28, her husband has went out one night friends. When he returned home, she would discover that he was a newly embraced "vampire" and turned on Marina. Unknown to Marina in the panic of fighting for her life desperately, she experienced her First Change before her death and her embrace.

Upset and confused on what had happened when she "woke up", she made the difficult choice of leaving her children in the care of her brother. Marina would very quickly discover she was not just a vampire... she was an abomination and had no control over herself. She could no longer stay in the city as she was shunned from both sides of her supernatural state.

Travelling as a drifter, Marina would come across many people but gripped with the struggle of figuring out why Martti left her.
